20 FICO Tips – Series 2

• Validations and Substitutions in FI are triggered when the Posting happens in FI

• But the Validations and Substitutions in CO are triggered,say, whenever the Cost Object is determined. For Example – In FI postings and to validate / substitute a Cost Center during Purchase Requisition or Purchase Order

• Table T100C stores this information

• Field Statuses are possible not only for GL Accounts and Posting Keys, but also the Movement Types

• Program RM07CUFA can be used to analyze / change the Field Status for Movement Type

• A field [Cost Center or Order] can be mandatory in MM and Optional in FI, but not the other way round

• Retrieve “Object Number” against the Order from Table AUFK. Read the Status from Table JEST, against the Object Number

• FM BAPI_PRODORD_GET_DETAIL can be used during reports to get the same information

• 12: Credit in FI = Minus in COPA

             Debit in FI = +ve in COPA

          ——————————————–

• 11:  Credit in FI = +ve in COPA

              Debit in FI = Minus in COPA

          ———————————————

• 01: Credit in FI = Minus in COPA

             Debit in FI = +ve in COPA

• Simply speaking, expenses are debited and revenues are credited in Accounting. So, if the posting corresponds to this, it receives +ve sign in COPA. Else, COPA gets -ve Sign

• Once the GL is created as Cost Element, run OKBA to push the posting into CO

• This may require a default account assignment object (OKB9 or KA02) for the posting to be pushed into CO. Once inside CO, a KB11N can be done to transfer the posting to intended cost objects

• If the Posting is to be pushed into COPA, KE4SFI / KE4S can be used

• Write Custom Code in FM J_1I7_USEREXIT_EXCISE_BEF_SAVE

• TCode SCMP does that in a flash. (Comes really handy when you have to validate Production Client after your transports are moved before Go Live)

• It is triggered when ABCOPA is active

• It is triggered in MTO, when the Account Assignment Category has “Consumption Posting” <> Blank (Eg – Sales Order is a Cost Object)

• The possible transactions against each Object Type are controlled in BS12

• Object ORH (PP/PM Order) does not have Business Functions RKIU, RKIV allowed in it

• Standard SAP: Not Possible

• Workaround: Use COPA Costing Sheet (Very Complex)

• Enhancement: Exit COPA0005 (Viable)

• Note 95080 offers a solution

• The Tables that store the cycle details are

           T811C – Cycles

           T811S – Segements + allocation type

           T811K – Senders and receivers

           T811F – Factors

• Table T811D stores the documents posted during allocation

• Program RPCA_DEL_DOC / RPCA_DEL_REFDOC  (delete using Reference doc)

• Yes, Note 605281 offers a solution

• Check using SE38 – RKCORRH1 and

• Correct using SE 38 – K_REMOVE_DOUBLES_FROM_STD_HIER
  • Refer Note 545453 if your system is below ECC 5.0

• Local Variables don’t offer multiple selection option

• Use Global Variable (KE3E)

• Object COPA_IST in SNUM does not have the “To Year” Flag turned ON

• Use Exit LMR1M002 to code a custom logic

• Authorization Objects can be defined from KE37 (Summary Reports) and KE97 (Line Item Reports)
