Cost Component Issue

Hi SAP Gurus
I'm using a same cost element for Salaries and Direct Labour for Cost Planning.
Salary is planned against ADMIN Activity Type where as Direct labour is planned against MACH Acticity Type
But in Cost Component Structure, Ihave 1 Cost Component for Salaries and other for Direct Labour.
How could I saggregate the Cost in two Cost Component using same CE
Quick Response is appreciated

HI,
go to oktz,
define cost component structure with name X, select it clik on cost component with sttribute, here u define the attributes as with new entries like,
X     1     raw material,
X     2    semi finished,
X     3    activity type,
x     4    Overhead,
select 1 attribute click on Assignment- cost component- cost comp inerval, new entries give corresponding cht of acc, and all consumption raw materials,
similary select second attribute and give semifinished G/L,
Now coming to your prob, select attribute 3 , as your using Admin for salaries, mach for labour, give the corresponding g/l ( secondary cost element) assigned for these activities ( u can find this in KL03 - allocation cost element),give all g/l assigned to different activities in (from cost element) column to ( to cost element) column.

Cost Component Structure (OKTZ) Issue - Max number of cost fields reached

Hello.
I'm having this issue in OKTZ when adding new cost component in an exisiting cost component structure. it says "maximum number of cost fields reached (40)".
not sure what to do with this.
please see screenshot
http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/1700/oktz.jpg

Hi Andrew,
When yo create the Cost Components in the Cost Component Structure, inside each Cost Component, there will be properties relating to whether the Cost in that Cost Component is Fixed / Variable, relevant to Inventory Valuation or not etc.
To view these options...Go to OKTZ, select the line of your Cost Component Structure, double click on "Cost Component with Attributes" in the left side navigation. Now, you will be able to see the list Cost Components on right hand side. If you double click on any Cost Component, you will see the properties of that Cost Component.
There, you can see ther radio buttons "Variable Costs" and "Fixed and Variable Costs".
Now, in Standard SAP, you will be able to create a maximum 40 Cost Components. The behaviour of the system goes like this.... If one Cost Component is only "Variable Cost", it will take the space of one Cost Component out of the maximum 40. If one Cost Component is of "Fixed and Variable Costs", then it will take the space of two Cost Components out of the maximum 40. That means, if all of your Cost Components are "Fixed and Variable", then you will be able to create only 20 Cost Components.
You can find the SAP explanation regarding this in the IMG Documentation...
SPROControllingProduct Cost ControllingProduct Cost PlanningBasic Settings for Material Costing--Define Cost Component Structure. Check the IMG Documentation there to find the following text...
Structure of the Cost Components in a Cost Component Split
The cost components are listed in a cost component structure that can contain up to 40 cost components (cost fields).
You can create up to 40 cost components that contain variable costs.
For cost components that contain full costs, the system creates a second cost field for the fixed costs. This means that you can create no more than 20 cost components that are full costs.

Cost component or cost roll-up issue

Hi
This is with reference to new issue that surfaced in costing recently. In the company I am working for cost component structure setup is like this : 1) raw material is considered as variable cost 2) activity as fixed and when it rolls-up cost of semifinished will have both fixed and variable since fixed and variable are active for semifinished and that's way its set up for finished goods.
The above set up was designed based upon existing business process. As per that process raw material is always procured from external vendor. Recently for the one of the new plant the process changed a bit i.e. raw material is manufactured. Now the manufactured and purchased raw material flows to same GL account. With the existing set up the system allowed to create product estimate and PREM cost for both manufactured and purchased raw material. But recently the system started giving an error saying that fixed cost field is not activated for raw material. The error makes sense but we don't understand how it worked before and what triggered this error now.
Did anybody come across this issue?
Thanks
Joseph

Hi,
May be for the material in new plant, you may have some fixed cost , through some activity type etc.. Please check.
You can always change your cost component in OKTZ to allow for fixed cost also. But we careful while doing this , as after this you wont be able to see the pased saved data in cost component view. As based on cost component strcuture SAP alling the cost value field in KEPH table and it fixed and variable are stored in two different vaue field in KEPH.

