MIXED COSTING Issue

Hi,
Business process :- Importing RAW material 100% , which is used for Export upto 90% and 10% Used for Domestic sale . cost estimate should be required for both senerio Export as well Demostic sales ,
I Was configured mixed costing for that i have maintained Costing version, production version, valuation type for domestic as wel Export price will be separately maintained but while running costing system update below
1) Current standard cost estimate costing version 1
2) Cost estimate w/o material master reference costing version 2
Business requirement is cost esimate will be Current standard cost estimate for both costing version.
could you help me what mistake i made
Regards,
Vinu

Hi Young,
Thanks for the reply
i have maintaine the same whicj u specified above , i have linked valuation variant 001 for standard cost estimate PPC1 system.and system updating std cost estimate is both level as well both version
1) Current standard cost estimate costing version 1
2) Cost estimate w/o material master reference costing version 2
Business requirement is cost esimate will be Current standard cost estimate for both costing version.
business requirement is only one standard cost estimate
Regards.

Issue in Mixed cost..

I have issue in Mixed cost..
Scenerio: just for example
BOM 1
Material A - HALB Rs 14
Material B - HALB + Activity cost Rs 2 -> Rs 12
Material C - HALB + Activity Cost Rs 2 -> Rs 10
Material D - ROH procured -> Rs 10
A can be procured directly from supplier as Rs 16.
I want to weighted average cost for Material A while releasing cost estimate & same should be update in material master accounting view
I Activate Mixed cost in spro. & maintain ck94 & ck91n. as prodcution version 1 as 50% procurement as 50%
But Weighted price not update in Material A. Only RS 14 is updated.
KIndly provide soultion for my issue. KIndly explain step by step..
With Regards

Hi,
Maintain Vendor info record for Material Master and in costing variant select tab Material from vendor info record.

Product calculation in combination with additive cost and mixed costing

Hello all,
I want to calculate trading good. I have defined a mixed costing for this article. Additional I had entered additive costs for the same article. When I run the calculation, it works only with the definitions of the mixed costing. Does the calculation take either the mixed costing or the additive cost?
Best regards
Jürgen

We also faced similar issue & had approched SAP for the same. As clarified by SAP, additive cost with mixed costing is not supported.
You may try using reference costing variant for this.

Special MTO Scenario - Costing Issues

Hi,
Not sure if I should post it here or in the FI / CO forum, but here it is ...
I'm in the process of implementing APO in a Aerospace company in Montréal, Canada and we're stuck on an Account Assignment Planning, and Product Costing issue.
Today, all demand / production / movements / costing is done by creating a Project Network.
Here are the current settings:
- Create a project with activities for each major "line section" for major components.
- Each activity has a component allocated to it
- Each activity has a different WBS element assigned to it.
- All production orders/purchase orders/goods movements are created/posted against the WBS elements.
- All stock for MTO parts are assigned to the WBS element
In order to provide better integration with APO and bring more flexibility in the Planning and Simulation processes, we were hoping to stop using Project Networks as the trigger for demand / planning / execution. The idea was to use Sales Orders (or Customer Independent Requirements - CIR) to generate the demand and run APO and MRP planning from it. The special stock segment now becomes linked to the sales order (or CIR) which changes alot of thing in the accounting documents and costs elements in the whole planning and execution processes.
Here is what we were hoping to achieve in order to limit impacts on finance :
- we are implementing APO and would like planning to be performed without using project networks.
- we would like to have planned orders for the top level for long term and be able to trigger the purchasing of long lead time items.
- we would like all goods movements (PO reception, GI to production order etc, ) to be posted to WBS elements
- we would like all production orders to settle to WBS elements
We tried different scenarios with different account assignments categories, but could not find one that fits the bill :
1) we tried using account assignment category "D" which allows assignment to sales order and WBS element. We created CIR as demand.
The problem is the stock is non-valuated which resulted in having no accounting documents for goods issue to production order.
2) we tried account assignment category "Q" with using CIR as demand. We had one WBS element assignment in the CIR. When we changed the WBS value in planned orders to represent each "line section" we ended up with duplicate demand in the original segment and the new segment.
So, is there a scenario with valuated stock that would allow us to do a make-to-order process that would post all costs to WBS?
Thanks,
Marc

