Assembly Cost

I am working on a Trading client.There is no PP module includes here.
After Goods receipt, they do the assembling of spare parts and makes a final product. Now they want to add the Assembling cost to the final product Inventory. How can we add assembling cost on final product in SAP?
Waiting for the reply.
Points will be awarded.

Hello Neraj
You create your assembling unit as a vendor and make sure to give the vendor name correctly as to identify it. Then block that vendor for payment in the vendor master.
So in the case of subcontracting, the assembling charges will go to the vendor a/c given for the assembling unit vendor.
Hope it is clear till now.
Now the most important thing is that you have to transfer the entries in that particular vendor a/c to a P/L account at every period ending. This is a must as the assembling cost expense should come in the P/L statement. Make sure that you document the transfer to P/L properly and you make it a point somehow to go this action at every period end along with other period ending activities.
Hope this helps

Assembly cost rollup using Average costs

Hi
I'm working on 11.5.5 On Vision instance on Solaris.
I did an Assembly cost rollup of an assembly in an Average Costed Oraganisation ( M3 - Dallas Manufacturing ) . The resource costs , overhead costs are getting rolled up , but the Material and Material Overhead Elements costs are not getting rolled up . Can any one help me on this ?
I have defined an Average cost type of each of the components involved and the assembly , set the default as this cost type itself ( User defined - AvgRates). I have chosen 'Include in Rollup ' for all the components and the assembly. Chosen 'Based on roll' option for only the assembly - disabled it for the components.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Why you need to rollup the cost for average costing? You will get the cost of this while you do the job close..
You need to do the cost rollup for std cost to fix the cost for the assembly...

Macbook pro retina a1502 display assembly cost in india

My macbook pro retina a1502 screen broke. It has a small crack on the top right corner. I wanted to replace the screen only but as it is not available I want to buy the display assembly to replace the broken screen. But I don't know how much will it cost in india....please help

Don't worry, there is nothing wrong with your computer. I have the same issue, and it is a bug. Sometimes a restart solves it. Sometimes and if you use subtitles, you will see the first line being displayed but the second one not, etc.
I have reported that to Apple and there is hope for a fix.

Assembly cost rollup wrong for averag cost org

HI,
For two of the assembly items , when we complete wip jobs cost is coming as very less.
When i see the item cost for these 2 assembly items , it seems cost rollup is not correct.
Cost elements unit cost and material are showing up same value :X$
Remaining fileds material overhead,Resource, Outside processing and resource overhead are blank with no cost.
Include in rollup is already enabled and it is make item.
So Cost rollup is not done properly for these 2 assembly items , but need a way how can we correct them.
Please let me know the way to correct them.
Thanks

Hi,
1. are all the 4 lines for same job? -- Yes
please provide details of accounts on each of the 4 lines.
For first 2 lines -- I00195-050002001-0-0-WB02-0-0-0 -- Inv valuation
for 2nsd 2 lines -- I00195-052000000-0-0-WB02-0-0-0 -- WIP valuation
2. have you setup any overheads?
My guess is that the 4 lines corresponds to
16625.29 WIP Assy Completion 30 => Inv Valuation Debit
5689.43 WIP Assy Completion 30 => Inv Valuation Debit
-16625.29 WIP Assy Completion -30 => WIP Material Account Credit
-5689.43 WIP Assy Completion -30 => WIP Resource Account Credit
Can you confirm? --Yes
3. Go thru item cost history of finished good item and see if there is any change in cost on transaction date of WIP Completion Transaction.
Check the details of cost elements.
Distribution 4 lines are with date 02-FEB-2012 14:07:26
If I look at record history of item costs form for this item last update date is -- 10-MAY-2012 15:19:03 and cost elements also of same date (costs button in item costs window)
Here I can see costs as below
Cost element basis rate or amount unit cost
Material item 17.88 17.88
Material item 0 0
OSP item 0 0
OSP item 0 0
Please let me know if anything is required from my side to analyse the issue .
Thanks for your response

In make to order cycle semifinished costs are not appearing in itemisation

Hi
We are facing a problem in Make to order. When a production order is created with respect to a sales order, semifinished costs are not appearing in Itemisation or cost component structure of Production order.
In other cases like make to stock and planning with final assembly costs are appearing. we are checking costs at CO02 - goto menu- costs - itemization.
Please provide us solution for this problem.
Thanks and regards,
Deepa

Hi
Please check 'Cost component Structure' Attribute details data for the semifinished component.
In that chek for 'Rollup cost' and also check for 'Filter Criteria for cost component views on Itemization' properly.
Regards
Laxmiprasad
Apart from above pls check for semifinished product in material master in costing1 view for material origin check box, check it if not selected.

