Joint Venture Accounting (JVA) integration via CO-PA

[Former Member]

I'm about to setup SD functionality where IS-OIL Joint Venture Accounting (JVA) is already in place. I've been told SD can only be linked to JVA by using Profit Center Accounting (PCA) as cost object. However can we link SD to JVA via CO-PA as cost object? If yes how this can be done to derived the venture data from CO-PA to integrate with JVA.

Appreciate any help on this matter.

Cheers,

Yen..

Hello Yen,

I am not a JVA consultant, but here is the reply from my experianced colleagues.

SD integrates with JVA via the accounting interface (also called RW

interface), quite like MM. This means, each time an FI document is

posted by SD, the Joint Venture Integration manager (which is part

of the accounting interface, see table TRWPR) gets triggered and will

post a JVA document based on the FI document being posted.

Cost centers are usually not derived by the JVA integration manager

(except for some special MM cases). If you would like to populate the

FI document with a cost center, you can do this through a substitution.

What is derived in the JV integration, is the venture data that are

be derived from the profit center if the profit center is customized

accordingly.

To populate FI/CO document created by CO-PA:

(1) Customize the CO-PA derivation with transaction KEDR.

(2) Define a CO substitution that populates the CO object fields

according to your needs.
