Cost component split transfer for Profit center valuation in ke27

[Former Member]

Dear All,

We have activated multiple valuation/transfer prices. Material ledger is also activated.

We want to transfer cost component split to CO-PA by ke27.

We have defined separate costing keys for access to actual cost estimate for legal and profit center valuations.

But cost component split transfer to COPA works only for legal valution. Even we have defined type of valution for profit center costing key -transfer cost component split and total costs.

What should be else customized to transfer cost components splitting in profit center valuation to CO-PA from actual cost estimates?

With best regards,

Kamila.

Hi

KE27 is for revaluation of COGS based on actual CCS..

If you have transferred CCS for PC valuation at the time of billing (Based on std csts), later you can revaluate it using KE27...

The config required is in KE4U (Valuation strategy) for PV=02 and a costing keyto read the cost estimates and value field assignment in KE4R and Cositng key assignment in KE4J or KEPC

Hi Ajay,

Thanks for response.

Right now we do have valuation strategy for 02. But it works only for legal valuation.

Do we need to create separate valuation strategy for Profit center valuation?

In ke4j we are not able to define costing key for profit center valuation. System allows to define costing key only for legal valuation.

And in kepc we have already defined profit center valuation.

With best regards,

Kamila

Hi

Your config is pretty OK... PC Valuation or Legal valuation is controlled @ the level of Costing variant

Hence, you need to create 2 costing keys i.e. one for Legal val and one for PC Val

Assign your Costing key in KEPC for PC Valuation... Have you done the same design?

And moreover, i assume you have calculated actual CCS for PC valuation from ML run....

Hi,

We have created separate costing variants for legal and profit center valuations.

We have created separate costing keys as well.

But I haven't yet assigned costing keys in kepc.

Which exactly field (global - etc...) should be used for definition costing keys in kepc?

With best regards,

Kamila.

Hi

Use KALAW1/2/3 to assign your costing keys

Use method "Assignment" in KEPC

Source Fields

GLOBAL BWFKT

GLOBAL VRGAR

GLOBAL VERSI

GLOBAL ITEM_TYPE

Target Fields

GLOBAL KALAW1

Now click on maintain rule values and maintain your 2 Costing keys here... In Row 1, you choose Legal Valuation for ITEM_TYPE and in row 2, you choose PC Valuation

Hi,

I have defined costing keys in kepc.

But now when I perform ke27 I got following message:

No value field assignment exists for cost estimate "PC1"

Message no. K/818

Diagnosis

In Profitability Analysis (CO-PA), the system tried to use material cost estimates to valuate according to different valuation views. To be able to transfer the costing data found for material cost estimate 2 (costing key PC1) to CO-PA, you must assign the desired value fields to the value field column 2 for cost component structure S1 and point of valuation 02. You do this in Customizing for CO-PA.

System Response

No values can be transferred for the column 2 (costing key PC1).

Customizing is tr.code ke4r.

And there will be one question.

Should we define separate value fields for profit center valuation?

Because we have already assigned all cost elements to value fields.

And it works for legal valuation.

With best regards,

Kamila.

Hi

In KE4R, there are 6 columns.. For PV=02, you need to assign your VF here.. There is no option to assign VF for PC Valuation separately...

I think your costing key for PC val in 2nd in the sequence... Hence, you need to assign VF in the 2nd column as well in KE4R...

Its better you keep separate VF for PV=01 and PV=02... Separate VF not required for PC Valuation

Hi,

I have assigned the same value fields used for legal valuation to column 2, which was pointed in message.

But now I got following message in ke27:

For actual data, value fields that were already populated before CO-PA valuation cannot be changed in valuation.

1. As a rule, value fields that were filled before CO-PA valuation - be it from SD or by a manual entry of a line item - can only be changed by means of user exits.

(Note that for plan data, CO-PA valuation always has priority over the values planned manually.)

2. The valuation steps in a CO-PA valuation strategy are numbered sequentially. These numbers determine the order in which the steps are carried out within that strategy. As a rule, value fields populated in one step can be used as a basis for calculating values for other value fields in a subsequent step.

Value fields that were populated in a previous step are generally not overwritten by subsequent steps.

The exception to this are steps that use a CO-PA user exit. User exits let you change individual value fields.

3. If you valuate using multiple material cost estimates simultaneously, this means that the values of different cost components within the same cost estimate are aggregated and then entered in one CO-PA value field. However, value fields that already contain data from a previous cost estimate are not overwritten by a later cost estimate. Consequently, you should assign value fields in Customizing so that the values of different cost estimates are entered in different sets of value fields.

4. When condition values are transferred to CO-PA value fields, note that condition types that are assigned to the same value field are added together. This is also the case when the condition types come from different costing sheets within the valuation strategy.

So does it mean we should define separate value fields for PC valuation?

With best regards,

Kamila.

Hi

please try and see once

Hi,

I have defined other value fields for profit center valuation.

But ke27 didn't work out for PC valuation.

I have read this error description more carefully and now want to use user exit COPA002.

Is that right user exit for that purpose?

With best regards,

Kamila.

[Former Member]

We have used user exit COPA002 for revaluation CO-PA in Profit-Center valuation in ke27.
