Cost component view German instead of English

When I display product cost estimate with quantity structure. Under the tab costs all the cost component view description show up in German. In our development and test client they show up fine in English. I don't know if this problem has any thing to do with costing at all but I was just wondering if any of you faced this problem and how did you solve the issue. If this is not the forum can you please point me to where should I pose this question.
Regards

Hi NIK83,
When a cost estimate and its itemization is saved in txn CK11N, the text of the items is only written in one language to database table CKIT. So if somebody who was logged on in German created and saved the cost estimate, everybody who displays this cost estimate in CK13N will  see German texts. This is the design of the database tables. If there would be texts           
for the items in every language installed in your system, the data volume would increase significantly.                                                                               
However, you can change the layout of the itemization and the cost structure by adding certain columns, e.g. material description, with the English texts. You can save this layout and make it available to all users.

  • Standard Costing : CK11N (Inconsistent Cost Component Views)

    Hi,
    I have created the cost sheet with below information:
    A) Material
    B) + Labour
    C) +Indirect Labour (% of Labour)
    D) + Utilities
    E) + Production overhead (% of Material)
    F) Cost of Goods Manufactured (Total of A to E)
    G) Admin overhead (% of COGM)
    H) Sales overhead (% of COGM)
    I)  Cost of Goods Sold (F to H)
    Also Cost component structure is maintained accordingly with the cost elements applicable to above mentioned components.
    When I run the cost estimate for the FG/SFG, cost is calculated in the expected way consindering all the components mentione above and displayed in "Itemisation" View.
    But the problem has been in the Cost component view of costing run.
    I have activated only three views i.e. Cost of Goods Manufactured , Cost of Goods Sold and Sales and Admininstration Cost.
    1. Costs are not appearing under the respective components correctly.
    2. Sales and administration cost component is displaying Material cost instead of the overhead
    3. Utilities is having very high cost (not the sum of costs appearing in itemisation)
    4. Component Material is totally disappeared and not visible.
    I request experts to comment on this disparity and suggest the steps that need to be taken for getting the right cost compnent views.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi
    Check cost elements assigned to structure.  For this go to transaction code OKTZ and select your CCS and double click on Assignment Cost Component-Cost element interval.

  • Display Dept. amount in Std cost estimate cost component view

    Dears,
    During implementation of Repetitive manufacturing, my customer Requirement is to have 4 activity types:
    1- Utilities : (Elect-water-GAS ... Etc)
    2- Labor : (salary - bonus ..Etc)
    3- Depreciation : (Depreciation exp)
    4- other : like (maintenance .. Etc)
    he wants that so he can know this classification of the above costs liek depreciation per material in the standard cost estimate so my question is:
    Is it applicable to display the above requirement and using only 2 activity types
    Labour and machine
    and use the cost component structure to display the above req ?
    as an example:
    in CK11N : if i switch to cost component view to display the depreciation amount and Etc
    Thanks and best Regards,
    Ahmed Samir

    Salaam Ahmad
    You have both choices.
    You can go with 4 act types or go with 2 and use costing sheet for the other costs
    I will prefer 4 act types

  • CK13N Break up of Mat,labor,Oh in Cost component view / itemisation differ

    Material Costed having an Multilevel BOM.
    We had the issue like cost component view and itemization view , did not Match. So higher level material is costed again.
    Now The total are almost the same between the Components View and the Itemization View, but the breakdown (Matl, Labor, Overhead) is not the same.
    Material 484, Labor14, OH59 as per cost component view .
    Material 506 , Labor9, OH43 as per Itemization view.
    Now why since it was just re-rolled difference exist in Break down
    Regards
    Poopandian

    Do you have any semi finished procut in between costed material and raw material.
    Do not forget cost component view is rolled up to higher level with its detail . For example
    for finished produt A = 100 (total cost)
    materail SF 80
    Labor          20
    but  detail of material semi finished SF = 80
    material RM (raw mat) 60
    lanor = 20
    Nor For A cost component
    material in general = 60
    labour = 40
    but in itemization of A you can see
    material = 80
    labour =20

  • CK13N Cost component view COGM

    HI,
    Am having CCS item 10 - RM  20- SFG 30 - Labour activity
    While creating Standard cost estimate for semifinished goods am getting RM cost & Activity cost separately & correctly.
    But if am doing SCE for finished goods the item 20- SFG consumption is not getting effected. Values are posting to item 10 - RM based on the proportionate qty maintained in BOM.
    I have assigned the SFG consumption GL a/c in the item 20 but am not getting the value there.
    Kindly help us to solve this issue.
    Thanks

