COSS table not getting updated with value type = 04 (actual) for Process orders

[rohan_somji]

Hi,

      Can anybody pls confirm my below conditions,

I have done a testing in

quality server for two cases,

1) Created a Process order with one resource. Maintained activity rates

in T code KP26 for the resource cost center. Did the posting.

everything was ok. COSS table got updated with value type 01 & 04.

2) created another process order with one resource. Now in KP26 I did

not maintain activity rates for resource cost center for the current

month. During posting I got a information message where it clearly said

Activity rate for Cost center ******** for activity type **** is not

mainatined. But since in OPK4N in second tab (Individual Entry General)

there is a field called Termination for incorrect actula costs which is

not active. Hence while posting I could still bypass the message &

confirm the posting. But in this case what I could see was COSS table

did not get updated with value type 04.

So could anyone let me know if I'm right at my point that If in T

code KP26 rates are not maintained & by force if Process order is

posted then COSS table never gets updated with value type 04. Or there

may be anyother reason. But honestly I dont see any other reason right

now apart from T code KP26.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Rohan

COSS tabe is updated with actual cost with type 04, so if there is an error ans as u mentioned u r not terminating the transaction for error then it has to sit in reprossing. Similar to COGi there is transaction to reprocess actual cost errors during confirmation its tcode is COFC. Just maintain the values in KP26, reprocess the records in COFC and check coss table it will be updated.

Hi,

     One more thing what if COSS table is not updated & in T code COFC the process order says "No error record was found for selection" then what m I suppose to conclude. Also what can be the solution. I also See KP26 rates are updated.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi

If there is no actual cost then it wont get to COFC or COSS table, only thing i can think off would cause this is wrong masterdata, or some problem in your costing variant for actual costing.

If you have come across such situation analyse it with your co consultant to find out why thre was no actual cost calculated.

Dear Rohan Somji,

If I remember correctly,your understanding regarding the table update in COSS for the activity cost

update is correct.I dont think there can be other reasons,but to confirm the same you can discuss with

the CO Module member.
