Actual costs after settlement

Logically should actual costs be displayed in cost reports after settlement?
In my case line item actuals shows the costs as zero as PRE settlement done to cost center. But in that case should the value be still displayed as actual costs.
In other systems here the value is still displayed though it is settled to an AuC or CTR. What could be the reason?

You may reverse the manual posting to asset (credit posting with Dr/Cr indicator of C) and then perform settlement via CJ88. I hope i was able to understand your query correctly and answer it appropriately.

Planned cost correct in value category, problem in actual cost after GI

Hi,
I have maintained cost elements for value categories for material. The cost comes correctly under value category. After doing good issue of this material. The cost comes in maintenance order actual cost. But it does not appear under value category expected (it should fall in same value category as planned cost). Please suggest on this.
Regards,
Vijay

Hi,
The value category / cost elements combination is corret & this is the reason why the cost comes in proper value category in planned cost when the material is reserved.
But when the material is issued, it does not come in same value category under actual cost head.
I believe there are no different settings for planned cost & actual cost related to value category & cost element.
In my understanding, if the cost comes in planned cost then it should come in same value category in actual cost.
Please correct if I am wrong.
Thanks

KKAX shows WIP costs after settling the production order

Dear experts,
We have production order and we did the following actions in March (end of the year),
1-     Create the order
2-     TECO the order
Then in May we did the following actions:
1.     Revoke TECO
2.     Give DLV
3.     TECO again
4.     Calculating the variances
5.     Settle the order
The problem that in KKAX we can see the WIP costs in the column (WIP (Cumul.))
So, although the order is settled but the WIP costs not cleared,
And as I know the settlement will clear the costs, how this happen.
Thanks in advance

Hi
First u see whether u have any incomplete Production order .
That is in any oder have u not comfirmed quantity if in this casse please clear than now try to run the KKAX

Actual cost in CN41N

Hello,
Our project profile has 4 levels of WBS. Actual costs are not shown on level 3 and 4 and I don't know why. It is a Project which capitalize the cost. Network has settlement on WBS Level 2, WBS level 2 has settlement on AuC. Before settlement the actual costs are shown, but after the settlement is running, the amount is 0.
Can you please advice how I can check if there is some errors?
Thanks.

Actual Cost of Prodcution

Hi ,
This is regarding Actual cost calculation.
I have three material X - RAW MATERIAL, Y-SEMIFINISH MATERIAL, Z-FINISH MATERIAL.
X=Stand. price Rs.10
Processing cost Rs.10
Y= Stand. price Rs.25
Processing cost Rs.10
When i produce Y , Cost will be = 10 (X) + 10(processcost)= 20 RS.
So actual Price during prodcution is 20 , but it taking 25 (Standerd price of Y) in next step for production of Z (25+10=35 Rs.)
So its coming wrong picture...it should take 20 Rs. What i have to do for getting actual cost after prodcution.
Whre i can see this comparision ???
Please Suggest
Regards
DHIRAJ

Hi,
Please refer the below steps.
1. Creation of Production Order with account assignment as WBSE
2.Production Order Confirmation on completion of manufacturing of material
3. Settlement of Production Order to respetive materials / WBSE based on business requirments.
Hope this will help you.

After Settlement, Cost not transfer from one WBS to another WBS in customer project

Hello Experts,
I am trying to settle cost from one WBS (i.e. XYZ-000014-1) to another WBS (i.e. XYZ-00001)in customer project.
Its a revenue type of project.
I have added 4 internal activities in an network under one WBS (i.e. XYZ-000014-1).
Got actual values after confirming activities, then settle that network cost on WBS (i.e. XYZ-000014-1) through CJ88.
Now while trying to settle that cost from WBS (i.e. XYZ-000014-1) to WBS (i.e. XYZ-00001) through CJ88, system not showing any result.
Kindly give ur valuable inputs.
Regards,

