COPA Profitability Segment Issue

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

There is a COPA issue where a profitability segment get generated in PO creation against the sales order. But there is no derivation rule being set in KEDR to behave in this way.  Therefore as the main issue,in billing the system gets the characteristics generated against the profitability segment created in PO instead the characteristics generated against the profitability segment created in Billing.

Could you please let me know as how the profitability segments can be generated in PO creation? What are the possible places we can find such a configuration in the system apart from KEDR?

Thanks

MK

Dear MK,

The account assignment of the PA segment in the PO i.e. the population of EKKN-PAOBJNR has nothing to do with KEDR customizing. Whether the PO has account assignment to cost center / PA segment / IO ...is decided either by customizing in MM or by CO customizing in OKB9 / OKC9

  Refer note 772345

Hello MK, It is standard design of the system,Purchase order have not billing data. if you want to billing related characteristics value filled while creating PO then you should have your own derivation strategy either through some rule or table lookup or any user exit(enhancement COPA0001).