Auxiliary cost component splitting issue in CK11N

Hi Friends,
We are using primary cost component split for the auxiliary cost component structure for getting more information. We have a machine cost in the main cost component which is split in three auxiliary cost component i.e. Energy, Maintenance and depreciation.
My belief is that with the activation of primary cost component split the costs have to flow from cost center in its primary cost element form to this cost component structure.
With the current data that we have, the cost component split is seen for all the three cost elements in the auxiliary cost component split u2013 But we are not able to trace the source of this amount as we do not have any splitting structure in place, the plan costs are only for Energy not for Maintenance and depreciation.
OKES Configuration:
Selection for assignment:
Cost Element               GMACHINE (only for Energy)
Activity Type     MACH
Splitting rules:
10                                        21     Equivalence Numbers Planning
Machine 0.64 is splitting into as follows Depreciation 0.41, Energy 0.12 and Maintenance 0.11
I am afraid from where splitting happening for Energy and depreciation and there is not receiving   splitting rules.
Appreciate for quick reply
Thanks

Hi to Evrybody,
I am trying to configure Primary Cost Component Split,, but I am confused what are the technical steps to configure such a structure 
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_40b/helpdata/en/7e/cb7e8643a311d189ee0000e81ddfac/content.htm
There are several requirements how to configure in SAP Primary Cost Component Split:
1)You assign a cost component structure in the CO version in Cost Center and Process cost planning! Which Cost Component Structure? The Primary Cost Component Structure or the Cost Component Structure?
2)You determined the prices through planned price iteration!                                                                 We set this indicator in the CO Version itself?
3)You define a Cost Component Structure for Primary Cost Component Split of Product Cost Planning! How do we define it, via simply checking the check in OKTZ?
I want to understand when you create Cost Component Structure and Primary Cost Component Structure, which one of these 2 needs to be assigned in the CO version in Cost Center Accounting? And the other thing is I do not make the difference between Cost Component Structure and Auxiliary Cost Component Structure? Could you please shortly describe what is the difference? Other thing is when you create Primary Cost Component Structure and its components, DO THEY INCLUDE ONLY RANGE OF PRIMARY COST ELEMENTS OR IT IS A TECHNICAL STEP ONLY TO CHECK THAT CHECK IN OKTZ FOR Primary Cost Component Split. Let me know, thank you very much for your help and cooperation again!
Best Regards,

CO-PA Cost Component do not match with Standard Cost Component Values

Dear Members,
The CO-PA Cost Components (as mapped through KE4R), do not match with Standard Cost Component values for the Group Currency. In local currency the values match.
System is correctly picking up VPRS value, both in local currency and Group Currency, which is equal to the total of Standard Cost Components however, it is the Value Fields linked to the Standard Cost Components in Group Currency that do not match.
In KE40, the Indicator is 4:Released Standard Cost Estimate matching Goods issue Date.
I have verified KEPH/CKMLPKEPH tables. The values are same as that of VPRS.
Any help/clues?
Regards
Satya

Hi,
In case of billing documents the group valuation approach is managed in the data structures of the legal valuation in additional value fields. To control costs and revenues in the different views separately, you must create additional value fields and assign them to the data structures.
The field contents must be filled via the CO-PA user exit, they cannot be entered by assigning conditions to value fields. The profit center valuation is updated in a separate ledger. No separate value fields are necessary.
The exit to be used is function module 'EXIT_SAPLKEII_002' ( enhancement COPA0005 ). Within the exit you have the complete SD data avaialble in the tables 'T_ACCIT' and 'T_ACCCR'. The conditions can be found in T_ACCIT and the corresponding values ( linked via 'POSNR' ) in table T_ACCCR. The PA line item and the corresponding SD item in table ACCIT
can be mapped via the line item field 'RPOSN' and the field 'POSNR_SD' in table ACCIT.

