Cost Allocation by Product & Customer in Financials Profitability Analytics
Hi,
The Fiancials Profitability Analytics have reports on Profitability by product & customer. How are the various costs & operating expenses like marketing, sales, service & other expenses allocated to individual products & customer in Oracle BI Applications? What is the source of these tables in the ware house?
Any help on the above query will be highly appreciated.
Regards
I can think of a number of Oracle apps that might be helpful. Contact your apps salesperson and invite them to come in and give you a "song and dance."
Specifically ask about BAM (Business Activity Monitoring).

Cost Allocation to Product.
Hello,
Our client is using 'Template Allocation' to distribute 'Manufacturing support cost' (Activity type - M_SUPP) to Process orders. The 'Plan Quantity' is derived using formula ' Order Total Quantity - Order Total scrap quantity' with unit base as 'AU'.
Based on this the Manufacturing support cost is getting distributed @ per Kg basis of the Process order created. Client is not very happy with the outcome of result as few Process orders are getting allocated with very huge cost for which it has not received used the support.
It would be advisable to use allocation on the basis of RUN TIME, but Environment '009' used for Process order template allocation, doesnot provides and field to build a formula to get RUN TIME.
Can you gurus put in your thought on this and advice if anything is possible to get the allocation done on RUN TIME basis? If any more information is needed kindly let me know.
Points would be rewarded.
Best Regards.HI Balaji bhau
1. Create an assessment cycle in KEU1 and execute it from KEU5
2. In this cycle, you can choose basis of allocation like Sales Qty or Sales revenue etc.. These 2 are readily available in COPA
In case you want to use any other basis, you will have to create a Value field and upload the qty into it using KE21N... This will then serve the same purpose as SKF
3. In your cycle segments, you can use one single assessment cost element or you can use an allocation structure where in you can map primary cost elements to assessment cost ele (T code OKO6)
4. Similarly, you can specify one single value field or use a PA transfer structure... In your case, you would have to use PA trf str because you would like to see elec, salary separately in COPA

Costs of the product calculation lack in the profitability analysis
Hello there,
A group of students and I are currently working on a SAP project which is about to implement a full cost accounting in the SAP system (ERP). At first we used a case study reading (Friedl,Hilz,Pedell), some important components for calculating the products like u201Ccosting sheetu201D, u201Ccost component structureu201D and u201Ccosting variantu201D do exist already.
For our project we had to insert an additional primary cost center. For that reason we also added new components (the above given ones). After that the costs for our products could be calculated in the right way. We also booked supplies and stated the quantity of sales. Our problem is that the Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) does not show any costs of our cost centers (material input, manufacturing costs, overhead costs) only the earnings. We did not add any u201Cattributesu201D, u201Cderivation rulesu201D or u201Cvalue fieldsu201D but fulfilled all requirements in the Customizing menu (u201CAssign costing key to productu201D, u201CAssign costing key to productu201D, u201CAssign value fields for cost component structureu201D).
The first time when we used the case study reading and therefore another company code everything worked fine. We think that the problem might be that the costing key is not attached to the products.
Thank you for any help and suggestions,
Kind regards!In the same area as where you assign the costing key to the product, there is also an entry where you need to define the costing key. You don'tr mention that you have done that.
In the user menu for Profitability Analysis, there are also a lot of tcodes that will help you investigate the flows of values and derivation of characteristics. They are very helpful in most cases. -
Allocation of cost from service cost center to production cost center
Dear sir ,
Will I use to distribute the cost from service department to production department and that cost centers also using for activity planing will get currect result in product costing ?Hello,
Can you clarify what you want to do ?
Allocation of cost from service cost centers to production cost centers can be done with the help of Assessment / Distribution cycles and you can do a activity planning using the same costs as well. The steps for activity planning would be as under:
1. Create primary cost planning in the service and production cost centers (KP06)
2. Create activity planning in the production cost centers (KP26) without any rate
3. Run assessment / distribution cycles to transfer cost from the service cost centers to production cost centers (KSUB / KSVB), in case you are not transferring based on activity quantity then also do SKF planning in KP46
4. Run plan cost splitting in case you have more then one activity type (do config for splitting structure beforehand) (KSS4)
5. Calculate Plan price for the production cost center activity types (KSPI)

Percentage based overhead based on target cost of actual production
Hello,
I'm trying to calculate percentage overhead (overhead as a % of total cost of production) using the usual overhead group, overhead key ,costing sheet, etc.
Also put the overhead group in the material master.
Although I am getting it correctly as part of product cost planning, when it comes to calculating this overhead on a production order, it does it based on 'total actual costs' posted to the order. I want it to calculate the % overhead based on the standard cost of actual production (the target cost).
I would really appreciate some help on this.Hi
If that's the requirement, you can achieve through template allocation. Refer the doc contributed by arturo senosain
I use a workaround for such cases. Add an activity type in routing with activity quantity same as base qty of routing.. Say, 1 PC
Maintain the activity price as .15. And you are done

Cost center to production order
hi friends
i have material cost on a cost centere A, i want to allocate thru assessment cycle from cost center to production orders. when i enter production order nummbers in ksu1 in allocation cycle as receiver, system give an error that it is "No valid receiver enteries exist".
sapiansHi,
You have to check two things before executing this assessment cycle.
1. Check the allocation structure whether you have assigned the assessment cost element and
settlement of cost element to ORD (ticked in by cost element box).
2. In KSU7 you have filled the allocation structure field and received field and tracing factors.
Have a check of the cycle before saving.

