Cost Analysis Differences - IW39 Vs MCI8

Dear Friends
When I analyse the Total Actual Cost using IW39 for all the orders [ even by Equipments specific] I see a difference Total actual cost obtained under MCI8. Could you please let me know why this differences are observed and any specific reasons to the same?
Regards
Prasad

hi
in MCI8 the report is based on the period whereas in IW39 the report is based on orders.if your order has been posted in different period then this will occur, system will distribute the amount in the respective periods
Kindly refer[Cost Distribution on Time Axis and in PMIS/SMIS |http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_02/helpdata/en/eb/4247a908b811d5962200a0c93029cf/content.htm]

How can Cost Analysis MCI8 become datasource?

We have implemented in R/3:
Cost Analysis MCI8 (S115 info structure/table) and
Location Analysis MCI3 (S061 info structure/table).
We now want to extract this info and upload into BW.
The structures do not appear in the list in transaction LBW0 (Connect of LIS Info Structures to SAP BW).
Is there a standard datasource that I just can not locate or do I just define my own generic datasource and define table S115 as the extraction?
Thx, Leanne

Cost Analysis MCI8

Dear All,
I've assigned value categories to cost key figures in spro settings of Information sysytem for plant maintenance and customer service-->Assign value categories to maintenance cost key figures
and executed cost analysis of equiment and I'm able to get only actual cost and planned cost but not material cost,internal labour cost and service cost.
Can any body throws light on this..
Thanks in Advance
Johnson

Hi Johnson,
You should first verify that costs analysis is correct in the orders. After making customizing changes, run program RIPMCO00 to update order costs. You can test with a single order.
To recalculate cost data in Info Structures you can then also run RIPMS001. For report MCI8 the relevant structure S115.

Authorization control for cost analysis/itemization view

Hi Experts,
Can we control the access to cost analysis/itemization report in CO03 by authorization control ?
Thanks

Hi,
Most probably it may not be possible.
moreover, Why do you want this? Cost analysis will be in display mode only. Infact it benefits the user. They can analyse and correct the master if required.
Think once again before making control. Because, everytime people has to come to authorised person to see the cost difference, which will disturb the authorised person.
This is my personal opinion.

Understanding Target Cost Version Differences for 0 and 1 for process order

Our client need to understand the differences between our target cost versions that are utilized in calculating the process order CO03 cost analysis. When should each target version be used and why do the variances change? See example below.
Target Version = 1 Target Cost Prelim Order Cost Estimate
Version = 0 Target Cost for Prod Variances
Can you please provide analysis and help me on this.
I higly appreciate for your help.
Thanks in advance.

I recommend that you post this in CO forum.

Cost Analysis result different from the cost estimate quantity structure re

Hi
Cost Analysis result different from the cost estimate quantity structure result in the same costing
run why this happen like this. ( in CK40N costing run result -- Cost analysis -- double click on costing result it shows cost estimate quantity structure result values different from cost analysis value )
Pls advice....
Regards
Kesharika

It depends on your costing variant. For sample, if you take the price in the 1° price estimated on the material view and this data has changed, you can have a difference between the first and the second estimate.
Perhaps also, it's just a definition of layout.
And 3rd hypothesis : you are looking on component in the ck40n and the variant don't take in account your cost component and just the material price.

Cost Analysis by Sale Order

Hello,
I'm seeking to enable in BI a Cost Analysis Scenario with repect to the Sales Orders. That is, something similar to the analysis you can easily perform in the R/3 area Accounting -> Controlling -> Product Cost Controlling -> Product Cost by Sales Order.
For instance in standard report KKBC_KUN, you can choose a sales order number and get all the cost elements related to that sales order, with the corresponding costs.
I have examined the following objects provided by the BW's Business Content:
- InfoCube 0PC_C01: it contains only the costs related to production orders, and not the costs associated with sales orders.
- InfoSource 0CO_OM_CCA_9: it seems interesting, in fact it delivers some header and line item data of the Controlling Object Document. Unfortunately it doesn't deliver the crucial characteristics Controlling Object and Controlling Object Type, which I definitly need for enabling my analysis scenario!!
(By the way, are these 2 characteristics delivered by the BC? There exists a 0COSTOBJ characteristic, but it's not used by any object in the flow afterwards. Moreover, I can't find a standard DataSource in R/3 which I can use to load either its attributes or its texts, and see what data enter it..)
Business Content for Product Cost by Sales Order), but none could help me.
It seems really weird that it's not possible to carry out a Cost Analysis by Sales Order in BW, so if anyone has some suggestion it'll be very appreciated indeed.
Thanks & Regards, Davide