Hi, sorry for the title confusion ... I cannot change it anymore.
I'm not sure I understand what you are proposing.
In our case, the problem is not really linked to the CIFing to APO but more on the Account Assignment Category in ECC and the Customer / Project Stock Segment in MRP.
Since we have a multiple level BOM and that the intermediate levels need to be associate with different WBS element according to major parts of the aircraft.
Here is an example :
Aicraft -- Has its own BOM with major parts as sub assemblies,
Major Parts -- Each Major Parts needs to be linked to a different WBS for costing purpose.
Minor Sub Assemblies -- All cost of producing the Minor Sub Assemblies should be tracked inside the Major Parts WBS.
Components -- All components costs and accounting documents should be tracked inside the Major Parts WBS.
We know that by using a project Network for the Aircraft Level we could create activities for each Major Parts with different WBS, but since we want to do planning in APO, we were hoping to not use PS has a scheduling basis. The integration of PS in APO is still not used a lot and the flexibility of Projects in planning processes is not great.
In resume, we are trying to create the demand from a Sales Order or CIR, but manage costs and accounting documents within WBS for all level in order to limit impacts on the Finance Department.

Mixed costing over plants

Hallo,
I want to use mixed costing over plants.
The same material is produced in plant 200 and in plant 210. Both plants are part is the same company. For US-GAAP reasons those materials have to have the same standard price for valuation of the stock and the goods movement.
So, I want to calculate a mixed costing of 60% from plant 200 and 40°% from plant 210.
What did I do :
1. Solution using special procurement type for costing.
First, none of the plants have a special procurement type for costing.
Plant 200 has a procurement alternative (production 60% & stock transfer from 210 40%). I cost for plant 200 giving me a perfect mixed cost.
Then I set the special procurement type for costing in plant 210 to C2 indicating to get the cost price from plant 200.
Calculating this cost price also is OK. But as soon as I save this cost price, the CK13N reports of plant 200 and plant 210 are incorrect because they allow an unending drill-down :
Plant 200 = 60% of Plant 200 + 40% of Plant 210 = Plant 200 = 60% of Plant 200 + 40% of Plant 210 = Plant 200 .....
2. Solution using a procurement alternative per plant.
Here, I do not use a special procurement for costing anymore.
I define procurement alternatives as follows :
Plant 200
   Producing in 200                  60%
   Stock transfer from 210         40%
Plant 210
   Producing in 210                  40%
   Stock transfer from 200         60%
Costing version 1 is linked to those mixing ratios.
First I calculate a pure plant cost price with a costing variant V1 and costing version 2.
Result :
A pure plant cost estimate for plant 200 & a pure plant cost estimate for plant 210.
The I calculate the mixed costing for both plants with costing variant V2 and costing version 1.
Costing variant V2 has a transfer control : cross plant - get "other prices" within the fiscal year, from costing variant V1 and costing version 2.
When I calculate this mixed costing with CK11N, everything goes perfect. I get a mixed cost price in plant 200 and exactly the same in plant 210.
But, when I use CK40N, the intermediate calculations are written to the table KEKO and are used in the calculation of the mixed costing.
This is the result :
Plant 200 = 60% of plant 200 with cost price of pure plant 200
                  40% of plant 210 with mixed cost price of plant 210
Plant 210 = 40% of plant 210 with cost price of pure plant 210
                  60% of plant 200 with mixed cost price of plant 200
Result, I get different and incorrect mixed prices in both plants.
Who can help me. Since this seems to be a US-GAAP requirement, I cannot imagine that I am the only one facing this problem.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Kind regards.
Franciska Brys.

In solution 1, I had a procurement alternative and mixing ration in plant 200 and a special procurement type for costing in plant 210.
Before calculating the mixed costing in plant 200 I had to eliminate the spec.proc.type for costing in plant 210 otherwise, the calculation got into a loop.
Without the spc.proc.type in plant 210, I got a correct mixed costing in plant 200.
Then I enter the spec.proc. type for costing again in plant 210 and calculate the cost price. This copies the mixed costing from plant 200. So far, OK.
But as soon as I save this cost estimate in plant 210, the reports in CK11N or CK13N get incorrect for the first calculation made for plant 0210 while costing in plant 0200 is overwritten by this result. Now the report gets into a loop and you can drill down endlessly.

