Cost Run should not be getting executed on Material with Price Control V

Raw & Packing materials are with price control V in MM as company wants to keep them on moving average cost. Somehow finance users executed cost run on one such material and cost run was executed and the difference was posted in price difference. As far as I know, system shouldn't be allowing cost run on materials other than those having S as price control.
Question is: How to ensure system sends error if cost run is attempted to be executed on materials with Price Control V?

Hi
If you are executing cost run using CK40N, it releases the cost for all the materials i.e. both for the header and the components
the components may be usually valuated at V. So, the std price update for these will be only for information purposes and it wont revaluate your inventory for sure... This cant post to price difference.... Price diff upon std cost release will apply only to those materials which have price control S
However, if you dont want to release the cost for V items, you can specify them in the exclusion list... In Ck40N selection parameters you specify your plant/material, etc... While specifying the materials to be costed in the multiple selection screen, , you can also specify the ones not to be. Then std cost wont be released in those cases

Production costs for material with price control V

Dear all,
Can anyone pls tell me, how will the costing occur for a material produced in-house and having price control 'V' ? I am not able to see the target costs.
Also kindly tell me the settings to be done in CO, like target cost version, valuation variant, costing variant, etc.
Thank you,
Shrenik

Rather than giving my own versions I have compiled here SAP inputs. Pl let me know if you require any clarifications:
Costing variant has the following components:
<b>Define Costing Types
Define Valuation Variants
Define Date Control
Define Quantity Structure Control
Define Transfer Strategy
Define Reference Variants</b>
<u>Costing type:</u>
In the costing type, you define the purpose of a material cost estimate by specifying, for example, which field in the material master record the costing results can be transferred to:
Update Cost Estimate
Standard price Standard cost estimate (01)
Tax-based price Inventory cost estimate
Commercial price Inventory cost estimate
Price other than std price Modified standard cost estimate or
current cost estimate
No update Any cost estimate
Define Valuation Variants:
Define Valuation Variants
Here you create a valuation variant containing the parameters required for valuation of a cost estimate.
You also specify which costing sheet should be used to calculate overhead.
Valuation Strategies
Material valuation
Here you define the sequence in which the system searches for prices from the accounting view or costing view of the material master record to valuate materials. You can also access prices from purchasing info records and condition types.
For material cost estimates, you also specify whether additive costs can be added to the selected price.
With configurable/configured material components and with procurement alternatives, the sequence defined here is ignored if the strategy "price from purchasing info record" was selected, in which case that strategy is always executed first. For more information, refer to the SAP Library in the component Product Cost Planning under Raw Material Costing or Mixed Costing.
Activity Types / Processes
Here you define the sequence in which the system searches for prices in activity type planning or actual activity price calculation in Cost Center Accounting or Activity-Based Costing to valuate the utilized activity types and business processes.
You also specify which plan/actual version is used.
Subcontracting
Here you define the sequence in which the system searches for prices in the purchasing info record. In purchasing, quota arrangements are used to create a mixed price for materials that are manufactured with external vendors with parts provided by the customer. You can specify whether the quota of the individual vendors that are entered in the source list for the material to be processed should be determined through the planned quota arrangement or the actual quota arrangement.
External processing
Here you define the sequence in which the system searches for prices in the purchasing info record or routing operation for valuation of the external activities.
Strategy Sequence
You define the individual valuation methods for the valuation variant as strategy sequences. For the valuation of the material components you define a strategy sequence that reads the fields of the material master record in a particular sequence such as:
1. Planned price 1
2. Standard price
3. Moving price
The first price that is not zero is used to valuate the material component.
Target versions:
Target cost versions are used in the following ways:
In variance calculation:
To control which variance (total variance, production variances or planning variance) is calculated
To valuate unplanned scrap( scrap variance)
Unplanned scrap is valuated in the period-end closing activities when the variances are calculated. You can specify in a valuation variant for WIP and scrap which cost estimate you want to use to calculate the target costs for the valuation of unplanned scrap. You assign the valuation variant to target cost version 0 if you want to include it in the valuation of scrap.
When you are using a cost object hierarchy with active distribution, you use the target cost version to control which cost estimate the system uses to calculate the target costs, which are used as the basis for determining equivalences for actual cost distribution.
The actual costs collected at the level of the hierarchy are distributed across the orders in accordance with these equivalences. This distribution is proportional to the target costs for the cost element under which the actual costs are written. Actual costs for material costs are distributed in proportion to the target costs for the origin group, such as for the material, if you have entered an origin group in the costing view of the material master record and have set the indicator Material origin, for example.
If no target costs were calculated under this cost element, enter a cost element group in the target cost version. The actual costs are distributed in proportion to the target costs for this cost element group. This cost element group should be complete. If costs were updated under a cost element that is not in this cost element group, no distribution is possible.
You can calculate equivalences on the basis of SAP standard target cost versions 0, 1 and 3.
The standard system supplies the following target cost versions:
Target cost version 0 ( total variance)
The amount of the total variance generates a posting in Financial Accounting during settlement.
For this version, select actual costs as the control costs and standard cost estimate as the target costs.
Target cost version 1 ( production variance)
For this version you choose actual costs as the control costs and planned costs as the target costs.
Target cost version 2( planning variance)
With target cost version 2, the costs from the preliminary order cost estimate are interpreted as control costs.
For this version, select planned costs as the control costs and current cost estimate as the target costs. You cannot calculate planning variances for the product cost collector.
Target cost version 3 (production variance of the period)
You compare the planned costs of the period calculated on the basis of an alternative material cost estimate (such as a modified standard cost estimate) with the actual costs of the period on the basis of the yield delivered to stock in the period.
The base quantity for variance calculation is the yield.
For this version, you choose the actual costs as the control costs and the alternative material cost estimate as the target costs. To determine the alternative material cost estimate, enter a costing variant and choose a costing version.
The target cost version specifies which data is to be compared. The target cost version also specifies which variance variant is used and therefore which variance catagories are calculated. You can define a different target cost version for each controlling area

