Wrong sign in COPA for rebate conditions

Former Member

Hi financial gurus,

i'm getting problems once trying to send in copa values related to Rebate conditions.

To be more exact i mapped the rebate condition type with a COPA value field and once issuing an invoice data are retrieved and sent to a COPA document: the problem is that the value is with sign minus and as far as i read from oss it's not correct. workaround directly in reporting is not possible since these value fileds are also feeded by excel file and copa condition records.

Could me help on that

Any useful help will be largely awarded

Regards

Carmine

In COPA tcode KE4I you can set how the condition posts to COPA as a plus or as a minus. You can change how it posts to COPA. Use - Transfer condition values with +/- signs to CO-PA.

pls assign points to say thanks.

The indicator has to have no check mark. That is what reverses the sign.

Hi,

In KE41, Uncheck the box 'Transfer +/-' for the Rebate condition types.

In SD rebates which are Sales dedductions are stored as -ve values and these are passed as -ve values into COPA, if the 'Transfer +/-' is checked, while if you uncheck the 'Transfer +/-' checkbox, these are passed as +ve values into COPA.

Below is a sunmmary of the value flow into COPA both with & without the +/- sign.

Billing document (normal) "With +/- sign" "Without +/- sign"

-


Debit posting negative positive

(sales deductions)

Credit posting positive positive

(sales revenues)

Credit memo/return "With +/- sign" "Without +/- sign"

-


Debit posting negative negative

(sales deductions)

Credit posting positive negative

(sales revenues)

Regards,

Guys

the box 'Transfer +/-' cannot be unchecked since otherwise i can post the invoice (please look at the oss note 670089)

I'm in a very bad situation since

-if i set the indicator i get wrong sign

-if i do not set the indicator i cannot post the invoice

-i cannot change the sign in reporting since the value field is also fed in some different manner (file,ke41 ecc..)

Any other input?

Thanks a lot for the support

Two other options. 1) If you have COPA in BW switch the sign there. 2) In user exit include ZXKKEU03 switch the sign as the data is posting.

thanks for the hint.

I got one more question: The value field that i'm feeding through to the mapping between condition type and value field is fed also by tcode KE41 (COPA condition type). The values coming from COPA conditions type are found with the right sign.

can i, in your opinion, distinguish the flow in the user exit and just convert the sign of values coming through the mapping condition type-copa?

Thanks and regards

This is standard SAP behaviour.

Any posting to COPA from SD follow the SD signs and not the FI signs. E.g. Revenues posted from SD will appear in COPA as + whereas in FI it is -.

This matter has to be addressed in your reporting. All posting from SD come with teh record type F. So for any posting with record type F you need to mulitply by -1 to arrive at the same values as FI.

The user exit can be used, but then this issue relates not only to rebates, but also to revenues and deductions posted from SD.

In the user exit it is for billing document postings and you wil be able to limit your selection to any type of the various billing transactions and types.
