Costing sheet and standard cost estimate

Hi
I am trying to use Costing sheet for overhead calculation .
But in costing run I am not getting the overhead amount calculated .
I created the costing sheet and assigned that to valuation variant .
Where from the actual / Plan values being picked up for over head calculation .
More over I need to understand on what basis the %age for overhead can be calculted to be aborbed to material cost .
In costing run I am having ZERO values for overhead .
I have followed the following steps
Costing Sheet: Components
Define Calculation Bases
Define Percentage Overhead Rates
Define Quantity-Based Overhead Rates
Define Credits
Define Overhead Keys
Define Overhead Groups
Even then the Production overhead is not being calculated at the time of Cost Run
for standard cost estimate .
regards

Do you enter overhead group in the material master.
Key that groups together materials to which the same overhead is applied.
Procedure
In costing with and without quantity structure, and when costing production orders and run schedule headers, you can apply percentage overhead charges by means of an overhead key if you:
Assign a costing sheet to your production order or run schedule header, or to the valuation variant for the cost estimate
Enter overhead charges in this costing sheet that use the overhead key field
Assign the overhead key to an overhead group
Enter this overhead group in the material master record of the material

Cost Updating and Standardized cost difference apportion

Dear All,
1、 Cost updating：Standardized cost or average cost change is updated across all sub-inventory simultaneously, but the update should exclude the inventory that lends stocks (we do not want to update the cost of lending stock).
2、Standardized cost difference apportion：Standardized cost difference apportion is operated manually without system support (we want to do the apportion when stocks are delivered).
I am stuck up with these question ..
please let me know the solution or the workaround to achive this
Appriciate your help
Thanks

In a nut shell u can consider that cost elemnts are providing u the documentation for Financial reporting & legal entries of a company.
Cost centres are cost collectors for different expense/revenues generated within the organisation with repsct to controlling part (Internal documenation) of the compny for better controlling the business scenarios.
Further cost centres are used for product costing.

Relation between Preliminary and Standard Cost Estomate

Hi,
I would like to know how preliminary cost estimate using product cost collector and standard cost estimate are related to each other.
I am not quite clear how both are used for a given plant in repetitive mfg scenario?
Regards,
Yogesh

Hi,
Thanks for the reply,
My question do not need so many details for its answer.
I would just like to know if standard cost estimate will still be required even if we are using repetitive manufacturing or it gets handled through product cost collector.
I would like to know if there is any overlap between the two from process point of view.

Yogesh

Can we use two costing variant for standard cost estimate

Hi,
Can we use two costing variant for standard cost estimate of two different materials in the same period ? e.g. Costing variant Z001 for Material code 1000 and Costing Variant Z002 for Material code 2000.
Here the system is not allowing to change the costing variant in Marking Allowance (t code CK24) for marking and release of Material cost 2000 if the standard cost for Material code 1000 is already marked and released.
Thanks,
Bijay

For a material in a period only one price can be released. Though you cn have two separate costing variants and then calculate standard estimate with that. U can release based on one variant only for a month. Or use MR21 and update the price as per the other variant
Thanks and Regards

Cost Sheet and Overheads issue

Hi,
In my costing sheet i have to assign selling overheads.
for that i am collecting all expenses to one selling overheads cost center. so where i have to assign this cost center in costing sheet. upto COGM our company dont want to assign overheads. after assigning of selling overheads COGS should come. my question is where we have to enter our selling overheads cost center to cost sheet and when. please guide me with one example also.

Question 1
I have to assign selling overheads. For that, I am collecting all expenses to one selling overheads cost center. So, Where do I have to assign this cost center in costing sheet?
You specify the cost center to where the credit shall go to under Define Credit. This is under Costing Sheet Components > Define Credit. Later you assign the credit under the relevant costing sheet.
Question 2
Upto COGM our company don't want to assign overheads. After assigning of selling overheads COGS should come. My question is where we have to enter our selling overheads cost center to cost sheet and when. please guide me with one example also.
You create the cost component OKTZ, wherein you specify the CC structure. Like, in the cost components with attributes,
10 for Raw materials
20 for Labour
30 for Mfg O'head
40 for Selling OH.
Select the component associated with Selling OH (say 40 here) and click on the magnifier icon (Goto> Details), select the Sales and Administration Costs radio button. This is under the filter criteria for cost component views on itemization.

