CO Substituion for Production order variance settlement

Hi,
In make to order production, Our client requirement was not to settle variances to sales order but directly to COPA.
We cannot use variance categories in settlement profile/PA transfer structure as we have transfer pricing setup and direct settlement of variances categories to COPA updates only legal view of COPA and not profit center view of COPA.
Therefore variance GL account was created as cost element in our case.
Now that client wants to settle variances to sales order for certain plants and directly to COPA in certain plants.
Therefore i tried with a CO substitution to clear sales order assignment for the variance GL and then in OKB9 i have set up PSG as default account assignment.
Now when i run the settlement, in debug mode i am able to see that the substitution works and clears the sales order assignment, but when i see the FI document posted, it still has SO assignment. No COPA document is triggered and a controlling document on sales order is posted.
Why does substitution not work for variance settlement in case of MTO process.

Hi Ajay,
I used user exit OKC9 as suggested in SAP note 183250 (last paragraph) and SAP note 105024.
With the user exit, we have cleared the Sales order information and also called OKB9 as per the note 105024.
Now the settlement document is generated without Sales order assignment. A PSG is generated but no cost based COPA document. We also use account based copa. In controlling document, i can see PSG is updated as cost object against the variance GL.
Why does not Cost based COPA automatically generated.
We have FI settlement profile properly maintained. With a manual posting to this GL, i can see cost based copa document.
Accounting document before changes to user exit has following object
Dt 40600 Change in Stock, Prd Order
Ct 44760 Production Variance, Sales Order
Accounting document after changes to user exit has following objects
Dt 40600 Change in Stock, Prd Order
Ct 44760 Production Variance, Material & PSG
In the user exit, i have cleared the material from COBL, still it appears in the posting
Regards
Raghu

Variance calculation for production order with settlement receiver as SDI

Hi...
I have one query reference to Variance calculation for production order with settlement receiver as SDI(Sales document item).
I am working on Varaint configuration with strategy 25(Make-to-order for configurable material) with requirement class 046.
I have created sales order ref. to configurable material,subsequently created planned order & then converted to production order.
In production order settlement receiver is SDI(Sales document item).
While doing production confirmation ,variance has been created.
Now during variance calculation KKS2, I have got error message as no suitable settlement rule found for object Order no.
Is there any way to come out of this?Or variance calculation KKS2 is not applicable with settlement receiver as SDI(Sales document item).
Pl. guide

Hi
In case of non valuated material, concept of variance does not apply...
Variance is Actual Cost - Cost of Goods receipt posted in stock.. If the later value is zero, your entire actual cost is variance... That is one way of saying it
But, in SAP, var not calculated in case of non valuated material and that makes sense as well.. Since you are in MTO scenario, it would make sense to analyse costs vs revenues @ sale order level as each SO will be unique in itself

Production order variance settlement to cost centers/internal order

Hi,
I am looking to configure the settlement of production order variances to cost centers/internal order. Is there a way to do this in the settlement profile. Would appreciate your help.
Thank you,
Ram

OKO7 will allow you to configure the Settlement Profile by selecting valid receivers.
This should be done with/or by FICO.
Then test, test, test

Production Order Variance settling to GL Account

Hi SAP Gurus,
when we settle the Production Order Varainces, system posts them to FI - Price Difference Account and also settle to COPA.
I could not find the settings that will prompt the variances to flow to FI-Price difference account
Could any one tell me where is the setting for this??
Points will be awarded suitably
Best Regards
Surya

Hi,
First of all you would have maintained the Cost Element for the same GL as Cost Element Category 1.
Now you can go to OBYC - Automatic Account Assignment.
In PRD Key - General Modification will PRA and this GL will be assigned to PRA key.
So Whenever price diff will occur, such GL will be reflected.
The main notable Point:
Now go to GBB Key. U will find the GL for variance against AUA Key. So whenever variance calculation will be done, such GL will be reflected.
This is all about the Fetching of GL Account as variance
Now we are coming to COPA Side
As we have created Cost Element for the same GL. Now we will assign this cost element in COPA Transfer Structure
T Code is KEI1. Now you will find the Transfer Structure. Now select the relevant and see the source fields and Value fields asssigned to Cost Element. So COPA will take the effect of Variance from here.
I hope you understood the flow.
Hope to be rewarded

