Cannot bring material cost, labour, overhead to copa

Dear Forum,
Why it is saying that cannot bring material cost, labour, overhead to copa?
"In all the system COGS clearing account exists.......but for COPA, condition type VPRS is attached to cost element Cost of Goods Sold because you can not bring all the cost like material, labour, overhead into COPA.....so all procuring cost flows to VPRS condition type and in turn COGS is deducted from the sales revenue to derive Gross Profit...."
Thanks alot.

How the Material costs and Overheads flow from Logistics to COPA

Hi,
I know that Revenue will flow to COPA from SD Condition types which we assigned to value fields in KE4I.
But i am not clear how the Material cost will flow to COPA?
How the Overheads will flow to COPA?
Kindly help me in understanding the flow...
Thanks

Raw Material Costing with Overhead, Product Cost Planning

Hi,
I have an issue applying overhead to purchased raw materials. We need to apply this overhead for only a certain materials. So, I have defined a overhead key/overhead Group, and assigned the group in the material master of the raw material. The overhead is 2% freight on raw material costs.
In the std.costing variant, I have assigned the costing sheet under Overhead on material components tab of the corresponding valuation variant. I have also included the Freight OH in the cost component structure.
However, when I run the costing with CK11N for the raw material, it is showing only the raw material cost, not the overhead.
What could be the problem?
I appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Ram

Is the overhead rate a percentage type or quantity based?
Have you maintained both actual and plan rates (1 & 2) under define % based OH rates or Qty based OH rates accordingly?
Does the validity date (in define OH rates )cover the date of costing?
Is the Costing sheet assigned to the valuation variant at plant level?
Is the OH base in the costing sheet includes the cost element of the raw material?

Purchase Rebate is adding to Material cost value field

In customizing the integration of other modules with COPA you have keep in mind the sign logic because it may be different for values coming from different modules.
Example: In our system revenue-reducing sales conditions come to COPA with a negative sign. In postings that come directly from FI to COPA, a negative sign means earnings. So we cannot assign any Fi account for direct posting to COPA to the same value field as SD conditions, because the sign logic doesn't match. We have to use different value fields and then get the formulas right in creating COPA reports to get the correct result in COPA.
I think your problem here is of the same kind: Rebates from purchase seem to come with the same sign as cost of goods sold AND go to the same value field, although one consitutes cost and the other a reduction in costs.
I think you have to get your rebates to post to another value field. Are those rebates an MM-condition or do they go to COPA through an assignment of FI-account to a value field?

Assign direct material cost to value field in copa while issue to Prod orde

Dear All,
My requirement is like this:
There are some 16 material groups from A to P each containing some materials(finished goods).
I want to allocate overhead to different material groups(Charecteristic in copa) in COPA using the periodic assesment cycles. I am able to allocate overhead(admin & sales cost) to different value fields in copa from different cost centers.
I want to analyse the product cost and also the profitability of each material group in COPA using Report painter. Iam able to pull all the costs which i assign to value fields using assessment. But, i am NOT able to get the direct material cost which is issued to production orders using BOM.
My question is whether we can assign the direct material cost to any user defined value field(material cost value field) while the material is being issued to production orders. Is there any automated way where we can directly assign the direct material cost to value field in copa while issuing the material to Production orders.
Pls explain me whether we can do it. if yes how?
Thank you very much in advance.
Regards,
Vishnu

PA is a Profitability analysis tool. That means it gets updated when a sale is made, not before. (Except for settlements and assessment of overheads.)
Goods issues for production gets updated in CO-PC, and needs to be analysed there. If you don't, you loose all the inbuilt tools for variance analysis, cost estimate comparisons, Wip Calculation etc. To the best of my knowledge, a Profitability Segment cannot be used as a cost object in Production Planning, because amongst others, you need to be able to capitalise the produced materials to stock at the end of the production run, or to WIP at the end of the Financial period,which is not possible with PS.
Similarly, overheads are recorded in CCA and needs to be analysed there.
If one goes against these big groupings in SAP, you always run into problems.

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.
Srinivas

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...

Split the material cost into labor and overhead costs

Hello Experts,
We get Finished Goods from another plant and that plant is not on SAP. So we load these materials as Finished Goods and enter the price in the costing tab and we do run cost estimates. In the cost estimate we see this price as material cost. How can we split this material cost into material + labor + over head costs? Is there anywhere we can enter the percentages that would split the total price into material and labor and overhead prices? I appreciate your time and response.
Thanks In Advance

HI Venkat,
You can only split material cost using origin groups and not into material, labour & OH as you may know the cost components are grouping of cost elements (with an option to use origin groups).
If this is too important for you to maintain that cost component split, then I see the only way is to consider maintaining quantity structure in SAP for the finished product, so that cost roll up happens with cost components.
Hope this helps.

Hi Ajay
Thanks for the reply.
The COPA Documents Generated 2 Times through settlement.
*When document generated.*
1 After Delivery Sales order is settled
2 After Billing Sales order is settled
*What sort of value*
There i maintain the PA Stracture as same as CCS. But in the COPA report system is updating Material Cost 2 times.
*Record Type*
Record Type for documents is C in both cases
Settlement after Billing & Delivery.

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

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.

COPA - Planned Material Cost not appearing in KE30 report

Hi all
In COPA planning, I manually planned the Material cost (Material External Price) along with the Sales Quantity and Revenue for two company codes (one plant in each co code). But in KE30 report, I could see the material cost (MEP) values only for one company codeplant. What could be the issue?
I even tried valuation in KEPM. Valuation step is calculating and populating the material cost in KEPM, but the values are not flowing to KE30 reports. And this happens to only one of the two company codes.
Thanks
Vamsi

Hi Vamsi
Please check table CE2XXXX, where XXXX = Op Concern.... Here, can you see the plan line items??
If yes, then the issue is with your report definition in KE30... May be you are restricting values display in KE30 report by virtue of your selection parameters

Error reading material cost estimate for sales order (KE292)

Dear All,
I have an issue with billing. we are posting july month transactions, the material cost is maintained through MR21. When releasing billing document for accounting we are getting error message like"Error reading the material cost estimate for sales order "11"
Message no. KE292
Diagnosis
In Profitability Analysis (CO-PA), the system tried to valuate item 000010 of sales order 11 by reading the corresponding product cost estimate.
However, no product cost estimate could be found for this sales order item.
The system accessed product costing for product AMLFP011011XX00P using costing key YB3 as defined in the
CO-PA Customizing settings.
System Response
The system cannot process the document any further.
Procedure
Check your Customizing settings."
We cross checked with other client as a current date and we ran cost estimate through CK40N with same material. and we posted entries. Here it is working fine. but in above process it is not working. Can you pls guide me where i missed.
Regards,
Nagaraju,

Hi,
When the Costing Key is assigned to the material types in the COPA customizing, then system expects Cost estimation when billing is released to Accounts.
If you dont run cost estimation but update the material master through MR21, system will not accept as in the Costing key configuration you must have selected the Current Standard price field for the valuation.
Hence, try to run cost estimation and then do releasing.
Thanks & Regards
