Hi,
Followings are the steps for configure the mixed costing in sap
A. Create a Procurement Altternative in CK91N for each of the 4 prod version... Choose process category = Production in CK91N
B. 1 Now, create a mix cost ratio for each of these 4 proc alternative in CK94....
B.2 To maintain a mix ratio in CK94, you need to maintain Qty Structure Type.. Follow the below steps
create a Qty Structure Type in IMG - Controlling > Product Cost Controlling > Product Cost Planning > Selected Functions in Material Costing > Mixed Costing
> Define Quantity Structure Types - Define Qty Str Type here and assign it in the next step
> Define Costing Versions - Assign Qty Str Type to your costing version 1 and Costing Type
C. Now run CK11N.. Your std cost will be a weighted average of all the 4 prod versions... And target cost in production order will be based on the prod version used in prod order

Product Cost Planning

We are embarking on production planning & I need to know best course for financials/product costing. Would the AC505 Product Cost Planning Course be suitable for a business who is about to embark on production planning . We are in manufacturing, and we will be using lots of components (BOMs) and process orders etc.

Hello Higgins:
There are 3 product costing courses:
AC505 - focus on product cost planning. for example, from BOM, routing to estimated / simulated cost.
AC520 - focus on ACTUAL cost scenario ,for example , make-to-stock , make -to order, sales, service, periodic
AC530 - focus on special module Material Ledger , for industries to get the actual cost (more precise)
so I understand that you start on Planning, so AC505 is the right course.
But I recommend to attend AC520 as well to understand the actual cost flow . so you can compare plan and actual together.
and if you like the most accurate cost , and implement ML (material ledger) - AC530 is another one.
Hope this help.

Product cost planning & cost object controlling

Hi All
We are using KMAT material type for configurable materials.
Product cost planning:
My question is , Can we save cost estimate for the Kmat materials?
( I am assuming I dont have to run CK40N for these materails , As I am not going to have accounting tab for Kmat materails. and I do not know which materails and operations to use in super Bom and Super routing)
Please let me know If the above statement is true.
Cost object controlling:
Can i use cost obect controlling by production order or PCC?
*I am assuming I will be ale to use only cost object controlling by sales order....But I have nt worked on this previously...If I have to use cost object controlling by sales order , can you guys give me a link or steps that helps me in configuring Cost object controlling by sales order*

ADDDITIVE COST FOR PRODUCT COST BY SALES ORDER SCENARIO.

Dear friends,
We are using costing for sales order & we have maintained the costing variant under the path IMG> Controlling> Product Cost Controlling> cost object controlling> Product cost by sales order >premliminary costing & order based costing>product costing for sales order costing>Costing variant for Product costing >Check costing variant for product costing.
Under this we have maintained the Costing variant, Now we need to have Additive cost. But didnt found the tab in the costing variant where as when we check in T.code OKKN which is a part of Product cost planning we can find the Additive cost tab.
How to run addtive costing run for Product cost by sales order scenario & please guide me with one example.
Or else is there any configuration where we can assign standard costing variant PPC1 instead of Costing variant SOC1 ( which is a costing variant of Product cost by sales order.
Please guide me
regards,
Sandeep

Hi Sandeep,
You may please try using Unit Costing for Sale Order.
It is over an above the sale order costing you have done. So in case you want to post any additional known cost, you may do the unit costing for the sale order after the sale order costing.
Trust this helps

Missing iviews for Personnel Cost Planning and Simulation

Hi, We are implementing "Personnel Cost Planning and Simulation" in R/3 version 5(mySAP ERP). At present we have the following Business packs in our Enterprise Portal Server. 60.1.5 and 60.1.1(mySAP ERP 2004). We uploaded both the BP's in our test environment to make sure we get all the iveiws that we need.
SAP presentation has all the iviews, But we are unable to locate/identify under MSS the iviews for "Web Based Detail Planning for Line Managers", "Detail Planning: Detail Costs per Cost Object" and so forth for Personnel Cost Planning and Simulation component.
We researched other BP's such as 50.4.5 and 50.3.9 but in vain.
We truly appreciate if some can guide us to get these iviews.

