Actual Costing/Material Ledger (CO-PC-ACT) - Actual costing

Hello,
I have same problem with actual costing in material Ledger.
When I perform the actual costing a price differences that belongs to materials (orders) which at the end of the period are WIP, remain not split and don not book them on Accruals and defer.acct(material ledger) (OBYC - Transaction LKW).
Moreover,  in the following month, system does not taking into account the value.
Does anybody had similar problem or  knew how tu handle it?
Thanks in advance,
Rafal

Hi Rafal,
there is a functionality built into acual costing to cover this:

  • 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 Costing - Material Ledger

    Hi BI guru's,
    In ECC T Code : CKM3N , it will get fixed  and variable values based on Standard Price and Period Unit Price.
    Periodic Unit Price is getting data(Fixed and Variable Vlaues) with Cost Componentwise from Data Source :0CO_PC_PCP_01.
    Which Data Source / Which Table  will get  Stanadard Price values with Cost Componentwise.
    Could you anyone help me out.

  • Material Ledger-Periodic Unit price-Overhead cost calculation

    Dear Friends,
    My client using ML periodic unit pricing for reporting purpose.
    Costing analysis with Standard price,I can  be able to trace out how O/H would be calculated and derived into cost analysis.But with periodic unit price, the O/H figures are differnt from  cost analysis with standard price.Iam unable to trace out how O/H is getting calculating in case of Periodic unit pricing.My client would like to know why the O/H rates are differnt and from where we are derving in case of periodic unit price.
    Could some one tell where I can find out the configuration setting for O/H rates maintenence for periodic unit pricing. 
    Thanks & Regards.
    Ram

    HI  Ajay,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I can find the O/H rates as you said but none of the O/H rates are matching with periodic Unit price cost analysis.
    The main question was how O/H rates with periodic unit price are differnt from  O/H rates  with standard price ?.I greatly apprceciate for your answer.
    Thanks,

  • 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.

  • Actual Costing concept in Material Ledger

    Hi
    Masters , can any body please explain the concept of Acutal costing in material ledger i think that involves the following steps:
    1 Activate actual costing.
    2.Define userdefined names for receipts and consumption
    3.Assign user defined names for receipts and consumption /
    for the above 2 and 3 points what is the purpose we have to define and assign user defined names in coantrolling level selecting the B+ Procurement and V+ Consumption.
    thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Actual costing is a huge concept. It is difficult to explain the concept in few words
    Please go through the following link for detailed informaton:
    http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/print46c/en/data/pdf/COPCACT/COPCACT.pdf
    Configuration Points:
    Path: IMG>Controlling>Product Cost Controlling --> Actual costing/Material Ledger
    1. Activate Material Ledger for valuation areas
    2. Assign Currency types to Material Ledger Type
    3. Assign Material Ledger Type to Valuation Area
    4. Configure Dynamic Price Changes
    5. Define Material Update Structure
    6. Assign Material Update Structure to a Valuation Area
    7. Activate Actual Cost Component Split
    8. Activate Actual Costing
    Coming to your Questions 2 and 3. they are required to be created if you want your own Controlling level for transactions that you would like to differentiate in the material ledger, further than the standard system offers. Normally we don't use unless there are some specific business requirements
    Some key points would be:
    ML records all receipts, consumptions and variances for each material.
    ML gives overview for each material of the starting balance, receipts, consumption, variance and ending balance.
    ML calculates the actual cost for each material u2013 finished goods, packaging.
    If a material has BOM, variances of lower levels are rolled up to next higher level up to finished goods, to calculate actual cost for raw material, semi finished & Finished goods in ML as unit price.
    Calculated actual cost at end of month can be used as standard price for next period in the material master.
    SAP MM is on standard price based costing, ML can do monthly average costing.
    Direct settlement of all kind of price differences / exchange rate difference/ to materials at the end of the period.
    Once activated , it is not that easy to deactivate although possible with implications like not having historic data.
    Cannot be used in isolation : All the plants within the company code shall be material ledger active.
    Material Price change is not possible after first transaction in that period.
    Using material ledger, inventory in US plant in Canada will be available in USD and CAD
    Hope this would help you.
    Best Regards

  • Material ledger- pipeline materials actual costing

    Dear all,
    I am having problem with pipeline materials not being included in multilevel actual BOM in Material ledger actual costing. My client need information about actual quantity of pipeline material (natural gas) being consumed in multilevel production. I am not sure if pipeline materials are subject to actual costing/material ledger. Actual cost component is showing the amount of costs of natural gas, but in multilevel BOM, pipeline materials are not included. Am I right about this?

