Cost Components (High Importance)

Hallo, SAP'ers!
I'm gonna execute Material cost estimate with quantity structure (CK11N)
I use my own cost component structure with it's own cost components(created by copying several of them from the standard one). I assigned cost elements to these cost components
using Assignment: Organiz. Units - Cost Component Struct I assigned created by me cost component structure to my company code.
the structure is activated.
when I process CK11N, only data in "Raw materials" component are displayed which is taken from material master record of the calculating material.
where can I enter planned data for every cost element in order this data is calculated and displayed for every cost component to which according cost elements are assigned?
Step-by-step recommendations in customizing will be very helpful and rewarded.
Thanks!

Hi Drabkov
Have you created costing sheet
Have you created activity type for production and wages Ex set up,machine,power and labour KL01
Have you planned the activity type KP26
Create work center Cr01 assign the activity and cost center in costing tab with formula.
create Routings CA01
or masterreceipe(if process industry) C201
then run the cost estimate CK11N ,it willcome

Breakdown of COGS into ACTUAL cost components

Hello,
I am looking to design a product cost report which gives breakdown of COGS into actual cost components. We use moving average cost for all materials (purchased as well as manufactured) in a make to order environment.
For example:
Sales order - Shipped material A at COGS $100.
Process order # 1 produced material A using input material B and a series of operations defined in a recipe.
Process order # 1 costs: Input material B - $70
Operations cost - $30
Process order # 2 produced material B using raw material C and a series of operations.
Process order # 2 costs: Input material C - $40
Operations cost - $30
So, the results should look like COGS 100 comprise of $ 40 material cost and $ 60 operations cost.
I understand standard cost estimates can be linked to CO-PA fields to get cost component structure. But, we don't use standard costing. We use CO-PA which gives COGS.
Is there something similar to cost estimate to calculate as above? Or, this is a custom development.
Thanks in advance for any pointers / advice?

What is COGS?

Inter company COGS and Cost Components in COPA

Looked at so many threads but couldn't find a proper answer.
Scenario: Company B in Canada books a sales order, delivering from a Plant in Company A in US. US bills Canada at Cost + Mark up.
In US:
On Goods issue COGS is booked based on std in US (say $10)
On Inter company billing - (Cost + 20% mark up) Inter company receivable is $12, this triggers a payable on Canada side.
In Canada:
We can have $12 booked as COGS when Payable entry is created in Canada through IDOC. so Accounting is OK.
How can I have this COGS of $12 posted in COPA ? Somewhere I read to use two condition types for VPRS, but unfortunately we cant do that as we have revenue recognition activated. only VPRS condition values comes through revenue recognition lines.
Since Delivering plant in US has a Standard cost of $10, VPRS is $10 in sales order and COPA gets the cost components from US plant, which is not correct. How can I have the mark up of $2 reflected in Cost components in COPA ?.
Assuming that I create a standard Cost estimate in a virtual Plant in Canada for $12 with two cost components for $10 and $2. Is it possible to manipulate VPRS on sales order to point to standard cost from this virtual plant and create a costing key to bring the cost split from this virtual plant into COPA. Has anybody tried this ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Krishna
1. Does this material always necessitates a supply from US company??
If yes, then your task is easy.. Create a Costing Key and assign to such materials in KE4H... In this Costing Key, do not tick the radio button "Use Line Item Plant as Cost estimate Plant".... Instead, You can specify the default PLANT to be used for reading the Cost Estimates in the field "Specify Cost estimate PLant"
You can use the above solution in case you go with Virtual Plant also
2. Are you saying that the VPRS in Sales order punched in Canadian comp code is 10 USD because the Delivery Plant is in US comp code?
I dont know how does Revenue recog behave in your case and when does VPRS (COGS) flow to COPA.... As you said, VPRS gets the feed from RR, so will manually manipulating the VPRS in sales order help you??
Anyways, the 2nd solution is as below... Few companies have used it
There is an output type in SD called RD04... I may not be fully right here, you can take it as RD0*... Ask your SD guy to identify the right output type
Using this, When you do the PGI in Canadian Comp code,
................. All this happens in background automatically...............
you can create a Virtual STO on USA Comp code....
USA does PGI and the stock virtually comes in Canadian Comp code
Then PGI happens from Canadian Comp code
................. All this happens in background automatically...............
This is a change in your process... The delivery plant for all practical purposes becomes Canadian Plant (only on paper)... Your Physical process can continnue as Delivery from USA...
This solution was adopted when both the companies were in same country.... Check with your business how far is it possibie for you
3. Last option would be to use valuation exit COPA0002.... I dont know how you would use it considering you have RR in place....
Be very careful in doing this

