Additive Cost and Variance Calcultion

We started using Tcode CK74N to enter additive costs for certian materials. I did the configuration needed in the costing variant and added a cost element for additive costs in the cost component structure.
Everything is working fine, when we run CK11n for a material that already have an additive cost estimate, the additive costs are being picked up and included in the cost estimate. if we mark and release the cost estimate the additive costs are being reflected in the new standard, so far so good.
My question is around the variance postings that happen once we enter a production order and settle the variance at period end.
lets look at this example
Assume the following:
Material X current standard = $100
Order X quantity produced =10 cases
Material X NEW standard after negative additive cost =$80
Scenario 1 (no additive costs) the total debits (Actual postings form material consumption and activity confirmation) to a the order = $900
The total credit was $1000 (standard*quantity produced) , a $100 in variance will occur, and the posting at settlement will be to Debit the price difference account and to credit the cost of sales account for $100. This is the normal case
Scenario 2 : We included a -$200 of additive costs for that material in the standard (new Standard is 80) , the credit to the order will be $800 instead of $1000 , which will make the variance -$200 and the posting currently is to DR cost of sales and credit price difference account for $200
The business and Based on scenario 2 wants to automatically generate a posting to the ACTUAL side of the production order equivalent to the additional variance caused by additive costs? which will put the variance back at 100.
They would like to see a credit to the cost element used in the cost component structure to book additive costs. and the reminder of the variance 100 in our example should continue to be booked to the same price different account .
If this is possible and right to do? what account should be used to offset this credit that being proposed to the additive cost element ? Because I assume that a new FI document should be created to record the credit?
Thanks for your help

Hey,
It depends a little upon the settlement rule of your process/production order.
If you are settling to the material (MAT), the price difference will only be accounted for with one line, without separation between difference coming from additive costs and other differences.
If you are settling not via within CO, you maybe have the possibility the way you settle, but I can not see how you can use such a logic in a settlement process.
What I would do, is to create a custom reposting program, which reposts the additive cost difference separately, after which the normal settlement can take care of the remaining difference.

  • Actual Costs , Planned Costs and Variance

    Hi,
    I know that there is a standard function module that gives the actual costs , tha target costs and variance, K_KKB_KKBCS_ORDER_REPORT. But is there any Funcion Module  for calculating the Actual and planned costs and variance?  or could the same FM be used for the purpose?

  • Additive costs and LSMW

    Hi ,
    I have LSMW for Additive cost upload, but unfortunately we have additive cost for all materilas  valid up to 9999 year so when ever we use LSMW for upload we need to hit (as it gives that screen showing previous additive cost estimate as it over laps) ENTER for so many times until we finish all materilas, so
    can any one please tell me how to delete all additive costs which is maintainted till 9999 , so that we don't get any messages during LSMW upload?

    Suraj,
    Don't mind As both my issues are inte-rrelated I am dragging our conversaton, I saw that Field in KEKO-KKZMA, but it is Just a indicator that says this product is having some Additive costs, But not the Dollar amount,
    S_ALR_87099930 the regular cost estimates report from the Field selection I can Have Additive costs but even this shows Blank, i really wonder "where can I see the actual dollar amount" or any Document that saves the data, Just Like a price change Document, as you said you guys developed the Z report (to be frank I couldn't do this in My last Project, Now I got the same requirement here with new Client) , If you can let me know the main Tables you (MARA, MARC, MBEW, KEKO, KEPH) you took as base,?
    and where can I see actaul dollar amount, even in CK76N It won't show "the dolalr amount" for materials it Just Lists all materilas from where you need to Click and go in side to see the dollar amount,
    If you want you can reply to below thread I will close  this Thread,

  • Product calculation in combination with additive cost and mixed costing

    Hello all,
    I want to calculate trading good. I have defined a mixed costing for this article. Additional I had entered additive costs for the same article. When I run the calculation, it works only with the definitions of the mixed costing. Does the calculation take either the mixed costing or the additive cost?
    Best regards
    Jürgen

    We also faced similar issue & had approched SAP for the same. As clarified by SAP,  additive cost with mixed costing is not supported.
    You may try using reference costing variant for this.

