Costing variant with a valuation strategy

Hello all,
I have the following issue:
In PM I have defined a costing variant with a valuation strategy first u201Cstandard priceu201D and second u201CMoving Average priceu201D, and assigned this costing variant to the plant and order type.
When I create a PM order (PM01) with a planning plant and enter the components in the order with a different plant and determine the cost, the system determines the correct plan costs based on the Costing variant for planned costs. The planning plant and the plant where the components are reserved are belonging to the same company code.
When I create the same order with a planning plant and a different plant for component reservation and both plants belong to different company codes and determine the costs, the system doesnu2019t take the Costing variant into account. The costs are determined based on the price control assigned to the material type and not based the valuation strategy. In this case always the moving average price is taken.
Can anyone help me with this issue?
Thanks in advance

Hi
In OIOF you can specify the valuation variant for plant and order type, system determines the same . for your second case kindly check in the order which valuation variant system has determined.

Material valuation strategy U in valuation variant

Dear All,
We r trying to use the material valuation strategy U in the valuation variant.
We have also activated the project with the user exit
COPCP005 : User exit for material valuation (strategy U)
Component :EXIT_SAPLCK21_002
INCLUDE ZXCKAU08
However we r not able to get the desired result.
Could you please guide.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi Ram
During first costing run planned prices entered thru MR 21 will be updated as standard prices. Which means planned prices = std prices.
If you wish to change the prices 6 months down the line = u need to MR 21 upload again and over the earlier planned price. Then u do costing run again. with this costing run, if there is diff in standard prices, system posts revaluation entry.
For Raw materials
Create a simple query which gives u moving avg price, current std price. Analyze the variances and consider revised prices as planned prices for the next 6 months. Next, do costing run and system revaluates the inventory values for raw materials.
If the situation is that prices of raw materials are highly volatile, do costing run level by level as earlier suggested.
But give a word of caution to client on how dynamically variances get recorded and revaluation entries get posted. Also tell them how it impacts not only raw material valuations but also finished and semi finished stock valuations.
Pls assign points if the above clarifies your requirement.

Valuation strategy for Split Valuation.

Dear SAP Experts,
We have split valuation for some of the raw materials.
Whaile running Std Cost estimate system gives following errors even if we have maintained the price under valuation type.
CK465: No price could be determined
CK240: Cost component split costed with value of zero
CK168: Cost estimate for material is Incorrect.
In Valuation varriant we have strategy 7 & 4 (ie price control as per material master & as per planned price). We dont want maintain any planned price.
I would like to know is there any Standard Valuation strategy exist in the valuation variant.
Best Regards
Nikhil

If you have maintained price at valuation type level then to consider them you will have to activate mixed costing for costing type and valuation variant you are using in configuration. You will also need to create a qty structure type for this. Once this is done, you will have to maintain procurement alternatives ( T code CK91N - process category BBV) and maintain mixing ratio (CK94). This will ensure correct costing.
Assign points, if useful.

Valuation Strategy for Sales Order Costing

We are currently using valuated sales order stock in ECC 6.0. The "without valuation strategy field" on the requirements class is not checked. However, the valuation strategy varies for a material and for a sales order. Sometimes it is using valuation strategy 2 - cost from the production order cost estimate - which is desired and other times valuation strategy 3 - cost from the standard price field in the material master - which is not desired. When is the valuation strategy determined for a production order for valuated sales order stock?

Costing Variant is assigned to Requirement class
Requirement class is assigned to Requirement type
Requirement type is assigned to Planning Strategy
Planning strategy is assigned to strategy groups
Strategy group is assigned to MRP3 tab in Material Master
System picks the costing sheet in requirement class
In this way product will be costed for Make to Order sale order costing.

Material Valuation-Easy Cost Planning Using Valuation Strategy U(Userexit)

Hi Experts,
I am implementing a userexit for CJ20N for Valuation Price with Valuation Strategy U: COPCP005, in that i activated the function exit EXIT_SAPLCK21_002 and wrote my logic in that, i want to use project wise material price instead standard price which is stored in a Z table.
For that i need to identify the project ID inside the function exit, i can get it using the input parameter IMP_AUFNR for WBS with Network, for Easy Cost Planning the same exit is triggered but iam not getting the IMP_AUFNR there, so i want to know how to identify the project inside that function exit.
Could someone suggest me a way to find out the Project ID or description or WBS element inside the function exit.
Thanks in Advance.

