Cost collector settlement

We are having huge amt in settlement at every month end. We use cost collector as the cost object and backflush process. The huge settlement amt is because of some raw materials not being backflushed to finished goods and some times it is because of the missing activities costs. All these contribute to the difference in cost collector and shows up in settlement. I want to know if there is a way to know if  the amt difference in a cost collector is because of material being missed or activites missed during backflush? As there are lot of materials it is hard for me to research on each material. so i am looking for a easy way.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Ur raw material are converted in to finished good but because of some missing in contribution of
cost activities u are not converting the material in to FInished goods right
so u can create some text message for the missing Materials in document header
are in the text where ever u mention the text so when u executing the  material list
u can sort it out by the text and identify the missing ones.
Regards,
Padma

  • REM - Cost Collector Settlement and transfer order price

    Hi,
    My client is using REM. They create planned orders in their distribution centre and through special procurement manufacture the orders in a seperate manufacturing site. There is no stock transport orders the goods are manufactured in the production facility and recieved into stock in the distribution centre during backflushing.
    The cost collector is set up for the planning site so that once the planned orders are settled the moving average price of the finished product is updated in the distribution centre.
    My client wishes to add a 'transfer price' at order settlement so that the moving average price in the distribution centre is updated with the new moving average price + the transfer price during settlement.
    Is this possible using transfer pricing functionality??? How is it implemented?

    Hi,
    If this indicator is turned on, the costs are collected on a product cost collector. In this case you use the functionality of Product Cost by Period. In this case you calculate the work in process and variances by period
    If this indicator is not turned on, the costs are collected directly on the manufacturing order. In this case you use the functionality of Product Cost by Order.In this case you calculate the work in process and variances by lot.
    Cost Collector will be used in conjunction with the distribution rule - PP2 periodic settlement.
    In discrete , if you split the order you have to use the cost collector indicator and the PP2 periodic settlement rule.

  • CO88 - Collective Settlement Processing for Product cost collectors

    Hello Gurus,
    I have couple of Settlement related problems. Please advice if you have any solution to fix these problems.
    1.We are using CO88 - Collective Settlement Processing for Product cost collectors but some of the cost collectors are not settling fully. Where as the same cost collector settled individually without any problem.
    2. Some cost collectors are settled but very small amounts are still there as un-settled.
    Thanks in advance.
    Vishwanath.

    Hi
    Welcome to SDN! We hope your 1st experience here is good
    Issue 1: It depends on the error that you got at the time of settlement... Many times, when a PCC is being posted to from Production while you are trying to settle, it can give you error...
    later on it can be settled w/o any issues
    Issue 2: Ideally there does not remain any amount after settlement.. May be the amount which you are seeing pertains to the next month.. You can shift to periodic view using CtrlShiftF11 and see if any balance really exists

  • Settlement Parameters on Product Cost Collectors

    The basic config on Product Cost Collectors has settlement to a material.
    1) Does someone know how to change the settlement rules to settle to a GL account or Order for new materials
    2) For old materials, does someone know how to change the settlement rules. SAP - I believe in HELP and in note 388457 says you cannot change the setlement rules.
    Thanks

    Thank you for responding.
    Unfortunately, even if you create a new profile and allocation structure, you cannot change it on the order.
    I later found in SAP HELP that the settlement profile on cost collectors cannot be change.  That was also verified by oss 388457.
    But, I was hoping I was wrong or there has been a further change

  • Product Cost Collectors not settled to GL's during Period end Close

    Hi,
    We are using the repetative manufacturing process. We have an issue with our repetative manufacturing orders, during the monthly period end close.The product cost collectors WIP is not been settled to GL's.
    The normal production orders are been settled to the GL's and both use the same settlement profile.
    Can anyone suggest where could be the problem?
    Thanks,
    Srini

    Hi,
    In the SAP standard (as per the transaction codes indicated by you) it is not possible to include multiple plants. Either you have to execute for one Plant or for all plants. Probably, in Test run you can execute for all Plants and check the results, and then decide.
    Thanks

  • At the time of settlement of cost collector, I don`t see right FI entries.

    HI,
    at the time of settlement of cost collector, I don`t see right FI entries.
    Сost collector is confirmed, WIP is calculated, variance is calculated.   Cost collector has status VCAL.
    Cost collectors saldo = 3000,00
    WiP = 3500,00
    Variance = -500,00
    and it is right.  But at the  settlement  I see
    Factory Output (Cr.) & Price diff from Prod (Dr.) 3000
    Where are WIP and Variances???. I don`t imagine any reason why system don`t see WIP and variances by settlement.
    Best regards,
    Yuy
    P.S.
    ML is active.

    HI,
    If there is more GI and less GR, system calculates WIP and values are posted to WIP G/L. That will be reversed to Cost object on next day of WIP run. This will not be considered for Settleemnt.
    Variance is the calculation of actual and plan. That is just a calculation and nothing to do with any accouting entries.
    U have got some 3000 in price diff. account and that has come from diff betweeen actual G/R and material master price of the material.

  • Changing the receiver cat in the settlement rule of Product cost collector

    1. Is it possible to change the settlement rule for the Product cost collector?
    2. If yes, Could you please let me know the procedure to do this?
    3. If no, what is the alternate as I want to change the CAT from MAT to ORD.
    Your help is very much appreciable and Thanks in advance for the help.

    Hi,

  • RESCCC - Generate cost collector as background job.

