Settlement rule and KE24 report

[paulina_przybylska]

Hi,

I would like to know where I can check the configuration for Projects settlements rule. Current we have situation that when we did settlement for WBS where is several Cost Gl in COPA is only one line .

So in CJI3 for one WBS I have several GL I creadted settlement rule and do settle. After that I go to KE24 and I have all amount in properly VV code but when I check type cost (still in KE24) there is only one - first GL from CJi3. Do you have any idea why?

Hi Paulina,

Look at the allocation structure that groups the sender cost elements with transaction OKO6 and then the link from them to CO-PA in the PA transfer structure with transaction KEI1.

Thakns a lot for your answer. Unfortunatelly is should be other reason, because in KEI3 I have all Cost element. I'm think that if for one WBS we have booked on 2 GL and do settlement , in COPA we will get costs on diffrent value fields but on only one (first) cost element, because all characteristics coming from settlement rule is exacly the same so COPA agregated it. Do you thing that it is possible?

Hi Paulina,

Project settlement is controlled as follows:

There is a settlement rule that determines the receiver of the costs (in your case the profitability segment in CO-PA).

The assignment of the cost lines on your project (sender) to the receiver (profitability segments in Profitability Analysis) is controlled by the settlement profile, which controls the allowed receivers and the link to the allocation structure (which groups all the costs on the sender prior to settlement) and the PA transfer structure (which controls how these groups are assigned to the value fields in Profitability Analysis).

It sounds like all the costs on the project are assigned to one group in the allocation structure. The credit to the project following settlement will be under one settlement cost element and the debit to Profitability Analysis under one value field.

If you want to make it finer, you would need to expand the number of cost element groups in the allocation structure and assign these to different value fields in Profitability Analysis.

Regards,

Janet