Kindly tell me that is it a standard functionality of SAP that through CJ88 we can transfer cost from WBS to WBS.
Technically ,Yes.Cost is actually transferred from one cost object to another cost object.
I hv discuss the same with some of my frds ...some are denying the same that its not a standard functionality of SAP to transfer cost on same cost object.
Instead of 'transfer' I would rather use the word 'settlement' . Practically, they are right as projects-WBS are temporary endeavors of companies, and cost can not reside on WBS permanently as it has to settle to some entity (organizational unit) which can be accounted during the reconciliation of their chart of accounts and balance sheets.
SAP has provided us an option to settle our cost to WBS and hence its standard . Generally, we use it when we have 1 WBS at level 1 and all lower WBS's costs is settled to this WBS . Here, we specify Level 1 WBS as the receiver of cost of these lower WBS.
Hope,I am clear here.

Actual Costing / Material Ledger - Component values transfer after movement

I executed a production order with several cost components, as Labor, Machine HS, after the settlement of the production order this cost where allocated into de CKM3N components. In addition to this, I executed movement 412 Q (Plant Stock to WBS Stock) for the material and the component values didnt pass to the material / PEP. I executed CKMLCP to Multilevel price determination. Can anyone help me with this?
The original material kept the cost split values, but the Material / Pep didnt. (the material code and plant didn't change)
Regards

Hi ,
Welcome to SDN ..
Its not a ML issue , but its a MM issue..
Movement 412Q is a transfer from plant stock to project stock. The material quantity gets reduced from plant stock and increased on project stock. The material value stays on the inventory account (so you won't see any actual costs associated with this transaction). ..
After you do a 412Q you can to a 221Q to issue the material from your project stock to the WBS. This will reduce the quantity in your project stock segment. The material value is credited to inventory and debited to material consumption expense(actual cost on the WBS).
The above applies to valuated project stock only. An issue to non-valuated project stock is treated like an inventory transfer from the logistics point of view(quantity is moved from plant stock to project stock) but like a consumption from a financial point of view(reduce inventory, increase expense).
Since, your Project Stock is not consumed.. CKM3N is not reflecting any consumption. Please use the movement type 221Q and i am sure your issue will be solved..
Please revert back for any further clarifications

5.plan value
6. actual value
Can i settle the actual cost of production order to Fixed Asset ?
If yes
what are process kindly give me if any process other then the below
1.production order created
2. settlement profile - FA is settlement optional
3. allocation structure
4. Asset created
5 define asset in settlement rule
Kindly give me your valuable input
regards
elango

Hi,
Although i am not CO expert , please check with your FICO consultant who are expert before make the final call.
During settlement to a G/L account or a fixed asset, the system ignores additional account assignments that were manually specified in the distribution rule.
Based on what i know .
you can stipulate that settlement may be made to cost centers and orders, but not to fixed assets.
The Settlement profile is something that you need to create a settlement rule to settle the actual costs of a sender object.
About the Settlement rule is something that contains the distribution rules for the sender. It will define how the way to settle the cost.
Allocation Structure
In the settlement structure you combine the primary and secondary cost elements into groups, in which debits are then posted to the sender objects. For each group, you specify whether (for settlement to a given receiver type) settlement is performed
by cost element or using a settlement cost element.
For example, you might use settlement cost elements:
To document the purpose of an order (such as, repairs or maintenance)
To reduce data volumes (you can combine a number of debit cost elements
under one settlement cost element).

To see the cost of production order after settlement to header material

hello guys,
   In make to stock,we settle the total cost of prodution order on header material,right(if we keep as the default rule( distribution rule in order type)?
     If i want to see that cost of production order which we settled against the header material,where should i check it?should i check in material account or somewhere else?
         Thanking you guys in advance.

