Top 2 SAP Tips to Work Efficiently

In this series, I would like to present a bunch of quick 20 Tips related to FI/CO/AA that may come handy to you. I can’t claim you will find all of them to be new, but there will be something for everyone, to a great extent and also learn by SAP ABAP ON HANA training

Tip -1

Steps to activate Budget Check for assets (without IM)

  • Activate order management in controlling area
  • Activate commitment management in controlling area & Order type
  • Enable Budgetary control in Internal Order
  • Create statistical IO with “Object class – Investment”
  • Assign the statistical IO in asset master in the “Origin” Tab – “Investment Order” Field
  • Create asset recon account as statistical cost element (Category 90)
  • The FSG of asset recon account must allow IO (OBC4)
  • Activate the investment order as the additional account assignment object for asset acquisition (ACSET)
  • Enter budget for the statistical internal order (KO22)

Tip -2

  • Create PA Transfer Structure with as many assignments as Cost Components in Cost Component Structure
  • Choose the Option “Costs / Revenues” in each assignment, instead of “Variances”
  • Assign each assignment to a different value field

Traditionally, variances are settled to COPA as per Variance Categories. But this is also an interesting way of doing the Variance Settlement
