Wip postings- urgent

hello friends,
After I run the wip calculation, the system makes postings to three different gl accounts(inv labr, inv matl, inv o/h) on a pro rata basis.
How would i know the percentages of the break-up of wip? Where do these settings are made in img?
Your timely help is much appreciated.
many thanks

Hi,
I've looked at the config using the Tcodes you've given me. There's no apportionment no. In Tcode OKGB, the other settings seem to be alrite.
My problem is as follows:
When I run the CO03 and look at the cost analysis of a production order which is partially delivered, it shows me the figure for the total WIP with clear break up of total labour, total material, total overheads(matl+labr). I then settle that particular prodn order using KO88 and then check for the balances on the GL accounts.
For example, if my cost analysis screen shows me a total WIP of Rs.100 with a break up of Labr-Rs10/-, Material-Rs.50 and Overheads(Matl+labr)-Rs.40/-. I then should be able to see those same figures in the relevant GL accounts, but rather its showing me different figures on the GL accounts, like Labr-Rs.7/-, Material-Rs.60 and overheads-Rs.33/- and the total is same Rs.100/-.
I wouldn't say its a rounding problem. I'm not able to understand how its breaking the WIP into the relevant constituents. Why is it posing different figures than expected? Would it be an error in config or any other reason? Can somebody help please..?
Many Thanks.

  • WIP in FI?

    Hi There,
    I am supporting Service modules and would like to know the purposed of WIP postings in FI..
    I know that during month end, if we have any open service orders (REL) that incurred cost, during settlement, the WIP will be posted in FI.
    May  asked, in a most simplest way why?.. I mean in financial term, why do I need to see WIP posted in my FI? I think these relates to P&L or Balance sheet? no clue.. (Please bare with me if these looks really a simple question.. )..
    But what happens when the next month end, the service order has been fully completd (TECO), does the entry of WIP in FI will be cancelled? or it will stay there?..
    As I know during settlement, all actual cost will be settled to CO... In settlement do I see postings to bith FI and CO?
    Please help and advised.
    Thank you..

    Hi Tina
    Why you need wip? We have a matching concept in accounting which says that revenues of a period must be matched against the expenses of that period
    Expenses charged to service orders are those which are incurred but revenue for them is yet to be earned. Hence, when you do wip, you Debit a Balance sheet GL and Credit a P&L GL. This means the debit posted to P&L on account of expenses is nullified with credit posted upon WIP.
    Next month, when the order is complete, the wip posting gets reversed. Wip posting happens only in FI, but the values are derived from CO module
    It is similar to you building an asset in house (auc). You post expenses to an internal order and settle to AUC asset each month end because expenses for building an asset must not be charged to P&L
    Hope its clear

  • KKAO: Production order settled but not appeared in

    Hi expert,
    KKAO will calculate WIP only for the open orders where the order status is not fully delivered. And in FS10N we find entries related to WIP postings resulting from KKAO transaction processed during monthend.
    Process works as below:
    Say one order is with partially delivered status as of monthend:
    1. KKAO during month end wil result in below entry:
    WIP A/c (B/S A/c) Dr
    Change in WIP A/c (PL A/c) Cr
    2. When the production order is fully confirmed in next period, entry wil be:
    FG Inventory A/c Dr
    Cost of Goods Manufactured Cr
    3. When you process KKAO during monthend, earlier WIP calculation entry will be reversed as below since the production order is fully confirmed:
    Change in WIP Dr
    WIP Cr
    But in some orders i have observed that while we run KKAO it is not creating all above entry in accounts records.How is it possible.Pl advise.
    Regards,
    Samar

    Hi gurus,
    Thanks for the reply.
    The ststus is : "  REL  MSPT CNF  DLV  PRC  CSER BCRQ CAPP*  " of said production order

  • Integration between FI & PP modules

    Hello guru's,
    can any one of you explain the integration between FI & PP modules? at wht point of time accounting documents would be generated?
    Please give the t.code for the same?
    thanks in advance
    rgds,

    Hi,
    The FI-PP Integration points are :
    1) Material Issue to Production (T-Code MB1A)
    2) Material backflushing (T-Code CO60) at the time of confirmation of Production on Production / Process Order - This is material consumption at standards as per BOM.
    3) GR of Production (T-Code CO60) after the Goods are approved by Quality
    4) Settlement of Prodn/Process Orders (T-code CO88) when the Variances are posted
    5) WIP Postings (T-code CO88) - WIP is posted as Dr to B/s Account & Cr to P/L Account