  • Material Ledger,Revaluation Production Cost Center ,Standard Cost

    Hi, I have a problem with  revaluation of production cost centers.
    Firstly,  production cost center expenses are settled via activity types onto the production order at the end of the period. However,  CKMLCP revaluate cost centers after the settlement because of using standard price. So cost centers at the end of the period have some amount.
    As a result we can not find  actual price for production orders.
    If I use standard cost in order to consume on cost centers, material ledger revaluates again this cost centers. I dont want this condition. Because this cost center is settled to other cost object before closing.  
    Thanks.

  • Standard cost estimation after goods movement when material ledger is activ

    Hi!
    our client is activated material ledger, for some materials standard cost estimation is done till marking but not released.
    goods movements have been posted for those materials.
    Now system is not allowing to release the standar price for those material in the current period, as material ledger expects same price for entrie period.
    what is the alternative way to update the standard price for those materials ( with out reversing the goods movements).
    regs,
    ramesh

    Hi Ramesh,
    When you are using Material Ledger, after goods movemnets for materials, no need to change the standard cost estimate as Actual costing run will take care to derive the PUP price.
    If there is no standard cost estimation release for sold materials (e.g.FG), you will get an error message duirng the billing document release to accounting. To aviod this error, if you are using split valuation (valuation types) and mixing ratios (CK91N & CK94), try with the below steps:
    Create a new valuation type for the same material
    Crate CK11N & CK94,
    Run CK11N
    Run CK24.
    Then release the billing document.
    Let me know if you need more details.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Valuation area not yet productive with material ledger

    While doing goods receipt at MB1C,i got the below error:
    The description of the error is given below
    Valuation area XXX2 not yet productive with material ledger
    Message no. C+020
    Diagnosis
    The material ledger has been activated for the valuation area but material data has not yet been converted in this valuation area.
    Procedure for System Administration
    If you want to work with the material ledger, choose Accounting -> Controlling -> Actual Costing/Material Ledger -> Utilities -> Production Startup.
    There you can convert the data for the material ledger by following the instructions in the online documentation.
    Note
    Setting the material ledger to productive cannot be undone.
    See also:
    Actual Costing/Material Ledger in the SAP Library.
    The implementation guide for Actual Costing/Material Ledger.
    Can you kindly suggest me how to fix this error.
    Regards
    Sabera

    Hi Sabera,
    The Valuation Area is not activated for your material ledger. Go to SAP Access>>Accounting>>Controlling>>product cost controlling>>Actual Costing>>environment>>Production Start up>>Set Valuation area as productive.
    If you already activated Valution area in to Productive Statge.
    Then go to T.Code OMX1 and for your valuation area XXX2 tick the ML activation box.
    the error wont come

  • Material Ledger to be activated for a Plant in Live system

    The scenario is as under:
    The Company is already live with about 10 Plants under the Company Code. For one of the Plant we want to activate Actual Costing /Material Ledger. Are there any risks or likely issues?
    Thanks,
    Sanjay

    HI,
    This sort of implementation in the live system happens every where and there is no risks involved.
    There will be some challenges might be.
    1. We need decide, are we going to have raw materials with pricing control S or V.
    2. Are we going to have actual price of last month is going to be new planned price of new month or not?
    3. Is it only for reporting purpose or more than that? like inventory control sort.
    4. User training

  • Post closing entry in Material Ledger

    During running og Material ledger last night, in CKMLCP, we ran post closing entry before we release the cost through CKME. When I tried to release tcode CKME and CK40N, the system gave error message as below:
    Price changes for material 200001  is not possible
    Message no. C+811
    Diagnosis
    You want to change the price or release planned prices for material 200001 with valuation type  in valuation area 2100. You have, however, already entered actual data or performed a single-level price determination in the period concerned. The status of the material in the period is Quantities and Values Entered.
    Price determination indicator 3 assumes that the standard price remains constant throughout the period, so that all movements can be valuated preliminarily with the same standard price.  Therefore, you can only change the standard price at the beginning of a period (i.e. as long as no actual data was entered).
    System Response
    The system does not allow the price changes or the release of planned prices for this material in this period.
    Procedure for System Administration
    In the future, to automatically release your planned prices upon creation of new actual data you can allow dynamic price release in Customizing for Actual Costing/Material Ledger.
    How I can release my standard cost for period 01.05.2010 to 31.05.2010. Please help
    Edited by: Ahmed EL Zain on May 1, 2010 10:49 AM

