Consumption account - during cost estimate

Hello All
While doing the cost estimate for material I am getting the error message 'Consumption account not part of GBB / ZAU"
I thought it should be from VBR normally.
ZAU does not seems to be standard to me. Please let me know where can I check this.
Best Regards

HI Vijay
ZAU is not standard.. Only ZOB and ZOF are standard in Z...
May be in OMJJ some where you have assigned ZAU against some consumption movement types.. especially 261 or any other

Routing is not pickup during cost estimate

Hi,
We have created BOM & Routing,
Issues During SCE System will not taking Routing,
Parameter taken in consideration
Configuration & Master data maintenance
1) In Material master Base UOM maintained is EA alternate UOM MLD
2) Activity rate we have maintained : KG / KW / HR
2) Routing requirement is MLD.
In Routing IF i Maintained EA UOM, System will take Routing for SC,
Client requirement :Mafg production in MLD and EA, Activity should be MLD Base
Is their any config missing for UOM
Could u tel me.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
VINU

Dear Vinutha,
If my understanding is correct then you have to first define all the alternative unit of measurement(like issuing unit,production
unit,ordering unit,purchasing unit) in the respective material's additonal data in the material master.( 100 Ea = 100 MLD - For
example).
While defining routing,in the routing header for the material mention the unit(MLD) in which you will be defining the
operation,operation timings.
Check with settings whether the system is picking the routing during SCE in CK11N/CK40N.If my understanding is correct then
there is no configuration settings related to the same.
Check and revert back.

Material cost estimate can't be released

Hello Experts
I've already handled with necessary steps including CK11N (create cost estimate), CK24(Mark and release), but it failed to be released although the cost estimate has been updated into 'Future' sheet in material master. It seems like the issue resulted during cost estimate creation, there is message existing in log. the message is described as 'No structure could be determined for internal activity ATL-00(CC530-00)'.
Could anyone please kindly advise me which customizing is needed to be done to solve this issue?

Nicole

Hi,
Please check whether this activity costs have been assigned to the cost component structure in 'OKTZ'.
Good Luck!!!

Consumption accounts

is it necessary to make every consumption account as cost element account (profit and loss account)
this is in regard with 3rd party sales process i have created po with reference to pr which generaed from ssales order

Hi Rahul,
On specific occasions a Sale Order will become a cost object. But not otherwise.
The circumstances under which a Sale Order can become a Cost Object are:
1. In a Valuated stock with Sale Order Controlling scenario
2. In Non-Valuated Stock with Sle Order Controlling
3. In Case of Service Sale Order is created and all the costs are tracked to Sale Order instead of Service Order.
In the above scenarios, there are specific settings in Item category, Requirement class, requirement type that we need to make in order to make the SALE ORDER as Cost Object.

Wrong cost estimate due to info record SA reference field.

Hi
I have an issue during cost estimate.
When we create scheduling agreement for a Material/Vendor/Plant combination.
The info record in Purchase organisation - reference field updates with latest SA number.
Here. I had created the second Scheduling agreement and later i decide to delete the latest SA and use the previous one. But inforecord does not update with previous SA number.
As per configuration, the reference field is taken for cost estimate and it takes the latest SA number, which is wrong.
Can anyone guide me how to get the live SA number in the reference field in Info record?
Thanks in advance,
Sasi

Hi
The idea of SAP in case of retreiving information in case of PO/SA, is the last document number that is stored in the info record. Since you have just created the SA agreement, whose information is not stored in info record, you can simply update info record (select info update indcator) which is available in ME31L somewhere in Menu bar options (Sorry I dont know precisely). This could solve your problem I hope.

Sales order cost estimate with GIT account

Hi,
Business introduced Goods - in - Transit (Balance sheet account), so PGI will always post to GIT and Invoice it will get reversed.
For one of the Configuratble material (MTO) scenario we need the Sales order cost estimate to get the Planned cost.
When i try to execute the sales order cost estimate it says cost element doesnot exist for GIT GL (WHich is right).
But with maintaining the GIT how to achieve the sales order cost estimate.
I tried to create CE category 90 for GIT, in Cost estimate am getting error CE 90 not supported for Cost estimate.
Kindly help this is kind of urgent req for us
Thanks,
Sudha

Hello Ashley
Yes, if you have done your settings correctly, especially Requirements class set up (see the documentation link), then the cost estimate will flow to a condition type in Pricing, usually EK01/EK02 conditions. These conditions are used to calculate sales prices (PR00) in cost-plus (mark-up) scenarios.
Link: http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/90/ba6da4446711d189420000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
However Profit margin as calculated in a sales order comes from VPRS condition (which is based in Material Master) and is the difference of net value and VPRS condition value in normal circumstance.
Hope other more knowledgeable experts will weigh in.

Sales order cost estimate not happening because of GIT B/S account

Hi,
Requirement is to have Goods in Transit account in PGI and reverse it in Invoice no issues iwth it.
For the same sales order user wants to get cost using sales order cost estimate.
When i run that am getting following error
Item 00001 : Cost element 14001212 does not exist in CO area 0010 for 10/07/2011
Message no. KK689
Even though i maintain the CE for Balance sheet account with Cost element category 90 its not accpeting.
Can you please help me on how to proceed for sales order cost estimate.
Thanks,
sudha

hi,
if you give a balance sheet account in obyc , you will not be able to create a cost elementin category 01 , accordignly system will give error in sales order costing , as its not able to get correct cost element in cost planning.
if your requirement is just to post cogs to a balance sheet account which is goods in transit and when invoice is done cogs to be posted.
you should actually use revenue based RA functionality on sales order instead of assinging a balance sheet account in obyc.
in this approach;
- first assign a p/l account in obyc and create cost element in cateogry 01.
- create revenue based RA and assign RA key in requirement class.
- in OKG8 for RA category WIPR and your ra key assign , goods in transit account and give a offsetting account which is not cost element (credit entry in offsetting account nullify debit in account given in OBYC when GIT is posted , when billing is done system will automatically post a oppsite entry in both account).
-in OKG8 for RA category COSR give the COGS account and a offsetting account without cost element (credit entry in offsetting account nullify debit in account given in OBYC when COGS is posted).

