Settlement Rule

Question:
Hi,
I'm in 4.6C.
I have CS questions need to consult:
1. Can I create settlement rule automatically for each service order we generate? If yes, where do we set it? My current situation is:
a. I have to use IW32 and click on icon for settlemt rule. From there, I choose "PER". The next step is I have to click on the profitability segment button, from there on, I have to manually enter some of the fields like selling division, ship-to-party and payer (customer numbers) and so on...
I was informed that I do not need to enter the material number as CS scenarios vary and it may not be possible in some cases, to enter just one material in the settlement rule. It seems like it is too tedious to maintain all these info.
I maintained settlement profile with the following setting:
Click ‘To be settle in full’
Click ‘%-Settlement’
Click ‘Equivalence numbers’
Click ‘Amount settlement’
Allocation structure = ‘A2’
PA transfer structure = ‘CS’
Default object type = ‘PSG’
G/L account = ‘1’
Cost center = ‘1’
Order = ‘1’
WBS element = ‘1’
Profit segment = ‘1’
Sales order = ‘1’
Document type = ‘SA’
Maximum number distribution rules = ‘4’
Residence time = ‘3’
From PA Transfer structure:
I have sales value(tick source and value filed assignment), sales quantity(tick qty billed and vales assignmnet) and cost of goods sold (tick source and value filed assignment)
From Time for Settlement Rule, Distribution Rule for Sub-orders:
Mandatory for completion
No special handling of sub-orders
2. How can we default material number , quantity and selling division for CO reporting. The current problem is FI/CO can not view the certain fields (selling division, material and quantity) from COPA. They only can extract CS with certain fields like service order number with total sales and cost values without breaking down into line items(since it can't capture mateial number and qty) in Transaction code KE24.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Vincent
Answer:
VW,
Short answer - talk to your FI/CO team.
The PSG determination is not working for you. Maybe you need to populate more master data in your Equip/FLoc which is the transferred to your PM/CS Order. Then possibly into the PSG determination process.

Hi,
I have followed the setting in IMG--> Define Time and Creation of Distribution Rule:
Mandatory for completion and No special handling of sub-orders.
It doesn't work for this. How do generate settlement rule automatically?There must have setting somewhere....
For my 2nd question again, FI/CO personnel can not extract material numbers with quantity based on service order in their COPA reporting. In other words, when FI/CO using T-code KE24 to display actual line items for CS. They can view only service orders with total revenue and cost (No material numbers and qty info!)
Is there a user-exit to default the service material with qty and selling division for COPA reporting? If yes, who has to maintain it? FI/CO Team or CS Team? Please advise.
Thanks in advance.
