Allocation of overhead cost to finished goods through vendors and raw mat.

We are trying to allocate a cost base in our purchasing department of around 200 mio dkk to our finished products. These products we manufacture ourselves. The cost represents salaries and external services
The outcome of an ABC study has been to allocate these costs, first on vendor level based on the total spent on each vendor and subsequently to the raw materials from each vendor based on value. The cost of purchasing should then be included in cost estimate of the raw material and hence in the cost of the finished goods through the bill of materials.
Our challenge now is to implement this algorithm into our product costing system in SAP.
The easy solution from the point of view of the SAP department is to have cost controllers doing the math of calculating the cost per material number in Excel and then allocate this rate through a costing sheet or a template.
But this solution on the other hand leaves the users with an extra manual task which again leaves room for error and it reduces transparency.
So has anyone tried implementing such a calculation scheme in product costing?

Hi
As far as I know, SAP does not support this... What you can do is
1. Calculate this price outside the system and include this overhead in the Plan Price of raw material (Costing 2 View).. So, this gets included in raw mat price itself
or
2. if you want to see it as an overhead, you need to arrive at an overhead% which you may calculate as Amount of these Expenses / Total raw material cost and apply this % across
Study the historic data of past 3-4 years to see if the % remains more or less stable

How to get unit cost for finished goods in prod order

HI all,
IN a production order of type PP04, there is cost analysis you can get from CO03. This shows the cost for finished goods and BOM components. Would anyone know how the cost for finished goods are calculated ? The issue i have is that the unit cost of the finished goods is not correct. It is higher than what it should be. I looked at the moving avg price at material master but the cost used in calculation is different than in material master. Can anyone shed light how finished goods are calculated and why it is picking up a higher unit cost ? Where is the higher cost coming from for finished goods material as shown in CO03 ? The BOM materials are picking unit cost correctly. Would this have anything to do with cost settlement ?
thank you.
joyce

Hi,
Finished goods price will depend on BOM componenet price, activity price and overhead price. Check whether this prices are picking correctly or not.

Overhead key for Finished goods

Hi all,
Guide on the following.....Depending upon the Costing Overhead Grp the Overhead will be applied , in our case Overhead % applied depending upon the Raw material consumption . So we have incorporated Over head key in all Semifinished material .
Now , in all assembly all HALB material have Over head Key , but whether we should have Overhead Key to Finished material also?
Do revert
Regards

Hi,
It depends how you are arriving at the cost of Finished goods. If all the consumption, activity and overheads are
taken into account upto the top most level of the component, there there is no necessity of assigning a seperate
overhead key. If the company requires packaging charges of the finished goods in batches, bar coding activities are to be added after the production, you can use an overhead key on FG.

Actual Cost of finished goods in MIGO

Hi,
The value of Finished material in FI Document generated in MIGO takes the (Goods Receipt Quantity) X (Planned/Moving average Price from material master), Where as it should take the Total Actual Price calculated after Order Confirmation Based on Actual Material Purchase Price & Actual Activity Posting Value.
For example:
Present scenario
Material-> MIGO QTY>Moving Avg Price -->MIGO FI Document Value
Finished> 1000 EA> Rs. 10/ EA--
>Rs. 10,000=00
Required Scenario:
MIGO FI Document value= (Purchase Value of Raw Material)+ ((Activity Posted while Confirmation)X(Activity price))
Thanks.

Hi,
What u said is right Mr Kapil.. See when u do GR From Production Order System Calculate Moving Price or Planned Price from
material Matser .
As per ur Reuirement u told it should calculate (Raw Material Price + activity+OVHD).
it is possible only when order quantity is less , suppose say your order qty is 150 mt per day and your Plant capacity is 500mt
per day production will be done in a half day, sale can be done on same day after Production with the formula what u told.
If suppose say , Your order is 2000 ton of Oil , it will take u to complete 4 days for your Total production as you told, GR should
be done on (Raw Material Price + activity+OVHD) formula, you dont know exact activity price for 2000 ton until u finish your total
production, at the same time until u do GR sales cannot be done. So in SAP Gr is intially done on Moving Average Or Planned
(Standard Price) , After totla Prodcution GR is Compared with Actual Cost(Raw Material Price + activity+OVHD)= :"Variance".
Plus are MInus is Reduced or added to Finished Goods Account or PP account during Settlement.
If any wrong Pls Correct me Experts,
Pavan

Costing Report summarized production cost by Finished Goods Material

Dear Expert,
I am looking for a report that can summarized the production cost in production order by Finished Goods Material Number.
or a report that can show me the cost components incurred related to a Finished Goods Material.
Can any expert enlighten me? please help.
Thanks a lot.

