Admin Costs to be allocated on the basis of Qty of Goods Produced

Dear Experts,
Adminstration Costs to be allocated on the basis of Qty of Goods produced.
Is there a solution where these (Admin) costs can be added to the Cost of Goods sold, but should not include in the Cost of Goods Manufactured.
Advance thanks
Sanjai

Hi
Refer this thread where I explained an alternative...
Re: Actual Overhead rates on Production Orders
In OKTZ, create a separate cost component for Admin Cost and mark it as Not Relevant for Inventory Valuation.... Classify it as Admin Overhead i.e. part of COGS in in OKTZ

Allocation on the basis of Quantity Produce

Dear All,
I want to do distribution through assessement of Over/Underabsorption of cost center on the basis of Quantity produce in that plant to COPA Value Field.. is that possible
Example
Cost Center A-1001 is having the Over/Underabsorption of 100000Rs
Now client ask that i want to distribute this cost to my product produce in that plant on the basis of Quantity produce in that plant.
I can get the sale quantity and weigh of the sale quantity in value field in COPA but how can i get the quantity produce in that plant.
Kindly suggest

How to include some costs in standart price on the base of material costs?

Hi,
the current client want to include some costs in standart price for the material on the base of raw material costs (according to bill of material). "Some costs" are costs for whole plant or workshop: electricity, gas, salary of some wokers an so on. These costs can not be ascribe to concrete finished products, but must be included in cost of goods manufactured. I assume to use cost center to collect these costs. Direct costs for raw material collects on cost collectors.
Now the problem by standard cost estimate:
1.The balance this cost center must be zero (it follows flegal requirements). Therefore I can not use overhead rates. Or I don`t know something?
2. I can create activity type, calculate its price on the base of planned costs of this cost center and use it in operation in routing for finished product. But in routing I can not use the costs of raw material to determine how many units of activity type must be confirmed. I can make only rule like: 1 Unit finished product - 1 Unit of activity type.
So, no chance?
P.S.
In fact there is no problem - I can use distribution of cost objects hierarchy
Best regards,
Yury

Cost component not splitting at the time of Rune the tine of Cost Estimate

http//
Hi,
We are in developing phase for Product costing for coal mine project ,
we have raise coal material with Non component BOM , and Routing is only one activity with 400- Raised Coal Qty-MT ,
We upload the plan with Production cost center -activity type and cost element ( as per cost component -we have 10 cost component as per below )
RM - Blasting
Production Overhead
Power - Main
Stores,Spare,Consum
Repairs & Maint
Lease & Hire Char-PM
Power - Auxiliary
Depreciation
Over Burden
Development
we done the plan for Amount and Qty by KP06,KP26 and update plan price but system not calculate the cost component splitting in cost estimate as per planning while only one item showing for all cost to Production Overhead cost component
Production Overhead cost component which assign the secondary cost element which is assign to activity type 400
can any one help me to how we can resolve this issue
Please find attached document

