Hi Leo,
Can you elaborate your issue, like when did you get the error exactly?
If it is the error you got while creating Product Cost Collector, then this is not the right Forum to post.
Please post your question in the 'ERP Manufacturing (PP)' forum

Automatic settlement for work orders.....Plant Maintenance....

Hello everyone,
In plant maintenance, does anyone know how to setup automatic settlement rule assignment for work orders? We know how to do it for internal orders already but the concept doesn't work for work orders. We are on release 4.6C
Thanks,
Chris

hi
while maintaining the settlement profile you can define the default oject categors as CTR and in the equipment master you have to specify the cost center, and if you create maintenance order then settlement rule will be automatically created
if you want some specific cost center as default irrespectiv of equipment then you have to use the customer exit

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.

Profit center in Product cost collector

Hi,
We need to change the profit center in the product cost collector after the actual postings were made. SAP does not allow to change the profit center. So any other work around solution for this issue? Can somebody help me with this?
Thanks & Regards,
Raghava

Hi Bhuvaneswari,
We are having a situation,
The issue is to change the profit center for the product collector after the actual postings were made. Now the big problem is there is no PA transfer structure defined to execute the settlement for these product cost collectors and then change the profit center. Can you give some work around solution for this? And also what about the postings made previously.
To give more insight,
In the order type, Settlement profile is maintained
In the Settlement profile, Allocation structure is maintained
How do you link the settlement profile / allocation structure to the PA transfer structure?
I can not settle the order (Product cost collector) as there is no PA transfer structure
Thanks & Regards,
Raghava

Question in Product Cost Collectors

Hi All,
I have one question in Product Cost Collectors.
We are using REM and we have multiple products with same BOM routing. Is it possible to assign several materials to to one Product Cost Collector inorder to reduce number of cost collectors.
For example, for routing we can create a Group and assign serveral materials to a group.
Thanks and Regards
Purushothaman

Hi Purushottam,
In REM, it is required to create it for every material.
Even if material has more than one production version, need to create separate Product Cost Collector.
Some more explanation on Product Cost Collector -
u2022 Object in cost accounting used in Repetitive Manufacturing.
u2022 A separate product cost collector can be created for each production version or material. The collected costs are settled to inventory at the end of the period.
u2022 The functions performed for product cost collector during the period end closing process include :
u2022     Work in process (WIP) caculation
u2022     Variance calculation
u2022     Settlement
u2022 In Repetitive Manufacturing, all costs attributed to the production of a material are collected on a product cost collector and settled periodically (period-based Controlling).
u2022 The product cost collector is settled periodically according to the posting period (for example monthly) .
u2022 For a material , product cost collector is made for each version
u2022 The actual cost collected can be viewed through product cost collector.
Hope it is clear now.

Abolish product cost collector for production order

Dear Experts,
we use for some production order types the product cost collector. Now we plan to abolish them and change the settlement for production order. Which things do we have to pay attention? Do we have to finish our running production orders first or is it possible to change customizing during running production process. Thanks for your hepl!
Best regards
Steffen

Hi Ajay,
thank you for your answer.
We have tested two variants:
1. new order type, so we can process two separate settlements, for orders with PCC and the new orders without PCC. After archiving of all prodorders with pcc, archiving of pcc it should be possible to switch back to old order type.
2. change customizing without finishing existing orders, settlement for existing orders, all orders which already have been processed will be settled by pcc (status pcc usage in order header) We have not be seen any strange system behavior.
We use the pcc collector for different order types in different plants and want to abolish plant by plant. In this time the pcc will still be customized/exists.
Best regards
Steffen

CO88 - Collective Settlement Processing for Product cost collectors

Hello Gurus,
I have couple of Settlement related problems. Please advice if you have any solution to fix these problems.
1.We are using CO88 - Collective Settlement Processing for Product cost collectors but some of the cost collectors are not settling fully. Where as the same cost collector settled individually without any problem.
2. Some cost collectors are settled but very small amounts are still there as un-settled.
Thanks in advance.
Vishwanath.

Hi
Welcome to SDN! We hope your 1st experience here is good
Issue 1: It depends on the error that you got at the time of settlement... Many times, when a PCC is being posted to from Production while you are trying to settle, it can give you error...
later on it can be settled w/o any issues
Issue 2: Ideally there does not remain any amount after settlement.. May be the amount which you are seeing pertains to the next month.. You can shift to periodic view using CtrlShiftF11 and see if any balance really exists
BR,Ajay M

Product cost collector for sales order related production

Hi Friends,
This is Azam and here i am new to this discussion forum.
we are in situation that use diffrent variant for configurable material in sales order related production,
I would like to have some information about use product cost collector for this kind of sales order related production,
also I want to know difference between prelimanary cost estimate or cost estimate for sales order?
Please co-operate me.
I would be highly appriciated if you can respond at the earliest.
Thanks
Azam

Hi,
Here, for each sales order item, you will have sales order cost estimate. This enables the system to compute the variances once the actual costs are booked against the production.
In the case of preliminery cost, we get the preliminery cost for production order as a plan cost and is not being used for the computation of variance but only for comparision purpose which is very marginally used.
Trust this helps much and do encourage our efforts!
Cheers!

Settlement Parameters on Product Cost Collectors

The basic config on Product Cost Collectors has settlement to a material.
1) Does someone know how to change the settlement rules to settle to a GL account or Order for new materials
2) For old materials, does someone know how to change the settlement rules. SAP - I believe in HELP and in note 388457 says you cannot change the setlement rules.
Thanks

Thank you for responding.
Unfortunately, even if you create a new profile and allocation structure, you cannot change it on the order.
I later found in SAP HELP that the settlement profile on cost collectors cannot be change. That was also verified by oss 388457.
But, I was hoping I was wrong or there has been a further change

Product Cost Collectors not settled to GL's during Period end Close

Hi,
We are using the repetative manufacturing process. We have an issue with our repetative manufacturing orders, during the monthly period end close.The product cost collectors WIP is not been settled to GL's.
The normal production orders are been settled to the GL's and both use the same settlement profile.
Can anyone suggest where could be the problem?
Thanks,
Srini

Hi,
In the SAP standard (as per the transaction codes indicated by you) it is not possible to include multiple plants. Either you have to execute for one Plant or for all plants. Probably, in Test run you can execute for all Plants and check the results, and then decide.
Thanks
Murali.

How to maintain One product cost collector for multiple materials and configuration setting

Hi experts,
my requirement is that i want to maintain one product cost collector for multiple materials ans also i want to know the configuration setting for the same.
I have used KKF6N but it is not working in my case. I went through KKF6M also but there i found multiple cost collectors.
please guide me in the same.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Shripad,
you cannot assign same Product cost collector to different material.
Because you creating cost collector for material combination of material /production version,material /Bom Routing.
so please create individual cost collector for every material.
if you have any query kindly revert back.
Please mark the answer as helpful if it is helpful to you.

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,