  • CO-PA: Result analysis process

    Hi COPA Guru,
    1) Will Result analysis post WIP for FI posting or it only calculate the figure?
    2) Is it Result analysis always necessary before settlement?
    Thanks,
    Kick

    Hi,
    At period-end, you can calculate WIP using Individual or Collective settlement.
    The following activities relating to WIP nneds to be done at period-end:
    1) Allocation of Overheads to Production/Process Orders at planned rates
    2) Actual Price calculation (T-Code - KSII)
    3) Revaluation of Production/Process Orders (T-Code -CON2)
    4) Change Cut-off period for WIP (KKA0)
    This is required to prevent the system overwriting the WIP calculations already posted till the previous period.
    5) WIP Calculation (KKAX/KKAO)
    This only calculates the WIP but does not post to FI.
    The system calculates WIP based on the status of the Production/Process Orders. WIP is calculated on all Prod/Process Orders which do not have status DLV (Delivered) or TECO(Technically complete)
    6) Variance calculation (KKS1/KKS2)
    The system calculates Variances based on the status of the Production/Process Orders. Variances are calculated on all Prod/Process Orders which have status DLV (Delivered) or TECO(Technically complete)
    7) Settlement of Production/Process orders (CO88/KO88)
    The system posts the WIP & the Variances calculated in 5 & 6 above.
    Once the status of the Orders change to DLV or TECO, system will reverse the WIP postings made in previous periods.
    To answer your specific questions:
    Result Analysis is the WIP calculation (KKAX/KKAO), which only calculates the WIP but does not post to FI.
    Result analysis is always necessary before settlement.

  • Need help restoring data after security wipe - Urgent!

    Hello,
    I am in need of urgent help.
    I had saved some really important information in the memos of my blackberry curve 8520. After that I changed my phone to a non-blackberry phone. but I still had the old phone but it was kept off most of the time. I had backups from June 13, 2013. very recently I wiped the phone. (Very big mistake) Now I am in need of that information that I had saved in the memos. Now when I visit the blackberry protect website through my laptop it shows that the back up is there with 15 memos and many other things. but when I open the app of blackberry protect on my phone it shows that there are no previous versions of backup available to restore. 
    Now please tell me and help with this. I badly need the information that I have stored in the memos of this earlier back up version.
    Another thing I have noticed is that there is a problem in the link between BB Protect website and the BB Protect app on my phone. For example, if I click on "Play Sound" or "Display a message" on the BB Protect website, it tries to communicate with the device and then waits for the device to respond and then it fails to do the function clicked.

    Hello,
    Please check very very very very (did I say that enough?) carefully that you are using the exact same BBID credentials on your new BB that you are logging into via PC.
    If they are not the same, then that explains why it cannot present you with those backups on the device...they are associated to a different BBID than you are using on your BB now. To change your BB over to the BBID that contains the backups you require, you must WIPE the BB:
    KB26694 How to change the BlackBerry ID on a BlackBerry PlayBook tablet or BlackBerry smartphone
    However, be very careful when you then associate the BB to that other BBID...done incorrectly, you can lose your prior backups...refer:
    KB31489 BlackBerry Protect for BlackBerry smartphones does not display any backup files to restore
    Then again, if you are using the exact same BBID on both the device as well as via PC/browser, then the method discussed in KB31489 may already have been done incorrectly, wiping out those prior backups (and there is no way to retrieve them).
    Good luck and let us know!

    Hi Narasimha,
    If you ran the job in background, check SM37 for the log.
    If spool lists created check transaction SP01 to view the details.
    Whether run in background or online, you can check in KO8G under Goto -> Previous settlements.
    There are other ways but it depends on what data you processing.

  • URGENT Trying to wipe and reinstall Leopard 10.5 on my 2008 imac8,1 from the disk but my hard drive doesn't show up

