Variance value flow to COPA Jul 5, 2012 11:44 AM
Dear Experts,
currently we're implementing COPA.
Presently variance was settled to GL.
I need to post variance value to COPA.
What are the modifications I have to do in Allocation structure, PA transfer Structure and Settlement Rule?
Kindly help me....

Hi balaji
if you want to production variance to copa you need to tick in production order settlement profile i e variance
flow to copa and you need to maintaing the PA transfer structr

[1] In OKTZ you have your cost components.
[2] In KEA6 you have to create your value fields for capturing cost component figures. You can have 1:1 or 1:N
(value field : cost component).
[3] Then go to KE4U and create a valuation strategy. Check Mat. cstg. Field.
[4] In KE40 make your settings for your costing key. It will determine how you capture your COGS.

[5] Then in KE4J its better to assign your material types (SFG and FG) to recording type at least
C and F.
[6] Then in KE4R you map your value field to cost components. You have to do it at least with the Point of
Valuation = 01.
[7] Now we can go to variances. But before this, you to decide how do you want to see you
variances: by cost components or by variance categories. Ultimately you can have by cost
elements if you want. But dont do it. Or, you can have your variances by system categories. They are as
follows:
[8] Once you decided what variance categories you want to have, go again to KEA6 and create you value field
for them.
[9] KEI1. Create your PA transfer structure, create your assignments. One per variance category. If you want
to have your variances by a group of cost elements (which are sitting in cost components for example, look up
OKTZ) then you have to check the Costs/Revenue radio button:

2
If you want to use systems categories, you have to check the Variance on production
orders radio button and pick up variance category, like this:

3
[10] If you want to send your production quantity when settle the order, in KEA6 create a quantity field. In KEI1
create another assignment for this and check the Qty billed/delivered button:
[11] Once you completed your PA transfer structure, go to OKO7 and enter your structure for respective
settlement profiles.
I think thats it in a nutshell. Did I forget something?
Cheers

Hi Joe,
Heartly thanks for you input.
Should I need to include Prd Ord Var Cost Element in OKTZ?

No, you leave it as it is. Variance is not a cost component. It's variance.
Besides, if it were not required till now, why whould be from now?

Dear Joe,
Thanks for your reply.....
Can you please clear me on below points....
1. Basically We'lll do the Valution Strategy setting, to flow the Cost Components values to COPA.
2. But in my situation Variance is not included in cost component, then where is the purpose of making the
settings in Valution Strategy for Variance flow to COPA.
Please clear me...

Thanks in advance...

" then where is the purpose of making the settings in Valution Strategy for Variance flow to COPA"
I just wanted to show the whole process of COPA product costing to get you the big picture. Surely there are
many other aspects, but this flow I hope helps to get a grip on the topic.
Obviously, valuation strategy is necessary for costing, But this is a step in the whole process.

You have give very good example..But one question. in this.. Can we get the the COGM break up during Order
Settlement-KO88 As far as PA transfer structure is concerned the system display the Variance. but How the
value will flow in the Raw Material Value filed to get the break of standard cost in COPA for record type "C"

"How the value will flow in the Raw Material Value filed to get the break of standard cost in COPA for record
type "C""
Well, I guess you will have a cost component (or more) for raw material(s).
"Can we get the the COGM break up during Order Settlement-KO88 As far as PA transfer structure is
concerned"
In standard only in COPA. Settlement in CO and FI happens in one line/account (GBB/AUA on the order and
PRD in the GL).

Dear Joe and Jannet,

Thanks for your updates,

I made the all setting related to Valuation Stategy also, Even though variance has been settled to GL a/c. It is
not flow to COPA.
see the below settings I made

Did you assign a value field(s) for variance category(ies)?

Yes... Joe,
I had maintained VF assignement for Variance Cat.

I'm not sure what happened.
I assume you carried out the variance calculation (KKS2). If not, reverse the settlement, do the KKS2 and then
KO88.
But first, let's go to KO88, enter your order number and let's see the previous settlement:
And you wanna say that you can see only one line for your order? With MAT, and there is no line item with
PSG?

Dear Joe,
Really thankfull for your valuable support.
My problem was solved and analyzed with following steps.
Actually system was deactivating Operating concern automatically even though I activated.
basis guy did some changes...
then my operating concern was activated successfully.
Now I am getting Varaince value flow to COPA perfectly...
And more over how can I close this ticket and assigning points to you? Because I am not able to see the
options like helped, answered e.t.c.
Again and again thanks for your support....

I didn't mention this part since it's a general stuff, not only variance related. Every time you dig in the operating
concern then you have to regenerate, and if you send changes to other systems it should be regenerated on
the target systems as well.
Regarding of ticket closing - there must be some icons or buttons on the left or on the right side or wherever, I
can't remember. I can't see any because this is your ticket.
But anyway, I'm glad the juice started to flow into COPA.
Cheers
