Adhoc cost estime link inactive?

Hi Friends,
I have enabled the a/c integration of cProjects 4.0 with ECC 6.0 (Both on separate servers)
I am able to u201Ccalculateu201D the cost in the accounting tab of cProjects. I am also able to search & assign WBS elements to respective project elements.
The Adhoc cost estimate link in accounting tab is visible but remains inactive, hence not able to transfer the cost estimate to ERP system
I have also tried using t-code CKECPCP. It did not help as the qty structure from cProjects does not get populated using the T-code.
Plz let me know if I have missed anything.
I have made the following settings in cProjects & ECC systems.:
1) Activated for accounting integration as of flagged for transfer in Proj Type.
2) Object link (0FIN_INT_ERP_PS) u2013 standard settings are unchanged. (Only destination & web service added)
3) Project type linked to 0FIN_INT_ERP_PS with frame 09. No costing flag is not ticked.
4) Cost rate is defined for the org unit associated with the project and validity dates are wide enough for task.
5) Cost rates replicated to erp system using valid RFC.
6) New project type has been replicated to r3 system.
7) Settings made in the r3 system:
i )Controlling scenario created. This has PS costing variant PS06. This will be used for ecp on the ps project after transfer has happened?
ii) Project type has been associated with u201Cmulti level controlling (structure element, manual)u201D and the controlling scenario above.
iii) Settings for ecp; has the controlling scenario above with costing variant PADH. The controlling area is the same as the controlling area on the org unit assigned to the project. This costing variant is used for pre calculation of plan costs i.e. before transfer.
iv) Cost element and activity type have been specified for the project org unit and without and org unit.
v) Assign cost elements and activity types: The activity type has been planned with a price in the current year on the same cost centre that is the master cost centre on the organisational unit attached to the project.
NB The rate does default into the task from the task type and there is work specified for the task.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Suresh,
maybe you find the following link also useful:
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_ppm400/helpdata/en/index.htm]
Navigation: Collaboration Projects -> Accounting Integration -> Preliminary Costing and Quotation Creation -> Ad Hoc Cost Estimate for cProjects or Sales Pricing for cProjects
From the page:
The cost planning function is executed by Easy Cost Planning (ECP). The cost estimate is always created at project level and is always single-level. The organizational data relevant to costing (controlling area, company code, and master cost center for the derivation of the activity type under which the allocation is reported) is derived from the HR organizational unit specified in the project definition. The costs are calculated based on the rates for the resource, project role, or task. For more information, see Costing Logic.
The revenues are calculated automatically if you have selected the option Use Cost/Revenue Rates from cProjects or Use Sales Pricing in SAP ERP as the revenue calculation type for the project type that you are using for the project. You make this selection in Customizing for Collaboration Projects, by choosing Connection to External Systems -> Accounting Integration -> Make General Settings. With the last option, the revenues are calculated with the dynamic item processor (DIP). For more information, see Sales Pricing for cProjects. Then you can also call up sales pricing from within the ad hoc cost estimate.
You can archive the ad hoc cost estimate in SAP ECC (archiving object CO_ECP) if the project has the status To Be Archived.
Technically, the ad hoc cost estimate is saved in SAP ECC with reference to the cProjects project number. When the project is transferred, it is recosted and the cost estimate stored for the account assignment object.
Hoping this helps...

Error while doing Std.cost estimation.

Hallo gurus,
I am facing one problem while doing Std.Cost estimation.
Let me explain in detailed..
I am doing costing estimation for a Product. This product contains both Bought out Material and Customer Supplied Products.But both are coming as Material class as Raw material.
But Overheads to be calculated differently for those means for Bought out product - 1.5% and for Customer supplied Products-5%.
So i have created one Overhead Key and the same is attached to Overhead
Group and this overhead group is attached to a respective material.
In Costing sheet for overhead i have selected Dependency D010 and maintained the same along with Overhead key..
But while executing CK11N, system is not calculating the same.
Pls through some light on this....
Advance Thanks..
Regds,
Janardhan.

