Actual Costing for three companies

Hi Experts,
We are implementing SAP for 3 manufacturing companies, there are intercompany operations.
My question is: We must perform the Actual Costing (CKMLCP) for each one or for all?
Thanks in advance for your help!
José Luis

Hi MMR,
My 3 companies belong to the same Controlling Area.
I understand that, first I have to select only Plants of 'Company Code 1' in CKMLCP and continue with the process of actual costing.
Then, in other Costing Run, Plants of 'Company Code 2' and finally in other costing run, Plants of 'Company Code 3'.
Is it ok?
Thanks in advance.

Material Ledger : Actual Cost settlement to Consumption Accounts

Dear CO Experts,
We are aware that when we run CKMLCP, all variances (in the Price Diff GL Account) due to Material Prices flutuation, diff in Standard & Actual Cost of Production, etc. would finally get settled to Consumption or Stock Account in its appropriate ratios.
Consumption Acount GL is a Cost Element with Cost Category as 1.
There can be cases, when there are diferences in Production Order, due to fluctuations in Prices or Actual consumption is more than standard consumption.
When a Production Order is settled the difference is posted to Price Diff Account.
When a Material Ledger (Actual Costing) is executed, Price Diff Account is targetted to be Zero. The Price Diff is then splitted in Stock & Consumtion Account in its appropriate ratios.
Main Question :
Since, Consumption Acount GL is a Cost Element with Cost Category as 1, what shall be the CO Account Assignment Object, when the ML value is settled to Consumption Accounts.

hi merchant..
   1. Price diff between stnd and act is initially goes to PRD a/c through OBYC setting at the time of GR/Invoiceing/Issue if mat is set as S&3.
   2. In case of mat set as V&2 idially there should not be any diff but may arise some small amount due to "no or less stock qty" at the time of invoicing.
3. When CKMLCP is run these price diff & order settlement diff splitted to cons and stock as you mentioned.
Now your question :
" Since, Consumption Acount GL is a Cost Element with Cost Category as 1, what shall be the CO Account Assignment Object, when the ML value is settled to Consumption Accounts"
    Cons GL is cost element cat 1 for capturing mat mov for Issues to orders/cost centres,oth co obj for primary posting at stnd price.
    Now at the time of CKMLCP run you revaluate the materials and price diff are splitted to cons & stock and goes to mat to calculate act cost (stnd +/- prd).
I think this will give you some light on your issue.

Actual costs for laboratory exams / Material Ledger

Hi Experts
I have a doubt for actual cost scenario for laboratory industry.
My background is for product cost for consumer goods, specially food companies, so this is a new segment for me.
This laboratory has baseline version, no service/production order, it means all material consumption goes to cost center and they use activities to send costs from cost center to cost center.
They have BOM for all exams (finished product). They only run CK40N for standard costs but they don't have actual cost (material ledger - CKMLCP) implemented.
This is the issue: they want actual cost for every exam in the way we have for consumer goods industry.
So they can analyse profitability for product (exam) x customers.
I wounder if the same industry actual cost scenario can be applied to this business segment or if there is a special SAP solution for this segment.
The main issue is the stock, there is no stock, it´s service. I believe we could change the account in BSX key (OBYC) for some P&L accounts but I´d like your opinion/experience.
I hope you help me to clarify these doubts
Thanks in advance.

Dear Rupesh,
I don't think so there will be any std.report in PS module to show plan vs actual cost of material component.
For looking plan vs actual cost in PS having many std reports but they don't show for material component.
I think for this you need to develop a Z report which will show Plan vs Actual cost of material component.
In CN52N report (Component overview report) you can add two fields one is for plan cost & other for actual cost.This can be one of possibilty you can try.Otherwise develop a new Z report for the same.
For this you need to take yr abaper's help.

Release actual cost in Material Ledger

Dear Experts
I want to copy the actual cost of period 1 to be standard of period 2.
I did the following activities:
1- I run all steps for standard cost estimates for year 2012 and released the standard cost estimate for periods 1-12.
2- On January 2012, I did all steps in CKMLCP up to post closing. This is done mid night 12:01 (01.02.2012).
3- I run marking CKMPRPN, I checked "Manual Date" 01.02.2012 and in "Rule Maintenance" I selected "Perioic unit price in previous period. There was no error but when I check MM03 for a specific material there is nothing in coulumn "Future Price"
4- I run CKME and got error "C+811"
Please advise how to copy actual PUP to be standard of next period.
Regards
Ahmed Zain

Dear Maria
Taking all the above contribution in consideration, they are valuabe. Yours has hit my direct problem. I need the following calrifications, please :
1- In CKMLCP is it a must that marking and release of PUP takes place after "Post Closing Step" or I need to do them right away after "Revaluation of consumption step" , then do post closing? in other words, does the PUP will be calcuated after this step b"Revaluation" and can be subject to carry forward for next period. If this is true then we can select manually the next period and do the post closing.
2- My understanding to note 666681 is that, by the end of current period "Feb, 2012", I do all CKMLCP steps up to post closing, then I mark PUP - select manual date 01.03.2012 ( correct me whether it will be 01.03.2012 or 01.04.2012). If I check MM03 for any material I can see PUP in Future colunmn in costing 2 view. By the end of Period 3, I will run CKME for the marked PUP and so on...
Your torsh is required to throw more light in this corner, please
Thanks

Process Order Actual Cost?