Valuation strategy 2 rejected by activity valuation

Dear all,
I wish to close the PM order.Balance of the PM order is ZERO.
System displays the error
Valuation strategy 2 rejected by activity valuation
Message no. CK295
Diagnosis
Price strategy 2 is not allowed for the application. It is not possible to find average standard rates with an actual cost estimate.
Kindly suggest any possible solution!
Thanks and regards,
Satyajit

Satyajit,
I'm fairly sure it just cannot find a rate to use that is valid for the time period in which the posting date falls. Long text of your message says:
It is not possible to find average standard rates with an actual cost estimate
Look at KP26 but maybe another transaction. Also check with your CO people.

Valuation Type Issue with STOs

Hello Folks !!
In the client environment Materials are going to be Batch Managed as well as Split Valuated (by Country of Origin "H" Category).
When we create STOs, Valuation Type of the receiving plant is mandatory and it has to be specified up in the STO Order itself. [ According to SAP OSS Note: 66593]
The problem here is the Planner who is creating the STO is not going to know the Valuation Type of the Receiving Plant at the time of creating the STO.
The valuation type of the product will be known only at the time of Shipping. That is, upon delivery creation the Batches will be determined and the Shipping Valuation Type will be known.
Also Note that : If we pick any default valuation type at the time of the STO creation, that is going to create problems at the time of receiving at the receiving plant, because if a different valuation type is shipped than the one mentioned in the STO Order, the system is going to say, that the Batch Valuation Type and the Valuation Type Specified in teh STO are different.
What do you Experts Suggest !! How could this be resolved ??
Cheers

dear experts
we had faced similar issue and done enhancement to substitute Val Type of PDI to PO before GR.
But this has resulted in inconsistency in ML & MCHA.
The Financial & ML entry is posted at the time of PGI (641 mov type) and subsequent change on GR is not correct.
Now we have reverted the enhancement and finding alternative solution.
Some body suggested Automatic PO based on PGI.

Raw material costing - Valuation strategy with info-rec. "L" - Consignment

Hi all,
I want to implement raw material costing for all our raw material.
I created a new costing variant which use strategy "L" (price from purchasing info-record). My sub-strategy is 9 - Effective Price from PO followed by 5 - Effective price from info-record.
Everything works well except for consignment with vendor.
I have a raw that is procured from a vendor. The price for the raw is stored in the purchasing info-record and has condition types associated with it. This PIR is of CONSIGNMENT type. However, When costing the raw in CK11N the price for this consignment material is not pulled into the estimate.
I have seen in note 552486 that "For the valuation with a price from the info record, the system can basically only consider info records with category 'N' (normal) and 'L' (subcontracting). "
Have any of you come accross this situation? if yes, how did you resolve it?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
any other idea about this ? I want to use strategy "L" but want to know if I can make it work with consignment.
Thanks

How system determines Valuation strategy in PP order confirmation.

Hello Experts,
i have maintained in valuation variant for valuation variant 006 and 007 strategies are 1st standard price 2nd moving price and 3rd plan price.
We have maintained two prices in material master one according to price indicator That is V in our case for eg 1000 per ton and other price which is standard price For eg 1200
Now while creation of production order my planned price according to valuation variant 006 is picking 1200 for a ton which is perfect but while doing confirmation and saving my production order system is not picking the strategy defined in 007 which same as 006 and its should pick same 1200 instead of 1000 but not happeninng
kindly reply as soon as possible

Naveen Chawla

HI
The System will take either Standard Price or Variable price but it will not take the values at time even though u maintain both the prices in material master . if its is taking the standard Price than your material may be Semifinshed or Finished good s
For Semifinished & Finished Goods --- Standard price is taken into consideration
For Raw Material - Variable price is taken into consideration ,,,,
Varable price is not consideration of HALB&Fert as in the the priceses are updated by the variable price inthe raq material when we perform Costing Run ...
Hope this may help u

COPA Valuation

I have found out an error in valuation in COPA (due to the +/- Sign in Condition type assignment to Value fields - KE4I) What is the most optimum way of correction of this error.
Should the billing document be reversed and reposted.
Or the fi document should be reposted using KE26.
(in which case i need to modify my pa transfer structure etc)
Regards,
Ravi Rana

Cancel the billing document which will reverse biling and FI. Fix your PA valuation. Then repost the billing document.
pls assign points if helpful as a way to say thanks.
