Actual Template Allocation - Process Order Handling

Hi all
Could somebody give me some input to an issue I am facing.
I am working on a best practice baseline for Chemicals and have setup a Template to allocate overheads to materials. The allocation is fixed no matter the lot size of the process order.
At month end when running the closing process I use the transaction CPTD to allocate the actual template overhead to each process order.
However this transaction picks up and re-allocates overhead to process orders already confirmed, delivered and settled.
This is of course not what I expected as these orders have been fully completed, so I am thinking that I am missing step in closing down the process orders correctly.
Is there a status on the process order that will cause that order to be excluded from the CPTD, or am I missing some configuration?
Thank you in advance

Hi
I am using environment 9 yes.
My formula is very simple:
On Object I have:
SenderCostCenter = '130570' AND
SenderActivityType = 'LABORA'
And then I have simply put "1" in Plan Quantity and Actual Quantity.
So what it does is it allocates the unit cost of the combination of cost center 130570 and act. type LABORA one time to each material/order no matter lot size.
Should I perhaps have put "1" into the Plan Fix and Actual Fix instead?
Thanks

Actual template allocation duplicate order posting

Hi,
We recently upgraded from 4.6C to 6.0. We use template allocation to allocate overhead to our process orders at month-end. We are doing our first month-end since going live on 6.0. When we ran tcode CPTD (actual template allocation) it posted the debit quantity and value to the process order twice, and the credit value to the business process only once. Therefore, the CO document is out of balance. We then run tcode CON2 to revalue the postings at actual price. Because of this error, we have a remaining un-allocated balance in our business processes for this month. We also have incorrect costsallocated to our process orders. How do we correct program CPTD, and correct these postings?
Thanks...

CPTD - Actual Template Allocation on Process Orders - V.Urgent

Hi,
We are doing period closing for June'07.
We are using Activity Based Costing templates for Overhead allocation.
While executing T-Code CPTD (Collective processing) for Actual Template Allocation for Allocating Overheads for the month of June, the system is allocating
Overheads on all Process Orders confirmed till today i.e.it is wrongly
allocating Overheads for June, on process orders on which there has been
no production confirmed in June, but the Production was confirmed only
in July.
We expected the system to allocate Overheads only on Process Orders on
which the Production was confirmed in June,07.
Points will be awarded for providing solution.
Regards,

Error in actual template allocation for Business Process

Gurus,
I am facing a strange problem in actual template allocation for business process (T-code: CPAS). When I am doing a test run, the system gives the result with a message "Processing completed with no errors", However when I have unchecked the test run and ran the allocation, system shows me the result, however no posting takes place. The message I am getting is:
"Data not updated due to errors". The details of this error message are:
No information was found
Message no. GU444
Diagnosis
The system could not find the necessary information.
I am absolutely clueless and have no idea where things have gone wrong. I have maintained the activity and cost center properly. The template I am using is also ok.
Request your help on this. Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Snigdho.

Hi ,
With such kind of error " "Data not updated due to errors". " its very difficult so determine the exact cause of the issue .
Did your selection parameters in CPAS has a tick on detailed list . Please tick the detailed list icon and run KPAS again and let me know if you are getting more detailed error from SAP.

CPTD Error during actual template allocation

Hi,
When i am trying to do CPTD (Actual template allocation) i am getting the belwo error message
System status CRTD is active (ORD 1094052)
Message no. BS013
Diagnosis
Object ORD 1094052 has system status CRTD (Created). According to this status, transaction 'Actual activity allocation' is not allowed.
Procedure
You can only carry out the requested function if this is allowed according to the status of the object.
But I am running for period 3/2010 and this order is created in period 4/2010. I am not getting how this order is selected when i am running for period 3.
Please help me
Thanks & regards

@Sudhakara Reddy,
Could you help me understand how a costing run (CK40N/CK11N) is related to an order status?? Costing run is for product cost planning which is product specific.
CPTD transaction is for actual templace allocation and not for costing run. I failed to understand the link between your response and the question asked!
Newsap,
I think creation date of an order not relevant for this transaction. You may also want to check sapnote # 309588.

Std Costing and Actual costing at process Order

Hello Friends,
Followings are the client requirements, Please give me your ideas :-
1 . Costing variant is same for all three - costing run, process order (plan and actual), means there is no prices variance on process order level. ( material at std price, Activity plan price, overhead fix%)
2. Alongwith this above client also need to capture actual result (material at MAP, activity at monthly actual price, overhead fix %)
In this case there is price and usage variance can see.
Now as I think that both scenarios are not possible on process order level. According to me we can do by a customize actual costing cockpit.
Need your openion that do we have any option thru standard funcations of sap to get this requirement. If you need any other explanation , please do let me know.
Thanks
Ravi

Thanks friends. I have done.