  • Additive cost not seen in production order and while settling hits PRD

    I am using additive costs for my product costing via CK74n.
    Cost estimate looks good since I have the valuation variants setup to include additive costs.
    But when I see the production order that is being created, all others costs are being considered except additive costs. They are recognized but not as a line item instead as a variance. When I settle the order the costs actually hit price difference account and not even the GL account that I had assigned for the additive cost. SAP did not consider the cost as variance even if it was showing up as variance initially. This as I understood is partly because of the settlement rule that I have in place which tells SAP to go and settle on the material (which is standard SAP to do since I want all the costs from the production order to settle on the eventual material going into stock) so SAP went on to settling on the material. Since the material is set as standard price the variance is being booked as a price difference entry.
    Ideally I would have expected the additive cost getting debited to the order and credited to the gl account that I assigned for the additive cost. The eventual cost (incl. additive cost) should hit the inventory.
    Am I missing a step?

    Hi Sapluver,
    Appreciate your prompt response..Please see my response in italics
    Few queries related to your post.
    1. So your standard cost got two part, one with quantity structure ( materials, labor, OSC etc) which the system cost automatically and one manual part, which is your additive cost. While costing system picks up this manual part from CK74N.
    I hope this part you got correct. Yes, the cost estimate is reading from both the qty structure and the additive costs and the cost roll-up is coming up correctly
    2. Now in actual cost controlling, i think System is not sure how to valuate your additive cost actual part.I agree, the additive cost does appear in the cost analysis section of the production order but does not show up as a line item initially. Instead it comes up as a difference item right in the bottom of the screen after totals have been displayed without any line item reference. As if the system is not sure how to display the line item. Once I have done the material issuance confirmation to the order, the additive cost got picked up correctly as I have set it up in the cost component structure as material overhead but again shows up only as variance
    Which method you used to debit your production order with additive cost, is it a normal journal entry or through some automatic posting through routing ( example OSC through Purchase order/Good Receipt).I probably need to understand your point more clearly? I am not manually debiting the production order at all for the additive cost. I was expecting SAP to debit the order the same way it does for overheads. Overheads too initially show up as variance but then when we run the overhead calculation KGI2 the overheads costs get debited to the production order. Was expecting similar behavior for additive costs. I am receiving the finished product from the production order into stock via MIGO goods receipt movement type 101. I was expecting the debit to happen perhaps at the time of settlement via CO88 but here the system posted it to the price difference account via account key PRD. This I understand the system did because the settlement rule is set to post all the costs on the material and the material has the valuation control as standard price; so the system is seeing the additive cost as a price difference hence posting it to the price difference account.
    System is unaware of the additive cost from actual cost point of view, there is no specification to additive cost from costing variant for actual cost. So you have to debit the order with the additive cost part.So do I manually debit the order with the additive cost? What about the price difference additive cost sitting on the order? Would appreciate if you can tell me the process steps for posting this correctly
    regards

  • Allocating Standard and Variances of Production Costs into CO-PA

    Hi Experts,
    I would like to ask you about the process of allocating eg. humal labour into CO-PA.
    Lets have an example:
    We have planned to spend 10 hours on some action. But actually we have spent 20 hours.
    When we allocate our time from some PC, we have to allocate actuals, that means 20 hours, which will come into CO-PA online.
    At the end of the period we run Production Order Settlement and find the variance.
    What will now happen do distinquish between the planned costs and variances?
    Thanks in advance for your answers!
    Kindly Regards,
    Radek

    Hi,
    I am not really sure about your question
    We have planned to spend 10 hours on some action. But actually we have spent 20 hours.
    When we allocate our time from some PC, we have to allocate actuals, that means 20 hours, which will come into CO-PA online.
    At the end of the period we run Production Order Settlement and find the variance
    The 20 hours will only flow to Production order and not to COPA online. 
    Whatever the difference between the planned actual vlaues in the cost centers, they will come a cost center variance report. It does not effect any where else.
    But if there are any balances left out (difference between the total cost collect to the cost centers and the cost obsorbed to production orders etc), this values need to be assessed to COPA using COPA Assessment cycles
    I hope i touched your question.
    Please do let me know if your question is different. If it is different, please rephrase your question
    best regards

