| 1 | When should you use Validations / Substitutions in CO [OKC7 / OKC9]. How are they different than the one in FI? | - 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
|
| 2 | How to know what all system messages are modified by the Customer (OBA5, OBMSG, etc)? | - Table T100C stores this information
|
| 3 | How to define / modify the field status for a movement type? | - 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
|
| 4 | How to retrieve the Order [Internal / Production] Statuses in one go? | - 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
|
| 5 | How do the Cost Element Categories impact +/- signs in COPA? | - 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
|
| 6 | I forgot to create Cost Element for a GL Account. What are my Options now? | - 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
|
| 7 | Excise Invoice [CIN] can be created even though SD Invoice is not released to Accounting. How can I stop this? | - Write Custom Code in FM J_1I7_USEREXIT_EXCISE_BEF_SAVE
|
| 8 | I want to compare Table entries of 2 Clients (DEV and PRD) in a mass way and identify the differences instantly. How do I go? | - 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)
|
| 9 | When is the COGS account in GBB-VAY triggered? | - 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)
|
| 10 | Why can't I use Production Orders as Receivers in the Assessment / Distribution Cycles? | - 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
|
| 11 | I want to assign One Condition Type in SD to different Value Fields, depending on,say, Order Type, Bill Type, etc. What are my options? | - Standard SAP: Not Possible
- Workaround: Use COPA Costing Sheet (Very Complex)
- Enhancement: Exit COPA0005 (Viable)
|
| 12 | I have added Custom Fields in the Cost Center Master. But they are not available during Mass Maintenance | - Note 95080 offers a solution
|
| 13 | How do I view Assessment / Distribution Cycle Segments as a Snapshot? | - 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
|
| 14 | How do I delete a EC-PCA document | - Program RPCA_DEL_DOC / RPCA_DEL_REFDOC (delete using Reference doc)
|
| 15 | Is it possible to use Internal Orders as SENDERS in Assessment / Distribution Cycles? | - Yes, Note 605281 offers a solution
|
| 16 | How to Check and Remove duplicates / ambiguities in the CC Standard Hierarchy? | - 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
|
| 17 | I can't see the multiple selection option for Variables used in the COPA report | - Local Variables don't offer multiple selection option
- Use Global Variable (KE3E)
|
| 18 | Why are COPA number ranges not year dependent? | - Object COPA_IST in SNUM does not have the "To Year" Flag turned ON
|
| 19 | I want to trigger a different GR/IR account based on Vendor / Vendor Account Group, etc ? | - Use Exit LMR1M002 to code a custom logic
|
| 20 | Is additional authorization check for COPA reports possible? | - Authorization Objects can be defined from KE37 (Summary Reports) and KE97 (Line Item Reports)
|
