COPA cost estimate using costing sheet

Dear Experts,
I have done the relevant copa configuration related to Material cost estimate using costing sheet. I have maintained all the condition type required in the costing sheet.
Can anyone plese help me out with the Transction code which I should run to do the material cost estomate using costinbg sheet. And also how I can link the estimated material cost in my Profitability analysis report.
Thank you
Regards
Paul

Hi Paul
What is your purpose?
1. If you just want to fetch the material cost estimate (std cost) in COPA, then what you are doing is not correct...For this,
a. KE4U - Valuation Strategy 001 - (DETAILS Tab) assign 001 to Qty Field ABSMG and tick "Mat Cstng" indicator
b. KE4U - (Assignment Tab) Assign 001 to PV=01 and Record Type = F
c. Create a Costing key in KE40
d. Assign Costing key to mat types in KE4J or KEPC
e. Assign Cost Comp Split to Value Field in KE4R
2. Costing sheet in COPA is used for doing some calculations during billing and updating the same to COPA... For eg: you want to add 2% of your Std cost as Freight to COPA (Statistical value)... This can be done using Costing sheet...
In order to use Costing sheet in COPA,
a. Create a Costing sheet - (You already did this)
b. KE4U - Val Strategy 001 - (DETAILS Tab) Against Valuation Strategy 001 - Assign this costing sheet against "Application = KE" and Qty Field = ABSMG.. Do not check "Mat Cstng" against this indicator..
So, if you want to use Costing sheet in COPA, your KE4U may have 2 entries under the "DETAILS" tab..
(1) As per 1.a and 1.b above
(2) As per 2.b above

COPA cost estimate from costing for COGS

Hi,
we are using sales order costing (variant config), discrete(Prdn Order) and repitative (Cost collectors) in production costing.
Need to update COGS under COPA based on cost component structure using mat cost estimate. All mat uses mat type as ZINE for all cases.
There is separate costing variant for sales order and others. created 2 costing key in COPA and costing key 001 that is sales order costing to mat type ZINE. and assigned valuation class in next step so that discrete and repitative can get captured.
But it resulted in error during billing as system could not find sales order costing for discrete material. So i assgned costing 2 with discrete and repitatve costing variant to mat type ZINE aftter sales order costing variant.
Error got resolved but cost component split happens for sales order costing only and not for others. Please advice and also note that it is not possible to add material type or change valuation class due to complexity.

Atu

Cost Estimate using Commercial Price 3 of BOM item

Dear Experts,
I am trying to create a cost estimate for certain materials using ABC costing variant. The objective is that the cost estimate should pick up Commercial price 3 from the material masters of the BOM item and then calculate cost estimate for the main product (The costing variant has been customized this way). However, for certain main products, the system is picking up the standard price of the BOM item and in some main products it it correctly picking up the Commercial price.
The BOM items used in the different products are different.
I am unable to understand this behaviour. If anyone has come across any such problem before, please help.
Regards,
Aditya

hi,
Check the Valuation variant and the strategy sequence whether you have selected the Commercial price 3 as the first priority and the Standard price as the next priority. If u dont want the standard price to be picked u remove this in the strategy sequence.
Further where the system is picking the standard price, possibly the commercial price 3 has not been defined in the material master. Possibly , the system is unable to find the commercial Price 3 and it is fetching the next Price as defined in the valuation variant which is the standard Price.
assign points if useful.

Material cost estimate using recursive BOM

Hello everybody.
I want create material cost estimate (CK11N) using a recipe with recursive BOM. When I execute the transaction CK11N the following message is display Costing of cycle 00001 does not converge
Do you know what is missing?
Thanks in advance.

In standard cost estimate the cost of alternative items flowing in full

Hi,
when i calculate the standard cost estimate in repetitiv manufacturing the
complete cost of all alternative items in alternative group is flowing to it.
how to restrict it
thanks in advance
regards
madan

Solution
1. make one of the materail in BOM, as not releavent to costing....depeding on which alternative is better to get the correct std cost
2. Use stargergy 1 usage probnability may be 50% and 50% for alternatives...depending on usage of that material.

Assigning overheads to Cost collector using cost center assessments

Dear All,
I want to assign admin and selling overheads to product cost collectors for different products using cost center assessment.
I am creating the cycle for assessment and in the receiver objects i am not able to get product cost collectors. In the order field, i am able to see only the internal orders but not the product cost collectors(or the PCC number).
Could anyone please tell me how to assign product cost collector in the receiver objects in the assessment cycle.My senders are cost centers(admin and sales).
Thank you very much in advance.
Regards,
Vishnu
VST-IT.
Please... somebody answer my query.

