Allocation of cost from service cost center to production cost center

Dear sir ,
Will I use to distribute the cost from service department to production department and that cost centers also using for activity planing will get currect result in product costing ?

Hello,
Can you clarify what you want to do ?
Allocation of cost from service cost centers to production cost centers can be done with the help of Assessment / Distribution cycles and you can do a activity planning using the same costs as well. The steps for activity planning would be as under:
1. Create primary cost planning in the service and production cost centers (KP06)
2. Create activity planning in the production cost centers (KP26) without any rate
3. Run assessment / distribution cycles to transfer cost from the service cost centers to production cost centers (KSUB / KSVB), in case you are not transferring based on activity quantity then also do SKF planning in KP46
4. Run plan cost splitting in case you have more then one activity type (do config for splitting structure beforehand) (KSS4)
5. Calculate Plan price for the production cost center activity types (KSPI)

External Service Order PO in Product Costing

Hi,
We have Sales Order Costing process which is done on Sales Order level. During Sales order creation and save, costing is calculated automatically. Based on Sales Order MRP Run is generated and Production Order is made on the basis of Sales Order. We have requirement of External Service Purchase Order need to be flow in product costing. Already we have done external service order purchase order through production cost center and it has done GRN and vendor invoice. GRN value has flown to production cost center. next step I have doubt. In Costing variant under valuation variant - External Processing strategy sequence is done as "Net Purchase Order Price". What are the other settings are required ?
So I would request you, please guide me how external service order purchase Order can be shown to product costing ? If I want to show this external po value to costing sheet during sales order costing how it can be introduced ?
Best Regards.

Profit center in Product cost collector

Hi,
We need to change the profit center in the product cost collector after the actual postings were made. SAP does not allow to change the profit center. So any other work around solution for this issue? Can somebody help me with this?
Thanks & Regards,
Raghava

Hi Bhuvaneswari,
We are having a situation,
The issue is to change the profit center for the product collector after the actual postings were made. Now the big problem is there is no PA transfer structure defined to execute the settlement for these product cost collectors and then change the profit center. Can you give some work around solution for this? And also what about the postings made previously.
To give more insight,
In the order type, Settlement profile is maintained
In the Settlement profile, Allocation structure is maintained
How do you link the settlement profile / allocation structure to the PA transfer structure?
I can not settle the order (Product cost collector) as there is no PA transfer structure
Thanks & Regards,
Raghava

Report for extracting the actual and planned cost from service orders

HI all
we are creating a report in BI for Module - Customer service . LIke , the report is all about how many complaints created in the system and how many completed technically and what is the cost involved for each complaint .
Like we want the comparision between the planned cost and the actual cost .
Now to give the logic to the BI Team for planned cost and actual cost , please suggest the flow of logic or table flow to arrive the planned and actual cost
thanks in advance

Hi Marthand,
I am not sure which datasource your are using. In this case, you can use the 0VALUETYPE to differencitae between th eplan and actuals. Normally Plan which is budget will have value 050 and for actuals will have 010. For costs, you will have one key figure and at the reporting level, you will have the costs restricted by the value type for plan and actual to make comparisons.
Hope this helps.

How to Allocate Costs from One Dimension to Another

I am attempting allocate costs from the department to the Production line within a location.
I have 8 dimensions in my BSO Essbase cube.
The dimensions are as follows.
Accounts
Period
Scenario
Version
Years
Location
Department
Product
What I need to do is as follows.
i.e.
Department 100 = $1,000 UDA = Variable Expense
Department 100 = $2,000 UDA = Fixed Expense
Line 1 = 30% of Dept 100 Costs where UDA = Variable Expense = $300
Line 2 = 25% of Dept 100 Costs where UDA = Variable Expense = $250
Line 3 = 45% of Dept 100 Costs where UDA = Variable Expense = $450
Sum of Lines = $1,000 where UDA = Variable Expense
Line 1 = 10% of Dept 100 Costs where UDA = Fixed Expense = $200
Line 2 = 15% of Dept 100 Costs where UDA = Fixed Expense = $300
Line 3 = 75% of Dept 100 Costs where UDA = Fixed Expense = $1,500
Sum of Lines = $2,000 where UDA = Fixed Expense
And of course my situation is much more complex as the % will change with each scenario, period, versions, department combination.
I have created distribution % accounts within the accounts dimension to distribute between my 3 main production lines. Which is within the alternate dimension of the Location dimension.
I am on Essbase 9.2.0.3, Win 32 bit.
Can someone suggest how to do this?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Dan

