Calculation of Var. at target cost

hi gurus,
i want to know hw are variances occurred using PCC. the various types of variances that can possibly occour during a prodcut costing.
regards
sayeed

Dear Sayeed,
1.Under what conditions is the variance calculated while using PCC (Product cost collector)?
Say for example for order qty of 2 nos, planned price is 10 & Hours to be produce is 2 hrs
Niow while confirming , user will Give activity time as 3 hrs for order qty 2 nos
so now variance is 1 hr cost of machine, labour etc
2 .How is target cost determined ?

[what different between Target cost & Plan cost & Actual cost;

Target Cost was zero in production order

Hello,
We are experiencing every 1st day of the month target cost was zero for those production order which basic start date was on the 1st day of the month, this happen last march and this april it also happening but in january and february we did not experienced this issue. we wonder how this happening to us, since as we check those production order which basic start date was on the 2nd date and prior all has values in its target cost, this is for same finished material. How was this happening to our plant? how can we check and resolve this issue? am on a PP guy, as i have check the data of those order nothing peculiar for me, and it those material has cost estimate ok, this was released on the 01.01.2009 in this costing run will last untill of the year this was also been seen in the material master data current cost estimate.
As we have search for the performance assistant in SAP it thus tells us:
Total Target Costs
Total value of the target costs.
Calculated with the following formula:
Total target costs = Target cost debit + Target cost credit.
Use
Target costs are the planned costs adjusted to the actual operating rate.
The target debit on a manufacturing order is the sum of the activity-independent planned debit of the order and the activity-dependent planned debit of the order multiplied by the actual quantity of the order.
The target credit of a manufacturing order results from the goods receipt postings to stock. The delivered actual quantity is valuated with the planned price according to the price control.
The total value of the target costs is the sum of the target debit and the target credit.
The target costs are calculated during variance calculation and updated to the database.
The target costs cannot be shown until you have performed variance calculation for this target cost version. The target credit for the calculation of the total variances and production variances cannot be calculated until an actual quantity for an order exists after a goods receipt posting.
For the calculation of variances, the target costs are compared with the control costs.
Dependencies
The calculation of target costs depends on the selected target cost version.
But still we don't know how to check the issue and fixed it:
Please help us and guide us to resolve this issue
Thanks

Hi,
in some more details i have found out on our issue, one of the prerequisite for our variant calculation is Variance calculation at the manufacturing order level requires that the order is fully delivered (final confirmation is done) and technically completed ( except order pass through the mid night of period end ). Those informations can be displayed in the manufacturing order status.
order should be TECO right? but as said on this order pass through the mid night of period end can be have variance calculation, thus am right? this could be affect why the target cost was zero?
Thanks

Total target cost

Hi...,
I want to know the formula or table-field for"Total target cost" for activity type for production order.
For exm. - Tcode CO02 - goto - cost -analysis ,.. here system gives activity wise production cost.That target cost I want to give in zreport.
Thanks in advance.

Target cost is calculated field during runtime as i am aware of.
but how to calculate that which i can share with you
Total target costs = Target cost debit + Target cost credit
Target costs are the planned costs adjusted to the actual operating
    rate.
The target debit on a manufacturing order is the sum of the
    activity-independent planned debit of the order and the
    activity-dependent planned debit of the order multiplied by the actual
    quantity of the order.
The target credit of a manufacturing order results from the goods
    receipt postings to stock. The delivered actual quantity is valuated
    with the planned price according to the price control.
The total value of the target costs is the sum of the target debit and
    the target credit.
The target costs are calculated during variance calculation and updated
    to the database.
The target costs cannot be shown until you have performed variance
    calculation for this target cost version. The target credit for the
    calculation of the total variances and production variances cannot be
    calculated until an actual quantity for an order exists after a goods
    receipt posting.
For the calculation of variances, the target costs are compared with the
    control costs.
The system uses the operating rate to adjust the plan costs of a period to the actual activity
Operating rate = (Actual activity  Plan activity) X 100
Total target costs = Fixed plan costs + Variable plan costs X Operating rate
example -
The system uses the operating rate to adjust the plan
costs of a period to the actual activity. The operating rate is based on the following formula:
Operating rate = (Actual activity / Plan activity) X 100
Targeet qty is ac alculated qty = BOM ratio * actual production qty
i.e. A product X is the componet
A production plan 10
Actual prodution = 12
Component qty plan = 1
component actual qty = 2
cost of compnent = 1$
target qty = 12*1/10= 1.2
I hope it will help you

