Variance category wise variances flow to COPA

[kandati_subramanyam]

Dear All,

As per the customer requirement the flowing were configured in the system

1) I have created Value fields variance category wise (i.e 9 categories) in KEI1.

2) Maintained the PA Transfer structure in which ,I have assigned the Group of Cost Elements (source) and mapped the value fields for each category of variance.

3) PA Transfer has been assigned to Settlement Profile (check box selected for Variances to Costing Based PA) - Process Orders

4) COPA Report was designed by Report Painter in which I have created the elements for all 9 Variance categories.

5) Revenues and COGS value are being flowing to COPA Report through Revenue Condition Types and VPRS Condition Type from SD 

6) Production Variances GL accounts were assigned in OKB9 settings. 

The issue is that when I settle the Process Order ,the variance values are NOT BEING FLOWN to COPA Report Variance category wise.

Can anybody throw some light on this. Am I missed any configuration?.

We are about to Go -live in another 2 weeks .

Regards

Subram

Hi

1. The Variance accounts should not be defined as a cost element, which means OKB9 that you did is a mistake

2. Switch ON the "variances to costing based COPA" in your settlement profile

This is how variances flow to COPA category wise

Dear Mr.Ajay,

I have already switch on  (Check Box) variances to costing based COPA" in your settlement profile.

As you said I have created Cost Elements for Production Variance GL accounts and assigning the same in OKB9 is a mistake.

I shall create new GL accounts for variance w/o cost element and will try.

Thanks for your immediate response.

Dear Mr.Ajay,

I have tried with new GL Account of Variance w/o creation of cost element,

Still the variances are not flowing to COPA category wise.

Any other thing missed out?

Hi

1. you must execute KKS1 without test run indicator

2. Variances to costing based COPA must be switched ON in your settlement profile

3. Settlment profile must have PA trf structure

4. Variance GL (OBYC: PRD-PRF) must not be Cost ele

With these settings in place, it WILL flow into COPA

Check KE24 with rec type C if the postings are made or not.. You can see the docs generated from the settlement log itself

Dear Ajay,

I have checked thoroughly the configuration and as mentioned in your response, all the 4 points were configured perfectly.

But when I settle the order in KO88,only Accounting and Controlling docs were generated and there is no COPA document.

I am not understanding ,where I went wrong.

Thanks and regards

Hi

Controlling doc is generated for which GL account? It should be only the COGM account in CO doc and not variance account

Apart from the steps above, i dont know any other step

br, Ajay M

Dear Ajay,

CO Document contains the COGM Account only.

Following accounting document is posted:

Production Variance Dr 11228

      to COGM Account Cr 11783

and CO Document is Single Line Item 

       Order is credited with COGM Account  ........11783.

And also would like to inform you that I have done any configuration in the Valuation Strategy in COPA as the COGM Value is flowing to COPA through VPRS Condition type in S & D

Please help out as we have UAT tomorrow.

Dear Ajay,

The issue is resolved as in the production order types standard settlement profile as assigned instead of new one ,which I have created for the customer.
