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.
Regards
SU

Dear Mr Ajay,
Can you please help me 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

    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

    how to calculate overhead cost?
    i used KGI2. it did not work
    any idea may help

  • Actual overheads are not caluculated

    when i excute the transcation tcode:kgi2
    actual overhead cost is not updating the report. where  i need done mistake.
    please try to give the solution asap
    with regards

    Please check you are putting the correct order, period & year in t-code KGI2.
    Another thing that order must contain the cost for calculation for that period.

  • Dividing the overhead costs to production orders !

    Hi all,
    This is regarding the overhead costs split to different Production orders.
    The scenario is for e.g There are 3 production orders
    P-1
    P-2
    P-3
    and the first 2 production orders(P-1 and P-2 ) are assigned profit center 1
    and the last production order (P-3 )is assigned a profit center 2.
    In the costing sheet configuration the profit centers are defined and profit center 1 is assigned 10% and the profit center 2 is assigned 20%
    The overheads/ other direct costs should be split into 3 pdn orders in the % assigned to the profit centers.
    Is this possible? if so, let me know the methodology.
    Thanks and Regards
    Karpagam

    absolutelly possible
    if you have defined the % per PC in KZS2 and there are costs on the orders (as the basis for %)
    than you have to run KGI2 or CO43 (mass)

  • Actual Cost splitting

    Hi,
    Before I do the actual price calculation, I need to do actual cost splitting via KSS2. 
    Suppose that I have 4 activity types for one prod cost center and the operating rates are as follows:
    Direct Labor - 2.64%
    Indirect Labor - 6.92%
    Factory Overhead - 2.43%
    Depreciation - 2.75%
    Below are the plan fixed and variable costs for cost element Wages which I was able to follow based on manual calculations:
    Direct Labor: Fixed - 22,000; Variable - 113,000
    Indirect Labor: Fixed - 50,000; Variable - 0
    CE Wages is not part of Factory Overhead and Depreciation activities
    I did not use the plan cost splitting because when I uploaded the expenses, the fixed and variable portions have already been separated in the upload file.
    Suppose that I made an FI posting for the cost element Wages for the same production cost center amounting to 120,000
    The target costs as computed by the system and which I was able to follow also based on manual calcuations are:
    Direct Labor: Fixed - 22,000; Variable - 2,985.24
    Indirect Labor: Fixed - 50,000; Variable - 0
    My problem is in the splitting portion.   Assuming there is no splitting structure, system is computing the ff: control costs for cost element Wages:
    Direct Labor: Fixed - 35,206.79; Variable - 4,777.78
    Indirect Labor: Fixed - 80,015.43; Variable - 0
    For these computations, I am not able to follow the logic.  First I tried to compute based on the planned costs but it results to a very high variable cost.  Then I tried to compute based on the target costs, the resulting amounts are (following 2 splitting steps in SAP help):
    Direct Labor: Fixed - 38,830.56; Variable - 378.84
    Indirect Labor: Fixed = 66,830.56; Variable - 0
    Thanks in advance for your advise.

    how you find the solution?
    can you please explain me.

  • KSII, Can FI postings flow into Controlling actual cost splitting.

    Can FI postings flow into Controlling actual cost splitting and actual price calculation. I am trying post FI documents(FB50,FB60,FB01) with cost elements, activity type, quantity and cost center combination. I am able to post a document and then I do all the KSS2, in KSII is not able to show me that posting. I need to know, is it possible to move from FI to CO in tcode KSII , if yes let me know i am missing something. and i am getting an error message
    Message no. KP250
    Diagnosis
    The plan or actual activity for cost center , activity type  is 0. However, costs were planned or posted in period(s) 2.

    Hi,
    As you know, the system splits all activity-independent costs to the activities according to the following three step logic:
    -split based on target costs
    -if not possible split by splitting structure
    -in the last step if the above two were not possible split by equivalence numbers set in transaction KP26
    In your case, if there is no actual quantity for the cost center, then the system will split by equivalence number. Therefore please make sure, that the cost center has actual quantity.
    Further information is also provided in note 772794.

  • Cost splitting and Actual price calculation

    Dear all,
    What is the difference between cost splitting and actual price calculation?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Ar

    Hi,
    KSS2 (splitting) is fixed cost splitting based on defined splitting rules. Fix cost splitting means, although the cost are activity unindependent (=FIX) they are splitted to each actual activity unit,... (based on the splitting rule you use)
    This is/can be a prerequisite for calculating actual activity rates, which is done by KSII (actual price calculation).

