Actual cost percentage distribution

hi!
i want to track my actual cost percentage regardless of the time.
I know the %complete is actual duration / baseline duration. I need to see a percentage field in a column which shows the percentage. My resources are "cost" resources
for example there is a project. Duration 50 days and 2 tasks. A and B , A:20 days B:30 days and A and B have the same cost.
B starts when A finished.
and at the 20th day A finishes and i want to see that percentage column 50%
For all tasks and subtasks.
Thanks

A small correction is necessary immediately. % Complete = actual duration/total duration where total duration = actual duration + remaining duration.
Baseline duration doesn't come into it.
When you say "I need to see a percentage field in a column which shows the percentage", the question is "percentage of what"?
Let's say A and B have the same cost, $50 each, assigned as 50 units of a cost type resource named "cost of A" and "cost of B" respectively.
If A started as scheduled and finishes as scheduled with 20 days actual duration then at the end of day 20 (the status date) you can "mark on track" (there's a button for it on the ribbon). Note that you can't do this if A did not start as scheduled and
finish as scheduled and have an actual duration of 20 days.
MSP calculates the actual cost, which is the $50 for task A. There is no field built in to MSP for actual cost/total cost or the % cost, but it is easy to make one with a custom field. Just right click on the heading of any column, insert field, customise
field, and write the formula:
([actual cost]/[cost])*100&" %"
... and there it is.

Error in Distribution of Actual cost in Cost Object Hierarchy

Hi,
I am getting an error while doing the Distribution of Actual cost from Cost Object Node to the assigned Order.
Cost element/origin 630000 could not be distributed
Message no. KZ468
Diagnosis
The cost element/ origin 630000 could not be distributed because there are no target costs for this cost element/origin or for cost element group CO-PC-TOT.
Procedure
Check the calculated target costs and cost element group CO-PC-TOT assigned to the target cost version.
Procedure for System Administration
Proceed
Although the Cost element is Present in cost element group CO-PC-TOT.
One more information, the order that is assigned in Cost Object Hierarchy is of CO-Product orders.
I have searched in the forum but I havent got any solution.
Kindly help.
regards
Kami

Hi,
Concerning error message KZ 468, it has the following origin: In the customizing of the cost object category (transaction okz5), check if the 'single object selection' is set to 'Control through variance key'. If you consider the F1-Help for this option you will find the following explanation:
if the indicator Control through variance key is turned on, the production order, process order, or product cost collector can only be assigned to the cost object hierarchy if:
-> The material is assigned to the lowest node of the hierarchy
-> No variance key is specified in the order
The important point is, that orders that have a variance key are excluded from the cost distribution.
In transaction KKF8 you will find that all these orders do indeed have a variance key. Hence, all of these orders are included, there are no target costs from the orders and the costs cannot be distributed. Thus the error message kz 468.
Please consider that and check the customizing again.
Not having target costs in the distribution indicates either a wrong set up of the hierarchy or, more likely, no valid cost estimate for a certain material of a production order or product cost collector could be found.
Did you check whether for this cost element/origin target costs exist, and also for the cost element group? If not the message KZ468 is correct and probably the cost element group has to be maintained properly.
The distribution of actual costs calculates target costs on-the-fly and the variance calculation does not have to be carried out before. Quite the opposite than the variance calculation requires the distribution as a preceding step. Furthermore it is not sufficient that one cost element is in a cost element group but the interval where the cost element has been assigned to has to have some target costs. Otherwise this won't work and message KZ468 is issued.

Actual Cost Distribution

hi experts,
i created a distribution cycle both planned and actual , but while tyring to allocate cost to desired cost center it takes into consideration only the planned value. will somebody tell me how can i allocate actual cost to the reciever cost center
regards
maryam

Hi Abdul,
You need to create the Distribution Cycle for Plan and Actual seperately. Creation of Plan Distribution Cycle - KSV7 and Creation of Actual Distribution Cycle - KSV1. Pls check if you have done it.
When you create the Actual Distribution Cycle, in each segment, you need to select the radio button "Act.Vals" under "Sender Values". Pls check if you have done this. And also check if there are any actual postings happened to the Sender Cost Centers in the cycle. (Use KSB1 transaction code).
Pls check and revert back for further explanation...