Dear,
There is a little missunderstanding in your thought.
If the material of price control S, When you do the GR, the STD cost of material is deducted from production order cost, then when you settle the production order, the variance is settled to variance account/PD account. hence the production order cost balance is zero.
Example- Production order cost is 60000
After GR the production order cost balance is 60000-50000 = 10000.
After settlement production order cost balance is zero.
Now your question is where can i see the production order cost?
You can see the production order cost in the production order itself.
In the production order...cost disply option just filter the origin with test settlement and GR.
Then total up the cost, then you can see the cost as 60000.
please come back if you need more help.

Cost center after settlement in FAGLL03 REPORT

we have process of material issue thru maintennce order. after issuing material FI entry is on respective gl and maintence order
in report fagll03 we can see this combination and then after settlement of cost of order on cost center we are not able to see cost center in report fagll03.
is it possible to get cost center after settlement in this report.
if no then how can we see cost center / gl / material report for maintence orders.

You can't able to see the cost center report until settle the maintenance order to cost center with secondary cost element.
after settlement also you can't see in FAGLL03, you can see only cost center report with secundry cost element

Material Ledger Active - K088 Settlement doesnt use Actual Cost Comp Split

Production Order quantities are all scrap (in confirmation) thus order balance contains Consumed Materials and Activity Allocation
When KO88 Settlement is run, the system uses Standard Cost Component Split to allocate the residual to Cost Components instead of the Actual Cost Component Split
When we run the flow trace, the message says:
"Splitting according to output material S-Price CCS"
Expectation was that costs would flow according to Actual Cost Component split.
There is note 756167 - This note activates the update of the actual cost component split information in the material ledger document when you perform the order settlements.
However current release is 604, so its expected that this is already applied.
Any help or insight on how to settle using Actual Cost Component split is appreciated.

The second option you mentioned of using separate value field for transferring the standard cost component split from the actual cost component split is the way SAP designed this integration between CO-PA and the Material Ledger. But 40 value field for cost component split is excessive. CO-PA allows up to 120 value fields maximum, so I agree it does not seem prudent to use 80 of them for this purpose.
I suggest you reexamine the level of detail you think may be needed in CO-PA and try to use CO-PC reports at the cost element level to report on more detail. Keep the CO-PA view more aggregated and you can stick with the standard solution for comparing standard to actual costs in CO-PA.

Material Ledger : Actual Cost settlement to Consumption Accounts

Dear CO Experts,
We are aware that when we run CKMLCP, all variances (in the Price Diff GL Account) due to Material Prices flutuation, diff in Standard & Actual Cost of Production, etc. would finally get settled to Consumption or Stock Account in its appropriate ratios.
Consumption Acount GL is a Cost Element with Cost Category as 1.
There can be cases, when there are diferences in Production Order, due to fluctuations in Prices or Actual consumption is more than standard consumption.
When a Production Order is settled the difference is posted to Price Diff Account.
When a Material Ledger (Actual Costing) is executed, Price Diff Account is targetted to be Zero. The Price Diff is then splitted in Stock & Consumtion Account in its appropriate ratios.
Main Question :
Since, Consumption Acount GL is a Cost Element with Cost Category as 1, what shall be the CO Account Assignment Object, when the ML value is settled to Consumption Accounts.

hi merchant..
   1. Price diff between stnd and act is initially goes to PRD a/c through OBYC setting at the time of GR/Invoiceing/Issue if mat is set as S&3.
   2. In case of mat set as V&2 idially there should not be any diff but may arise some small amount due to "no or less stock qty" at the time of invoicing.
3. When CKMLCP is run these price diff & order settlement diff splitted to cons and stock as you mentioned.
Now your question :
" Since, Consumption Acount GL is a Cost Element with Cost Category as 1, what shall be the CO Account Assignment Object, when the ML value is settled to Consumption Accounts"
    Cons GL is cost element cat 1 for capturing mat mov for Issues to orders/cost centres,oth co obj for primary posting at stnd price.
    Now at the time of CKMLCP run you revaluate the materials and price diff are splitted to cons & stock and goes to mat to calculate act cost (stnd +/- prd).
I think this will give you some light on your issue.
