Top-down distribution with negative values

[Former Member]

Dear All,

I am facing a problem when analyzing KE24 and KE30 reports for a specific period, customer and article. Some characteristics have assumed negative values, since the bases of sales for them were all positive in the period. I am trying to search for the source of the CO-PA postings for the Top-Down and I couldn't find any negative value. Have you ever faced a problem like this? Would you help me to analyze this kind of problem?

Any help is welcome and points will be awarded.

Many thanks,

Diogo Patriota.

Dear All,

Thanks for the help but as I assumed in the other post, there was an error in Top Down distribution created by the user.

Hi

Double click on those line items in KE24 and copa doc will open. Click on INTEGRATION button to see the origin docs

Also, you can check 3rd tab to see which parent doc is linked. May be it is posted manually from KE21N

Or it is posted manually from FI in which case negative signs are possible depending on cost element catg (01/11/12 if the GL is credit/ debit/credit respectively)

Hi Ajay,

Thanks for your reply but the document has no FI document related and has no reference on it. I don't know why it was created with negative values, because all values which it was based are positive (SALES).

Thanks,

Hi,

Are you using key figure schema (KER1) for COPA reporting.

If yes please cross check for those value fields what are the sign's you given it.

This is one possible reason for changing the Sign in COPA reports.

Hi Ravi, thanks for your quick reply. As I've checked here, for the characteristics mentioned in this issue, there are no customizing in KER1. But this is a strange scenario, because for other periods it didn't happen. Do you have another idea about this?

Thanks again!

Diogo.
