Change Multi-Level Price Difference Process Category

Hello ML Gurus,
We have a situation
Our I2P team has certain process orders that are recursive -- header material the same as component. (These are NOT rework order types, but standard process order type PR01). In the beginning, they posted GR as process category "Receipts", and GI as process category "Consumption". This resulted in cyclical error during CKMLCP. When we cut off connections and ran, it left a huge price difference as "Not Allocated".
To circumvent this problem, I2P used a BADI to change the process category for the consumption to "Receipts". Everything was ok, until the monthend. When we do the Multi-Level Price Determination, the price difference gets posted to Consumption only, and since the original consumption is moved to "Receipts", the entire price difference is now "Not Allocated".
We think we can fix this by changing the process category for the multi-level price difference to "Receipts" also.
Is there a way to do it? Any BADI, User Exit, Enhancement -- anything?
Also, this is not a pretty design....do you have a suggestion for improving the overall process? We used to have a Product Cost Collector and post these consumption and then settle them monthly, but we lost traceability for the batches so we cannot and do not use them.
Appreciate your help.
Cheers,
TD

Hi,
Basically single level price determination calculates periodic unit price based prices differences for that material alone is considered
Multilevel price determination considers its own differences as well those of the input materials.
Hence single level price determination is a prerequisite for multilevel determination

Single level and multi level price determination

Hi,
Regarding single level and multilevel price determination, how system is arriving the figure of some portion to single level and some portion to multilevel. Can any one clarify the concept.
govind.

Hi
Find below my clarification.
Multilevel price determination calculates the periodic unit price for a material. The standard price, the single-level differences cumulated in the period, the differences between planned and actual prices, as well as input material differences (multilevel differences) are all taken into account. The material price calculated in multilevel price determination can be used for inventory valuation.
Follwing are Prerequisites\
The material ledger is active.
Actual costing is active.
The price determination indicator in the material master is set to 3.
The price control indicator in the material master is set to S.
Single-level price determination has been performed.
Following are the fartures
A level is identified by a material and its associated procurement process. Multiple levels are the result of one material being used in another material. These multiple levels are reflected in the actual BOM that is created in the costing run in the step Determine Sequence.
In multilevel production, both single-level and multilevel price differences exist. If one material is used in another material, and single-level price differences exist for the input material, this results in multilevel price differences. In this way, differences are rolled up from raw materials through semifinished products to finished products. This solves the problem of follow-up costs.
The price calculated through price determination is updated as a periodic unit price (V price) in the Accounting 1 view of the material master record The price control indicator remains set to S. The standard price does not change.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SINGLE LEVEL AND MULTI LEVEL COSTING

Sir,'
Please explain the difference between Single Level and Multi Level Costing in Detail
thanking You

While using material ledger, we can use the single level or multi-level price determination for valuation of inventory.
Procurement processes are used in Product Cost Controlling to determine procurement costs and to present those costs. Purchase Order, for example, is single-level procurement and Production is multilevel procurement.
Single-level material price determination calculates the periodic unit price for a material. The standard price and the cumulative single-level differences of the period are taken into account. Single-level material price determination takes into account the differences that arise directly when a material is procured.
Multilevel price determination calculates the periodic unit price for a material. The standard price, the single-level differences cumulated in the period, the differences between planned and actual prices, as well as input material differences (multilevel differences) are all taken into account.
Single-level material price determination is a prerequisite for Multi-level price determination.

Price difference-when process change

Hi,
Presently in costing sheet there are two continuous processes, both are considered as SFG (semi finished goods). The SFG 1 material in first process is the BOM part of the second process SFG 3 material. Both process has different cost centres, overheads and cost elements.
Now the second process of SFG material takes more than 9 months. So want to show this WIP under maturation stock, as separate stock under new SFG 2 material, with some value addition (considered as activity). This new process related SFG 2 material BOM will contains the first process SFG 1 material. And this new SFG 2 material code will be the part of BOM of the last process SFG 3 material.
Now there are 2 issues we are facing.
1st query:
In quality server after transporting the request from Development, Price difference account is generated while production of the 3rd Process SFG 3 material.
Production made for 1000 AL Qty (Base Qty of BOM 1000 AL and Costing lot size 1000 AL ) and in the entry we are getting the Price difference entry as shown below.
Dr. Inventory SFG3 - 105,897.43
Cr. Incr/Decr/Cons SFG 3 - 105,900.00
Cr. Price difference - 2.57
Cr. Inventory SFG2 - 94,550.00
Dr. Incr/Decr/Cons SFG2 - 94,550.00
Standard cost of SFG 3 for 1000 AL is 105,897.43 and Standard cost of SFG 2 for 1000 AL is 94,550.00
May i know why the price difference account is picked up while doing the production of existing material SFG 3, when there is no such difference in development server. And no Price difference account in Quality server before introducing the new process?

