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.
Regard's

How to analyse actual cost for each operation in Process/Production Order?

Hi all,
IN SAP, I know that we can analyze plan cost for Operation in Process Order/ Production Order.
However, I can not analyze Actual cost for Operation .
I know the object when I good issue material is ORDER, not OPERATION.
But, as requirement of users, they want to analyze actual cost for each Operation.
CAn SAP do this analyze?
If Yes, What should I do in SAP to have this reports?
THanks in advance,
Emily Nguyen

Hi Emily,
as I see from one other message that you're using material ledger. Then your expectation is apparently to also see the actual costs of materials in your production order by operation.
This is not supported. Actual material costs are handed up in material ledger multi-level settlement from one material to the next, bypassing the production orders.
That means the production order will always contain the material costs valuated at plan price, not at actual price.
For activity prices that might be better, when you revalue the orders at actual activity prices with CON2. But even there I am not sure that it will always be assigned correctly to the operations.
There is currently an enhancement in development, the operation level costing. But that will affect more the planned cost side not the actuals. Might be interesting to learn more about your requirements and the use case behind.
best regards,
Udo

Total actual cost for a given PM Order

hello all,
how do i get total actual cost for a given PM order (in IW33 under cost tab we have total actual cost)..
is stored in table or do i need to use any function module.....
thanks in advance....

Hi Vinay,
You can use the following logic for extracting the Actual cost of a PM order.
Pass the Order No (AUFNR) in Table AUFK and fetch the Object number (OBJNR).
Pass OBJNR value in table COEP.
You can get the actual cost of the order in COEP table.
Please mark this as correct if it resolves your issue.

Actual Costs for Production Order

Hi All
I have a scenerio where they dont want any product costing methods say WIP,Variance calculation & Settlement.
When the Goods receipt is done for production order the actual costs and the Activity costs to be valuated.
Regards
Jayshankar.A

Hi,
In our case the Standard price is updated in the material master. For this, you need to create a costing estimate using T-Code CK11N and update & release in CK24.
When CK11N is executed the standard price is calculated for the material by taking Moving Avg Price of RM (Price indicator V) and the activity costs are calculated as per data given in KP26. These cost components are added and a final cost estimate is prepared, which is updated using T Code CK24.
the pre-requisites are:
1. BOM should be maintained.
2. Routing should be made.
For executing the same procedure for all the materials, you can use T Code CK40N.
Hope this is what you were looking for.
Revert for further details.

Rohit.

Confirmation with errors in calc. actual costs for PM-order

Hi,
We have a PM-order with notifications and good movements that has tecnical completion status and is already settled. So we want to set it with bussines completion status, but an error arises: "Unprocessed future change recs for order 5009385 prevent del. flag/completion"
We already checked for automatic goods receipt pending, backflushes, etc. and the only found is an error record in actual costs calculation (trn. COFC). Looking at this record the message says: "No prices could be determined for object Activity type CONA/900097/PM-100" (message KW 407).
We checked price set for the activity type and cost center and is set for all the periods of actual fiscal year. Then looking at the details for above message, we found the following: "No price could be found for object Activity type CONA/900097/PM-100 with price indicator 7 and value type 4"
The question is: why system is trying to get price for activity type PM-100 with price indicator 7 instead of 3 as usual for our PM-orders? How price indicator is defined from actual PM-order parameters? Any idea?
Regards,
mr.

Hi
Whats your activity type category? I believe it should be 1
Your point is right, price indicator shud be 3 because while confirmation system uses the planned rate.. And price indicator pertains to actual activity price..
Check whether you have calculated or maintaned actual activity price or not in KBK6

Calculating Actual Cost for Time Confirmation using a BAPI

Does anyone know how to calculate the Actual Cost when creating a time confirmation for a Plant Maintenance work order? I am using BAPI_ALM_CONF_CREATE to create the time confirmation for a work order, but there does not appear to be any options that will calculate the Actual Costs. This functionality would be similar to what occurs in transaction IW41 when creating a time confirmation.
I tried the suggestions on the OSS notes for BAPI_ALM_CONF_CREATE, but they do not seem to work.
We have developed Custom Screen using a handheld device to have production personnel enter there time spent working on a piece of equipment. Basically we are trying to get the same results on the handheld as we would get using IW41 where it runs the cost calculation based on the hourly rate setup in FICO.

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.

How do I update standard cost for split valuation material?

We are using split valuation on our maintenance material. Maintenance material is held in an inventory account separate from our production material. We have materials that are set up with a Parent material as variable, and child materials which are NEW or REFURBISHED or CORE.
The Child materials are set as standard cost. Some of the standards are old. Unlike our production materials, which have their cost standards on the Costing 2 tab of the material master, split valuation child parts have their costing on the Accounting 1 tab.
I attempted to update a cost standard by loading a future price manually in the material master. I was able to load a future price, but could not get it to release in CK24.
I have been unsuccessful in finding a process or procedure that tells me how to update a child standard once is already exists. There was one blog that said that the standards could only be released using CK24N if the quantity is zero. I attemped to update costs on part with zero quantity on hand. This was also unsuccessful.
I am looking for a process- ie 1) load a future cost using tcode XYZ, 2) Mark and release cost using tcode XYZ, 3) validate changed inventory value using tcode XYZ.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hi Govind
If your valuation variant reads MAP as the strategy sequence - Then average MAP will be taken... i.e. the MAP in the parent accounting view of the material will be taken
However, if your strategy sequence is intended to look for info records, then follow the link given in the earlier reply

LOADING ACTUAL COSTS FOR RE OBJECTS TO CUBE 0COOM_C02

Hi,
I use BC cube - 0COOM_C02. There is DS for loading costs of objects like cost centers, wbs, internal orders, network but there is no DS for loading costs of RE objects. At the moment,it is possible to see RE object like buildings only as part of the sender side (the origin of the cost).
Of course table COEP in R/3, which is the source of that data, does contain RE objects as part of the reciever side.
Is there a way to extract these records to this cube?
regards,
Hadar

Hello Scooby,
The number of records are bound to be less as there is a aggregation across request ids happening in the target z cube while in the lower cube the requests are not getting aggregated ..
Best and the only way to check is to use a query and check result sets by including and excluding the requids.
Please dont forget to grant some points ..