Hi,
Here I am providing the necessity and importance of splitting structure, will share the configuration steps once you go through the following and get the comfort level.
                  Expense Analysis and Splitting in Manufacturing Cost Centers
Introduction In SAP Cost center work as a cost responsibility center, where all the expenses and cost are stored and analyzed for the purpose of management decision making.
The cost could be fixed or variable in nature. The difference between variable and fixed costs can be made in various ways in product costing in CO module.
Fixed costs represent the static costs incurred by the organization, which doesn’t change on the basis on manufacturing activities, which remain constant irrespective of production activities like rent for the premises, salaries of office staff etc.
On the other hand, variable cost varies based on the level of production activities; if production activities increase then variable cost also increased like electricity consumes raw material charges etc.
However all the variable cost doesn’t vary in direct proportion by quantity of goods produced.
In this document will try to define; how the Expenses analysis and splitting of cost done in manufacturing cost centers.
From controlling prospective, fixed cost remain constant regardless of operating activities, but if these factor changes, variable cost will fluctuate.
Basically raw material costs represent variable cost, but in this document main focused will be given to distinguish fixed and variable activity cost.
The segregation between fixed and variable cost is optional and is derived from the configuration and master data configured in cost center accounting and overhead accounting.
Activity Price:
There are different methods that could be used in cost center accounting to determine the activity price. The simple way is the manually enter “Fixed” and “Variable” Activity cost (KP26).
However there are other methods used in Cost center Planning and Budgeting that automatically calculate the fixed and variable activity price.
Here the focused will be given on Planning and Budgeting activity and automatic calculation of plan activity rate in cost center.
This method aggregate planned costs by cost element and capacity by plan unit to calculate the activity price.
Activity independent costs are segregated among different activities based on Splitting Structure, while activity dependent cost directly used for the purpose of variable activity rate calculation.
Fixed Activity Cost:
In product costing all those cost, which doesn’t vary based on the activities in manufacturing cost will represent fixed cost.
In a manufacturing cost centers there may be two or more activities performed.
To calculate the activities rate, the fixed costs are distributed to various activities on the basis of Splitting Structure defined for cost center.
Variable Activity Cost:
Variable activity cost, which directly depend upon the activity type and fluctuate based on increase or decrease in manufacturing activities. In SAP variable activity cost are directly linked to the respective activity.
Activity Prices: Fixed and Variable Split
In Cost Center Accounting dividing the cost between Fixed and Variable requires appropriate split to be made in the cost entered for the activity. The process is described below:
i. Variable cost would be planned at activity level and expenses should be maintained at cost element in the manufacturing cost center by assigning activity and cost element combination.
In other word, the expenses should be planned on Activity type at the time of primary cost planning (KP06).
Then the variable activity rates are calculated on Total cost planned at Activity divided by Total number of activity planned at that cost center (i.e. capacity in KP26)
ii. Fixed cost would be planned at independent of activity type. These costs are maintained in KP06 at cost element level on manufacturing cost center.
Then the fixed costs are distributed on various activity types on the basis of Splitting structure defined at OKEW.
In Splitting Structure we define the rules, how the fixed cost will be distributed to Activities. For the purpose of this document, considering split of fixed cost on the basis of Capacity maintained in KP26.

Selling & Distribution Overheads Allocation on basis of Qty sold

Dear Experts,
Client wants to allocate selling and distribution overheads based on the quantity of the goods sold.
Which is best way to absorb these costs
Eg - Company Code A -
Cost Center MktA incurred $1000, this cost center deals in FG Product A Sales
Cost Center MktB incurred $1200, this cost center deals in FG Product B Sales
Cost Center Mktc incurred $1500, this cost center deals in FG Product C &D ales
Product A sold 1000 kgs, Product B sold 1200 kgs, Product C sold 500 kgs, Product D sold 1000 kgs
For arriving Cost of Sales - we need to allocate Marketing and sales ovehreads on the basis of volume of goods sold.
Regards,
Sanjai

Hi Sanjay
As Ajay said maybe KEU5 could be enough to distribute the expense from cost center to the products.
But usually you distribute the expenses for product+customer key. In this case KE28 could help.
In KE28 you distribute the values from Actual Data, in your case the Record Type will be = D (Overhead costs, assessment).
The reference data would be F (Billing doc) , the reference base will the key factor you want to distribute.
Then you go to Processing Instruction and set Customer+Product in DLvL column.
In Selection Criteria you fill company code, plants and any other fields to restrict the processing data.
In Value Fields you flag the value fields that will receive the distribution.
Well I hope I have helped. I had some problems to run KE28 but now is fine.
You can reverse in KE29N.
Regards.

Cost on the basis of order quantity

Can the cost be decided on the basis of order quantity ? For example when 100 pieces are taken the cost is 10 each but when 1 peice is purchased the cost is 50 each,
Similarly this should reflect when we sell the item in customer service.

hi,
the scales would do that job for you. You do not need to explicitly mention a formulae at VK11 when maintaining condition records. And remember cost at sales order level has a different meaning. We use the term Cost to talk about VPRS condition. Normally the costs and prices at sales order level can be transferred to COPA for profitability analysis. We map these pricing conditions to COPA value fields for management reporting purpose.

G/L account population on the basis of Cost center in PO

Hello All
Just have a query regarding defaulting the G/L account in account assigned PO.
is it possible while creating a account assigned PO(suppose K) that system will take the G/L account value automatically as soon as we enter the cost center.
in simple words controlling the G/L account on the basis of cost center.
regards
Yogesh

Dear Yogesh,
You will have to implement a proper BAdi/Enhancement to achieve this. You would need to write the logic such that G/L Account if fetched based on Cost Center at runtime.
I am not sure if it can applied here but you can try with search help as well. In few screens if you select one field data other fields data would also get populated with the search help.
Hope this will help.

