Accounting transactions while product costing

hi gurus,
i need to know what are the various accounting transactions that are likely to get generated during the complete product costing procedure...
regareds
sayeed

Hi,
Please find below the various accounting transactions for Product Costing:
1. Material Consumption to Production Order - In FI:
ROH con. A/c Dr (P&L)
    To ROH Inventory A/c Cr (BS)
Same is the case with HALB
In CO:
Cost of Material is debited to Production Order
2. Activity Consumption to Production Order
No FI Posting
In CO:
Production Order is debited and cost center is credited with activity cost
3. Goods Receipt from Production Order
FG Inventory A/c Dr (BS)
   To COGM A/c Cr (P&L)
4. Revaluation of activities
Only in CO - Production Order and Cost Center will be debited or credited as the case may be
5. Calculation of WIP (if not delivered)
In FI:
WIP A/c Dr. (BS)
To Change in WIP A/c Cr (P&L)
If the Order is completed:
In FI:
Change in WIP A/c   Dr (P&L)
   To WIP A/c Cr (BS)
6. Settlement of Variances
In FI:
Variances A/c and COGS Account
will get debited/credited depending on whether they are positive or negative variances
In CO:
Variances are settled to COPA
I am sure this will give you a very good understanding of the value flows in product costing

Thank you.

Check following points,
Probably material might be split valuated,Check price is maintained for all valuation types including header in MM60.
Check price is maintained in info record.
Check type of procurement in MRP2,it will be external procurement - F.
Do product cost estimate using KKF6N.
Check production version is maintained in MRP4 ?
Check throughly all masters vendor,info record & material master.
It will solve the issue.

Acquis. and production cost account specification for AO90

In AO90, for Dep Area 50 and 51, B/S account determination, we have given Acquision: acquis. and production cost account and Contra account: Acquisition value account same. Is this a remmandable practice?
In any case. can you please tell me what should be the specifiations of
(1) Bal. sheet account: Acquisition and production costs
(2) Contra account: Acquisition value posting
Thank you for your help.

Dominic:
Thank you for your prompt reply. When I run ASKBN, it thorws an error that Contra account Contra Account: Acq Value not found for Dep Area 50 as well as 51. FYI ~ 50 AND 51 are differential Dep area (Book - Tax and Book - Stat). Hence i thought of using Bal. sheet account: Acquisition and production costs account as Contra account. After I made this change to AO90,, system thew another error that account 2360100 ( Which is my Bal. sheet account: Acquisition and production costs account) is a Assets Recon Account and can not be used as a Contra account. Can you please throw some idea to handle this?
Also, please let me know the inplecation of setting the areas to reporting only and how is it done. Thank you!!!

Load data thru WEB ADI (Accounted Transactions)

When I do transaction Import (for Accounted Transactions - Web ADI) in the Review Transactions window (Transaction Import) I am getting the following error:
Rejection Reason is -- Supplier Invoices transaction source must be GL accounted
Can any one help me regarding this .
Waiting for the Reply .

Hello
Accounted transactions are records that are already sent to GL or would be send to GL by other means, and you want to see them in Projects, but you don't want Projects to account for them again, not to interface them to GL. In such case your transactions should be loaded with all required values for PA to create the CDL. That means you need to load cost, and accounts. If you use multiple currencies, you need to supply all amounts in the other currencies, and the exchange rates attributes as well. The Transaction source should be flagged as costed, burdened (if implementation include burdening), and accounted.
Non Accounted transactions could be costed or not. If you are going to load only quantities and expect Oracle Projects to calculate the amount, then you should not populate the raw cost, nor the GL accounts, and nor PA and GL dates. The transaction source should not be flagged as costed or accounted. If you are going to load quantities and amounts, then your transactions are considered costed. In such case Projects will only account for the EI, but will not calculate the amount. The transaction source in that case, should be flagged as costed, but not accounted.

Product costing error while defining posting rules

Hi Friends,
When I'm trying to define posting rules for settling WIP using OKG8,
I get an error msg "GL account 7000100 cannot be created as a cost element" and the aforesaid account is WIP (P&L account).
The long text of the error msg is as follows:
G/L account 7000100 cannot be created as a cost element
Message no. KQ119
Diagnosis
When maintaining the posting rules for passing on results analysis data to Financial Accounting, you entered a G/L account that is defined as a primary cost element in cost and revenue element accounting. This is not allowed. You must enter a G/L account in the posting rules that is not defined as a cost element.
System Response
The entry invalid.
Procedure
You have the following options:
Enter a G/L account for which no cost element is specified in Cost and Revenue Element Accounting.
You can change the message type with user-defined error management (transaction OPR4_KKA). What should be observed when you enter a G/L account in a posting rule that is defined as a primary cost element in Cost and Revenue Element Accounting? You need to define a CO account assignment so that the posting defined in the posting rule can be executed. You do this with transaction OKB9 (default account assignment) or OKC9 (substitution), or using the default account assignment in the cost element master.
Could anyone suggest me on this.
The steps that I've already defined as far as the account are concerned:
1. Have defined the aforesaid account as a cost element
2. Assigned Prodn. C CTR in OKB9 agnst the same.
But then I dont understand why the system pops up this msg, saying, cannot be created as a cost element, wherein the account is already a cost element.
Plz suggest
regards
sandhya