Target Cost of KKS2

Dear SAP Guru,
I want to know the calculation procedure of "Total Target Cost" for Labor in KKS2.
In the KKS2 "Total Target Cost" of Labor is showing 72.91/=. But I cannot understand how it is come from.
Please advice me.
Best Regards,
Shoyeb

Hi,
The planned costs in target cost version 0 are taken from the material cost estimate.
The planned costs itself are not standardized or changed in the variance calculation but shown as they were updated.
In order to compare planned costs with actual costs planned costs are standardized to the output quantity and updated as target costs.
For variance analysis only the target costs shall be compared with the actual costs but not the planned costs.

How system determine target cost ?

Dear experts,
we use moving average price control for in-house production parts, when we finish one production order, I can not see any target cost from cost analysis.
Can you tell me how system determine target cost ? for moving average price control , is that mandatory for variance calculation ?
BR , Shubin

Hi
Target cost is calculated based on released Standard cost estimate
What you are doing is wrong.. Follow S for In House Made items and release standard cost estimate before GR

Only remaining var. in version 0 - no target costs

Hi!
We are doing settlement for process orders, most of the process orders are created and goods receipts happened before standard cost estimation is released.
So during varaince calculation (KKS2/KKS1) we are getting error message: Only remaining var. in version 0 - no target costs
as we cannot cancel the goods receipts for process orders, we are doing settlements with remaining variance only.
The variance will directly go to CO-PA, as we have activated the same.
the example of one process order:
Total goods receipt is : 44175.58     co-product 1
                                   3757.38     co-product 2
total receipt              47932.96
Materials Issued(GI)     20025.98
Activity Cost          11985.3
_Total Cost     _     32011.28
the variance is:            13764.86             co-product 1 ( as per settlement rule 95%)
                                  2156.82              co-product 2 ( as per settlement rule 5%)
                                  15921.68
Once we have done the settlement there are 4 accounting documents posted for variance:
1.     Cost of production a/c DR 3757.38
                    TO Variance A/C Cr 3757.38 ( value flowing to COPA)
2.     Cost of production a/c DR 44175.58
                    TO Variance A/C Cr 44175.58 ( value flowing to COPA)
3.     Cost of production a/c CR 1600.56
                   TO Variance A/C Dr 1600.56 ( value is not flowing to COPA)
4.     Cost of production a/c CR 30410.72
                    TO Variance A/C Dr 30410.72 ( value is not flowing to COPA)
So the net effect of variance account posting in FI is OK.
But where as in CO-PA, variance is different, because only first two values ( total goods receipt value as variance amount) as above are passing to COPA.
Now how can we rectify the variance values in CO-PA?
We are using PA transfer structure A1 with the following assignments:
10     Input price variance
20     Mat Input quantity variance
30     Mat Resource-usage variance
40     Remaining input variance
50     Mixed-price variance
60     Output price variance
70     Lot size-/fixed-cost variance
80     Remaining variance

Hi ramesh
You need to live with this as you cant reverse the GR
To check this henceforth, use badi Workorder_update and write abap code for the Method AT SAVE or AT RELEASE... Check if field MBEW-LPLPR is INITIAL