Hi
I would recommend the product drilldown reports in KKO0...
For this you will have to do settings in OKN0 (Asisgn a Cost Comp Structure and specify the Product Group)
After this, execute KKRV to collect the summarized data and then you can use KKO0 reports
It gives cost of production as per the Cost Comp Str and also the product no, product group, Prod Order etc

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,

Payment of Expenses through Vendors and SAP Payroll possible?

Hi,
A possible client is thinking of implementing SAP travel and Expenses.
Depending on certain expense types they want to pay expenses through sap payroll; other expenses they want to be able to pay out via vendors.
Is this possible?
I know it's possible to have 3 ways of paying: Vendors, Payroll or DME; but I'm not sure if combination would be possible?
Does anyone has any experience with this?
Thanks

Yes it is possible
Say as said by you Depending on Expenses types that means the Expeses first should be categoriesed i mean which will come under pay roll and which will come under Vendor baseing on that we implement it
Try to check out the Fesability
the Sub Schema CREI has to be included in the Pay roll schema if you want to get the Travel expensed to be processes in the Pay roll
Kindly Check

Overhead Cost Allocation - with IFRS

Hi Gurus,
We have configured Leading Ledger for reporting in IFRS and a non-leading ledger for local (India) Reporting.
As this implementation is being done by our Overseas parent company - we are using template allocation for Overhead cost allocation.
However, we want to allocate expenses based on actual consumptions rather than on Process Output quantity. ie. for example - electricity charges we want to distribute based on actual no of units consumed by each department/machine/process.
Kindly advise, If there a possibility for having both methods in the system (automatic) or manul process for achieving this.
Thanks
Sree.

Hi Expert,
There is no such feature to Allocate Overhead Cost with Ledgers.
No need to Allocate Costs or Overhead Costs with respect to Leading Ledger - IFRS.
By default, the Costs or Overhead Costs are allocated to Leading Ledgers.

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

Finished Goods at Moving average Price.

Hi Experts,
In my company FG maintained at Moving average price, during the Go-live they fed the value manually in material master of FG.
Now at the time of production conformation system considering BOM for consumption, but for cost of production system just taking the value fed in FG material master.
Please explain what is the impact if i maintain my FG at moving average, whether we can change that to standard price.
Please explain me briefly.
Regards
Sreenivas.P

Hi,
Ideally Raw Material, packing material should be maintained on Mvg Avg Price for your CO-PC (product Costing). Finished Goods / Semifinished goods should be maintained on Standard price only.
Actually once you maintain the same on Std price, So after your costing run the system will pick Std. price of that FG / SFG based following :
1. price of RM / PM from material components defined in BOM
2.Activity prices defined in KP26
3. Based on routing / master recipe, system will calculate activity defined for your resource / work center
4. Overheads from costing sheet
So, in Std. price of your FG / SFG, system will give all these details. While you go for your process Order / Production order, system will book actual cost of FG / SFG on production order. So, at month end when you run variance cycle, system will also give you variance between plan and actual.
Hope it will help a lot.

Material backflush in production order after finished goods GR

Dear all,
I once started similiar topic several months ago, but didn't recieved any response. I'm gonna give it another try, so maybe you'll be able to support me after all.
So, the situation is like this. We have a production order, in which MC team maintained the materials to consume. The problem is, that very often it comes that we have to use same material part, but under 2-3 different partnumbers. E.G.:
Production order target: 1000 finished goods
Required materials: Part A 1000 pcs, Part B1 700 pcs, Part B2 300 pcs, Part C 1000 pcs, Part D1 150 pcs, Part D2 450 pcs, Part D3 400 pcs.
So yes, in case when it is Part B1, B2 and etc. it means that we're using physically the same part, but under different partnumbers. The problem is, that those material are all coming in pieces, not in meters or anything, and we can't allow to have, for example, 0.7 pcs of any of those materials (cause obviously you can't have 0.7 pcs of LCD panels stored in the warehouse).
It wouldn't be a problem if we could just confirm all operations in production order in 1 batch, but production order is being confirmed partially, every time the pallet with finished goods is being released from production line (we have integrated system, that sends requests to SAP to confirm specific quantity of finished goods in production order). So, as an example, if 1 pallet contains 15 pcs of finished goods, you have 67 confirmations for production order [(66*15)+(1*10)]. And, since all those materials come in PCS, SAP is rounding up consumption if it has decimal, which leads to wrong materials consumption.
Initially, I had an idea of adding 1 more operation in production order, which was supposed to be a manual use only, after finished goods GR, and MC team supposed to assign those B1\B2 and etc. material to this operation E.G.:
Operation 0010 - consume material from work center A
Operation 0020 - consume material from work center B
Operation 0030 - finished goods GR (milestone)
Operation 0040 - consume material from work center C
My idead was rejected, since I was told that after GR for finished goods is done and you continue consuming materials in production order - it will not be shown in financial reporting (don't know the details, it was quite a straight reject, without much explanation).
So, question is - is there a way to consume materials after finished goods GR without creating mess in financial reporting, or if not - what other options do I have?
thank you in advance