Hiya,
WIP accounts (neither Inventory nor Offset) should NEVER be created as Cost Elements.
In most manufacturing scenarios, costs are tracked on the P&L. During period-end, since there is the risk of writing off some issues to the Production/Process/Sales Order, SAP has introduced the complex but ingenious system called Results Analysis that moves the balance of all open Orders to the Balance Sheet.
If the Order balance is (+)ve, the P&L is credited and the Balance Sheet is debited and vice versa. When you display the Order costs at period-end, the WIP costs are not considered. In order to calculate WIP, we have separate RA GL accounts that track costs independently of the Orders. Therefore, these are never created as Cost Elements. Creating these as Cost Elements would force the system to inadvertently post the WIP costs back on the Order (alongwith posting these to the B/S??? - an unimaginable situation).
At period-end, you have postings like:
Dr WIP Inventory Account
Cr WIP Offset Account
and, this is reversed at settlement:
Cr WIP Offset Account
Dr WIP Inventory Account
Along with this, the system calculates the Actual COS for the finished product. Neither of the two WIP accounts used above is created as a Cost Element. If you have created any of these as Cost Elements, the system will not allow you to save OKG8. Delete the Cost Element and then try saving the posting rule.
(PS: The "Cost Element" field in this screen has a different use. It is used to specify if a Secondary Cost Element from the RA Update table should be posted to a G/L Account. This is not meant for Primary Cost Elements. I think these Secondary CEs are of type 31 (requires confirmation - no SAP access right now). As you may have guessed, you can only enter either the RA Category or this Secondary CE).
You may also delete the OKB9 assignment to the Cost Centre. It is redundant.
Hope this helps.
Cheers.

Error while creating Product Cost Collector

Hi SAP Gurus,
While creating Product Cost Collector I am getting the following Error:
Enter a distribution rule for Order without a validity limit
Message no. KD059
Diagnosis
The settlement profile used requires you to define a distribution rule for Order. For period 009 2008, however, you have not created a distribution rule for Order.
Procedure
Create a distribution rule for Order without a validity limit, because, if the distribution rule does have a validity limit, the system always issues this message in the period following the last valid period.
You can also use a different settlement profile that does not require such a distribution rule, or change the settlement rule used.
Can any one help where exactly i need to maintain this.
The settlement profile settings are fine.
I am getting this error only after i have changed the scenario to Reproting point back flushing

Dear Suryanarayana
Please check the corresponding settlement profile for product orders.
In most of the cases message KD059 means that no distribution rule is assigned to your production order.
This is not an error, but the system design. In order to avoid message KD059 you will either have to enter settlements parameters and a distribution, or change settlement profile for valid receivers in transaction OKO7 from 'settlement required' to 'Can be settled'.
I hope this helps resolve the issue for you. I wish you the best in your endeavours.
Kind Regards,
Brendan

Hi,
In AO90, check for the Account 'Acquisition:Acquis. and production costs' .
Then for the GL account check the field status group. May be Cost center might be mandatory.

Problem while using KEKO(Product Costing - Header Data) table in the report

hi,
below is the slect query i have written.
while accessing the table KEKO( Product Costing - Header Data ) .more time is taken.
is there any alternative other than KEKO table when using in my report.
      SELECT FEH_STA VBELN POSNR FROM KEKO
           INTO TABLE IST_KEKO FOR ALL ENTRIES IN IST_VBAP_KEKO
           WHERE KALNR = IST_VBAP_KEKO-KALNR.
regards,
DILIP.

Hi Dilip,
Before going for any other table,
As Kalnr is only one of the primary keys of table KEKO, You can try creating secondary index on KEKO, which might help in improving your report performance.
Also, you can add more conditions in where clause if possible, which will also help in improving performance.
Thansk,
Archana

