Assigning overheads to Cost collector using cost center assessments

Dear All,
I want to assign admin and selling overheads to product cost collectors for different products using cost center assessment.
I am creating the cycle for assessment and in the receiver objects i am not able to get product cost collectors. In the order field, i am able to see only the internal orders but not the product cost collectors(or the PCC number).
Could anyone please tell me how to assign product cost collector in the receiver objects in the assessment cycle.My senders are cost centers(admin and sales).
Thank you very much in advance.
Regards,
Vishnu

Please... somebody answer my query.

Thank you for replying.
If you go to order field and select the order type RM01. Here we can see the order numbers for product cost collectors. We can assign this cost collector number in the distribution cycle as receiver. after we post, when we go to the cost collector in kkf6n, we can see the amount posted through distribution in the costs of the cost collector.
My question is why the same functionality is not possible using assessment.

Hi Paul
What is your purpose?
1. If you just want to fetch the material cost estimate (std cost) in COPA, then what you are doing is not correct...For this,
a. KE4U - Valuation Strategy 001 - (DETAILS Tab) assign 001 to Qty Field ABSMG and tick "Mat Cstng" indicator
b. KE4U - (Assignment Tab) Assign 001 to PV=01 and Record Type = F
c. Create a Costing key in KE40
d. Assign Costing key to mat types in KE4J or KEPC
e. Assign Cost Comp Split to Value Field in KE4R
2. Costing sheet in COPA is used for doing some calculations during billing and updating the same to COPA... For eg: you want to add 2% of your Std cost as Freight to COPA (Statistical value)... This can be done using Costing sheet...
In order to use Costing sheet in COPA,
a. Create a Costing sheet - (You already did this)
b. KE4U - Val Strategy 001 - (DETAILS Tab) Against Valuation Strategy 001 - Assign this costing sheet against "Application = KE" and Qty Field = ABSMG.. Do not check "Mat Cstng" against this indicator..
So, if you want to use Costing sheet in COPA, your KE4U may have 2 entries under the "DETAILS" tab..
(1) As per 1.a and 1.b above
(2) As per 2.b above

Cost collectors in cost hierarchy

Hi all,
Does everyone know how to be sure all cost collectors are assigned to a cost object hierarchy?
Is there any transaction that display cost collectors that are not assigned to any cost objet?
Thanks in advance,
Ronan

Hello Ronan,
I have created a query to solve this issue. Table AFPO can give you your cost collectors and by linking this table to table CKPE as a "left outer join" you will have a query that shows your cost collectors and which ones are or are not attached to the COH.
Hope this helps,
Nick

Rem product cost collector

Hai gurus,
I have one doubt in REM product cost calculation.
1) when I am running PCC for REM I met with following error as - Routing does not match with selection
ID 01.
How to correct the error.
Regards,
sekar chand.

Dear Sekar,
1.While creating product cost collector,use Production version as the controlling level.
2.Check RM01 is the order type and ensure your production version is without any errors.
3.Ensure you have selected rate routing in the task list type in the production version.
4.Check what routing selection id is assigned in MRP parameters in OPPQ and also in the scheduling
parameters in OPU5 for the order type PE.
5,Your routing selection id should be a one which gives the first priority to the rate routing R.
Now check and come back with your further queries.

Essence of product cost collectors

In REM
what is essence of product cost collector (KKF6n), {As I understand production cost collectors
are cost carrying elements}, but needs to have more insights like how it captures
production costs ( i.e through activities, price maintained in accounting view....)
Does it make any difference if product cost collector is executed before MRP run, or it has
to be executed only after MRP run

Dear Eshwer,
1.Product Cost collector is one of the master data in REM scenario.
2.This product cost collector is no where related to MRP.
3.Product Cost collector is used as a cost object in REM scenario,which means all the cost will be
booked under this product cost collector for that material.
4.Whatever the confirmations that are done in MFBF or MF41 or MF42N,the cost will get debited or
credited accordingly for that material and the impact will be seen in the product cost collector.
5.This product cost collector will be having an order number which will be used for order settlement and
variance calculation.
6.For creating a product cost collector you will require a production version.
7.so whenever you do an assembly or activity or component backflush,the cost will be booked under
this product cost collector.
8.So as such there's no relation between MRP and a product cost collector.
I hope this pints will help you to some extent.
Revert back with your further queries.

Duplicate cost collectors

has anyone ever run into this before? one plant / one material / one production version = two cost collectors? and, can you actually delete one cost collector, and not just flag it for deletion.
we are having trouble back flushing because there are two cost collectors associated to one material.
thanks.

