Calculated field in model of easy cost planning

Hi,
I would like to introduce the cost model easy planing a calculated field (characteristic), which was the multiplication of two fields (Characteristics).
I have entered into the transaction CKCM "Easy Cost Planning: Model", I created 3 Characteristics (A,B,C)through the option
"Assign Characteristics to the model."
I entered the "Define the derivation rules (template)" and created a calculation with the two characteristics( C = A * B). The problem I have is that I did not enter the calculation in characteristic 3, which is what I want to pick up the value.
Many Thanks.
Regards.

Hi Vivek,
Thanks for answering.
My question is, how I can assign a calculation in a characteristic?
Characteristic A
Characteristic B
Characteristic C = A * B
I want the easy cost planning screen, enter a value in the characteristic A and B, it will automatically calculate the C and view the calculation in the screen in characteristic C. As I can do?
Thank you very much.

Easy Cost Planning in a currency other than Cont Area and comp code curren

Hi,
I want to do the easy cost planning in a currency which is other than controlling area and company code currency.
But I am getting the option of only these two currencies only.
Any idea how to do it?
Example:
Controlling Area currency :INR
Company Code Currency : AED
Planning Currency to be used for Easy Cost Planning :USD
Regards,
B P Singh

Hello,
You may try to go to transaction CT04 - Characteristics. There in tab BASIC DATA you choose Data Type - Currency Format. In field Currency enter the required currency. Save the characteristic.
Next step is to go to CKCM - Models for Easy Cost Planning. Open the Costing model and add line with the created characteristic.
Good luck, Aleksandra

Easy Cost Planning (SAP) in Tender Process

Hi All,
I am using SAP ECC 6.0 EHP 4. I wanted to know if Easy Cost Planning in SAP PS can be used to cost a project initially while Tendering process.Or is there any other tcodes in SAP for tender process? I created Costing Models for most of the possible processes in a civil project and included the labour cost,equipment cost and material cost in it.By this way can we proceed implementing SAP in our tendering department.Looking forward for your valuable replies.

Hi ,
SAP has easycost planning objects available to cater to it. Process starts with inquiry.
1) Create inquiry for customer request. Define service material in material field in VA11
2) Create Project copying closest executed in part ( you have said 70% is engineered fresh, then project is 30 % correct at the time of copying)
3) Amend project to add/chnage/delete components & network activities. Add miilestone payment you wish to propose in quotation.
5) Add project no in inquiry (Accoutn assignment in Line item )
4) Use DP81 traxn to create quotation.Easy-cost planning need to be configured to calculate price( Cost+ mark up scenario possible) There are possibilites to pull as many deatils as you wish in quotation ( As line items) from project structure. It is possible to list major assemblies that will be delivered to customer( Make- To - Order variations). It is also possible to replace Service item used in inquiry with 'Material masters' of FERT & itemization in Quotation. Milestone dates from project will be copied you can propose % billing arrangement at each date to customer.
5) Able to revise quotation seamlessly & resond to customer changes/addtioal request. Revised quotation reflects your ability understand customer request & changes are seamlessly reflected in qty, total price & dates.
6) Upon confirmation of Sale, Sales order can be created copying quotation. All hard work/ iteration of commnucation with customer , need not be defined in system again. Order Acknowledgement will reflect agreements with customer.
SAP E C & O best practice has few more addtion for Civil project ... how to measure % completion based on Mortar used & daily output of cement mixing. That will help,

Easy Cost Planning & Project Stock

Dear Experts,
I am using Easy cost planning for WBS cost planning and Project definition control data tab page has Valuated Project stock selected.My costing model had an external procurement material for which I generated PR & PO thru Execution services.But the account assignment in my PR & PO was P with the corresponding WBS as account assignment and not Q.
I have two question regarding this,
1) Does it mean that while using ECP, Project stock concept will not work?
2)How can we get the pop up of procurement type options(like Res + PR for WBS element) while generating PR through execution services?