Wrong cost allocated for the Moving Average item

Dear Experts,
Please see this inventory audit report.. Wrong cost allocated for the Moving Average item
[screenshot here|http://www.flickr.com/photos/45736280@N07/4347146537/sizes/o/]
Please help advice why.
Warmest Regards,
Chinho

Oh yes, István is totally correct. I realized I had gotten my definition of Moving Average calculation wrong.
The actual moving average cost price is actually calculated in the background after each purchase. The cost price shown on the screen for each purchase is simply the cost price in the purchase document.
At the point of each purchase, the Moving Average price is updated as:
Actual moving average price = (Last total cumulative value + current purchase trans value) / (Last Cumulative Qty + current purchase qty)
Hope it helps and Thanks guys for the advice!

Chinho

KO88 - Error when settling for Cost Center AND Auc for the same Internal Or

Hi Experts,
We need to configure Investment Internal Orders that could settle to both Cost Center and Auc, but each assignments with different Source Cost Elements
We did the following:
1. Created Auc Class
2. Created Investment Profile "IMOBIL" and assigned to Auc Class, flagging Auc
3. Created Allocation Structure "CV" with two assignments:
01, Source = Cost elements 7000000000 to 7999999999, receiver AUC "by cost element"
02 Source = Cost elements 4000000000 to 4999999999, receiver CTR "by cost element"
4. Created Model Order, filling the Investment Profile IMOBIL created in step 2.
5 Created Settlement Profile ZCV0001, assigning Allocation Strucutre CV, allowing CTR and AUC for receivers, default receiver is "FXA", doc type "AA".
6 Created ORder Type CV01, assigning Settlement Profile ZCV0001.
When I post only for Asset Expenses (Source Cost element 7, Assigment 01), the settlement through KO88 correctly settles to AUC, and also creates the settlement rule for cost center (i'm using the strategy to create from Responsible Cost Center).
But when I post for Asset Expenses (cost elements 7, receiver AUC) AND General Expenses (Source Cost element 4, receiver CTR), KO88 generates an error KD506, saying that for Assigment 02 - AUC I didnt define a settlement cost element.
1. Assignment 02 is not AUC, is CTR;
2. I flagged "by cost element", so I don't need a settlement cost element. And also, I was able to post to AUC when the source posting was only for cost element 7.
Did you face any problem like this?
I cannot find out what is the missing configuration, or if it is a program error...
Kind Regards
Mayumi Blak

Hi Ajay
I already created Source Structure and assigned to my Setllement profile (so I assigned Allocation Structure AND Source Structure).
I don't understand when you say that I need to assign the Source Sutrcture in each rule....because the Source structure is in the Settlement Parameters valid for both rules...
When I post to Asset Expenses only for the internal Order, the 2 rules (CTR and AUC) are created when I run KO88 (but only AUC rule is settled). This is OK.
The problem is when I post for both General Expenses AND Asset Expenses, the system is not recognizing that I have 2 source structures, neither is findind that for CTR AND AUC the Settlement cost elements are the original cost elements.
I'm thinking about changing message KD506 to warning, do you know if this can help?
Kind Regards

How to remove overlap of cost element in allocation structure?

hi experts,
on KSES the source has double entry of cost element. those cost elements were defined under cost element group. when i checked on the Source screen the entries under the cost element group there is no double entry but when checked on Extras > Overview List i can see two entries of the cost element. how can i remove on the double entry of cost element on the source of the allocation structure?
thanks!

Hi,
Go to KAH2 . enter cost element group.
Select the cost element to be deleted , then select arrow (upwars left , 3rd button from top left) , right click and then remove.

Output calculation (on the basis of running hour and quantity)

Dear Guru,
scenario:
we have 6 work center and activity type cost will be calculated on basis of output quantity.
ex : work center 1:activity cost: Rs 100
output :100 nos(quantity)
total cost : 100*100= 10,000
like this we are calculating the cost of every workecnter
required sceario :we want to calculate 4 workcenter cost on basis of output quantity and two on the basis of running hour
please help me where we do the changes .
thanks in advance for your suggestion

Not sure if I understood your query, but based on what little I understand you would need to use a formula which has only duration as parameter & not operation quantity.
Eg: Refer to standard value key - SAP4, which has SAPC00 as a parameter.
Using this you can multiply the cost with the hours irrespective of the operation output.
Do a test in your sandbox & if it meets your need adopt in PRD.

