Change in finished product inventories / cost components

Hello,
We are in the process of implementing SAP and couldn't get an answer to the following.
Our understanding is that the production cost of each finished product is calculated by SAP based on cost components. After manufacturing, the finished products are transferred to the finished product inventory. The change in finished product inventory account (say 713000) is credited with the production cost of the product.
Instead of having this single 713000 account impacted, we would like to have the change in finished product inventory broken down into several, say 713001 raw material component in finished product, 713002 labour cost component in finished product, 713003 subcontracting cost component etc. Can we get SAP to credit automatically each of these accounts based on the cost component (or group of cost components) information in the system ? How should we configure it ? (is there a link between the cost component or group of cost component and the account)
Many thanks for your help
Best regards

Hi Vincent,
In my understanding you are not clear with the requirement and therefore you are struggling with SAP. Please understand the following:
1. The posting of GL accounts are determined by valuation class in material master. So if you want to post on different GLs please define those many valuation class in MM and assign the correct Valuation class to FG goods.
2. When you confirm the production, SAP post the goods issue (i.e. material you define in BOM) by debiting the Material consumption account and credit  the invertory accounts. And also post the goods receipt posting by debiting the FG inventory account and credit the Factory output a/c.
3. Here you have to convience your client that it is best pratice to have one inventory account for one material type, like RM inventory, SFG inventory and FG inventory. Normally we classify the consumption posting in different GLs like Material consumption, Labour consuption, Overhead utilization etc. and that you can define in your cost component structure by grouping the relevent GLs in given cost component items.
4. You have to explain them how SAP works in product costing and how GL documents are posted. You have to also explain them the posting impact in P&L and BS.
I will suggest that you should rediscuss the requirement and explain them the SAP way of valuation and posting. It is a big change management issue and as a CO consultant it is most challenging task.
Thanks and all the best,
Vivek

  • Finished product income

    Hi all,
    I have one finished product with several components (BOM is defined properly). All components have same profit center but finished product doesn't have profit center defined.
    Where can I see income for finished product? Will it be shown on component profit center or I have to define profit center for finished product?

    Hi
    When you deliver a production order to warehouse, the change in stock is created in the profit center of the production order.
    The producion order is assigned to profit center P100
    The production costs were already created when the material consumption, activity input, and so on were posted to the production order.
    Variances are settled to the profit center during order settlement.

  • Finished Products At Real Real Cost

    Hello Gurus,
    I'm working on a requierement where the cost of all finished products need to be calculated according to:
    1) Real material price of all components (raw materials and only raw materials of semifinished products)
    2) Real material consumption of all components (raw materials and raw materials of semifinished products)
    The actual costing structure is configured to calculate costs on the material list and operations. Also, the system is configured with the standard price control for semifinished and finished products and MAP for raw materials. We haven't activate the material ledger yet.
    Standard cost cannot be modified.
    In resume:
    Standar costing and all the process is working fine, but we need to calculate real raw material consumption and real raw material consumption of the semifinished product that is being used in the finished product at real prices.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards, Agustin

    Change the material masters to be moving average.
    But make sure your invoice and other administration is up to date...

  • Raw mat and procured finish product cost

    we need to run cost run for both raw material and product, we want have the following scenario:
    first mark the raw mat. cost run,  then our finished product will get the future price of raw mat and base on BOM to update the future price of finished product.
    after we mark finished product, we then release raw mat standard price and subsequently release finished product.
    is any solution we can define  costing variant for above scenario?
    we have another scenario, we need to run costing run for finished good A, but this product A 's BOM contain only one procured finished product B, B doesn't have BOM and purchase info record, how can we change product B 's price, so finally finished product A 's standard price will be updated upon costing run?

    Hi ,
    In Costing Variant .. we have a Tab for valuation variant . In the valuation variant type , we have seperate valuations for raw Materials , activities, subcontracting etc .
    Cost Estimate with Quanity Structure will refer to the Costing Variant and compute costs .. Hence , maintain Costing Variant and Valuation Variant properly..
    This will solve both your issues..
    Kindly revert back for any further questions..

  • Change Cost components

    Hi,
    What is the transaction code/path to change Cost components in company code
    thanks

    Cost Component Structure is the Structure maintained for cost sheet/product costing. It is also used if Activity based costing etc.
    The T-code to maintian Cost Component Structure is OKTZ.
    The path is
    IMG-Controlling-Product Cost Controlling-product cost planning-basic setting- define cost component strucure
    Hope this solve your problem
    Pls Assign points if satisfied.

  • Subcontracting components and purchasing a finished product

    We have a vendor that sells us the finished product.  However we have to supply them with 2 of the components. One of the issues is that we cannot tell our vendor how much we pay for those 2 components.  And we canu2019t give the parts to the vendor FOC otherwise the board cost will be minus those 2 components. In addition we need to make sure we drive demand for these 2 components.
    So Iu2019m stuck. How do we do this in SAP  while driving demand for those two components and not informing our vendor how much those 2 components are and not to screw up costing?
    Please note: That I do have a production BOM for the finished product and we only need to supply the vendor with 2 components out of the 100 components that take to build the finished product.