Did you attached the costing sheet in costing variant?

Shipment Cost Estimation Report

Hi Experts,
There is an existing report which is very helpful regarding most transportation details. You can pull information at the delivery or item level of all types of shipments in one place. We use this to review what shipments we need to process to cost documents and transport POs.
Another report shows all of the information except information on what the actual cost calculations have been. A report is available which details the cost calculations but this report is not available until after the cost document has been created which is too late to assist in the shipment costing process. This T code is VI12 and it shows each cost type separated out based on the calculated rate.
Using T code VT02N from the shipment cost estimation button, this is the information we need to merge it in the existing report.
Please can anyone advise on this situation how to do this enhancement.
Do we need any other information from the client for this issue.
Thanks for your help.
With Regards,
Ruby.

Hello,
Would VI11 answer your question, there are also additional fields in the ALV catalogue that can be added to the layout?

Regarding Cost Estimation

Dear All,
While doing the Cost estimation for a Product i am getting the below mentioned error..
Cost estimate for material W275271299NEW / plant LEP1 is incorrect
Message no. CK168
Diagnosis
The system found errors in the cost estimate of material component W275271299NEW from plant LEP1.
System Response
The results of raw material cost estimates that have errors are not used in the product just costed. Only cost estimates that do not have errors or that were released are used in cost rollup.
All assemblies that contain material W275271299NEW from plant LEP1 in their structure are indicated as incorrect.
The message sets the costing status of the assembly to 'costed with errors'.
Procedure
Eliminate the error at the highest low-level code.
The Material W275271299NEW is Scrap material. That is generated at the time of Production. this material i have mentioned Negative in BOM.

Standard cost estimation after goods movement when material ledger is activ

Hi!
our client is activated material ledger, for some materials standard cost estimation is done till marking but not released.
goods movements have been posted for those materials.
Now system is not allowing to release the standar price for those material in the current period, as material ledger expects same price for entrie period.
what is the alternative way to update the standard price for those materials ( with out reversing the goods movements).
regs,
ramesh

Hi Ramesh,
When you are using Material Ledger, after goods movemnets for materials, no need to change the standard cost estimate as Actual costing run will take care to derive the PUP price.
If there is no standard cost estimation release for sold materials (e.g.FG), you will get an error message duirng the billing document release to accounting. To aviod this error, if you are using split valuation (valuation types) and mixing ratios (CK91N & CK94), try with the below steps:
Create a new valuation type for the same material
Crate CK11N & CK94,
Run CK11N
Run CK24.
Then release the billing document.
Let me know if you need more details.
Thanks & Regards,

Price for Cost Estimation - Info Records

Hi All,
We need a clarification on how system picks the price for COST ESTIMATION with following setting in Valuation Variant.
1.Valuation Price from USER EXIT
2.Price from Purchasing Info Records
3.M A P
4. Planned Price 1
Sub Stratergy.
1.Effective Price from Purchase Order
2. Net Quotation Price
3. Gross Quotation Price.
If we have 3 info records with the same validity date and different price in each for three vendor, what price will system pick for calculating the stand cost estimation.
We have activated Material Ledger and we in ECC 6.0.
Do suggest.
Regards,

Hi ajai,
I agree with your point,we have 3 info record for a material and 2 are valid as such. The price maintained in two info records are as 7.5 & 1.0 respectively(valid info records).
The last price in the purchase order (of the info those records) are 0.41(dated on 09.04.2010) & 0.2(dated on 19.04.2010) respectively, but when we execute the cost estimation the system picks the price of 7.5 not the least price of 0.2(as its the latest purchased price).
Do let us know why and of what logic the system picks the highest price.
Do revert.