Hi,
Here I am providing the necessity and importance of splitting structure, will share the configuration steps once you go through the following and get the comfort level.
                  Expense Analysis and Splitting in Manufacturing Cost Centers
Introduction In SAP Cost center work as a cost responsibility center, where all the expenses and cost are stored and analyzed for the purpose of management decision making.
The cost could be fixed or variable in nature. The difference between variable and fixed costs can be made in various ways in product costing in CO module.
Fixed costs represent the static costs incurred by the organization, which doesn’t change on the basis on manufacturing activities, which remain constant irrespective of production activities like rent for the premises, salaries of office staff etc.
On the other hand, variable cost varies based on the level of production activities; if production activities increase then variable cost also increased like electricity consumes raw material charges etc.
However all the variable cost doesn’t vary in direct proportion by quantity of goods produced.
In this document will try to define; how the Expenses analysis and splitting of cost done in manufacturing cost centers.
From controlling prospective, fixed cost remain constant regardless of operating activities, but if these factor changes, variable cost will fluctuate.
Basically raw material costs represent variable cost, but in this document main focused will be given to distinguish fixed and variable activity cost.
The segregation between fixed and variable cost is optional and is derived from the configuration and master data configured in cost center accounting and overhead accounting.
Activity Price:
There are different methods that could be used in cost center accounting to determine the activity price. The simple way is the manually enter “Fixed” and “Variable” Activity cost (KP26).
However there are other methods used in Cost center Planning and Budgeting that automatically calculate the fixed and variable activity price.
Here the focused will be given on Planning and Budgeting activity and automatic calculation of plan activity rate in cost center.
This method aggregate planned costs by cost element and capacity by plan unit to calculate the activity price.
Activity independent costs are segregated among different activities based on Splitting Structure, while activity dependent cost directly used for the purpose of variable activity rate calculation.
Fixed Activity Cost:
In product costing all those cost, which doesn’t vary based on the activities in manufacturing cost will represent fixed cost.
In a manufacturing cost centers there may be two or more activities performed.
To calculate the activities rate, the fixed costs are distributed to various activities on the basis of Splitting Structure defined for cost center.
Variable Activity Cost:
Variable activity cost, which directly depend upon the activity type and fluctuate based on increase or decrease in manufacturing activities. In SAP variable activity cost are directly linked to the respective activity.
Activity Prices: Fixed and Variable Split
In Cost Center Accounting dividing the cost between Fixed and Variable requires appropriate split to be made in the cost entered for the activity. The process is described below:
i. Variable cost would be planned at activity level and expenses should be maintained at cost element in the manufacturing cost center by assigning activity and cost element combination.
In other word, the expenses should be planned on Activity type at the time of primary cost planning (KP06).
Then the variable activity rates are calculated on Total cost planned at Activity divided by Total number of activity planned at that cost center (i.e. capacity in KP26)
ii. Fixed cost would be planned at independent of activity type. These costs are maintained in KP06 at cost element level on manufacturing cost center.
Then the fixed costs are distributed on various activity types on the basis of Splitting structure defined at OKEW.
In Splitting Structure we define the rules, how the fixed cost will be distributed to Activities. For the purpose of this document, considering split of fixed cost on the basis of Capacity maintained in KP26.

Cost component view German instead of English

When I display product cost estimate with quantity structure. Under the tab costs all the cost component view description show up in German. In our development and test client they show up fine in English. I don't know if this problem has any thing to do with costing at all but I was just wondering if any of you faced this problem and how did you solve the issue. If this is not the forum can you please point me to where should I pose this question.
Regards

Hi NIK83,
When a cost estimate and its itemization is saved in txn CK11N, the text of the items is only written in one language to database table CKIT. So if somebody who was logged on in German created and saved the cost estimate, everybody who displays this cost estimate in CK13N will see German texts. This is the design of the database tables. If there would be texts
for the items in every language installed in your system, the data volume would increase significantly.
However, you can change the layout of the itemization and the cost structure by adding certain columns, e.g. material description, with the English texts. You can save this layout and make it available to all users.

Cost Component Splits

Hello,
We're using Special Procurement Keys in order to transfer cost estimates in a production plant to a DC. These cost estimates currently all come over with a full cost component split. For plants that do not belong to the same company, we don't want to see the cost component split at the receiving plant.
Is there any way to use Special Procurement Keys or Transfer Control so that Intercompany plant relationships don't transfer the cost component splits?
Thanks,
Nick

Hello Nick,
In SAP Product Costing, the cost will allway be stored in cost components and it will be tranferred in similar way to to higher level and tranfer to another plant. Even earlier we have faced similar issue. The better way is to understand how the system stores and do work around.
Hope this helps.

Cost component in cost estimate

Hi all,
In cost estimate with quantity structure, costs assigned to one of my cost components do not appear in the correct group.
This only happens for a group that should include semi-finished costs. The correspondance in the customizing is correctly made between the cost element and the cost component and when looking at itemization, the correct cost element is displayed but no cost component is shown.
I assume the problem may arise from the fact that my finish product use elements from other cost component, e.g. raw material, packaging,...
Would someone have any idea on this issue?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Cost component wise value is not showing

Hi,
I have created one costcomponenent structure and cost component created like 10,20,30,40 and 50 and each we have assigned saprate GL's. I runned standard cost estimate for one material and i checked the cost component breakup, system is not giving the breakup as per my GL assignment. In 10 i have assigned raw material gl and 20 i have assigned semimaterial but in the costing update rawmaterial and semimaterial values are updated in 10. It is not updating 10 and 20 respectively. Can you guide me to solve this issue. Total value of the material is correct.(valuation class of the materials is different for rawmaterial and semimaterial)
govind

hi govindh..
You do not have to creat cost component for Semi finished material produced inhouse because Primary raw materials for manufacturing this item has already cost component and when this semis will be used in subsequent process cost will be rolled up to respective raw material components used to manufacture the semis.
But if you have purchased Semis, you can ctreat seperate cost component as Purchased SEMIS and assign consumption GL of purchased SEmis in that component to view it seperately.
We have such senerio.
thanks.