    I think I'm a little confused about what you are really asking.  Your question talks about the cost component view of the cost estimate, but your example looks like you are look interested in booking an accrual for marketing expense at time of goods receipt.
    For the cost component view, once you define your cost component you need to assign the appropriate cost elements or origin groups to that component in (OKTZ).  So the question is what cost element or origin group will represent the marketing cost and how will those costs be assigned to the cost estimate.  One way to do this is by allocating your marketing costs via a costing sheet and then the cost element assigned to the cost component would be the secondary cost element you used for the overhead allocation.  If you did that then you should see a value for the cost component when you view the cost estimate in CK13N.
    However, back to your example.  If looks like you are trying to book an accrual for marketing expense at time of goods reciept.  In that case, you can maintain purchasing pricing conditions that can copy into your purchase orders.  These condition records would contain the amount of the marketing accrual.  It's also possible to map the condition type to an origin group and then you can assign the orgin group to your cost component.  So if you maintain condition records for the pricing conditions you can assign them to the marketing cost component and those costs would show in your cost estimate as well.
    thanks,

  • Query Designer - Dimension texts in German instead of English

    Hi,
    I have an Infoset based on two DSOs and two Master Data info Objects.
    When this Infoset is opened in Query Designer to create a new query, it is been observed that Dimension text from the DSOs is  displayed in German while the texts from Master Data Info Objects is in English.
    We do not have problem with any other infosets.
    What could be the problem? What settings are required here for the text to be displayed in English.
    Profiles are set to English Language.
    Thanks in advance

    Just a correction to the observation made: All the infosets have similar problem.

  • Actual Cost component split - Per PO

    Dear ML Experts,
    We have activated Material Ledger and Actual costing/ Actual cost component split in our implementation. The standard cost is based on delivery costs and there is no manufacturing involved. In order to test ML, we created some POs and did a GR and IR for those POs. When I look at the Material Price analysis on the Price Determination Structure View, I can see the Price differences per transaction (Goods receipt, Invoice receipt).
    But when I go to the Cost component View (Actual), I cannot drill down into the individual transactions. I am able to see the actual cost component split only at the summarized level across multiple transactions. I can see the category Purchase Order under Receipts, but I am unable to drill down to see the actual cost component split for the individual transactions (goods receipts, invoice receipts).  Did I miss anything on the configuration? The client wants to see the price differences per cost component per transaction and actual cost component split per transaction.
    Is it possible to view this information using standard configuration? Would I have to change the controlling level in order to achieve this?
    Can you please provide your advice?
    Thanks,
    Balram

    Hi Balram.
    If you have access to an IDES system, you can see a Cost Component split like this:
    As fas as I know, this is only for educational porpouses. In the standard System, its not recomended have the detail of the split per movement, due to the huge amount of data genereted. There is a Flag that control this, in a Txxx table (i dont have access to the system right now).
    If you really want this functionality, write SAP in the marketplace, and I guess their response is exactly what im saying.

  • Primary cost component split not happening

    Hello Experts,
    I am trying to create a Primary cost component split for Products with following settings
    1. Creation of Primary cost component structure "1N" and marking it as Primary cost component
    2. Assigning the Primary cost elements to the Cost component structure
    3. Assigning the Primary cost component structure for the Company code and Plant
    4. Assigning the Primary cost component structure to "Version" under "Price calculation" tab.
    5. Activity type with Activity type category "1- Manual entry, Manual allocation" and Price Indicator "1 - Plan price, automatically based on activity"
    6. Activity output planning for Cost center
    7. Primary cost planning for the Cost centers
    8. Activity price calculation. (Update run) - Prices are changed in KP26 also
    9. After all the above steps I checked report S_ALR_87013644, Plan price is existing in the report as mentioned in SAP note: 1658589
    After all the above steps, I tried running Cost estimate for a product. I am getting the error message
    Cost element 90001 is not assigned to a cost component
    Message no. CK239
    Also, I am getting a message
    No structure could be determined for internal activity TEB (M0001)
    Message no. CK694
    Therefore the Cost component is showing only the Material component.
    Where "90001" is a secondary cost element. I am not sure why system is still searching for Secondary cost element where we have assigned Primary cost component structure. I also ensured that Primary cost elements used in planning are all assigned to a Component in Cost component structure.
    I checked for SAP note "1736332", which is not applicable for my system version. Current version of SAP_APPL is  Release 606 and Support package SAPKH60607.
    Please help. Am I missing any settings.
    Thank you in advance.
    Muneer Ahamed N

    Hi Muneer,
    Please check whether you have maintained cost center splitting structure properly and assigned to the respective cost center for which you have maintained output planning and input planning.
    This splitting structure is much required because there only we maintain the relationship between primary cost elements and activities.
    Coming to your first message, yes system expects maintenance of secondary cost elements also in the cost component structure which is not primary CCS.
    Inorder to show primary cost component structure view:
    First, system calculates the direct activity cost in terms of secondary cost elements...
    Next, it verifies the cost center splitting structure you made,
    Then, system is going to convert the direct activity cost in terms of primary cost elements based on the splitting structure and Finally displays the primary cost component view
    I suppose second message speaking about cost center splitting structure only, please go through it carefully
    Other than these whatever the process you specified is right only..
    Regards...

