Maintain PA Transfer Structure (SAP Library - Maintenance and Service Processing)

Maintain PA Transfer Structure

In this activity, you define the structures to be used to settle actual and planning data for orders and projects.

Although it is technically possible, via a joint maintenance dialog, to use the same PA transfer structures from different allocation types in settlement, you should instead define separate PA transfer structures.

Actions

1. Select the function "New entries" and enter an abbreviation and a name for your PA transfer structure.

2. Divide your cost elements according to how you want to group them in Profitability Analysis, and create assignment lines accordingly. These assignment lines are then used to transfer the cost elements to CO-PA value fields.

The indicator for quantity billed/delivered is relevant for settling sales orders and projects. Select this indicator for the particular assignment line with which the billed quantity is to be transferred to CO-PA. Under "Value fields", you need to assign a CO-PA quantity field (quantity/value indicator "2") to such an assignment line for the billed quantity. During settlement to CO-PA, the billed amount is transferred to the assigned field.

3. For each assignment line, enter into the order/project the cost element(s) or the cost element group to be assigned. You should usually activate the "Costs/Revenues" option as the source. The "Variances on production orders" option is only relevant for the settlement of production orders. In the latter case, you should define a separate operating concern (see the section "

Define PA Tranfer Structure for Variance Settlement"). The "Accounting indicator from SM orders" option is only relevant for the settlement of service orders.

1. For each assignment line, enter the value field (or, if costs are split into fixed and variable portions, both value fields) into which the entered costs are to be imported.