Jigar

Production order Variance Settlement

Hi,
Can anybody tell, what configuration settings will have to be made to settle variances in production order
to sales order in COPA?
Regards
Milind Nair

1. TA : OKOA.
2. CHOOSE : SETTLEMENT PROFILE
3. SELECT SETTLEMENT PROFILE,   "PP01" FOR EXAMPLE.
4. SET ON : VARIANCES TO COSTING BASED PA.
5. SELECT PA TRANSFER STRUCTURE (BEFORE THAT YOU MUST HAVE CREATED PA TRANSFER STRUCTURE)
YOU CAN CREATE PA TRASFER STREUCTURE BY TA : OKOA
A . CHOOSE: PA TRANSFER STRUCTURE .
B. CREATE PA TRANSFER STRUCTURE. FOR EXAMPLE :
    A1- Settle production variances
C. ENTER ASSIGNMENT LINES: FOR EXAMPLE :
10     Input price variance
20     Input quantity variance
30     Resource-usage variance
40     Remaining input variance
D. FOR EACH LINE ASSIGN SOCURCE (COST ELEMENT + VARIANCE CATEGORY , f.example.) AND VALUED FILEDS.

Production order variance settlement( Ko88)

Hi All
I belive, this will be the account entery when we do production order settlement
Dr :PRD a/c (production variance account)
Cr: GBB-AUA or AUF( Inventory a/c in)
We are not implementing material ledger.
My question is
what is the best practice "whether to use AUA or AUF" If we are not using materail ledger?
For me it makes sense to use AUF .
Please advise me
Thanks in advance

You don't have a choice.

Production Order Variance Settlement to COPA

Hi gurus,
Do i have to create the cost element for the settlement of production orders to COPA ?
When i have a negative variance i can settle correct with the cost element created.
When i have a positive variance i can not settle with the cost element created. The system ask to update the PA transfer structure with the cost element.
What do i need to do, create or not the cost element ?
Regards

Hi,
Did you run KKS1/KKS2 before settlement? If you have only execute the settlement, variances will usually not calculated automatically.

Ronny

Production order variance in PCA

Hi All,
Production order variances In PCA both entries are posted PRD and AUA, it is netting off and Profit center balance is zero.
when i analyze PCA,my product line profit center is showing 0(Zero) balance for production order variance entry.
we want to upload PCA balances to consolidation systems(Hyperion)by profit center totals.in this case all my variances are zero.how can i analyze this entries in PCA and Hyperion.?please help me.
Thanks,
Anusha

Dear Anusha,
Both the accounts in the accounting document for settlement of variances, nullify each other in Finance. The variances are only for information and analysis for controlling variances. Hence, you need to take both the accounts in your consolidation.
Trust this helps much and if so, pl assign rewards!

Production order variances

Hi All,
I am not able to see any value for Production order variances in PA report (T-code KE30).
Why it is showing 0 value for PO variances in PA report?
Thanks in advance

you have to create pa transfer stacture that u have to assign to
setelement profile that u have to assign to order types
in pa transfer stacture u have to assign production verieance to
co-pa value fields the above things u have to do configration and
u have to settele the production order then u will get verieance in

How to settle the production order variance to 3 GL account

dear all
i met a problem in the project ,the customer need see the production order variance category detail for (material,routine,overhead variance) in FI report ,so it need to settle the variance to at least 3 GL account
i don't know how to configure it ,i try to use result analyse like wip ,but go failed
do you have some suggestion
thank you

Hi ,
Through Standard SAP .. the same it not possible . Standard SAP will post the differences to one GL account ..The variance amount is not segregated..
The way out is to use report KKO0 .( Product Costing Drill Down Reports ) in CO . There are many reports available .. and you can compute the difference in CO Reports and manually make an entry in FI by manually reversing the original variance account and posting it to cost component wise variance accounts ..
To use the KKO0 report.. please perform the following tasks :-
1. Assign cost component structure in transaction OKN0 ( Date Extraction/Product Drill Down) tab.
2. Product Group Type = Material group..
3. Run KKRV after period end every month to collect the data for drill down reporting..
Please revert back for any further clarifications

Periodic cost settlement for production order

Hello All,
Please explain me can we do Periodic cost settlement for production order in discrete manufacturing. If yes, how?
Thanks & Regards,
Alok Tiwari

WIP entry gets passed to accounts if the order is not in DLV or TECO status.
or else variance gets calculated.
Two GLs which gets hit are
Change in stock a/c Dr.
To Inventory Price Difference a/c Cr. or vice versa......

