CK40N

Hello Gurus-
I have a question in regards to CK40N. In our standard procedure we update freight percentages and then do a mass cost roll. The system then picks up these percentages and updates all the materials. But lets say we have not made any purchases this year, and still have some materials in stock which were purchased two years ago. In this situation also during the mass cost roll the system updates with new freight percentages which is a problem as auditors are coming back to us saying we cannot do that. If we havenu2019t purchased anything this year, the freight percentages shouldnu2019t be updated. Also, we have a custom program which checks for the last invoice price. This way we can get a list of all the materials that we did not purchase this year. But, we might end up with a list of some 60 u2013 90K materials which might not have a purchase price this year and during our mass cost roll these materials should not up updated with freight. Is there a possibility that these materials be excluded in the selection criteria during the mass cost roll using ck40n? would the system allow to exclude these many material numbers (60-90k)?
Does any other company has an issue like this and if so how are they dealing?
Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
RNarayan

Hi Vijay-
Yeah, that is the problem. We use standard price for raw materials. Now we are in a situation where we cannot change the price control from standard to moving average. We have maintained origin groups which are maintained in the material master. And maybe once a year we change the freight percentages which are linked to origin groups in costing sheet. So, every time we do a cost roll all the materials get updated with new freight percentages and auditors have been haunting us on that. If there is no purchase done this year, and if there are purchases made in earlier years according them is they should not be valued at current freight percentages (which is a valid point), but how to handle in SAP is an issue. Also, if I have like 100 units in stock and 50 were purchased in 2006 and another 50 are purchased in 2007, another problem is both the years they have different freight percentages and should be valued differently...which I donu2019t have a clue how to segregate.
Also, when you said you use MAP for raw materials how does it handle freight? I mean, can you help me understand the process.
Thanks for you input.

  • At the time of CK40N what ever marked material few material not release

    Hi

    Dear Kumar
    Normally this happens when at the time of release any master data maintenance is going on or some times any material movement is going on. So you can try to release again I hope it will be done.

  • How to ignore the material with error in costing run ck40n

    Hi
    Pls, advice how to ignore parent material form costing run if the components of that material have errors. I need to run the costing run excluding erroneous parent item. Is any configuration on this..
    Pls help..

    Hi Kesharika Goona... 
    If you want to exclude any material from Costing Run, there are two ways...
    1. Go to Material Master, Costing1 view, take the check box "Do Not Cost". If you opt for this check box, the system will not consider this material for costing.
    2. Where you run the standard cost estimate in CK40N, once you save you costing run with the parameters like Costing Variant etc, When you select the "Parameters" agains the Flow step of "Selection", you will be asked to give the inputs like Material Number, Plant etc.
    There, against the Material Number, on the extrem right side, you will see a arrow, press that arrow, and there you can see a tab "Exclude Single Values". There you have to give the material number which you want to exclude from the costing run press "Execute" icon on the botoom-left corner of that pop-up window..
    If you still face problem, pls revert back

  • Cost Estimates taking raw material in CK40N

    Dear Experts,
                 We are running Costing run using CK40n by selecting site & article
    type:ZMTG. (Only Finished Product)
    But Standard cost is displaying for ROH/VERP in CK13n/MM43.
    We only want to carry out std cost run for only ZMTG article.
    In Costing varinat Priority is set for "Valuation Price according to price control" so the value give is correct. But the standard price field is getting updated in material master for Raw Material.
    I want to know usually whether it used to take like this, if not where i need to make changes so that it should not take while costing the finished product.
    Please reply asap.

    Dear Abhisek,
    It does not matter if the standard field updates with cost estimate, coz it does not effect financial results at all, reason behind the price control which is moving average  for RAW materials.
    Secodndly, it is helpful for you to find out the price of material when cost estimate was exucuted, coz it will not change until your further cost estimate run.
    Raw Materials are part of BOM, so system always calculate their prices to reach at price of finish product, but system does not post any price change document for raw materials.
    Further u can confirm using tcode CKMPCD

  • Parallel processing in ck40n

    Hi All,
    We are trying to use parallel processing option in ck40n to reduce time of costing run.
    But, I am not quite sure what to input for the "Maximum No. of Servers/Modes" while selecting variant for costing.
    Is it application servers or number of WPs which we desire to allocate to the costing run.
    For what ever value I give, I am getting a dump.

    It is best to coordinmate with your BASIS team on this. You do not want to run this on all processors and that will cause problems with other jobs. We schedule it on 8 processors at a time; and we split our jobs into 10 jobs (to cost 7.5m materials).

    2. This transaction code does not have variant creation option without which we are not able to send emaill - job completion status along with job output.
    Please suggest how to handle this requirement using standard process option, if possible OR any alternative solution.

