Cost element for materials in network profile

Dear All,
Want to use material planning field in internal activity under assignment tab. But I have the following queries
What is the cost element that I have to mention in network profile under internal activity?
If I mention the cost element in network profile and plan my internal activity in initial stage and later on if I assign material to internal activity will the  Plan cost of that internal activity increases by the material added to that activity.
  3.  under OBYC materials have different cost elements based upon valuation class. so how the planned vs actuals will be show in the report.

Avinash

Hi Avinash,
See my replies below.
1 a & B: You are planning Qty on NWA and capturing costs - labor & Equipment on NWA elements.
When  you are having elaborated to NWA-Element level, split your total work on each NWA-element and post labor cost. Thus you will have planned Vs actual costs at one place.
coming to equipment cost - are you capturing using PO through GR?.
2.a : Option1- create a separate WBS elements for materials and plan cost at WBS level. That value would be your total planned cost of material procurement as estimated. Under this WBS elements create NWAs and assign the materials. With this set up you can assign material and procure so that will have actual costs coming from GR.
Option 2: Create a one General Cost activity and assign the total planned cost of material on this NWA.
When you assign the material components, diligently you have to reduce the equivalent amount from the general costs activity. Also note that on component screen, you have to check box "Cost relevant" so that material cost will add to Cost NWA. Let the different materials  have their own valuation class and have default CEs accordingly. that would not be big issue.
Please discuss with your MM team to get more information. Also my suggestion is to leave blank CE field in configuration.
The option2 is very cumbersome and high risk but one have to be very cautious to reduce the value from Cost NWA in order to sustain the planned material costs whenever they added.
3. I have answered the relevance of Cost relevance check box in above.
Hope above makes sense.
Thanks,

  • Report Painter Drilldown on Cost Element for Project Systems

    I am currently working on a report for Project Systems. I am trying to copy the functionality of the Internal Order summary (60I2-001) into report group 6P3. I was able to copy the whole layout and also the values of 6oI2-001 into a copy of 6PP4-001 but when I double click on "Balance" it is bringin up the ALV report that 6PP4-001 is using. I would like to call another report which looks like 6LS0-001 but contains Project System info made in report painter when I double click on Balance. Is this possible? Please let me know how.

  • Cost elements for WIP (TCODE : OKGA)

    Hi All,
    I am working with Production Order wip calculation, varaince and settlement.
    In the RA key configuraion,(for WIP calculation)In OKGA, tcode we define, the cost elements for a perticular line id, for WIP calculation.
    I wanted to know, what is the purpose of these two cost elements.
    If I execute line item report, I dont see any value on these cost elements, after wip calc and settlement.
    However, I see the work in process on it, in the layout. I want to know, the exact purpose of these cost elements assignment.
    Is there any internal controlling document that is getting posted?
    Regards
    SR

    Hi Swastik,
    Those cost elements (category 31) are used to calculate and store WIP values at the detailed level of so called line IDs.
    Line IDs are groups of cost elements that were posted to production order.
    For example you can calculate and store WIP separately for Raw Materials, Semis, Activities and overhead.
    You can also settle them to different GL Accounts via mapping in txn.OKG8.
    Hope it helps,

  • Is there a way to bypass activity type/ cost element for CJ20n Activity?

    Hi Experts,
    Is there a way to bypass the activity type set in the Internal tab of a particular activity in CJ20n?
    Here's a background of the scenario:.
    - In CJ20n, under WBS element 100->Network 10->Activity 1, under the internal tab, the activity type set up is ACT1
    - Under person assignment, I have 2 resources assigned Person 1 and Person 2, with the following values:
      Person 1          Work: 1.0h Dur. 10D
      Person 2          Work: 2.0h Dur. 15D
    - In infotype 135, person 1 has a cost element set as ACT2 and person 2 has a cost element ACT3.
    - The problem is that when you bring up the Plan/ Actual comparision report (ctrl+F11 in CJ20n), the costs are consolidated for ACT1 and negates the cost elements for Person 1 and Person 2
    Is there a way to bypass this and use the individual cost elements set up for person 1 and person 2?

    I dont think this is possible for the scenario that you explained. I mean, you have a single activity which has 2 resources assigned and each of these resources has a different activity type. Standard SAP allows only 1 activity type for an activity.
    Just a query, why dont you create 2 different activities for these resources since the activity types are diff for both?