Actual Values for the Cost Components in COPA - TC - KE4R

Hi,
In TC: KE4R, we are maintaining the value field for each Cost Components from the Cost Components Structure.
And the Point of Valuation is 01.
My understanding is that, when we use this value fields in the COPA report, it will show the value of the standard cost estimate from the cost component structure and not the actual cost that has incurred during the transaction.
Am I correct? If not please correct me.
If yes, then How can I get the actual cost for these cost component structure in the value fields.
Please help.
Thanks and regards
Kami

Hi Ajay,
we have a requirement that we need details about what makes cost of sales numbers in COPA.
i know the our VPRS value is flowing into COPA as COGS but now we want that we should have ite detailed breakdown as per cost components.
can you please tell me detailed configuration steps to make this happen so that we can create a new COPA ke30 report which gives us the breakdown of the COGS numbers.
one more requirement is that for purchase parts our client is maintaing price PB00 condition and some other conditions like brokerage, freight etc in the info record for those materials and they want that all these conditions value should add up to show the COGS value for these purchase parts in the COPA report.. how do we do that?
please reply soon...
Thanks in advance,

WIP Report with Cost Components

Hi,
Is there an Standard SAP report to get the WIP by cost component structure by order/plant wise? If not, what are the possibilite to create a custom report of WIP by cost components?
Urgent please
Thank you,

Hi Simi
Structure CCSS of Report Painter is combination of several tables including COEP
Even your revenue should have been updated in COEP table...
May be your report's selection conditions are preventing the revenues from being displayed... Can you check that?/

Cost Components

HI All,
What are the cost components for the WIP process.
I understand this is been defined in the Overhead key for the Materials in the Production order.
I would like to know the Cost components which are added as the factors of production in the WIP Process.
I can see the cost components in the Costing sheet as a calculation procedure.
Is there any separate transaction code/node/report which gives me the components for the overhead calculation.
Ex: for material X
overhead costs may be:
Admin Oh
Sell OH
Labour OH etc.,
This is required for the auditing purpose as certain overheads like Sell and Admin OH are not be added as the Cost of production in WIP as per accounting standards.
So we need to show exactly what components are adding to the production cost.
Pls help me in this regard,
Thanks and regards,
S Sq

Two questions: how do Skype and iChat compare for group video? quality, reliability, cost, etc are important. 2) Is my MobileMe ID what I need to use in the window in making an iChat buddy? It only says AIM above the window, online tutorial differs.

Two questions: 1) How do Skype and iChat compare for group video? Quality, reliability, cost, etc are important. 2) Is my MobileMe ID what I need to input in the window in making an iChat buddy? It only says AIM above the window, online tutorial differs, saying MobileMe, AIM, GoogleTalk (Jabber) all work. Thnx

Hi,
IChat uses better Video Compression than Skype does.
On a top flight Mac you can send a 640 X 480 pixel frame up to 30 frames a sec.
Skype can't match this.
iChat in Video is Peer to Peer. (you can actually Log out of the Buddy list)
Skype seems to borrow something from everyone's bandwidth to make connections.
What do you mean by Business account Tracking ?
iChat Adds (or can add) the First Name, Last Name of your Buddies and create an Address Book Entry
Whether you mark those cards connected with a company is up to you.
(I have heard of issues with earlier version of iChat and the Address Book that "saw" the Company Name as the part of the Name and linking several Screen Names to the one name
Audio on a Mac using Skype tend to be the same as the streaming needs are less.
However you have to rely on any PCs audio abilities from PCs which may not be to the same standard.
Mac to PCs in iChat and AIM can be difficult though. (It should work but it rarely as simple as Plug and go)
Skype may suit your needs better on ocassions.