MFBF- Costing Issue

Dear Friends,
I have one issue reg. costing in MFBF.When do yield / scrap posting in MFBF , in post with correction screen we remove some of the components which are not consumed especially in case of scrap posting of assembly but system will consider assembly cost i.e. cost of header material as per std cost estimate only considering all components.Is there any way by which we can get the actual cost as per component consumption in MFBF?
Awaiting your valuable inputs in this matter.
Thanks & Regards,
Tejas

Dear Tejas,
This is not possible.
First let me clear one thing from your side,you are saying 10 components are required for making a
product.
Does it mean 10 quantity of a component or 10 different components?
IF its going to be 10 different component's means,then there is no meaning in taking the costing run.
This is because you are not certain about how the product is going to be produced,sometime it may
happen by consuming all the 10 components and sometime it may be consuming 8 out of the 10
different components.
now case1 I hope you are suing standard cost estimate for backflushing the datas,so the system
considers the std cost of the product while backflushing.
Still your query is not clear.
Please clarify my above doubts.
Regards

Unassinged resource is reflecting cost rollup

Hi ,
We have defined 3 operations in Routing .
Operation -10 has only one resource (example - Labor A )
Operation -20& 30 has no resource .
When we do cost roll up from Tools , Report is showing Labour A and Labor B .
Labor B has been end dated through Engineering Change order , but why it is reflecting in Bills of Material Indented Cost Report .
In Assembly cost also , system is showing two resources .
Thanks in Advance
Kiran

Francesco,
Under average costing the cost rollup is used to estimate costs into a non-average cost type, for comparison purposes only. It does not change or adjust the average cost itself. The average cost comes from your PO receipts (like for buy items), or from inter-org receipts (when transferring goods from one org to another) or from your WIP completion transactions from a work order (when you are building goods in WIP). Hope this helps,

Cost object controlling

can any one tell me what is valuated sales order, and non valuated sales order?
and when we use these two scenarios?
thank you,
shankar chitupolu

Valuated sales order, and Un-Valuated sales order, these two will occur in Sales order related production scenarios, and when we use "Product cost by Sales order" in cost object controlling.
We use Product cost by Sales order:
If we want to know profit margin for particular sales order,
to track special sales costs,
to know funds committed to the sales order,
to know performance of sales order in costing point of view and
to get affects of delay in delivery.
This allows us to use Results Analysis.
In Valuated sales order:
Quantity and Value flow is combined,
Assembly costs can be seen at multilevel make to order production,
Inventory determination is simple,
It is similar to MTS Production,
enables more CO scenarios and logical decoupling of Co-PC and PP.
In Un-Valuated Sales order:
Quantity flow is separate from Value flow,
Costs are not posted immediately to sales order,
No variance for assigned production orders,
not good for Multilevel production process.
I hope U Got it...

Issue with Phantom Material in PCE

Hi,
While creating the PCE for one of the finished materials, in the PCE, the phantom material is not getting selected.
There is no issue with the production version or BOM or Master recipe since in the process order after the BOM explosion the phantom material is being picked up.
The costing date of the PCE is also as per the production version validity date. In the BOM & master the phantom item is maintained for costing.
Let me know what else could be missing.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Abhijit

There is no problem with the costing run. If a material is marked as a phantom assembly (that is, it has a special procurement type with procurement type: In-house production and special procurement: Phantom assembly ), costing directly explodes the BOM and calculates the planned costs for all material components in the phantom assembly. These material components are displayed and updated in the cost estimate of the higher-level material, but not in the phantom assembly. The idea is, phantom assemblies are not needed to be costed as they are not valuated and neither stock is maintained for them. But their cost structure is exploded properly for the costing run.

Is there lead in the Mag Safe power adapter's cord/cable?

I was just wondering if there is lead in the Mag Safe power adapter's cord/cable specifically, and if there is any in apple's cords/cables in general. I couldn't find anywhere to email apple about it.

I don't have specific information, but the power adapter is certified for use in the EU, and the EU has very strict lead-free requirements. Chances are the printed circuit board inside the power adapter also is manufactured with lead-free solder. Bismuth can be substituted for lead, though the resulting amalgam will have a higher melting point, so is harder to work with and increases assembly costs a little bit. Despite economic incentive to use lead, responsible manufacturing can avoid it.
There are probably much more significant exposure risks in your environment than the cord on your MacBook charger. If your home is over 20 years old and has copper pipes, chances are they were sweated together with lead bearing solder. Also, old faucets often contain lead in their parts.
Even if the cord did contain lead, it isn't likely to ablate into your environment; avoid chewing on the cord, and don't allow children or pets to chew the cord either.