Hi,
Good evening and greetings,
When you create a product cost collector using KKF6N, you create for a defined production version and keep extending the new production version and the product cost collector is created with the same code as that of the material code. If that is the rule, how are your able to create two product cost collectors with same code?
Also please let me know in the MRP2 screen whether have you defined the production version for that material?
One more thing is the flag for deleted material will go out of the system when you archive the same.
Please let me understand your problem in detail?
Thanking you
With kindest regards

Costing Variant & Prod Cost Collector

I am in the scenario of period costing with a product collector. Please guide me on the following:
While configuring for costing/valuation variant, I find that we create a costing / valuation variant under 'Material cost estimate with Qty structure' and also under Cost object controlling - Product Cost Collector, 'Check costing variant for Product Cost Collector' & 'Check valuation variant for Product Cost collector'.
Do need to configure a costing variant and valuation variant under these paths, viz. under Standard Cost estimate with Qty Structure & also Product Cost collector ?
Please give your comments ASAP

Target costs for product cost collector

hi,
can anyone tell me when are the target costs updated for product cost collector. it is after we post actual costs or after we calculate variance.
Thanks

Hi Elaine,
Thankyou very much for the Information. In our case when we create new product cost collector and cost it and post actual costs to it, system is showing target costs on the product cost collector even before variance calculation but for product cost collectors which are existing from long time system is not showing target costs after we post actual costs. we have created new cost component structure recently and its active from april 1. does this have any impact on the target costs. Please let me know if you have any idea on this.
Thanks,

Combination of cost elements and cost centers

Hi guys,
what if I mentioned only cost centers as sender values in a segement of assessment cycle? do you think that is must to have cost element and cost center combination in sender values? how it will be differnt I dont mention any cost elements along with cost center in segements as sendors? please clarify me with the example.

Hi
Cost Centers are the cost collectors and cost elements are the cost carriers.
When you add cost elements and cost centers as senders you define that the cost that are available in the cost centers are carried to other cost objects via the cost elements.
Hope it helps
Good Luck

Assign cost center to cost collector

Dear all,
My client wants to see material cosumption report cost center wise. We have maintained Repetetive manufacturing process. MFBF is tcode we use to post GI and GR with back flush .
Where do we assign cost center to the cost collecter and how do we get the material consumption report.
Can any one help me please....
B.S.Rao

Dear Rao,
Generally the bulk material's that are directly available at the work center are issued to the cost center using 201 movement
through T Code MB1A.
In REM scenario all the Goods issue happens at the time of backflushing through T Code MFBF,and a product cost collector will
be used as a cost collecting object for the same.
In my understanding there is no possibility of assinging or linking a PCC and a cost center.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Add Profit center to cost collector

Hello SAP Guru
Is it possible to add a profit center to a cost collector which is already is in use.If yes then how ?
Thanks in advance.

I am geeting below warning message .Please suggest me what to do :
You need to change the profit center -> See long text
Message no. KO 372
Diagnosis
You want to change the profit center, although you already made
postings on product cost collector 700270 for the previous profit center.
Procedure
If you wish to change the profit center, you need to settle the
last period, and no more postings should be made after this.
Notes
Order values may already be updated on the assigned profit
center During reassignment, the system only updates the new order values on the
currently assigned profit center.

Can we create the Purchase order that using P&L account or just using account do not use cost center.

Dear Experts,
Could you please advise :
1) Can we create the purchase order that using profit and loss account ? ( if yes , which kind of account assignment category we should use ?)
2) How to create a purchase order for service charge .( just using GL account )
Thanks & Best Regards,
Watson

Hi,
   May I know why you do not use cost center for consumption?
   You may create a new account assignment category in OME9 by copying K and maintain the cost center as optional. Please note that you have to maintain the item category blank and the account assignment category combination in OMG0. Now, you can use a GL account in PO which doesnt require a cost center assignment (in OBC4 against the field status group of the GL)
   You may use the same account assignment category created in the previous step with item category D, after you maintain the combination of the account assignment with item category D in OMG0.
    Please test the scenario and revert back.

Can we do poduct costing with out using cost sheet and overhead rates

Hi,
can we do product costing with out using cost sheets and overhead rates.
In that cast , how the cost estimation happens ?

Hi,
a costing sheet is used to calculate (on a base) overhead values. If you dont need / want to use this functionality just create/use a costing variant where not costing sheet is assigned.
Use this costing variant in CK11N or KKPAN, depending if ou have a quantity structure or not.