  • Additional cost for finished goods

    Hi all,
    Here we are following fifo method valuation. we are using SAP B1 2007B PL 04.
    I have a doubt how do we account the additional cost like Rent, Electricity etc.
    and What G/L Account need to specify at determination level. Here we are determing G/L account with account groups.
    I have a document for that but that doesnt give me clear picture of additional cost and
    G/L accounts.
    Kindly explain me in details with respectives to G/L Accounts
    Regards
    Shashi

    Hi Shashi,
    static costs should be included in a BOM as standard cost items. This will add to the item cost of the finished product.
    Have a look at our Wiki here (Expert on Phone Newsletter April 2008):
    [How to include labour cost in a BOM.|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/B1/Howtoincludelabourcostina+BOM.]
    You can substitute other costs for 'labour'.
    All the best,

  • LOADING ADDITIONAL COSTS (change matches revenue cost of goods in Stock and

    Problem:
    we must add the cost of goods of the raw material (for which was made a check invoice) of the costs, which are arising and charged by different suppliers (transport, freight, insurance, etc. ..). These are already included in FI with fb60.
    The result should be:
    - From the consignment of goods entering, add (only in Warehouse (STOCK), NOT IN ACCOUNTING ') cost accessory
    - Do not change the quantity
    - Having the total cost of stock
    - Exploiting the average cost to FIFO must consider the total cost after additional adjustment
    Example:                                                                                data
    ME21N: purchaise order No. 321 = article 1000kg a price of u20AC / kg 2.30          01/07/2008
    MIGO: goods receipt PO confirms price quantity x (u20AC 23,000) batch 298          07/07/2008
    MIRO(enter incoming invoice): Check invoice OK per (u20AC 23,000) batch 298       07/08/2008
    Invoices received for costs Accessories:                                                                08/08/2008
    FB60: transportation bill on all'purchaise order above cost u20AC / 0.11 kg
    0.11 * 1000kg = 110 recorded in cost and accounting of stock.
    In accounting, the cost has been reported, in warehouse I need to reverse (add) u20AC / kg to 0.11 initial cost of u20AC / 2.30 kg without adjustments in general accounting, but only in warehouse value and not in the quantity.
    So in the end I should have:
    batch n° 298 -  kg  1000 at a cost of u20AC 2.41 (2.30 +0.11) for the year 2008. How should I do?
    thanks

    Hi Rahul,
    In My GRPO in all there are e items in 2, 3 and 4 qty respectively.
    During GRPO:
    Finished Product=149610
    During Landed Cost:
    Finished Product= 35764.22
    So (149610+35764.22)/GRPO Qty (9) = Per Unit Cost during GRPO (20597.135)
    Now when you sale against above GRPO then
    you COGS Will be
    In my invoice i sold all the above items in qty 1 each so
    COGS= Per Unit Cost during GRPO ( 20597.135) * Sales Qty(3)  Dr,
    Finished Product= 32634.71 (CR) does not come to this
    So this Finished Product 32634.71 (CR) is nothing but Per Unit Cost during GRPO*Sales Qty
    Am i doing something wrong ?
    Thanks

  • Material Ledger Actual costing - fully costed BOMs and variance type split

    We are in the process of activating material ledger and have 2 user

    ck13n.
    Do you know of any custom developement that might assist us in these

  • Huge Variance between Target cost and Actual Cost

    Hi,
    In Product Costing,I am getting Huge variance between Target cost and Actual Cost.It is showing the Target Cost as ZERO.Why i am getting this target cost as Zero? what could be the reason? Kindly help me in fix this issue.
    Thanks
    Supriya

    Dear,
    First do the GR final DEV for Production order
    You need to do the variance calculation in KKS2, then when you save the variance, the target cost is calculated.
    Target cost appear after GR.  And you will get the Variance also right.
    Please try and come back.

