Configured to Order Costing configuration

Hi,
I am looking to configure costing for Configured to Order. Can it be handled the say way as a regular production order with respect to costing variant and month end closing. Or, should this be configured under Product Cost by Sales Order.
Would appreciate if you could let me know about results analysis key, price update and things I need to take care here relative to regular production order.
Thank you,
Ram

Solved. Found that it is similar to regular production order costing.

Production order costing issue in MTO with variant configuration

We have an urgent issue to be resolved in production order costing in MTO scenario.
We have two level configuration with configuration passed from parent to children. The parent has many configurable materials as child(semi finished BOM items) and BOM items of these child has again different raw materials(3 level BOM with last level being all raw materials) . The production order for parent created with reference to sales order.
While costing production order of parent, total planned price is displayed as zero as we have maintained price control std price for all configurable materials(parent & child) with zero price being configurable materials.Configurations are correct in production order material and BOM components(configurable materials). BOM item selections, Item quanties are also correct.
Sales order costing is working fine and rolled-up correctly as per costing settings. We have looked at costing configuration for production order and did not find anything unusual.
Kindly suggest possible reasons for not showing costing result in production order as per configuration copied from sales order or any possible configuration or master data likely missing ?
Thanks in advance.
Kind Regards
Ganeshan Kalembeth

Dear GANESHAN KALEMB,
Kindly open production order in change mode and reschedule order, cost order, check material availability and check capacity availability.
after doing this in main menu goto > log > overview > see error list if there is any, let me know, your problem can be solved.

Sales order costing for Configured Material (Material Variant Not KMAT Mat)

Hi All
For a Configured Material (Variant) (Not KMAT Material), which is having Std price costed.
But if we create a Sales Order for the Configured Material, what options are availale to Execute Sales order costing and take the sales order value to COGS during Delivery.
The reason being Client wants to Cost BOM items are price which is different from the Price used in Std cost estimate due to Price Volatility.
I can understand we can do this in KMAT, but not sure how to do in Conifgured material. We can execute sales order costing and get Statistical cost value in EK02/EK01, but how to get this value posted during PGI..?
Thanks
Aravind

Hi Ajay
Even if i maintain M in Valuation filed, my Material Variant HALB material is already having standard cost in its material master and it is picking the std cost during PGI Delivery and hitting COGS A/c.
Now how to get my sales order costing to real and post my sales order costing value to GI..this is the client requirement.
Due some complication KMAT is not used and logistics go with Material Variant

Sales order costing is not possible for recursive configurable material

User is creating cost estimate for sales order, where system is throwing above error.
The diagnosis is like below
The system recognized that the BOM structure being costed is a recursive production process in which configurable materials are used. This scenario is not supportive by sales order costing
System resopose
Material XXXX in plant XXXX can not be exploded further.
If anyone has come across such error or knows the solution, please help.

Routing data for configurable products (Sales order costing)

Hi
I am runnign sales order cost estimate for configurable product. here I want to confirm the activity quantity with cost estimate.
Pls let me know where can I check the activity quantity information . Pls help
Thanks
Sneha

Hi Sneha
I am bit confused with the terms you used..
you cannot confirm activity qty while doing cost estimate... Activity confirmation happens during Production Confirmation
Are you talking about missing activity qty/cost in sales order cost estimate?? Contact your PP consultant... You should have a routing attached while creating the sales order.. If that is there, then Activity cost would show up in the sales order cost estimate

"Alternate" Sales Order Costing for configurable product

We are using condition EK02 to record the statistical value of the product cost associated with a make-to-order (configurable) product. Our current accounting system is moving average, so this EK02 value is based on the current moving average of all the components.
Management has a need to store a second statistical value which would be based on standard cost rather than moving average. This value would be used to assess margins on a fixed rather than moving basis. It would not update accounting in any way.
I understand that the method used to perform order costing is configured in SD > Basic functions > Accounting & costing > Maintain requirements class for costing and account assignment. But again, I do not want to change the current method, I want to add a second.
Can anyone suggest a method for doing this?
Thank you,
Michele

Hi
For getting margin from standard price in material master ,i think u can use VPRS in pricing conditions.
Use the VPRS and its negative copy for getting actaul margin from sales in pricing procedure.

