COPA Assessment Cycles and FI Period closing.

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I have question related to the COPA Assessment cycles.

We have closed the FI Period 03 and running the COPA Assessment cycles. while running the same, for few of the assesment cycles are completed and for the rest of the few cycles it is error out stating the Period is closed.

Why it is running successfully for few cycles and why it is complaining for Period closing for the others. We are on ECC 6 Version of SAP.

Error out cycles contains Cost accounts and Asset Account GL Accoutns.

I have checked in OKP1 for the period 03 the transaction "Assessment to CO-PA" is unlocked.

I think, this will do for running the COPA Assessment cycles right?

Hi

yes this should do...

Just making a wild guess... Just check whether allocating across PC or business area is creating documents in FI.. Have you activated FI/CO reconciliation?

Hi Ajay,

We have activated the New GL and Document splitting is activated as well.

My question is why the Assesment cycles is error out only for few cycles.if the period is closed, then it should error out for rest of the assement cycles as well,but it is completed for rest fo the Assesstment cycles.

Hi:

If your CO allocation has some external postings (like GL or fixed assets) or generating some intercompany documents, then it needs FI to be open also. It happens sometimes if the allocation goes external so it would need fI period to be open also. If FI is close but CO is open, it would only work for CO specific allocations and others would error out.

Please check the cycle/segment which is in error. If it is suppose to hit FI, then FI (OB52) and CO (OKP1) periods should be in sync.

Thanks.