Error during Material Cost Estimate (CK11N)

hi friends,
I am getting am error during the material cost estimate run.(ck11n)
"No control record for the activity type"
please let me know what is the problem.

Ramesh

Ramesh,
System is not able to determine activity type price.
You need to input activity price in transaction KP26 for Version 0/Period/Cost Center/Activity Type combination.

Material Ledger : Actual Cost settlement to Consumption Accounts

Dear CO Experts,
We are aware that when we run CKMLCP, all variances (in the Price Diff GL Account) due to Material Prices flutuation, diff in Standard & Actual Cost of Production, etc. would finally get settled to Consumption or Stock Account in its appropriate ratios.
Consumption Acount GL is a Cost Element with Cost Category as 1.
There can be cases, when there are diferences in Production Order, due to fluctuations in Prices or Actual consumption is more than standard consumption.
When a Production Order is settled the difference is posted to Price Diff Account.
When a Material Ledger (Actual Costing) is executed, Price Diff Account is targetted to be Zero. The Price Diff is then splitted in Stock & Consumtion Account in its appropriate ratios.
Main Question :
Since, Consumption Acount GL is a Cost Element with Cost Category as 1, what shall be the CO Account Assignment Object, when the ML value is settled to Consumption Accounts.

hi merchant..
   1. Price diff between stnd and act is initially goes to PRD a/c through OBYC setting at the time of GR/Invoiceing/Issue if mat is set as S&3.
   2. In case of mat set as V&2 idially there should not be any diff but may arise some small amount due to "no or less stock qty" at the time of invoicing.
3. When CKMLCP is run these price diff & order settlement diff splitted to cons and stock as you mentioned.
Now your question :
" Since, Consumption Acount GL is a Cost Element with Cost Category as 1, what shall be the CO Account Assignment Object, when the ML value is settled to Consumption Accounts"
    Cons GL is cost element cat 1 for capturing mat mov for Issues to orders/cost centres,oth co obj for primary posting at stnd price.
    Now at the time of CKMLCP run you revaluate the materials and price diff are splitted to cons & stock and goes to mat to calculate act cost (stnd +/- prd).
I think this will give you some light on your issue.

Sytem restrictions during Releasing new Cost Estimate during the year

Hi,
We are currently using Moving Average Price for Traded materials (Material type ZHAW) with Price Control indicator "V". We have an internal requirement to change the basis of valuation to Standard Cost immediately. Thus we have to change the following immediately before the close of the current Financial year:
1) Change the Price control indicator from 'V' to 'S' in the material master of Traded materials.
2) Thereafter, release new Standard cost estimates for all such materials in the current year. This is required because the business wants to have a different standard cost from the existing Moving average price.
I would like to know what are the system restrictions / safeguards to be taken care of before doing the above activities, since we are doing this before the period-end & year -end.
Your early response will be appreciated.
Regards,
R.Rajaraman

You can change the price control from V to S or vice versa. You might need some additional config for if required to send the price differnece to variances account in OBYC. Other than that since it is trading materials which are not produced you might not need Product Costing Planning.

Additive costs getting added to raw material consumption account

Hi,
when i run ck11n , the additive costs are getting added to raw material consumption account, how can i split them .please advice
Thanks

Check the cost elements in OKTZ.
If there is any surcharge applicable on that material, we use CK74 to add "Additive Cost". When you run the CK11N, it shows separately in the last with separate cost element with values updated in CK74.
You might have assigned the Material consumption cost elemtn in CK74. Just check it
Hope this helps
Thanks

Error during variance calculation for production order "NO cost estimate "

hi all,
I'm gettin this error message while trying to calculate the variance for a production order. error is "No cost estimate for material xxxx for 01.10.2008.
when i look at material xxx in MM02, under cost estimate for current period there is a value but nothing for previous period. So i'm guessing the the Cost estimate was not run of this material? am i correct here?
Now if i try to run cost estimate for material for the missing periods using CK11N, i get an error "cannot save for past period"
Could some one tell me how can i get a prior year estimate into the material master?
I tried CK40N and CKN1 but just cant get it to work...
Thanks heaps

Hi Tom
unfortunately there is no easy way to get a product cost estimate for a past date. One of the reasons for this would be inconsistant product valuation.
You could in theory create a cost estimate in a current date and use an ABAP or manually adjust the valid from and to dates directly in the tables (e.g. KEKO). To do this in a production environment would be restrictive off course.
The standard cost estimate is the basis for the target costs so as an alternative you could look to change the configuration of the target cost version in OKV6 to either of the following:
- Plan Cost/Preliminary Costing (that is the plan calc done on your production order)
- Alternative Material Cost Estimate (one that is not necessarily a product costing that is set for marking and release).
I hope this is of some help.

Cost estimate wrong after adding accounting/costing view

material 3000232 previously does not have accounting and costing view, now we maintained them, after running ck11n, it shows below error: no itemization exists for material, message number ck219, by drill down, the costing log is saying bom not existed.
but this material is using purchase info record, and procurement type is E in mm03, system should not ask BOM, and our costing variant is cost from purchase info record. may i know why we have such error?

Hi
Your Prc Type should be F and not E
