CO-PA: Result analysis process

[Former Member]

Hi COPA Guru,

1) Will Result analysis post WIP for FI posting or it only calculate the figure?

2) Is it Result analysis always necessary before settlement?

Thanks,

Kick

Hi,

At period-end, you can calculate WIP using Individual or Collective settlement.

The following activities relating to WIP nneds to be done at period-end:

1) Allocation of Overheads to Production/Process Orders at planned rates

2) Actual Price calculation (T-Code - KSII)

3) Revaluation of Production/Process Orders (T-Code -CON2)

4) Change Cut-off period for WIP (KKA0)

This is required to prevent the system overwriting the WIP calculations already posted till the previous period.

5) WIP Calculation (KKAX/KKAO)

This only calculates the WIP but does not post to FI.

The system calculates WIP based on the status of the Production/Process Orders. WIP is calculated on all Prod/Process Orders which do not have status DLV (Delivered) or TECO(Technically complete)

6) Variance calculation (KKS1/KKS2)

The system calculates Variances based on the status of the Production/Process Orders. Variances are calculated on all Prod/Process Orders which have status DLV (Delivered) or TECO(Technically complete)

7) Settlement of Production/Process orders (CO88/KO88)

The system posts the WIP & the Variances calculated in 5 & 6 above.

Once the status of the Orders change to DLV or TECO, system will reverse the WIP postings made in previous periods.

To answer your specific questions:

Result Analysis is the WIP calculation (KKAX/KKAO), which only calculates the WIP but does not post to FI.

Result analysis is always necessary before settlement.

Assign points if useful.

Hi

Depending on your processes these steps are not required:

2) Actual Price calculation (T-Code - KSII)

3) Revaluation of Production/Process Orders (T-Code -CON2)

Results analysis is not required if the order is settling up to another order, for example a service order settling to a sales contract does not require RA. Settlement of the contract will require RA, but not the service order.