Cost allocation on basis on quantity produced
Hello Experts,
I want to allocate overhead cost from different cost centers to production cost centers. This allocation must be done on the basis of quantity manufactured.
Please let me know, if this is possible by any means (say for example: assessment and distribution cycle).
MeenaThnx Rajneesh and Ajay,
Me and my colleague executed it and we got it.
But I have following issue. Please help.
In our case, there are 20 FGs (it means 20 production cost center i.e. 20 receivers). Now out of these 20, we want to trf cost only to 15 FGs. Hence there will be only 15 cost centers as receivers. (Reason being: 5 FGs are pertaining to other plant for which CO is not being implemented).
Senders will be 45 cost centers. Total value of all 45 cost centers is Rs. 90 Crores. But this 90 crores is pertaining to entire 20 FG. Hence system should proportionately transfer for 15 cost centers only.
Remaining amount for balance 5 cost centers should not get transferred. Is it possible to achieve? -
Multiple Cost Allocation Structures in Single Business Group
We are curently looking at solution design of creating multiple Cost
allocation flexfield in single business group environment.
Purpose :
Based on organization structure (18 companies) , the finance
consultants proposed multiple COA structures with different
valuesets , wherein values sets will be specific to the companies .
This was suggested inorder to aviod tedious job of defining
validations and post production support.
This has impact on payroll solution design wrt to cost allocation FF ,
where in we have to define multiple structures to map to Accounting
FFs.
Woudl like to check if oracle payroll supports this kind of setups.
Note :The implementation is for UAE localization.
Rgds/LavanyaIf Finance System has multiple COA structures with different valuesets , wherein values sets will be specific to the companies then they will seperating cosing on Various OU Level.
As my understanding, you have to create multiple Business Group as per multiple COA structures .

Cost allocation without a fixed %
Hi SAP Gurus,
I have a peculiar query. My client would like to allocate costs (in Controlling) on varying percentages every period. For example on the basis of the % of COGS to Sales of the products. Though the method of calculating this % will stay the same, the percentage per se will change every period.
Can this be done in SAP Controlling?
Thanks & Regards,

Customs Allocation Account and Customs Expense Account
Hi All,
Can any one tell me what is the use of Customs allocation Account and Customs Expense Account.
When and where these accounts will be used.
If possible provide with examples of journal entry.
Regards
ShashiHi,
Custom allocation iaccount are used with the landed cost.
It's defined in Setup > Inventory > Custom Group. You will have to define both the Custom allocation account and the Custom Expense account. On the Item Master Data, the custom group is found on the Purchasing tab.
In Purchasing/AP > Landed cost, if the field Custom Affects Inventory is checked then your custom allocation account will be credited and the inventory account will be debited (inventory value goes up).
If the field Custom Affects Inventory is unchecked, the custom allocation account will still be credited but the custom expense account will be debited instead.
Hope this help

Dear Experts,
i need to adjust a report, so it shows the cost allocation for each monetary value.
I have the (cluster-?)tables RT, C1, C0, WPBP. Is there a function call to merge the cost allocations in C1/C0/WPBP to the belonging wagetypes in RT?
Best Regards,
DanielI'm not sure if the Cost Center Report (t-code PC00_MNA_CC_ADM) could meet your requirements, but you will probably require a custom report (ABAP).
You could also look into getting Easy Reporter (from spinifexIT) as their reporting tool can easily merge data comming from the Payroll Results Cluster Tables, or from different sources such as the FI/CO Transfer data, from OM/PA/Time, etc... -
Cost Allocation to Assets at a Task
Consider the following scenario
In Project A ,
Asset Cost Allocation Method = Spread Evenly
Group Method = Expenditure Type
An Asset A1 is created and assigned to the Task T1
Accumlate the CIP cost at Task 1
Then Run the Process "PRC: Generate Asset Lines for a Single Project"
When the process is finished the asset lines are generated and cost lines are assigned to asset A1.
Then Run the Process "PRC: Interface Assets to Oracle Assets" so the Asset A1 is interfaced to
Oracle FA
In Oracle FA RUn "Post Mass Addition
Next month a new Asset A2 is created and assigned to the Task T1
Accumlate the new CIP cost at Task 1
When the process is finished the asset lines are generated and cost lines are assigned to Asset A1
and Asset A2.
So why the new cost is assigned to both Assets A1 and A2. A1 is already assigned to the interfaced
to Oracle FA.
Can't we achieve that the new cost only to Asset A2 which is not interfaced to Oracle FA and not to
Asset A1.
Regards,Hi
In case there are many projects , tasks and assets, consider using the client extensions available for capital projects.
You can develop the custom code for automatically generating assets in one client extension, and utilize the other extension to group costs into the relevant asset based on your own company logic.

Difference Btw Secondary cost allocation and activity allocation
Hi All
Can anyone let me understand what is the difference between Secondary cost allocation, activity allocation and direct cost allocation? I will be thank full if some one elaborate it with practical example.

Hi,
Can someone explain what is the difference between cost allocation and accounting flexfields.
Cost Allocation Flexfield is used in Payroll and Account flexfields are used in Financials. Basic difference is that you may want to charge to the same GL number even though the cost is coming from two different cost centers. Like say Overtime and Regular Hours Costs.
But it is always recommended that you use the same value sets for the common segments
For instance let us say an employee A is assigned to a payroll P and the employee has a default code comibination(i.e the accounting flexfield) information. Now all the costs incurred on this employee will go to the accounts defined in the accounting flexfield. It will not automatically go to the accounting flexfields but you have to map cost allocation flex with GL Flex and then run the transfer process.
let us know if it explained your doubts or not.