KKS1 Only remaining var. in version 0 - no target cost Message no. KV151

Hi,
I am trying to variance calculation using T-code KKS1 but i am facing error as below,
Only remaining var. in version 0 - no target costs for 000001000010
Message no. KV151
Diagnosis
For the calculation of variances with 000001000010 , the target costs in target cost version 0 are missing for the following reasons:
There were no planned costs and/or planned quantities (see earlier message).
The quantities on which the planned costs were based are zero in the time period concerned. This may be caused by the fact that no goods receipt for a cost object (such as a product cost collector or production order) has been entered.
This results in target costs of zero.
System Response
Because no target costs were calculated, the difference between the
planned and actual costs could not be broken down into variance categories. The difference is updated as a remaining variance.
please guide me or missing any config
Thanks
Shital

Hi Shital
there are many posts available in the forum already on this topic... I would recommend to search the forum before posting any question, thats the rule of the forum
You are facing this error for one or more of the following reasons
1. Your standard cost estimate is not released. This must be released before GR from the production order
2. If your contr area currency is diff than comp code currency, then your cost estimate must also be updated in contr area currency.. You do this in costing variant (OKKN)
3. GR might not have been done in the month for which you are calculating variance... i.e. This production order was created, say, in July end but actual processing and GR done in August.. So when you calculate variance for July, this error appears. In this case, you can ignore this error

Exclusion of target cost in Variance calculation

Hi,
While calculating variance in period end closing for a process order we are getting the errors.
1) No standard cost estimate for material 400000020 in plant TSIL on 26.12.2006 Target Costs: Determine Valuation Basis
2) Only remaining var. in version 0 - no target costs for 000001000109 Variances
We do not want to include the Target cost in variance calculation.
Please advise.
Regards
Aniruddha

Hello Anirudh,
If you choose costing version in variance calculation 0, then system calculates variance based on std. cost est. and actual cost. if you select 1, then system calculates variance based on planned cost and actual cost.
Go to customization settings in variance analysis calculation and change the costing version from 0 to 1.
Please let me know if you require any more clarifications.
Reward points if helpful.

No Target Costs, so No Variances calculated

We have an order type (PCOL) for Collective Orders. If we create 1 that is just a single order, it calculates target costs, and resulting variances fine (same as our std order type PP01). However, if we create a structured set of PCOL orders (Lead order with multiple sub orders), none of these calculate variances (PA doc), and we get message KV017 when we run variances on them.
Looking into it further, I can see all the target costs on these orders are nil, despite the fact the all the costing data on the control tab is the same as the songle PCOL order.
We does this structured set of orders not calculate any Target costs, and consequently no PA variances?
Any advice greatly appreciated
Thanks
Graham

Target cost calculation in Process Order based on Variance Calculation

Hi all,
I have a question on Target cost calculation in Process Order. My understanding is, the Target Costs gets calculated when the confirmation and GR is made for the Process Order.
But if the confirmation/GR is not done, whether the target costs gets calculated for only the activity types after the Variance Calculation (KKS2).
I have two scenarios. In one, the target costs got calculated for the activity types without the confirmation/GR after the Variance calculation.
In another scenario, the target costs are not getting calculated for the activity types without the confirmation/GR if I try to do the variance calculation in KKS2.
SO i want to know which scenario is correct?
Can anyone answer this question?
Thanks and Regards,
Brijesh

Hi,
In general, the target costs are calculated once you deliver the order.
Target costs for the components and the activities are updated only once you deliver the order and the target cost for the finished product gets updated when you do the variance calculation.
Consider your scenario number 1 - you said the target costs got calculated for activity types without confirmation / GR after variance calculation.
Now, if the order is not having any status like PDLV, DLV or TECO it will not calculate the variances in the first place.
Your second scenario is correct - without GR the system does not calculate any target costs. Also it will not calculate any variances because the order status is still not DLV.