    Hey,
    What you described is the standard system behaviour.
    The price change or release of a cost estimate should always be the
    first transaction in a new period, when Material Ledger is active.
    Once period status = 30, the standard price cannot be release or
    changed. For more details please see note 190707.
    The only possible workarounds are as below:
    - postponing the costing release to next month
    - reversing transactions and usage of note 574930
    - using the option LTPC　from note 555176

  • 3 valuations in Material ledger

    Hi,
    My client's requirement is as follows:
    1) Legal valuation has to be in Local currency but on Actual Costing
    2) Profit Center Valuation in Local currency but on standard costing - same as Group valuation
    3) Group Valuation in Group currency in standard costing - Group valuation
    Is this possible when, Actual costing Material ledger implemented?
    I imagin, Legal valuation field in Material Master will be updated by periodic unit price when we run CKMLCP.  Then Profit center valuation field in the Material Master will be updated when we run CK40N in standard costing PC valuation costing run.  Then again we will run ck40n in standard costing for Group valuation to update Group valuation in Material Master.
    If my client opts to run ck40n for legal valuation, then he should also be able to mark and release standard cost new price, in Legal valuation field of material master and actual costing will not release standard price for new period.
    The requirement is typically complicated, as my client wants to maintain his Global template, though one country comes under actual costing requirement.
    I would like to dig out answers from real time experience please.
    Cheers,
    Ashok

    I can give you some information but not everything.  I have gone through the deployment of material ledger using 3 valuations, but not the ones you are using.  We used Local, Group and Group at Group.  All 3 are at actual costing.  What this means is that the local currency is the currency in the country where the plant exists.  The group valuation is a straight conversion to US dollars from the local currency based on the currency conversion tables M and P rates.  Note that both of these first two currencies can include intercompany profit if reflected on the transferring sales order between companies.  The Group at Group is the US dollar conversion without the intercompany profit.  We find this works for our business.
    The other thing about material ledger is that you need to have a standard cost estimate so that material ledger can keep track of the cos component structure.  The way it works is as follows:
    Say the standard estimate shows labor=$100, materials=$200 and overhead=$300 for a total cost of $600.  All transactions in the month using this material use the $600 standard.  Now, when material ledger is run at month end, the PUP (periodc unit price) is calculated and let us assume the PUP values are labor=$150, materials=$250, overhead=$350 for a total PUP of $750.  Material ledger already has tables with the details of the standard components against every transaction.  Now it will apply the remaining adjustments totalling $150 to the proper cost components for COPA purposes.  This is pushed to COPA using transaction KE27.  Think of it like this...Actual cost is equal to standard ($600) plus/minus variances ($150). 
    Therefore, you always should have a standard cost estimate when using material ledger.  At least that is my usage and understanding.  I hope I provided useful information for you in some way.

  • T-stock price differences were not distributed by Material ledger

    Dear All,
    We have configured T-stock (Stock in transit) for movement types 601,921 in t-code OMJJ and have assigned this movements types to movement type groups of material ledger in  spro: Controlling -Product Cost Controlling -Actual Costing/Material Ledger -Material Update -Assign Movement Type Groups of Material Ledger. We use movement type group  CF with revaluation of G/L account and CO account assignment .
    Than we have performed operations with T-stock movement types.
    However, in ckm3 we don't see any G/L account in consumption line. In ML document there are no movement type group CF
    During actual costing run (t-code ckmlcp) system requires COC.
    We have analysed CKMLMV005 table data. For movements types with T-stock system puts V_REST in field User-def.name.
    And there are no G/L account.
    How can we solve this issue?
    With best regards,
    Kamila.

    Hi Kamila,
    SIT supports the revaluation to the original account.
    Please check if the ML document has not updated the
    movement type group CF, hence the revaluation of consumption points
    to the COC account.
    Therefore, there are two possible reasons for the revaluation going
    to COC in the example:
    1. The 601 T movement was posted before the customizing was carried out.
    2. The customizing is incomplete for the Revaluation of consumption in transaction OMX0.
    For instance if currently, there is one entry for 601 T:
    601 T L E -> CF
    Please, try to include additional entries for 601T:
    601 T     -> CF
    601 T L   -> CF
    601 T   E -> CF
    Please, try this in a test system, post the 601 T movement afterwards
    and check the results.
    Best regards,
    MLM