I eventually found the following SAP Note. No BCT for this analysis scenario....
Note 584791 - BW-BCT-CO: Costs not extracted on sales orders
Symptom
In R/3, costs are posted directly to sales orders. The costs have to be analyzed in the BW system. In the standard system, however, this data is not extracted into the BW system.
Other terms
0CO_OM_OPA_1; 0CO_OM_OPA_6
Solution
1. There are currently no DataSources for costs on sales orders in the standard BW Business Content. Unfortunately, there are currently no resources scheduled for a new development in this area either.
2. Therefore, the DataSources and the Business Content must be created in the customer project within the framework of consulting as a customer solution concerning the generic extraction options of the BW Service APIs or function modules you have programmed yourself for extracting data.
3. Technical background information about costs on sales orders:
The transaction data is available in the following R/3 tables
COSS and COSP - Totals records or COEP - Line items.
This concerns records for the VB* object numbers.
The master data of the sales orders is contained in the VBAK and VBAP tables.
The 0CO_OM_OPA_1 and 0CO_OM_OPA_6 DataSources only extract costs for orders with master data in the AUFK table. These types of requests always have OR* object numbers. Therefore, these DataSources cannot be used for sales orders.
However, you may be able to assign requests from the AUFK table (for example, maintenance orders or production orders) to a sales order through the AUFK-KDAUF table field.

Process Order Cost Analysis Target and Actual Quantity Missing

This is related to Process order costing .
Issue : Before activating Material Update field in Costing view 1 of Material master , we have created few process orders and Delivered .
Hence cost analysis shows Actual and target cost fields Empty in COST ANALYSIS report of order . After Updating field in Material master , New Process orders are calculated with Actual and Target cost .
Solution needed : How to do Actual and Target cost estimation back in cost analysis report for old process orders which are created before Material Update field ?

You have deleted the Component in the BoM.
Then you have created a production order, check if the start date of this order is after the date change in the BoM..... Can be that the component stills exists in the order ? Have you tried deleting the compoent in the order BoM ?

Cost Analysis Report - For a range of process orders

Dear all,
Is there a standard report available to get the cost analysis for a range of process order? COR3 --> Go to --> Cost --> Analysis. Here I can see the cost analysis for one report. But I wanted to get the cost analysis report for a range of process orders. Please help.
Thanks
Nagarajan

Dear
You can use cost analysis report like
1.S_ALR_87099932 - Variances Between Costing Runs
2.S_ALR_87099931 - Price vs Cost Estimate
3.S_ALR_87099932 - Variances Between Costing Runs

Production Order Cost Analysis - Goods Receipt

I have been assigned to create analysis of production orders. I need to show the volume variance as well as the cost variance using both the initial planned costs as well as the actual costs when the production order is completed. All this information is available in COR3 on cost analysis, but I need to allow for display of multiple orders based on plant and date information.
I have found that the ingredients are in the table RESB with most of the information that I need, I have not had luck in finding what table has the goods receipt information (produced product). SAP help says that the fields are in KKBCS_OUT, which is a structure that I can't find where populated from.
I would appreciate any assistance in this endeavor.
Thanks
Steven M Engel

Thanks for the suggestions, but they have not provided me with what I think I need to give a solution to my superiors.
I will attempt to clarify what I need to do. We are a manufacturing facility. We have a BOM that says to make 10 E, I need 3 A, 2 B, 3 C, and 4 D. Each of the components (A to D) have a set cost at the time the production order is created, this looks to be saved as part of the planned cost in RESB. Produced product E also has a planned cost at time production order created (as seen by COR3) but that is not stored in RESB.
At production time we actually use 2.5 A, 2.5 B, 3 C, and 5 D to make the 10 E. COR3 cost analysis is showing me the cost variance. This cost variance has two parts, part 1 is because the quantities of the inputs are different. Part 2 is because between the time the production order was created, and the production order was finished, the costs of A to E may have changed.
I need to breakout the different components to show management how much of the total cost variance is attributed to each part. I need a report that management can run (or have run) that will allow them choose by plant, date, end product, etc. so they can direct what changes need to be made to costing, pricing, and BOMs.
I hope that I have laid out what I am trying to do in a coherent manner. Also I am new to the SAP system with less than 1 year using the system.
Thanks for your time.