Can we do poduct costing with out using cost sheet and overhead rates

Hi,
can we do product costing with out using cost sheets and overhead rates.
In that cast , how the cost estimation happens ?

Hi,
a costing sheet is used to calculate (on a base) overhead values. If you dont need / want to use this functionality just create/use a costing variant where not costing sheet is assigned.
Use this costing variant in CK11N or KKPAN, depending if ou have a quantity structure or not.

Difference between Costing Sheet and Assessment & Distribution Cycle.

Hello Co Experts
I need to understand the exact difference bewteen Costing sheet and Assessment dictribution cycles and their use for applying overhead cost to cost object especially Project WBS. Kind request to illustrate the preference of these two functionalityover each other with respect to business scenarios.
Best Regards
Adwait A Deshpande
help.sap.com

Hi Deshpande,
The purpose of both are completely different.
Assessment or Distribution cycles are used to transfer cost from the service/utility cost centers to the Production cost centers.
Where as Costing sheet is a tool where you configure how system should calculate Production, Material ,Administration & Selling&Distribution in Product costing.
Hope this helps.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi kavitha
I dont think there is difference between Cost centre and master Cost Centre.
It may be Possible that under Cost Centre Hirarchy One Cost Centre is at Top node and other is Child of that Cost Centre.
Thank YOu.

Material ledger and standard cost estimate

Hi Gurus,
When standard cost estimate is done in a scenario, where material ledger is activated, does the entire stock get revaluated andl post a credit in my P/L? Is it possible to keep my inventory(FG and SFG) at periodic unit price ie at the actual manufacturing price over a longer period say 3 years? Please fill this gap in my understanding.
Best regards
Vimal

Hi Vimal,
Material ledger uses the standard price as 'preliminary price' always during the current month, independent of the question if a new standard price was estimated and released.
But: After period end, when the actual price is calculated the posting will adjust the inventory and P/L accounts to the actual price, with posting date in the recent period.
That means if you have a material that was manufactured once and then consumed over a 3 year period, and during that period you calculate the same material in a standard cost estimate with changing results, that would mean: Looking back at any month during the 3 years the consumption and stock values will be valued at the actual price of manufacturing. But during the currently open period it will always be valuated at the price of the last released cost estimate.
I hope I understood your scenario correct...
Best regards, Udo

Can we use two costing variants for standards cost estimate release.

Hi,
We have 2 plants (plant 5100 and plant 5200) under company code 5000.
We have run standard cost estimate(CK11N) for material 98001000027 at plant 5100 using costing variant ZG01 and at plant 5200 using costing variant ZG02. First, we released standard cost estimate (CK24) for this materia at plant 5100 and set (in marking allowance) costing variant ZG01 and costing version 01. Next time when we are trying to release the standard cost estimate for the same material for plant 5200, it is automatically picking ZG01 as costing variant in marking allowance and it is not allowing to change the costing variant to ZG02 saying Company code 5000: Release already carried out, cancellation not possible, Message no. CK797.
Is it possible to use two different costing variants for release of standard cost estimate for a material at two different plants at the same company code? If so how?
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Bijay

Hi,
Thanks for your reply again.
What is the benefit of assigning "Single Valuation Variant same to different Plants" ? In costing variant also we can assign maximum only one valuation variant and this valuation variant will default for all the plants, and hence I dont think it is necessary to assign same valuation variant to different plants.
My issue is :
Example: ( Standard Cost Estimate for material 98001000027)
Plant - 1
Material Cost                                             Rs.100
Labour Cost                                               Rs.50
Overheads (10% of Labour Cost)                  Rs.5
(say ,through costing sheet - 1)
Total Standard Cost Estimate                      Rs.155
Plant - 2
Material Cost                                             Rs.150
Labour Cost                                               Rs.100
Overheads (20% of Labour Cost)                  Rs.20
(say, through costing sheet - 2)
Total Standard Cost Estimate                      Rs.270
Now, Please explain why we cannot have two Standard Cost Estimates for a material at two different plants? If it is possible to have two standard cost estimates for a material at two different plants, how to take care of overheads (rate of which varies) at two different plants (plant - 1 > 10% and plant- 2>20%) as we can assign maximum one costing sheet to a valuation variant variant?
How to map the system so as to meet the above requirement?
Thanks,
Bijay

UOM Conversions and Standard Cost Variances

If we have the right Unit of Measure conversion defined, with standard cost in FEET and the PO ordered in METERS, will the standard cost variance calculate properly? That is, will it take into consideration a different standard cost when calculating a Purchase Price Variance?
thanks for your response,
Pam