Cost component with attributes restricted to 20/40

Hello Gurus,
The cost components have been restricted to 20/40 (SAP standard) either by combining more than one values or accommodating the CO-PA requirements within that number. Now, the requirement is to have more number of entries than the max limit of 20 each (fixed/variable), system is throwing following message - Maximum number of cost fields reached (40) (Message no. KQ304).
Basic system design- The system is limited to 40 cost component fields. Each cost component can be set to variable or total (fixed and variable). However, the database has two fields: "total" and "fixed". "Variable" is derived. So if you set a cost component to "total" you, in effect, set up two fields (total and fixed) that need to be maintained. If you set a cost component to "variable" you, in effect, set up just one field (total) that needs to be maintained. So the basic limiting factor is that if you set every cost component to "total", you can only have 20 cost components.
Because of this system limitation the only option left for us is to utilize 40 elements at the most without the internal split of fixed and variable portions. Now, the split is also necessary as such this workaround solution also cant be implemented.
Is there any additional way (user exit or some additional solution) which will allow overcoming this limitation and increasing the table entries by more than 20/40?
Thanks & regards,
Nikhil

Dear Experts,
Let currently I am facing the same issue.
I need to increase the cost components to get the effective results in my COPA report.
I tried to increase the Limit but I am also getting the same error.
Maximum number of cost fields reached (40)
Message no. KQ304
Diagnosis
The maximum number of cost fields defined in the system for saving the fixed and variable portions of the cost components has now been exceeded because of the new cost component.

Actual cost component values

Hi
We are facing an issue that actual cost component values in our system are not calculating correctly. We consider that there might be difference in our understanding regarding the calculation of actual cost component values.
Therefore I want to understand that how actual cost component values are calculated in SAP Material Ledger. I will appreciate if anyone can elaborate this with example and formula, used for calculation.
Regards

Hi Saad,
Please find below about the actual cost calculation in ML.
In ML single -level and multi-level material settlements are available. Multilevel price determination calculates the periodic unit price for a material. The standard price, the single-level differences cumulated in the period, the differences between planned and actual prices, as well as input material differences (multilevel differences) are all taken into account.
The material price calculated in multilevel price determination can be used for inventory valuation.
The actual price for each material can be updated to the material master for the closed period.
-During price determination, the system carries out the following calculation:
=>Daily Transaction
1) Purchasing XYZ Qty 20 Std : 10, Actual : 11
   Dr) Stock XYZ 200                   CR) GRIR 220

Activate Cost Component Split in Controlling Area Currency

Hello,
I have controlling area currency USD and company code currency INR. When I do WIP run then system is giving error messages "contr.area currecy is missing" and "not find valid cost component structure" and suggesting to maintain "Cost Component Split in Controlling Area Currency".
When I maintain then after that I am not able to run CK11N for std.cost estimate only with the error "cost componenet spit costed with zero" and also system giving this message on front screen of ck11n, means not allowing to go into ck11n result screen.
Could you please give me some tips or check point on this issue.
Thanks
Regards
Ravi

I'd revert to the Cost Component per Co Area currency config that you were forced to delete (as per your other post) - but this time, just for a Costing Type or a specific Val Variant and check the results.
Maybe that'll throw some light... also check if you maintained all the Exchange Rate config in your system... check General Settings for all the config that is required.
Cheers.

Material ledger wrong cost component split

i have change the price detemination from '2' to '3' in the material ledger in period 04/2011.
now i wont to execute costing run for actual cost in period 10/2010. to do this i have update tables CKMLPRKEKO e CKMLPRKEPH..
in this mode I don't have error in costing run, but i have a big problem . i don'have a correct cost component split becouse all the value is on row material.
i give a look to the SAP table and i find table MLAUFKEPH and table MLKEPH that don't have data for period 10/2010.
someone can help me?
thank you.
Your issue is not related to FI but with MM, therefore your thread was moved to MM forum so the experts will be able to help you better.
FI Moderator.

I think this table gets updated only during changes to the material price(Accounting View) thats basically price change.
Once the Material is created, price changes are carried out using MR21.
