Segments - Activity Post - Assets

[ArturoSenosain]

Hi Friends. Im facing a problem a little problem with Segments, wish you could guide me. Letme Explain.

We create CO Order to build an Asset. In this CO order we use Labor.

The accounts and CostElements are the following:

•75000: FI Account for labor

•A_Labor01: Secondary Cost Element - Activity Labor

•75001: Primary Cost Element type 22,  for Settle Labor

•16000: FI account for assets

The costing flow is the Following:

My process is ok in CostCenters, Profit Centers and the overall P&L of the company, but i have an issue at Segment Level when we try to make P&L, the key point is the following:

The debit to the CostCenter with account 7500 is in Segment X    +100

The credit of CO Order with account 75001 is in segment Y            -10 (Y derived from the ProfitCenter of the Order)

The +100 in segment X is not real because 10 was absorbed in the Asset, so indeed it must be 90.

Additional Information: I can post activities to the CO Order from different CostCenters assigned to different Segments, so my CO Orders never have the same Segment of at least 1 CostCenter.

+ What I can do?

+ Can I set the Settlement in order to consider the Partner Segment of the Activity Post.. i dont beleave that, but who knows?

Hi...

I think that you set account determination for the real-time integration

of Controlling (CO) with Financial Accounting (FI) related to assessment cycle

and order settlement.

Your business process create FI document as follow.

Original FI documents)

   DR) 75000 account – cost center profit center-X Segment-X   100$ / CR) AP 100$

Reconciliation FI document related to CO activity allocation)

   DR) account determination – co order profit center-Y Segment-Y 10$ /

  CR )account determination – cost center profit center-X Segment-X 10$

Order settle for asset

  DR ) Asset 10$ /  CR) 75001 account co order profit center-Y Segment-Y 10$

•Segment X’s P&L

   75000 account              100$

   accountdetermination     -10$

  ----------------------------------

  Balance                         90$

=>I want to know what problem you have through FI document.

Thanks.

Indeed i the problem was in the interface between the chair and the computer LOL. This is the 1st time I really need to create a P&L with segments .

BTW thanks Choi for your time explaining the flow.

Hi

.

To reflect 90 in segment x you need to activate real time fi co integration so that an fi posting will be triggered whenever the cost movement happens across segments

I don't think there is solution to your last statement