Vinu.

hi

How to change price differences account during subsequent debits only

Dear all,
Has anyone succeeded in changing the price differences account during invoice posting (MIRO) according to particular customer specifications like having it changed only in case of subsequent debit invoices (this is a current requirement which we would like to solve)? Is there any BADI which influences the price difference account determination or is there only the PRD-related setup via account-determination-customizing?
Thank you for your feedback!
Kind regards,
Klemens

They don't want to control the "PRD accounts" - they just need a solution to have different accounts available for the situation in which the usual PRD account assignment triggers. They need this because they get subsequent invoices (very late in the process) after the whole stock is already moved away and hence, the whole subsequent invoice amount would go to the price difference account; which they don't want to have.

Service Ticket multi level category

Hi
We are in the process of extending our multi level categorzation for service tickets from 3 to 4 in CRM5
But I realize that we have too many values to maintain in the code/code groups as well as category modeler and this is going to affect the response time, im talking of over 1000 values
Is there a way for me to populate this new category 4 level with values direct from sort of table? I dont want this linked to my category 1,2,3 levels
I thought that maybe theres a way for us to this instead of going EEWB and workbench route
Please advise
Thanks
Krishna

Hi Martin
Multi-Level Categorization for Interaction Record is 100% completely possible.
There is a snag however.
In the Interaction Record you only get one field to view the category.
So if you have say 3 tier category in your one field it would look like this.
Kitchen equipment (Category 1)
Cutlery (Category 2)
Knives (Category 3)
Forks (Category 3)
Entertainment Equipment (Category 1)
TV (Category 2)
Widescreen (Category 3)
Plasma (Category 3)
Hifi (Category 2)
Not so loud (Category 3)
Really loud (Category 3)
(There would be indentations between each level but is too hard to format within this interface)
It looks really naff and doesn't take long before you start running out of space.
It's fine of you have a handful of categories, but it just wasn't useful for us.
We went with Service Tickets to 3 levels. SAP Standard will allow up to 4, plus customizing you can go to 9 I think.
Each Category fits in it own field so very readible.
Hope this helps
Regards
Arden

Creating zone level price change using link codes RMS

Price difference account settlement process at period end

Hi
Is there any procedure to settle the price difffrence account (P&L Account) at the month end/year end in FI.( for the material price difference araise on purchases, subcontracting etc)
How to settle, pls provide the steps?
regards,
maalik

Hi Malik,
Let me try to answer and get full point from you.
As you are aware, the purchase price differnece happens due to the invoice price change and the stock gets issued to the production. Thereby, the produciton under charged.
In Sap, the transaction key PRD without account modifier, takes care of this accounting entry. There is no necessity to settle in year end or month end.
I suggest you to catch these expenses in Purchase Department cost center as overhead and this purchase department cost gets included in General Overhead which will be charged either through Activity pricing or Cost sheet surcharge method.
Trust it will hep you or otherwise revert!
Cheers,

Difference Between Summarized & Multi Level BOM Comparison

Hi Colleagues,
Could you please help me on this? I would like to know what is the difference between Summarized BOM & Multilevel BOM Comparison.
Currently I am using Tcode CS14 to compare the BOM but I could not find the differences. Also I am using FM CS_BOM_EXPL_MAT_V2 to explode the BOM so I would like to know the difference to write a report for this.
Thanks & Regards,
Nagaraj

Price difference in the latest invoice document and the last change to

Hi gurus,
This is regarding the price difference of the latest invoice document price with respect to the price of last time the document was invoiced.Without using the customer exit or back-end developement. need info if this can be done on the front-end using the front-end tool bex designer using the CKF, RKF , Variables or conditions etc
say for instance the user wants to get the price differences with respect to the invoices for a certain period that is from 01/01/2008 to 06/30/2008( dynamic entry can be any range).
Once the user enters the range for the billing document date as 01/01/2008 to 06/30/2008 the query should return the report as
Sold-to(customer) Material, Bill doc date and the price difference. these are the four columns the users needs in the report.
now the bill-doc date will the latest invoice date for the sold-to & material, but the price difference will be the price of the last invoice date(for the sold-to , material) - the latest invoice date price.
Example. between 01/101/2008 - 06/30/2008
customer : 2765 , material : XAWE33636FD this particular customer-product had 3 invoices on 02/15/2008 , 04/18/2008 and 06/03/2008.
price on 02/15/2008 : $1.09
price on 04/18/2008: $1.87
price on 06/03/2008: $3.84
so the report should look like
customer material bill doc date price diff
2765 XAWE33636FD 06/03/2008 3.84- 1.87( latest invoice price - last invoice price)
Thanks
appreciate responses