Cost analysis through Purchase Order created from Sales Order

Hi Experts,
This is the scenario: There is an Item No. which is not stocked in warehouse and is purchased only when customers ask for it. The cost of the sales order line having this item is calculated by the Purchase Order line on which the item is there. (The PO have items for other Sales Orders as well. And, Sales Orders have multiple item types) The Sales Order have the PO no. against it and Purchase Order has SO no. against the line. This is all done using MS Access and Sage Accounts. Lots of free typing and manual cost analysis involved.
I have gathered from this forum that we can create Purchase Order from the Sales Order. The Document No. information can be pulled from one another using Formatted Search. Can we do the accounting and cost analysis as well?
Please let me know if I have not made myself clear.
Thank you in advance and kind regards.

Hi Ian,
I concur with Faraz, it is better if you use procurement document facility in doing back to back transaction from SO to PO.
However, in your case, I'm afraid you can't analyze the gross profit and recording the accounting related activity as your request using standard SAP B1 function.
As for gross profit case:
Since you're actually using workaround in order to evade all hassles in maintaining all item master data related to this case, you create just one item code called S1 right?
SO DocEntry - SO Line # - Item Code - Item Name - Quantity - Price
1001 - 0 - S1 - Table - 2 - 100
1001 - 1 - S1 - Chair - 8 - 25
1001 - 2 - S1 - Cloth - 3 - 10
PO # - PO Line # - PO BaseEntry (SO DocEntry) - PO BaseLine (SO Line #) - Item Code - Item Name - Quantity - Price
2001 - 0 - 1001 - 0 - S1 - 2 - 100
2001 - 1 - 1001 - 1 - S1 - 8 - 25
2001 - 2 - 1001 - 2 - S1 - 3 - 10
Note that standard B1 gross profit calculation is that system will compare selling price for each item with item cost / certain price list of each respective item. However, in your case, you put all item as a single item master. Thus, system couldn't compare Table to Table, Chair to Chair, Cloth to Cloth since the item cost for these 3 items will be the same, the price list for these 3 items will also be the same since it is actually only one master data. Of course you could update the gross profit calculation manually for each SO, but to be honest it seems rather weird to do this manually.
So, in order to simulate the gross profit calculation, you need to create a custom query and comparing PO line no with SO line no.
As far as accounting related recording concern, I'm afraid you can't do it
1. SO 1 : Item Table - Selling price 130 ; Item Chair - Selling price 30
2. PO 1 (linked to SO 1) : Item Table - Purchase price 100 ; Item Chair - Purchase price 25
3. SO 2 : Item Table - Selling price 150 ; Item Chair - Selling price 40
4. PO 2 (linked to SO 2) : Item Table - Purchase price 110 ; Item Chair - Purchase price 30
Correct me if I'm wrong, you want to record accounting wise that CoGS of Delivery based on SO 1 is 100 for Table and 25 for Chair, isn't it? No matter what costing method you use, you can't achieve this.
If you use moving average, system will average both Table and Chair cost price, since it is actually one item master data. Even if you distinguish each item as a master data, system will average the cost price for Table and Cloth by the time GR for PO 1 and PO 2 occurred.
Example (order by sequence of event):
1. GR based on PO 1 - Table - Purchase price = 100, therefore Item cost = 100
2. GR based on PO 2 - Table - Purchase price = 110, therefore Item cost = 105 (considering quantity only one for both PO)
3. Delivery based on SO 1 - Table - CoGS incurred will be 105, not 100
To certain extent, same thing could be said with FIFO costing method
1. GR based on PO 1 - Table - Purchase price = 100 (qty 1)
2. GR based on PO 2 - Table - Purchase price = 110 (qty 1)
3. Delivery based on SO 1 - Table - CoGS incurred will be 100 (qty 1)
4. Delivery based on SO 2 - Table - CoGS incurred will be 110 (qty 1)
At first glance, it seems right since the CoGS for SO 1 is 100, tied up with purchase price for PO 1. And CoGS for SO 2 is 110, tied up with purchase price for PO 2. But we're using assumption here, we're assuming the sequence of Goods Receipt of PO and Delivery of SO occurred in the very same sequence as the issuance of SO and PO.
1. GR based on PO 1 - Table - Purchase price = 100 (qty 1)
2. GR based on PO 2 - Table - Purchase price = 110 (qty 1)
3. Delivery based on SO 2 - Table - CoGS incurred will be 100 (qty 1)
4. Delivery based on SO 1 - Table - CoGS incurred will be 110 (qty 1)
If above scenario / sequence that happened, you will get the wrong figure of gross profit since the Delivery of SO 2 will take the item cost based on GR of PO 1. Since we're actually talking about real life business process, who can guarantee that above scenario wouldn't happen? It is possible that you send goods to customer who ordered late in real life, too much possibility that it is better for you to mitigate such result.
My suggestion would be that you record the accounting transaction based on standard business process, no need to really capture the actual cost and actual gross profit for certain SO and PO. Too complicated, and the software itself doesn't cater this kind of requirement. Best thing you could do only create custom query for gross profit simulation calculation, but for very accurate accounting recording, IMO you should forget it. Hope this help.

