COGM Need to be a cost element?

Hai Gurus,
In my client both the COGM and COGS are created as G/L Accounts, we activated the Costing basesd COPA.
The question is weather the COGM is to be created as a cost element in Controlling? We know that the COGS is not to be created as cost element in case of MTS(make to stock scenario) and to be created as a cost elemnt in case of MTO(make to order scenario). In MTO scenario what is the cost element category for COGS is it 11? Please confirm weathert the COGM is to be created as a cost element in both the cases ie MTO and MTS.
Thanks and Regards
Pavan Kumar

Hi,
If you want COGS as cost element better to take it as category 11 . COGM can be created as cost element with category 1.

Need to treast a cost element 90 as a cost element 1

Hi experts. I'm having some problems with CO.
The issue is that I need to generate a Cost element for a balance account and that cost element needs to be allocated as the rest using KSV5.
When I create a cost element for a balance account the system assigns the type 90 and I can not change that.
Please let me know if you know any alternatives.
Thanks!!!

I'm trying to distribute the costs that were post to the Cost element type 90.
At the moment when I run the KSV5 the system is not doing any allocations of the values that were post to a cost element type 90....
Let me know if you need more information.
Thanks a lot!!!!

Cost component structure - cost elements for FERT and HALB (TC:OKTZ)?

Hi all,
our cost component structure has the following structure (TC: OKTZ):
1 Raw materials
2 Human ressources
3 Production
4 Material Overhead
5 Production overhead
6 external activity
(this settings are conform with SAP standard - copy from cost comp. structure 01)
To cost comp 1 "raw material" we assigend the relevant (primary) cost elements (consumption raw mat, e,g, steel, wood...).
My question is: In case we insert/post e.g. a semi-finished product to the production order from stock (accor. bill of material), where (in which cost comp.) do I have to assign the relevant cost element? I guess this should be the account "inventory change unfinished product? (maintain in TC: OBYC for transaction BSV according val. class)
Is it correct to assign this cost element to cost comp structure "raw material", because actually it is a semi finished product which is picked up from stock to convert /process further? To problem is, if this cost element is not assigned I get an error in CK11N/CK40N
I hope my wording is not to abstract...
Thanks in advance...
best Regards

Hi..
You don’t need to consider the cost element of production order settlement and production notification.
Cost component structure need the cost element of production order’s debit.

Intractive alv report while adding coloums of cost element of G/L account

Hi guys,
i have a proble with interactive alv report.
i did all the things. its working fine also. now they r asking me to add some coloums
which are from COSP-KSTAR this is cost element.
i need to ristrict perticular cost element according to the company code and fiscal year.
i don't know how we can take the cost elements and how to pass them.
plz any of u help me to come out of this problem.
Thanks & Regards,
Lakshmi..

so , write a select query to table cosp in to it_cospt internal table .
where condition
WRTTP
VERSN
GJAHR .
the above should hard coded the data by asking the Function consultant like version & value type .,
then loop at your final internal table .
read table of it_cospt where gjahr = gjahr
IF final-KOSTL CA it_cospt-OBJNR . for Costcenter validate
because it stores the Costcenter only in the COSP-OBJNR , IF you check table data in BSEG and COSP , even AUFNR ( Internal order ) also to the same field . so that the cost center gets validated in the if condition , for your information if they ask you costelement then it include internal order also if you want ask question to you FI consultant about cost center and Internal order difference ***************
move all your fresh data to your new internal table your it_cospt-KSTAR data also.
append new internal table .
Elseif final-AUFNR CA it_cospt-OBJNR . for INTERNAL ORDER validate
b]move all your fresh data to your new internal table your it_cospt-KSTAR data also.
append new internal table .
ENDIF
**********like that for project id if there is any PS module integration data then .********************
so that your new internal table will have all data including cost element also .
now after this , loop you new internal table
hide technque for drilldown.

I'm using table COSP to find the quantity for a production order component. However, I need to identify the cost element first to get the unique data. In CO03 cost analysis report, there is cost element for the component. Does anyone know how to get it ?

Depreciation GL is Cost element or Not?

