Actual costs and Planned Costs

HI Friends
I want to know the Main Tables from which i can get the Actual costs and Planned Costs for the given Cost element or object number
I tried with table COEP and i got actual costs up to all cost elements in the given controlling area and in given cost center , but for some cost elements, this tables does not have any entries...
So is there any other way to get these Actual costs and
from where i can find the Planned Costs
Reagrds Rk

Hi
I already checked these tables but i didn't get the exact data
for actual costs i checked COEP but some costs are missing there
and i could n't find the field BENKZ in coep table
I am comparing these values with the standard transaction S_ALR_87013611 
but not getting exact details in my program
can you please help me in this regard..
Does anybody worked on this transaction S_ALR_87013611 , then please explain me the logic how it is getting the actual and planned costs
Regards Rk

Target cost and planned cost

What is the difference between Target cost and planned cost in discrete production orders? Please advise.

Dear
Planned costs will be updated after creation of production order.
Target costs will be updated after delivery of the production order.
Plan cost = Plan qty X Planned price (std. cost estimate)
Actual cost = Actual qty X Actual price
Target Cost = Actual qty X Planned price (std. cost estimate)

Diff erence between target cost and plan cost

what is the diffenece between target cost and plan cost , in product cost controlling?

Hi
Plan cost is some thing anticipated cost i.e cost estimates here we can say the standard cost.
Target cost is the cost of (yeild) of the production at plan cost.
Ex: Standard cost for X product is 10
      production lot size is 100
      production yeild is 90
then your plan cost will be = 1000
and target cost will be       =   900
and the variance of 100 of 10 units will be as variance.

Standard cost and planned cost

Hi Gurus,
Can you illustarate the difference between planned cost and standard cost by taking one example.
Thanks&Regards
Janardhan Reddy.p

Hi Srinivas Muthyala,
I would like to confirm my understanding regard the points below also;
1. Production Variance is calculated by using PLANNED cost;
2. STANDARD cost is only the value for benchmarking; and
3. I found PLANNED cost = 0, STANDARD cost = x & MOVING AVERAGE cost = x (in some cases)
that means no issued production order.
Warm Regards,

Unable to copy Actual cost to Planned cost via CJ9CS

I am trying to copy actual cost to planned cost for secondary cost elements via CJ9CS; currently there is a variance.
How can I match my planned cost with the actual cost.
We have already applied OSS note 304119 and we are on ver. 4.7.
Has any one used enhancement COOMKPT4 and function exit EXIT_SAPMKPT4_010 Or is there any other way to copy the actual cost to the planned cost?
Thanks
Amit

Hi Sudhir,
Thanks for the quick reply.
CJEN won't work for us, we are trying to find a way to fix CJ9CS.
When we do CJ9CS the price is getting copied over from the price defined in KP26 instead of the Actual price.
We have to find a way for the system to disregard the plan price while copying and just take the actual price.
Any clues how we can do that?
Regards
Amit

Why we use different clearing account for GR/IR and planned cost clearing a

My client ask for using same account for GR/IR account and all planned cost clearing account.
i try to convince it should be different accounts but he needs a logical answer.
Why we use different clearing account for GR/IR and planned cost clearing accounts?

Dear friend.
u just tell him while doing GR it will debited n while doing IR it should get credited.hence we need to take diff G/L account or same account.

How to add "Cost Plan Version" and "Planned Cost" into CNE5 report?

Hi,
I would like to display Cost Plan Version(VERSN) and Planned Cost in the CNE5 report.
How to retrieve Planned Cost that based on the Cost Plan Version ?
Appreciate helps. Thanks.
Regards,
See Mun

Plan versions: A plan version is created in accounting and stores different cost plans for a project, such as an "optimistic" and a "pessimistic" plan.
Now coming to plan version 0 is verson where actaul cost is updated in your organisation.
Plan version 1 is used for the planning...
How to see the same in CJE5 is suggested by Virendra..
However there is no filed name planned cost in report but the name of the filed is Proj.cost sched.000
with which you can achieve your result.
path is run txn CJE5>give your Project no.> F8> in new screen> F5-->in new Window scroll down in the right side for the Proj.cost sched.000 filed > with select take the same to left side>Enter--> values will displyed for this field in your report.
similarly you can use the other fields as well... take help of F4, to know the meaning of fileds.
Regards

Function Module to Find Actual costs and Total Cost Commitments

Hi PS Experts ,
Please let me know if there is any function module to find Acutal costs and Total cost commitments by passing WBS element as Input .
Regards,
Karan

Hi Karan,
I think for actual cost - there is definately one FM availbale. Try to find it out.
Just ensure - if you are using Network Activity then you may have to pass NWA OBJNR into this FM to get actual cost. As some entry posting happens against NWA like Timesheet. Hope it will give you some idea to get rid on your issue.