Variances within Mixed Costing

Hi,
we have implemented mixed costing. We use the standard price, and standard price changes are exceptional. Material Ledger is not in use. Production uses process orders (PP-PI). We will use mixed costing for dual sourcing, i.e. different supply sources or production versions, and we expect that the corresponding ratios will change during the year.
Now there are several questions regarding the corresponding variances:
1) how can we identify production variances, i.e. production costs versus standard costs
2) how can we identify purchase variances, i.e. purchase costs versus standard price
Ideally these mixed costing variances are shown on separate accounts.
I would be very glad if you could help me.
Kind regards, Marc

Mi Marc,
we post purchase price differences to a separate account from our production variances. We don't use PP-PI but I think the principle should still work. For the PRD postings in the MM<>FI account assignment, use the general modifier to distinguish between purchase price differences (blank) and production variances (PRF)

Mark

Product costing issues

1)what is different bitwen with quantity structureand with out quantity structure?
2)what is valvated stocks and non valvated stocks?
3)what is the need of cost component structure , how many segments can be define in cost component structure?
4)how we are going to do work ing progress in product cost
5) what are the status in order, types of order?

Dear Pradeep,
1.Material Is Costed with Quantity Structure
This indicator determines whether the material is costed using costing with or without a quantity
structure.
This setting can be found in Costing1 view in the material master.
Use
If you usually cost materials using costing with quantity structure, turn on this indicator.
If you usually cost materials using costing without quantity structure, do not turn on this indicator.
You can change the indicator in the material master record at a later time.
Procedure
If you always cost your materials (including raw materials) using costing with quantity structure, you
should turn on this indicator. This improves performance, because the system does not search in vain
for existing cost estimates without a quantity structure for every material when it explodes the BOM.
Therefore, only turn on this indicator if you normally cost the materials using costing without quantity
structure.
Regardless of the setting, you can cost a single material with or without quantity structure. However,
you should bear in mind that this setting is always used in the costing run and in mixed costing
(creating procurement alternatives).
CK11N and CK40N is used for costing material with quantity structure.
KKPAN is used for creating material cost estimate without quantity structure.
2.Valuated stock is the stock of the materials maintained in value basis,it may be under Restricted use
or non-restricted use .
Nonvaluated materials (UNBW)
Nonvaluated materials are managed on a quantity basis, but not by value.
5.status in a production order are for Eg,
REL Released
PCNF Partially confirmed
PRC Pre-costed
BCRQ Order to be handled in b
GMPS Goods movement posted
MANC Mat.availability not che
PDLV Partially delivered
SETC Settlement rule created
So after performing each business funtion the status of the production order changes.

CK727 -Lot size cannot be passed on in combination with mixed costing

I get below error.
We have KMAT materials and scenario is Non Valuated Sales Order Stock.
in our PPC4 - we have below settings. (Both are SAP recommended)
Qty Structure tab we have Pass on Lot size "1" with individual requirements (must of Non Valuated Sales) and
Transfer Control "PC03" has "Current Std Cost" with "Transfer only with Collective requirements"
I just created a mixed cost qty structure. In it I even added Costing type "01". Sales order costing type is "18".
Mixed costing works as expected. However we are unable to create any Sales Orders.
Lot size cannot be passed on in combination with mixed costing
Message no. CK727
Diagnosis
For costing variant PPC4 and costing version 01, it was defined in Customizing that a mixed cost estimate should be created for quantity structure category M0001. At the same time, it was defined in the costing variant that the Pass_on_lot_size function should be active.
System Response
Mixed costing cannot be carried out simultaneously with Pass on lot size . Costing cannot be proceeded with.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi Kala,
system's response is correct
In the standard program the combination of mixed costing and
simultaneously pass on lot size is not possible.
Please review SAP Notes 402440, 584420 and 749128 .
In particular the SAP Note 402440 describes the determination of the
costing lot size at a mixed costing in detail.

Mixed costing and Target Costs

Hi
I have the following problem.
We are using within Product Costing the Mixed Costing functionality.
One semi-finished product is produced in 2 plants, standard price calculated according to a certain mix.
Everything fine in product costing so far.
When creating a PP order however, the target costs details are not taken over but only as a full amount under semi-finished consumables. Planned costs are taken over in detail.
After completion of the PP order, actual costs are made on materials, labour, etc, where the target costs are fully seen as semi-finished consumables. Therefor the variance analysis between actuals and target costs shows many differences within the Resource Usage Variance, which is not meant.
Can anyone help ?
Kind Regards,
JeVe

