change in item category and settlement of old sales order not possible

[Former Member]

Hi

I have to settle sales orders in VA88 and transfer data to COPA. I want to do directly without result analysis. So, in the item category, I removed the result analysis key. And the settlement goes thru.

My issue is that there are orders in July 2010 which have to be settled, but it does not work since the changes in item category has happened this month in Aug 2010 and the July sales order are also invoiced.

Pl suggest a solution to settle the July sales order to COPA.

Thanks

Hi

I am not so sure, but there is RA key in the sales order also apart from the item category

I think requirement class also has a RA key in it...

Did you try to remove it from sales order and req class, if applicable

Hi

There is no RA field in the sales order. As I said, I have removed the key from the requirement class.

Hi Ajay

Its an old issue. , but not yet cleared.

Now as you said , I also deleted the RA key from sales order.

I have created a new allocation structure,but in VA88 the settlement does not work. I get error message ' receiver cost element not defined and thet cat. PSG not defined.'

But the same allocation structure work good for new sales order.

Pl advise.

thanks

Hi

Go to settlement rule of the sale order.. Click on Go to menu > Settlement Parameters... There, I think, still the Old allocation structure would be there, unless you have changed it..

Hi

I know about the GOTO -settlment paramter . Here when I give the new correct allotation structure, I get the error. But for new sales order, it works fine.

So what could be stopping it to work for old sales orders

thanks

Hi Kamala

I see only one possibility... The old sales order consists of some GL accounts posted in it which is not mapped in the allocation structure...

Alloc Str has 2 parts - i.e. One, it consists of a group of cost elements it has to handle and Two, it consists of the valid settlement receivers like PSG, CTR, etc

You say, this alloc str works well with new sales orders.... The 2nd part of alloc structure (i.e. valid receivers) applies equally to all sales orders.. But what can really differentiate the 2 sales orders is the cost elements posted on it...

I dont foresee any other posslbe reason
