CJ9L, calculation of cost forecast plan

Hi,
Prerequisites: Plan work 260 hours. Constraints on start and finish date. Distribution rule is equal to distribution according to factory calender. For scenario 2) actual work is 100 hours. Remaining work is 160 hours. Duration of activity is 1 year.
Scenario 1) When calculating project cost forecast without any actual cost from time reporting, the cost forecast is distributed over the remaining duration of the activity.
Scenario 2) When calculating project cost forecast with actual cost from time reporting, the cost forecast is planned on the same period as the forecast report is run. We would like this to be done in the same way as in scenario 1 above and distributed according to the factory calendar and not have all of the remaining cost on the last period of the activity.
If someone out there has experience of this issue, we appeciate your advice.
Best Regards ,
Ioannis

Hi Ioannis,
Please see the online document
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/c2/1ad778462611d2b4310060
94b9c9be/content.htm
to see how the internal-processed activity should work in CJ9L.
I do think, the described scenario 2 do not work in that way because the factors you described. As far as I remember, the following factors are relevant for such case.
1. If the activity is paritally confirmed. What are the actual finish and forecast finish (or remaining duration).
2. Is the forecast work maintained.
3. What is the key date of CJ9L.
Generally there is no logic just to put the remaining costs in the last period, but it can happend that based on the factors above, which uses the last period as remaining time frame.
Kind regards,
Zhenbo

Cost center planning for overhead calculation

Gurus,
I have a doubt regarding the cost center planning for overhead calculation.
My scenario is:
There is a service cost center from which a certain percentage I want to allocate to the products as overhead. Now while doing so I have created a cost center and a cost element of type 43 (internal activity allocation). This cost element is the base for overhead calculation. Also I have created one cost element of type 41 (overhead rates). I have defined the credit (of cost sheet) with the cost element of type 41 and the cost center as mentioned.
Now I am facing a problem while planning the cost center with cost element type 43 through KP06.The system is throwing the error message: 'Cost element xxxx can only be used for activity input'. My understanding is we must carry out the planning for the cost center to allocate a certain percentage to the product cost estimate. If I am not allowed to use the cost element of type 43 to plan, what should I use for the planning?
Request your suggestion.
Thanks in advance!
Snigdho.

Hi
Since you mentioned catg 43 cost element, I thought you are using Activuty Type
To apply overhead on the product during CK11N, you need not plan any value on the cost center... The values planned in the cost center can not be used as a BASE in your costing sheet....
It goes like this
1. Your cost estimate has BOM + Routing
2. So, the cost elements that you would see during CK11N, can be broadly classified into 3 types
a. Primary cost ele - Material Consumption accounts for BOM components
b. Secondary cost ele (Catg 43) - If you use any actvity type in the routing
c. Secondary cost ele (Catg 41) - These cost elements are parasites... They need some basis to calculate the overhead value... That basis can be either the (a) or (b) above.....
I think, what you are planning to do is Plan Primary cost ele in a cost center and trying to use the same as the Basis.. That wont work!
What you need to do is
a. PLan the values in the cost center, say, 100,000 USD
b. Absorb it on the basis of 2.a or 2.b
If 2.b is not applicable in your case, since you are not using activity types, then 2.a is the Only option left for you
Hope it is clear....

All,
I have a CO 'Cost Forecast' version in a development client. It is only flagged for 'Plan'.
It has been used for project forecasting (cj9l).

Appreciate your help.

SAP - Cost Center Planning - Version 1

Dear All
Recently we have started to use the cost center planning through KP16 under plan version -1
However we are unable to down the plan data in excel with a cost center break up through KSBP report.
We are not using any special ledger
System is showing the following error
No plan cost line items recorded.
Message no. KB419
Diagnosis
No planned costs line items are written to controlling area DXES in version 1 of fiscal year 2009.
System Response
The report cannot be executed.
Procedure
Check your selection criteria or activate the line item update function.
Note
The line item update function is controlled depending on the application:
Cost center planning
Here you can define the update for each version and fiscal year. You can maintain the corresponding indicator (integrated planning) in the version maintenance (settings for the fiscal year).
This indicator you can either
set manually when creating a version or
set later via the menu sequence "Planning -> Planning aids -> Integration active".
Regards
Anilkumar

Hi,
The impact is that the planning is stored also as line items and the planning is integrated between the CO-PCA components. In SAP words:
- All available plan records for controlling area/version/fiscal year are posted as line items. The R/3 System posts these line items to the AC interface.
- Any existing line items in the plan allocation transactions (plan assesment, distribution, or accrual calculation) are posted to the AC interface as well and made available to other components.

Sales Pricing without Inquiry using detailed Cost element Planning

Deal All,
I need to use use Sales Pricing without Customer Inquiry to Genrate Quatation from Project.
In my project client is asking to use deatiles cost element planning for same. So, let me know
Weather its possible to use Detailed cost element planning for doing Sales pricing in DP82
or Do we need to use ECP only to do Sales Pricing??
Also, let me know if there will be any change in RA method also.
regards,
Atul

Hi Atul,
You can use any of the cost planning method (i.e Details cost element planning, ECP or Network Costing) to create Quotation using DIP Profile.
Coming to the second point..any effect on RA calculation..This Quotation creation process is no where effects RA calculation.
basically for creating Quotation usign DIP Profile, there should be cost element wise planned cost required.
Hope this clears you...
regards,
Hari.

