Wrong posting in COPA - Rectification

[Former Member]

Dear All,

I have assigned the tax condition type in COPA, and i have wrongly maintained the transfer control. (ie) in SD the condition type is maintained as negative only. Whereas in COPA i have maintained the condition type as +/-. Later we found and changed the transfer control.

Now when executing report KEAT i am getting delta variance between CO-PA/SD. The variance value is exactly the value stored in the condition type.

Kindly help and guide me in this regards

Hi

Yees, there are several transactions in EC-PCA for 'data take-on' after activating the module. Try the following path in the IMG:

IMG > Controlling > Profit Center Accounting > Tools > Prepare Production Startup > Data Transfer.

You will see the options for transferring of FI Docs.

For CO-PA, there is no option for the subsequent transfer of FI docs. There are however, a few tricks you may try out. Let me know if you need to also transfer FI to CO-PA.

Hi,

Should the reversal check box has to be marked to transfer the data from FI to PCA.

My requirement in COPA is as follows

Based on current requirement i have taken only the material group for COPA reporting. Later we may go for product hierarchy. In that case i want to update all the old record with respect to product hierarchy also. How the same can be done.

Please guide me in this regards

Hi Vasantha

Try transaction KE4S. Select the 'Reversal of Line Items' indicator. Be sure to read the documentation on this radio button first to see if this will have the desired effect:

If you select the option Reversal of line items, the system checks whether each selected billing document has already been transferred to Profitability Analysis.

All CO-PA line items belonging to billing documents that have already been transferred are reversed. All selected billing documents are then transferred to Profitability Analysis again.

You should select this option if you want to correct existing data records by reversing existing data and then reposting it. Note that, if you select this option, the system creates at least two new data records (reversal and reposting) for each data record you want to post! If you perform this function more than once, the system does not reverse reversal documents already created. This means that only the last data record to have been booked is reversed.

If you are sure that the data records you want to repost do not contain any existing data records, you should not use this option. In this way, no reversal is made and the transaction is executed more quickly.

See also the documentation for the following options:

Check for existing records
