Variance categories and COPA

Hi,
I have already configured the different variance categories e.g. input price variance, input qty variance, etc.. Currently, its posting to one GL account - Production Variances. But client's reqt is to classify to material price variance, material usage variance, direct labor - rate variance, direct labor - efficiency variance. How can this be done?
Thanks to advise.
Regards,

Hi,
in the PA transfer structure, you need to declare the variance category of the cost elements.
And, you have to assign Value fields to Each source line.
Why Presently only one variance category is getting posted is, because, if you dont define the variance categories as I explained above, system uses FI cost elements, which is only one, and form the variance line items with that ONLY ONE GL.
Hope I have clearly explained.

Activity variance and production variance seperate in COPA

Dear experts,
My client wanted to break production variance(ko88 in two parts in COPA reports
Total material variance
Total Activity variance
What i am thinking- In PA transfer structure of Production order.I will create four assignements
1)Material price variance-Only RM cost element(Cost element Group)-Price variance category-Material Variance(value field)
2)Material QTY variance-Only RM cost element(Cost element Group)-Qty variance category-Material Variance(value field)
So both assignment linked to material variance value fields.
same way for activity
1)Activity price variance-Only Activity cost element with 43 categoryt(Cost element Group)-Price variance category-Activity Variance(value field)
2)Activity QTY variance-Only Activity cost element with 43 category(Cost element Group)-Qty variance-category-Activity Variance(value field)
So both assignment linked to activity variance value fields.
Is it works for the above requirements or I will face any technical difficulties.
regards
RR

Hi
For sure, it will work....
Another approach can be to update the variance as per cost component structure instead of variance categories in COPA.... Stil the category wise variances can be seen in Other CO reports like Co03 / KKBC_HOE/KKO0 reports

PA structure in Variance Settlement to COPA

Hi gurus,
When i'm doing the variance settlement from production orders to COPA the system ask me for a PA transfer strucutre 'Message KF018' , to update with the cost element from operation PRD.
In CO-PA I have the two scenarios active costing based and account based.
Anyone can help me ?
Thanks

Hi Diogo,
You have to complete the PA transfer structure that is mentioned in the order. In order to do that you need to:
1) Goto tcode KEI1
2) Create assignment lines that is in line with your variance categories. In order to do that you have to go to "Source" of the each assignment line and select radio button "Varance on PP Orders"
3) Select the "Variance Category" from the drop down menu
4) Goto Value Fields for each assignment and assign them to the Value Fields.
5) Assign this PA trf structure to the settlement profile, if you haven't done so yet
This is for costing based PA.
I hope it helps,
Dave

I want to transfer my photos from the PC (windows explorer) to my Ipad. The problem is that a keep my photos in different categories and they are in one large folder and several subfolders (2 or 3 levels of subfolders).When I sent it to the Ipad, it just respect the first level of folder. After the first subfolder, all the photos are mixed. Any idea how to keep my original organization just transferring from PC to the Ipad (folder having a subfolder also having another subfolder)?
Thanks
Diogo

The Photos app doesn't currently support subfolders, it only has the one level of folder/album. You will either need to change your folder structure on your computer to be just one level, see if there is a third-party photo app in the store that copes with subfolders, or just make do. You can try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

How Do I save and restore keywords, categories and tags in PE6?

I have my photos backed up on an external hard drive, but if and when my hard drive crashes, how do I get back the tags, keywords, categories, etc. that I have used in the PE 6 Organizer? Can I save them and, if so, when I need to restore this, how do I do that? How do I reconnect tags, categories, keywords, etc. with photos that I re-import after a hard drive crash?

John: Many thanks for this help. I use CS3, but my mom has PE6 and I'm trying to help her. I'm not as familiar with PE6.
Again, thanks,
Mark

PSE keeps your keywords, categories, albums, stacks, version sets, captions, notes, dates, and star ratings in a file in a "catalog folder". (Do Help > System Info to find the location of your catalog folder). When you make a backup with the PSE File > Backup command, it copies all your photos and the catalog file into the backup. When you restore from that backup, it copies that catalog file and all your photos to the location you specify.

I think while settling the order system due to 0 impact system post total amount of COGM as Production variance.
I have done the settings as suggested
Under PA Trf Str.. kept "Costs / Revenues" radio button.
KKS2 is not showing any variance, may be i have not set WIP settings is this because of that?
if i change this setting to normal no cost components values flowing to COPA system post actual variance.
Waiting for your reply.....

Variance Categories in OKGV

Hi,
We have the following variance categories in OKGV transaction.Why we use them
Variances on the input side
Input price variances
Resource-usage variances
Input quantity variances
Remaining input variances
Scrap variances
Variances on the output side:
Mixed price variances Output price variances
Lot size variances
Fixed-cost variances
Remaining variances
After executing this in KKS2 as a period end closing,how can i analyse.how the above categories will reflect and where does the values come from to this categories.
Kindly advice me
Thanks
Sunitha

How to see PO Variance settling in COPA

Hi All,
When did the Production order variances are settled and posted to COPA and How can I see the Variances settling to COPA ? Is there any report or it is posted to COPA when Billing document is generated ? I would appreciate a step by step explanation.
Thanks
MKR

Hi,
KKS1 and KKS2 for variance calculation
CO88 and KO88 is settlement variances
once you done with settlement
goto KE24.
enter Curreny Type : 10
Record type : "C"
Enter : product or material number
now you will see lis of documents and double click on your document. now goto Value field tab and you will see production variances are posted to respective value fields.
OR if you are created any Report painter report in COPA and you have mapped Production variance value fields you will in respective value feilds.
Thanks,

Variance between KE30 (COPA) Balance versus GL Balances (GR55)

Hi all,
Would you know what are the main causes of the variances between COPA Report (KE30) versus GL Balance (GR55)? How to avoid it? I've been encountering this for the past months. How to resolve also the variances? Thank you in advance.

