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.

Cost component with quantity

Hi SAP Experts
My client want material actual cost component report not only with value amount, but also with quantity.
The material ledger was activated, I know using standard function, we can have material actual cost component report with value amount, like Tcode:MLCCSPD, but cannot find any quantity information.
Do anyone have the kind of requirement and how to achieve it ?
If only customer development method, how to do it. thanks a lot!

I tested the CKMLQS, it only get the current period BOM quantity, cannot trace to origin component quantity.
for example:
Previous Period: material A Qty 10 -----produce------> material B Qty 10
Current Period : material B Qty 7 -----produce-------> material C Qty 7
Now, Using report:CKMLQS, it only show material B quantity 7 consumed for material C, cannot see the origin component material A consumed quantity.
I need to trace origin component(the lowest level of BOM) quantity, like amount value report(Tcode:MLCCSPD).
Anyone have suggestions? thanks
Regards

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 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.

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.

Restricting issue of goods to cost center with respect to material type

Dear Users,
I have a requirement like we want to restrict issue of goods to cost center with respect to material type i.e., we want to issue goods to cost center only through reservation and that too only for specific material types. Is there any standard solution for this, please provide your suggestions.
Thanks,
Manoj

Hi Ajay,
Thanks for valuable input.
I also thought in the same line , but user has the following concern on this:
Assessment Cycle: As per Users, it cannot be used because this will allocate based on allocation basis. But they need, the values that was posted at the time of transaction and as per materials. So it wont be accurate through Assessment cycle,
OKB9: They have different Cost center for different valuation area for the same GL Account.
Hence through OKB9 also, we cannot post directly to COPA.
That's the reason the above option were not adopted.
My other concern to this is:
In CKM3, we have two lines under consumption, one for Normal sales PGI and other is Cost Center.
After doing revaluation of consumption in CKMLCP, we see one line under Cost Center :Revaluation of Consumption Figure"
My question, where can I see that figure whether in any table or in Cost Center report??
If that is also available we can try to match those values and post to COPA.
Let me know your thought on this.
Thanks and regards

Copy standard cost with Cost Component from another material

Hi,
I need to copy standard cost from another material not only total price but also details of cost component split. I try to used transaction CKUC with procedure of "explode material cost estimate" but the reference material use "mixed costing" and isystem stop explosion.
There is another procedure in order to make this copy? I can not use special procurement because are different codes (material A / Plant XXX copy froma material B /Plant XXX).
Thanks for your support.
Mic

Hi Chandra,
thanks for your suggestion, it works but only if I explode a level ... material "B" contains two mix codes that also contain their mixes. So system shows this message "Mixed cost estimate explosion in level 2 for material xxx" and "Mixed cost estimate exists: maximum of 2 explosion level (s) possible".
So Is not possible to copy and esploded a standard cost with multi level mix?
Thanks

Raw Material Costing with Actual Cost Component Split

Hi All
I have requirement to split inventory RM Value with material component and Freight cost, all config done and looks well if I check at CKM3N cost component view, material cost $100 and Freight $20, I GR the inventory with freight cost, since I'm using actual costing when journal freight cost go to Price Difference account. But after actual costing closing why the system can't split the variance update to freight cost component? is this the standard SAP behaviour?
Please help for the solution
Regards
Luiz

I see that you want to split your material cost and freight cost. you need to check the following:
Is your current standard cost estimate support this structure i.e do you have seperate cost components for RM and Freight.
If not first you need to change cost component structure and as mentioned by owen you to map the purchase condition type to the origin group and cost component structure.
Then system will do the same for the actual costing

Cost component split costed with value of zero

Hi,
We have ML activated for the Plant/ Valuation area.
We have Company Code Currency type -10 and Controlling Area Currency type - 30. Both Currencies are different.
I have maintained in OKYW, the company code and costing type and Valuation variant.
When I am running the cost estimate for the material and Plant I am getting the error..
"Cost component split costed with value of zero".
I have also checked that the cost element is assigned to Cost Component split and is active.
I am not able to find out what is the reason for the error. I am stuck up and not bale to run the cost estimate.
Please help/ suggestion.
regards
Kami

Dear Kami,
This error is probably caused by the currency conversion. Error CK 240 is raised if
a) cost component split in co-area currency is zero
b) the costing variant is used for standard price update
c) cost component split in co-area currency is stored on database
(this is a customizing setting of the costing variant)
There are 3 ways to proceed:
1) use a greater costing lot size for the raw materials with CK 240
--> costing value in CO area currency will be greater 0
2) disable saving of cost component split in co-area currency
3) deactivate coding of note 927372 --> please review note 1004727 for details.
Kind regards,
Antje