  • Cost Component mismatch in CK11N

    Hi,
    When I display Material Cost estimate with Qty Struc (CK11N), the cost component split that is displayed is not the one tha's been defined in the costing variant.
    Note: there is only 1 C.Comp - say X1. Struc defined in OKTZ.  Yet the behaviour is strange.
    Example 1: 
    CE 110000 is assigned to CComp 10 in OKTZ.   
    Now, in CK11N,  CE 110000 has 10 euro fixed cost & 15 euro variable cost (total 25 euros)
    But in the cost component view it shows only the Variable cost 15 euros under CComp 10 
    (and remaining 10 euros is shown under different cost comp 20.)
    X1 is already assigned in the costing variant and is rightly picked up in CK11N.. However the Fixed & Variable costs do not match with the cost elements.
    looking for pointers to resolve this..
    Thanks & Regards,
    Jai

    Hello Jayaram,
    thanks for the response.
    The Control Share allows both Fixed and Variable Costs.
    In fact, in the CK11N, in the itemization, we have the values for both fixed & variable in the Cost Elements.. but not in C.Comp 10.
    The other/addition info : a) CCS was not changed  b) Material Ledger is not active
    Appreciate if you can provide further support.
    regards,
    Jai

  • Raw Material Costing with Actual Cost Component Split

    Hi All
    I have requirement to split inventory RM Value with material component and Freight cost, all config done and looks well if I check at CKM3N cost component view, material cost $100 and Freight $20, I GR the inventory with freight cost, since I'm using actual costing when journal freight cost go to Price Difference account. But after actual costing closing why the system can't split the variance update to freight cost component? is this the standard SAP behaviour?
    Please help for the solution
    Regards
    Luiz

    I see that you want to split your material cost and freight cost. you need to check the following:
    Is your current standard cost estimate support this structure i.e do you have seperate cost components for RM and Freight.
    If not first you need to change cost component structure and as mentioned by owen you to map the purchase condition type to the origin group and cost component structure.
    Then system will do the same for the actual costing

  • How Cost component Determines The Correct Cost Elements?

    Hi,
    In the cost component views i have cost element XXX is mapped to cost component Local raw materials and cost element YYY to imported raw materials and my local raw materials are linked to BSX inventory accounts of ZZZ. In this regard i have the following questions :-
    1) When i create cost estimates (t.code CK11N) for a local raw material the system is showing this costs correctly under local raw material cost component, how the system know that this is local raw material and not an imported raw material? Because no where in the config settings i have mapped cost element XXX to local raw materials because XXX is a consumption cost element. The only config i have maintained for this raw material is linking it to the ZZZ account which is the balance sheet stock account. So how the system will determine this particular material is linked to cost element XXX and not YYY?

    Hi,
    Please check assignment cost component structure your assign the purticular cost element your assigned that cost element is showing the costing sheet in ck11n report for ram material import or local.

  • Cost component or cost roll-up issue

    Hi
    This is with reference to new issue that surfaced in costing recently.  In the company I am working for cost component structure setup is like this : 1) raw material is considered as variable cost 2) activity as fixed and when it rolls-up cost of semifinished will have both fixed and variable since fixed and variable are active for semifinished and that's way its set up for finished goods.
    The above set up was designed based upon existing business process.  As per that process raw material is always procured from external vendor.  Recently for the one of the new plant the process changed a bit i.e. raw material is manufactured.  Now the manufactured and purchased raw material flows to same GL account.  With the existing set up the system allowed to create product estimate and PREM cost for both manufactured and purchased raw material.  But recently the system started giving an error saying that fixed cost field is not activated for raw material.  The error makes sense but we don't understand how it worked before and what triggered this error now.
    Did anybody come across this issue?
    Thanks
    Joseph

    Hi,
    May be for the material in new plant, you may have some fixed cost , through some activity type etc.. Please check.
    You can always change your cost component in OKTZ to allow for fixed cost also. But we careful while doing this , as after this you wont be able to see the pased saved data in cost component view. As based on cost component strcuture SAP alling the cost value field in KEPH table and it fixed and variable are stored in two different vaue field in KEPH.
