  • How to Change Costing Methods Average Costing to FIFO Costing

    hi folks,
    i had requirement i.e i want to change from average costing to fifo costing in my current company?
    how can we change this?
    any solutions will be appreciated
    regards,
    sri

    Look at the default categories form to find the category that is is assigned for inventory.
    Then go to the category set and see what the level of control is. If it is master see if you can change it to organization. (If items are assigned you may not be able to).
    I think then you can change the attribute controls.

  • Difference between standard costing and average costing

    Can someone please explain the difference in simple terms...what are the factors should be considered when selecting which costing we should opt for..
    I did get a note from oracle...but couldn't understand much from it
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/A60725_05/html/comnls/us/cst/stdavg.htm
    Any advise will be useful

    The page really gives a good overview. You may want to sit down with the CFO /Cost Accountant and discuss the page.
    But as a rule of thumb:
    If the company makes same (or similar) things then you use standard costing. Think of a company making computers, humidifiers, spoons etc.
    If the products or activities are not always the same, you use avg. costing. Think of a company making oil rigs or performing repair jobs.
    Typically, your client will already have a costing philosophy. Just talk to the CFO/Cost accountant and ask them which method they use.

  • Assembly cost rollup using Average costs

    Hi
    I'm working on 11.5.5 On Vision instance on Solaris.
    I did an Assembly cost rollup of an assembly in an Average Costed Oraganisation ( M3 - Dallas Manufacturing ) . The resource costs , overhead costs are getting rolled up , but the Material and Material Overhead Elements costs are not getting rolled up . Can any one help me on this ?
    I have defined an Average cost type of each of the components involved and the assembly , set the default as this cost type itself ( User defined - AvgRates). I have chosen 'Include in Rollup ' for all the components and the assembly. Chosen 'Based on roll' option for only the assembly - disabled it for the components.
    Thanks in advance
    Regards
    Rajesh Shinde

    Hi,
    Why you need to rollup the cost for average costing? You will get the cost of this while you do the job close..
    You need to do the cost rollup for std cost to fix the cost for the assembly...

  • Standard or Moving Average Material Cost

    If we have PO price / costs plus shipping costs....can we use these to calculate the product cost whether standard or moving average?
    Thanks in advance

    The Moving Average Price (MAP value) = Total Valuated Stock value / Total stock quantity.
    At any point of time, If you do a Goods receipt for a Purchase Order, the MAP value is re-calculated at the price at which the goods are inwarded.Thus the MAP value is subject to changes from time to time.
    The standard price is however unaffected by this.
    The Product costing,therefore, for materials with price type "V" is linked to the MAP value of material. Where as for materials with Price type "S" - i.e standard price, the product costing is not affected.

  • Inventory Average Costing Question

    Hi,
    I'm convering onhand quantity from legacy inventory system to Oracle Inventory and we use Average Costing.. Here are the steps.
    1. Converting the items via item import.
    2. Convering onhand quantity with Misc receipts using transactions interface
    3. updating the Average cost of these items via transactions interface .
    When i convert the onhand quantity there is no cost for these items and all the mtl_trasnaction_accounts transactions were created with 0$.. With the average cost update, mtl_trasnaction_accounts transactions were created with $ amount..
    What is the best sequence for reconcilation point iof view with the inventory and GL???
    Please suggest..
    Thanks,
    Shree

    Hi, in my experience the steps you indicates are correct. Anyway, you can avoid step 3 if you put the unit cost directly in the transaction open interface. This is correct only if your costs are not divided in more than one element (eg. you have only the material cost element). If you do in this way, you will see your miscellaneous transactions will have costs and related records on MTL_TRANSACTION_ACCOUNTS will be created with a positive amount.
    As you will know, also when you perform a miscellaneous transactions by using the form, you have the possibility to inidcate the unit cost. Normally you do this if your actual average cost is not correct for your transaction, or if the average cost is 0.
    If you follow this indications, you should not have problem at the moment of the reconciliation with GL.

  • Moving Average Costing

    My clients business buys used equipment on the secondary market that they refurbish & sell. The prices fluctuate pretty dramatically based upon supply and demand; so it really isn't possible to set a standard cost that would be valid throughout the year. Using standard costs results in huge fluctuations in the inventory purchase price variances month over month and quarter of quarter. Therefore, we explored using moving average costing.
    Could someone help me get the moving average to update using PM04, Does SAP actually recommend against using moving average costing?