Re: create material cost estimate with ck11n without

hi gurus,
i need to do create material cost estimate with ck11n without cost result but before i need to check the BOM with material component 11111, and also instruct me how to correct maintain BOM list to get the standard cost

Hi,
As note 351835 explains, calculation needs an inforecord to calculate prices from purchasing. Prices from outline agreements are generally not taken into account. According to note 499699, the system may consider entries in the source but it will ignore entered agreements (before this correction, any source list entries with agreement were ignored).
Prices from agreements could only be considered either via a modification or by using the user exit for material valuation (COPCP005).
This unfortuntely is a restriction resulting as a side-effect from note 499699. As soon as an agreement is entered in the source list, the fixed indicator will not be considered anymore.
You therefore have two options to overcome this.
1) You create a second source list entry without an agreement; then the fix indicator will be reflected; report Z_CREATE_EORD from note 409960 could be used to do this automatically
2) You are using user-exit EXIT_SAPLMEQR_001 in order to 'overrule' the standard search for source of supply (enhancement LMEQR001)

Actual Cost Component Split for cross company code transfers.

Hi,
My issue is as follows.
Production process spans across 2 company codes.
Goods are produced in production company code, transferred (via stock transport order) to marketing company code and sold to customers from marketing company code.
Stock transport order follows sales scenario i.e.. marketing company code creates purchase order for goods from production company code and production company code bills marketing for the goods.
Actual costing / Material ledger is implemented in both company codes.
We would like to roll-up (transfer) actual cost component split from production company code to marketing company (in a similar way as in product cost planning in cross-company scenario).
However, due to the fact that the transfer between the companies is in fact a "sales" the goods in marketing company code are seen as externally purchased and the only cost component we can create is based on PO conditions. But we want to get the info about production cost component split.
Once again this is for ACTUAL cost component split.
I would be grateful for any ideas.
Thanks,
Szymon

Hi Udo / Szymon.
I have a question about this issue.
In the sap help about multiple valuations / group costing:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/7e/cb848443a311d189ee0000e81ddfac/content.htm
Its not clear if this can roll up the Actual CCS? or what it do? My question is because i read the documentation of bussiness function: LOG_MM_SIT,and also the book *Actual Costing with The SAP Material Ledger*
states that we can handle the rollup of actual cost component split inter-company only with this BF active.
Could you clarify about this?
thanks!!
Arturo.
Group Valuation
Goods movements between affiliated companies not involving intercompany profits are processed using the group view. This view determines the actual cost of goods manufactured for the group, and does not include any intercompany profits. You can, however, display internal profits as delta profits in the legal and/or profit center views.
When you define cost components, you can specify that internal profits between company codes and/or profit centers are shown in detail in the cost component split. You activate these delta profits for the group valuation in the attributes of the cost components.
For each cost component structure, there can only be one cost component under which the delta profit is shown. This means that neither the legal view nor the profit center view can have more than one cost component for the delta profit.
To cost multiple values, you define a costing type for each valuation approach in Customizing for Product Cost Planning. You use the costing type to specify which valuation approach you require. You define each costing type in a new costing variant and carry out a cost estimate with this costing variant.
Group Costing and Multiple Valuation Approaches
In-Depth Detail of the Value-Added Chain: Partner Cost Component Split
You can display in detail the costs of materials and services of every company department in the value-added chain for every stage of the production process. The partner can be traced for every material used. To do this, you define a partner version, which enables the value-added portions of each manufacturing level to be displayed in detail. For further information about this, see Partners and Direct Partners.
The group cost component split can be displayed according to your partner definition. You can display the cost structures of the partners hierarchically according to your requirements, such as the company code segments on the highest level and the plant or profit center segments underneath.
To display partner cost component splits, define a partner version in Customizing and enter it in the costing type.

Report painter/writer for actual cost component split

Hello Gurus,
Any of you guys ever explored possibility of creating a report using report painter or writer that can give both Standard and Actual cost component splits in one report? Is it even possible without custom ABAP involvement?
Thanks
RG

Hi Raghu,
After your reply, I am getting a doubt..
Have you Activated Material Ledger? When you say Actual Cost Component Split, are you talking about it what you get in Actual Costing/Material Ledger?
If yes, then you can map your cost compnents for Actual Costing in the path SPROControllingProfitability AnalysisMaster Data Valuation--Setup Valuation using Material Cost Estimate -- Define Access to Actual Costing / Material Ledger
Further, there are no standard reports available in COPA. Try to build a report comprising two columns, 1st column with the value fields which are mapped for Standard Cost Components and 2nd column with the Value Fields which you have assined for Actual Costing under the above path.
You will be able to get the comparison...
Pls don't hesitate to call me for further assistance....