Allow me to further explain my needs.
I have the following Input.
Version = Current
Scenario = Actuals
Year = FY12
Location = L_01
Product = No_Product
Dept     Acct     Jan      Feb      Mar
D_100     A_6001     100      110      120      UDA = Var Spend from Accounts dimension
D_100     A_6002     200      210      220      UDA = Fix Spend from Accounts dimension
D_100     A_6003     300      310      320      UDA = Var Spend from Accounts dimension
D_101     A_6004     400      410      420      UDA = Fix Spend from Accounts dimension
D_101     A_6005     500      510      520      UDA = Var Spend from Accounts dimension
D_101     A_6006     600      610      620      UDA = Fix Spend from Accounts dimension
Totals          2,100      2,160      2,220
The calculated totals for Dept/UDA for Fix,Var would be as follows based on above inputs.
Dept Jan Feb Mar
D_100 400 420 440 UDA = Var Spend from Accounts dimension
D_100 200 210 220 UDA = Fix Spend from Accounts dimension
D_101 500 510 520 UDA = Var Spend from Accounts dimension
D_101 1,000 1,020 1,040 UDA = Fix Spend from Accounts dimension
I need to allocate the above using % per Department -> Location -> UDA(Account) -> Period
Dept Line Jan Feb Mar
D_100 Line 1 10% 15% 20% Var Spend
D_100 Line 2 20% 25% 30% Var Spend

D_101 Line 2 0% 100% 0% Fix Spend
D_101 Line 3 0% 0% 100% Fix Spend
Allocation % 100% 100% 100%
I have created a statistical accounts for these % named as follows.
Alloc_Fix_D100_Line1 Alloc_Fix_D101_Line1

Alloc_Var_D100_Line2 Alloc_Var_D101_Line2
Alloc_Var_D100_Line3 Alloc_Var_D101_Line2
The Line 1, Line 2, and Line 3 are alternate hierarchies within the Location dimension.
The needed script is to produce the output below.

The ultimate goal is to see the same departmental expenses by Variable/Fixed Spendings for each Line.

Profit center change in product cost collector

Hi All,
I would like to know what precautions we should take for mass changes of profit center corrections in the "Product Cost Collector".
I want to make same profit centers in material master and in product cost collector for that we need some report on "Product Cost Collector" or table name so that we may compare the profit center in material master and Product cost collector in order to make them in sink.
Regads,
Raj

Hi All,
My query is from which T-code of product cost collector or any table by i get matrial and profit center combination.
Also i would like to know any precaution if any change of profit center in material master for product cost collector (privious is X cost center and now i am changing to say Y).
Regds,

Assesment To Product Cost Collector

Dear All
Do you know how to do assesment from cost center to Product cost Collector based on activity quantity that input by Production planning modul?
Thanks

Dear Shankar,
As you explained it's not possible to perform GI through MIGO or MB1A against a product cost collector.
In case if you want to post the extra component consumption,use component backflush radio button in
MFBF and select do you want to post as per the BOM components(select the radio button for Propose
components according to BOM) or else you can enter the components manually (by selecting the radio
button for No BOM explosion).
I hope through this can post the components,because the cost gets booked in the product cost collector.
Check and revert

Product Costing on Order

Dear COPC Guru,
In PM order, the component tab, there are the material and required quantity , currently default setup is the plan cost = MAP * this quantity. I would like to use other quantity field,could you advice, any proper to do it. where I can define another plan quantity field so that product costing on service order can calculate plan cost based on this customized quantity.
thanks in advance.
Cathy

Dear two,
Thanks, the reason I need to have this is because the company need to compare targeted ( or planned) quantity versus the actual part consumption. and the targeted/planned is pre-defined every beginnning of the year.
Can I have your opinion, how to achieve this, thanks.

Difference between three types of product costs

Hi,
SAP Masters
can any bode explain the what is the difference between product cost by period, product cost by sale order and the third one is there and also please esplain the master recipe

Dear Kavya,
__1.Product Cost by Period:__
Product cost Collector:
1.Product Cost collector is one of the master data in REM scenario.
2.Product Cost collector is used as a cost object in REM scenario,which means all the cost will be booked under this product
cost collector for that material which is nothing but period based costing.
3.Whatever the confirmations that are done in MFBF or MF41 or MF42N,the cost will get debited or credited accordingly for that
material and the impact will be seen in the product cost collector.
4.This product cost collector will be having an order number which will be used for order settlement and variance calculation.
5.For creating a product cost collector you will require a production version.
6.so whenever you do an assembly or activity or component backflush,the cost will be booked under this product cost collector.
2.Master Recipe:
This comes under PP-PI,where Process order's are used for production.
The master recipe is used for the manufacture of products or for rendering services.
Structure
A master recipe consists of a header and several operations, each of which is carried out at a primary resource. An operation
is subdivided into phases.
A master recipe contains process control data that can be stored in the following way:
· in the form of characteristic-based process instructions, which you define in the operation overview for the phases.
· in the form of XSteps, that you maintain in the XStep editor ( XSteps).