What is the best option for my process

Hi Gurus Can any one guide me which is the best available option for my business process.
in our client process We have a Final Product(say A). and two Vendors (say Vendor1 and vendor2)
This Final Product is made up of 3 other parts Lets say B,C and D.
So The client buys Product B and Product C from the Vendor1 and Product D from Vendor2
The vendor1 supplies the both the parts(A and B) to Vendor2.
The Vendor2 Takes the Parts B, C and Joins with Part D and deliver the final product A to the client.
There is no assembly cost for Vendor2- he charges for only part D.
Can anyone tell which is the best available option for my client.
Please help me ASAP
Thanks

Hi Amar,
There are many other factors that you need to take into consideration to define best approach for the process.
You have to know what type of control you want to have of the "production" of the product "A". Who is the owner of the components B and C while they are at vendor 2.
Who is the payer and how are you going to receive invoices of vendor 1 (you receive invoices for components according to the quantity of product A you receive in your company, or you receive invoices for all B and C received at vendor 2??)
Its no easy to give you a feedback without more information.

Fixed and Variable Overhead

We are using standard costing and with only one Overhead Resource - we would like create a Fixed and Variable Overhead Resource - we have tested adding 2 new resources - but when we run the Assembly Cost Update - for WIP it revalues the jobs as if they had no Overhead at all before - does any one have any help to offer on the correct way to make this change and revalue WIP correctly?
The change is correct for a part when you view the item cost and the Inventory onhand is revalued correctly.
Thanks
Pam

Pam,
Did you review the output of the WIP Standard Cost Adjustment report after the standard cost update to see how the wip inventory was updated? I would suggest that you get the following to verify if the cost update is not updating wip correctly:
-The WIP Standard Cost Adjustment report this is created when a standard cost update is performed
-The log file of the Standard cost update with the debug profile options MRP:Debug option set to yes and CST:Cost update Debug level set to Full
-The output of the Job.sql (see note 378348.1) for a job that the standard cost update is being performed against both before and after the standard cost update
-Screen shots of the resource set up and cost that is being changed
-Screen shots of the Item Cost of the frozen cost type and the cost type that the cost is being updated from.

Cracked iPhone screen...questions re replacement

Ok Ive had my Verizon iPhone since February...yesterday my worst iPhone fear came true...I dropped my iPhone about 4 ft onto cement in 30 degree weather... Over half the screen was really cracked...I have a 32gb so I think vzw charges a $199 deductible...so I found this shop that replaces cracked iPhone screens...he told me the labor itself would only be about $30-40 but then he looked the part price up in his book up to his iPhone 4 CDMA parts guide & mumbles something like "digitizer" & blah blah then tells me the part would cost $150...I asked him what if I brought him the part would he still did it & just charge for labor...he was very nice and said he would do that.
Then I went online & googled iPhone 4 replacement assemblys & saw them for as low as $25 the I saw some for $55ish but nowhere near $150...is there a legit reason why he would charge this price...is the what an apple OEM screen replacement assembly costs, & I was looking at all non-OEM products? What are the downsides, if any, to replacing the iPhone screen with a non-OEM..are some of the features absent, like the oleophobic coating?
So I guess my question is what does an "iPhone screen replacement" assembly include? Besides the screen itself & a "digitizer" (not sure what that is) and how do I know which ones are trash out there & which ones are good? Would you advise any non-OEM product at all?
Please give me any info you have on screen replacement packages, & possibly where I can purchase one that won't be garbage. Oh & also if it says it is meant for CDMA model...should I assume it is going to be the glossy version?
Thanks!

So if I'm clear here you have thus far paid $109.90 for insurance and after paying another $199, for a total of $308.90 Verizon will replace your iPhone? Or, as has already been noted you can pay $149 at an Apple Store and get a replacement with a 90 day warranty.
I have no idea why in the **** you are paying for that insurance. I would talk to a Verizon rep about it before doing anything.
when you put it that way, yeah verizon is totally screwing everyone who has iphone insurance with them

PDF applications

I can't get my head around where else to ask this so forgive me.
I use excel spreadsheets to assemble costs related to the work I do (construction). On larger jobs I need to present to my customer the data that supports the bill I send. Typically, I will set print area >print > save to pdf from 4 separate sheets. Each resulting pdf document will have 2 to 5 pages. When I email these to the customer I have four attachments -one each for labor, material, subs and misc. Actually there's a fifth sheet which is my invoice that 'pulls' the totals from the other four, tallys and shows a grand total - so there are 5 attachments.
This all seems to cumbersome - as in there must be a simpler way, one involving a pdf application that will let me assemble the '4 files' into one.
I guess the question is two fold .... what would be the pdf application of choice for Mac users and for those of you who can get your head around what it is I am doing, do you see a simpler more elegant way of doing it?
Thank you

In 10.4 I used a freeware application called PDFLab. It still works for combining PDFs, although some of the other features do not work so well. If you add it by selecting Edit Menu in the PDF button, it will show up in that menu and you can print directly to it. Then when you are done, you just save. There are other utilities that will do that as well.