Actual Hours on Process Orders

I am evaluating different technologies to collect and enter actual working hours of operations staff into SAP process orders. Does anyone have an ideas or solutions to accuratly collect and transfer the information? I am looking for some automation into the collections and data transferring process.

Hi
Have you considered looking at the partners under Human Resources in the SAP store. I looked under HR and time collection and I found the following
B-COMM ERP 4 SAP ERP - from Kaba Work Force Management Kaba - Workforce Management, Time and Attendance, Access Control
Unfortunately I do not have any direct experience with this product, but during my searches it comes up many times. So I feel that it would be a good place to start.

Actual Costs and Activity Type - Process Order

Hi,
I'd like to know if there are any tables recorded with activity type and actual costs from process order.
Thanks in advance.

Changes in process order against actual/standard bom

Dear GURUS
We are from Process Industry.
Suppose there is finished material A. Components of A (BOM) for qty - 1
Component    qty.
   X                 1
   Y                 2
   Z                  3
One process order is created of A for qty 1.
Then I had deleted the component Z from the created po and change the qty Y from 2 to 3 or any one.
How can I track these changes against standard bom? Is there any report for same.
I would also like to know the deviation in process order against standard bom and issued qty against BOM.
I try Tcode COOISPI . Table STPO and RESB but not getting success.
Also try MCRX, MCRE but it show actual issed against process order qty. But I would like to see diff. bet. Actual BOM , Process order and actual qty.
Regards
Rajan

Hi Rajan,
I think that this kind of control is designed in SAP through CO, meaning that in product cost controlling you have 3 sets of costs: standard as per BOM, target as per the definition in the the production order (e.g. after you changed the components), and actual as per the actual goods issues.
These sets contain not only costs data, but also quantities.
There's also very nice functionality to do a variance analisys between the three, again, not only cost but also quantity.

Overhead cost template allocation

Hi All,
Can anyone please provide overhead cost template allocation configuration steps with print screens.
Regards,
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
Templates are nothing but a tool for complex calculation of formulas .
Templates can be used for formula planning , activity allocation or overhead cost allocation . Enviornment of template tells you what you want to do with a template .
If you want OH Calculation to product instead of a Costing Sheet .. use enviornment "1" for Plan and "9" for actual.
You have lot of pre-defined SAP complex formulas available in the templates which you can use..
Template Creation
Enviornment varies with requirement and config will also varry , considering you are using templtes with enviornment 1 and 9 ( for Cost Allocation to Product )
Transaction CPT1 :-
1. Enter the name of the template and environment 001 2. Inside the template Type = Cost Center / Activity Type
3. Description = as you please
4. Object = Use the sender object .. either cost enter or combination of CC and AA whatever you need :
SenderCostCenter = 'XXXXXX' AND
SenderActivityType = 'AAAA'
or you can use the screen in bottom right to input the formula
5. Plan Quantity = Use the screen bottom for formula or use your own one ..
BomItemAlternativeQuantity( AlternativeQuantityUnit =
MaterialBaseQuantityUnit, ConditionField = BomItemComponents,
ComparisonValue = 'XXXXXX' )
6. Plan Activation = ACTIVE
7. Actual Quantity = Use your own formula using predefined SAP formulas
OrderMaterialQuantityConf( Material = 'XXXXX' )
6. Actual Activation = ACTIVE
Assignment of the Template
1. Create a OH Key using SPRO > Controlling > Prod Cost Controlling > Product Cost Planing > Basic Settings for Material Costing > Overhead > Define OH Keys
2. In Transaction OKZ2 Create OH group and assign that to the OH Key created in 1
3. Create Cost Sheet (only code and name) in SPRO > Controlling > Prod Cost Controlling > Product Cost Planing > Basic Settings for Material Costing > Overhead > Define Costing Sheets
4. In Transaction KTPF assign Controlling Area : Costing Sheet : OH Key : Template Environment : Template
5. In material master costing 1 view assign the OH group to the material (standard cost estimate reads this)
6. In the master data of the order assign the costing sheets and OH key etc so that the actual template allocation can happen.
Execution
Plan template is not required to be executed. At the time when you run CK11N or CK40N it is taken care of.
Actual Template allocation can be done with transaction CPTA - Individual Processing and CPTD - Collective Processing
I hope you would find this useful and you can further explore templates for the various formulae that you can define using th bottom right hand side in the screen of CPT1 to create magic in allocation. What I told here is very basic.
Thanks
Rafi

Actual rates (KBK6) is not getting picked up for CPTA (template allocation)

Hello Experts,
I am using template allocation for the purpose of overhead calculation. I maintained rate in KP26. It is getting pulled up when I ran standard cost estimate. This is correct
Now I want to run CPTA (ie. charging overhead at month end) using actual rate. Hence I maintained actual rate in Tcode KBK6. Actual rate is little bit varying with KP26 rates. Hence I want to run CPTA with actual rate.
When I executed CPTA, I saw that system is picking up KP26 rate and not KBK6 rate. Please help me. How system will pick up KBK6 rate for CPTA.
--Meena.