    So to give a little big of a background on my computer.  I got it January 2009 as a graduation gift, because I was going to get a degree in Graphic Design and Animation.  I only worked on it [mostly brousing the web, and itunes]  for about 6 months because I was taking all of my general courses for college.  I then met my boyfriend [late 2009] and moved in with him, my boyfriend has a macbook so I left my mac at my parents house.  I was only Using it every now and then and it would be idle/ or shut off the rest of the time. 
    Fast forward to fall 2011.  Me and my boyfriend live in a condo so I brought my computer over because I am now taking graphic design courses and need my computer.  I installed a free 30 day trial of adobe cs5.5.  It made my computer kind of slow and it froze alot even though I still have over 250gb's of memory in it.  After the trial ended I kind of stoped using my computer again,  rather installing the free trials of cs5.5 on my mom and my boyfriends macs until I had enought money saved up to buy it.
    Here's where it gets tricky.
    So now its March 2012 and I tried uninstalling the trial of cs5.5 on my computer since it was just taking up un needed space.  I had to uninstall all of the programs one at a time other wise it would freeze up.  I have had to hold the power button down to get it to turn off because i couldn't even move the mouse even after waiting a while.  Anyhow I get to the last program and it keeps freezing, I tried shutting down my computer via<apple< shut down. But when I start it up again I got a file with a question mark flashing on my screen.  So I looked up how to fix that and had to locate where to start up [I selected my hard drive] then I was able to get on to my computer.      
    So then I go to disk utilitys and do a repair on my internal hard drive to fix if there were any messed up files. After the files are repaired I figure I'll restart it and let everything get up to date.  When I do I get the gray screen with the apple and the spinning wheel.  This happens OVER and OVER.  I tried soft reseting it, manually turning off the computer, you name it.  But it still keeps happening.  So I figure I'll just wipe it clean and reinstall the whole thing. [I have it backed up on an external drive]
    I try to reinstall leopard 10.5 from the disk that came with my computer, all goes well until I gets to the 3rd screen where you select where to save it to, my hard drive doesn't show up.  But if I connect my external hard drive it shows up right away.  I try seeing if it pops up on disk utility, and it doesn't show up there either. 
    Is it possible that my hard drive is shot?  I haven't really used my computer that much.  Its pretty much sat at my parents house for 2 of the 3 years I've had it.  So its not like I used it a whole lot. 
    Help! I'm a college student who needs her mac now more than ever for my design classes!

    The battery alone is a $5 to $15 part.  Hard drives vary in cost, and depending on the iMac, they may or may not be able to install a third party hard drive, or one resold through Apple.    The resold through Apple drives tend to cost more.  This article discusses the varying successes of third party drives on iMacs:
    http://blog.macsales.com/10146-apple-further-restricts-upgrade-options-on-new-im acs 
    The labor costs depend on the store as well as the time to get the parts in stock.    Call around.

  • Switching off summarization of postings from T&E to FI- URGENT

    HI All
    This is a Statutory requirement for Poland
    1.In PR05 When the Expense types are Same but appear as 2 different line items ( e.g claimant going from Mumbai too Pune and then from Pune to Nasik there is two entries but the Expense type used is the same CAB) but when we make a posting in FI ( first PRFI and then PRRW) then the two line items gets merged into one as they have the same G/L account and same Tax Code -is there any way to switch off this summarisation. They want two diffrent line items in FI document 
    2. Same with the VAT Code line item appearing in FI document . The Poland MC says that this is a statutory requirement where they want seperate line item of VAT code for each line item in PR05 even if the tax code is the same - any solution for this too
    Bottomline is that the FI document should reflect all the invoices submitted by the Claimant
    Please help me urgently - Reward points obvious
    TIA
    Abhi

    HI Pravin
    It is still summarizing . I had split a Expense of 2000 in 3 parts but assigned it to the same expense type ( that is the core issue ) but when I look att the posting Run ( PRRW ) it is again summarised the values to the G/L account the expense type is mapped to
    Any thoughts if I am doing it wrong
    Many Thanks

  • Calculation of WIP in repetitive scenario - urgent

    Hi,
    We are using Product Cost Collector (Product cost by period) to capture the cost.
    I have the following queries.
    We are using standard REM profile, Target cost,
    1. If I calculate WIP at the month end in a scenario where no GR has been made (No final good produced) will system calculate the WIP based on  consumption (material and activities)  for that month.
    In this scenario month end settlement should post the WIP values also.
    2. Will system calculate the Target cost for the PCC if no GR is made for that month?
    3. If settlement is made will there be an entry posted for the materials and activities consumed?
    4. How SAP determines WIP in a repetitive scenario, in the following cases.
        Scenario 1 - Month  end confirmtaion with GR (Goods delievered)
        Scenario 2 - Month end calculation with GR , only GI has happened and no final product has been delivered, and my Cost captured thru GR wil be equivalent to the WIP.
    Please help me to understand the process.

    Regards,

    Hi Sridhar,
    I have checked all the above cases, payment is wwithin tolerance limits, but still system is posting as residual posting when we import lockbox file but tolerances are working when we do manual posting.
    when we changed the Percentage in OBA3 and in tolerance groups for users system is writing off to a gl account which we needed. But the problem is by doing this we were limiting the tolerances by amount only we were not able to take advantage of percentage since we enter 99.9% and system takes minimum of the two. Do you have any idea about this.
    Thanks,
    Santosh
