Costing variant in OKKN

We are implementing SAP best practices. While maintaining costing variant in OKKN I didn't find three fields which need to be entered. These are org level, cost element indicator and currency indicator.
But when I checked in SE16 for table V_CK03 these fields are there i.e. ORGEB, KOAKNZ, WAEKNZ.
Could someone tell me why these are not available for maintanance in OKKN.

When creating a new Costing Variant you might want use the settings that exist in one of the delivered Costing Variants and change just the pieces that you need to change in order to achieve the results that you're looking for. For instance, you may wish to use a different Date Control from the setting that is delivered with PPC1 (Std Cost Est - Month). To do so, you would click on the Date Control item found on the 'Control' tab. The options are then presented to you and you can choose the settings that you would like to use (i.e., in 'Costing Date From' you could change the setting from 'Start of Next Month' to 'Current Date'--you would only make this change, of course, if you wished the current date to default into the 'Costing Date From' field when you create Cost Estimates in CK11N. Without making the change the first day of the next month will default into the 'Costing Date From' field).

Creation of a new costing variant to cost production orders

Hi all,
Currently the business is only able to cost a vehicleu2019s production order at the standard cost value which is determined at the start of the year.
During the year a number of the purchasing values will be updated with a new contract price, this increase will not be reflected in the standard cost until the end of the year.
The business would like a new costing variant which will cost an already created vehicle in SAP by its production order at the u201CCurrent Costu201D (current purchasing info record value).
It will need to be calculated in the following way:
u2022Purchased material - at purchase cost from info record (see below for applicable exchange rate).
u2022Manufactured material - child material to be at purchase cost (from info record). Routing cost (labour\overhead, etc) at current criteria.
u2022No allowance for CPI. [WHAT_ DOES_CPI_MEAN_?]
u2022Exchange rate: ideally, fields are provided to input exchange rate. If this is not possible then apply current monthu2019s exchange;
u2022FRAu2019s - current rate from the info record.
u2022Summary of total material cost by origin code with ability to drill down to line level.
u2022The output of the report will need to be similar to the layout of a production order but with only the current value displayed.
We have some problems to understand this request: we don't know the transaction which is used by the users to costificate a production order and what does it mean "CPI". We are not sure on the feasibility of the costing variant requested because it must consider both actual costs and standard costs.
It should costificate in this way:
(Actual Cost of Row Material * Bom's standard qty) + (Standard price * Standard production time (in the routings).
Could you help us?
Many thanks to all of you, best regards.

You can create a new costing variant with a valuation variant that points to inforecords for material prices. Go to OKKN t-code and create the required configuration and start using the new costing variant to measure the current cost of making vehicles.

Contents of new costing variant, valuation variant and costing sheet not getting transported

In our development client,I have created a new costing variant, a new valuation variant and a new costing sheet in separate transports.
When I release the transports to move into the Test client, the contents of the configuration are not getting transported at all.
I tried to do them again manually using Table view - Transport , but again, if I view the transports in SE10,they don't show the table contents, etc.
Any help on this will be highly appreciated.

Ajay,
Let me make sure I understand.
Create a new TR using SE01
Go to transaction OKKN (costing variant)
Select the costing variant and then choose Table view - transport
Provide the transport number
At what point to I say 'include in request'
If I try to use the menu option Edit-Transport-Include in request in the beginning itself, the 'Include in request' is greyed out.
This is where I'm stuck

Material Cost - Costing Variant

Hope you guys having great Day,
I have an issues related to Costing Variant and Material Cost. Please check below.
Material #123456 at 1ABC is showing a cost of $0.36/EA(Bag) in Costing Variant Z001, but it is showing a cost of $35.61/EA(Bag) in Costing Variant Z002(PRCT VAL). The cost should be what is showing in Z001. How do we correct the cost to be the same in costing variant Z002
Appreciate your time.
Thanks

Hello-
Please compare valuation variant for both the costing variants and see where is the difference. You can check it by using transaction code OKKN for costing variants and OKK4 for valuation variants. This is where you would normally determine material valuation strategies.