Dear Experts,
I understand that we need to run KSII - Actual Activity Price Calculation first before we run the Revaluation of Orders using CON2 in order for us to get the actual cost updated in FI at the end of the day.
Somehow, in SAP Best Practices (BPD) Business Process Documentation, never ask us to run KSII and CON2. It just asked us to run KKS1(variance calculation).
My question is that do we need to run KSII and CON2 to get the actual cost updated in FI or just KKS1 will do?
regards,
Abraham

Dear Abraham,
What i know is the step that you running in Product Costing is:
1. KSS2 (Actual Splitting) --> you split the cost in Cost Center by Activity Type
2. KSII (Actual Price Calculation) --> you calculate the activity type price per Cost Center, you can see the result in KSBT
3. CON2 (Revaluate Activity Price) per Plant --> you allocate the expense in cost center to process order
4. KKS1 (Calculate Variance) per Plant --> you calculate the variance between Actual Cost vs Standard Cost (Standard Cost is come from SCE (Standard Cost Estimate) process)
5. CO88 (Process Orders Settlement) per Plant --> you settle the cost in Process Order to Material
From step 1 to 3 there is no update in FI just in CO, when you execute report S_ALR_87013611 you can find the allocation result and you can find Actual Activity per Activity Type.
In step 4, KKSI you only can calculate the variance between Actual Cost vs Standard Cost.
Posting in FI is happen in step 5, when you settle the cost in Process Order to Material (CKMLCP).
Your question is that do we need to run KSII and CON2 to get the actual cost updated in FI or just KKS1 will do?
My answer is yes, and you also have to run SCE to get the Standard Cost first.
Thanks,
Ferdinand

Actual Costing - CKME update in group and local currency - split

Hi Experts,
We are using Actual Costing and running CKMLCP and CKME to update our standard price, in local currency and in group currency.
The result it is one PR accounting document, with group currency and local currency booked in it.
Now, we have this requeriment where they want to have 1 PR document with local currency booked and $0 group currency and another PR document with local currency as $0 and Group Currency booked.
It is like doing MR21 and not doing automatic translation into foreign currency, that is what we want.
So, the question is, Is there a way of archiving this in a simple way?
Thanks for your comments!
Enrique

Hi Enrique,
The final step in CKMLCP enters future prices for all materials based on the actual prices of the period.
You could Use CKMPRPN the 'maintenance of future prices' with it's rule based approach to change the data before activating with CKME.
You could
1. delete the group currency future prices (CKMPRPN)
2. release the new standard prices in company code currency (CKME)
3. create future prices in group currency by adopting the (previous month's) V-price as future price (CKMPRPN)
4. release the new standard prices in group code currency (CKME)
I am not sure if you could also distinguish the validity dates between both currencies with CKMPRPN. If yes, that might be better than deleting and rebuilding the price.You could change the date for one currency into the future, use CKME, change the date back and use CKME again.
A disadvantage of the procedure would be that you will not release the cost component split from CKMLCP. In step 4 only the new price will be released and the split will be created from the former split. In step 2 the original split from CKMLCP will be activated.

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.

Actual Costing / Material Ledger - Component values transfer after movement

I executed a production order with several cost components, as Labor, Machine HS, after the settlement of the production order this cost where allocated into de CKM3N components. In addition to this, I executed movement 412 Q (Plant Stock to WBS Stock) for the material and the component values didnt pass to the material / PEP. I executed CKMLCP to Multilevel price determination. Can anyone help me with this?
The original material kept the cost split values, but the Material / Pep didnt. (the material code and plant didn't change)
Regards

Hi ,
Welcome to SDN ..
Its not a ML issue , but its a MM issue..
Movement 412Q is a transfer from plant stock to project stock. The material quantity gets reduced from plant stock and increased on project stock. The material value stays on the inventory account (so you won't see any actual costs associated with this transaction). ..
After you do a 412Q you can to a 221Q to issue the material from your project stock to the WBS. This will reduce the quantity in your project stock segment. The material value is credited to inventory and debited to material consumption expense(actual cost on the WBS).
The above applies to valuated project stock only. An issue to non-valuated project stock is treated like an inventory transfer from the logistics point of view(quantity is moved from plant stock to project stock) but like a consumption from a financial point of view(reduce inventory, increase expense).
Since, your Project Stock is not consumed.. CKM3N is not reflecting any consumption. Please use the movement type 221Q and i am sure your issue will be solved..
Please revert back for any further clarifications

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

Posting Actual Costs at Material Level

Hi All
For our standard costs we will have BOM Components, Activities from Routings and additive costs. We also have activated Material Ledger and will use it for Actual Costing, the objective being that each and every actual cost will be brought to the SKU level. For BOM components and activities that is no problem since it will be done through settlement.
However for cost components that have additive costs how do we settle them to the material ledger? Do we need to do MR22 for difference between standard and actual? Is there a way to do this through a template allocation or some other allocation method?
Thank you

Hi
Lets assume, you have Std cost of 100 USD involving Material + Labor and an additive cost of 10 USD entered manually from CK74N...
During production order processing - You would issue material components and confirm Labor hrs... Say, this amounts to 120 USD as against the std cost of 100 USD...
However, in prod orders, there will be nothing posted against the additive std cost of 10 USD... If you wish, you need to post it either through template allocation from some cost centers or use some assessment cycle or transfer manually from KB11N or use a costing sheet
