Actual Costing Issue

Hello
We have ROH with standard price determination for 4 plants. Since 2002 there is no actual costing for these plants. can we consdier them for actual costing now?? If yes-----
How to handle the price variance happend in 2002 until last period. All reporting and everything completed for legal and management purposes
Any idea how to deal with this
Regards
Dinabandhu

Hi,
This is a regular feature in Clients where there is nobody to take ownership of Controlling period end activities. Consequently, there shall be no settlement. The Production orders have piled up and have to be closed. Same situation, I also faced. I have run several variance calculation and settlement in several jobs for weeks together in quality and production. The client made my life miserable.
After all this, I came to know one good workaround by configuring the settlement parameter to 'can be settled' in the order type. So then there is no need for settlement and the old Production Orders can be closed without settlement. Pl try this and let me know. This is a very good lesson, I have got after toiling for weeks together and am sharing with the forum.
Trust this helps much and do encourge our efforts!
Cheers!

Target cost /actual cost /variance issue

hi
target cost as per cost component structure is appearing after production order is saved
but after production order confirmation T Code CO15 actual cost is appear but target cost disappeared and because of this variance showing full value of actual cost
why this is happening
what is the reason
please suggest to resolve the issue

Dear,
Once you do the GR of that Prod Order and the status will DLV then the Target will show. Run KKS2 and then check your result.In production order or KKBC_HOE

IW33 : Good Issue but Cost show in Plan Cost instead of Actual Cost

Hi All,
Would like have your helping hand on below issue.
Warranty Order been done the Good Issue but the cost still planning in plan cost instead of actually cost.
Information as shown below.
Thank you advise in advance.
Trevor Wong.

Abi,
Can you see that there is a difference in the the actual costs reported on the Cost tab (350 RM), and those reported using the Rep Plan/Act button (1100RM).
This is because the Cost tab costs are not correct.
As pointed out by Maheswaran KD above, please run the correction program RIPMCO00 via transaction SE38/SA38, then check the Cost tab data again.

WBS Element Actual Cost and 'Detailing the Value Type ' issue

Hello BW Experts ,
I want to extract the WBS Element Actual Cost and Revenue.
I have selected the data source 0CO_OM_WBS_6 .
In this data source there is a field Detailing the value type ' 0VTDETAIL.
As per SAP BI Help if the value of this field exists between 1 to 4 then it is actual cost of WBS ( also Key figure Category 0METYPE should be 1000 for actual cost and for revenue it is 1001).
value 4 of 0VTDETAIL means CO Activity Allocations.
When I see the data from this data source in RSA3 , I could not get any WBS whose 0VTDETAIL is 1 to 4 and Key Firgure Category as 1000, value type = 10.
Is there any other data source I should select in order to get actual cost for WBS ?
I can see the settelment cost whose 0VTDETAIL = 5 through this data source in RSA3.
But I want to see the data for the Actual Cost whose 0VTDETAIL = 4 .
What could be the reason ?
Thanks in advance .
Amol.

Dear Oscar,
Thanks for your response,
The Actual Cost posted by our Functional Consultant is USD 250, but i am getting the Total Actual cost is ZERO (Sum of -250 +250) as i shown above.
the posted actual cost is +250, finally we need this figure only,
if i do restriction on Sender receiver Indicater field with S than i will get Actual Cost 250, but in SAP standard RKF for Actual Cost there is no restriction on Sender receiver Indicater field (S & H)
I hope you got my point now.
Thanks

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

Posting date wise PM order actual cost

Hi friends ,
I want a report where I can see the actual cost of PM orders , posting period wise :
Say an order's basic start date = 26.7.2011
material is reserved on the order on 29.7.2011 with planned cost Rs100 .
Now reservation is issued with MIGO with posting date 2.8.2010
Now I want a report where I can see this cost by posting period.
Say if I enter 1.7.2011 to 31.7.2011 then cost should be zero .
only cost should come when i will enter 8th month .
One more point should be there the report should not consider controlling area's currency .
Because our controlling area currency is USD and cost in our orders is in INR

Actual cost are not updating in prodcutcost collectors ( KKF6N) - Variances

Hi SAP's
We are facing the problem with the Variance calculation for product cost collectors.
The issue is When we are calulating the Variances for prodcut cost collectors the actual costs are not ( For few materials of BOM) updating.
Because of these the variances are showing high.....If I settele this variances to COPA, my copa report is will be going wrong.....
Please help me to comeout of this problem.

Actual cost of FG batch

Hi all GURU's,
I had posted this thread earlier also but i had not got any reply on this. Hence I had closed that thread & now posting my query with this thread.
Please if anybody can throw some light on this..........
My BOM structure is as follows. The BOM is the multilevel BOM as shown below.
FG-----SFG 1 + RM 1 + RM 2
SFG 1----SFG 2 + RM 3 + RM 4
SFG 2-----SFG 3 + RM 5 + RM 6
SFG 3-----RM 7 + RM 8
All the FG, SFG & RM'S are the batch managed. All the fg & sfg's are maintained at the standard price in the material master.
Now assume that SFG1, SFG2, SFG3, batches are manufactured at the cost which deviate too far form the material master. This may be because excess/lower raw material cosumption & wide variation in the actual activity.
Now I want to know the cost of FG based on the actual costs of SFG & RM"S batches used. How can I do this in SAP.
Reagards,
MHP

