Ifyou received an error, termination, then this should be spectied in the search, We recommend to use the five digit error code (e.g, “KD256" or "KD 256") or the report name (e.g. RKO7CO88) Please have a look at + KBA 2172375 - How we search {Video} KBA 1540080 - How to search for KBs, KBAs, SAP Notes, product documentation, and SCN + KBA 2081285 - How to get best resulls from an SAP search? 2, Previous Settlements On the inital screen for settlement, you can display the previous settlements for a sender by choosing "Goto -> Previous settlements". This ‘shows you the detailed procedure in which the sender was settled, which debits were made for each settlement, and how these debits were distributed to the receivers. You can also go to the accounting dacuments that were created fram this screen, ‘The alsplay is based on the settlement documents. Allthe settlement documents that ar in the gystom are displayed forthe abject, regardless of the period. The total ofall the documents is also displayed. If settlement documents have already been archived, then these ‘costs are not included. The system issues a waring if this isthe case. This analysis method is always useful f you experience incorrect updates of documents. It is also very useful if you require an overview of whether and when the object has already bean settled Further information can be found in SAP note 373885. 3. The Flow Trace 34 General Introduction to The Flow Trace From Release 4.0 itis possible to write a flow trace for a single settlement. You can activate this in the inital screen menu in KO88 by ‘choosing "Extras -> Activate flow trace”, Once you have cailed up the settlement, you can see the basic lst ofthe log. This provides a very ‘goad picture of the technical progress ofthe settlement and of possible errors in setlement Customizing. The log explains comprehensively ‘why the settlement setted which costs and where, It is recommended that you use this function, It ften enables you to search for errors. successfully without debugging, ‘The following graphics show how the flow trace can be evaluated. 3.2 Example 1: Settlement of a Production Order with Status REL hitps:lik scn.sap.comivikielsplayIERPFUHowstorAnalyzerActual¥Setlement w arzarz018 How to Analyze Actual Settlement -ERP Financials - SCN Wiki When you settle production order 60003641 the ow trace provides the following information: Actual Settlement: Order Expand Colapss Postion setfouus @ Flow cece for gettlenest 1 caaent settie coate/revenues = Seutienest profile ex.ase Gp rans 6 1 Diatelbute coate/seveniee/... to the rece Initially the Now trace shows which sender was processed, in this case order 60003641 ‘Then the setlement rule is read in three steps: + Determine settlement transactions * Distribution rule + Settlament parameters ‘The settlement rule that is valid for this settlement (100% FUL to material 100-100, plant 1000) is isted as well as settlement profile FA_ABP that was stored in the settlement rue, However, especially important is the determination of the settlement transactions: + lial, the system checks whether costs and revenues are to be settled.

Additionally, only categories are solectod for which posting rules have been stored in the controling area (transaction OKGS). All other categories and versions are not relevant to settlement. In addition, all categories relevant to profit are selected on senders with revenues. These are the following categories: RIML (60), RILC (61), COSR (63), COSO (64), COSP (65), POCL (71), POCR (72) VLRV (75). The description of these categories can be found in domain ABKAT (tab value range) via SE" Now the records found are distributed to the receivers individually ‘The cost element ofthe record found by the system is 672111, and it belongs to the WIPR category. The value in the settlement period is 89,91 EUR after the costs already setted are sublracted. The tolal value of costs nol settled during the year for this record fs also 89,91 EUR. This value is settled to FI, but is not relevant to prof, since WIPR does nat belong to the categories relevant to profit (see above), so the record isnot setied tothe receiver specified in the settiement rule. 3.3 Example 2: Settlement of a Production Order with Status DLV When production order 60003841 is settled the question arises as to why the calculated variances were not posted to costing-based profiabilty analysis.

COBRA contains the settlement parameters and COBRB contains the settlement rule. 42 CostsiRevenues ‘The settlement rule reads the costs tobe settad for an object from the CO totals tables (COSP and COSS). Depending on the settlement transaction, the COSB table may also be important. Please see point 3 "Business Transactions for Actual Setiement” in WIKI article ‘General information on Actual Selllement in Cost Object Controlling (CO-PC-OB.) Generally the line tems are not important. COSL table Contains the delivered quantity for production orders and the billed quantiy for sales orders and WBS elements. 43 Already sottled values For each of the CO totals tables listed above, there is a settlement table in which values already seltled are saved as totals: COSPD, COSSD, COSBD, COSLD. in settlement, the costs are read from the CO totals records and then the values from the D lables are ‘ubtracted.
