Can Absorption costing transfer in COPA?

Hi All
I would appreciate your help. Please provide me details explanation over.
1) Can we transfer Absorption Costing in COPA?
2) What is the procedure?
( It is my request please use full form rather than short words).

Hi Shobhi,
Absorption costing is charging all fixed and variable costs of production to sales effected in a period.To major extent it is possible to transfer Absorption costing to COPA. I am not sure about how to give effect of difference in openeing and closing stock.
The procedure for costing based copa is as follows.
You get Revenue as well as cost (standard cost) of goods sold through billing documents. The sales which cannot be effected through billing documents can be accounted through Financial entries having real cost object as "PSG" i.e. profitability segments.
Now coming to production order variances, at the period end, you can transfer all these to COPA.
Your production cost centers will have some debit/credit balances which can be assessed to COPA. So variable cost is abosrbed to COPA.
About fixed cost ,service cost center balance and cost related to HR , Marketing etc can be assessed to COPA. So this way you can absorb all the cost to COPA.
Following example will help you in understanding.
Assume the standard cost consist of Rs 100 for material and Rs 20 for Activity totalling Rs120 .Consider a production order where it is debited with Rs 100 for material and Rs 40 for activity totalling 140 Rs. Now credit is Rs 120 (standard cost) so the balance Rs 20 is transferred to COPA after variance calculation and settlement of variance.
Consider a production cost center where activity cost is absorbed and the debit to this cost center is
Rs 60 and activity cost is Rs 40 which is credit. So the balance of Rs 20 can be transferred to COPA through cost center assessment.
The balance of Adminsitration,marketing cost center is Rs 10 respectively which can be assessed to COPA through cost center assessment
Now COPA report will look like as follows
Sales Rs 200
less Standard cost Rs 120
Gross margin Rs 80
Less Production order Variance Rs 20
Balance Rs 60
less Cost center balance Rs 20
Net margin Rs 40
Less Admin/Mktg Cost Rs 20
Balance net profit Rs 20
You see the Profit and Loss account as follows
Sales 200 Rs
less
Material cost Rs 100
Other cost Rs 60 (Debited to Production Cost centers)
HR /Mktg cost Rs 20
Balance Profit Rs 20
In the above example, how to account for difference between Opening stock value of WIP and closing stock value of WIP is not clear to me. May be experts can throw some light on this.

Repair request spare parts costs transfer to COPA

I have system configured that when I have repair request and I need to deliver a spare parts the cost of this are issued and booked with Outbound delivery document to FI. There is no costs on a repair request order.
I wonder if it is any way to book the cost of mentioned spare parts cost to COPA as well?
Thanks in advance,
Rafal

Hello
Process is like below:
1. Creating a repair request (VA01) for broken warranty item
2. Delivery is done for the item with Post Goods Issue.
Above steps create only material document with no FI document.
3. In change order (VA02) for just created repair request in Repair TAB repairs and replacement Business decision is done.
4. Deliver is done. In deliver there are two materials and after having the Post Goods Issue, system create material document and FI document (warehouse -> cost of sales)
This is all the steps, no invoice is done issued for this process.
Thanks for interesting,
Rafal

Split Valuation Material Cost Estimate into COPA

Hi all,
Is there any way how we can transfer the split valuation material cost estimate into COPA?
I checked the actual line items, there is no "valuation type / batch" characteristics there.
Is this the main cause?
Please kindly suggest on the best way to solve this issue
Thank you very much
Regards, Erwin

Hi, Ajay
Does this mean that, even though i manage to create the valuation type as characteristic in COPA, i won't be able to get 2 different cost estimate based on valuation type into COPA?
Hm, then, are there any solutions which can be done to solve this issue?
The client needs a COPA report which can show the breakdown of the sold materials cost estimates
As usual, thank you very much for your help

But in copa when i am doing reporting for the month of april revenue of 1000000(10000100) units and cost(var+fixed) 600000(1000050 as variable oh + 10000*10 as fixed OH) will transfer from product costing to Copa.
But fixed oh is 150000 (50000+100000) in above example.
How to transfer 150000 as fixed OH in copa instead of 100000 for the month of april.
Your help will be highly appreciated.

Hi,
If on 1st April you have this information thro a product costing report then the easiest way to transfer to COPA is via KE21N transaction

How sale forecast transfer to COPA via KSPP and not related to long term,

Dear all experts,
i am trying to transfer my sale forecast to COPA via KSPP. However, this is not related to product group and long term planning.
any configuration involve?
what is the step that i need to proceed?
please advise.
CJ

I think you are misunderstood something. The KSPP transaction is used to transfer the activity for the planned order; either long-term or short term to cost center activity type planning (in scheduled activity; and with reconciliation function, can copy to plan quantity).
It is not related to sales forecast from COPA to SOP which KE1E t-code is used.
For KSPP, you can set the transfer control in configuration. Alternatively, without configuration, you can use flexible transfer (menu Environment -> Flexible transfer). This provide that you have the master data in PP and CO setup correctly.