Actual cost distribution in cost object hierarchies

Hi all,
I cannot distribute the actual costs collected on a cost object hierarchy since the costs are retrieved from an assessment cycle with a cost element with category 42 (assessment).
I would like to assign my production cost centers balances to cost object hierarchy and then distribute it with transaction KKPX - Distribution of cost object hierarchy costs.
Would someone have any idea how I could proceed?
Thanks in advance.

Project Actual Cost Line Items (CJI3) - Need Invement Profile Key also

Hi All,
We are trying to execute the report "Project Actual Cost Line Items" through Transaction Code CJI3.
We need Invement Profile Key also in the out report of CJI3.
Is there any Standard SAP report to get Invement Profile Key as well along with normal CJI3 output.
Please let me know in case you find any such Standard SAP report.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello Sreekanth
Thanks for your input. Yes it is working now after posting cost under same CE as what I have maintained in Base of costing sheet on required WBS..
I was under impression that the cost lying in cost center can be pulled out indepedantly on WBS through costing sheet based upon percentage mentioned in overhead.However I am observing now that the cost posted on WBS is taken as base amount to calculate overhead.
In my case, Eur 100 cost is posted under primary cost element 652100 on WBS and Eur 2000 cost is posted on Cost center under same Cost element Actually I am required to pull out some percentage of cost Eur2000 on cost center to WBS. However,
currently it is taking Rs 100 (posted on WBS) as basline cost and calculating overhead over it and posting it to WBS again under overhead cost element.
Can we handle this through costing sheet or for that Assessment distribution is must? May I expect the answer.
Best Regards

Actual cost of Production Order settled to Fixed Assets

Dear all,
My client is doing in-house production of moulds (internal order suggestion is not accepted by the client) for which
they have the following
1. BOM
2. Machine hour
3. labour
4. overhead etc
5.plan value
6. actual value
Can i settle the actual cost of production order to Fixed Asset ?
If yes
what are process kindly give me if any process other then the below
1.production order created
2. settlement profile - FA is settlement optional
3. allocation structure
4. Asset created
5 define asset in settlement rule
Kindly give me your valuable input
regards
elango

Hi,
Although i am not CO expert , please check with your FICO consultant who are expert before make the final call.
During settlement to a G/L account or a fixed asset, the system ignores additional account assignments that were manually specified in the distribution rule.
Based on what i know .
you can stipulate that settlement may be made to cost centers and orders, but not to fixed assets.
The Settlement profile is something that you need to create a settlement rule to settle the actual costs of a sender object.
About the Settlement rule is something that contains the distribution rules for the sender. It will define how the way to settle the cost.
Allocation Structure
In the settlement structure you combine the primary and secondary cost elements into groups, in which debits are then posted to the sender objects. For each group, you specify whether (for settlement to a given receiver type) settlement is performed
by cost element or using a settlement cost element.
For example, you might use settlement cost elements:
To document the purpose of an order (such as, repairs or maintenance)
To reduce data volumes (you can combine a number of debit cost elements
under one settlement cost element).