Variances for the Previous Period- Production Order Variances

Dear All
I am not able to settle the variances of Previous Period in Ko88.
The following steps I have done for the settling the variances
1. KKS2- Production Order
2. Ko88- Settlement of Variances
If i settle the variances production order variances it is increase the stock and in the increase in the profit and loss account
I need a suggestion there should not be any impact on the either in the profit and loss account and stock
Please advise me
Regards
Ramesh

Dear Vimal
I would like to explain further more on this area.
1. For V Material Item - When there is no stock it will be posted to Profit and Loss account
2. For V Material Item- When there is a stock it will be posted to Balance sheet acccount- My question whether it can be posted to Profit and Loss account. When there is a stock - What is the procedure to be followed.
In further to that Settlement can be done only if the order is completed. settlement cannot be done if the order is not completed.
I need to understand
1. Whether V Material item available stock can be posted to Profit and Loss account.
2. Whether this is based on Order completion.
Thanks for your reply.

Ramesh

Variance calculation for production order

Hello,
I am clarifying what's the selection criteria for settled production orders so that we can carry out the following
close and deletion flag activities.
I am currently in release ECC605. Need to carify the below questions.
1. For production order without header material (dismantle production order), no need to do variance calculation before
settlement,right? Because I found system will respond green light but "no order was processed", this kind of production order
won't possess "VCAL variance calcaulted" system status.
2. For all production orders created with header material, vairance calculation is a must, even the variance is 0.
So the production orders will possess "VCAL" status after variance calculation transaction is done.
Thanks for your help in advance.
B. Regards,
Nancy

How does input variance and output varia.nce will be calculated on the settlement of production order after TECO.
VARIANCE CALCULATION DEPENDS ON CONFIGURATION IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS,
1) VARIANCE VARIANT - DETERMINES WHAT VAREIANCE CATEGORIES ARE CALCULATED, E.G MATERIAL PRICE , USAGE, LABOUR RATE , USAGE VARIANCE ETC..
2) TARGET COST VERSIONS
3) VALUATION VARIANT FOR WIP AND SCRAP
Can we check in KOB3 or COOIS.
KOB3 - YES
COOIS - CHECK IN COST REPORT

Error while calculating variances for production order

Hi Gurus,
while calculating variances for production order i am getting the following error
"Cannot calculate scrap variances" ( Error message)
" no standard value estimate for material" (Warning message"
A standard cost estimate exists for the material at the date mentioned in the error in released status.
Please give solution for the error.
Thanks in advance n Regards
Arul.

Is there an itemization, generated for the cost estimate used to calculate the target costs?
Does the material components listed in the BOM of the cost estimate used to calculate the target costs, assigned to the operations in which they are used. Otherwise it is not possible to correctly report the variances and scrap when operations are confirmed.
Does the order for which the variances are calculated have a valid variance key. ?
Does the order have the status DLV (delivered) or TECO (technically completed). If the status was withdrawn, any variances and scrap variances are canceled.

GR for Production order not possible with settlement receiver as IO

Hi
I have created a production order and the settlement rule is to an internal order. But it does not allow me to do goods receipt. Pl tell me what to do.
Thanks
kamala

Hi,
SAP recommands production order settlment to be beow object and additional CO Object COPA.
Settlement Receivers Depending on the Scenario
1.Make-to-stock production >>The make-to-stock inventory (receiver = material) >> COPA
2.Sales-order-related production with a valuated sales order stock>>The valuated sales order stock (receiver = material)>>COPA
3. Sales-order-related production with a nonvaluated sales order stock>>The sales order item (receiver = sales order)>>COPA
The scenario you are trying is doesn't fit into standard SAP framework for production order so please try said scenario with CO production order. Again CO production orders mostly recommondable without PP so figure out impact on cross modules.
Regards,Ashok.