Hi,
It is not necessary in costing based COPA for FI and COPA to be equal. It basically depends on your
customizing. In SD you map the value fields to condition types in tcode KE4I (there is no 1:1 mapping to
a cost element). In FI/MM you have a PA transfer structure. Here you could have a cost element group
mapped to a single value field or different assignment lines posting to the same value field. So again
there need not be a 1:1 mapping.
The cost element is not filled in CO-PA when transferring values from SD. The reason is that we transfer
several conditions (each condition can be assigned to a different cost element) with one line item to COPA.
So it would not make sense to choose any of the affected cost elements by chance to the line item
as the line item stands for several cost elements. Also in SD only cost elements of category 11 and 12
are relevant to CO-PA.
At time of settlement you can post the values from different cost elements to different CO-PA value
fields, but in one line item in CO-PA. The idea of costing based COPA is to describe the meaning of
values with different value fields and not with the cost element. Therefore the system maps original cost
elements to CO-PA value fields and this leads to the fact that we summarize over the cost elements.
Since costing based CO-PA does not use cost element as a key, but the different value fields, there is a
summarization through the technical field KSTAR in CO-PA. Therefore, the field KSTAR in CO-PA
makes only sense if you deliver only one cost element to CO-PA. This means that we have only space
for one cost element (one flat CE1 line is assigned to several lines from the sender distinguished by cost
element), but since one could have several cost elements during the settlement we can take only one
(the first or the last one - as described in note 763516).
Due to the reasons mentioned above please check if it is really necessary to reconcile G/L accounts
with value fields in KE30.
regards
Waman

Variance Calculation and Settlement

Hello Gurus,
While performing period end closing, the variance calculated (KKS6) amount is not the same as the amount in settlement (KK87). Both are picking up the same variance categories for the material but with different values. can you please let me know the reason for this.
Note: This error occurs only for one company code, other company codes calculate and settle the same amount. WIP and scrap is not being used by the company codes.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Friend,
did you check whehter all your allocation and distribution cycles related to that company code are executed.
in my opinion you need to check if that is executed and again compare the both reports

Diff b/w alert Categories and configurations

Hi Experts,
Could you please help me here, what is diff b/w Alert Categories and configurations.
Ans also what is the use of Container elements in Categories.
You ans is very helpful for me.
Thanks in Advance all.

Madhu.

Hi Madhu,
In Alert configuration alert rules are defined based on Alert Categories. So Alert Categories has defined using t code ALRTCATDEF. Container Elements fetches the appropriate dynamic message base on the container variable.

About using categories and perspectives for new user

We are just beginning a conversion and upgrade project to convert our Web site to Oracle Portal. I'm trying to get a good handle on some different things we need to resolve as part of the project. One of the first decisions is using Categories and Perspectives.
I'd like to ask users about how they have used categories and perspectives and some real-world examples of how these work and improve the site and user experience.
About us
We're a big nonprofit river authority and wholesale electric provider in Austin, Texas. Currently, we offer very limited online transaction capabilities. However, we are diverse organization and users come to us looking for every specific information, so these elements may be very helpful. I'm evaluating how we can use these and other elements to make recommendations. Some real-world examples and best practices would help a lot.
Thank you, Charles Boisseau
Web editor
Lower Colorado River Authority

Continuing the thread...
Perspectives and categories may be leveraged in custom search portlets, so that you can enter the content one time, in one place, and have selected content display in multiple places.
Re: our "news" concept: our central communications group posts news stories tagged with one or more perspectives, such as which school is related to the story. This allows us to keep all of our news stories in one page group, but reuse the content elsewhere. For example, for the School of Nursing intranet, we can use a custom search portlet that automatically displays only that school's stories.
You'll want to do some up-front planning regarding your classification scheme. One significant limitation of both categories and perspectives is the inability to change the hierarchy. Oracle Portal product team, if you're reading this, this is a serious pain! I might also recommend leaving your classification scheme relatively flat. Tagging content with perspectives becomes more difficult if the content contributor has to visually traverse a deep hierarchy of perspectives.
Categories work similarly, but we mainly use them to visually sort items on a page using the "Group By" feature of a region.
Hope this gets some gears turning.

GR/IR account clearing using MR11 causing differences between FI and COPA

Hi All,
We have Costing based Profitability Analysis enabled. We are facing an issue in 3rd party drop ship orders and COPA. Cost of Goods Sold Drop Ship GL account is being charged when we use MR11 to clear GR/IR account. This is causing reconciliation issues between COPA and the General Ledger.
Does anybody know how to update COPA when we carry out GR/IR clearing using MR11. Is there a workaround?
Any clues will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.
Ram

Hi ram
I have a couple of questions
1. Is the 100 USD of Sales order amount, the sale order value to be billed to the customer or the value of the goods to be delivered to the customer
2. You said that Gr is done for 99, but MIRO is done for 100... Is this a case of price difference?
3. you said upon customer billing, 100 is posted to COGS in COPA....How does the system gets this value, Is this the VPRS value or any thiing else?
Also, when you reply back, I would need one more info from you... Follow the following steps
1. Take the GRIR clearing document (material doc no), where in the 1 USD is posted to COGS
2. Go to table ACCTIT and enter this doc no
3. You will find the line items posted in this doc... Just check against this 1 USD line item, what is the transaction key i.e. GBB or PRD or what else?
Regards