Decimal Value for Percentage distribution on Account Assignement in SES

Dear Experts,
While creating service entry, the qty should be distributed on percentage basis for Account assignment with decimal value.
For Example
Say Service 100% done but value is 10,000..but there is distribution to different cost center say K, L , M, N
K - 21.25% - value 2125
L - 32.70% - value 3270
M - 28.93% - value 2893
N - 17.22% - value 1722
So i need to customize decimal values for Percentage distribution for Service entry sheet creation. Please advice me, if you know the solution for this
Regards
Saravanan

Hi
In Transaction CUNI, as lot is a created Unit of measure wuth no dimensions select No Dimensions & continue
Now change the decimal places for the Unit from3 to 5.
In the service entry sheet you will be able to maintain the lot upto 5 decimals....
But there is again aproblem in that as the standard field Quantity MENGE has only 3 decimal places allowed, so agian you will encounter a problem.
So the best method to follow is advise the user to go for a 3 decimal reounding off the work.
Hope you understand the Problems that arise when decimal places are changed we need to take a lot of things into considertaion before going forward
Thanks & Regards

What is the impact if we switch from standard costing to actual costing?

Hi all,
what is the impact if we switch from standard costing to actual costing?
what are the changes is needed in costing?
thanks.

Hello,
Its an nice idea to switch from standard to actual costing. It would be advisable to make this switch over happen in a new period praferably with a new year. You would need to carry out the settings for material ledger / actual costing and for the accounting settings you may refer to sap note 908737.
Not much costing changes would be necessary to the existing configuration but you would need to activate material ledger and allign your Inventory accordingly. The settings for ML would be relatively simple but the main problem would be handling the inventory that you already have in stock. You would also need to have a proper closing procedure followed by next month's planning approach which would actualise the inventory at the end of the month and decide the methodology for next month's plan valuation. It should be kept in mind for configuring ML.
The closing sequence would be as under:
1. Complete all Cost Center and production order postings.
2. Complete all Cost center Assessment / Distribution
3. Calculate Actual rate
4. Revaluate production orders
5. Calculate WIP
6. Settle Production Order
7. Run Costing Run (CKMLCP)
Material ledger is capable of actualising activity costs and WIP as well and you should configure it according to your need.
You can follow the standard SAP documentations for configurations + Note 908737 for configuring ML.

Volatile raw material price and actual costing

Hello,
We are investigating the use of material ledger / actual costing in SAP. We have multiple production plants and multiple distribution warehouses that would be modeled as a plant.
We are worried that due to the extreme volatility of our raw material prices and the fact that some of our products have low volume or slow turnover in some warehouses, our cost of goods sold in SAP using material ledger / actual costing will be difficult to explain and not reflective of actual conditions.
For example, if a product is placed in Warehouse A in month 1, receives very little new product in months 2-4, and then we sell a lot of that product from warehouse A in month 4, the cost of those goods will be very close to the month 1 cost. We are worried about how that will affect our cost of goods sold.
We would like to hear from other companies that have similar conditions to see if this really causes any problems using actual costing / material ledger.
Thanks,
Jimmy

Hello,
Thank you for your response. We would like to understand why other companies do not have a problem with this behavior. Our company is concerned that this will reduce visibility of raw material price fluctuations in COGS (and reports that use COGS data), and make it more difficult to explain COGS behavior. Note that we have some reports on COGS data by material.
In our current system, COGS consumes inventory at the average price accross all warehouses.
Thanks,
Jimmy

Actual cost not getting capture

Hi Experts,
We are using activities to capture cost upon activity confirmation for the labor cost.
I have set up all required setting for activity types & rates and all.
System capture plane cost without any issue.
Actual cost also getting capture only if we put percentage of completion(Processing%) on activity & that is working fine.
For the activities which are fully confirmed we just tick "Final Conf" & "completed " check box only, then system automatically updates Processing% as 100. In this case actual cost is not getting incurred although activity is full confirmed.
Please help to overcome this conflict.
Thanks in advance.
Kind Regards,
Sam L.

Hi,
Thanks a lot Ahmed for your assistence, I did it & it works as per my requirement.
when I'm working on that I got to know that if the tick is on for the "propose activity" in confirmation parameters(OPST).
But if switch on above feature(propose activity), I cant see the completed Processing% since it always shows as 100.
So other than this, is there any way to stop capculating work forcast by default for all activities?
kind Regards,
Sam L.