Cost forecast and project stock

Dear all,
in our setup, we are using non valuated project stock. However, the 1st project to buy a component has to pay for it. Therefore, we activated the "Planification" flag in the network type (OPSC).
As a consequence, planned costs from network orders append the WBS element planned costs but not the assigned values.
We would like now to use cost forecast. It means we have to assign values which is exactly what we disabled by our previous config.
We are looking for a way to raise assigned values and roll up planned costs for project stock materials.
I tried to have a look in the Item Category setup but so far, I did not find anything.
Would anyone have an idea?
Thanks,
Thibault

Hi
thank you for your reply.
OPUV and OPSV are already configured as per your details.
However, we needed to tick the "Planification" in OPSC in order to have planned cost for Project Stock materials.
We are using non valuated project stock and it's the only way we found to roll up planned costs for those materials...

Calculated Std cost est vs Material Master Std cost price

Hi all,
Why will a calculated std cost est not be equal to my standard price in my costing 2 view on the material master? For ex:
I calc a price for material 1 = R11.50
The price in the material master (MBEW-STPRS) is R10.80.
I can see that the difference is some activities for one of the operations in my production process, but it does not show on my material master.
Can anyone suggest a solution?
Thanks,
Hein

The planned price can be copied from CO-PC, or entered manually depending on your settings in CO. If you open the standard material cost and release it the two price of planning price and standard price will be same.
As to the price of PO that is another price, actual cost happened.
FYI.
If no marked standard cost estimate exists, you can enter a price in this field manually. This makes it possible for the system to find a price when costing an assembly via the valuation strategy, even if no standard cost estimate with status KA (correct) exists for a BOM material (such as a raw material or semifinished product).
If you subsequently create and flag a cost estimate for this material, the results of this cost estimate are adopted as the future planned price, and the manual entry overwritten. It can then no longer be changed. Therefore, you are recommended to use the Planned price 1, Planned price 2, and Planned price 3 fields to maintain the planned prices of material components and to define them in the valuation strategy.

How to accomplish Revenue and Cost forecasting in Oracle?

We are implementing Oracle Rel 11.5.10. and have a specific business requirement for Revenue and Cost Forecasting.
We have Projects integrated with OM using custom extensions (We are not using Project Manufacturing). Revenue is based on scheduled shipment dates and Cost is based on PO Promise Dates. Both Revenue and Cost are forecasted for 2 quarters and are rolled up on revenue category level. When Scheduled shipment date changes it is required to automatically forecast the revenue in the period scheduled ship date falls into. We understand that out of the box functionality does not support roll up of forecast at revenue category level which leads to displaying budgets, commitments and atuals in different lines. Has any one done this in any of there client engagements? Can anyone explain how Revenue and Cost forecasting is done in a High tech Network Equipment manufacturer which usies Projects.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Amit

Hi
My understanding is that your entire solution is based on custom proceses.
You might have a program that reads the scheduled shipment date from OM and generate budget lines for revenue.
You might have a program that reads the PO Promise date from Purchasing, and generate budget lines for costs.
You could integrate those sources and generate a new version of forecast every time you need to update your plans in Oracle Projects.

Capturing Plant & machinery Cost while planning

Please advice, how to capture plant and machinery cost while planning in PS on activity basis.

You can define your plant-machinery as 'work center' which is helping you manufacture the goods required in the project, you should use thse plant-machinery as a work center. You can define the operating rate for this plant-machinery. when you are suing this plant-machinery as work cneter in network activity, the planned costs will be calculated. Also when you post the activity confirmation, actual costs will be posted on network activity.
For detailed configuration take help of CO consultant on setting this up.

Use of forecast planning function in Integrated planning

Hai ,
Can I Know What is the use forecast planning function in Integrated planning.
Give me One Example.
Please tell What i hv to select in aggregation level, Filter, and Planning function for doing forecast.
Regards
Kishore.

Hi,
Filter is indeed used in IP similar to how planning package was used in BPS. There really is no difference 'conceptually'.
What you have seen is the different options IP offers compared to BPS regarding planning function execution. You can execute planning function directly or using a planning sequence in an application (although in planning modeler, its only a planning sequence that can be executed, for eg., for testing purpose).
If you just execute a planning function without specifying any restriction, it will operate on the entire set of planning data. Whether its a planning sequence or planning function, the data it operates on can be restricted by binding the various characteristics (or variables) using various DPs in the application. What kind of dynamic selection are you looking at?

Service Order Planned Costs and Cost Center Planned Line Items

Experts,
I am curious of Service Order Planned costs, and whether or not these planned costs are being posted to the Cost Center linked to the Service Order Operation's work center.
I am a but puzzled as I don't see any planned costs from any Service Order Operation in a cost center linked to the Operations work center, when reviewing "Cost Centers: Plan Line Items" report.
BR,
Cenk

The planned costs were input in one of the Service Order operations as planned hours. There is a column for it in the operations list. The amount of hours have incurred a planned cost on the Service Order header.
I simply assumed that this cost would be credited to the Cost Center linked to the operation's Work Center. But that is obviously not the case. I am not familiar with the PLICC field and the functionality it provides.
Thanks!
