Actual and standard cost

Dear forum,
I would like to seek clarification.
Standard cost of a finish goods is getting from costing run. When it is sold, the cogs is a standard cost or it is actual cost?
If it is standard, what transaction code should I get the actual cost of goods sold?
Thank you very much
Srina

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.

  • Report for production order with actual and target cost for each

    Hi
    Is there any report that gives me the list of all production orders in a month with its respective actual and target costs?
    I can use COOIS to get a list of production orders, then double click on the prod order, then click on goto and then to cost analyis.. but can i avoid going through all this and get a report with the details i need?
    thanks in advance

    Thanks a lot for that.
    I'm a little confused with the columns in the report.
    Which columns should I keep for my requirement? -
    Production Order
    Total Target Cost
    Total Actual Cost
    Total Actual Qty
    Total Target Qty

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • Difference in Price per unit and Standard cost between COPA and PCA

    Hi
    I did a comparison between COPA and PCA for January. For few products,there is a difference in the Standard cost and PPU between the two reports(product wise). What might possibly be the reason for the difference. And how to analyze the root cause of this difference.
    Thanks
    Jaswanth

    Hi
    By PPU - Do you mean PUP i.e. Per Unit Price of Material Ledger??
    If yes, then you are not comparing apple to apple.. Std cost is bound to be diff than actual cost

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Planed cost and standard cost

    hi sap guru's
    What happens when u don’t 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.

  • 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

  • Report for extracting the actual and planned cost from service orders

    HI all
    we are creating a report in BI for Module - Customer service . LIke , the report is all about how many complaints created in the system and how many completed technically and what is the cost involved for each complaint .
    Like we want the comparision between the planned cost and the actual cost .
    Now to give the logic to the BI Team for planned cost and actual cost , please suggest the flow of logic or table flow to arrive the planned and actual cost
    thanks in advance

    Hi Marthand,
    I am not sure which datasource your are using. In this case, you can use the 0VALUETYPE to differencitae between th eplan and actuals. Normally Plan which is budget will have value 050 and for actuals will have 010. For costs, you will have one key figure and at the reporting level, you will have the costs restricted by the value type for plan and actual to make comparisons.
    Hope this helps.