Thanks for reply. Can I use the following sequence:
1. Opening MM period for the month of Feb on 1st Feb (so I can release cost estimate on Feb 1)
2. Marking and releasing cost esitmate on Feb 1 (this will revalue the closing stock as well)
3. FI & MM closing activities on Feb 1 & Feb 2, though postings in Jan is required.
4. CO distribution and CO-PA Assessment Cycles on Feb 1 & 2 (after FI & MM closing)
Please notice some Jan activities in Feb after cost estimate of Feb. Please comment if you suggest something else
regards
Chris

Planed cost and standard cost

hi sap guru's
What happens when u dont flag balance in local currency in gl master?
What is diff between planed cost and stand cost where will u give standard cost in MM?

Hi Ramu,
Generally the only balances in local currency will be checked for balance sheet items because it is mandatory to submit the balance sheet in local currency for outsiders/govt.
Standard Cost in the constant cost for a material. Planned cost is cost for the material for the future period. We will give Standard Price in Accounting 1 view of the material master.

Moving average and standard cost

Hi All,
I purchase raw material and trading item. assuming that my raw material is based on standard cost and trading item based on moving average.
1) if both item have no more inventory, the difference price between migo and miro will charge to price difference?
2) if raw material which base on standard cost still have inventory, may i know if there is a variance for migo and miro, the difference will go to where? if inventorise then what would happen to the standard cost.
3) if trading item which base on moving average still have inventory, the variance (between migo and miro) will be added to moving average. right?
4) for raw material which base on standard cost, may i know if freight cost, custom duty and some other miscellaneous cost need to add in, how possible it can add to the standard cost?
5) for trading item which base on moving average, may i know if freight cost, custom duty and some other miscellaneous cost also will be added in moving average price?
thanks

Hi,
1) if both item have no more inventory, the difference price between migo and miro will charge to price difference?
Yes, this is correct as per Accounting Standards
2) if raw material which base on standard cost still have inventory, may i know if there is a variance for migo and miro, the difference will go to where? if inventorise then what would happen to the standard cost.
Any difference between the Standard Price in Material Master and Purchase Value (PO Price) will debit or credit the Price Difference A/c no matter whether stock exits or not.
If Material Standard Price = 100 INR
And PO Price is = 120 INR
During MIGO;
Stock Account - Dr - 100 INR
Price Difference A/c - Dr - 20 INR
GR/IR Clearing A/c - Cr - 120 INR
3) if trading item which base on moving average still have inventory, the variance (between migo and miro) will be added to moving average. right?
Yes, it will debit or credit Stock Account and will update MAP of Material accordingly if enough Stock coverage is there.
4) for raw material which base on standard cost, may i know if freight cost, custom duty and some other miscellaneous cost need to add in, how possible it can add to the standard cost?
No, all will get posted to Price Difference Account as following;
If Material Standard Price = 100 INR
And PO Price is = 120 INR and Freight = 10 INR
During MIGO;
Stock Account - Dr - 100 INR
Price Difference A/c - Dr - 20 INR
GR/IR Clearing A/c - Cr - 120 INR
Price Difference A/c - Dr - 10 INR
Freight Clearing A/c - Cr - 10 INR
5) for trading item which base on moving average, may i know if freight cost, custom duty and some other miscellaneous cost also will be added in moving average price?
Yes, it will get added to stock and will update MAP accordingly if enough Stock coverage is there.

Costing run and premilinary cost estimate

Dear All,
Is it possible to run cost estimate and premilinary cost estimate for a product cost collector back dated. I mean for 01.03.2007. I know it is not possible. But anyother way out.
ranga

Hi Rangarajan
I think it is possible in future date and not backwards.
Thanks

Actual posting and standard cost

Dear All,
For tcode kb11n, kb15n, kb31n, kb21n, ksu5, ksv5, keu5, they are doing actual posting.
But when come to product cost, cogs, they are all based on standard cost.
May I know what is the relationship for the above where some are actual posting and some are based on standard.
Thanks
Moderator: Please, avoid asking basic questions and replicate locked threads. Upon next violation your user(s) might be banned

Hi Srina,
You can use Actual Cositng mainly to process Mateial Ledger, the result of actual costing also can be transffer to profitability analysis in month-end to be cheked and be compared.