Hi Rajesh,
I have tested what you had suggested in this thread,
Following are the findings
1) All the batches of the SFG & FG are valuated at mvg. avg. price. mentioned in the material master even if i am issuing double than planned material as well as double the actvity.
2) Since the batch of SFG is not valuated at the actual cost, the actual cost is not passed to the higher level.
One thing I can share with you is the warning messge which i am getting while making GR for the order by mb 31 which is as follows---
Material COLL FG plant XYZ1 valuated with valuation type instead of TEST2000
Message no. CK840
Diagnosis
Material COLL FG in plant PT01 cannot be valuated with valuation type TEST2000 because no split valuation is ever possible for that material in this plant.
System Response
The material is valuated with valuation type .
But in OMWC setting, Valuation Cat.-X Automat.(Batch) is active for the plant & material is assigned to the same Valuation Cat.-X in the material master. Since val cat is X there is no question of valuation type. As well as in OMWO split mtl val is active.
PLease suggest what can be wrong ???

Sales order costing - tracking of actual costs at sales order item level

Hi
We are going with sales order costing for services
Service material is non-valuated hence the scenario is non-valuated sales order stock
PP module is not implemented.
I am having following questions
1. How to track the actual costs at sales order item level? Is Internal order/CO production order is required to be created for the same?
2. Can I do activity confirmations directly from cost center to sales order item.
3. Can Raw material is issued directly against sales order item.
4. Is Sales order is a real or statistical account assignment object?

Actual cost at the time of Goods Receipt

Hi All,
When I create Goods Receipt, I am getting actual cost in WBS Element. As per customer request, When I do the Goods Issue then only actual cost has to come to WBS Element.
1. Is it due to statistical cost element cretaed for inventory account (BalanceSheet account)?
2. If statistical cost element not cretaed, will commitment raise?
(Or) Am I missing any configuration settings?

Yes, if you are using valuated Project Stock.

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 component values

Hi
We are facing an issue that actual cost component values in our system are not calculating correctly. We consider that there might be difference in our understanding regarding the calculation of actual cost component values.
Therefore I want to understand that how actual cost component values are calculated in SAP Material Ledger. I will appreciate if anyone can elaborate this with example and formula, used for calculation.
Regards

Hi Saad,
Please find below about the actual cost calculation in ML.
In ML single -level and multi-level material settlements are available. Multilevel price determination calculates the periodic unit price for a material. The standard price, the single-level differences cumulated in the period, the differences between planned and actual prices, as well as input material differences (multilevel differences) are all taken into account.
The material price calculated in multilevel price determination can be used for inventory valuation.
The actual price for each material can be updated to the material master for the closed period.
-During price determination, the system carries out the following calculation:
=>Daily Transaction
1) Purchasing XYZ Qty 20 Std : 10, Actual : 11
   Dr) Stock XYZ 200                   CR) GRIR 220

Ke24 cost of goods sold field reporting future price not actual cost.

Hi Guru's
KE24 line item report is showing a future price in the costs of goods sold field. Can this report be configured to show the actual costs of goods sold from the relevant accounting document.
thanks

Thanks Mr Ajay for understanding my question.
As I told mentioned in my initial question that I have created the GL:500000 (COGS) when CRM/SD issues the stock for delivery.
What my FI done is that the same GL (500000) is assigned both in GBB-VAX and GBB-VAY as per the client requirement.
Now suggest me as how to come out from this situation?
If I need to do Validation ,request you to give your guidance as how to do it as I never done.
Thnaks in advance.

KOB1 - Display Actual cost line items for Orders

Hi All
A production order has been settled. When the actual cost line items are displayed for the said production order in KOB1, there are multiple line items related to the production order that gets displayed.
The issue we are facing is, in one of the line item, the accounting document has one credit (Consumption a/c) and two debits (one debit is to inventory a/c and another debit is to price difference a/c). However in the report, in the offsetting GL column only one GL code (price difference gl account a/c) but appears with the entire amount.
Ideally two separate line items needs to be displayed with respective line items. Is this a flaw in SAP.
Can anybody throw some light on this and help me.
Regards
Prasanna

this is may be config issue.
can you explain with accounting entries for said line items and offsetting GL for each line?
regards.

Internal Order - KOB1 - Actual Cost Line Item Report

Hi Friends,
I need to understand how the KOB1 Report - Actual Cost Line Item works.
As per my understanding when ever there is cost posted with assignment to Internal order this report should reflect the amount.
We have a PO with account assignment to Internal order and Asset.
When Goods Receipts is posted the with posting key 70, the report is reflecting the amount.
When Invoice Receipt is posted KOB1 report is not reflecting this amount.
There is one Invoice receipt posted with entry
31 Dr
70 DR
86 Dr GR/IR
and the 70 debit amount is coming in the report.
So can any one please tell me does this report show all the entries with IO assignment or when posting key 70, 75 ,80,81 are used.
And also is GR considered as cost posting or IR considered.
This issue has been pending from 3 months.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks
Satish

The KOB1 line item report will show you any expense account posted to that order.
Basically you are the order collecting the cost. During the invoice receipt, the expense account are not involved, except in cases of a price difference.
The vendor account credit and debit to GR/IR are not concerned with the order.