Thank you for replying.
If you go to order field and select the order type RM01. Here we can see the order numbers for product cost collectors. We can assign this cost collector number in the distribution cycle as receiver. after we post, when we go to the cost collector in kkf6n, we can see the amount posted through distribution in the costs of the cost collector.
My question is why the same functionality is not possible using assessment.

Primary cost estimate/ stad. cost estimate

Hi gurus,
Please advise in REM, what is the difference between std cost estimate and preliminary cost estimate. when we should go for preliminary cost estimate and in which scenario should we go for std? please advise.

Hi
To make things simple, please note the below difference.
Standard cost estimate: -
If you select this in REM profile, then if u make any changes in routing or BOM which could have impact in material cost, then the costing run and updating the assembly with new cost is mandatory beofre MFBF could be done.
Preliminary cost estimate: -
Here once Preliminary cost estimate is done then the back flush could be done with preliminary cost and costing run is not mandatory.
The scenario depends on situation where company does chnages in routing or BOM frequently but it has no or negligible impact in final costing of material.

KKF6N - Cost estimate on cost collector

When I cost a product cost collector with MF30 or KKF6N, the BOM of the finished product is not exploded as if all the components were raw material or the BOM was monolevel - despite the BOM is multilevel. I don't understand why...
Thanks for your help

In the same time i found OSS note 717592
The system response in the preliminary costing of a product cost collector
is different from the previous behavior in releases as of Release 40B . Up
to and including Release 40B, assemblies were broken down and costed
further. The cost estimate was created in multiple levels. In the following
releases, the system does no longer break down the incoming components and
carries out a material valuation.
This system response is correct. However, you can check whether you can set
up again the prior behavior with a modification. In this case, contact the
Remote Consulting.

How to get report for cost estimates material cost only

Hi Gurus,
We have requirement in sales order costing that we need to develope report which shows only Material cost for all BOM levels.
Normally at lower levels cost of Material and activity cost will be treated as Material cost for next level. Here I want to consider only material cost not activity cost at lower levels
Pls suggest the logic and tables for exploding BOM and fetching material cost only.
Thanks
Sneha

If you tick the "Roll up" indicatorfor each cost component in Cost Comp Str OKTZ, then overheads do not get added to the material cost... This is my understanding about it.. Is it behaving some thing different in your case??

KE380 for finished good with released cost estimate

Dear Gurus,
We have following error.
No product costing estimate could be found
Message no. KE380
Diagnosis
In Profitability Analysis (CO-PA), the system tried to find a product cost estimate for product 20010412 in plant FA03 that uses costing variant LG01.
The system looked for the cost estimate using costing key LG1 as defined in the CO-PA Customizing
settings.
System Response
No estimate could be found.
Procedure
Check the settings for valuation using product costing. If necessary, create a product cost estimate for this product.
The thing is this error occurs for materials with released cost estimate.
Before we had error ke350 for all materials considering DIEN and ROH.
After supressing the error in kepc we can release invoices with DIEN and ROH materials.
But we got another ke380.
How can we solve this issue?
With best regards,
Kamila.

Hi,
This type of errror is usual if costing based COPA is active and you are using Costing key to valuate the inventory using the Standard cost estimation.
When the costing key is been configured in COPA to access the standard cost estimation and is accordingly assigned to material types, then when the billing is released to accounting system tries to find out the SCE in the material master to pass the COGM to COPA. If it doesnt find the same, it will throw the error.
Hence, run SCE and update your material master.
Thanks & Regards,

Valuation using material cost estimate

Ciao a tutti,
We have create a material cost
estimate without standard structure(unit costing) not FOR ALL MATERIALS, but only for ONE
VARIANT of generic material (retail solution) (because the other variant have the same price, and because we have to reproduced 5000 BOM in unit cost for just
one variant with transaction KKPA LSMW)
So, now we have to valuated the material cost estimate when the customer create the billing document and put the split of the cost estimate in co-pa
Our prolem is : we have calculate standard cost estimate for 5000
variant not for all variant (because our customer crete the BOM in unit
costing with transaction KKPA and LSMW, and they refuced the idea to
calculate 30000 cost estimate with lsmw) so when we crete a billing
document with a variant that haven't cost estimate created the system doesn't
valuated the cost estimate (the system works well), but how I can change the variant in the valuation and put the variant that have the cost
estimate calculate?
Wiht the transaction "Assign Costing Keys to Any Characteristics" I think
is not possible.
I must to use enhance COPA0002?
Thank you very much

Hi All,
I am also facing the problem for Sales Order Cost Estimate. and the Costing Status is VO(Marked without errors).
I have done the following
created the Costing Key (sales order cost estimate)
assigned costing key to the material type.
assigned to the respective value fields
sales order cost estimate,
Run the RA
Settlement done.
But in COPA, cost estimates are not being split up based on the cost component (like Material, Labour and Over head) and it is getting posted to COGS only.
Do we need to change the costing status to FR, if yes, but how to do ?