Sales order costing after changes on configuration or sales order BOM

Hi all
Our sales order items requruire an sales order costing. This is done automatically, when saving the sales order item:
Settings in requirement class:
- costing: X (costing required)
- costing-ID: B (automatic costing and marking)
This works perfect, means the sales order receives a caluculation that is marked.
Now, something is changed on the sales order BOM with transaction CU51
It seems, that each time you change the BOM you have to ensure yourself, that the costing of the sales order items (via VA02 -> extras -> costing) has to be performed manually.
There is no SAP standard process, that does this automatically.
Thanks for your feedback.
Pius

Dear Pius,
System cannot take the changes from the BOM and execute the cost estimate automatically.
Need to refresh system when the changes are happened i..e need to execute the Cost Estimate once again.

Sales Order Cost Estimates -- Versions?

In our MTS plant we are creating cost estimates each month with different version numbers so they can easily be compared to review cost changes.
This concept in our MTO plant is (of course) a problem.
We would like to create a dummy sales order and on each line list a KMAT and build an "average" configuration. We use variant config, so the sales order bom is built automatically. It also costs automatically. We would like to save this cost estimate and compare it with a cost estimate of the same configuration next month. I do not have an option for version CK51n, nor do I see a Costing Date in KEKO table. Either of these items for MTS would create a second cost estimat and allow comparison.
Is there a way to compare Sale Order Cost Estimates across periods?
Any other suggestions as to how to obtain the required data??
Thank you for all suggestions!!

Any one think of a solution?
thanks

Sales Order Costing. Error values, need BAPI or Userexit or Enhancements

Hi Experts,
I have a situation to solve the Errors in Sales Order Costing.
My Error is, its not splitting values equally,,, (BOM Item Price Values)
for example...
let i have a parent Item A.
and Child Items as A1, A2, A3.
Now the Qty of A is 100. for each item the price value is 50. so the total value is 5000/-
Now If i need one A, then I need 8 A1's, 4 A2's, 3 A3's.and let think A1 value and A2 value and A3 value (single Unit ) are equal. and let the value be 100.
but in BOM i can see all the values of A1, A2, A3 as same. (500, 500, 500) but it should be (800, 400, 300)
The single Unit Price is not multiplying with Quantity, but its equally splitting.
Please tell me Can I find and BAPI or Userexit or any enhancements or any Configurations to do.
Thanks & Regards

Sale order costing process : Help required

Hello All,
Belatted Happy New Year 2011 to all.
I have a question related to Sale Order Costing. It goes like this,
My client is into Pipe coating business who receives the pipe from the customers, coats it as per there requirements and despatches it thereon. There is no concept of FG here as its only the service he is doing on it and also when he receives the pipe there is no raw material cost on it. Raw materials for him would be chemicals etc which he uses to coat the pipe.
And also this demands variant configuration from SD and PP angel.
As this scenario is customer specific, it demands Sale Order based costing(Sale order cost estimate).
My doubt is, how the sale order costing process goes with.
In general scenarios, Make to stock, we use production order based costing where standard cost estimate is calculated for planned cost and actuals are incurred on PO settling the variance to COPA
Similarly how the costing goes with if Sale order cost estimate is used. What i think is, here instead of Standard cost estimate for plan, we will go with Sale order cost estimate at sale order level, and incur actual cost at production order and settle the cost of Production order to Sale order. Correct me if i am wrong, and request you ppl there to explain me the process of costing in the scenario said above.
apart from that, my client wants the flexibility to change the cost estimate at quotation level.
Please suggest me with solution explaining the process of costing here.
Thanks in advance,
Ravi Kumar

Hi Ravi
Your understanding of the scenario is very much right...
In your case, you need to have sales order as cost object...
Process
Your stock would be non valuated stock, because the FG is not your stock.. You are just doing a service
Based on the characteristics chosen in the Sales orders, system would determine the Sales order BOM
Based on sales order BOM, Sales order cost estimate would be calculated....
You would receive the Customer pipe in your stock against the sales order... It would be a non valuated GR... You can track the Qty only
Sales order would trigger a production order... The prod order can have its planned cost, which is only for information sake
The Customer Pipe, Chemicals would be issued to prod order to coat the pipe... And also Labor/machine hrs may be confirmed
There after your production order would be settled on Sales order
Then you would do PGI (Post Goods Isue).. This will not trigger any accounting doc
Then you do billing... The sales revenue would be posted on the sales order
Then you settle the sales order to COPA.. This will close the cycle
Configuration
The IMG Settings required would be as below
1. You would use account assignment category (AAC) E
2. Create a Requirement class with
a. AAC = E.... (Means sales order is CO Object)
b. Valuation Indicator = BLANK (Means Non Valuated Stock)
c. Costing ID/Costing Method = As per your choice to calculate the Sales order cost estimate
3. Assign this req class to Requirement Type
4. Give this req type to your PP/SD team.. They would assign it to Strategy group / Item Category to determine it in the sales order