Cost Centre Derivation Issue at the time of PGI

Dear Experts,
At the time of Posting Post Goods Issue, SD Consultant is facing error that GL Account 6* requires assignment to a CO Object.
According to my understanding, system should derive Cost Centre at the time of P.G.I through following logic :
I have assigned Profit Centre : 999999 to the Cost Centre : ABCD and the said profit centre is being used at the time of Sales Order Posting. While doing PGI, system should derive cost centre data from Profit Centre Data which is used in Sales Order but currently system is not behaving like this.
Another way is to assign respective cost centres against COGS Gls through T-Code : OKB9 which is not right I think. Because how can we map Cost Centre Data with Profit Centre Data in order to get Profit Centre Wise Profitability Reports?
Please guide me any solution.
Regards,
Sapna

Hi Sapna,
For most cases, your COGS account should not be a cost element.
Secondly, if you want to make it a cost element, you will have to maintain OKB9 for it, either on the basis of profit center or plant.
System cannot pick cost center based on the cost center master data because there may be many cose centers assigned under the same profit center. There is no one-to-one mapping of cost center to profit center.
I would suggest you do not make COGS as cost element unless the sale order is an MTO sales order or business insists on it.
If business insists on it, then add the cost element to OKB9.

IMac doesn't detect the base station correctly (with new base station)

I have a brand new Airport Express. I'm trying to connect to my iMac G5. Everything works fine in the start up with getting the green light on the Express base station. But, my iMac doesn't "connect" with the base station.
I try the "Airport Setup Assistant" and get a window that says "No new Airport networks were found."
I look at the "pie" at the top of the iMac screen. It has the white and black stripes on it. I click it and find "Apple Network e3fec9" and select it. The signal level shown has all blue buttons. That window also reports "Status: Connected to 'Apple Network e3fec9'" and "Base Station ID:00:19:E3:E3:FE:C9". That's what makes me think that my problem must be in the iMac and not the base station.
I had also tried my Dell laptop (from work) and found that it found the internet network. It detected the "local host" and "Apple Network" and the signal strength was very good (~90% or so). The only problem was that the laptop thought it needed to recreate an IP address before it could connect to the internet. I didn't do that, since I saw it was detecting the network.
Please help. Why should this be so hard?
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.9) none

I'm confused. You say you're connected to "Apple Network e3fec9", and you're having trouble connecting your iMac? It sounds like you've managed to connect to your Airport Base Station.
Have you configured the Internet settings for the base station? Try this:
1. Launch Airport Admin Utility (in /Applications/Utilities/) select "Apple Network e3fec9" and click Configure.
2. Under the Airport tab, give the base station a name, click the Base Station Options… button, and make sure Enable Ethernet Port is checked.
3. Select Create a Wireless Network (Home Router) if it isn't already selected, give your network a name, and check Create a closed network
4.Click the Wireless Security button and set it to WPA Personal, and enter a password.
5. Under the Internet tab, set Connect Using: to Ethernet, and in the Configure dropdown, select Using DHCP
6. Click the Access Control tab and click the plus button on the right side of the window. In the panel that pops up, click the This Computer button.
7. Click Update
I'm hoping it's something simple, like Enable Ethernet Port wasn't checked or something, and not something more serious.
Hope it helps.

Where can I find the file where the static mapping allocations of the DHCP server are stored?

In our company we are using DHCP to assign static ip addresses to our clients.
Now we are forced to change the ip address range. To prevent changing each allocation
of mac-address to ip-address manually with the admin tool i would like to change the allocation
in the file where the allocations are saved. The reason ist that i just have to use copy & paste for all
the allocations.
So how is the file named and where can I find the file where
the static mapping allocations of the DHCP server are stored? Is it just an ASCII file?
Must i note anything when i change the file manually?

From man bootpd:
BOOTP/DHCP STATIC BINDINGS
     Static IP address to ethernet address bindings are stored in the /etc/bootptab file and in Open Directory. Bindings specified in the /etc/bootptab file take precedence over those in Open Directory.
     See bootptab(5) for more information about the /etc/bootptab file.
     For Open Directory, bootpd looks at the /Computers records for the following properties:
/etc/bootptab is a standard text file, while the records in Open Directory can be manipulated either through the command line, or via Workgroup Manager.
