| Steps to activate Budget Check for assets (without IM) | - Activate order management in controlling area
- Activate commitment management in controlling area & Order type
- Enable Budgetary control in Internal Order
- Create statistical IO with “Object class - Investment”
- Assign the statistical IO in asset master in the "Origin" Tab - "Investment Order" Field
- Create asset recon account as statistical cost element (Category 90)
- The FSG of asset recon account must allow IO (OBC4)
- Activate the investment order as the additional account assignment object for asset acquisition (ACSET)
- Enter budget for the statistical internal order (KO22)

| 2 | Settle Production Variances by Cost Component Structure in COPA | - Create PA Transfer Structure with as many assignments as Cost Components in Cost Component Structure
- Choose the Option "Costs / Revenues" in each assignment, instead of "Variances"
- Assign each assignment to a different value field
Traditionally, variances are settled to COPA as per Variance Categories. But this is also an interesting way of doing the Variance Settlement |
| 3 | Track Origin line items of an AUC asset | - Activate "Settlement By Cost Element" in the Allocation Structure
- Assign the Allocation Structure to Settlement Profile of the Internal Order and the Co. Code
- Use Program RAHERK02 to see Origin line items
|
| 4 | Display Cost Center Accounting and Internal Order Accounting reports in Multiple Currencies | - Using RPC0 and RPO0 respectively, you can switch between Controlling Area currency and Object Currency (Co. Code Currency)
- These settings are per SAP User
|
| 5 | Down Payments in Asset Accounting | - To avoid capitalizing the asset at the time of Down Payment, modify the TTY 180 and remove the check "Capitalize FA".
- However, once the Asset GR is posted and Asset is capitalized, Depreciation will be calculated on Down Payment amount + Asset Value. This continues till the time Down Payment is cleared
- To avoid these issues, you can avoid updating Down payment in Asset Accounting as below
- Create a new FSG for Vendor recon accounts (OBC4) in which Asset is SUPPRESSED
- Modify Message F5 378 to W (OBA5)
|
| 6 | Smooth Calculation of Target Cost during Variance Calculation | |
| 7 | Vendor OI upload during Go Live, when vendor is liable to TDS | There are two ways of doing this - Create Vendor Masters, Load Open Items and then update WHT Codes in Vendor Masters (OR)
- Create a Posting Key (Copy of 31/21) and suppress the WHT in the new posting Key
|
| 8 | Profit Center in Special GL Postings | - If the Special GL indicator is defined as for "Down payments" Profit Center Field is naturally available on the screen
|
| 9 | Modify Vendor/Customer reconciliation account during postings | - FS00 - Check the field "recon acct. ready for input"
- Recon. Accounts can be manually changed during FB60/FB70
- Recon. Accounts can be changed during SD postings as well
- During MIRO, Standard SAP does not allow to change the same. Starting EhP6, a new business function can be activated to achieve this. Refer note 1836997. Else, Exit LMR1M001 can be used too. [Courtesy aleksey.tkachenko)

| 10 | Change Default Document Type in Clearing transactions | - T code OBXH: SPRO> FI > AR/AP > Busn Trans > OI Clearing > Define Posting keys
|
| 11 | Enhance the Open Item Selection Criteria during interest Calculation (FINT) | - Implement User Exit RFINTITUSEREXT
- Newly added selection fields will be visible under "Cust. Enhancement" Section of FINT screen
|
| 12 | Program to download SAP Forms / Scripts | |
| 13 | Program to download Custom Programs / Objects | - REPTRAN
- Improvised version of this program also available on Google
|
| 14 | Post Price Difference upon GR in Sub Contracting (When Material is valuated at 'S') | - This must be specifically activated under SPRO> MM> Inventory Mngt & Phys Inv > GR > Price Differences for Subcontract Orders at Goods Receipt
|
| 15 | Post separate doc for Purchase account postings (instead of 2 additional GL accounts in the same document) | - SPRO> MM> Valuation and Account Assignment >Account Determination > Account Determination Without Wizard > Purchase Account Management > Separate Accounting Document for Purchase Account Postings
|
| 16 | COPA Planning (KEPM) - Plan data for 12 periods at once | - In the planning package, enter start period as, say, 001.2009.
- In the planning layout, remove the char "PERIO", from general data selection.
- In the column for the Value field "Sales qty", include the char PERIO and enter variable as "1". This variable will be supplied with the value from Planing package.
- Copy the column and change the variable as 1+1, 1+2, etc
|
| 17 | Distribute Usage Variances during Repetitive Manufacturing Scenario (Where inputs are back-flushed at Std. Qty) | - Use CKMDUVMAT functionality of Material Ledger
- This works even without the activation of Material Ledger
|
| 18 | Target Cost Tables | - COSP: For External Postings (Target/Plan/Actual)
- COSS: For Internal Postings (Target/Plan/Actual)
- COSPD (Actual only): Settlement entries i.e. GR and GI upon confirmation, for Primary cost elements
- COSSD (Actual only): Settlment entries i.e. activity confirmation
|
| 19 | Find Variables used in Report Painter Forms | |
| 20 | Analyze Shop floor performance | - Use KKO0 reports (Product Drill Down Reports)
- OKN2 (Product Cost By Order Scenario)
- OKN4 (Product Cost By Period Scenario)