Sales order costing- engineer to order production

hi
we have a scenario where the production is started based on the sales order. The product is not standard product, for every sales order the product changes i.e. the material code should be created along with the sales order at the same point.
1. Bom is not available for all collective requiremnts at the time of sales order creation therefore the sales order costestimate calculated on the same day of sales order creation does not give the true picture
2. the chance is that the product that may be produced for the sales order may be after 6 months also, hence the production people are not ready to create bom for the sales order related product
my question is can we suggest sales order costing in this scenario.
krishna

Hello Krishna
In this case, I think you should suggest for sales order costing with variant configuration since the product is not standard and changes for every sales order. The sales order BOM needs to be created and a cost estimate should be taken. If the details are not available then the sales people should edit the sales order through VA02 later and rerun the cost estimate. After the BOM is finalised the production process may start.

Sales Order costing error to prevent Plan Order generation in MRP run

Dear PP Experts,
We are into sales order costing due to Variant Config implementation.
Problem Statement: After sales order entry /Characterisitc value selection, while saving sales order , SO costing is auto triggered. Many a times one of the new Raw material price is not maintained( Purchase info record), hence SO costing occurs. SO costing is still saved, SO incompletion is not configured , so it is detected when Production order has 'No Target Cost'. This creates inconsistancy in FI postings.
My questions
- Can we set SO imcompletion for SO costing error( Standard Config?)
- Is there a enhancement to prevent MRP from processing Sales order with incompletion log i.e. Prevent MRP from generating Plan Order.
Best Regards,
Jatin

Hello Jatin
You can use BAdI MD_CHANGE_MRP_DATA to make the sales order not relevant to MRP.
Check the following document for an overview of the BAdIs available on MRP:

Purchase Requisition and Sales Order Linkage (Order Costing)

Dear, Gurus
I have a scenario where in the Purchase Requisition you can assign acct cat C for Sales Order to item 010 for example. What exactly is this used for I mean is it used to transfer the price of the purchase into the Sales Order? Or its just a linking for reporting purpose? User would like if the purchase order or its requisition price come into the conditions of my Sales Order. Is this possible if yes how or thru which condition type? I was told this is order costing and I have no idea how to configure my sales order in terms of order costing to pull the price of the purchase requisition or purchase order.
Recap
1)     What is the purpose of the linkage to the Sales order?
2)     Can the price be linked into the sales order this way?
3)     Any other valuable information I should know please feel free.
Thanks and hope to hear from you geniuses.

Aroop thanks for your reply.
My scenario is not the same as in 3rd party processing. In fact my scenario is make to order and even repairs of other companies machinery. Now what we are trying to achieve is lets say in the repair or in production of the customers machinery or service, MM needs to make a purchase for a part or tool etc. That in itself has a price. Meaning our purchase mm dept has to pay the vendor for the purchase made and in return we need to charge our customer for that purchase. So we would like for the price of the purchase order come in our sales order condition type as a surcharge.
We were able to fetch the price of the production order automatically thru condition type EK02.
We would like to do the same from purchase order.

Inventory Valuation based on Sales Order Costing

Dear All
My client requirement is the inventory value should happen based on the "Sales Order Cost Estimate"
Kindly give the configuration steps, if it is possible in SAP
Regards
Anilkumar

Hi rback59,
The information you have provided is very clear and accurate. Thank you. I am hoping that you can assist with a related problem I am facing:
We have sales order costing in place with the Material Ledger and multiple valuation. For financial reporting purposes, we have a legal valuation/local currency variant entered in our requirements class (46) and we are using this to value our sales order stock. The problem we are facing is that the requirements class allows us to enter only one costing variant. This means we are not able to create a cost estimate for our two additional valuation views (group and profit centre). As a result, we are forced to use the material standard price in the material master for the group and profit centre views which is not ideal.
Do you know if there is a way to create cost estimates in all 3 valuation views for a single sales order line item?
Any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ross
