Cost Analysis Issue

Dear friends,
We are maintaining the Material cost, Maintenance cost everything in INR. So, when the Internal Material cost for any PM order is taken the INR is displayed.
But now if I need the report of all the Internal Costs or any costs in general for PM Orders for a specific period then I find the difference in the cost displayed in Order to that displayed in MCI8 report.
As I understand, MCI8 report is default maintained in EUR but I am actually using the Exchange Rate M for the conversion into INR.
Though, I expect some variation or difference in the cost due to different currency maintenance, but actually the variation am observing is more than 6 -10% .
Please suggest me on how to proceed further.
Thanks a lot!
Prasad Subramanya

Hi,
This means your original currency is INR and analysis currency is EUR which is defaulted in MCI8.
In your case original currency is INR in which the data is updated. Analysis currency is EUR in which the data of the current analysis is displayed.This means the data is automatically converted from INR into the EUR. This conversion happens based on exchange rate type M that is valid on the system date (local date).So conversion happening is based on exchange rate valid on day of analysis and hence you are getting that difference which is right.
You can also carry out the conversion in EUR lateron in the created key figures list. There, you can also change the exchange rate type and the conversion date.
For this you need to first execute report in original currency and then on output you can select icon of Analysis currency(ctrl+F7) where you can define EUR as analysis currency and exchange rate type as M with conversion date and it will convert it accordingly.

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 ?

Hide Amount column in COR3 cost analysis report

Hi Expert,
We need to hide the amount column in COR3 when user go to costs -> analysis. Because we don't want PP user to see the cost informant but the need to see the quantity for actual and plan to make sure goods issue is really complete. Would you please advise how to achive this purpose?
Thanks and Best Regards,

hi gimmo,
thanks for the quick reply. however, i think this is only possible if i am using a structure in my rows, because there i can specifically assign the appropriate calculated key figure to use. i need to use the hierarchy because we'd like to present the report down to the account number level.
thanks

Cost analysis not showing up in production order

Hi All
Preliminary cost analysis is not showing up in the production order...can anyone suggest what could be the possible reason for this

Hi,
Once you issue goods(GI) to order then only you can see actaul cost in cost analysis in Production order.
if you are looking for target cost in cost analysis,you have to post goods receipt(GR) from order to inventory.
hope this helps you.
Thanks,

Double target qty in cost analysis

In one of plant for particular order type, system always saw target qty as double.
Example; confirm qty is 100 kg then system saws target qty as 200 kg in cost analysis of COR3 screen. Actual qty coming correct. Even when I'm checking goods movement for order seing 100 kg for 101 movement. Then why target saws 200 kg. Fyi, there is no change in BOM or recipe from creation date.
Again this issue happens only in 1 plant out of 5 and particular 1 order had this issue.
Can you please help to understand system this behaviour? What could be issue?

Hi Eric,
Please take a look of this thread:
Analyzing Costs on Production Order
This is what Akhil Baluja said:
In your case, the target quantity is double from Plan quantity might be because of in Routing of the material the Base quantity used for calculation of Standard Cost might be double & after the cost estimate has been released it was reduced to correct figure Or the Alternate routing was used while calculating standard Cost & in actual production.
Please check....
Check if this could be your problem.
Kind Regards,
Mariano

Transaction COR3--- Cost Analysis

Dear,
I have an issue with the cost analysis of a process order.
The issue is that the total plan cost for the good receipts are always equal to 0.
The path in order to re-create the case is the following:
1) Launch the transaction COR3
2) Go to >Costs> Analysis
3) Choose a variant that allows to display the good receipt cost
Thanks in advance
Vittoria

hi
please check whether the components used are having price updated
pelase check whether the workcenter used are having activity type and cost maintained to have the planned cost.

Cost analysis -reg

Hi,
I have on eissue.
In the production order cost analysis screen, some Components line items are repeating twice.
eg.
1.Component A Plan qty : 5 Actual Qty
2.Component A Plan qty : 0 Actual Qty :5
Normally it will happen only if Component A is consumed in unplanned way ( without reservation)
But My case is posting happened with reservation.
Can you tell me what could be the reason for repeating.

Hi,
I solved the issue, It is happening due to splitvaluation.

FM to find out the total cost/cost analysis of each production order

hi Friends,
Im on report development to list out Production Order Costing analysis. Where Iam using table of AFKO, AUFK and COSS, in that COSS table is for Cost Totals for Internal Postings which is taking too much time as performance issue to fetch the records as per my select condition (which is given below) for even my date period range is a day or two.
select * from coss INTO TABLE IT_COSS FOR ALL ENTRIES IN IT_AUFK WHERE OBJNR EQ IT_AUFK-OBJNR AND VRGNG
EQ 'RKL'.
Is there any FM available where I can get my values through the object number of each production order? or is any other way to derive my requirement?
Please advise.

Hi Sankar,
Try this.
For production order nos. - AUFK or AFKO
For production order status - JEST & to know the status eg REL etc, refer TJ02
For costs - COSS & COEP (Pass order nos. to the field OBJNR as OR followed by 12 digit order number)
Add this logic.
{*IF NOT it_aufk[] IS INITIAL.
    SORT it_aufk BY aufnr.
    DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM it_aufk COMPARING aufnr.
    SELECT * FROM coss INTO TABLE it_coss
               FOR ALL ENTRIES IN it_aufk
               WHERE objnr EQ it_aufk-objnr
                 AND vrgng EQ 'RKL'.
ENDIF.*}
Hope the above helps.
Regards,
Vijay

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.

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.
IC

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.

Hendry Wijaya

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.
Best regards,
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

To develop Z-Report related to Cost Analysis as in COR3

Hi,
I am trying to develop a Z-Report similar to Cost analysis as in COR3, I just want to know the tables where actually the Planned Qty,Planned Cost,Actual Qty,Actual Cost are getting stored.My requirement is to run it for Multiple Orders with some more fields to add on(for eg. Accounting Document).Please help.
Regards,
Sandeep

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