Adding additional costs to Material with price control "V"

Good Morning Gurus
We want to add some additional cost to materials. How to do this ?
These materials are valuated at MAP.
Actually there are some delivery costs which were not inventorised correctly to the materials. The materials are undervaluated, we want to add this additional cost to the materials. We donot want to hit the price control account.
Is there any other way ??
Thanks
Regards

Hi,
You can alter the Costing variant and valuation variant according to your scenario. Check the costing variant in OKKN and valuation variant OKK4. You will find the indicator for additive cost there.

Actual Cost of Product with Price control "S"

Dear Gurus,
Is there any report available where we can know the Actual Costs of Materials with Price Control "S".
In the material master field the actual cost in the "Moving Price Tab" of the material with Price Control "S" is available, but is there any report available for plant level?
Thanks & Regards,
Amit Dhanurdhari.

Hi Amit,
-- Under Standard Costing, you value your inventory at Standard Costs and any variances in Production Process will be settled to Price Difference Account. You will not be able to find out actual cost per unit. In Multi-level BOM scenario under Standard Costing (CO-PC), variances don't get rolled-up to the next level, only costs get rolled-up.
-- Under Actual Costing - Material Ledger, You will be able to find out the Actual Cost per Unit. Variances get rolled-up to the next level.
To explain difference between Standard Costing in CO-PC and Material Ledger briefly....
You have given Price Indicator as "S" in the material master of "X" material (semi finisher or finished) and you are doing Standard Cost Estimate for arriving at Standard Cost per tonne. Let's say, the Standard Cost per tonne is Rs.1000/-
Now, when you created production order for 10 tonnes and received output of 10 tonnes (GR). But the total cost incurred on that production order is Rs.1100/-. In this situation, actual cost per tonne is Rs.110.
But, because you are following Standard Costing, When you post GR against this Production Order, inventory will be posted at Standard cost only, i.e., Rs.1000/-. and the balance of Rs.100 will be posted to Price Difference Account. (and parallally the variance of Rs.100/-) will flow to COPA.
So, it is clear that, though, at Production Order level you can see the actual cost, at "material" level, you will not be able to see the actual cost per tonne.(as long as you are using only Product Costing and Standard Costing)
Alternatively, if you maintain Price Indicator as "V", you will able to get the Actual Cost per tonne at material level, but there will be no scope for establishing standard cost and comparison with actual thereof.
But, the same is possible if you are using Material Ledger (CO-ML). If Material Ledger is active, you will be maintaining "S" in the material master, still, the variances will be settled inventory and you will be able to get the actual cost per tonne. (bothe Standard cost estimate, actual cost per tonne will be possible).
Pls revert back for further explanation

