FI - COPA Difference - Account based

[former_member182098]

Hi,

We are on Account based on COPA, during the year 2013 few documents are not posted to COPA, hence, there is a difference between FI and GL.

All these documents are posted in CO. These documents are simple FI journals and the relevant PSGs are entered.

As they are similar like any other documents, not sure why they are not updated in COPA.

Any guiding points to repost these documents to COPA would be appreciated.

Regards,

Ravi

Hi Ravi

When the answerer himself asks the question, who can answer

Not really sure why this should happen.. 2 guesses from my side

1. Try KE4SFI.. This is used to transfer FI docs to COPA... I have used this in CBC, not sure if it is meant for ABC..

This is used when say, GL was created as cost eleemnt later on

2. KB61 - Here you can just click on the PSG, make changes in it if needed and SAVE... This can also update the doc in COPA

Sometimes when COPA doc is not created, the cost object shows as REO (Reco Object) in CO doc... Not sure if the same is happening with your case

Hi Ajay,

It is reason you are inspirational to many (including me), because of your humbleness and willing to share

KE4SFI works only for CBC and not for ABC.

KB61 / KE26 works in the same manner. I just changed the PSG assignment to a new one.

Then it debited the old PSG, credited the new PSG - as per total it is still zero. Then it also brings up the old missing document. I think this change has made the trick. Though this is a work around, happy with this. Fortunately, our CO periods are not closed 🙂

Kind Regards,

Ravi

Hi Ravi,

I am afraid answering to you , as you are yourself a expert in this subject.

Please can you check the KEAI report.

Hi Ravi,

    In account based COPA there is no seperate COPA document created. The CO document with the account assignment to PSG is the COPA document.

   You can view the details in KE24 by giving the CO document number.

Thanks Waman. It seems it is bug still in 606 version. Luckily, hope the work around should help us.

Hi Ravi,

guess I have seen this a few months ago, check if thats the case with your "missing" documents.

As per my knowledge, the customer raised a SAPNET-message and the correction was to identify the wrong records and to update KNT_FRM_KZ but I am not totally sure about that.

Thanks Christian, we have raised OSS note, they have come up with the same solution that you mentioned in the link. However, I am reluctant to go into that, as COPA is backbone of our processes, could end up somewhere else 😞

What I did is I just reposted to a new PSG, then it brought back the old missed line item. Now we are happy that it brought back the missed item as well 🙂 We have very limited documents to correct.

Please let me know if you have any comments on my approach.

Kind Regards,

Hi Ravi,

if the reposting solves the issue and your number of "wrong" documents is limited, its good to hear that the workaround is feasible.

In the case I mentioned there were a few thousand doc's affected so reposting was no solution, apart from the thing that I didn't know that I can solve it with reposting 😉 => txs Ajay.

Have a nice weekend, Christian

Thanks Christian, I can understand it is a cumbersome task, may be you look into option of LSMW. Nice week end to you too 🙂

Best Regards,
