No G/L determination and Billing Plan problem

Hi Experts,

I had added a customised Sales Order Type and the assigned our customised Billing Plan Type to such Order Type and a standard Item Cate. - "TAO". For the Item Cate. - "TAO", I just changed the default Schedule line cate. from "CP" to "CD" and the "CP" was moved to manual selection. Then, found problems as below -

Q1) After creating Sales Order and clicking "SAVE", found the incomplete message "121 - No G/L account found in Account determination type KxxK". I had already setup Account Determination (COA + SOrg + AAG for Customer + AAG for Material + A/C Key) for another A/C determination type KxxI which was set requirement "3 (without CO acct. ass.)" under A/C determination procedure while the A/C determination type KxxK was set requirement "2 (with"CO acct. assignt)". Also, there was no related field / setting under the "Incomplete Procedure" for the Order Type, Item Cate. and Schedule line cate. Could you advise how to check and fix this problem ?

Q2) In the SO "Header - Billing Plan" tab, "Billing block" was defaulted under all 3 items of this tab. That means Billing should be blocked to create until releasing any of these 3 items under the "Billing Plan" tab of the SO. However, it was not worked and Billing could be created even if these 3 items was blocked in SO. Could you advise whether these was any missing in the setting and how to fix this problem ?

Many Thanks,

KH Fong

So might be my doubt of Requirement class is right here.

Also i forgot to tell you, have you checked the configurations in both the clients  in

IMG→SD→Basic functions→Account assignment/costing→Maintain requirement classes for costing/Account assignment

Now go to your requirement class and see the details .

Is there any setting differences in field sales order costing--in Requirements/assembly sub-tab.

Pl update...

It completely depends on your client.

whenever you create a sales document, requirements will get updated through requirement types.(whether it was a sales order requirements or delivery requirements or Individual requirements)

Pl update.

Dear Phanikumar / Experts,

As mentioned above, the "Requirement Type" of the relevant Item Cate. (e.g. TAO) was already blank in OVZH and no "Requirement Type" was copied to "Procurement" tab when creating SO. Will there be any impact on the subsequent processes, i.e. Billing & Accounting etc. ?

There is no Delivery Process as the SO with the Item Cate. is relevant to Billing Plan and the Billing is Order Related Billing (BIlling Plan).

Dear Experts,

Our two clients had just been checked by SAP OSS and they advised as below -

“……..the order is a cross company process due to the sales organization 3300 is assigned to company code HWYL while the plant 3200 is assigned to company code PHYP. In general the CO objects in a cross company process haven´t to be copied from the order items to the customer invoice items. The CO objects of a sales item belongs to the company code of the plant and they are moved to the internal invoice items.

Invoice 9500xxxx is the customer invoice. Therefore the CO object is cleared in program LV60AA28 when the customer invoice is created. So there isn´t a CO object transferred to accounting too and error message KI280 won´t occur.”

Described in details as below -

1) In our client 118 (without error msg "KI280" prompted when releasing Invoice) -

a) Billing Plan SO was created in which "Co. Code (HWYL) + SOrg. (3300)" are under the same Co. (i.e. HWYL) but the Co. (PHYP) of the Plant (3200) is different (i.e. PHYP);

b) The "Requirement Type" of the SO Item was "KE" and the A/C Determination Cond. Type of the SO was "KOFK (with CO object)";

c) When creating Invoice with ref. to the SO, the A/C Determination Cond. Type of the Invoice was then changed to "KOFI (without CO object)" as advised by them above;

d) Result - CO object was not required and the error msg "KI280" was not prompted when releasing the Invoice.

2) In our client 138 (with error msg "KI280" prompted when releasing Invoice) -

a) Billing Plan SO was created in which "Co. Code (PHYX) + SOrg. (8320) + Plant (8320" are under the same Co. (i.e. PHYX);

b) The "Requirement Type" of the SO Item was also "KE" and the A/C Determination Cond. Type of the SO was also "KOFK (with CO object)";

c) When creating Invoice with ref. to the SO, the A/C Determination Cond. Type of the Invoice was also to "KOFK (with CO object)";

d) Result - CO object was required with the error msg "KI280"  prompted when releasing the Invoice.

Q1) From the above, is it due to our customized settings, or it is original SAP standard functions / logic ?

Q2) Is the clearing program LV60AA28 a standard program and executed automatically when Customer Invoice is created ?

