KE28 Unassigned Cost

[Former Member]

Hello Gurus,

Were running an Aseessment cycle via KEU5, the result was ok.

Then we run KE28 top Down Distribution for the Periodic Adjustment.

After we generate sa report via KE30, found out that were some cost unassigned to CO reporting code.

We run again the KE28 Top Down Distribution, however, we got an error, no value could be distributed, this is because we already distributed it 100%

How do we re-assigned it to CO reporting code?

Kindly guide me the process on how to re-run again ke28 top down distribution.

Thanks,

Mila

Hi,

Regarding transaction KE28 please take the following into account:

If there is nothing to be distributed no new lines will be created.

For example if you execute KE28 once and then execute it a second

time without making some postings to COPA outside of KE28 then nothing

will happen with KE28.

From similar experience, I can suggest to create a report in order

to check whether there exist reference data for the wished selection of

characteristics. Please, take a look at the sap note 110164.

Also, please keep in mind that top-down distribution process only

records which have the initial value (# - non assigned) in each of the

characteristics in distribution level.

Please check whether in your data one of the characteristics isn't

initial.

In this case no source data for top-down distribution are found and

no new line items are written, despite of the log shows "number of

receivers".

The following is a list of common problems which maybe useful to you:

1. You can not distribute to a characteristic that already contains a

value. Please see note 77476. If you want to distribute to eg.

profit center, then the characteristic must be initial (in the data

to be distributed).

2. In the case where the log showed "number of receivers" but no line

written is a common problem in transaction KE28.

One example is that, if the amount of line items is 0.00 for all the

receivers, no line item will be written.

3. No values in reference data:

If there are no values in reference data for some segments (see the

log), no records are posted (segments which were distributed, but

their value is zero i.e. there is no value to be distributed, are not

posted).

The important thing is: When you select in the variant 'By value

fields' option, there has to be non-zero value in ALL value fields

which are selected in 'Value fields' screen (reference data).

You can check this by creating a user defined report.

4. No initial values in the distribution level (ie. # - non assigned)

in each of the characteristics in distribution level.

If one can see some receivers for an profitability segment in log of

Top-Down distribution for actual data (transaction: KE28) and no line

items exists/were posted as result of Top-Down distribution run for

actual data (transaction: KE28), then it simply means that segment(s)

displayed in log (with receivers) had no value to be distributed, which

consequently leads into reality that no data - line items were posted as

result of execution of Top-Down distribution.

I hope this helps to solve the problem.

Hi Maria and Ajay,

I check the source data -Cost Center accounting-the should be amount to be transferred to COPA is 6,941.81, when executed via assessment, it's exactly the same amount transferred was tranferred.

So from sender CCA to receiver COPA they have the same amount, no problem with it.

Now, in COPA, the field we need for the report is CO Reporting Code. This Characteristics is maintained in Material Master on Classification Tab.

Problem is, some amounts was not assigned/derived to this characteristics.

Please tell me where I could fix this problem.

Thanks

Hi

If some chars are not populated in the Posted COPA doc from SD Billin - You will have to set up derivation rules to populate the same

Especially, if the Chars are maintained in the Classification view, you would need to

1. Create a STEP in KEDR using method "Enhancement"

2. Maintain the Product No in the SOURCE and WW char in TARGET

3. Write ABAP code in the exit COPA0001

Hello Ajay,

These cost were coming from Overhead (CCA) not in SD.

I can't figure out why some of the cost was not derived to co reporting code when it was assess from CCA to COPA.

I already check the assessment cycle parameters and so far it's ok, all cost from cca was transferred successfully to copa.

However, in copa field - co reporting code, there are some amounts not derived to co reporting code, this co reporting code is maintained in material master on classification tab.

Please assist me on it.

Thanks

Hi

If you are talking about KEU5 Assessment from CCA to COPA - Do remember that the culprit is not KEU5... The culprit is your posted billing docs...

The assessment happens on the basis of posted COPA docs... Suppose, in the receiver of your cycle, you have mentioned Customer/Product/etc.... So, if your reporting code is missing after KEU5, it is missing in the Posted COPA Billing docs based on which you are allocating....

So, you need to ensure that reporting code is populated in the posted billing docs.. have you checked this?

Hi Mila

It is always possble to have some things as un-assigned

During KE28, you might have assigned costs from Characteristic X to Y... Hence, these costs will now show for CHar Y...

If you try to drilldown the report for Char Z, the costs would show un-assigned...

See the menu options in KE28, if you can reverse the Top Down Distribution