Costing Variant Creation in spro

Hi,
Please let me know the creation of costing variant in spro.Need configuration steps for it.
Regards,
A.S.kUmAR

Hi there
Please see
Transaction: OKKN
Or
IMG-> Controlling-> Product cost controlling -> product cost planning ->material cost estimate with quantity structure ->define cost variants
You can create your own or copy from an existing costing variant.

Costing Variant not visible in CK24 for my plant.

Hello Experts,
Using transaction OKKN, I have created a new costing variant ZPC1 to take the place of PPC1 for updating standard cost in the material master. I basically copied most of the parameters ( including the Costing Type) from PPC1 but changed to a different Valuation Variant. Running CK11n successfully generates a cost estimate without error (status KA) that meets our requirements.
The trouble is in transaction CK24. I click the Marking allowance icon and I see both our actual plant, and the dummy preconfigured plant 0010. For our actual plant, I also see the fields populated for Costing version 1 and Released check mark. If I drill down on our plant, I get a pop-up for "Permitted std cost est variants", showing only PPC1. However, if I drill down on the dummy plant 0010, I first get a search pop-up for "Permitted std cost est variants" with an open field for "Costing Variant". Drilling down further shows both PPC1 and ZPC1.
I think maybe a "Costing Version" has been defined for our actual plant, and that is pre-selecting PPC1 and preventing me from using ZPC1, but when I search in config (transaction OKYD), I see nothing defined.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My problem has been solved. There was actually nothing wrong with the configuration.
The problem was that the Marking Allowance had already been activated for costing variant PPC1 in period 11/2009. This was visible from the marking allowance screen by the population of the fields Costing Version 01 and the check mark in the field Releaded.
Now that we have moved on to period 12/2009, the Costing Version is blank and I see both Costing Variants available. When I select a variant to allow marking, the Costing Version gets populated. After running CK11N again to create a cost estimate for period 12, I was then able to Mark and Release my new estimate and verify that the new Standard Price updated in the Material Master.
Thanks for your help, and I hope this record may be of value to others.

Sales order vs costing variant

hi
in production order ,in OKKN we take costing variant for standard cost estimate and calculate in CK11N and released then is updated in order CO01 through costing variant in OPL1 here we select 2 costing variant PLAN and ACTUAL. ok
for sales order in VA01we will calculate costing in menu -extra- costing--
1. is it standard cost estimate like CK11N,
2.while creating CO08 for sales order here we enter production order type PP01, in this order type already costing variant PLAN and ACTUAL would have assigned for oder type
so how it calculate plan and actual
or
first we have to configure all production order setting upto CO01 and after taking production order goods receipt then we we have to create sales order setting like requirement class,type,VA01 and CO08.
plz tell me sequence for sales related order
thank you
sowmya

Dear Sivani,
I think that in your MTO scenario Sales Order item is not a cost object. And hence, the production shall be done thorugh a production order and the actual costs of material and activities, overhead shall be compared with Sales order cost estimate. The production order shall be settled to FI and COPA. FI and COPA captures the variances. At the time of billing, the COPA gets the Revenue, COGS and its components. If that is the case the following building block shall be handy in configuring your requirement. Pl go through the same and revert if you need further input.

CK11N Costing variant Repetitive Manufacturing

Hi ,
T code : OKKN we are able to find the Costing variant - PREM -Repetitive Manufacturing Version.
While costing the productin in CK11N , Costing Variant does not display PREM.
Could you pls suggest how to find.
Regards

If you go to OKKN, you will see that PREM is confiured as a Prem Cost Element.
Ck11N, looks at planned values for product Costing, therefore this cannot be used.
You cant use PREM, even if you were to copy it, you cant change the field.
If you copy a standard one, then it will appear in CK11N, i.e. PPC1, however if you copy PREM it will still not appear.
it appears to be down to the Valuation Variant, and it seems that 19 is not a recognised value for CK11N.