    Hello,
    I am trying to generate the cost collector. normally this is a two screen procedure. In the first screen I input the parameters and then execute it.
    In the next screen the list of cost collectors appear with the red & white circle icon at the top. When I select the cost collectors and click on the icon, it generates the cost collectors and they are now ready for the next period.
    We have a timeout setting of 900 seconds set in our system. As a result any foreground job that runs for more than that leads to a short dump. We cannot change this parameter.
    Thats why I was trying to run the report as a background job. When I am running the background job, after a while when I am checking the status of the job I can find that the job has successfully finished.
    The problem is that in this case I dont get the second screen from where I could select the cost collectors and then 'generate' them using the red & white circular icon. That screen just doesn,t come at all.
    Can someone please tell me that if i run this as a background job then how may I get to the screen (the second screen) from where i can select the cost collectors and generate them?
    Regards,
    Suvarghya Dutta

    Hello,
    when RESCCC is run as background job the cost collectors for all specified settlement units should be generated without the need to select them in a second screen.
    Please check that you have made the selections for settlement units and also the settlement period start and end date properly for your background job. If it still doesn't work please check the protocol of the background job for messages.

  • Error while creating Product Cost Collector

    Hi SAP Gurus,
    While creating Product Cost Collector I am getting the following Error:
    Enter a distribution rule for Order without a validity limit
    Message no. KD059
    Diagnosis
    The settlement profile used requires you to define a distribution rule for Order. For period 009 2008, however, you have not created a distribution rule for Order.
    Procedure
    Create a distribution rule for Order without a validity limit, because, if the distribution rule does have a validity limit, the system always issues this message in the period following the last valid period.
    You can also use a different settlement profile that does not require such a distribution rule, or change the settlement rule used.
    Can any one help where exactly i need to maintain this.
    The settlement profile settings are fine.
    I am getting this error only after i have changed the scenario to Reproting point back flushing

    Dear Suryanarayana
    Please check the corresponding settlement profile for product orders.
    In most of the cases message KD059 means that no distribution rule is assigned to your production order.
    This is not an error, but the system design. In order to avoid message KD059 you will either have to enter settlements parameters and a distribution, or change settlement profile for valid receivers in transaction OKO7 from 'settlement required' to 'Can be settled'.
    I hope this helps resolve the issue for you. I wish you the best in your endeavours.
    Kind Regards,
    Brendan

  • Transfer of Costs in Product Cost Collector to COPA

    Dear Experts,
    Please can you advise me on this current issue I'm having. Below is a description of problem:
    Customer is currently using report designed in COPA (KE30) to derive P&L report for using Plant as a characteristic.
    This was being done at a time when Product Costing functionality was not being used
    All costs (administrative, sales and production costs) were being collected in cost centers
    At end of month assessment of cost center values to COPA is executed (KEU5)
    Customer is then able to derive P&L report per Plant characteristic
    However with implementation of Product Costing, all Production related costs are captured in Product Cost Collectors and not Cost Center
    Hence we have no way of assessing or transferring total production costs from Product Cost Collector to CO-PA
    We have tried to configure FI/MM PA transfer structure (KEI1) and default account assignment (OKB9) for automatic transfer of costs on goods receipt/issue, however this is not working because the product cost collector is used as the default account assignment for the transactions
    So far only material cost valuation of sales/billed materials are possible (which does not address concern)
    As a result we have a gap and customer is unable to derive P&L by Plant from CO-PA.
    Can you advise if there is a way out, in order to have all Production Cost transferred to CO-PA.
    Thanks,
    Ola.

    Hi Ola
    Your Cost centers would be categorized as below
    1. MFG Cost Centers (In Plant)
    2. Service Cost Centers (In Plant)
    3. Few Cost centers (outside plant) Eg: Sales, Marketing, Sales offices etc
    At period end
    1. Allocate the Costs from SER CC to MFG CC using Distribution / Assessment cycle.
    This will make SER CC as zero
    2. Calculate actual activity price in MFG CC (KSS2 / KSII)
    3. After this, do revaluation of PCC using CON2.. This will make balance in MFG CC as zero
    4. Allow the Variances to be updated to COPA by ticking the "Variances to Costing based COPA" in your settlement profile
    5. In short, what remains for you to allocate to COPA is the 3rd category of CC.. i.e. you should allocate those CC to COPA whose cost is not included in the cost of product using COPC module

  • Essence of product cost collectors

    In REM
    what is essence of product cost collector (KKF6n), {As I understand production cost collectors
    are cost carrying elements}, but needs to have more insights like how it captures
    production costs ( i.e through activities, price maintained in accounting view....)
    Does it make any difference if product cost collector is executed before MRP run, or it has
    to be executed only after MRP run

    Dear Eshwer,
    1.Product Cost collector is one of the master data in REM scenario.
    2.This product cost collector is no where related to MRP.
    3.Product Cost collector is used as a cost object in REM scenario,which means all the cost will be
    booked under this product cost collector for that material.
    4.Whatever the confirmations that are done in MFBF or MF41 or MF42N,the cost will get debited or
    credited accordingly for that material and the impact will be seen in the product cost collector.
    5.This product cost collector will be having an order number which will be used for order settlement and
    variance calculation.
    6.For creating a product cost collector you will require a production version.
    7.so whenever you do an assembly or activity or component backflush,the cost will be booked under
    this product cost collector.
    8.So as such there's no relation between MRP and a product cost collector.
    I hope this pints will help you to some extent.
    Revert back with your further queries.

  • Deleting old Product cost collectors with variances

    Hi Experts
    The client is wanting to archive old Product Cost Collectors.  There are 3 of them that say that they have unsettled variances.  I need to delete these which are in 1999 and 2001
    The error message is KO451.  I have tried to set this error to a warning but it is not allowing this
    Please advise
    Kind regards
    Dawn

    Hi Dawn,
    you can check SAP note 140672 in which the procedure to be followed is explained
    in case of KO451.
    A workaround would be: You can uncheck the indicator 'Variances to
    Costing-Based PA' in
    settlement profile. Then you can close/archive the order.