Q3) Actually should it be required by FI / CO users on whether the CO object is required for the GL a/c when releasing the Customer Invoice ?

Q4) Also, Are the A/C Determination Cond. Type "KOFK" & "KOFI" with their Requirement Routine "2 & 3" + Access Sequence "KOFI" & "KOFR" + Procedure "KOFI00" also belong to standard setting & built-in when installing SAP ?

Q5) For the A/C Determination Procedure "KOFI00" in which "KOFI" is counter 1 & "KOFK" is counter 2 (as below), does it mean that the "KOFK" will be searched & assigned to the doc. if the doc. has CO A/C Assignment, which is according to the "Requirement Type" with "Requirement Class" assigned to the doc. item (under OVZH & OVZG) ?

Any expert could help to advise my above questions ?

Being an old member of SCN, you should be knowing as to how to post a query in SCN and get inputs from members.  I am a member of this forum for the last 8 years and I never come across such a thread where the OP keeps asking various queries for more than one year.

This could ONLY be possible due to either

  • you have not posted your requirement clearly but posting in bits and pieces or
  • members did not understand your requirement correctly

but, I strongly feel, you would not have posted your requirement clearly and also I believe, this is NOT a real time issue in which case, you would have felt the heat.  Now that it is very clear that this issue is in IDES, what you can do is list your requirement clearly bullet point wise and below that also add members suggestion and your efforts put forth against that.

May be this will give some idea for the members to respond but to be honest, I don't have the patience to go through such a long thread which I have already indicated above and I am sure, everybody is feeling the same and that is why, you are not getting any inputs.

Dear Ho Fong,

Condition type KOFK is for account det for CO i.e. particualr sale order requires settlement or distribution of expenses. in this case you need to maintain Account determination in VKOA. as per your screen shot you are required to maintain account key: ERL with condition KOFK.

Dear Steel

Condition type KOFK with A/C Key "ERL" had allready been setup in VKOA before finding the above error "KI280".

Dear JP,

The "Profit Center" is not selected under "Costing 1" tab of our respective material master and it is not used for our Controlling Area.

Also, I know that the problem should be able to resolve after creating cost element for the relevant GL A/C in our current server (SAP client 138), but it is not required to create cost element for the relevant GL A/C while Invoice can be release without error in our another server (SAP client 118). This process has been using for nearly 4 years in this SAP client. Do you mean this process is inappropriate ? Anywhere else can still be suggested to check and compare between these two SAP clients ?

Dear Experts,

Some more info. for your ref. -

In our current server (SAP client 138 with problem & error as above), found that Condition Type "KOFK (Acct Determ.with CO)" of A/C Determination was defaulted when creating both SO & Billing.

In our another server (SAP client 118 without problem & error as above), found that Conditon Type "KOFK (Acct Determ.with CO)" was defauled when creating SO but "KOFI (Acct determination)" was defaulted when creating Billing.

Below is the Requirement Routines under these two Condition Types of A/C Determination which are the same in the above two servers -

KOFI (Acct determination) Requirement Routine -

Include LV61C003

* Prüfen, ob keine CO-Kontierung vorliegt
FORM KOBED_003.
  SY-SUBRC = 4.
  CHECK: KOMKCV-RKPREL = SPACE.
  SY-SUBRC = 0.
ENDFORM.
FORM KOBEV_003.
  SY-SUBRC = 4.
  CHECK: KOMKCV-RKPREL = SPACE.
  SY-SUBRC = 0.
ENDFORM.

KOFK (Acct Determ.with CO) Requitement Routine -

Include LV61C002

* Prüfen, ob eine CO-Kontierung vorhanden ist
FORM KOBED_002.
  SY-SUBRC = 4.
  CHECK: KOMKCV-RKPREL = 'X'.
  SY-SUBRC = 0.
ENDFORM.
FORM KOBEV_002.
  SY-SUBRC = 4.
  CHECK: KOMKCV-RKPREL = 'X'.
  SY-SUBRC = 0.

Dear Experts,

After removing the Requirement Type "KE" for Item Cate. "TAO" in OVZH, the Requirement Type was not defaulted in "Procurement" tab when creating SO, no A/C Determination was in SO but it was KOFI in Billing. Then, the Billing could be released without the above error "KI280" so the cost element was not required to create for the relevant GL A/C. Could you advise whther there will be any impact on this ?

