Average cost source

Hi all,
I want to change the cost of an Item to a fixed cost while in organization default costing method is Average.
Can any one tell me the tables affected when the average costing is done.
Looking for your positive response..

Hi all,
There is only one way I have found that to update the average cost every time the the costing process updates to new cost. I have used a trigger in MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS table after update of NEW_COST when the INVENTORY_ITEM_ID=1111 and TRANSACTION_TYPE_ID=44 and submitted a job that inserts a row for average cost update with costed flag=N. After the costing process is done, next time when I issue this item to discrete manufacturing job it takes that updated cost.
Thanks and Regards
Sandy

Average cost update

Hi,
Average cost is used for valuing inventories. There is an average cost update program that is run every 3 minutes. At times there have been significant changes to the cost (100 times or more) for the material and we are unable to find the source or logic for such changes and how the same has been calculated.
Is there any document on how the program works and is there an audit trail of entries passed by the average cost update to understand the source and logic of such entries.
Thanks in advance

Srikant,
Sorry for the late response. Iam running the cost interface using Cost Import Interface. while running the interface the "cost type to import to " parameter has only one value in the LOV which is "Pending" (Pending Standard Cost Type). Since its passing Std cost as default parameter and iam trying to run the average cost its failing. The following is the code i have written..
INSERT INTO CST_ITEM_CST_DTLS_INTERFACE
(INVENTORY_ITEM_ID
,ORGANIZATION_ID
,COST_TYPE_ID
,RESOURCE_CODE
,USAGE_RATE_OR_AMOUNT
,COST_ELEMENT_ID
,PROCESS_FLAG
,last_update_date
, last_updated_by
, creation_date
, created_by )
VALUES
(v_inventory_item_id,
,85,
2,
'Material',
nvl(item_rec.item_cost,0)
,1
,1
, sysdate
, 1
, sysdate
, 1);
Please let me know where iam going wrong. Is there any additional setup i need to do.
Thanks and Regards

CSTPACHK package extension: Auto Account Generation in Average Costing

Dear All,
I would like to use the client extension, for the account generation while doing a material transaction.
The costing type of ours is Average.
Currently, when a material transaction is been made from one subinventory to another.
it is showing the source subinventory DFF account for both debit and credit lines in the Material transaction - distributions,
which ideally we need to have the source (Credit) and target (Debit) subinventories material accounts in the DFF of Subinventories
Does anyone have a working example of the CSTPACHK package extension for Auto Account Generation in Average Costing
if any Please update...?
Many thanks in advance...

Hi,
Can you please advise the steps you did for CSTPACHK extension, we have the requirement (Average costing) where we need to get the different material account id (one segment of the GL account should be overwritten)for the Transaction based on the item for the cost manager to cost the transaction.
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks

How to change average cost of an item?

We have a scenario where the average cost of the goods has gone completely off of what we think it should be for a few items. Many reasons. But question is how do we change average cost assigned to these items without adding to the inventory?

Hi,
You can change the average cost of an item by performing an average cost update.
The inventory quantity remains unaffected, but depending on whether you are increasing or decreasing the unit cost, the inventory value will get affected to that extent.
Inventory > Costs > Average Cost Update - query the concerned item and update the cost as required.
Thanks,
DS

Price Variance Report - Average Costing

Hi Friends,
We have our costing method as average costed. The Client wants to have a report wherin the PO's item price, item's list price (this will be fixed for a period) and the variance should come. The PO price of items varies dynamically (it may vary for same item from one PO to oter).
We have average costing, where PPV is zero. How to go about it,,do we have any report!!! Or I need to opt for a report development with Item, Iitem's list price, PO's unit price of item, variance, etc. as columns...seeking your valuable support/inputs. Thanks.
With Best Regards,
Nirabh Nayan

Hi Nirabh,
we dont have PPV column in PO seeded reports, we should develop the report as per our requirement.
check this link for more info.

Average cost of an Article(SKU)

In IS-Retail where can i see the moving average cost of an article. Is there any report or inquiry to view the same or is there a table which stores the value for each location.

Hi,
In Article Master MM42/43 in Logistics DC & in Logistics Stores Screen down underneath you will find Accounting Button.
If you click this you will get Moving average Price field.
MBEW is the table name for Material Valuation and VERPR is the field name for Moving Average Price.
Hope this helps you.