Hi Meena,
The correct sequence of closing should be:
1. Template Allocation - CPTA
This will post activity allocation from CC to your production order at PLAN price.
2. Calculate Actual Activity Prices - KSII
This will calculate actual price based on costs posted to CC and activities allocated (try to avoid KBK6 in your testing but rather calculate actual price properly). It will also credit CC but will NOT debit the order.
3. Revaluate your production order - MFN1
This will debit the order with the difference between plan and actual activity price.
Please kindly read SAP Note 156563 - Settlement after activity allocation/revaluation.
It explains revaluation logic in detail.
If in your case CPTA generates activity allocation between CC and order (valued at plan price) and KSII calculates new actual activity price, MFN1 has to update the order.

Szymon

Process Order Actual Cost?

Dear Experts,
I understand that we need to run KSII - Actual Activity Price Calculation first before we run the Revaluation of Orders using CON2 in order for us to get the actual cost updated in FI at the end of the day.
Somehow, in SAP Best Practices (BPD) Business Process Documentation, never ask us to run KSII and CON2. It just asked us to run KKS1(variance calculation).
My question is that do we need to run KSII and CON2 to get the actual cost updated in FI or just KKS1 will do?
regards,
Abraham

Dear Abraham,
What i know is the step that you running in Product Costing is:
1. KSS2 (Actual Splitting) --> you split the cost in Cost Center by Activity Type
2. KSII (Actual Price Calculation) --> you calculate the activity type price per Cost Center, you can see the result in KSBT
3. CON2 (Revaluate Activity Price) per Plant --> you allocate the expense in cost center to process order
4. KKS1 (Calculate Variance) per Plant --> you calculate the variance between Actual Cost vs Standard Cost (Standard Cost is come from SCE (Standard Cost Estimate) process)
5. CO88 (Process Orders Settlement) per Plant --> you settle the cost in Process Order to Material
From step 1 to 3 there is no update in FI just in CO, when you execute report S_ALR_87013611 you can find the allocation result and you can find Actual Activity per Activity Type.
In step 4, KKSI you only can calculate the variance between Actual Cost vs Standard Cost.
Posting in FI is happen in step 5, when you settle the cost in Process Order to Material (CKMLCP).
Your question is that do we need to run KSII and CON2 to get the actual cost updated in FI or just KKS1 will do?
My answer is yes, and you also have to run SCE to get the Standard Cost first.
Thanks,
Ferdinand

Error:Assign handling Unit from one Process order to another process order

Hi Experts,
I am facing different issues in assigning handling unit from one process order to another.
Business process:
1. Two similar Process Orders are existing in the system
2. Delivery is created for first process order using LP10 for one or more components
3. TO is created in foreground using VL06P
4. TO is confirmed by providing in stock available Handling Unit (HU) / storage Unit details Using LT12
5. Customized transaction is used to reassign newly created HU (created in previous step) from first process order to second process order. As a result many steps are performed in background for delinking the HU from first process order to second process order (including creation of different TOs)
I am facing different issues in the process:
1. Sometimes while confirming the TO in step 4: error is received as "Reservation item 0065 with material 4013959300300 does not exist" OR "Reservation item with material does not exist"
2. If the TO is confirmed in step 4. I am facing error in step 5 as "Warehouse number does not exist (new selection required)"
Both these errors are standard errors and I could not find much information on them in SCN also.
If anyone can throw light on any of them then it would be great.
Please let me know if any additional information is required.
Thanks
Harsh Aggarwal

Hi Manish
Thanks for your response. Actually, the customized program is used only in fifth step and not till TO confirmation so that error is not related to Customized program. However, in some cases I am able to do the confirmation but the error is received in 5th step i.e. Warehouse number does not exist (new selection required)"
Any further guidance you can provide. I will ask ABAP to check the customized program but the error seems to be a standard error.

Process Order Cost Analysis Target and Actual Quantity Missing

This is related to Process order costing .
Issue : Before activating Material Update field in Costing view 1 of Material master , we have created few process orders and Delivered .
Hence cost analysis shows Actual and target cost fields Empty in COST ANALYSIS report of order . After Updating field in Material master , New Process orders are calculated with Actual and Target cost .
Solution needed : How to do Actual and Target cost estimation back in cost analysis report for old process orders which are created before Material Update field ?

You have deleted the Component in the BoM.
Then you have created a production order, check if the start date of this order is after the date change in the BoM..... Can be that the component stills exists in the order ? Have you tried deleting the compoent in the order BoM ?