PPC1 Costing Variant and MM Standard ormula

Hello Gurus,
Can anyone tell me where the formula is located in SPRO for PPC1 Costing Variant? Is there such a thing?
Also, what is the relationship between the material master Standard Price in Costing 2 and the Cost of Goods Manufactured value in CK11N?
Regards,
Gail

Gail,
It' not exactly a formula, but the configuration settings for the costing variant are made using transaction code OKKN. Pay special attention to the valuation variant attached to the costing variant PPC1. In the valuation variant to specify what methodology to use for valuing components, activities, and external processes. You also specify how overhead is calculated.
CK11N is used to generate cost estimates. Once a cost estimate has been calculated you have the option of marking and releasing it. If it is release it then updates the standard price field on both the accounting 1 screen as well as the costing 2 view of the material master.
thanks,

Costing variants

Hi Gurus,
what is the difference between costng variants created in controlling with tcode OKKN
and costing variants created in PP module with tcod OPL1
can any one explain
regards
Ravi

OKKN is used for deriving costing in Std cost estimate. OPL1 is used for costing in Production orders for deriving actual costs.

Costing variant and production version

We have two costing variants "C" (used to create current cost estimates) and "F" (Used to create Future cost estimate). All of the production versions in the system have a validity date of 9999. Is there a way to tell the system to use one production version when costing using Variant C and another version when costing is done using variant F.
Or if that is not possibel than how do we use one production version in 2011 while recosting current standards and another production version in 2012. (Remember the production version that we are using currently in 2011 has a validity date of 9999)
Regards

Hi
In your Costing Variant - You have a tab callled "Qty Structure Control".... Here you can specify BOM Determination and Routing Selection id.... i.e. If the BOM / Routing attached to the prod version can be assigned a specific BOM Determination Class and Routing Selection id, it can work
OR ELSE
While doing CK11N, you can manually specify the Prod Version in the "Qty Struct" Tab..... Create an LSMW for CK11N and you can do a mass costing like CK40N.... CK40N does not have this option of specifying Prod Version
I would prefer 2nd option

Costing Variant & Prod Cost Collector

I am in the scenario of period costing with a product collector. Please guide me on the following:
While configuring for costing/valuation variant, I find that we create a costing / valuation variant under 'Material cost estimate with Qty structure' and also under Cost object controlling - Product Cost Collector, 'Check costing variant for Product Cost Collector' & 'Check valuation variant for Product Cost collector'.
Do need to configure a costing variant and valuation variant under these paths, viz. under Standard Cost estimate with Qty Structure & also Product Cost collector ?
Please give your comments ASAP

New Cost Component Structure in new Costing Variant

Hi gurus,
i created a new costing variant (to be used for planned prices, for budget purposes), then a new cost component structure.
Now the system (transaction OKTZ) doesn't allow me to assign the new cost component structure to the new costing variant forcing me to mask the costing variant with ++++.
But the aim, for me, is just assigning the new cost component structure to the new costing variant only for a company code and only for a plant.
Does anybody know how i can reach the goal? Am i missing some step?
Thanks in advance for the collaboration,
Best regards
Enrico

Hi Utenza
You can very well achieve this
1. First of all ensure that a masked entry exists i.e. ++++ in Comp Code field, Plant Field, Costing variant Field and assign the Prmary cost comp str here
2. Then, coming to the new costing variant and new cost comp str,
a. Enter ++++ in the comp code field
b. Enter your plant name in the Plant Field (and not ++++)
c. Enter your new costing variant here.. (This should be the costing variant where costing type is not 01)
d. Assign your new cost comp structure here against this costing variant

Create a new costing variant or use a existing one

Dear Friends,
Company XYZ does not use absorption cost.
In Company Code 1000, Costing variant XY does not do any calculation because zero values are entered in acitivity type,costing sheet.
For new company code 2000 &3000, Users want to enter values at activity,costing sheet etc.
I like to know the following,
Should we use the existing costing variant XY OR Create a different cost variant for Company code 2000&3000.
Regards
Sridhar

You can use the same if your Valuation Variant is gonna remain same
entering act prices is part of master data which is independant of Costing var