Hi Valentin,
After GR also you can do goods issue. Till the order status is CLSD (Closed) you can book cost on to the order.
Two ways to consume materials on order.
In order component overview maintain the required part number with quantity. GI as can done with reference to order MB1A 261 movement type.
Directly do GI with MB1A -261 movement type - Input the order number, material number and qty.
Refer to the below discussion on unplanned GI which was discussed yesterday,

How to handle finished goods without PP module

Hi
I am a MM consultant and i have been placed in an implementation project where there is no PP module. But client wants to dispatch Finished goods without BOM and PP module but it needs to be captured through MM module.
Request your help and how to resolve this kind of scenario?
Expecting a favourable reply at the earliest.
Thanks & Regards
DVP

Hi Dusthakar,
Its not uncommon to have such a requirement to handle finished products in MM without using Production Planning module. You will maintain FG material#s as well as Raw Material#s. Create BOM for those FG materials. Create a vendor for your company on its own name. Create a Subcontracting Purchase Order for FG on to this vendor. It brings in BOM to PO,..,you may verify at material data tab of item. You can receive it to your plant. You may mark Free or charge on item. This will make it nothing to be paid to this vendor. FG comes to your plant. How do you like this approach We have been doing this for the past couple of years!
Reward points only if you are thrilled with this solution!

How to allocate cost variances during goods issue in sales process?

Hi all,
In China GAAP, cost variances ( variance between standard cost and actual cost) should be capitalized to balance sheet at month-end.
Q1: Could I settle the cost variance to a B/S account instead of P/L account? What's SAP or your recommendation?
Q2: if we settle the cost variances to a B/S account, How could we allocate the production cost when post goods issue for sales order? i.e
Dr: COGS
Cr: cost of finished goods
Cr: production cost (B/S account, cost variances by proration of sold)
Please advice.Thanks in advance
Regards,
Alex LIU

Hi,
All variances between Standard & Actual cost should be settled to a P/L A/c as these are similar to Purchase Price variances on Raw Material purchases.
If you are valuing your Finished Goods @ Standard cost, then the difference between the Standard & the Actual cost should be debited or credited to a Price or Cost difference P/L A/c either at the time of doing the GR of the Production or at the time of posting the Goods Issue for Sales Order.
The balance in the Cost difference accounts needs to be finally posted to profitability segments in COPA.

Raw mat and procured finish product cost

we need to run cost run for both raw material and product, we want have the following scenario:
first mark the raw mat. cost run, then our finished product will get the future price of raw mat and base on BOM to update the future price of finished product.
after we mark finished product, we then release raw mat standard price and subsequently release finished product.
is any solution we can define costing variant for above scenario?
we have another scenario, we need to run costing run for finished good A, but this product A 's BOM contain only one procured finished product B, B doesn't have BOM and purchase info record, how can we change product B 's price, so finally finished product A 's standard price will be updated upon costing run?

Hi ,
In Costing Variant .. we have a Tab for valuation variant . In the valuation variant type , we have seperate valuations for raw Materials , activities, subcontracting etc .
Cost Estimate with Quanity Structure will refer to the Costing Variant and compute costs .. Hence , maintain Costing Variant and Valuation Variant properly..
This will solve both your issues..
Kindly revert back for any further questions..

Valuation for the Finished Good

I have finished good material with Price Control u201CSu201D with a price of Rs 100.
To make this finished good I need 5 raw materials and all the 5 material masters are having the price control u201CVu201D.
Price of these 5 raw materials is fluctuating and the total cost of the finished good varies accordingly.
Now If I valuate this finished good then the system is valuating this on the price which I have maintained in the FG master (under price control-S i.e Rs 100). But due to the fluctuation of the raw material price, now the FG price is Rs 120 (after adding all the Production charges etc)
I want to valuate the FG stock at Rs 120 not at the Rs 100.Valuation level is maintained at Plant level.
Because of this, huge difference is coming into the stock valuation.

Hi,
I suppose you are trying to change the Standard price in the MMR. It will not work,
Use MR21, enter the material and valuation type and the new price and save. If there is stock, necessary adjustment entry will be passed and the inventory gets valuated with the new Standard price.
Now check the MMR, it will have been updated with the new Standard price