User should not be getting this email

1) An External user sends email to another external user (JSMITH), and to one of my users internally.
2) The external user (JSMITH) gets his email, no problems there. My internal user gets his OK too.
3) But, it's also sending the email to another of my internal users (he's called JSMITH to). He shouldn't be getting it.
Internally, this is how things are defined in my System Address Book;
- I have an external domain that lists all the external addresses we can send to.
- One of them happens to be #2 above, JSMITH, and he's defined as JSMITH.xxx.gc.ca.
- Of course I have the internal GroupWise user JSMITH.postoffice.domain ... whom should not be getting this email.
Looks like some sort of address resolution issue.
Let me know if more info is required to understand this scenario.
DS

>Looks like some sort of address resolution issue.
It sure looks like that.
What version of GWIA are you running and on what platform?
The domain for external JSMITH, confirm that it didn't some how get
added to your systems list of internal domains.
Also useful to check the GWIA logs to see if the message is getting
sent back out to the external JSMITH shortly after it arrives.

CK11n Costing Run does not pull purchasing price from info record.

Hi,
I have material which is a semi finished product (Material type: SEMI) and is purchased from a fixed vendor (specified in the source list).
The costing run does not pick up the purchasing price from the purchasing info record but
instead incorrectly picks up the standard price from the material master (Costing 2 view).
Can you please help me solve this issue?
Thanks,
Ketan

Execute OPL1
or

Select the costing variant in the table from "Change Costing Variant: Overview" Overview Screen
Click Detail Button
Click Valuation Variant Button in the Control Tab
Change View Valaution Variant Detail Screen Appears
In Material Valuation Tab Set Price from Purchase Inforecord as Priority 1 if you want to use Price from Purchase Inforecord for semi-finished product during CK11N
You can list down Priority 2 to 5 depending on your requirement
This would solve your problem

Standard cost estimate could not be found for the material

Dear All,
We have 4 manufacturing plants and 30 sale depots. We are maintaining price control (S) for FG and SFG in Manufacturing plants,price control (V) at depots for the same material code. we are getting an error message " standard cost estimate could not be found for the material" while doing billing at depot.
Please give me suggestion.
Your suggestion should be appreciate.
Thanks in advance............
AND
My client want to see profitability at manufacturing plant level and need break up for the COGM. So how can i get the values of depot sales.
please let me know how to do........

Hai
Price control should be S for Depot also. You need to run standard cost estimate in DEPOT after entering additive cost under CK74N for frieght, excise duty etc. To transfer the standard cost from the source plant you need to make configuration in OMD9 defining the receiver and sender combination so that system can pick up the cost from source plant. This special produrement type needs to be asigned in the material masters of DEPOT under MRP 2 view.

Is it required to cost the materials with Price control "V" ?

Dear All,
Would like to know if we have to consider the items with Price control "V" during the cost run in CK40N..?
Since the system automatically updates the price of the item for price control "V", do we also require to update through cost run?
Please help me understand.
Best regards,
Praveen

Hi,
Materials with price control "V" is dynamically updated with value whenever there is a receipts. The system will calculate average rate by dividing total value by total stock. Hence, cost the materials for this price control is not relevant. It is recommended to have price control "V" for all externally procured materials.