  • Two Cost Element for the same GL

    Hi,
    We have 2 Company Codes - 1000 & 2000. We are using same CoA in both the Company Codes. We have a GL, say 12345678 for posting short/excess amount. So during MIRO, the accounting entry would be:
    GR/IR a/c dr.          10,000
    GL 12345678                  2
                       Vendor            10,002
    GL 12345678 would be dr or Cr would depend on short/excess amount.
    We have created Cost Element for this GL 12345678. If I post the MIRO without attaching a Cost Center to this Cost Element system thows an error to attach the Cost Center. I have separate Cost Center for Company Codes 1000 & 2000 however I can only put one Cost Center in this Cost Element.
    Can anyone advice how can I post the above mentioned entry with different Cost Center. This line item (GL 12345678) is generated automatically and the Cost Center field is greyed out hence I don't have option to enter the Cost Center during MIRO. I checked the FSG of this GL, Cost Center field is 'Optional' over there.
    Thanks,
    Sandy

    Solution Option* -You can  assign Differant Cost Centers to Company Code 1000 and Company Code 2000 in OKB9 Transaction Code.Follow the  below process....
    --- Go to OKB9
    --- Select New Entries button
    --- Give the Company Code 1000 in first row and 2000 in 2nd row
    --- Enter the Cost element 12345678 for company code 1000 and 2000
    --- Enter the relevent cost centers  for company code 1000 and 2000
    --- Select Save

  • How to get Cost element for a component in co03 cost analysis report

    Hi,
    I'm using table COSP to find the quantity for a production order component.  However, I need to identify the cost element first to get the unique data.  In CO03 cost analysis report, there is cost element for the component.  Does anyone know how to get it ?
    Thanks.

    CSKA stores the basic info about the cost element
    There is no data in CSKB.
    I'm trying to use different tables to get the cost element.

  • Define a settlement cost element for receiver type FXA

    Hi,
    While settling the AUC internal order,i am gettingg the below error.Kindly advice me
    Define a settlement cost element for receiver type FXA
    Message no. KD506
    Diagnosis
    In allocation structure A1 (controlling area AFCO), you did not define which cost element should be used when settling costs/revenues of the sender. Nor did you define receiver type FXA.
    Procedure
    Assign a different allocation structure to the settlement sender (-> Master data -> Settlement rule -> Goto -> Settlement parameters), or maintain allocation structure A1.
    Thanks
    Supriya

    Hi Supriya,
    Go to SPRO-> Controlling > Internal orders>Actual postings>Settlement> Maintain Allocation structures & choose A1 and go to assignment, select the relevant category like raw material / consumption and then go to source, check the range of cost elements first then click the settlement cos t element and under that choose FXA and define the settlement cost element which must be created under 22 category.
    After maintainig the above, you will not get the error anymore.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Define a settlement cost element for receiver type CTR

    Hi, i work for real estate company and we just implemented SAP. were on our process of closing our books and we are tied by error during PS settlement. House repair, which is an income statement account and cost element as well, are monitored in Project Systems with settlement rule set to GL. Postings will initially be posted as Project Cost WBS and will be settled to house repair GL. however, someone advised us that only balance sheet accounts should be settled to GL. Cost and expenses should be settled to Cost Center and so we changed the configuration and business process to posting costs directly to GL house repair and settlemet rule is to be settled to CTR. After the change in configurations and settlement rule, we still cannot process settlement due to this error "Define a settlement cost element for receiver type CTR". Please help, i may have missed a step in system configurations. Thanks thanks

    Define a settlement cost element for receiver type CTR
    Check in OKO6 whether you have defined the required Settlement Cost Element to the allocation structure.
    thanks

  • Can we create a cost element for a Balance Sheet account?

    Hi folks,
    Is it possible to create a cost element for a balance sheet account? If yes, what are the scenerios we would need it and how is it done?
    thanks in advance

    Hello
    Please review the below information regarding cost elements category 90 : Financial Accounting Balance Sheet Accounts                                                                               
    Category 90  is automatically assigned when you create cost elements in CO whose   general ledger accounts in FI are asset reconciliation accounts            
    (special balance sheet accounts), not income statement accounts. You       
    cannot change this category in CO master data maintenance.                                                                               
    FI does not require CO account assignments to cost elements of             
    category 90. However, if you enter an account assignment, it is only       
    recorded statistically for real objects.                                                                               
    Category 90 allows you to check order or project budgets for fixed         
    asset procurement. To do so, enter the investment order or WBS element     
    in the corresponding field in the asset master. The Asset Management       
    component ensures that the order or element automatically appears in       
    the document when you access the asset procurement.                        
    The R/3 System debits the order/WBS element statistically in the           
    Controlling component, which you can then monitor with availability        
    control.                                                                   
    You can treat cost elements of category 90 as activity-independent as      
    part of cost center planning. 
    Also see note 75980  for further information.  From the note:
      The use of cost element category 90 is only provided in the standard        
      system in the following two cases:                                                                               
    1.  As of Release 3.0G, asset acquisitions and down payments which are      
          assigned directly to a fixed asset or asset under construction can      
          be assigned to an account on internal orders or WBS elements            
          statistically. In this manner, for example, an availability check       
          can be triggered on the order or the WBS element for asset posting.                                                                               
    2.  As of Release 4.0, cost elements of category 90 can also be created     
          for material stock accounts to display material make-to-order stocks    
          on sales orders or customer projects.

