Hi Experts,
I have similar problem. We have created 7 Labor type item for 7 BOM since we have different rate for each BOM item.
I already check the following,
Valuation Method = Standard
Item cost is not null we encoded the rate already
GL method is set by item group
WIP inventories and WIP variance is already set.
Issuance Method is Back Flush
My problem is 2 of of 7 BOM item has no additional cost n the journal entry (zero amount)when we received FG quantity . I already compare the master data , all set up is the same except for item cost which has different rate.
Please help ASAP

How can i calculate my planned and actual labour cost with fields from tab

Hi,
i want to calculate my planned labour cost for all operations in my production order. how can i retrive form the tables and how the actual planned cost gets calcualted. where can i see the overhed calcualtion of the material and labour.
please suggest.
regards
madan

Hi,
Planned cost is nothing but the Standard values which you give for each opearation in the routing.
The actual values from the confirmation for production order
The following table and fields you can get the values
PLPO, AFVC - look for setup time,labor time,machine time fields
AFRU - look for the required fields setup,labor,mcahine time etc
Thanks and regards

Actual Labour Costs against production order

Hi,
I am currently getting some production orders with no labour costs coming through. We use Activity Types maintained within Routings to capture the labour cost.
I have checked that the Activity Type and Routing details are linked correctly. But when i view the cost analysis in the production order the "Total actual Costs" field is blank.
When i view the "operation" details in the production order and look at the tab "Qty/Activities" i can see the actual labour confirmed in hours but the "Activity Type"field in this tab is empty. I'm assuming that this is why there is no labour cost in the cost analysis view.
The order has been confirmed correctly and the Activity Type is valid with the correct values. The work centre is maintained in the Routing and the same work centre is used in the production order.
I would appreciate any help.
Many Thanks
Nisar

There are 3 cost variants in play that calculate labor costs- each with their own rules (ususally very similar)
there is the Variant for the cost estimate (with qty structure)
there is a production order PLAN variant
there is a production order ACTUAL variant
For the production order the variants are visible on the Control data tab.
Each of these variants has a "valuation variant" to define the method to caclulate activity
Questions:
in the cost analysis, is the PLAN labor cost empty also? If yes, then the activity is priced and and the Plan variant is working.
Does the material have a released cost estimate and a labor component? if yes then the activity is priced and the std valuation variant is working.
If you get one or two yeses - someone needs to review the other valuation variants (OPN2)
If there are no yes, someone in CO should be reviewing their masterdata, activity pricing and valuation configuration.

A Standard RRB report that shows actual project cost line items .... ?

A Standard RRB report that shows actual project cost line items but that also shows amount/qty by rejected, billed, to be billed, postponed?
I'm looking for something that will allow project managers to reconciile with the RRB totals and be able to dril in a see a level detail not available in RRB to decide what should be billed, what should should be deferred (postponed) and what should be rejected out of hand.
Thanks.

Thanks Virendra Pal but the VAx5 reports are not really the answer - maybe a custom report will be required right enough.

Actual Freight Costs - Production Order

How can we include actual Freight Costs (to be paid to outside Vendor) on a Production Order?
We need to be able to create an Invoice to our Vendor for freight (or other services) but shouldn't this be linked to the Production Order?
Any help appreciated - sorry if this is a dumb q, i'm very new working with Production Orders.
I appreciate any help - Thanks

Maintain control Key - PP02, maintain the external processing details in the operation details view. i.e. maintain price, vendor & other reqd. details
If you do this on a regular basis maybe you can set up an Purchasing Info Record, which you can then assign in the routing operation, thereby each new order will carry this information.
If you're not quite sure, do a test in your sandbox, also search for operation sub-contracting in this forum, you should find a lot of info, also on SAP help.
Revert if you face any specific issue.

Settling Labor costs

Hi Experts,
How do you settle any labor costs. I have created a secondary cost element and tied it an activity type. In the work order I enter 2 hours of this activity. Can I settle these costs from a secondary cost element to a primary one?
Thanks

HI,
once it is secondary cost you cannot bring it back to primary cost.
Best regards, Christian

Material & Labor Cost separate in Report

Hi Experts,
i have some list of orders now i want to track the Material and labor cost separately.
Is there any standard report for the same.
Regards,
Kavvya

Normally cost analysis is done by order type wise, plant wise & palnner group wise with respect to technical object(FL/Equipment). If you club all order then you will not have any meaning ful analysis. As such one report for material consumption(goods movmt in order) is there -IW3M.
You will have to develop customise report (use table PMCO)

DBM labor cost in the pricing

Dear Friends,
We plan to use DBM Time Management . When the technician clocks in time, the labor cost hits the internal order correctly. But, the same cost doesn't hit my labor cost condition type in the pricing. Due to this, my profit center in the billing is wrong.
What am I missing here? Couldnt find any documentation regarding this
Appreciate your help
Best regards,
Shafi

Hi
if you want to have your profit margin on the SD order 100% accurate this is the only way but this will have a big impact on performance. As normally labor rates don´t differ so much I would recommend to create a condition type where you maintain the average labor rate. This gives you a profit margin as well but not as accurate.
In CO PA you get the right figures but normally you don´t do this order level

Actual Overhead Cost Splitting

Dear All,
We have 5 direct activity types and 3 overhead activity types in the system.
Plan Overhead cost splitted perfectly aginst the 5 direct activity types based on the activity quantity,
but when it comes to actual splitting:
1.the system splitting the cost eually in NEGATIVE among the 5 direct activity types instaed of splitting to 3 overhead activity types
2. system considering the all direct activity cost as part of one overhead activity types.
I am unable to understand how the system is behaving while splitting actual overhead costs to direct activity types
Can sombody throw any light on this issue.

Actual overhead cost variance adjustment.

Hi,
I have created an process order with different activity types.
Say i have created an order for 500ton whre my system has generated an planned cost for overhead rs 550 for salary.
now i go to KGI2 to calculate actual overhead cost.
In actual client has paid 600 rs in salary. So in KGI2 should enter rs 600.
I donot find any option to edit the cost to enter 600 rs.
please any of u let me know the solution.
Regards
PAVAN

Dear,
Tcode KGI2 is correct but first check whether your cost sheet has done correctly or not.You have to give overhead percentage (Actual & plan) in Tcode KZS2.and assign proper cost element for credit
Check Costing sheet, % of OH and Transaction code KA06