Sameer

Target Cost in Process Order not calculated

Hello,
In Process order, after deliver of FG the target cost is not getting calculated,
Could you please help me why the target cost is not calculated in process order.
I have configured all setting for WIP and Variance

Hi,
Target costs are only calculated after goods movements have occured on the order, the Target Costs are then calculated during the Variance calculation.
Target costs will only be calculated after the first goods receipt has been posted to the order. Also you have to ensure that the information to calculate target costs exists on the system in particular in OKV6.
This estimation is based on the customizing for the Target cost version in transaction OKV6 as in turn will the "real" calculation of the Target costs via the variance calculation.
So in OKV6 the Target cost will be based on preliminary costing on the order, an alternative cost estimate or the current standard cost estimate. Importantly if the choosen option is not fulfilled e.g. no current standard cost estimate, the target costs will not be predicted or calculated.

Production order Target cost Zero - Varience calculation error KV151

Hi Experts,
I am having an issue on KKS2 variance calculation, system throwing error KV151 Target cost is 'Zero'
All pre-requisites are ok including BOM, Rates, Routings etc..
Process:
Production order with FERT - valuated material,
All BOM components in production order are Non valuated stock items, Non-stock items
Note: Cost Estimat e is for Labor and Overhead only.
After production order confirmation CO11N, production order Cost analysis displays - Target value ("Zero") and actual value.
Due to above reason in KSS2 we are unable to calculate variance, system displayed error KV151.
I cannot settle the production order, guide if I am missing some thing in config. ?
I appreciate you quick response.
Thanks,
RK

Thanks for your reply Swapvik & Takashi, I have no issues on configuration side very thing looks good.
Cost estimate - Good
Variance key - Good
Production order - FERT (Valuated) - good
BOM components - UNBW, NLGS only - Good
Labor rates - good
Periods - good
Production order confirmation - Good
Actual cost - Good
My Issue is Target cost is zero on cost analysis in CO03 but if I can see target cost in KKBC_ORD report.
I am unable to calculate variance and settlement.
I appreciate your response.
Thanks,
Raj

Target cost calculation in an Production order

Hello
Can any one guide me , how the target cost was calculated for various activities ?.
I believe the actual cost were pulled from the standard cost estimate . We have various activates for Labor / Quality / maintenance etc.. we want to correct all the cost . Any input will be highly appreciated
Thanks

Hi,
You post goods receipt for the order (MB31) and the target cost will be calculated, you may try this if it will help.

Target cost calculation

Hi All,
In the production order, when we displays the cost analysis, we get Target cost. Can anyone please explain how the target cost for indirect activity allocation (ex:Machine hrs,Wage hrs etc.,) is calculated? I mean is there any specific formula or calculation involved in the same?

Hi,
In production order (CO03 --> Cost analysis) I want to know what different between Target cost & Plan cost & Actual cost?
Total Plan Cost = Std Cost the material required to Produce X Planned Qty of the required material
Target Cost = Std Cost the material planned to Produce X Std Qty of material required to produce, for Produced Actual Qty
Actual Cost = Std Cost the material planned to Produce X Actual Qty of material consumed, for Produced Actual Qty
For Example : Final Material - A,- Qty Planned to Produce - 2 nos
As per Standards, Below Qty of Materials required to Produce A , for 2 Nos
Mat B - 2Nos X INR 50 = INR 100
Mat C - 4Nos X INR 60 = INR 240
Activity Cost = 2 hrs X INR 10 = INR 20
Total Plan Cost = INR 360
Actual Qty Produced = 1 No
Actual Consumption is as follows .
Mat B - 1.5 Nos ( X INR 50 = INR 75 )
Mat C - 2 Nos ( X INR 60 = INR 120 )
Activity Cost = 2 hrs ( X INR 10 = INR 20 )
So, Actual Cost = INR 7512020 = INR 215
Whereas, Target cost for the Actual Qty ( of Product A - 1 Ns) is , as follows,
Mat B - 1 Nos ( X INR 50 = INR 50 )
Mat C - 1.5 Nos ( X INR 60 = INR 90 )
Activity Cost = 1 hrs ( X INR 10 = INR 10 )
Therefore, Target cost = INR 509010 = INR 150
