SAP Note 21649 - Comparison Totals records <-> Line items in CO

Symptom:

Description:
The period values of the totals tables COSP, COSS, COSR, COSL do not correspond to the totals of the corresponding line items COEP, COOI, COEPR, COEPL.

Reason and Prerequisites

Unknown

Solution

Report RKACOR04, which finds and corrects the incorrect totals records, is available in R/3. After the local currency changeover you may only use the report with restrictions (see below).
On the selection screen, specify at least the object number of the account assignment object, as well as the controlling area when you are processing actual costs.
When you start the report, set the "Update" parameter to decide whether you just want a list of the inconsistent objects or whether you also want to correct them in the database. With large data volumes to be processed (= to be checked), i.e. few selection restrictions, SAP recommends you to only run the report in the background.
CAUTION: Before using this program make sure that you are using the following version, possibly enhanced by further modifications from other notes. The version given in THIS note (for Releases 3.1I and higher) was created on 01/31/2003.

Documentation on report RKACOR04
=================================

This report performs a comparison between the CO totals files COSP, COSS, COSR, and COSL and the line item files COEP, COOI, COEPR, and COEPL. Actual costs (value categories 04 and 11), commitments (value categories 21, 22, 24, 26, 2A, and 2B), parked documents (value category 60) and statistical key figures are taken into account. All totals records are listed in which a difference between the totals record and the total of corresponding line items for a period is found. If the report is started with update, the incorrect totals records are also corrected.
However, actual totals values from a period for which no line items do exist any longer are not changed, since the line items may already have been reorganized (see below: 'Information column')
If no totals values are available they are created from line items.
The program is object-oriented. The valid objects (in accordance with the selection criteria) are first determined from ONR00, and the comparison is then performed for each object individually. Therefore, you should, to the extent possible, limit the object numbers to those that actually have costs and that you suspect to be incorrect. You can take the object number from the list header when you execute the technical check report RKACSHOW (see Note 28145).
If table ONR00 is inconsistent and does not contain all the object numbers, you will first have to run report RBONRRP1 to restore consistency.

Information column
Here, additional information is issued for the data record. Currently, two cases have been implemented.
Q - A difference of the quantity value exists. Since these are not
issued, however, this is the only error message for otherwise
correct data.
A - No line items have been found for this totals value. Since this can
be due to a reorganization, the data is not changed
(see above).

Restriction of usability
--------------------------------
You must not use RKAKOR04 after the local currency changeover for orders/projects and similar for periods which were settled BEFORE the local currency changeover. If the program is executed for actual data, it checks whether a Euro conversion has been carried out after the first period specified on the selection screen and in this case issues a respective error message.

An unrestricted usage is provided for all periods which have been settled after the local currency changeover and for all CO objects, which ar not settled, also for periods before the local currency changeover.

For commitments, RKACOR04 can also be used after a conversion to euro.

Attention!
Report RKACOR04 must by no means be started for periods which contain migrated data or which are before the migration from R/2 to R/3.

Prerequisites
-------------
You need an authorization for object S_ADMI_FCD, function code 'RSET', if you actually want to change data. If you do not have this authorization, you may look for inconsistent data and have them displayed. Without this authorization, the 'update' flag is not ready for entry.

Note
You can use report RKACOR04 for commitment data without any problems and without the mentioned restrictions. For actual data, use the report only in close cooperation with the SAP Hotline, or with an expert in CO data structures since problems may occur if you archived transaction data, for example.