  • Non Valuated Material- CK40N issue

    Dear Friends,
    I have a question of unvaluated materials and settings with Product Costing. Ordinarily, these materials do not have an accounting view however, we have had an issue, where these materials are giving us errors when doing a CK40N. The way we have got over this is to create the Costing views and flag the 'no costing' checkbox.
    From your experience what other settings can be made to deal with non-valuated materials.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Rk

    Hi,
    Assuming the non-valuated material is part of a BOM, and the item category not L, you can set the item in the BOM to "Not relevant to costing", on the tab 'Status/Lng text'.

    Mark

  • CK40N - Still open even after applying the note

    Hello Everyone!
    Greetings!
    Experiencing issues in the costing run. SAP ECC 5.0
    After the marking job completion observed that there are some u2018Still Openu2019 items. After some research found the SAP notes u2013 0000542790, 0001321242 & 0001402978.
    SAP note 0000542790 is not applicable to us as the client is on SAP ECC 5.0. For the short term fix, as per the note 542790 have executed the command u2018=cksuu2019. It worked.
    To apply the notes 0001321242, 0001402978 was testing in the test systems and I still see the u2018STILL OPENu2019 items even after implementing the SAP notes 0001321242 and 0001402978. Both the notes have been sucessfully implemented and also verified the corrections.
    Any suggestions/advice, please. Thanks in advance !
    Satish

    Hi Satish,
    There can be valid reasons for the 'still open' Materials.
    The following are reasons for 'still open'
    1. the materials were included in another costing run so there was an
    overlap in released cost estimates
    2. there was already a released cost estimate for those materials so
    the system did not allow for another one - this could have been costed
    manually and released manually (ck11) rather than in ck40n
    3. there was a stop in the job that ran to release them (you mentioned
    periods were closed). After the restart, some of the statistics could
    have been incorrectly updated.
    Furthermore, please see the note:
    542790     Inconsistency correction: Costing run statistics
    If need need to find the 'still open' Materials.
    If you run tCode 'SE16' and view the table table KALM which contains
    the entries for all materials costed within the costing run.
    Field 'KALM-FEH_STATUS is the cost estimate's status after step costing.
    1) Find cost estimates created originally within cstg run
    So, you have to select all entries of KALM for the specific costing
    run which are having KALM-FEH_STATUS = 'KA'.
    This is the number of cost estimates which should have been marked in
    the later marking step.
    2) Find cost estimates released successfully
    The set of released cost estimates is given by selection of table
    KEKO: specify KALAID and KALADAT and FEH_STA = 'FR'.
    3) Find missing cost estimates
    Compare the results of 1) and 2):
    Which material/plant have an KALM entry, but not a released cost
    cost estimate ?
      > this will be the set of cost estimates you are looking for...

  • Can we run CK40N for the past month?

    Hi All,
    One of our users forgot to do the cost estimate for the month of May, that's why when he run CK40N (June 1), the prices went to future price, (i think because our MM is still May). I have some few questions and hoping for your positive feedback.
    1.) If we open the June period, will the future price became present price? or we need to run again CK40N?
    2.) Can we run CK40N for the past month of May? Reason is, we would like to capture the prices of Material last May.
    Please advise.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi Tina,
    CK40N Meant for creatting cost estimates for the product and estimation is some wht which you create for future or current period. It is not possible to run ck40n for the past period.
    Now since you said that period june is not opened in MM. you can not release the price i.e.ck40n for june. check the details fo costing dates you have put in the dates parameters in ck40n. If you have run ck40n for june  then after marking the price system will set the price as a future price and same prices become the current price once you release the price. So if  you r executing ck40n  for june and june is not opened , you can not release the price. First u open the period june then execute the release functionality future price would automatically become the current price for  JUNE.

  • At the time of cost run CK40N, cost relese in previous month.

    Hi,
    At the time of cost run CK40N, executing today or previous (05.04.2010). But Cost release in previouse month 31.03.2010.
    I tried but system not allowing and saving the varient in previous period(31.03.2010).
    Please provide solution and little biturgent.If any clarifiaction ask i will explain in detail.

    Hi Sreekanth,
    We also faced the same issue with CK40N costing in previous month. What happened is that during testing in quality the new month started and the system is not allowing back date release. So we have to now open and close periods in MMPV and OB52 which is not possible because MM postings are pending. So the new costing release has to be carried after opening and closing of periods.

    Hi All,
    Although this reply is too late for the original post, might be useful for future reference.
    CK40N will not be released in advance for the next posting period. E.g. If I am releasing my cost estimate on 29th July 2014 for August 2014, that will fall back to error message “Of 0 materials, 0 cost estimates were updated successfully Message no. CK705”
    Further even though you try to release individual cost estimate vide CK24, that would fall
    back to same message of posting period.
    This is mainly controlled by system / server date than MMPV and OB52 posting periods. For a
    change I set back MM posting period ( table MARV) to next month and FI posting
    period ( Table T001B ) to next month, still got the same message CK705 as
    mentioned above.
    I would conclude that in order to have adequate MBEW ( material price table) table control, this
    posting period logic has been hardcoded.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards
    Sushil