Transferring results of material cost estimates to COPA

Hi,
I heard that it is possible to transfer the standard prices of materials estimated in material cost estimate to COPA.
Which transation is used for this purpose?
Regards,
Karol

Karol,
Incase of made to stock scenario, there is no specific transcation code to transfer the stanadrad price of a material to COPA it gets automatically transferred to COPA when the billing document are released to accounts.
The variance in the production order if any will be transferred to COPA when theproducion order is finally settled.

Material cost estimation in COPA

Hello Everyone
I have question regarding how details of cost Estimate will flow to COPA Report.
Variance of Product cost will flow in COPA through PA Transfer Structure and its flowing on my report. However, I want to flow COGM (break up of the cost components) on COPA reports.
I have done below steps but itu2019s not flowing.
I have maintained Define Costing Keys for Accessing Material Cost Estimates. ( I have maintained 3 key with different Period Indicators.
A. Released Standard cost estimate matching goods issue
     B. Current standard cost estimate to entry in Mat
     C. Material cost estimate matching posting date.
Assign costing key in material ledger and i activate material ledger in actual costing/ material ledger.
I have chosen table lookup with MBEW on source fields in u201COriginu201D tab with        MATNR, BWKEY and BWTAT as field and in assignment I have take VPRSV.
Maintain another with same field name in Source and selected KALAWI in Target fields.
            And assigned the costing keys to key for accessing material cost to step1
I have assigned Cost Component structure to operating concern. ( I have created
Value fields which shows the details for COGM in Cost sheet and maintained the same in it.)
I have maintained external material group and assigned to Material master.
After doing all the above steps Material Ledger TAB is getting populated on the Material Master but when I run the Standard Cost Estimate its not showing details for Cost of sales in COPA.
Please do let me know if I need to do any additional steps with.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Srinu,
By activating Material Ledger without knowing about it and without knowing it's relevancy to the client's business process....YOU DID A BLUNDER MISTAKE
Materia Ledger along with Actual Costing need to be activated if you want to go for Actual Costing inaddition to Standard Costing.
"""Once activate Material Ledger for any Plant, you willl not be able to de-activate""".
In which client are you doing this? It it in only Golden Master, just immediately deactivate ML. If you have already copied the customization request to Unit Testing Client, you cannot do anything there, but don'g transport it to Quality Server.
When you activate ML, many things right from basics will change...for example Price Indicator in Material Master (S or V). Hell lot of descipline is required during Period-End closing etc.
YOU SHOULD NOT ACTIVATE MATERIAL LEDGER UNLESS THE BUSINESS PROCESS REALLY NEEDS IT -- this only suggestion from my side...
First you deactivate and come back to know about Costing Key...

Inter company COGS and Cost Components in COPA

Looked at so many threads but couldn't find a proper answer.
Scenario: Company B in Canada books a sales order, delivering from a Plant in Company A in US. US bills Canada at Cost + Mark up.
In US:
On Goods issue COGS is booked based on std in US (say $10)
On Inter company billing - (Cost + 20% mark up) Inter company receivable is $12, this triggers a payable on Canada side.
In Canada:
We can have $12 booked as COGS when Payable entry is created in Canada through IDOC. so Accounting is OK.
How can I have this COGS of $12 posted in COPA ? Somewhere I read to use two condition types for VPRS, but unfortunately we cant do that as we have revenue recognition activated. only VPRS condition values comes through revenue recognition lines.
Since Delivering plant in US has a Standard cost of $10, VPRS is $10 in sales order and COPA gets the cost components from US plant, which is not correct. How can I have the mark up of $2 reflected in Cost components in COPA ?.
Assuming that I create a standard Cost estimate in a virtual Plant in Canada for $12 with two cost components for $10 and $2. Is it possible to manipulate VPRS on sales order to point to standard cost from this virtual plant and create a costing key to bring the cost split from this virtual plant into COPA. Has anybody tried this ?
Thanks in advance.
Krishna