    You can create a Subcontracting PO i.e. create a normal PO with Item Category L in ME21N.
    Also the components that you need to provide to vendor can be maintained in the Item Details in Material data tab. Note, when the PO is printed vendor will not be able to see any prices of components provided.
    You then issue the components to your vendor using T Code ME2O or MB1B (with mvt type 541).
    You can receive the components using normal MIGO 101 route.

  • Avoid posting of Goods receipt of finished product without consumption of components in Subcontracting process

    I have one requirement:
    I provide components using movement type 541 to the subcontracting vendor.
    Now system will allow the goods receipt of the finished product using movement type 101.
    If the components which are to be consumed using movement type 543 O are unchecked when doing goods receipt of the finished product then system will allow to do the goods receipt.
    As a result of which the component consumption will not be done.
    Subsequent adjustment can be done but,
    I want to have a check that without consuming the components the system will throw an error message when tried to do goods receipt using movement 101.
    Please advice if it can be done, if so how to achieve it.

    Hi,
    It depends on what you want your subcontractor to do with the faulty raw material stock - if you want them to scrap it you can scrap stock from subcontractor stock using movement type 551 and special stock "O" (the system should prompt you to enter the vendor code). If you want it returned for you to scrap it - movement 542 to return it then scrap it from your own stock.
    You shouldn't receive an additional 20 of the finished parts - as you only received 80 not 100. Close the purchase order off to close off the balance of 20 remaining.
    Thanks

  • Cost  of finished product repetitive manufacturing

    Hi,
    My clients produces 5 different finshed products always. I want to map the scenario in Repetitive manufacturing.
    Is it possible in REM to get the actual cost of production of 5 products separately?? fir example can i get cost of finished product 1 as Rs200, in the month of Jan2009 for 10 quantity, cost of finished product 2 in the month of Jan2009 for 5 quantity etc etc .
    Regards.

    Thanks to all for their valuable inputs.
    Dear Mangalraj: Its really a challenge for me to decide whether to go for REM or not. The reason why I am not going for discrete is :
    1. Client doesnt know how much of ( for example) fertilizers it issues for finished 1 or finished 2 . client says he  knows that in a month how much he has used  for example 100 kg of fertilizers in total, not on basis of finished goods. So, i think i will have problem during BOM creation and goods issue in particular.
    2. Since finished products are rose plants, jasmine plants etc, client says i dont how much to do Goods reciept. few plants may still be not ready to be able to do goods reciept.Client says its very difficult for me to count flower plants everyday and then say out of 1000, 10 are ready to be done Goods reciept and 15 are dead so these should be scrapped etc.
    These are the resons why i thought it to map to REM. But client also wants to know price of each plant , means whats the price of rose plant(per plant), price of jasmine plant( per plant).
    Request you all to throw some light on this..
    Regards.

  • Change the configurable material set against a ERP finished product

    One of our users has entered the wrong configurable material against a finished product in MARC-STDPD. Is it possible to change this?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Pherasath,
    I'm not sure how changing the material type will help. What would I change it to and why? I need the material to be a ERP finished product?
    I too have noticed the OSS note but wasn't totally sure that it applied to the issue we specifically have, do you think it does?

  • Changing assignment of cost elements to cost components

    Hello,
    I want to assign a cost component to another cost element. Message no. KQ312 Maintenance after deactivating 10 makes cost estimates incomparable appears.
    After the change, isn't it possible to compare the cost estimate anymore at all or just the changed cost components?
    Regards, Jan

    If you change the cost element grouping in your cost component - the standars SAP gives the message that previous cost estimate cost component will not be comparable.. It has got logic because once you do the Actvity price calculation system stores the value as per cost component strcuture in KEPH table . The 40 cost feils in KEPH get dynamically linked as per your cost component.
    So if you want to change it  , you can change it but makesure you run the KSPI again . If you are moving your existing cost element to another group , the previous saves cost component will not display correctly , although all the future cost estimate will show you as per revised strcuture.
    If you not bother about previous cost compoent display then you can change it.

  • Average Costs of the Finished Products

    Hi,
    We are using the process order concept and we are calculating the costs of each FG seperately and our finished products are different kind of sizes and types.
    And the requirement here is that if we want to calculate the average cost of the two FG how we can do this ?
    For Example
    Product 1 is manufactured and the arrived cost is $ 30
    Porduct 2 is manufactured and the arrived cost is $ 10
    And if we use the ratios of 60 and 40 and we determine the avergae cost of (3060%+1040%)/100= $ 22
    And we adjust this $ 22 with Product cost of A and Product B.

    What is FG?

