Hi

COPA is meant to analyse profitability... Only Revenue - Expenses can give you profit... Hence, only cost / revenue elements can be taken into COPA

There is no scope for balance sheet accounts in COPA

Dear Ajay,

I am very happy for your reply. One of my Senior CO Consultant suggested me that, it is possible if we maintain account based COPA. But sitll I am not sure with his suggestion.

Kindly clear me Is there is any solution for my problem.

Thanks in Advance,

Hi

In my opinion, balance sheet values wont flow into COPA whether it is account based or costing based

I dont think thats the purpose of COPA at all

Hi,

You can create B/S account as statistical cost element (cost element category 90 is I remember correctly).

Then you can use it to post to costing CO-PA.

Mate,

Best way is to try it yourself!

I used this trick many times.

Don't forget to assign this account to PA segment in OKB9 and then to a value field in CO-PA config.

Let me know if it works for you.

Sir,

Can you please tell me the procedure of creation of Cost element with Cat 90.

Because, I maintain data OKB2 and tried to create batch input by OAK7. But system was not collecting the BS Cos Element which I maintained in OKB2. And in Chart Of Accounts I maintained the automatic creation cost elements

Please tell me the steps to create BS Cost Elements with Cat 90.

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

Go to transaction KA01. Specify your B/S account as cost element.

When you press enter system will give you an info message:

"Account is balance sheet account: cost element category is defined"

When you acknowledge this info you'll go to a screen where you can see that system automatically

assigned cost element category 90 "Statistical cost element for balance sheet" to this cost element.

Enjoy!

Dear sir,

I tried with what you said in KA01. But system showing this message...

G/L account 10000000 is a balance sheet account

Message no. KS036

Diagnosis

G/L account 10000000 is defined in FI as a balance sheet account.

System Response

Balance sheet accounts cannot be created as cost elements in cost accounting, except for:

Asset reconciliation accounts

Material stock accounts for valuated sales order stock for sales orders or projects.

Really I appreciate your response...

Please give me the soulution...
