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

  • 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.

  • 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".
    sapians

    Hi,
    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).
    Meena

    Thnx 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/Lavanya

    If 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,

  • Dynamic & Static Cost Allocation Factor (CAF)

    Hi,
    What is the difference between Dynamic and Static Cost Allocation Factor ?
    And is there any way to calculate the CAF automatically according to the Actual Product Yield ?
    Thank you.

    Ahmed,
    Static CAF allocates the cost on Co products based on the cost allocation % entered in batch material details. {Its ideally the same as in Prod batch formula but you can manually change it also here).
    Dynamic CAF is allocates the cost on Co products based on the total yield of each product. Factor is calculated as (yield of each product / Total Yield). Then you distribute the costs taking factor of each Co product.
    You will understand it better on excel. Work it out.

  • Short Dump while executing costing run or production orders

    Hi Guys,
    While executing the costing run or production orders saving, we are getting short dump.  it is the debugging is showing its fingers at A035 which is related to maintenance of overhead rates.
    We have maintained the overhead rates correctly. There is no issue.
    This could be some thing related to OSS notes as well.
    Just wanted to know if it has got something to do with OSS notes or something else.
    Please throw some light in this regard
    Thanks in advance

  • Use of template using CPT1 for charging an additional cost to the product

    Hello,
    I'm trying to charge an additional cost burden to the cost of my product for every base unit produced. (cost estimate)
    I have created a template using transaction CPT1 with sender as Cost Center / Activity Type in environment 001
    The activity type is measured in EA (Eaches) while we make our product in boxes (Product base unit of measure is 'Boxes') with say 20 Eaches going into a Box
    I have maintained an activity price using transaction KP26 at say $0.55 per Each
    I have assigned this template to my costing sheet , valuation area and overhead key using transaction KTPF
    When I now cost the material for costing lot size of a 1000 boxes, it still charges the product with the activity price per Each ($0.55) instead of multiplying  $0.55*20*1000 = $11,000 for a 1000 boxes
    The formula I have chosen in the template against 'Plan quantity ' is in the attachment enclosed:
    I need help with doing the right thing within the template to make it give a cost burden of $11000 for every 1000 boxes costed (costing lot size)

    Didn't realize that you have to use transaction CPTD to charge template overhead to production orders. That's why it was not working. Now it is posting by reading the confirmed yield. But it is still not converting eaches to boxes using the conversion factor in the material master.
    The formula I'm currently using in the template for actual quantity is as under:
    OrderYieldConfirmed / AltQtyFactorFromMaterial( AlternativeQuantityUnit
    = 'BX', Material = OrderMaterialNumber )
    Please tell me what I need to do to the above formula to make it convert boxes to eaches using conversion factor in the material master?
    A similar formula has worked beautifully for 'cost estimate'
    OrderTotalQuantity / AltQtyFactorFromMaterial( AlternativeQuantityUnit =
    'BX', Material = OrderMaterialNumber )

  • Selection of Costing Sheet in Production Order

    Hi friends,
    I have one query, details of which are as  follows.
    Costing sheet in Requirement Class - Blank
    This requirement class assigned to Requirement type which was derived in Sales order through Material master and hence Costing sheet in Sales order is blank.
    Costing Sheet in Valuation variant (Plan) is Z0010 which is assigned to Costing Variant (Plan). It was assigned to Order type.
    Costing sheet in Valuation variant (Actual) is Z0020 which is assigned to Costing variant (Actual). It was assigned to Order type.
    I have created a new Valuation variant T01 in which Costing sheet is blank. It was assigned to a Particular Plant.
    When i am creating the Production order with reference to the Sales order in that Particular plant, system is deriving the Costing sheet as per Valuation variant (Plan) which is common instead of picking from the plant specific valuation variant.
    So, its calculating overheads and is impacting our Goods receipt valuation (In this plant, GR Valuation is as per Plan cost of the Production order).
    I tried different combinations, and finally observed that it is picking the Costing sheet from the valuation variant (Plan) which is common and not Plant specific.
    Is this system behavior correct as per SAP Standard?
    Kindly advise on the same
    Regards
    Madhusekhar Gupta G

    Hi Madhu
    1. Production order gets coating sheet from the valuation variant assigned to order type
    2. The valuation variant that you assign to Plant is for standard cost estimate only
    3. For your case, create a new costing variant without costing sheet and assign the same to the order type for this plant
    You can assign different costing variant to the same order type per plant

  • Cost  of finished product repetitive manufacturing

    Hi,
    My clients produces 5 different finshed products always. I want to map the scenario in Repetitive manufacturing.
    Is it possible in REM to get the actual cost of production of 5 products separately?? fir example can i get cost of finished product 1 as Rs200, in the month of Jan2009 for 10 quantity, cost of finished product 2 in the month of Jan2009 for 5 quantity etc etc .
    Regards.

    Thanks to all for their valuable inputs.
    Dear Mangalraj: Its really a challenge for me to decide whether to go for REM or not. The reason why I am not going for discrete is :
    1. Client doesnt know how much of ( for example) fertilizers it issues for finished 1 or finished 2 . client says he  knows that in a month how much he has used  for example 100 kg of fertilizers in total, not on basis of finished goods. So, i think i will have problem during BOM creation and goods issue in particular.
    2. Since finished products are rose plants, jasmine plants etc, client says i dont how much to do Goods reciept. few plants may still be not ready to be able to do goods reciept.Client says its very difficult for me to count flower plants everyday and then say out of 1000, 10 are ready to be done Goods reciept and 15 are dead so these should be scrapped etc.
    These are the resons why i thought it to map to REM. But client also wants to know price of each plant , means whats the price of rose plant(per plant), price of jasmine plant( per plant).
    Request you all to throw some light on this..
    Regards.

  • Msg. error BK048 for manual cost allocation

    Hi,
    we got a warning message for manual cost allocation (KB15N), when posting this allocation just with a quantity and without an amount. We would like to post this allocation without amount and therefore need to change the message type from warning (W) to information (I), to do this posting.
    When using transaction OBA5, there is just a fixed and not adjustable value for Standard with "W". Do you know any workarounds or how we can change this message type to do this posting?
    Regards
    Florian

    Hi Florian,
    HAve you assigned users in OBA5?.
    Go to OBMSG, for this particular Message number in the allowed message types, specify IWE etc. In the standard column specify I. Also you could check on check box "Switch Off" if you want to have the option of not seeing the message at all.
    Now goto OBA5, against the message number, in the "Online" column , specify I or - (Switch Off) and do the same in the BAtchl column also.
    Now you need too specify a user only if you want this change for specific users , if you want all the users to be able to post manual cost allocation then do not specify any user name.
    Do tell me if it works.
    Regards

  • Cost center for Production Order

    Hi all,
         We are now not able to get a report of Material consumption cost, Cost center wise. It is Because cost center is not linked to Production order or not linked to material issued to production order. Can we get the cost of material cosumption for  production order cost center wise. Please give us a solution.
    With Regards,
    R.Mahendiran.

    Hi,
         Prod order is linked with controlling, for the direct costs like material cost linked with accounting view, costing view and secondary costs are linked with costing tab in work center and inturn workcenter is assigned to cost center, and for the prod order controlling part you will be assigned to the costing variant in transaction OPL8, if you remove this you can't get any reports.
    To understand the difference
    201 - Goods issue against cost center. Means you create reservation through MB21 and do posting of cost directly at cost center.
    261 - Goods issue to Production order. Means you create a reservation through Production order  and do posting of cost to Production order. When cost settlement of production order is done cost from production order will get transfered to cost center mentioned in settlement rule of production order.
    Hope this clarifies your doubt.