Also, still don't know why there was no the error "KI280" in our another SAP client 118 while the config. and the above program routines of KOFI & KOFK condition types are the same in both SAP clients, including the copy control from Sales doc. to Billing doc. Anywhere else can still be suggested to check and compare between these two SAP clients ?

Below is the relevant screens for your ref.

Removed the "KE" of TAO In OVZH.

.

No Req. Type was defaulted when creating SO.

No A/C Detarmination in SO.

A/C Determination condition type KOFI could then be defaulted after creating Billing.

If it is not found in VOV6--then go to sales order---procurement tab--find the requirement type.

Then through this requirement type--find the requirement class.

Then go to IMG>>>SD>>>Basic Finctions>>>TOR & Avbl.check>>>TOR>>>Define Requirement Class.

Here is there any costing related data maintained(like costing sheet,costing method,costing variant,Costing ID)

Update us.(except costing sheet COGS--every other field need to be blank in costing section-needless it is client dependent)

Also i want to see the document flow for your TAO item(line item number 20)

Sorry- i missed.there is no activation of Reg/Assembly for you CD schedule line---are you able to see the requirement type here in procurement tab for this item???(also Requirements MD04)

Because you have not maintained controls in Schedule line--so Req.type may be blank in your case.

anyway this can be controlled by following the strategy in OVZI.

Again--i am giving the following info for your knowledge.

(((((Requirement type can seen in Procurement tab.

(after entering sales doc number in VA02--there are seven tabs--sales,Item over view,Item details,order reason,Procurement,Shipping,Reason for rejection)

through this requirement type you can find Req Class(OVZH).

then -you find the required CO assignments in OVZG.))))))

Update me by following these steps.

Sorry--i am asking little more info on the screen shot of VOV7 too.

Dear Phanikumar,

In OVZI, Item Cate. "TAO" is controlled by Requirement Type "KE - Indiv.cust.ord. w/o consumpt.", Requirement Class is "040".

In SO "Procurement tab", also found the above Requirement Type.

In OVZH, the Requirement Type "KE" is assigned by Requirement Class "040 - MkToOrdNoValW/o cons".

In OVZG (Requirement Class is "040") & VOV7 ("TAO"), the settings are in the screens as below -

For VOV7, the settings for "Service Mgt" & "Control of Resource-related Billing & Creation of Quotations" are blank so didn't capture.

Note: All of the above settings are the same in our another server (i.e. client 118) which has no problem and has no the above error when releasing Invoices for Billing Plan SOs.

Apologies for "Account Determination" instead of mentioning that as "Account Assignment:.

For CO account assignment, you need to have either of the following in your sales order to get the relevant info pass to COPA based on on the business process following:

- Business Area

- Profit Center

- Costing Sheet

- WBS

- Internal Order

Thus, cancel the already created Invoice. Maintain/determine either of above mention CO object in your sales order and reprocess your Invoice for the billing plan.

Dear all,

Thanks for your advice. However, in our another server (i.e. client 118) which is the same settings as above, Sales Invoice can really be released without the following error & cost elemennt is also not required to create for the relevant GL A/C. Only the difference is that no Tax is counted for the Invoice in another server (posted without problem) while 17% Tax is counted for the Invoice in the current server (posted with the following problem). Could you advise ?

Create account 3xxxxxxx for dd.mm.yyyy as a cost element in controlling area HCTH

Hi KH Fong,

I believe the Valid period of the Cost elelemt 3XXXXXX has been expired for the respective Controlling Area HCTH.

This is part of CO mudule, account 3xxxxxx in the determined controlling area HCTH must exist as a cost element on the posting date DD MM YYYY.

Go to KA02 and check the valid period of the cost element 3XXXXXX and maintain the valid date.

Can you please check the Cost element category maintained for the account 3XXXXXX in KA03 Basic Data and let us know whether 01 or 11 is set.

Bcz 01 is used for Primary cost posting and 11 is used for Revenue posting.

If its 01 then try to process Sales Order with an another Internal order and create billing.

If its 11/43 then your posting should happen in the form of Credit Memo.

Based on the screenshot shared by you in one the previous post, it seems like you are using Result Analysis- RA for Cost accounting.

I feel the issue might be b'coz of settlement of actual cost. Check TCode KKA3(actual RA)/KKA3P(planned RA). Hope you relevant pricing conditions in sales doc, which will take care of actual cost.

