Difference of Actual Cost in KKA2 and Report S_ALR_87013531

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

Please tell me, is it possible that there is a difference of actual cost in Result Analysis KKA2 and Project Report S_ALR_87013531.

In few projects, system is showing different amounts in Actual Cost when i compare KKA2 and S_ALR_87013531.

Please tell me, what is the reason and how can i solve it.

Thank You

Hello,

Costs picked up in actual cost calculation during result analysis is based on the customizing settings of RA key and Line IDs. The difference in two reports could be due to

Change in any CE numbering- resulting in missing cost in RA line ids assignment

Try to find out for which CE, cost is not reported in KKA2.

Then check the CE assignment in OKG5.

Report S_ALR_87013531 is likely to be correct.

Thanks,

Hi Sourabh,

Thanks for your reply.

I checked the line ID's, cost element is assigned. But while doing GR, cost is booked in cost element of category '90' and system is showing that as actual cost in S_ALR_87013531, whereas, that cost is not shown in KKA2.

Please tell me is there any specific setting for cost elements of category '90', if we want to consider it in KKA2.

Thank You

Hi,

cost element catgory '90' is a Balance sheet account and does not post any actual cost when hit with the cost.

In proejcts all the actual costs are captured on the P/L accounts with cost element category "1"

So please correct the OKG5 entries.

Or try to post that material in the project stock Via Tcode. MIGO,

thanks!.

Hello,

CE cat 90 is only for statistical purpose- should not appear as actual cost. KKA2 will not consider it as actual cost- and rightly so.

As to why the other report is showing this as actual cost- we have to find an answer.

Following is given in SAP help:

"Cost elements of this category are generated automatically when you create cost elements in Controlling that have asset reconciliation accounts, that is, special balance sheet accounts, as corresponding general ledger accounts in Financial Accounting.

You cannot change this cost element category in CO master data maintenance.

FI does not require CO account assignments of category 90. However, if you do enter a CO account assignment, this is only updated statistically even for true CO objects.

Cost elements of category 90 enable you to control the costs of an order or project budget during the acquisition of fixed assets that can be directly capitalized. To achieve this you enter a capital investment order or work breakdown structure (WBS) element in the appropriate field in the asset master data. The Asset Management (AM) component ensures that when the asset is acquired, the order or WBS element is automatically entered in the document.

In Controlling, orders and WBS elements are debited statistically. This statistical debit is checked with the budget during availability control.

The R/3 System does not support other uses of category 90 cost elements at present. You cannot plan using these cost elements."

Please check with above in mind for further analysis.

KKA2 is correct in this case.

Thanks,

Hi Gurus,

While doing GR for project stock, Stock A/c gets debited and GR/IR gets credited.

System is taking this as actual cost in standard report for actual cost, whereas, system is not taking this in KKA2.

But when we do consumption of stock then system will take it in KKA2.

Please tell me how can we solve the issue.

Thank You

Hi,

check the assignment in OKG8 for various RA categories and company codes.

thanks..

Hello,

If stock account is getting debited during GR/IR, please issue the material to project. Then consumption account will be hit. And it will be considered in KKA2. I believe you are using valuated project stock.

Let me know for further queries.

Thanks,

Sourabh