Now I want to calculate the cost of the production cost. So i got the material cost, activity cost ,overhead cost from coep. But are these cost the actual cost or plan cost ? AND where can i get the variance cost between plann cost and actual cost?
thank you!

Product Costing - Quantity Structure Off not working

Hi All,
I have a Material of Type FERT. It has a BOM of its own. When I do the product costing of this material for costing variant PPC4, it always explodes the BOM, irrespective of its status of Indicator "With Quantity Structure" in its Material Master.
Note:
1. Costing Variant PPC4 has Indicator "Ignore Product Cost Estimate Without Quantity Structure" set OFF.
2. BOM is exploded irrespective of the Procurement Type.
Pl suggest a way to cost FERT Material without Qty. Structure (no explosing of BOM, instead directly pick the cost from the FERT Mat Master)
Br,
Vasu

HI,
1. FYI, if you maintain procuretype as E or X, then explosion of BOM happen. If you maintain F, it is possible to explode the bom.
2. Let me say, as per the below reqt, you want to pick up the value from the material master itselt. So, i assume, you maintain future price or planned price in accounting view.
If that is the case, then change the costing variant with T code OKKN and in the valuation variant button with strategy sequence start with Future price from accoutnign or current Planned price.
Please let me know if you expect any clarification in this regard

Product Cost Collector

Dear All,
I have four different prod. version of a single material and i am using product cost collector as Repetitive manufacturing is there.
so i make 4 product cost collectors and run preliminary cost estimates for all these versions. and also i have run standard cost estimates for one version (001)to settle standard cost on material. So whenever i run kkbc_pko report for planned vs actual cost analysis then if in actual i am using version 004 for PRODUCTION, THEN TARGET COST COMES FROM VERSION 001 (FROM STANDARD COSTING RUN ) AND ACTUAL FROM VERSION 004. which arises so many variances.
actually i want to have target cost from same version and also actual cost from same version so that i can see actual variance.
How is it possible.

Dear Shoaib,
Plz Refer the below link
[Standard cost estimate run with more than one PV;
Hope the above helps you

Product cost by period

hello gurus,
Can anyone please tell me the what are the configuration is required to Product cost by period
thanks
rihana

Dear Rihana,
In my understanding product cost by period will be used in a REM scenario(Repetitive manufacturing).
The product cost collector serves as the cost collecting object and for each Semifinished or finished product for which
confirmation(backflush through T Code MFBF) are made a product cost collector should exist.
Product cost collector will be generally created for Order type RM01 and number ranges has to be defined.
Each product cost collector has a number and using the no,the variance and the cost will be settled periodically.
Product cost collectors will be created using T Code KKF6N or KKF6M and the preliminary cost estimate can be done through
MF30.

Mangalraj.S

Essence of product cost collectors

In REM
what is essence of product cost collector (KKF6n), {As I understand production cost collectors
are cost carrying elements}, but needs to have more insights like how it captures
production costs ( i.e through activities, price maintained in accounting view....)
Does it make any difference if product cost collector is executed before MRP run, or it has
to be executed only after MRP run

Dear Eshwer,
1.Product Cost collector is one of the master data in REM scenario.
2.This product cost collector is no where related to MRP.
3.Product Cost collector is used as a cost object in REM scenario,which means all the cost will be
booked under this product cost collector for that material.
4.Whatever the confirmations that are done in MFBF or MF41 or MF42N,the cost will get debited or
credited accordingly for that material and the impact will be seen in the product cost collector.
5.This product cost collector will be having an order number which will be used for order settlement and
variance calculation.
6.For creating a product cost collector you will require a production version.
7.so whenever you do an assembly or activity or component backflush,the cost will be booked under
this product cost collector.
8.So as such there's no relation between MRP and a product cost collector.
I hope this pints will help you to some extent.
Revert back with your further queries.

Procurement Type X , and not using mix product costing.

Hi,
Does anyone know if I set the procurement type X in the material master and not planning to do mix costing, is it possible to configure product costing to either internal or external cost estimate with procurement type X?

Hi Alice,
You can configure product costing even though you have not maintained costing view in the material master. I guess this is what you want to know.
Please confirm.