Hi,
I think you will need at least some backend devlopment for this first and foremost being mapping the invoice date from souce to the Bill date.
Getting price difference is not an issue as much as tracking dates. I think you will need a counter to track the last invoice date which really needs ABAP coding
An exit would be much easier to have this functionality rather than to create RKF's and CKF's
I will update you in case any better idea strikes.
Good luck

Entry is posted to price difference account if IR is processed before GR

Hi Experts,
The user is facing the following issue " whenever the Invoice Receipt is recorded before the Goods Receipt, the total amount is booked on price difference account. This is in case of inter company transactions.
Please share your thoughts
Warm regards,
Murukan Arunachalam

Hi
Please, see SAP Note 308008 - FAQ: Posting logic: GR/IR clearing account,
It says in question 1.
"Remark: Invoice receipt before goods receipt
If no goods receipt has occurred yet, the entire invoice value is posted to
the GR/IR clearing account.
GR/IR clearing value = GR value/GR quantity * IR quantity."
I hope this helps you

Landed costs and price differences

I'm trying to figure out what PS does to adjust for total value discrepancies between an invoice voucher and associated PO. Say on my PO I have a line item with quantity of 2 and unit price of $10. Therefore total value is $20. When I create a voucher, that same line item is now 2x$11 = $22. I approve that voucher for $22. Now I run the Extract Landed Cost batch process. What does this process do to "compensate" for the difference between voucher and PO? Does it change the unit price of that item in inventory from $10 to $11?

Hi, yes you are right: Using this approach ML would use price differences for other batches and increase their value instead of posting them as loss like the initial cost.
The way around that would be to post some unplanned material good receipt for the loss production order, e.g. a material called scrap. In account determination you might make sure that these materials have own stock and price difference accounts that you could treat special in your balance sheet.
This would be shown in ML like a joint production between the planned product and the scrap material and multi-level variances would be distributed using following an apportionment structure from material master.
If it is difficult to maintain a reasonable apportionment structure you might implement BADI cost_split described in note 997264.
Also a good possibility would be to use a quantity-proportional split that can be derived from the ML quantity structure.
I could provide an example implementation of that.
best regards, Udo

RE: how to explode multi level bom ?

hi sd experts,
I really appreciate if anyone explain me how explode multi level BOM
if possible pls send me best practices
thanks
regards
shabnum

Hi Shabnum,
For ex:
main material is 101(material No)
Subitems for 101 are: 102,103, 104 & 105
102 also has 2 two sub items i.e., 106 & 107
I created material masters for all the items i.e., 101 to 107 and posted stocks and maintained prices individually in VK11.
I created BOM in CS01 seperately for 101 & 102
I changed the Item Category Group for both the main items 101 & 102 from NORM to ERLA and tried creating the Sales Order.
For 101 BOM is exploding correctly in order but for 102 it is not exploding.
If I enter both the materials 101 & 102 as 2 line items then BOM is exploding for both the materials.
Then do the Config in :
Pls check the Item category configuration for your header material for the following field:
Structure Scope: whether it is A or B...A is for explode single level & B is for explode multi-level bill of material. In your case, it should be maintained as "B"
This would work for you
Reward if it helps

How to resolve price difference in case of Returning material through STO

We are receiving material from our plant A to plant B. Material is manufactured in plant A and Standard price (3 S) is maintained for this material. In plant B, 2 V is maintained for this material and no excise credit is taken here. Now when i am returning unsuitable material back to plant A, there is a price difference, due to which plant A is unable to take the credit.
Is there is any process so that same material cost is picked in sto when we are returning material to plant A
Edited by: Sunil Kalia on Sep 15, 2010 9:19 AM
Edited by: Sunil Kalia on Sep 15, 2010 9:20 AM

In manufacturing plant Sales price is maintained as Standard price in Z-table , which is material cost + manufacturing cost. On this cost material is inward to plant B. But when material is returned back, MAP is assigned in STO, which is material Cost. The issue is due to different valuation areas at plant level in the same company.
Is there is some process to link the original STO with Return STO as discount issue does not match the prices.
Regards,
Sunil
