CCA month end steps

[Former Member]

What is the month end step sequence for cost centers?

Say, at the end of the month I only have primary costs posted and direct activity allocations (from Production Order confirmations) for direct cost centers.

I now want to run T=A for indirect cost centers and I want to calculate target costs and variances.

What is the correct sequence and best transactions to use?

Thank you

Dear JanvdM,

Thank you for utilizing the SDN Forums,

Please see the following that may help clarify all the steps for month end in CO:

Month end closing Activities in Controlling(CO)

1. Calculate Overheads on all process Orders (CO43)

2. Technically complete all process orders which are fully processed (CORM).

3. Calculate Variance (KKS1) (Relevant only if Standard cost is calculated).

4. Settle all process orders which are technically complete (CO88).

5. Close All settled Process Orders

6. Close FI Posting period after the month end closing activity is over (T.Code:OB52)

7. Calculate production work in progress on process orders which are not technically complete. (CO88).

8. Carry out Assessment cycle for Cost Centers.(T.Code: KSUB)

9. Carry Forward Balances to next year

(With TC: F.16 we can carry forward the balance to next year.

With TC: OBH2 copy the number ranges to next year

Hi,

Assessment cycle varies from company to company as per requirement.

The steps explained by Brendon is ok.

However KSUB is for plan assessment cycle. KSU5 is for Actual assessment cycle.

These are generally carried out initially for allocation of overhead or other primary cost for calculation of Activity rate on production cost centers as required.

Check out the scenario in your organisaton.

Thanks,

But I am more interested in the T=A transaction (KNMA)

I am getting the error "No Target-to-Actual activity types are provided for"

This error is wrong as I do have my activity types as category 5 defined. So what can be wrong?

Should I redo the planning as I have changed the category to 5 after initial planning was done?

Thank you

No joy yet, is there anybody that can help me out here?

I have read the SAP documentation and it states that the Activity type category can be changed even after planning has been done.

But I just cannot get T=A to work, It works fine if I test it with a new activity type. So it seems to me that the statement above is wrong.

What do you say?

Thanks

Jan

PS. I am not in the mood to redo all the planning. How can I fix this for next month end?

PLEASE

How do I get T=A activity allocations to work? (KNMA). My activity categories are "5", but I keep on getting the error that the category is wrong.

Thank you