Changing Cost Estimation ( ML activated)

Hi All,
We have ML activated and we have Price Control as "S" for all ROH, HALB & FERT Materials.
The intention was to have one Cost Estimation per year and difference to be posted to variance.
The Material Valuation Strategy is
1. Valuation Price from User Exit
2. Price from Info Record
3.MAP
4.Planned Price 1
Now our issue, in June 2011 we have executed cost estimation for some new materials(say one Material ABC - Cost estimation must be $12000 but it is updated as $19000 due to wrong price maintenance) with wrong price and made goods movement.
Now when we want to correct the cost estimation by executing a new cost estimation( i.e. we want to overwrite the $19000 by $12000 for the ABC material) by this month( July 2011), but the system is picking the same old cost estimation price (old cost estimation price as $ 19000).
Can you suggest, how we can overwrite the existing cost estimation.
Do suggest.
Regards,
Rex

Hi All
Costing valuation follows the priority you have define. If this is taking 19000 maybe this value is coming from the first option (user exit).
I suggest you to change the priority to take price from planned price 1. Go to OKKN and change the priority for Valuation variant.
...or you have to assure there is no prices from priority from 1 to 3.
Regards.

Difference in the Material variant BOM Qty during Standard Cost estimation

Hi SAP Experts,
We are trying to estimate the cost for the material variant, but the BOM exploded
during the cost estimation, the quantity differs slightly with the BOM exploded
during CU50.
What might be the reasons for difference.
Please give your valuable Inputs.
Thanks
Best Regards
Siva

Dear Mr.Kumar,
For any material in the material master , for Price
Control indicator in Accounting 1 View we can either
maintain S or V.
For In House Manufactured materials we maintain S
(Standard price) & for Sub contracted or bought out
items we maintain V(Moving Average price).
During cost roll up & release as far I know we cant
split like 70 & 30% and we can do the costing.
So either you have to use the moving average price for
both inhouse & bought out.
Because 1 material cant have both standard price &
Moving Average price.
Because bought out item's doesnot have standard price.
If your vendor is ready to give the material(Finished
product) using the same amount which you spend for
producing inhouse,then no issue,you can use
standard price.But Practically it doesn't occur.
I hope this will help to clear your doubt.
If useful reward points.

Table for Valuation Price from USER EXIT - Cost Estimation

Hi All,
Can you let us know from where the system picks the price for VALUATION PRICE from USER EXIT when we have following setting in valuation variant
1.Valuation Price from USER EXIT
2.Price from Purchasing Info Records
3. Planned Price 1
Sub Stratergy.
1.Effective Price from Purchase Order
2. Net Quotation Price
3. Gross Quotation Price.
Now when we execute CK11N for a material, the system displays a cost price as 316 Euro/ unit.
But Standard price is 290 euros, info record price is 294 euros & planned price 304 euros.
Our previous cost estimation ( period 1, current period is 5) was 316 euro/unit (which was not correct), so deleted the cost estimation with CKR1 and try to rerun the cost estimation to update the value (new price), but still the system is picking the old price.
Can you let us know from where does(transaction code & table) the system is picking the old values.
In CK11N Material valuation (Valuation tab) its showing as Valuation Price from USER EXIT.
We have activated Material Ledger with price control "s"and we in ECC 6.0.
Do suggest.

Hi,
Where & how can i find the exit.
Do suggest.

Standard Cost Estimation Functionality removal from S.O.

Hi Friends,
I would like to know, is in SAP system there is an option to remove funcionality of auto Stadard cost Estimation i.e. we don't like to make Standard cost Estimation at the time of Sales order creation.
Can you Please tell me about this feature.
Rgds, Krishan Raheja.

Hi,
I am talking about the Cost Estimation happens, as it shows the cost via menu path---> Extra --> Costing. Further, the system will make the accounting entries for consumptions/Receipt w.r.t. to cost calculated vai this estimation. VPRS condition is not having the same prices as calculated in Costing. Further, the stock will also remain with same prices as calculated in price.
Can you please suggest, if there is any option, so that we can omit this costing calculation and system make consumption/receipt entries with the values in material master.
Rgds / Krishan Raheja.