Thanks for your posting Rau,
Yes we did CK11N and CK24.
I think the problem is with the mixed costing.
In the calculation we have two lines per procurement alternative (one per production version), target cost on semi-finished materials cost element. Below that, there is a standard calaculation available, but only the higher level is taken into account when a PP order is created.
Maybe somewhere in the cost estimation is the problem.
In my situation I would like the PP order be targeted at the weighed average cost of the 2 production versions, but on the detailed level. But SAP just shows me the target of the 2 semi-finished products only.
The standard calculation look like
Product A 1000 euro
- 50% product line 1 550 euro
---cost beakdown:
materials 100 euro
labour 300 euro
etc. 150 euro
- 50% product line 2 450 euro
---cost beakdown:
materials 100 euro
labour 250 euro
etc. 100 euro
Target costs on the PP order are one cost element : semi-finished consumables for 1000 euros.
I would like to see target costs on the PP order :
materials 200
labour 550
other 250
Kind regards
JeVe

Additive Cost in Mixed costing

Hi
Is it possile to get additive cost in Mixed costing?. I have created Procurement alternatives and Mixing ratios. also "Additive cost included" is selected in Costing Variant and additive cost check box was selected in Valuation Variant.
I have created additive cost with Category V (Variable item). But additive cost is not picking in standard cost estimate (CK11N)
anybody can help me.
Thanks in adavance.
regards
Srinivas

Hi Srinivas
I think you have not assigned the additive cost component split in the Cost component structure. Unless you dont assign the same it would show the same in the standard cost estimate.
I think this should solve your requirement.

Mixed Costing on two different Costing Variants at the same time.

Dear All,
I have already configured mixed costing on my Costing variant PPC1, now i need to configure the same on another costing variant ZPSM, i have done all the setting for Costing type, Valuation variant and costing versions for mixed costing for the later costing variant, and maintained the mixing ratios for the product, but the system is not taking into account the mixed costing for the later variant.
Can anybody help me out on this? or is it not possible to do mixed costing for two costing variants at the same time?
Regards
Rashid

I have done it ...hehehhehehe.

Adtive cost to mixed costing

Experts.
We are using mix costing T.Code:CK91N for Depots Standard cost estimate. Based on my retio T.Code CK94 system calc. std. cost well but I need to add Additive cost to depot stock.
I tried in CK74N with "V" Item Category for mixed costing but system not adding that cost in CK11n.
Is it possible to add Additive cost for Mixed costing. If it is possible please reply soon.
Thanks

Hi,
Thanking you for reply. I selected Additive cost Check box in Costing Variant only. I have not selected in Valuation Variant.
One depot is receiving stock from multiple manufacturing plants. We are using mixed costing with ratio for standard cost update for depot stock. Is it possible to add my transportation cost (additive cost plant wise) to my depot stock when I am doing CK11N? If it is possible, please explain me detailly step by step.
Thanking you

Costing BOM and Mixed Costing

A product which is manufactured in-house has more than one production version. Each production version has its own BOM and Recipe. To calculate a blended standard cost, we will use mixed costing functionality and assign ratio to each production version. However we want to copy the BOM usage 1 (production) to BOM usage 6 (costing) and make changes only for costing purpose.
Hence each production version will have a BOM for production and equivalent BOM for Costing as follows:
Production Version/Procurement alternative
BOM for Production
BOM for Costing
1
Usage 1 / Alternative 1
Usage 6 / Alternative 1
2
Usage 1 / Alternative 2
Usage 6 / Alternative 2
If a process order is created with Usage 1 /Alternative 1, how does the system know to compare actual cost with procurement alternative with Usage 6 / Alternative 1 for the purpose of variance calculation?
Thank you,
Siva

Hi
Welcome to SDN
You dont have option to specify the Valuation type in BOM i.e. in the BOM of B, you can only specify A as the Input material... You cant specify C1 or C2
Hence, as a result, costing uses only the average price of C1 and C2 which is maintained in the Mat Master as a PLanned price
MIxed Costing as well as Split Valuation for Material B makes no sense in this case....
If you still want to have Mixed Costing & Splt Valuation in this case - You need to create one more material for Mat A i.e. Separate Mat codes for C1 and C2.. however, it will have its own challenges during MRP as to which material should be ordered, etc

Mixed Costing

Hello,
Need some info on mixed costng.What exacltly is this.How is it used and any config required for same.
Regards

Hello
You can use this function when you
use different production processes to manufacture a product
use different sources for procuring a material
The costing of either of these alternatives leads to differing manufacturing costs or purchase prices. Within a mixed costing you can calculate a mixed price.
