SAP Note 20254 - INFO: Values from SD not transferred to CO-PA .

Symptom

During the transfer of billing documents from Sales and Distribution (SD) to Profitability Analysis (CO-PA), some condition values or entire billing documents are not transferred.

Cause and prerequisites

Incorrect or missing settings in Customizing.

Solution

For repetitive manufacturing, billing data should always be transferred from SD to CO-PA at the same time as it is released for accounting.

For transferring conditions into CO-PA, the following applies:

Those conditions can be transferred to CO-PA that have been assigned to a CO-PA value field in the value field assignment in the configuration menu for the Profitability Analysis.

Regardless of this value field assignment, you also must observe the following restriction:

Only certain conditions created in SD can be transferred to CO-PA. The following conditions are sufficient:

a) revenues and sales deductions whose G/L account was created in CO with cost element type 11 = "Revenue element" or 12 = "Sales deduction" (such as revenues or discounts),

b) conditions that are defined as statistical in SD (such as the internal allocation price).

c) If a condition can be statistical or non-statistical (this is the case, for example, for conditions for rebates or invoice lists), the cost element defined for the G/L account must be of type '11' or '12'.

d) Tax conditions are not posted in CO-PA.

e) Active conditions (inactive conditions are not transferred. If all the conditions in an item are inactive, the order item is not transferred to CO-PA).

f) Conditions for special valuation methods (for example in Release 4.0 condition category 'b' = 'Transfer price for group valuation for reporting purposes' or 'c' = 'Transfer price for profit centers'), that update a different currency type than the document or company code currency are not transferred!

For make-to-order production, data must be transferred via order settlement.
