In this activity, you can display the customizing settings for an operating concern. A number of functions let you analyze the various areas of Customizing:
- You can obtain an overview of the organizational structures for an operating concern.
- The functions Value field analysis, Overview of valuation, and Overview of derivation provide you with several options for detailed analysis.
- You can draw up a where-used list for the characteristics and value fields in an operating concern.
Overview of Organizational Structures
In the overview of the organizational structures for the operating concern, all assigned organizational units are listed and detailed information is displayed from the relevant master data.
Analysis Options
Value Field Analysis
The value field analysis function lets you analyze all the flows of actual data to Profitability Analysis. You can find inconsistencies by looking at individual value fields. The report shows you what value flows the value field is involved in and what condition types or cost elements it gets its values from. In all, you can analyze the following actual value flows:
Transfer of billing documents and incoming sales orders
By analyzing the interface with SD, you can answer the following questions:
- Which SD condition types are mapped to which value fields?
- In which pricing procedures are those condition types used?
- Should a condition type be transferred with its +/- sign?
- Is the condition type "statistical"?
- Is the condition type used for reserves?
- Which FI accounts are found by the account keys in the pricing procedure?
- Are these FI accounts defined as cost elements of the category "11" (sales revenues) or "12" (sales deductions) in CO?
Possible causes of errors that are referred to:
- For each G/L account found for the condition types, the system checks whether the corresponding CO cost element was defined for the category "11" or "12". If the cost element does not exist or was defined for a category other than "11" or "12", the "Type" field is displayed in red because that condition type cannot be transferred to CO-PA as it is currently defined.
- This analysis is only carried out for those condition types which are not defined as "statistical" in the pricing procedure. Statistical condition types are normally transferred to CO-PA once they are assigned to a value field. The only exception to this are condition types which are used for reserves. These lead to postings in FI, even if they are marked as statistical in the pricing procedure. Consequently, the system checks the cost element for these condition types, provided that a cost element was defined for the corresponding reserves account in FI. Reserves are normally regarded as irrelevant for CO and consequently are not defined as cost elements in CO. In that case, the value field analysis ignores the account key of the reserves account.
- If the current Customizing setting calls for a condition type to be transferred with its +/- sign, the system displays a warning, because this setting should only be made in rare instances (such as for bonus conditions).
Customizing:
It is not possible to simulate the complete logic for determining revenue accounts. The accounts shown in the overview are found using the account keys defined in the pricing procedures. These account keys are used as selection criteria to read the account determination tables. The system selects all the records in those tables that contain the account key. For the system to be able to find the relevant accounts, you first need to define the account determination tables that should be analyzed before running the analysis. To do so, choose "Settings -> Value field analysis -> Account determination tables". You can only use tables that have the field "KVSL" (account key) in their key.
- Direct postings from FI and MM
This option analyzes the customizing settings made in PA transfer structure FI and answers the following questions:
- Which cost elements or cost element groups are mapped to each value field?
- Are the fixed and variable costs split?
- Have CO cost elements been defined in PA transfer structure for the accounts found using automatic account determination?
Possible cause of errors that is referred to:
If both fixed and variable costs are transferred to the same value field in one assignment line, this is marked as a possible error. For the accounts found using automatic account determination, the system checks whether the corresponding CO cost element is contained in PA transfer structure FI.
- Order and project settlement
This option analyzes all the PA transfer structures except structures FI and CO, which are treated separately.
The data for order and project settlement is shown just like that for FI and MM direct postings, except that there is no information regarding automatic account determination.
Possible cause of errors:
If the "Transfer billed/delivered quantity" flag has been selected, there must be a quantity field defined for this assignment line, otherwise no quantity is transferred to CO-PA during settlement.
- Direct and indirect activity allocation
This option gives you information about PA transfer structure CO and displays the information like that for order and project settlement.
Cost center assessment and process assessment
The option Cost center assessment and process assessment answers the following questions:
- Which cycles and segments populate which value field?
- Which value fields do fixed and variable costs flow into?
- Is a value field assigned explicitly in the segment, or is a PA transfer structure used instead?
Note:
This overview only shows those assignments that are used for assessment. Assignments with a source "Variance category" or "accounting indicator" are not displayed.
- External data transfer
The option External data transfer answers the following questions:
- What data interfaces ("sender structures") contain a given value field?
- To which external field is the CO-PA value field assigned?
As well as providing an overview of what value flows each value field is involved in, the function "Value field view" also offers you the option of creating a where-used list for the assigned value fields.
Overview of Valuation
The overview of valuation shows you all the customizing settings for CO-PA valuation. You can use this function for the following record types:
- Billing documents (F)
- Incoming sales orders (A)
- Direct postings from FI and MM (B)
- Order and project settlement (C)
- User-defined record types
The analysis is possible for different actual and plan points of valuation.
Overview of Derivation
This option displays the following information:
- Characteristic Derivation
- Derivation of Planning Functions: Events
- Derivation of Planning Functions: Revaluation Keys
- Derivation of Planning Functions: Distribution Keys
- Derivation of Planning Functions: Forecast Profiles
- Account Determination for Transferring Plan data to Profit Center Accounting
- Template determination for Template Allocation.
Where-used list
This option provides you with an overview of the occurrences of a characteristic or a value field in CO-PA Customizing. It is possible to call up the overview for the current client or for all clients in the system. By double-clicking in the overview, you can access the corresponding maintenance transaction directly, where you can then delete a characteristic or value field, for example.
