In the PA transfer structure, you determine which cost element groups are assigned to which value fields in Profitability Analysis (CO-PA). You make these assignments within so-called "assignment lines".

Settlement lets you transfer costs, revenues, sales deductions and production variances to costing-based Profitability Analysis. The PA transfer structure defines which quantities or values of a sender are to be transferred to which value fields in CO-PA as part of settlement.
For example, in the case of a marketing order, you can assign the cost element group "Personnel costs" to value field VTRGK (= Sales overhead).

Assigning to Value Fields

You assign value fields in a PA transfer structure in the individual assignment lines. Values and quantities must be transferred to different value fields. Values can be assigned separately according to the fixed and variable portions (fixed/variable indicator "1" and "2", respectively) or in total (fixed/variable indicator "3").

You can assign the fixed and variable costs that are incurred by a cost element group to different value fields.

Uniqueness and completeness of assignment

For settlement to Profitability Analysis to proceed smoothly, the assignments you enter must be unique and complete:

A cost element group or cost element group/variance category combination can be assigned only once to a PA transfer structure and will thus only appear once in the structure. You may not assign a cost element group or cost element group variance category to more than one field in the operating concern. However, you can assign the fixed and variable costs which have been incurred under one cost element group to different value fields. (The following example is for PA transfer structure "OH" (Overhead).

Assignment line        Origin    Group    Value field

10 Personnel costs        COSTELEM    BAB-PERS    VTRPS

20 Material costs        COSTELEM    BAB-MATE    VTRGK

30 Other costs        COSTELEM    BAB-SONST    VTRGK

The PA transfer structure must be complete, meaning it must contain all cost elements under which revenues and costs have been incurred.

Settling of senders with revenues

When you settle senders with revenues, you can settle the following to profitability segments:

  • Costs

    You can settle costs that have been incurred by primary and secondary cost elements.

  • Revenues, Sales deductions

    You settle the revenues and sales deductions that have been incurred.

  • Results analysis data

    You settle the results analysis data that has been calculated under the results analysis cost elements (cost of sales, reserves for imminent losses).

Assignment of actual costs, actual revenues, and actual sales deductions to the value fields in CO-PA is made via the cost elements or revenue elements that were originally posted to the sender.

You use the results analysis cost elements to assign the results analysis data. This data is recorded in the order or project via these cost elements:

Example: PA transfer structure "CD" (Cardinality)

Assignment line        Origin    Group        Value field

10 Personnel costs        COSTELEM    BAB-KDUPE        FERTF

20 Material costs        COSTELEM    BAB-KDUMA        ROHST

30 Other costs        COSTELEM    BAB-KDUSO        SONST

40 Revenues        COSTELEM    BAB-ERLO        ERLOS

50 Discounts        COSTELEM    BAB-ERLS        RABAT

60 IL reserves        COSTELEM    BAB-RUEDV        RUEDV

Settlement of Production Orders (CO,PP)

You can settle the variances that have occurred for a cost element or cost element group (differences between planned costs and actual costs) to CO-PA separately. To do this, you need to specify a variance category for the cost element or cost element group (see cost element group BAB-ROH in the example below). If you do not specify a variance category, all the variances occurring under the cost element/cost element group are settled to the value field assigned to the cost element group (in the example, cost element group BAB-HILF).

The system distinguishes between the following variance categories:

Note that, in particular, the settlement of Production variances provides you with useful analysis possibilities in CO-PA.

Example: PA settlement structure "PO" (Production Order)

Assignment line        Origin    Group        Value field

Requirements

  • First create the operating concern to which you want to settle, and then create its value fields.
  • Either the revenue elements or cost elements you want to use must be combined in cost element groups or you have already used the Cost Center Accounting IMG activity Create Cost Element Groups.

Activities

  1. Use New entries to enter a short ID and a name for your PA transfer structure, then save your entries and goto the overview screen for the PA transfer structure.
  2. Use Detail to create assignment lines.
  3. Use New entries to create one or more assignment lines.

    If you want to copy the invoiced quantity when settling from customer orders or projects, set the indicator "Invoiced quantity".

    Save your entries and go to the overview screen for changing the assignment lines.

  4. Use Assign origin to create a cost element group for your operating concern or New entries for the assignment line under which the costs or revenues can be posted to the sender (if necessary, with a variance category).

    To do this, you can

    • Use the F4 key, as origin "COST ELEMENT" or "VARIANCE CATEGORY" or
    • Under "Setname" select an existing cost element group or variance category.
      • Choose a cost element group defined in the chart of accounts and which is assigned to the controlling area for the sender object.
      For each assignment line in a cost element group you can assign only one variance category.

      Save your entries and goto the overview screen for changing the PA transfer structure.

  5. Define the value field assignment you want to use when settling orders and projects in the operating concern.

    Assign the value fields.

Further notes

For more information on determining variances, refer to the "Cost Object Accounting" documentation and the IMG under "Product Cost Accounting".