Project POC to determine actual cost and actual revenue

Dear all experts,
please help me on the following issue.
i am working on a project for sales.
the project actual cost and actual revenue will be determined by the project POC.
i have read the SAP help about project progress.
but it confused me.
my first question is how can i caculated the actual POC?
is there a standard predefined way to solve it?
please give me some hints or suggestions.
thanks a lot.
Judy

Hi,
Can anyone detail the steps involved in carrying out RA with Valuation Method 7 with progressive value analysis. Here, we can give a percentage of POC into the system as certified by the Engineers unlike Valuation method 3 where the POC is calculated on the basis of actual costs incurred.
In the case of valuation method 3, only revenue is analysed by the system with reference to the POC and necessary entries are posted as Revenue surplus or Revenue in excess of billings. Whereas in the case of valuation method 7, both the revenue and costs are analysed and necessary provisions are made both for revenue and costs.
Regards,
Judy

Automatic events for COST/EVENT distribution rule

Hi,
We are using 11.5.10 in our organization and we are using the following distribution rules
a) WORK/WORK
b) WORK/EVENT
c) EVENT/EVENT
d) COST/EVENT
The COST/EVENT projects generates automatic event and that too these events are passed in functional currency.
a) Is there a way we can stop these automatic generation of events?
b) If not, is there a way we can make the system to generate events in Project Currency?
Thanks
ARS

Hi
By standard functionality system will not allow you to update the distribution rule of an active project. Here are three ideas to overcome the issue. Note those are not solutions that Oracle will give you, so be sure to test them carefully before implementing on real system.
Please note the COST formula is calculating: ITD actual costs/total Approved Cost Budget X Total approved Revenue Budget. The billing extension called COST has as setup the name of the budget types for revenue and costs. It is possible to update the names of the budget types on the billing extension setup form. You might try setting a special budget types names which you designated only for that calculation. Enter budget cost and revenue values that will force the system to always get a zero result, so it will not create any new automatic event from that billing extension.
Another option is to go on and modify the SQL code of the billing extension COST (some times named COST_TO_COST). By modifying the code you prevent it from generating new events.
Another option is to update the distribution rule (Revenue Method) of the individual projects from COST to EVENT or WORK. Such update cannot be done from the front end, but you could easily do it by direct update on the database table.

Actual Cost of finished goods in MIGO

Hi,
The value of Finished material in FI Document generated in MIGO takes the (Goods Receipt Quantity) X (Planned/Moving average Price from material master), Where as it should take the Total Actual Price calculated after Order Confirmation Based on Actual Material Purchase Price & Actual Activity Posting Value.
For example:
Present scenario
Material-> MIGO QTY>Moving Avg Price -->MIGO FI Document Value
Finished> 1000 EA> Rs. 10/ EA--
>Rs. 10,000=00
Required Scenario:
MIGO FI Document value= (Purchase Value of Raw Material)+ ((Activity Posted while Confirmation)X(Activity price))
Thanks.

Hi,
What u said is right Mr Kapil.. See when u do GR From Production Order System Calculate Moving Price or Planned Price from
material Matser .
As per ur Reuirement u told it should calculate (Raw Material Price + activity+OVHD).
it is possible only when order quantity is less , suppose say your order qty is 150 mt per day and your Plant capacity is 500mt
per day production will be done in a half day, sale can be done on same day after Production with the formula what u told.
If suppose say , Your order is 2000 ton of Oil , it will take u to complete 4 days for your Total production as you told, GR should
be done on (Raw Material Price + activity+OVHD) formula, you dont know exact activity price for 2000 ton until u finish your total
production, at the same time until u do GR sales cannot be done. So in SAP Gr is intially done on Moving Average Or Planned
(Standard Price) , After totla Prodcution GR is Compared with Actual Cost(Raw Material Price + activity+OVHD)= :"Variance".
Plus are MInus is Reduced or added to Finished Goods Account or PP account during Settlement.
If any wrong Pls Correct me Experts,
Pavan
