Actual cost splitting error (Equivalence numbers)

Hi
I am facing an error during actual cost splitting (KSS2) . The situation is working fine in the case of Plan cost splitting (KSS4)
I want to split costs in a cost centre based on equivalence numbers. But, i dont see any option of maintaining equivalence numbers for actual cost splititng. The option is available ONLY in KP26..
Hence, I have maintained equi no.s only in KP26. This gives me error in KSS2 Quoting some divergence error. The message reads that activity price calculation did not converge
It shows me a picture on screen which displays a loop between activity types. I am unable to understand it
Can any one guide me on this??
Any help wud be promptly rewarded
Regards
Ajay

Hi Mahe,
Here Kss4 Before cost centers are assigned Splliting Structure to cost center r not Plz check.Then Only it Work.Actuval cost Splliting is Working Based On the Production Order Conformation and U r Fi entry Poistings Related to cost Planning.

KSII, Can FI postings flow into Controlling actual cost splitting.

Can FI postings flow into Controlling actual cost splitting and actual price calculation. I am trying post FI documents(FB50,FB60,FB01) with cost elements, activity type, quantity and cost center combination. I am able to post a document and then I do all the KSS2, in KSII is not able to show me that posting. I need to know, is it possible to move from FI to CO in tcode KSII , if yes let me know i am missing something. and i am getting an error message
Message no. KP250
Diagnosis
The plan or actual activity for cost center , activity type is 0. However, costs were planned or posted in period(s) 2.

Hi,
As you know, the system splits all activity-independent costs to the activities according to the following three step logic:
-split based on target costs
-if not possible split by splitting structure
-in the last step if the above two were not possible split by equivalence numbers set in transaction KP26
In your case, if there is no actual quantity for the cost center, then the system will split by equivalence number. Therefore please make sure, that the cost center has actual quantity.
Further information is also provided in note 772794.

Actual cost splitting - secondary cost element

Hi All,
My knowledge on actual cost splitting for cost centers are limited.
Basically i am trying to use actual activity price calculation. In my splitting structure i have two different cost element group for two activities and i am using splitting rule 30 i.e., activity quantity. The system does the splitting perfectly based on the cost elements groups specified in splitting structure, but i am facing a strange problem. i have also allocated costs from different cost center to the prod cost center used for price calculation through assessment. But i havent used the secondary cost element in none of the cost element group for activities, but still the system is taking the cost of the allocated costs in secordary cost elements and allocates to both the activities in 50:50, which i am able to see in splitting showing as "division of activity-independed actual costs".
Can anybody please let me know, is this the way it works or something has gone wrong.
Thanks
With Best Regards,
GJ

".....the actual costs are distributed on the activity types according to splitting rules. If you have not defined any splitting rules for a cost center, the R/3 System splits actual costs based on the <b>equivalence numbers</b> for the activity types. "
Your case could construed to be a missing splitting rule, because the cost element group is missing the secondary cost element within the splitting structure. As a result, the system may use the equivalence number of the activity types and distribute.
Check the <b>equivalence number</b> of your two activities, it may be 1 and 1 for both activities; hence those costs getting divided equally. I suspect nothing has gone wrong.

Actual Cost splitting

Hi,
Before I do the actual price calculation, I need to do actual cost splitting via KSS2.
Suppose that I have 4 activity types for one prod cost center and the operating rates are as follows:
Direct Labor - 2.64%
Indirect Labor - 6.92%
Factory Overhead - 2.43%
Depreciation - 2.75%
Below are the plan fixed and variable costs for cost element Wages which I was able to follow based on manual calculations:
Direct Labor: Fixed - 22,000; Variable - 113,000
Indirect Labor: Fixed - 50,000; Variable - 0
CE Wages is not part of Factory Overhead and Depreciation activities
I did not use the plan cost splitting because when I uploaded the expenses, the fixed and variable portions have already been separated in the upload file.
Suppose that I made an FI posting for the cost element Wages for the same production cost center amounting to 120,000
The target costs as computed by the system and which I was able to follow also based on manual calcuations are:
Direct Labor: Fixed - 22,000; Variable - 2,985.24
Indirect Labor: Fixed - 50,000; Variable - 0
My problem is in the splitting portion. Assuming there is no splitting structure, system is computing the ff: control costs for cost element Wages:
Direct Labor: Fixed - 35,206.79; Variable - 4,777.78
Indirect Labor: Fixed - 80,015.43; Variable - 0
For these computations, I am not able to follow the logic. First I tried to compute based on the planned costs but it results to a very high variable cost. Then I tried to compute based on the target costs, the resulting amounts are (following 2 splitting steps in SAP help):
Direct Labor: Fixed - 38,830.56; Variable - 378.84
Indirect Labor: Fixed = 66,830.56; Variable - 0
Thanks in advance for your advise.

Thess

Bringing the actual cost (splitting among activity type) using 0co_om_cca data sources

Hi expert,
I'm using the data source 0co_om_cca_9 to bring the cost center data but the actual data is not being split per fixed and variable cost.
I've checked with CO team and the process to split the cost happens in the end of the month and it record the data with value type '3' in the covp table but the standard data source 0co_om_cca_9 just get the data with value type '4'.
Does someone know a standard datasource to bring the data with value type 3 from covp?
Thank you.
César Sevilha.