    Charlie,
        Thanks for your response. If I understand you right, you are suggesting doing STD pricing every month or quarter instead of attempting MAP? Is that right?

  • Average Costing To FIFO

    Dear All,
    I am currently working in a implementation project. My client is working on Average Costing Inventory Org but they want report to be in FIFO basis
    Report Should show : Item Name, Item Desc, Sub Inventory, UOM, Opening Stock of that period with price, Receipts for that Period with price, Issue for that period with price and Closing Balance on FIFO Basis
    Please suggest me how to go about this on the same. Please someone share the code if someone have any. What logic do i need to follow and where to pick the data.
    It is show stopper for us now as we do not have any standard report.
    Thanks,
    Anupam

    Your driving table will be mtl_material_transactions.
    Join it with mtl_system_items_b and cst_cost_details to get additional data.
    Hope this helps

  • Rollup Issue On Average Costing Method

    Hi,
    I want to understand correctly the meaning of the rollup on 'Average' costing method.
    As I understand it, the rollup is meaningful on 'standard' costing method, when I change the costs for some/all items, and I wanted to update the cost of the items parents appropriately.
    But in the 'average' costing, if I change the cost for some child item, the cost of the parent will changed by the average by the time.
    When I use the rollup on 'Average' costing method ?
    Thanks.

    hi,
    u cannot perform rollup on average costing method.

  • Tolerance in average costing

    Dear Pals
    Please guide me, can we put tolerance for average cost, for example if average cost is changing by more than 10% then system should alert user.
    We have observed due to data entry errors, average cost changed and it is very difficult to correct back.
    Thank
    Sandeep

    Hi Friend
    There is no Standard feature for this and you need to go for Custmization which is possible. Consult your technical team to make your requirements.

  • Average cost update

    Hi,
    Average cost is used for valuing inventories. There is an average cost update program that is run every 3 minutes. At times there have been significant changes to the cost (100 times or more) for the material and we are unable to find the source or logic for such changes and how the same has been calculated.
    Is there any document on how the program works and is there an audit trail of entries passed by the average cost update to understand the source and logic of such entries.
    Thanks in advance
    Kiran A

    Srikant,
    Sorry for the late response. Iam running the cost interface using Cost Import Interface. while running the interface the "cost type to import to " parameter has only one value in the LOV which is "Pending" (Pending Standard Cost Type). Since its passing Std cost as default parameter and iam trying to run the average cost its failing. The following is the code i have written..
    INSERT INTO CST_ITEM_CST_DTLS_INTERFACE
    (INVENTORY_ITEM_ID
    ,ORGANIZATION_ID
    ,COST_TYPE_ID
    ,RESOURCE_CODE
    ,USAGE_RATE_OR_AMOUNT
    ,COST_ELEMENT_ID
    ,PROCESS_FLAG
    ,last_update_date
    , last_updated_by
    , creation_date
    , created_by )
    VALUES
    (v_inventory_item_id,
    ,85,
    2,
    'Material',
    nvl(item_rec.item_cost,0)
    ,1
    ,1
    , sysdate
    , 1
    , sysdate
    , 1);
    Please let me know where iam going wrong. Is there any additional setup i need to do.

  • Standard cost and planned cost

    Hi Gurus,
    Can you illustarate the difference between planned cost and standard cost by taking one example.
    Thanks&Regards
    Janardhan Reddy.p

    Hi Srinivas Muthyala,
    I would like to confirm my understanding regard the points below also;
    1. Production Variance is calculated by using PLANNED cost;
    2. STANDARD cost is only the value for benchmarking; and
    3. I found PLANNED cost = 0, STANDARD cost = x & MOVING AVERAGE cost = x (in some cases)
        that means no issued production order.
    Warm Regards,

  • Average Cost in Mexico

    Hi!
    We would like to implement the Average Cost in our company code in Mexico for MXP currency. Is the Material Ledger the solution for this? Please have anybody implemented this scenario for Mexico?
    Current we are in SAP ECC 6.04 (without new GL) and have standard cost for MXP and USD.
    I welcome your comments or suggestions.
    Thanks
    Regards,
    Evandro

    Hi Evandro
    Material Ledger is a solution for actual prices and it uses average price.
    Beggining Inventory + Receipts = Average Price
    It´s standard solution, you have to configure and activate for each plant.
    Also you have to configure some keys in OBYC.
    You will have to calculate actual prices for activities and run CKMLCP monthly to determine actual price.
    Well...I hope I´ve helped you.