Hi,
I am replying again because in my last answer there was some typing mistake.
Hi,
I tried your scenario is my system.
whenever i am changing P to Q in Config in SPRO,It is giving an error that "The selected account assignment category is not supported" that means it is not meant for Q but i double click for object type PR WBS Element and changed Acct Assgmt Cat to Q then system allowed me to save.
The i create a PR and WBSE is coming in the Account Assignement ,then i converted PR to PO and then i recived goods as project stock.when i issued the material in ECP it is not issuing from Project stock because 221 Q is not present in Config for SPRO so it is issuing from Normal stock so special stock from ECP is not supported.
But you can manually issue the material to the WBSE in MIGO/MB1A by 221 Q.
Hope it is clear.

Check the Costing Model in CKCM and do changes as per your requirement.
Now Use this costing Model in CJ20N while cost planning for wbse. you can change cost plan here also as per wbse specific requirement.

Easy cost planning in Project & sales pricing

Dear All

Kindly advise me how do i do this?
I need to create easy cost planning from project and from project i need to create salespricing through DP91. I have assigned DIP profile in project profile.

Hi,
Yes, that is the key that determines how a cost estimate is performed and valuated.
Depending on the object being costed, either the functions of either unit costing or product costing can be used.To calculate the costs of producing a material, you create a product cost estimate with or without a quantity structure
In a cost estimate with a quantity structure, the costing variant determines the following:
1. Which dates are valid for the cost estimate itself and for exploding and valuating the quantity
structure.
2. How the BOMs and routings are selected to create the quantity structure
3. Which prices are selected to valuate the quantity structure
4. How overhead is calculated
You create a unit cost estimate to cost the following objects:
1.Materials (cost estimate without quantity structure)
2.Materials (additive cost estimate)
3.Production orders in Controlling
4.Internal orders
5.WBS elements
6.Base planning objects
7.Cost object IDs
8.Sales documents
In unit costing, the costing variant determines which prices are selected to valuate the individual costing items and how overhead is calculated.
Costing variants are also used to calculate costs for Production orders,Networks,Maintenance orders,
Run schedule headers,Process orders,Sales document items,Appropriation requests,Ad hoc cost estimates.
A costing variant is linked to the control parameters like Costing type,Valuation variant,
Date control (in costing with and without quantity structure).
For config of Costing Variant,
Go to SPRO- Project system-Costs-Planned Costs-Costing-Define Costing Variants
Hope this helps.

Is it Possible to do easy cost planning in network and acitivity level

Hi,
Is it possible to do easy cost planning in network and acitivity level
Rgds
Purna.M

Dear Sanjeev,
ECP not possible at Network or activities but it is not like that as you saying " any of cost planning not possible at activity level as per sap standard."
It is possible to do Network Cost Planning, for that you have to make the settings required for to determining the plan costs in networks.
In networks/activities the plan costs are:
Calculated automatically on the basis of the defined price and quantity structures
Planned using unit costings for general costs activities or material components
for this make the setting in config of PS node Project System -> Cost -> Planned Costs -> Automatic Costing in Networks/Activities.

Easy Cost Planning

Hi ,
I am using Easy cost planning methodlogy for Cost planning.
I need some guidance on following points.
1. Can easy cost plan can be saved in versions ?
2. In CJ30 planned cost I can view in annual view but it doesn't get Summed up at Header level WBS ?
3.After releasing the WBS easy cost plan can be changed How to restrict that ?
Pl suggest.
Rgds

Hi Rasam,
You can see the ECP of simulation using CJ20N, or CJ9ECP.
The multiple ecp (MECP) is applied using SAP extenstion, after release 2.0. If you can check the system status of your system, you can find out, if the EA_APPL (at least 2.0 release) is applied your system or not. IF yes, you can find the corresponding customizing to active the MECP.
If MECP is active, you can then determine in which version should be ECP maintained. You get an additional POP UP screen to let you select the CO version, as you lauch to the ECP in CJ20N or CJ9ECP.
Kind regards,
Zhenbo