Take help FI/CO guy of review/comparing the data related to RA.

I have a query. RA is generally used for product costing in sales order, how does it applies/fit into your this business scenario?

Dear JP,

Thanks for your advice. After executing the KKA3 / KKA3P for the relevant SO, found the following error -

Create valuation method in CO area HCTH version 0 RA key 000004

Message no. KJ206

Diagnosis

You are attempting to perform WIP calculation or results analysis using results analysis version 0 and results analysis key 000004 in controlling area HCTH. However, there is no definition in Customizing of how results analysis is to valuate the order or project. To do this you must create a valuation method.

Procedure

Create valuation methods in Customizing for the following:

  • Controlling area HCTH
  • Results analysis version 0
  • Results analysis key 000004

For WIP calculation for product cost collectors, go into Customizing for Product Cost by Period.

For WIP calculation with production orders and process orders, go into Customizing for Product Cost by Order.

For results analysis of sales order items, go into Customizing for Product Cost by Sales Order.

For results analysis with projects, go into Customizing for the Project System.

Could you advise ?

BTW, the setup of SO Billing Plan in our another server (SAP client 118) was done by the previous staffs in which I don't know the background in details. Just found the Results analysis key "000004" is defaulted in SO item(s) when creating the SO. Invoice is created with ref. to the SO according to the Billing Plan item(s). In this server (SAP client 118), Invoice can be released to the specified GL A/C (without the above error "KI280") and Cost Element is not created for this GL A/C. Delivery & Stock Keeping are also not required for the products created for the SO Billing Plan. This process has been using for nearly 4 years.

In addition to that in one of previous post, it is already suggested you to check the validity of the cost element used.

If this scenario is in place for last 4 years. Then better check this with FI\CO Consultant.

Dear KHF,

Just check at your schedule line category --what was the account assignment category assigned??

Due to this only system catches KOFK in third party & IPO scenarios. (TAS/TAB item categories)(CB/CS sch.lines)

in normal TAN--will catch KOFI--due to blank at Schedule line CP.

this is what is the differentiating reason with requirement 002/003 in revenue account determination procedures.

Hope this helps.

Use this key to identify the usage of the milestone.

For the usage you can specify:

  • the purpose of the milestone, for example to trigger a milestone function, for earned value analysis, or to identify a project phase
  • that the data of a standard milestone is copied when you create a new milestone on the milestone overview
  • that milestones can be selected in the information system.

Hi Experts,

Related to the Q1, when trying to release Invoice from the SO (Billing Plan), found error as below -

Create account 31010001 for 26.05.2014 as a cost element in controlling area HCTH

Message no. KI280

Diagnosis

Account 31010001 is a profit and loss account. You assigned it to an object in cost accounting (for example, a cost center, order, or project).

System Response

Account 31010001 in the determined controlling area HCTH must exist as a cost element on the posting date 26.05.2014.

Procedure

  • Create account 31010001 as a cost element and then repeat your posting.
  • Or, delete auxiliary account assignment to objects in cost accounting.

The above date "26.05.2014" is the Billing Plan date under "SO Header - Billing Plan" tab. Problem is that there is the same setting for the A/C in our another server (SAP client) but Invoices can be released to Accounting for the A/C without creating the cost element in this server (SAP client). Could you advise why the error was prompted in one server (SAP client) but it was not prompted in our another server (SAP client) ?

Tks,

Hi fong,

Have you  checked with Billing plan configuration.To my understanding it is milestone billing

Why don't you  try billing plan  with other billing  block's like 02.It may solve your problem.

To be honest, I am unable to understand from this long thread chain where your issue stands.  However, on your query

but I don't know in what situation system would determinate the type KOFI or KOFK. Could you advise ?

please note when CO objects are there, KOFK will come into picture.  When CO objects are not there, KOFI will come into picture.  These are controlled via the routines 2 & 3 respectively assigned in the Account Determination Pricing Procedure

Dear Diamond

Thanks for your advice. Does it mean that if the GL A/C (assigned in VKOA) needs CO objects / elements, A/C determination will follow the KOFK. Otherwise, it will follow the KOFI ? If so, how can check whether the GL A/C requires to create the CO objects / elements ?

Tks,

Hi,

In VKOA, check if you have maintained the GL account for your condition type KxxK.
