Definition
If this field is selected, line items are posted during the the update of simulation documents to CO-PA
This field has only one significance for simulation types where the Fortschreibung ins CO-PA field is also selected. For a mass simulation with update to CO-PA, the quantities and revenues of the simulation documents are posted as sum items to CO-PA. You can decide whether the quantities and revenues should also be posted as line items:
- If you select the field, line items are posted. You can use the Line Item Display transaction to evaluate the line items in CO-PA.
- If you do not select the field, the line items are not posted. This improves performance of the mass simulation and reduces the memory requirement of CO-PA.
We recommend that you use the field as follows:
- Select the field for simulation types that you use for test runs for a low number of installations. You can use transaction Monitor for Mass Simulation to bill individual installations and check the associated results in CO-PA as line items. The comparison between the simulation document and the line items enables the update to CO-PA to check.
- Important: Do not select the field for simulation types that you use for the simulation of many installations. In doing so, you considerably reduce the runtime of mass simulation.
Background: In the Mass Billing of Simulation Indexes transaction, you can post the totals records and line items to CO-PA. The totals records can normally be summarized on a cross-document basis before the posting. This reduces the number of postings. Line items that belong to the different simulation documents are not summarized. On the one hand, this offers the above-mentioned comparison option between the simulation document and the line items. On the other hand, the high number of line items considerably increases the runtime and requires a lot of memory space.
If you do not post any line items, this can cause problems in reporting for the following (incorrect) procedure with the plan versions:
- You suppress the line items
- You incompletely execute the mass simulation
- You generate a summarization level for the incomplete data in the plan version
- You reexecute the mass simulation and write further data in the plan version
- You evaluate the plan version with a report
Result: The report recognizes that the summarization levels are outdated. It tries to compare the missing data by selecting line items. This is however not possible, because no line items were written. The result of the report is incomplete.
To avoid this error:
- Only ever create summarization levels if the mass simulation has been completed. If you update in the plan version retrospectively, you must recreate the summarization levels.
- Update the plan version with the simulation data together with the actual data in an additional totals version, and execute reports on the totals version.
