Assign Value Fields (SAP Library - Entry title was not found)

Assign Value Fields

All revenues, sales deductions and other values (such as transfer prices) are defined as conditions in SD. In this step, you assign these conditions to the corresponding CO-PA value fields.

Note that certain limitations exist on the transfer of condition values of billing documents to CO-PA.

1. To transfer condition types for sales revenues and sales deductions to CO-PA, you need to make sure that the condition types and linked to an account in FI that is also defined as a cost element of the category "11" (revenue element) or "12" (sales deduction) in CO. These condition types must be assigned to a CO-PA value field.
Condition types linked to FI accounts that are defined as cost elements of another category are not transferred to CO-PA, even when the condition type has been assigned to a CO-PA value field.

2. Condition types such as "VPRS" ("Cost") that are defined as statistical in SD are always transferred to CO-PA if they are assigned to a value field.

3. All condition types that you want to transfer to CO-PA must be active in the SD pricing procedure. Inactive conditions in a billing item are not transferred. If all the conditions in a billing item are inactive, that item is not transferred to CO-PA.
Conditions do not need to be active, however, to be transferred with sales order items, since the transfer of incoming sales orders is always statistical.

It is also possible to transfer conditions from MM to update billing data in pooled payment in the IS Retail system. These are transferred according to the same rules as SD conditions.

Notes

Conditions from SD are always transferred to CO-PA with "+" signs, with the exception of credit memos and returns. The reasons for this is that the signs for revenues are handled differently in the different applications of the R/3 System. For example, revenues are positive in SD, while they are negative in FI. Consequently, CO-PA accepts all the values as positive, and then subtracts deductions and costs from revenues in the information system.

Note that the indicator Transfer +/- signs is not used to compare the different use of +/- signs between FI or SD and CO-PA. If you activate this indicator, only the positive and negative values for the condition in question will be balanced. This guarantees that the sum of the negative and positive condition values is displayed as a correct total value in the value field assigned to that condition.

Prerequisites

The level of detail of the valuation in the SD billing document must meet the requirements for value fields in Profitability Analysis.

The pricing procedure must be defined in SD.

The condition types must be defined in SD.

It is not necessary to activate the conditions for transferring sales order data, since this transfer is solely for statistical purposes.

Actions

Assign value fields to the conditions you want to transfer to Profitability Analysis, and set the flag "Transfer with +/- signs" if desired.

Note that in this step you are maintaining the same table that you maintain in the steps under Transfer of Incoming Sales Orders and Transfer Customer Rebate Agreements .

Thus, if you delete an entry, that entry is deleted in both steps.
