In the cost screen there is a menu that shows all the transactions that the item has taken for the calculations of the cost. This can be done by the user himself

Actual cost process

Hello to all! I wanted to know if somebody can help me with costs of OPM. I am working in a test instance and I will make inventory transactions: Purchase receptions, Transfer among werehauses, inventory adjustments. As well as, to report in WIP of production batches. I have ready standard cost of each item and I want to know if it is enough to copy it at the current cost before beginning to make the transactions and calculate actual costs or I have to make some other process.

Hi
I am not sure what the purpose or itention is and hence the question becomes a bit unclear. Could you please elaborate on what is it that you want to achieve. You mention about actual cost and then you say you have standard cost available

Decision Pop up while starting actual cost process

Hi,
Can anyone help me on this?
I am getting a Decision Pop up while starting actual cost process.
Prior Inventory period has not been closed. Cannot proceed.
By clicking on continue, the accept button became available and I launched the process.
However, we are uncomfortable with that situation since it looks like that February period is closed for all inventory accounting periods under that LE. It is also the first time that we are getting that pop up decision screen since we are testing under R12. We want to understand the reason for that.
Note: it is the first time that we were trying to close a period before fully completing it (closing Feb period on Feb 29).
NOTE: This is in UAT. This does not occur in any other instance (Dev, PPB, CRP).
We normally did not perform final cost update and the calendar assignments org periods will be always open.
Let me know if you need any more details.
Thanks & Regards,
Kannan Jay

Thanks for your quick response yesterday! After chatting with our official IT guy, He lined some things out for me. We are using SQL 2005. We discussed working up a program to add our data directly, which is an option. It will take some learning on my part, and I am willing to do it.
It would be optimal, in my mind, to use our web version in conjunction with Labview. But the more experienced person might know better.
When I call up our webpage on the front panel, I am able to navigate it by clicking around just like a normal browser. Using this method, the refresh issue I mentioned in my original post is not a problem. It refreshes with no pop-up. BUT I lose the capability to place my data into the fields. I am assuming the reference at the property node before the data placement is incorrect. (pictured below)
Is there a way to physically navigate a webpage and then use Labview to find the reference of whatever page I am currently on in order to place my data? This might be the route I need to go.

OPM Actual Cost Process not selecting all Inventory Movements

We have completed 27 Move Immediate transactions (TRNI) but only 2 of the transactions appear in the Actual Cost Transactions View so our PMAC cost is not as expected. Those 2 transactions were in Sept '09. All other transactions happened in Apr, May, Jun of 2009. On July 7 the profile option "GMF: Include Inventory Movements in Actual Cost" was changed to YES. Does this mean that the Actual Cost Process will not pick up those move immediate transactions that occured before July 2009?
Robert Lovell

Hi Robert
Yes...exactly, since you have closed all the said periods before u run your Actual cost process, and later you changed your profile option.
If you want, that all the transactions (TRNI) to be in Actual process as View, Functionally (I mean from front end) it is not possible now, but u can make use of PL/SQL Language by means of technical help then you can open those periods from back end and then do the set up from front end, and then you may able to view those transactions.
It is purely technical help and require some gud stuff to do this.

Error while running Actual Cost Process.

Hi,
Currently i am trying to implement Actual Costing with calculation type as (PMAC). when i run the actual cost process it is showing the error below.
Errors:
Warning: Cannot find the previous cost period record.
Warning: Total allocated GL expense amount on item MN1-004 is zero or negative.
Do please help me in Using Gl Expense allocation process like what are the steps involved and how system will allocate the cost to items.
Thanks
Amit

For the currency you are converting to: XXX
INPUTCURRENCY dimension must have XXX as a member with "REPORTING" property set to "Y"
and
RPTCURRENCY dimension must have XXX as a member with "REPORTING" property set to "Y" and "CURRENCY_TYPE" property set to "R"
It needs to be in both dimensions with the right properties. INPUTCURRENCY is the currency dimension in the RATE cube, RPTCURRENCY is the currency dimension in the financial or consolidations cube.

Actual Cost Posting Into Project

Hi,
I need clarification about actual cost flow into Projects in a typical customer project scenario. The business process is as follows. Projects include engineering, procurement & manufacturing of equirpments. ROH items are procured from external vendors & issued to HALB / FERT for in-house manufacturing. Purchase orders are being created w.r.t. WBSElements & same for production orders also. Please suggest me what will be flow of actual cost posting into WBSElement in this process. Is there any configuration required for this.
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Jimmy

ROH items are procured from external vendors & issued to HALB / FERT for in-house manufacturing
You have to use the MM Purchase order functionality, make GR to inventory and issue to the production orders.
Purchase orders are being created w.r.t. WBSElements & same for production orders also.
Ideally you may be better off in recieving, storing and issuing to WBS or production orders
Please suggest me what will be flow of actual cost posting into WBSElement in this process.
You can create WBS for capturing all engineering costs. Procure materials and debit WBs for actual consumption. Create production orders for manufacturing equipments and settle them to the WBS elements.
Is there any configuration required for this.
In order to settle the production orders to WBS, the settlement profile assigned to the order type shall permit WBS elements,

Actual cost disappeared

Hi all,
Please if any one can help me,
After entering the standard and actual cost for the items for the opening period and run the revaluation by test subsidiary ledger update request I found that the actual costs for this period are disappeared , by the way I entered the actual cost by copying the standard cost for the same period.
Thanks
Tamer

