Characteristics available in Billing are not passed on to the Profitability Analysis (CO-PA)

[former_member448804]

Hello,

In SAP DBM, for Vehicle Sales Order, PA uses characteristics which are available in the billing document but are not passed on to the Profitability Analysis (CO-PA). I have a KEDR Derivation with a breakpoint and I can see the characteristics related to Billing with data completed but these are not passed to the PA object.
This occurs for example with VKORG, SPART, VTWEG, KAUFN, etc. Only the charateristics related to CO Order likes  WERKS, AUFNR, PRCTR are passed to CO-PA.

It be  will  a miss configuration in COPA, in DBM or a problem in SAP ?  Thanks and regards.

Hi,

Hope the required characteristics are part of your relevant Operating Concern and structures are generated properly.(Tcode- KEA5)

There are char required in DBM which we have to define. For Model year, Vendor, vehicle type etc.

Pls check in CO-PA Operating concern settings and origin table+field combination.

Have a nice time !

Thanks Pravin.

We need the SD characteristics like VKORG, SPART, KNDNR, FKART. The values are not transfered to the Profit. Segment receiver of the Order Sender.

In Debugging mode, I can see the values in the structure i_copa_item but it was not saved in the Profit.Segment.

Any idea? Thanks and regards!

Hi Yenia,

As you know when we settle orders from DBM to CO-PA it is basically Internal Order Settlement.

The char like VKORG,SPART are org data which should be available in Internal Order too.

Check the IO of the DBM vehicle order.

Also check the below SPRO settings where we can assign char from DBM Order to Settlement.

DBM Spro-Order-Basic Function-Account Assignment-Internal Order for Bill To Party-Define Para for Settlement.

I believe if you can populate the char in IO then system will surely transfer it to Prof.Segment.

Thanks and Regards,

Pravin

Hi,

I checked the DBM Spro is correctly configured, with chars: ARTNR KDGRP MATKL VKORG and others, all associated with a DBM Order and Source Structure Q1 Source Assignment 1, 2..5.

But The Profit.SEgment generated in the CO Order has not the values like VKORG Billing type, etc.

What is the check IO of the DBM vehicle order that I need to do ?

Very thanks and Regards, Yenia

Hi Yenia I have the same issue in a client, Did you solve this issue?

[former_member448804]

Hi Julio,

i could solve it using a CO-PA derivation (KEDR). During the order settlement is invoked the exit, then I added code for get the SD data like vkorg, vkgrp, etc when the transaction is KO88 o KO8G. The CO order and SD documents are linked via  /dbm/ord_docflow table. In the code for derivation you can fill the copa item with the SD information.

Hi Julio,

We have the problem when we are doing a Good issue it is not in the billing which create a PA document complete different that good issues which generate a incomplete document it has sales costs and some characteristics but doesn't show characteristics important like clien, DBM Order etc.

Are there some alternatives to add this information? some specific user exit?

Hi Virginia,

For add the DBM info in the COPA characteristics you need to implement Derivation Rules (KEDR).