  • Production order costing issue in MTO with variant configuration

    We have an urgent issue to be resolved in production order costing in MTO scenario.
    We have two level configuration with configuration passed from parent to children. The parent has many configurable materials as child(semi finished BOM items) and BOM items of these child has again different raw materials(3 level BOM with last  level being all raw materials) . The production order for parent  created with reference to sales order.
    While costing production order of parent, total planned  price is displayed as zero as we have maintained price control std price for all configurable materials(parent & child) with zero price being configurable materials.Configurations are correct in production order material and BOM components(configurable materials). BOM item selections, Item quanties are also correct.
    Sales order costing is working fine and rolled-up correctly as per costing settings. We have looked at costing configuration for production order and did not find anything unusual.
    Kindly suggest possible reasons for not showing costing result in production order as per configuration copied from sales order  or any possible configuration or master data likely missing ?
    Thanks in advance.
    Kind Regards

    Dear  GANESHAN KALEMB,
                           Kindly open production order in change mode and reschedule order, cost order, check material availability and check capacity availability.
    after doing this in main menu goto  > log > overview > see error list if there is any, let me know, your problem can be solved.

  • Revaluate Finish product GI

    Hi,
    We have Production order with settlement rule as follow:
    Sender:production Order
    reciever : material (Finish product)
    Type:Full
    and also we assign this Finish product to network and during month posting GI of following material to related network,when I make settle in current period according to settlement rule I expected  that production cost  transferred to material price but after settle only balance of order was zero and material price did not change,
    I have a doubt why material price did not change and  how actual price of Finish product will  transfer to network  that I assign this material ,
    with tracking project actual cost via CJI3 ,finish product price is standard price of previous period and because of at the first period we considering standard price of finish product  as 1 $ therefore all unit price of finish product in project is 1 and I dont have actual cost of project .
    The worst side of my problem is that because of business problem I could not settle production orders for 3 month and during following periods all  GI posting  with unit price 1 $ and  we dont have actual price in network,
    How I can revaluate all GI of previous periods to have real cost of project up to know?
    It would be my pleasure if you help me as soon as possible,
    Regards,
    Azam

    Hi
    1. GI revaluation is ruled out w/o Material Ledger in place, as said above.... However, I wont recommend Price Control V for SFG/FG either
    2. In a similar scenario, what I have seen a possble workaround is this
    a. The scenario was project driven MTO... .i.e. Production order was tagged to WBS element.. This scenario is called Production Lot scenario in SAP
    b. Each time you create a Production order, you create a project 1st and then create the Prod order...
    c. The Price control of the material was kept as V
    d. No partial GR was done from Prod order as a matter of policy to avoid unfav situations
    e. After GR, the prod order was settled so that any variance would be inventorized.... Even if not settled, and the stock is consumed, the variance will be booked on the WBS element... It wont tamper the entire FG valuation
    However, this workaround might not help you because you wish to revaluate the GI, which is not possible w/o ML

  • Offseting entry to inven posting for finished product in sub  contracting

    When we post goods receipt in subcontracting inventory account is debited with finished product.What is the account name to which offsetting entry is made & how to configure this in automatic account determination.
    1) Same question was already asked and moved to T&P form.
    2) Basic question.
    3) Points will be unassigned.
    Edited by: Csaba Szommer on Apr 16, 2011 7:58 AM

    Hi,
    If Material has Price Control as "V" (MAP)
    (BSX) Stock A/c of Assembly - Dr
    (BSV) Change in Subcon Stock - Cr
    (FRL) Subcontracting Charges - Dr
    (WRX) GR/IR Clearing A/c - Cr
    (BSX) Stock A/c of Components - Cr
    (GBB-VBO) Consumption A/c of Components - Dr
    If Material has Price Control as "S" (Std. Price)
    If Material is having Price Control as "S" then Price Difference A/c will also in picture.
    This depends on configuration; SPRO > MM > Inventory Management and Physical Inventory > Goods Receipt > Price Differences for Subcontract Orders at Goods Receipt
    Price Differences for Subcontract Orders at Goods Receipt
    In this step, you configure for each valuation area whether price differences are generated for a Subcontract order at the time of a goods receipt if the manufactured material is managed at standard price and the standard price varies from the receipt value (externally performed service + value of components + delivery costs).
    Example
    Finished product: $400 (value at standard price)
    Subcontract order:
    o Ext. service : $250
    o Components : $100
    Posting schema without price differences:
    Stock account FERT : 400 +
    Stock change : 400 -
    GR/IR clearing acct : 250 -
    External service acct : 250 +
    Compon. stock account : 100 -
    Consumption account : 100 +
    Posting schema with price differences:
    Stock account FERT : 400 +
    Stock change : 350 -
    Price difference : 50 -
    GR/IR clearing acct : 250 -
    External service acct : 250 +
    Compon. stock account : 100 -
    Consumption account : 100 +
    And cost center is mandatory for subcontracting process
    the accounts for the BSX FRL and GBB-VOB needs the cost elements
    Thanks