Preliminary costing and Simultaneous costing

hello gurus,
can any one explain the difference between Preliminary costing and Simultaneous costing in Product cost by Period.
Regards
rihana

In product cost by period you are generally using product cost collectors. The preliminary cost estimate is the estimated cost for the product cost collector prior to manufacturing. The cost estimate is calculated when the product cost collector is saved and the estimate is based on the costing variant that is assigned. Simultaneous costing happens as a result of manufanufacturing and the confirmation process. It represents the cost of the materials, activitities, and overhead that are actually charged to the product cost collector. Typically, with product cost collectors materials and activities are backflushed. The amount of the backflush can be based on the preliminary product cost estimate or a standard cost estimate. Simultaneous costing uses a different costing variant then preliminary costing, so valuation strategies for materials, activities, and overhead can be different for both as well.
thanks,

What is the difference between est. cost, CPU cost, and IO cost

When looking at and execution plan there is est. cost, CPU cost, and IO cost.
Can someone explain these and more importantly explain which one is the most
important to tune and the step to take to reduce these cost to a respect level.
I have seen many program hit 10,000 cost and 1 Mio CPU cost and I need to get that down to improve performance.
I am running on 10.2.
Thanks
Mikie

Hi Olivier,
sorry to disagree but:

is just not right.
The amount of work to do for the database to get the job done (that is to deliver the requested results) may vary A LOT!
That is why there is a optimizer at all.
It's true: I/O cost model the time required to perform necessary read/write operations and CPU cost do the same for handling the data in memory.
With indexes, database features active and database versions the optimizer can choose from selecting different access, filter and sorting mechanisms to answer the db requests.
Usually there's not much you can do to the CPU costs - the database has it's internal rating concerning how "expensive" a sort-merge-join will be or a hash-distinct function.
What you can (and usually should) do, is to lower the main contributor to processing and I/O costs: the volume of data.
Therefore one will try to reduce the number of rows to be processed early in the query process. That can either be done by changing the selection itself or via the indexing scheme. Furthermore physical I/O might be reduced by using specific db features (compression, datablock sizing, bitmap indexes, partitioning etc.).
Anyhow, to come back to the original post: it's important to think of costs as time-to-execute modelled in CPU-activity and I/O-operations.
The goal is to deliver the result at the fastest - so, nobody should bother about the absolute numbers when it comes to costs. The question has to be: what execution time is meant with this?

What Is The Difference Between Budget Cost And Regular Cost For Resources?

What's the difference betwee budget cost and regular cost for resources?
Here is the explanation which I didn't understand from the book;
In planning your departmental retreat, suppose you
have specific budget targets
for certain cost categories, $2,500
for travel expenses, $500 for printing,
and $1,000 for conference room rentals. Using Project’s budget resource
feature, you can define your budget
for different categories
of items. You can then group your resources to
com-pare your budgeted
costs to your planned costs. This way, you
can view your travel budget
of $2,500 side by side with your planned
costs of, say, $3,700,
and immedi- ately see that your next
goal is to find a way to trim those travel
costs.

Hi,
You have to differenciate the proejct budget from the project cost:
The project budget is the amount of money which has been allocated to your project by the executive board based on the estimation you provided. This is not meant to be changed unless you go through a change request process, justifying why you need to change
(increase) the budget, meaning asking more money. Consequently it will not be related in MS Project with the tasks, assignments. It is entered on the project summary and can be meanly used in portfolio reports where you can consolidate yours budgets (you can
have several different budgets) among a set of projects.
The project cost is something which lives, changes along the project lifecycle. It is meant to be updated on a weekly or biweekly basis from the team members tasks updates approved by the project manager. Then the PM updates the remaining work thus the project
cost.
Hope this helps,
Guillaume Rouyre, MBA, MVP, P-Seller |
You say that the budget cost is total money which committee gave you for the project.
But the book refer budget cost for every resource. I don't understand that.
" In planning your departmental retreat, suppose you

costs. "
For example here travel budget cost is 2500 whereas planned cost is 3700. Planned cost of travel expense is created by the project manager. Who does define travel budget cost?
Let's say an employee's cost is 20 dollars per hour and I write it on the project. So how much is this employee's budget cost, Who does define it, From whom do I learn that data?

Planed cost and standard cost

hi sap guru's
What happens when u dont flag balance in local currency in gl master?
What is diff between planed cost and stand cost where will u give standard cost in MM?

Hi Ramu,
Generally the only balances in local currency will be checked for balance sheet items because it is mandatory to submit the balance sheet in local currency for outsiders/govt.
Standard Cost in the constant cost for a material. Planned cost is cost for the material for the future period. We will give Standard Price in Accounting 1 view of the material master.

Thanks guys.
Laimonas

Hi
Include this ZPP2 in a separate report group (GR51)... After that,
1. Create the transaction code,say, ZF01_TCODE from Se93
2. Choose "Transaction with parameters".. Press enter
3. Enter START_REPORT in the Transaction field and press Enter
4. Select the Skip initial screen and Inherit GUI attributes check boxes
5. On the same screen, scroll down to the Default Values table and select parameters D_SREPOVARI-REPORTTYPE and
D_SREPOVARI-REPORT.
6. Enter RW for the report type and your report group ZCC8 as the report value
7. Now you can save your transaction and transport it to other systems