Hi César,
Please check if DataSource 0CO_OM_CCA_2 can deliver what you need.

COFC - Actual cost calculation error

Hi Friends,
I am a PP consultant and i have a issue with cost calculation at the time of confirmation.
There are production orders that were confirmed in year 2010 and year 2011. For year 2010 costing documents were created but not no costing docuemnts for confirmations in year 2011.
I checked tcode COFC and found error log as : A master record for 1111/ABCD exists only in 2010.(where 1111 is cost center and ABCD is activity type.)
I have checked the validaty of both cost center and activity type & both are valid.
can anyone please suggest what has to be maintained for year 2011 from controlling side.
Thanks In Advance.
Rohit

Hi Rohit,
The similar error i have faced just couple of hours back.
I have checked up the plan prices in KP26 for the activity type and could see that they were not maintained for 2011.
I have maintained the same for the current year and the error got resolved.
Pls see that you are choosing the correct cost centre and activity type combination alongwith the costing version for 2011.

Report painter/writer for actual cost component split

Hello Gurus,
Any of you guys ever explored possibility of creating a report using report painter or writer that can give both Standard and Actual cost component splits in one report? Is it even possible without custom ABAP involvement?
Thanks
RG

Hi Raghu,
After your reply, I am getting a doubt..
Have you Activated Material Ledger? When you say Actual Cost Component Split, are you talking about it what you get in Actual Costing/Material Ledger?
If yes, then you can map your cost compnents for Actual Costing in the path SPROControllingProfitability AnalysisMaster Data Valuation--Setup Valuation using Material Cost Estimate -- Define Access to Actual Costing / Material Ledger
Further, there are no standard reports available in COPA. Try to build a report comprising two columns, 1st column with the value fields which are mapped for Standard Cost Components and 2nd column with the Value Fields which you have assined for Actual Costing under the above path.
You will be able to get the comparison...
Pls don't hesitate to call me for further assistance....

Actual Cost component split - Per PO

Dear ML Experts,
We have activated Material Ledger and Actual costing/ Actual cost component split in our implementation. The standard cost is based on delivery costs and there is no manufacturing involved. In order to test ML, we created some POs and did a GR and IR for those POs. When I look at the Material Price analysis on the Price Determination Structure View, I can see the Price differences per transaction (Goods receipt, Invoice receipt).
But when I go to the Cost component View (Actual), I cannot drill down into the individual transactions. I am able to see the actual cost component split only at the summarized level across multiple transactions. I can see the category Purchase Order under Receipts, but I am unable to drill down to see the actual cost component split for the individual transactions (goods receipts, invoice receipts). Did I miss anything on the configuration? The client wants to see the price differences per cost component per transaction and actual cost component split per transaction.
Is it possible to view this information using standard configuration? Would I have to change the controlling level in order to achieve this?
Can you please provide your advice?
Thanks,
Balram

Hi Balram.
If you have access to an IDES system, you can see a Cost Component split like this:
As fas as I know, this is only for educational porpouses. In the standard System, its not recomended have the detail of the split per movement, due to the huge amount of data genereted. There is a Flag that control this, in a Txxx table (i dont have access to the system right now).
If you really want this functionality, write SAP in the marketplace, and I guess their response is exactly what im saying.

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.

Raw Material Costing with Actual Cost Component Split

Hi All
I have requirement to split inventory RM Value with material component and Freight cost, all config done and looks well if I check at CKM3N cost component view, material cost $100 and Freight $20, I GR the inventory with freight cost, since I'm using actual costing when journal freight cost go to Price Difference account. But after actual costing closing why the system can't split the variance update to freight cost component? is this the standard SAP behaviour?
Please help for the solution
Regards
Luiz

I see that you want to split your material cost and freight cost. you need to check the following:
Is your current standard cost estimate support this structure i.e do you have seperate cost components for RM and Freight.
If not first you need to change cost component structure and as mentioned by owen you to map the purchase condition type to the origin group and cost component structure.
Then system will do the same for the actual costing

Material Ledger Active - K088 Settlement doesnt use Actual Cost Comp Split

Production Order quantities are all scrap (in confirmation) thus order balance contains Consumed Materials and Activity Allocation
When KO88 Settlement is run, the system uses Standard Cost Component Split to allocate the residual to Cost Components instead of the Actual Cost Component Split
When we run the flow trace, the message says:
"Splitting according to output material S-Price CCS"
Expectation was that costs would flow according to Actual Cost Component split.
There is note 756167 - This note activates the update of the actual cost component split information in the material ledger document when you perform the order settlements.
However current release is 604, so its expected that this is already applied.
Any help or insight on how to settle using Actual Cost Component split is appreciated.

The second option you mentioned of using separate value field for transferring the standard cost component split from the actual cost component split is the way SAP designed this integration between CO-PA and the Material Ledger. But 40 value field for cost component split is excessive. CO-PA allows up to 120 value fields maximum, so I agree it does not seem prudent to use 80 of them for this purpose.
I suggest you reexamine the level of detail you think may be needed in CO-PA and try to use CO-PC reports at the cost element level to report on more detail. Keep the CO-PA view more aggregated and you can stick with the standard solution for comparing standard to actual costs in CO-PA.