How SAP use transfer control or material cost estimate

Hello!
I have strategy "3-Previous standard cost estimate" in transfer control material cost estimate.
I have cost estimate for product AAA with status KA and costing date from 01.01.2014.
Product AAA produced from component BBB.
Component BBB has two cost estimates with costing date from 01.01.2014 and 01.02.2014.
I run cost estimate for product AAA with costing date from 06.03.2014.
Cost estimate not use existing cost estimate for component and create new cost estimate.
In help.sap.com contains next information about transfer strategy 3 - The system searches for existing previous cost estimate.
why my system does not use the existing cost estimate for component?
Thanks for attention.

Thanks, Szymon!
I use russian interface and read russian help. Where stragegy 3 has name "Прошедшая плановая калькуляция" which means "The last planned cost estimate".
This led me astray.
In english help i read next:
Previous standard cost estimates
The system searches for an existing previous standard cost estimate.
You are completely right!
two more questions:
- We can not use strategy 3 if we not realesed cost estimate as standard price?
- What strategy we should use for transfer material cost estimate with status KA?
Thanks

Cost center doubt in Itemization of Material Cost Estimate

Hi,
I have one doubt. I creating a material cost estimate of a header material.A new overhead rate ZCDD has been maintained in the costing sheet. An existing crdit key ZC9 has been assigned to the overhead rate ZCDD. The cost element and cost center row has been added in the credit key.
When I run the material cost estimate, the cost element it is coming, but the cost center it is picking is not the one which has been maintained in the credit key.
Can you please clarify my doubt, I am stuck up on this. Please let me know if you need any more information roe clarifications.
Thank you very much.
Prithwiraj.

Hi Rau,
Thanks for the reply.
Can u tell me, is it mandatory to have only one to one Cost Center-Cost element mapping in a Credit Key?
I mean to say is it like that we can assign a cost element of a credit key only to one cost center?
Thanks,
Prithwiraj.

Valuation with material cost estimate: error with product "117122"

Hi people,
We have the error:
=====================
Valuation with material cost estimate: error with product "117122"
Diagnosis
In Profitability Analysis (CO-PA), the system tried to valuate a line item using the current standard cost estimate.
In order to determine the current plan period, the system needs to read the valuation segment of the material master.
The system has found that the current plan period is not filled forproduct "117122" in plant "UBE1".
We have the follow configuration in trans.: KE40:
. Determine material cost estimate
   . Transf. Standard Cost Estimate
. Costing Variant
. Control Data for Standard Cost Estimate
   . Period Indicator = "Current Standard Cost Estimate acc. to entry in mat master
. Addiitonal data CO-PC
    . Transfer cost estimate in controlling area currency "activated"
We think the reason about our error is because the field above is activated and some configuration more is necessary for this case. For examplo: Trans.: OKYW and this one was not configurated yet.
Do you know what happend?
If we need to configure some transation, or sonly process the cost estimate?
Thanks,
Rosana.

Hello Guido
Thank you very much for your return.
It is happenning in a Client that some people are doing the configuration.
Before we didin't have in KE40, the fiel "Transfer cost estimate in controlling area currency" activated.
And now, the people activate that in this new Client and I don't know the impact about that.
I think we have to make the configuration in OKYW.
The other transation you told me, we don't have any information.
Could you tell me some other idea what happend?
Message error is just "Message no. KE350"
Abou claculate the cost:
It was calculated by trans.: CK11N for future planning and the real wasn't not possible to release because this material already have moviments.
Could you tell us is there is some thing more to do?
Thanks,
Rosana.

Cost estimate/costing run

Hi
What is the difference between cost estimate and costing run?
Thanks,
Nivi

Hello Ram,
There are 3 steps in Costing Procedure. They are
1. Creation of cost estimate
2. Marking of cost estimate
3. Release of cost estimate
Once you release cost estimate, then only system will update the required fields in the database and can be used for transactions.
Hence, cost estimate means, it is just estimated total cost of the product and Costing Run means which inclusive of all the above three steps to complete the total process.
Please let me know if you require any further clarifications.
Thank you,
Regards,
Santosh