  • Costing run for materials with special procurement key

    Hello,
    Since moving to ECC6, the costing run for materials with special procurement keys is not pulling the marked price from the materials the special procurement keys point to. Only the released prices are pulled.
    Example:
    Material A, plant A has a future price (costing 2 tab) of 100 and a current price of 99
    Material A, plant B has special procurement key Z1 (costing 1 tab) which pulls the costing from Material A, plant A
    In our old system (46c) the costing run for Material A, plant B would pull 100.
    In ECC6, the costing run for Material A, plant B pulls 99
    Anyone that can push me in the right direction?

    Hi,
    Based on the info provided thus far, the result that you notice in ECC 6.0 is right as it is picking the current standard price based on your setup.
    Now why it is picking the future price in 4.6c, well for that you will have to do a detail check as in which variant is being used etc. I would suggest you to work with your CO personnel on this. Do a costing run for this particular material via CK11n using the variant which you mentioned & see the results.
    Or if you can upload the screenshots (picasaweb or some other portal) of the valuation variant you're using in 4.6c, along with Acctng view 1 & 2, costing view 1 & 2 details of the material it would help to have a better understanding.

  • Want to change the cost element for a activity type (KP26)

    Hi,
    I want to change the Allocation cost element for an activity type in KP26. I have already changed the cost element in the activity master data in KL02. Now i want to change it in KP26. I am trying to delete the existing line item in KP26  to create the new line item with the new cost element, but system not allowing to delete the existing one. It throws the error message ""Allocations with XXXXXXX/XXXX (Cost center/Activity type)  exist ; deletion not possible". Can someone please help me to change the cost element?
    Regards
    Dev

    Hi Rao and Lalit,
    Thanx for you people for helping me. i havin gone doubt here. If i am deleting the existing line in KP26 and create new line with appropriage cost element will it be cause the existing datas? I don't want to go for another activity type, because our process is a complex process exist all over the world in more than 300 company codes. So i want to use the existing activity type but want to change the allocation cost element alone. Is there any possibility to change the cost element alone?

  • RA method 15 ignoring certain Cost of Sales Cost Elements for its calculat

    Hi,
    We are using RA method 15 to calculate revenue accruals for costs posted to a WBS element, but not yet billed.
    We normally have cost of sales being posted to a GL / Primary Cost Element (type 1) 601000, with quantities, which is then picked up by RA correctly and which adjust the revenue accruals accordingly.
    We are using a further GL / primary cost element (type 1) to post manual adjustments to (602000). This also has quantities posted to it. This is included in the configuration in OKG5, with the same settings as the cost element 601000.
    For some reason, this account is not being included in the RA calculation.
    does anyone have any ideas why this might be the case?
    Many thanks in anticipation

  • Cost component structure - cost elements for FERT and HALB (TC:OKTZ)?

    Hi all,
    our cost component structure has the following structure (TC: OKTZ):
    1 Raw materials
    2 Human ressources
    3 Production
    4 Material Overhead
    5 Production overhead
    6 external activity
    (this settings are conform with SAP standard - copy from cost comp. structure 01)
    To cost comp 1 "raw material" we assigend the relevant (primary) cost elements (consumption raw mat, e,g, steel, wood...).
    My question is: In case we insert/post e.g. a semi-finished product to the production order from stock (accor. bill of material), where (in which cost comp.) do I have to assign the relevant cost element? I guess this should be the account "inventory change unfinished product? (maintain in TC: OBYC for transaction BSV according val. class)
    Is it correct to assign this cost element to cost comp structure "raw material", because actually it is a semi finished product which is picked up from stock to convert /process further? To problem is, if this cost element is not assigned I get an error in CK11N/CK40N
    I hope my wording is not to abstract...
    Thanks in advance...

    Hi..
    You don’t need to consider the cost element of production order settlement and production notification.
    Cost component structure need the cost element of production order’s debit.