CO data extraction: report table CO object product cost accounting

In R/3 I have a report which has been created with the Report Writer (tCode GR31). It uses a library based on the report table CO object product cost accounting (KKBC).
The interesting aspect is that this library contains the characteristic sales order number (KDAUF). Using it as well as other characteristics (cost element, value type, results analysis version), the key figure total costs SWKG has been restricted (in the BI meaning) in a variety of ways, giving several restricted key figures.
I am looking for the corrisponding content objects in BW which could allow obtaining the same result. My issue is that all the objects I've found apparently don't have the detail of 0DOC_NUMBER.
After reading the manual page <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/cb/149b3979e90e1be10000000a114084/frameset.htm">InfoCubes in Controlling</a> I've considered the following InfoCubes:
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/64/0a6937adf79120e10000009b38f842/frameset.htm">CO-PC-OBJ: Cost Object Controlling</a> (0PC_C01)
It contains only the data of cost elements linked to production orders. As a consequence, the costs elements linked generically to the customer orders are not present. Please notice that the navigational attribute 0DOC_NUMBER is an attribute of 0PRODORDER.
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/33/6db6385443bd7ae10000009b38f8cf/content.htm">CO-OM: Costs and Allocations (Delta Extraction)</a> (0COOM_C02)
It contains all the cost elements, thus also those which are linked to the customer orders. Unfortunately the data are not at the desired level of detail, being aggregated with respect to 0DOC_NUMBER. When a cost element is linked to a production order, the characteristic partner object (0PIOVALUE) contains the production order number. However for those cost elements which are linked to sales documents, the characteristic partner object has no value.
Do you have any idea what DataSource could give me all the data I need, currentrly extracted in R/3 through the KKBC reporting structure?
Cheers, Davide

Hello all,
the thread Business Content for Product Cost by Sales Order by Christian J explains the very same problem I'm facing - in a much clearer way. Unfortunately his issue hasn't been completely solved.
Has anyone any idea about it?
Thanks, Davide

Product Costing: Forex rate involvement?

Hi Gurus,
I wanted to know, in a product cost estimate, is it linked anyway anywhere with the maintenance of exchange rates in OB08 transaction? If so, where the maintenance of OB08 foreign exchange rates maintenance is linked with a product cost estimate of a material? Is "External processing" cost component anyway linked with the foreign exchange rate maintenance? If you have any details regarding the questions asked, please give me some clue and share the details. It will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Prithwi.

Hi,
While creating PO itself, the PO Header data will get the Currency by default from Vendor Master Currency. It will allow us to change Currency, Exchange rate and also allow us to tick u201CExchange Rate Fixedu201D check box as per our requirement. Whenever there is a difference in Co Code Currency and Vendor Master Currencies, system will check u201CCurrent Exchange Rateu201D from Exchange rate table maintained in t-code-OB08. Any differences will be posted to Exchange Rate differences Account. If we ticked the u201CExchange Rate Fixedu201D check box, while posting the MIGO, the system will take the Exchange rate available in PO as fixed. If this check box is not ticked, again the system will check and take the u201CCurrent Exchange rateu201D from Exchange rate table.

Accounting document while doing Post Goods Receipt

Hi,
The scenario is like this.
1.     Sales order1 is created.
2.     Delivery document created; PGI (post goods issue) is done. Here the movement type is 601.
I want to get back the material (equipment) for some reason; I want to check the material for its condition. If there is any damage, I have to charge the customer. So, the material will be received to Return stock by return sales order with reference to the first sales order1 (Movement type 651); then will be sent to Quality (Movement type 457); if it is not damaged will be sent to unrestricted stock (Movement type 321) by transaction code MB1B.
When I am doing the PGI, the accounting document is created; the Inventory account is credited and COGS (Cost of goods sold) is debited.
When I am doing PGR (Post Goods Receipt), the accounting document is not created (Movement type 651).
I have created a new u2018Schedule line categoryu2019 (YL) for the return process with the movement type 651.
I want to get an accounting document while doing PGR. The inventory account is to be debited; the COGS is to be credited.
Can I get the accounting document by changing the movement type in Schedule line category u2018YLu2019?
Please guide me in this regard.
Regards,
K Bharathi

Hi
Can I get the accounting document by changing the movement type in
Schedule line category u2018YLu2019?
Yes in your schedule line category if the movement type is not 651 then an accounting doc will be created
For movement type 651 there wont be any accounting document
In returns (651M.Type) If a returns delivery exists, the return should be posted in the Sales (SD-SLS) component, not in the Inventory Management component.
Depending on how Customizing for Sales is configured (the movement type is configured in the step Define Schedule Line Category), the delivery is posted to the following stock:
- Blocked stock returns (non-valuated, not unrestricted-use) (movement type 651)
- Unrestricted-use stock (movement type 653)
- Quality inspection stock (movement type 655)
- Blocked stock (movement type 657)
If the given quantity is posted to blocked stock returns first, you can make a manual goods movement posting in the Inventory Management component to transfer the quantity to valuated stock.
So, when the goods arrives in so called "Block stock returns" it is not your property, it belongs to the customer (the ownership has not changed) - it is not valuated. Whiles you post the goods to your own (plant) stock by 653/655/657 it becomes your property that's why it is valuated and material document will be created

Raja