Runtime error in kob5, kob1 and line items display in Cost Analysis in ko03

Hello everyone,
I would like to ask for your expert advice on a situation we need to have a solution. Let me tell you what happened.
In ko88, we tried to settle an internal order to a final asset using 'partial capitalization'. We encountered an error 'Settlement amount is greated than available amount'. I checked in kob5 and we have two line items: 90,000 and 30,000. Both have to be settled to three different final assets namely asset 1, asset 2 and asset 3. The settlement rule was as follows at first:
Line 1: 90,000 to be settled to asset 1, asset 2 and asset 3 at 65,000; 40,000 and 15,000, respectively.
Line 2: 30,000 to be settled to asset 1, asset 2 and asset 3 at 65,000; 40,000 and 15,000, respectively.
Due to the error, we changed the settlement rule following these directions:
1. Remove the settlement rules that we had so we can start anew.
2. Choose the first line item and click on "Final Settlement".
3. Enter the necessary settlement details (total should equal to 90,000 only).
4. Go back and save.
5. Choose the second line item and click on "Final Settlement".
6. Enter the necessary settlement details (total should equal to 30,000).
7. Go back and save.
8. Then, check again the distribution rules set.
Everything was saved and done correctly. So, we tried to do ko88 this time. But, the previous error 'Settlement amount is greated than available amount' still occured.
I went back to kob5 and when I ran it, a runtime error occured. I went to see the actual line items in kob1, and I encountered the same runtime error. I went to see in ko03>cost analysis>the actual debit line items, and I encountered the same runtime error. Were my actual line items lost? How do I retrieve them?
Thanks in advance.

Peter

hi,
check in SAP OSS with the message number you get is there any SAP Notes tobe applied.

Not able to see the Cost analysis in the Process order (T-Code COR2).

Hi SAP Guru's
Csoting in the Process order Configuration.
I have done the Config setting related to the Product Costing Controlling with regard to the
Cost Sheet, Cost Componet Structure.Overheads, asssigning the Cost elements in the Costing sheet.
assigned the same in the Process order.
And also the Costing variant options seen in OPL1 t-code can not be displayed in the Process order Csoting Variant selection.
where as the in the Costing variant for the cost component structure, i can see the Xompany code with required plant details.
looking the costing alanysis data in Process order, unable to see

Hi,
If you are looking at cost analysis. You will get this only some you do confirmations to the production or process Order.
I hope you did confirmation of material and quantities to the Process Order

For finding out the tables.
use st05> activate the trace> then come back COR3 then execute the same . after showing the output--> go back st05 and deactivate the trace and then use list trace. There you can all tables used in COR3

How to get Cost element for a component in co03 cost analysis report

Hi,
I'm using table COSP to find the quantity for a production order component. However, I need to identify the cost element first to get the unique data. In CO03 cost analysis report, there is cost element for the component. Does anyone know how to get it ?
Thanks.

CSKA stores the basic info about the cost element
There is no data in CSKB.
I'm trying to use different tables to get the cost element.
AUFK, AFKO, AFPO, RESB, ...but no luck...
