Link between Product costing to CO-PA?Answer

# 1Settlement of Production VariancesWhen you valuate products with the standard price ofproduction, so-called "production variances" can result onthe production orders (actual cost of goods manufactured -(produced quantity * standard price)).

These production variances are determined in Product CostPlanning (CO-PC) and broken down there according to variancecategories. When you settle the production order, you cantransfer these variance categories to separate value fieldsin Profitability Analysis.

Prerequisites1. The production variances first need to be calculated inCO-PC.2. Your PA transfer structure must contain assignments ofvariance categories to value fields.3. In the settlement profile, you defined that variances areto be settled.4. The settlement rule to profitability segments is createdautomatically based on the information available in theproduction order (product, product group, plant and so on).5. You must have maintained number ranges for record type "C".6. The desired form of Profitability Analysis must be activein the relevant controlling area.

currency to foreign currency  Is This Answer Correct ?    2 Yes 4 No

 

  Re: Why do we need to do Foreign Currency EvaluationAnswer

# 2When we do balance sheet, open items in vendors/customer/ledger line item which are in foreign currency should be shown correctly.

As per account standard--11 of ICAI these should valuated at balance sheet date & what ever gain/loss should be accounted for.

This is reason we do foreign currency valueation.

In SAP customization done through OB59 & OBA1. We have define method for valuation. In method along with other parameter we define which rate should be taken to valuate foreigh currency.

Actual valuation we do by T-code F.05

Answer# 9

My understanding is that there is just one vendor invoice of $1000 already posted in SAP and at the time of making payment i.e. on due date, you have received a request from vendor to make three payments of partial amounts i.e. 500, 300 and 200 and credit them to three different vendor bank accounts.

Make use of payment request (Spl GL ind 'P') to split amounts.

# 2LSMW - Legacy System Migration Workbench , it is used extensively during the implementation time for uploading the legacy data to SAP system like master datas customer master record,vendor master,g/l master etc.inorder to start running LSMW we have certain prerequisites to be defined.LSMW will be used predominentely by Functional consultants.

BDC - Batch Data Communication ) is used for uploading mass data into SAP system. In SAP system BDC also referred to batch input or data tranfer.Typical UsesTypical uses of batch input include the one-time import of

Page 15: Interview 2

data from a legacy system into a newly installed R/3 System. Another typical use is for periodic transfers of data from external systems or legacy systems that are still in use into SAP.

BAPI - BAPI (Business Application Programming Interface) is a set of interfaces to object-oriented programming methods that enable a programmer to integrate third-party software into the proprietary R/3 product from SAP. For specific business tasks such as uploading transactional data, BAPIs are implemented and stored in the R/3 system as remote function call (RFC) modules.

Re: Can any body explain what configuration steps are required for parallel accounting (parallel ledger) in new GL ?Answer

# 1How does Parallel Accounting works in SAP (FICO)? Requirement is; a leading ledger is created in the system (0L – ledger = GAAP). Then another ledger should be created and classified as non-leading ledger (1L – ledger = TAX).

All financial transactions in the system are posted to both ledgers if no ledger is specified in the transaction. If you generate a financial statement or gl account report, both ledgers contain the data of the transaction posted.

To post only to specific leger (e.g. 0L – ledger), the Ledger Group field in the header should be filled-up with 0L – ledger. The transaction won’t affect the other ledger (1L – ledger).

Configuration Steps: 1. Define Ledgers for General Ledger accounting2. Define Currencies for Leading ledger3. Define and active non-Leading ledger.

# 4hi,

controling area means, it is individual area which we find out the actual costs and incomes, based on this information we can decide whether we hav to control costs and incomes from the tht area. area means productr services.

Page 21: Interview 2

cost center indicate of actual cost of the product to produced r to get. it is part of controling of costs.

internal order means to get the raw meterial from the godown to the production area, we hav to cofigure steps to posting data raw meterial like meterial type, cost, etc.

profit center indicate the actual profit of each product r serves.

these are inter related with each other. these are used to find the actual cost incured and incomes gained. based on this we can control the cost of producing products.

this information as of my knowledge, if der is any wrong, pls ignore, then send me right answer to my id:[email protected] 

what is controlling area, cost center, cost element,internal order & profit center?what does it control?what is relationship between each other?Answer

# 5Controlling Area:An organizational unit within a company, used to represent a closed system for cost accounting purposes.A controlling area may include single or multiple company codes that may use different currencies. These company codes must use the same operative chart of accounts.All internal allocations refer exclusively to objects in the same controlling area.

Profit center:rofit center is an organizational unit in

Page 22: Interview 2

accounting that reflects a management-oriented structure of the organization for the purpose of internal control.Profit Center Accounting evaluates the profit or loss of

individual, independent areas within an organization. These areas are responsible for their costs and revenues.

Cost Center:Cost Centers are the organizational units within a controlling area that represents a location where costs occur. Organizational divisions can be done on the basis of functional, settlement-related, activity-related,

region/section/department related, and/or responsibility-related, to monitor actual and plan figure standpoints where cost is captured.

Cost Element:All Profit and Loss GL account defined in Finance Chart of account shall be created, as Cost Element This is in order to avoid Reconciliation of FI and CO module. As soon as Cost element is created in controlling module one needs to give Cost object to it. Cost Object could be Material, Cost Center, Internal Order, Production Order etc.Two Types of CE:Primary CE- Primary cost elements, which are based on GL accounts. Secondary CE- Secondary cost elements are used only in CO booking in case of transfer/allocation/Distribution/Recovery of cost

Page 23: Interview 2

within Controlling.

Internal Order:An internal order is used to accumulate cost for a specificproject or task for a specific time period. An internalorder is therefore used for a short period with a specificdeadline.

Cost center, Profit center, Internal order & Cost element above all under controlling area they are link each other.they cost object where cost and revenue collect.