  • Actual cost splitting - secondary cost element

    Hi All,
    My knowledge on actual cost splitting for cost centers are limited.
    Basically i am trying to use actual activity price calculation. In my splitting structure i have two different cost element group for two activities and i am using splitting rule 30 i.e., activity quantity. The system does the splitting perfectly based on the cost elements groups specified in splitting structure, but i am facing a strange problem. i have also allocated costs from different cost center to the prod cost center used for price calculation through assessment. But i havent used the secondary cost element in none of the cost element group for activities, but still the system is taking the cost of the allocated costs in secordary cost elements and allocates to both the activities in 50:50, which i am able to see in splitting showing as "division of activity-independed actual costs".
    Can anybody please let me know, is this the way it works or something has gone wrong.
    Thanks
    With Best Regards,
    GJ

    ".....the actual costs are distributed on the activity types according to splitting rules. If you have not defined any splitting rules for a cost center, the R/3 System splits actual costs based on the <b>equivalence numbers</b> for the activity types. "
    Your case could construed to be a missing splitting rule, because the cost element group is missing the secondary cost element within the splitting structure. As a result, the system may use the equivalence number of the activity types and distribute.
    Check the <b>equivalence number</b> of your two activities, it  may be 1 and 1 for both activities; hence those costs getting divided equally.  I suspect nothing has gone wrong.

  • Actual cost splitting error (Equivalence numbers)

    Hi
    I am facing an error during actual cost splitting (KSS2) . The situation is working fine in the case of Plan cost splitting (KSS4)
    I want to split costs in a cost centre based on equivalence numbers. But, i dont see any option of maintaining equivalence numbers for actual cost splititng. The option is available ONLY in KP26..
    Hence, I have maintained equi no.s only in KP26. This gives me error in KSS2 Quoting some divergence error. The message reads that activity price calculation did not converge
    It shows me a picture on screen which displays a loop between activity types. I am unable to understand it
    Can any one guide me on this??
    Any help wud be promptly rewarded
    Regards
    Ajay

    Hi Mahe,
      Here Kss4 Before cost centers are assigned Splliting Structure to cost center r not Plz check.Then Only it Work.Actuval cost Splliting is Working  Based On the Production Order Conformation and U r Fi entry Poistings Related to cost Planning.

  • T-code to confirm the Overhead cost  ?

    Hi
    Can any one let me the T-code to confirm the Overhead cost in a plant maintenance order.
    I have some overheads under plan cost. How can i bring the Plan cost to Actual cost for overheads.

    hi
    on what basis the overheads are calculated
    say 100 $ is actual cost in order what is the overhead on order
    what is the formulae to be used & set this formulae

    Hi :
    I'm using EK01 condition to catch all the cost booked against  the project object from PS, when I try DP91 to have DMR, it's return error "material determination error".. that's caused by overhead cost element is not configred in ODP1.

  • GL ASSIGNMENT OF ACTUAL OVERHEAD CALCULATION

    Dear Gurus,
    for actual overhead calculation, i go through transaction CO43.So just after executing for the plant based on the period, system automatically post all the orders to the specific GL a/cs. so i want to know where the exactly GL assginments happen, so that the system automatically post to those specific GL a/cs.
    Kindly suggest asap.
    Regards,

    Hi,
    The automatic assignment is normally done through OKB9 for a cost Center; Order, Profit Center.

  • Overhead cost

    Dear All,
    We have manufacturing set up,where in the client produces  diffrent kind of mother boards (FG materails ) in a Single Line :(i,e created as a one Production Cost center) .We have four activity types through which direct cost will be captured for each activity type for each FG material.
    Apart from the above,we have Facoty Overhead,Manfacturing Overhead,Admin Overhead & Other Overhead Cost.
    One way to bring this overhead cost to production cost ihat first allocate this overhead cost to Production cost center,then splitting of thse overhead cost among four activity types and finally arriviring at the actvity cost per hour ,which includes
    both the Direct Cost & Overhead Cost.
    But my client is not acepting this approach of aplitting and taking as part of activity cost.
    Client wants to allocate the  Overhead cost to different FG materials based on the no.of mother boards produced as overhead cost needs to be captured separately for each mother board production cost.
    Can any body throws some light on how to bring the overhead cpst as part of product cost (inventory cost),instead of splitting the overhead cost to activity types.
    Regards

    Dear Ajay,
    Dear Mr Ajay,
    I have explored the costing sheet concept and worked on this,but when I was estimating cost by CK11N,I could able to see Overhead Cost in the Cost Component View,but when I select Itemisation view,Overhead costs are not appearing.
    Please tell me what could be the reson for this .Am I missed any thing.
    One more concern I have that l when I estimate the cost by KKPAN,there is no item category for bringing the Overhead Cost.
    As you know that Category 'M' will be used for Material   ,Category 'E' will be used for Actvity Cost,similarly what item category to be used to bring the Overhead Cost.
    Please suggest.
    Regards
    Su

  • Overhead Cost Element not update

    Hi,
    I have created Cost sheet , assigned to Production plant, for FG Material,
    Overhear updated when run SCE, and production order also updated but after settlement secondary GL a/c with Credit cost center not update. in system show no value in particular overhead
    Please help me
    Thanks & regards.
    Vinu.

    Hi Ajay,
    Yeah I have maintained  inventory valuation (Fixed and variable costs)
    overhead cost should be calculate, Fixed and variable cost so i have maintained (Fixed and variable costs)
    in cost sheet i have maintained only plan rate  not actual.is it ok ?.
    Thanks & Regards.