    Is bridge a part of the photography package (Photoshop CC and Lightroom)?  Or is there an additional cost?

    I've always found Adobe's website remarkably unhelpful on this point.
    It repeatedly promotes the fact that you get Photoshop + Lightroom in a single package - but minimal info on other inclusions.
    The most succinct explanation of all inclusions I can find is at the ever reliable:

  • Additive costs

    Hi friends,
    We have an issue related to Additive Cost. some costs which have been put live in the system since go-live have used additive costs to deliver the fixed ohd into the product cost instead of the purchase order condition type and
    when conducting a cost roll up (CK40N), we were finding that we were getting 2 lots of additive cost because we have loaded new additive cost values from 1st may but we think the reason is that the we have loaded additive costs via the upload (CK74)  but they are also pulling from the purchase order condition type so we are getting two lots of cost.
    So we think the fix is that purchasing must update their condition types and we realised that the additive costs shouldn't have been loaded and we have deleted the additive costs because they never should have been loaded.
    So advise me do we need to stop to upload or any other way to stop two times cost values.
    Raju

    Freight cost is added on to the basic standard cost of materials, which is fine. Basic cost of materials comes from regular cost estimate and the freight from additive. Now when a purchase order is raised, the vendor needs to be given a purchase order only for the basic price and not the freight. The material could be brought by own transport or the vendor charging separately for freight.
    That being the assumption, the purchase order is loaded with a accrual type condition type for freight, which shall customized to create an accrual entry upon purchase. This could be meaningful to reduce/avoid the unwanted effect of distorted purchase price variance.

    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.

  • If I wanted to exchange my iPhone 5 for the new iPhone 6 (no additional cost after $199 gift card from selling iPhone 5) do I have to pre-order online or do I just have to show up at a Verizon store Sept 19th?

    If I wanted to exchange my iPhone 5 for the new iPhone 6 (no additional cost after $199 gift card from selling iPhone 5) can I pre-order online now or do I just have to show up at a Verizon store Sept 19th?

        scodaddy, that is a wonderful question. We are super excited about the new iPhone. You can always pre-order your new iPhone online and then start the mail in rebate by following this link: http://bit.ly/GGnDDC Or you can always go into the store location and do it all in store on the 19th when the phone is launched. That would depend on if the store has them in stock when you go in. I hope that this was able to address your concern.

  • Use of template using CPT1 for charging an additional cost to the product

    Hello,
    I'm trying to charge an additional cost burden to the cost of my product for every base unit produced. (cost estimate)
    I have created a template using transaction CPT1 with sender as Cost Center / Activity Type in environment 001
    The activity type is measured in EA (Eaches) while we make our product in boxes (Product base unit of measure is 'Boxes') with say 20 Eaches going into a Box
    I have maintained an activity price using transaction KP26 at say $0.55 per Each
    I have assigned this template to my costing sheet , valuation area and overhead key using transaction KTPF
    When I now cost the material for costing lot size of a 1000 boxes, it still charges the product with the activity price per Each ($0.55) instead of multiplying  $0.55*20*1000 = $11,000 for a 1000 boxes
    The formula I have chosen in the template against 'Plan quantity ' is in the attachment enclosed:
    I need help with doing the right thing within the template to make it give a cost burden of $11000 for every 1000 boxes costed (costing lot size)

    Didn't realize that you have to use transaction CPTD to charge template overhead to production orders. That's why it was not working. Now it is posting by reading the confirmed yield. But it is still not converting eaches to boxes using the conversion factor in the material master.
    The formula I'm currently using in the template for actual quantity is as under:
    OrderYieldConfirmed / AltQtyFactorFromMaterial( AlternativeQuantityUnit
    = 'BX', Material = OrderMaterialNumber )
    Please tell me what I need to do to the above formula to make it convert boxes to eaches using conversion factor in the material master?
    A similar formula has worked beautifully for 'cost estimate'
    OrderTotalQuantity / AltQtyFactorFromMaterial( AlternativeQuantityUnit =
    'BX', Material = OrderMaterialNumber )