Hi Krishna
1. Does this material always necessitates a supply from US company??
If yes, then your task is easy.. Create a Costing Key and assign to such materials in KE4H... In this Costing Key, do not tick the radio button "Use Line Item Plant as Cost estimate Plant".... Instead, You can specify the default PLANT to be used for reading the Cost Estimates in the field "Specify Cost estimate PLant"
You can use the above solution in case you go with Virtual Plant also
2. Are you saying that the VPRS in Sales order punched in Canadian comp code is 10 USD because the Delivery Plant is in US comp code?
I dont know how does Revenue recog behave in your case and when does VPRS (COGS) flow to COPA.... As you said, VPRS gets the feed from RR, so will manually manipulating the VPRS in sales order help you??
Anyways, the 2nd solution is as below... Few companies have used it
There is an output type in SD called RD04... I may not be fully right here, you can take it as RD0*... Ask your SD guy to identify the right output type
Using this, When you do the PGI in Canadian Comp code,
................. All this happens in background automatically...............
you can create a Virtual STO on USA Comp code....
USA does PGI and the stock virtually comes in Canadian Comp code
Then PGI happens from Canadian Comp code
................. All this happens in background automatically...............
This is a change in your process... The delivery plant for all practical purposes becomes Canadian Plant (only on paper)... Your Physical process can continnue as Delivery from USA...
This solution was adopted when both the companies were in same country.... Check with your business how far is it possibie for you
3. Last option would be to use valuation exit COPA0002.... I dont know how you would use it considering you have RR in place....
Be very careful in doing this

Allocation of Costs from Cost center to COPA

Hi
We are booking costs to a Cost Center with reference to a Primary Cost Element. However, in month end, the same cost has to be transferred to COPA. One of the Characteristics in COPA is also Profit Center.
The issue is that we can allocate costs from Cost centers to COPA through Assesement Rule, system requirement is for Assesement Cost Element, which is a secondary Cost element. In such a case, the PCA Balances, after execution of Assesement cycle are shown with the Secondary Cost Elements.
In a case, I have booked costs of INR 100000 in a cost center 103007 against a Primary Cost Element 423101. Since Profit Center 103007 is assigned in Cost Center 103007, the Profit Center Line Items will show a balance of INR 100000 against cost element 423101 for Profit Center 103007.
After this at month end, we need to allocate costs from Cost Center to COPA. But the requirement is that after allocation also, the balances should be shown against Cost Element 423101 for Profit Center 103007
Regards
Sanil

Hi Sanil
That is not possible.. There is no "Distribution cycle" available for COPA.. In COPA you can have either an Assessment Cycle or an Indirect Act Allocation or a Template Allocation...
I dont know about template allocation as I have never used that, but gut feel says even that wont serve the purpose...
One work around is you allocate from Cost Center to an Internal Order using Distribution cycle... Then Allocate from IO to COPA using assessment... In order to use IO as sender in allocation cycle, use note 605281
At best, what you can do is to use an Allocation Structure instead of one single assessment cost element per Segment... Using an Alloc Str, you can map, say, GL Accounts for Basic Salary, DA, HRA to one Secondary cost element... This way, create logical groupings of GL accounts and map to multiple secondary cost elements
But bear in mind, The more you use Secondary cost elements, the more will be the line items in CE1XXXX table...

Budget Updation (commitment,actual) after cost transfer

Hi Gurus
we are going to start one project by next month.For that we are finalizing wbs element etc.this project will be in separate plant.
but initial expenses like land acquisition,statutory expenses are already booked against cost center.now we want to transfer the cost in cost center in to wbs elements.I know this can be done via KB11N. But the problem is when i am transferring cost budget details in CJ31 are not updating.means there is no effect in budget (commitment,actual,assigned)
My client wants to update commitment,actual in CJ30 after cost transfer from cost center to WBS
Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Haran.

Hi Hari,
The expenses transferred to WBSE will be in the form of actuals which can be seen in "Assigned" tab of txn. CJ30.
As per my understanding costing is already carried out in your project & you have used it for budget generation & these actuals were not a part of earlier costing then you can manually update the project cost & copy it again as budget in CJ30.
I hope it will help.

BOS: Cost Transfer to the Project – Online Processing (T. Code: BOSPS01)

Hi,
BOS: Cost Transfer to the Project – Online Processing (T. Code: BOSPS01):
I am trying to transfer the BOS costing items to Project WBS elements. To change the BOS quantity, I could not view the ‘Item View for Quantity Transfer’ in the displayed screen (Pic 1).
I checked the configuration settings under Project System --> Costs --> Planned Costs --> Easy Cost Planning and Execution Services --> Easy Cost Planning, but did not found the solution.
The project profile is newly defined, but assigned the SAP standard Planning Profile (130001) to the Project Profile and the SAP steetings --> Costing Variant (PS06) is assigned to Planning Profile (130001).
The displayed screen is as shown below:
Please let me know how to get the ‘Item View for Quantity Transfer’.