Finally I got the answer and thought I can share this with you all.....
For Personnel Cost Planning and Simulation, SAP has not delivered mss iViews, but SAP has realized the detail planning pages for the line manager and the personnel cost planner by using the Business Server Page (BSP) "hrhcp_planning".
You can find the description of it's usage in the online documentation under the following path:
Human Resources>Personnel Management>Personnel Cost Planning and Simulation-->Personnel Cost Planning and Simulation Flow -->Creating Personnel Cost Plans
--> Providing Detail Planning for Line Managers
--> Detail Planning by Line Managers
--> Detail Planning by the Personnel Cost Planner
If you wish to use the detail planning page in an mss environment, you can integrate the BSP as an external service into the manager's portal. Otherwise, you can also use it, by providing the URL to the managers.

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

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,

Fields to be activated from Material Master for product costing.

hi guys.
our MM person is creating BDC for uploading master data.
we have to do product costing in second phase.
what fileds we have to activate now, from accouting & costing view???
is it necessory to activate LIFO/FIFO relevancy indicator for product costing??
will it affect to inventory valuation directly???
can we actiavte the fileds afterwords???

Dear Mr.Taj,
Where's the quantity structure field in Accounting 2 view?
Do u mean which's in Costing 1 view?
Dear MR.Patil,before doing cost roll up & release all the fields should be having proper values (inputs).
Later on also u can activate.I mean during material creation itself if u ensure these checks,this will help you in taking the cost rollup smoothly.
Or else you have to correct those errors at the time of costing.
If useful reward points.

SETTING DELETION FLAG FOR PRODUCT COST COLECTOR:

Hi Gurus, could you please help me with this question:
We need to turn off the repetitive mfg
indicator active for a group of materials. this in order to replace product collectors to production
orders.
When I tryed to set the deletion flag for product cost colectors, SAP
Shows this message :
"THERE ARE STILL UNSETTLED VARIANCES FOR ORD 710040".
Cheking Note "421710 - Check report whether "Deletion flag" status can
be set" I found the program COPC_COSTOBJ_REORGCHECK , this program
shows that I have Unsettled variances since 2004...
The order have a settlement rule PER, So I can't settle 2004
variances.. checking the note 421710, I Found that other way is to turn
off the field indicator "variance to costing-base PA" in OK07.
Must I turn off the field "variance to costing-base PA" temporaly, in order to close de cost colectors ?
there are another program or report that I can use in order to settle the old variances?

Indirect hours for product costing

Hi,
Currently indirect hours are captured manually out of system, how to handle these hours in SAP for product costing?
Indirect hours are lost hrs in production (breakage, shutdown)
Appreciate your inputs
Govind

Hi,
You can capture indirect hours through activity type by giving price indicator 1 and activity type category 1 in KL01(Manual entry, manual allocation).

Product Costing - Planning & Actuals

Hi All
I'm new to Product Costing. I dnt have much of functional knowledge aswell. I want to how the Planning Values & the actuals values are calculated in SAP thru PC. May be if you can explain me with an example, it wld be of grt help to me. I want PC for Make to Stock scenario. Expecting your reply.
Regards
Rajaram

Dear,
I will explain with an example.
Main product is A, Raw materials are B,C & D. Let us assume that relationship between FERT & ROH   is 1:1 ,
So for manufacturing 100 EA of A we need 100 EA of B,C & D.
Next let us assume that there is one operation involved in the shopfloor. The machine rate per hour (200 Rs) & the Labor rate per hour (300 Rs) . Let us say for manufacturing 100 EA it involves 2 hours of M/C & Labor.
The overhead costs of the company is 50 % of the operation cost (this percentage is maintained in the costing sheet against the secondary cost elements of the activity types).
Say there is a sub-contracting process involved which costs around 100 Rs per 100 EA of A.
Given the above conditions ,when you do the cost estimate the system will arrive at the cost of the product as follows.
Product A
Material Cost
Component                  Qty               Per unit Cost               Total Cost
      B                           100                      2                              200
      C                           100                      1                              100
      D                           100                       2.5                           250
Operation Cost
Activity                      Hours           Per hour Rate              Total Cost
   Machine                     2                        200                           400
   Labor                          2                        300                           600
Overhead
Overhead is 50 % of total operation cost       = 1000 * 0.5      =    500
External Processing Costs
Sub-contracting                                                                 =    100
Total Cost of Goods Manufactured                                       = 2150
Price of 1 A is 21.5 Rs.
Hope this explains you the four main segments invovlved in the product costing clearly.
Thanks & Regards,