HI,
In Asset accounting,will we create Depreciation GL account as Cost element or normal?If we create as cost element what are the additional configuration needed.
Kindly clarify me
Thanks
Sunitha

Hi,
you only need a cost element if you want to post the depreciation also to the Controlling application CO. Then you need it to include cost centers or internal orders into the depreciation documents. If you don´t need depreciation in CO, you do not need to create these cost elements.

How to reclass WBS via secondary cost element

Hi team,
How can I reclass WBS A to WBS B via secondary cost element A1234567? For example, For CNY (LC1), I need to input certain amt, but for USD (LC2),I have to force in zero. When I do correction via manual allocation (KB15N), only USD currency is available for input.
Appreciate your feedback.
Thanks.

Hi,
In FB01 you need to use primary cost element, secondary cost element is internal to CO. In your case since that is a rectifaction and you want to eliminate the value in one currency you would need to follow the manual process. You can use same general ledger account for debit and credit with different WBS assigned so that there is no impact in FI and the values are transferred from one WBS to another.

Cost element type 90

I need information about primary cost elements with cost element type 90.
Has someone hands-on experience?
I try to use this type of cost element linked to a reconciliation (customer) accont.

Hello
Cost Element Category 90
Cost element for balance sheet accounts in Financial Accounting
Cost elements of this category are generated automatically when you create cost elements in Controlling that have asset reconciliation accounts, that is, special balance sheet accounts, as corresponding general ledger accounts in Financial Accounting.
You cannot change this cost element category in CO master data maintenance.
FI does not require CO account assignments of category 90. However, if you do enter a CO account assignment, this is only updated statistically even for true CO objects.
Cost elements of category 90 enable you to control the costs of an order or project budget during the acquisition of fixed assets that can be directly capitalized. To achieve this you enter a capital investment order or work breakdown structure (WBS) element in the appropriate field in the asset master data. The Asset Management (AM) component ensures that when the asset is acquired, the order or WBS element is automatically entered in the document.
In Controlling, orders and WBS elements are debited statistically. This statistical debit is checked with the budget during availability control.
The system does not support other uses of category 90 cost elements at present. You cannot plan using these cost elements.

Expense Cost Elements

Hi
When creating cost elements for expense accounts, do I need to create the cost elements for all the expense accounts OR eleminate cost of sales accounts and create the cost elements for the balance of the expense accounts. If so please let me know the reason
Thanks
Moderator: Don't double post and search SDN before posting

Hi
Usually COGS (OBYC - GBB-VAX) and Prod Variuance accounts (OBYC-PRD - PRF) are not created as cost elements
COGS is created as a cost ele if you are in MTO scenario with sales order as a cost object or where sales order is tagged to a WBS element or where you have account based COPA.. The COGS account in this case is assigned in OBYC - GBB-VAY and not GBB-VAX...
Barring these (GBB_VAX and PRD_PRF), all P&L accounts can be created as cost ele at a technical level... you may not create some GLs as cost ele based on your business requirement... But, Ideal is to create them as cost ele barring GBB-VAX and PRD-PRF...
Reason why you exclude them is that COGS is updated via VPRS cond type AND/OR by Cost Component Split in COPA using Costing Key
PRD-PRF is not created as cost ele because variance is updated to costing based COPA using PA transfer structure separately..

Which user exit allows to get cost element derivation in CO-PA after F-op.?

Dear All,
According with business requirements we need to get cost elements used in Sales in CO-PA document after F-operations.
We've got the answer from SAP that it could not be done by standard way. Cause profit segment we define in Sales order before we had performed outbound delivery (vl01n )and billing (vf01).
However, we still need to get this cost elements after F-operation in CO-PA documents.
Could anyone name user exit which could be used for that purpose?
With best regards,
Kamila.

Difference between value category and cost element

Hi I am new to SAP Pm.can anyone explain me the difference between value category and cost element and how are they linked with examples

HI Pallavi,
Value Category are use to devide your total cost in to diffrent elements for example Material, External Services, Internal Services etc. If you dont have any value category configured then all cost will show together.
Cost Element are the cost collector where your cost will be booked means different cost under different Elements.
So What you need to do You need to create one Value category Like material or any thing then you need to assign all Cost Elements which will be used to book cost related to Material or that perticular category. You can assign Cost Element directly, range or as a group to these category under SPRO.

SS