Payment run - should not clear the open item but should post payment doc

Hi Gurus,
Can you please help me , on how to acheive like when payment run F110 post the payment doc it should not close the open item rather keep that open item as open item , but hsould be be paid by payment doc posted through payment run F110.
Have any one of you had similar requirement ..? FICO gurus help me to acheiev this .. any exit /BADI ..or ideas..
Appreciate your help in advance

HI ,
Thanks for your reply , but still I am not clear on that.
reason they want to keep this open to be kept as open item , so that item will be picked up by dunning run ..
Basically the open invoice is being cleared by payment doc which was generated by payment run. If we look at BSEG in the open item record BSEG-AUGBL = will have the clearing doc number , and in addition to that BSEG will have created another record for the clearing doc as well .
May be since open invoice record is being updated with clearing doc (AUGBL ) , I belive its not shown up as open item .
Somehow this item should be kept as open item ... that is the req and also paid item payment reference should be transfered to Bill of exchange as well.
Hope you have clear background of my req...
Tnanks in advance ,

Plan cost of IW31 not updating when MRP4 of Material master is individual requirement

Hi,
When Individal/coll of MRP4 tab of Raw material is 1 Individual requirement, plan cost is not updating in Tcode IW31 Repair order. It is updating when MRP4 is 2 collective requirement.
Please let me know the possible reasons.
Thanks

Yongguo
The behavior you are seeing on your system is correct system behavior.
The system rolls costs/revenues up to the assigned wbs element
if an order or network activity is flagged for deletion so you
can archive orders/networks while the project is still 'alive' without
loosing information on costs/revenues.
The logic is that costs of deleted networks should not get lost but are
rolled up to the superior wbs-element.
SAP has the understanding that released activities are used immediately,
carry actual costs and, therefore, can not be deleted. To keep the
objects clearly arranged the reorganization run can be used to move
some objects (those with status DLFL) to the archive without losing
data (in the meaning of costs).
If you want to remove these costs of the WBS elements you have
to cancel the deletion flag of these networks, remove the planned costs
start network costing and save. You can then set the DLFL again and
the costs will not appear in the structure report.
Hope this helps.
Best regards
Martina

RE: Pr release , it should not be editalble like qty, material.

Dear Sap experts,
In Pr , After the release Pr , it should not be editable like material & Qty.
Thanks

Hi Mohit,
as you have Written
please advise me that where is the option of R in release indicators... there is only 1,2,3,4,b & X
Do following settings during designing of release procedure and then your design release strategies,which result once PR released,it can not be changed.
ReleaseIndicator ....Released....Changeability ....Value change % ....Description
B .........................................................................................................PR Blocked
R.................................X.....................1..................................................PR Release
in front of B (Blocked) you have not given Changeability option......................PLease please give in that also.

Running Apps not showing up in app-switcher with Lion

One peculiar issue I am running in to is that, as the iMac is running for awhile, some of the running apps suddenly no longer appear in the app switcher window (command-tab). they are clearly running, but cannot be switched to. this is very frustrating. Even quitting these apps and re-launching them will not make them re-appear in the switcher.
The only thing that cures this issue (temporarily) is to log out / log back in or reboot the iMac.
Anyone else run in to this, is there a solution to this problem?

Temporary fix that I found online, WITHOUT restarting is to type
killall -KILL Dock
in the Terminal

Suggestion: Firefox should not hold up a windows shutdown with a multiple tab close dialog box.

I did not know where to send a suggestions, so am posting it here. Please redirect this to the appropriate place.
When I shut down windows and firefox is running with multiple tabs, it pops up a dialog box and prevents windows from shutting down. Last Friday I set the computer to shutdown before leaving work and found that it was still on when I returned to work on Monday. Reason - Firefox.
I prefer to shutdown computers when I am away for extended period of time to save power.

I do not have AVG installed.
