Results Analysis with loss ("03" Cost-Based POC Method) EC&O

[Former Member]

Hi, Fellows.

We have a case for SAP EC&O (CO-PS) about Results Analysis with loss ("03" Cost-Based POC Method): Where has settled for 6 periods a project which since the fourth has generated lost. By the close of the project (period 6) full settlement was executed and the result was loss accounts in accounting balancee, instead  to the income statement.

The question is: Why not SAP system transfer the loss to accounting income statements?

At present we run the follow procedure:

1.- Cost Analysis (S_ALR_87013550 - Cargo en mon.objeto/ámbito consolid)

2.- Applied Overhead  (CJ44 - Individual Processing, Actual)

3.- Results Analysis Proceed (KKA2 - Individual Processing)

4.- Settlement Project (CJ88 - Individual Processing)

Attachment results analysis (POC) has been performed.

Look at your RA configuration (details under OKG3) and how it relates to the system statuses, REL, FNBL, TECO.  Standard (non-expert) RA config only cancels the balance sheet postings on TECO.

Hi,Ken

I had validated configuration RA (OKG3) and in fact we had the standard (non-expert) active. I activated expert mode and run tests to full settlement with statusTechnically completed (TECO) and the result was loss accounts in accounting swing, Instead to the income statement.

Hello, experts.

For Results Analysis with loss ("03" Cost-Based POC Method) EC&O is mandatory activated CO-PA?

Hi Alicia,

The answer is no.  RA setup is independent from the CO-PA setup, but they can work together.

As a general rule 1 thread = 1 question, so it was better to keep it separate also for someone who will run search later.

Hello Alicia,

It is not SAP system that decides on the posting rules.  Posting rules are setup by consultants that probably know what they do, based on business requirements.

Result Analysis can post both BS and P&L accounts, so that depends exclusively on system configuration.  Not every P&L account needs to have a cost element, and that is a common mistake when it comes to RA postings into FI-GL.

Sorry, but I refuse to look into the figures.

Regards,

Paulo