If you are copying from a Standard Cost Method into an Actual cost method, then you should not run Actual cost Process for that period. Actual Cost Process will clear out the existing cost of all items (under that cost method) and try to recalculate the cost (both Raw Material and Finished Good) using the Actual Transactions in that period.
Thanks,

(project system) do book confirmation amount as a actual cost

HI all
it is possible in project system when i confirm my activity then it does not book actual cost to my network activity.
because i need to show this confirm amount as only for information purpose....my clint requirement.
thanks

with the material ledger, actual costs are not only used to value the stock at the period end. You also have the possibility to revalue the cost of goods sold with the actual costs of production for the period.
The system takes initial stock, initial value, production of the period, actual costs of production of the period to calculate "cumulative stock of the period" and "cumulative value". The cumulative value per unit is then applied to all consumption of the period (goods sold) and the final stock.
Your only alternative to the material ledger would be to value yout finished goods at V-price, not S-price. The problem with this is that you don't necessarily have all the information about actual costs at the moment your finished product enters stock. For example actual activity prices can only be reasonably calculated per period.
Whether V-price is an option depends on the details of your scenario.
To me material ledger is the right way to value stocks and COGS at actual cost.

Updating Unit Cost by using Actual Cost Adjustments

Hi,
How can we adjust Unit Cost by using Actual Cost Adjustments Window?
By giving Cost Adjustment without giving Adjustment Qty, the amount was adjusted to total quantity (transacted during the period). But I want to increase unit cost by a fixed amount. Is there any option?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ram

Hi Ram,
there are some patches released by oracle 5-6 months back(5003789 and 4735489) having this feature.
There is also a meatalink note is available,expalins this cost adjustment type called Unit Cost Adjustment.This is the way it works.....
The Actual Cost process now supports this new adjustment type where you adjust
the actual unit cost of the item with the specified cost. The Actual Cost process
calculates the cost of the item per the current logic and then applies this unit cost
adjustment to calculate the new adjusted cost. This adjusted cost becomes the new actual cost of the item.First the New Unit Cost (without the Unit Cost Adjustment) is calculated.The Unit Cost Adjustment is included only after the Actual Cost is calculated based on the existing Adjustment types. Then, the New Unit Cost (with the Unit CostAdjustment) is calculated.
Hope this helps...

Actual cost in the workplan task screen (hierarchy) not show value.

Hi all,
Could you advice me about actual cost if I want to show in the workplan task screen (hierarchy).
Thank you.

Well, then just check the master data setting in Query designer--> choose 0Costcenter and check the properties > choose advanced tab> under filter value Selection during Query Execution . check for these options
1.Only Posted Values for Navigation
2.Only values in Infoprovider
3.Values in Master data table
4.Characterstic Relationship.
You need to choose the 3rd opitions as you need to read the master tables for 0costcenter.
Hope it helps,
Cheers,

Material Ledger - actual costing in intercompany transfer order

Hi Gurus,
in my client's scenario there are a lot a of one-step intercompany transfer order (from plant A in company 1 to plant B in company 2), the ML is active and we have EHP4.
We're into the design phase and the client doesn't know yet exactelly the requirements but i would need to know the possibile solutions about actual costing calculation:
Case 1: is it possible to have the actual cost and cost component split in receiver plant equal to the sender one, and with margin between sender and receiver in a dedicated cost element? What are the settings to be done in SAP?
Case 2: is it possible to have the actual cost and cost component split in receiver plant NOT equal to the sender one, so with cost component split only depending by the price condition into the intercompany PO and margin between sender and receiver NOT in a dedicated cost element? What are the settings to be done in SAP?
Thank you very much!!

Expense allocation calculations on OPM Actual costing.

Can any body provide a Document on Expense allocation calculation on OPM Actual Costing please.
Regards
Raj

Jayabalan,
Sorry for delay. I have to check the other setups too to determine the cause of this error.
Please check if this item is transacted in prior period (Mar 2006) and ic_perd_bal table has any record for this item-whse.
Else we have to involve Oracle Support through TAR to verify the log file and other setups to determine the cause of this error. They may need the Actual Cost Process log file with debug level 3 (profile: "GMF: Debug Flag")
You can contact me through mail [email protected] if you want any help in debugging more in this.
Thanks,
Dinesh

How to analyse actual cost for each operation in Process/Production Order?

Hi all,
IN SAP, I know that we can analyze plan cost for Operation in Process Order/ Production Order.
However, I can not analyze Actual cost for Operation .
I know the object when I good issue material is ORDER, not OPERATION.
But, as requirement of users, they want to analyze actual cost for each Operation.
CAn SAP do this analyze?
If Yes, What should I do in SAP to have this reports?
THanks in advance,
Emily Nguyen

Hi Emily,
as I see from one other message that you're using material ledger. Then your expectation is apparently to also see the actual costs of materials in your production order by operation.
This is not supported. Actual material costs are handed up in material ledger multi-level settlement from one material to the next, bypassing the production orders.
That means the production order will always contain the material costs valuated at plan price, not at actual price.
For activity prices that might be better, when you revalue the orders at actual activity prices with CON2. But even there I am not sure that it will always be assigned correctly to the operations.
There is currently an enhancement in development, the operation level costing. But that will affect more the planned cost side not the actuals. Might be interesting to learn more about your requirements and the use case behind.
best regards,
Udo