Inventory Average Costing Question

Hi,
I'm convering onhand quantity from legacy inventory system to Oracle Inventory and we use Average Costing.. Here are the steps.
1. Converting the items via item import.
2. Convering onhand quantity with Misc receipts using transactions interface
3. updating the Average cost of these items via transactions interface .
When i convert the onhand quantity there is no cost for these items and all the mtl_trasnaction_accounts transactions were created with 0$.. With the average cost update, mtl_trasnaction_accounts transactions were created with $ amount..
What is the best sequence for reconcilation point iof view with the inventory and GL???
Please suggest..
Thanks,
Shree

Hi, in my experience the steps you indicates are correct. Anyway, you can avoid step 3 if you put the unit cost directly in the transaction open interface. This is correct only if your costs are not divided in more than one element (eg. you have only the material cost element). If you do in this way, you will see your miscellaneous transactions will have costs and related records on MTL_TRANSACTION_ACCOUNTS will be created with a positive amount.
As you will know, also when you perform a miscellaneous transactions by using the form, you have the possibility to inidcate the unit cost. Normally you do this if your actual average cost is not correct for your transaction, or if the average cost is 0.
If you follow this indications, you should not have problem at the moment of the reconciliation with GL.

Moving Average Costing

My clients business buys used equipment on the secondary market that they refurbish & sell. The prices fluctuate pretty dramatically based upon supply and demand; so it really isn't possible to set a standard cost that would be valid throughout the year. Using standard costs results in huge fluctuations in the inventory purchase price variances month over month and quarter of quarter. Therefore, we explored using moving average costing.
Could someone help me get the moving average to update using PM04, Does SAP actually recommend against using moving average costing?

Charlie,
Thanks for your response. If I understand you right, you are suggesting doing STD pricing every month or quarter instead of attempting MAP? Is that right?

Average Costing & Periods

2 periods are open; sep-08 and oct-08, i am adjusting the average cost in the month of sep-08 and it takes effect and shows the adjusted cost. But when i run the report, it displays the previous cost.

Refer Oracle Cost Management User guide.
It's explaining everything in very good manner.

Average Costing - sub inventory rollup

Hi,
I am writing some reports that use average costing.
The reports need to report average cost @ subinventory level, but also @ inventory level.
Does Oracle maintain average cost information @ all levels of the hierarchy or do i need to recalculate @ run time for the the master inventory?
Thanks.

More clarification on this - you can find this on metalink -
The five Valuation accounts and the default Expense account are
defined at the organization level. The valuation accounts apply to
each subinventory and intransit within the organization. They
cannot be changed at the subinventory level under layer costing.
The expense account defaults to each subinventory within the
organization and can be overridden.
You can choose a different valuation account for each cost element, or use the same account for several or all elements.
How you set up your accounts determines the level of elemental
detail in the General Ledger and on Inventory valuation reports.
The system maintains the average unit cost at the organization level; it
does not use any subinventory valuation accounts. If you had separate
valuation accounts by subinventory, total inventories would balance,
but account balances by subinventory would not match the inventory
valuation reports.

Average Costing To FIFO

Dear All,
I am currently working in a implementation project. My client is working on Average Costing Inventory Org but they want report to be in FIFO basis
Report Should show : Item Name, Item Desc, Sub Inventory, UOM, Opening Stock of that period with price, Receipts for that Period with price, Issue for that period with price and Closing Balance on FIFO Basis
Please suggest me how to go about this on the same. Please someone share the code if someone have any. What logic do i need to follow and where to pick the data.
It is show stopper for us now as we do not have any standard report.
Thanks,
Anupam

Your driving table will be mtl_material_transactions.
Join it with mtl_system_items_b and cst_cost_details to get additional data.
Hope this helps

Rollup Issue On Average Costing Method

Hi,
I want to understand correctly the meaning of the rollup on 'Average' costing method.
As I understand it, the rollup is meaningful on 'standard' costing method, when I change the costs for some/all items, and I wanted to update the cost of the items parents appropriately.
But in the 'average' costing, if I change the cost for some child item, the cost of the parent will changed by the average by the time.
When I use the rollup on 'Average' costing method ?
Thanks.

hi,
u cannot perform rollup on average costing method.

Movement types and effects on moving average cost

Hi all,
can anybody explain me what is moviment type n° 309 (transaction mb1b).
Before of this movement I had in the storage a stock of 15.000 KG and a moving average cost of 6,70 u20AC.
Then I did a movement 309 in MB1B for 4.050 kg.
After that I did a movement 261 (probably with transaction qa11) for 11850,300.
After these movements my moving average cost decreased to 1,29.
what kind of movement are 309 and 261?
Can they change my moving average cost?
thank you
C.

Hello Vallex,
Mvt type 309 is materia to material/batch to batch/valuation type to valuation type transfer. If you have different different price for both material then definately it will change your moving average price.
However, 261 is issue to production order and that will not change your moving average price. it will take material price from material master into the accouting document.
Hope this helps.

Arif Mansuri