Change in finished product inventories / cost components

Hello,
We are in the process of implementing SAP and couldn't get an answer to the following.
Our understanding is that the production cost of each finished product is calculated by SAP based on cost components. After manufacturing, the finished products are transferred to the finished product inventory. The change in finished product inventory account (say 713000) is credited with the production cost of the product.
Instead of having this single 713000 account impacted, we would like to have the change in finished product inventory broken down into several, say 713001 raw material component in finished product, 713002 labour cost component in finished product, 713003 subcontracting cost component etc. Can we get SAP to credit automatically each of these accounts based on the cost component (or group of cost components) information in the system ? How should we configure it ? (is there a link between the cost component or group of cost component and the account)
Many thanks for your help
Best regards

Hi Vincent,
In my understanding you are not clear with the requirement and therefore you are struggling with SAP. Please understand the following:
1. The posting of GL accounts are determined by valuation class in material master. So if you want to post on different GLs please define those many valuation class in MM and assign the correct Valuation class to FG goods.
2. When you confirm the production, SAP post the goods issue (i.e. material you define in BOM) by debiting the Material consumption account and credit the invertory accounts. And also post the goods receipt posting by debiting the FG inventory account and credit the Factory output a/c.
3. Here you have to convience your client that it is best pratice to have one inventory account for one material type, like RM inventory, SFG inventory and FG inventory. Normally we classify the consumption posting in different GLs like Material consumption, Labour consuption, Overhead utilization etc. and that you can define in your cost component structure by grouping the relevent GLs in given cost component items.
4. You have to explain them how SAP works in product costing and how GL documents are posted. You have to also explain them the posting impact in P&L and BS.
I will suggest that you should rediscuss the requirement and explain them the SAP way of valuation and posting. It is a big change management issue and as a CO consultant it is most challenging task.
Thanks and all the best,
Vivek

Error when using Components.utils.import

Hi ,
I have a web application(CRM) and my clients use it also for the cash register.What I need to do is to create a local file as the cash register's software need's to read from that file in order to print.
Until now i was using this code:
 
<pre><nowiki>netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalXPConnect");
var file = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/file/local;1"].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsILocalFile);
file.initWithPath(filePath);
</nowiki></pre>
Unfortunately with the latest version of firefox this isn't working anymore.
What I'm trying now starts like this :
 
<pre><nowiki>try{
Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/FileUtils.jsm");
}catch(e){
alert(e);
}</nowiki></pre>
Anyhow, from the beginning I get this error "Component.utils is undefined" .Any suggestions please?
Thank you.

COGS at standard, broken down / cost components

Dear masters
I went through numerous post but could not find the answer
We here do not have COPA. However I wish to find a report that would break my COGS at standard, into the cost components.
(raw material, labor..)
Do you know of any such report?
We have a classic configuration, with COGS journal entry posted at standard cost when the goods are issued to the customer
(movemnt type 601)
KR - Loï

Hi,
I am not sure whether there is any report of such type.
But you can check the T.Code S_P00_07000139 (Stock Card and Inventory Material Report) which gives the price per unit. In your case it would be standard cost per unit of COGS.
The labour and overhead can be taken from the tables A014 and KONP by matching the condition record number. You can try to create a report through sqvi for the same.

CO-PC Cost components are not assigned when actual cost was posted

Hi Expert,
I estimate material cost by Tcode CK11N, the result is cost components were assigned to plan cost. It's okay. But, I have a problem when posting actual cost.
After actual cost was posted by confirming backflush, I run Tcode KKBC_PKO to check again, but Cost Component field is not assigned to actual cost.
Please tell me the reason.
Regard,

Hi,
Thank for your answer.
I will check Cost component Structure, and ensure that all cost elements were assigned.
Additional, cost components were assigned to PLAN cost, but not assigned to ACTUAL cost.
Do I have to configure something more?

How to get high importance mail from Workflow

Whenever the work item goes to Workflow inbox, parallelly the work item is going to Outlook as a mail.

COPA document created from billing document, cost components are twice

Hi Experts,
Ref Subject line : COPA document created from billing document, cost components are twice.
I have checked the following :
1. Cost Estimate of a material
2. Production Confirmation of the Order
When comparing both of the above, they are same, without variance.
Now when a COPA document is created, we observe the Cost Component Split in Sales Order to be exactly TWICE as compared to Cost Estimate of the material.
May I please request help from you all. What must be the cause & where do i check / rectify.
Regards,
Hussein.

Hi Hussein
If you are seeing double in KE30 Report - May be you are updating both sales order and billing doc in COPA and hence you are seeing 2 line items.. But one of them will be record type A and the other one with F
If the above is not the case and you are seeing double in the COPA document itself - Then See if you have mapped VPRS cond type in KE4I to the same value fields as Cost Comp Split
Also, one strong possibility that you are using Batch Split in SD.. .... Which means your delivery document (VL03N) will have multiple batches of materials being delivered to the customer....
a. In this case, your Item Category for main item (HPOS) and Sub Item (UPOS) has to be different and the Item catg for UPOS should not be relevant for billing / Costs... Note 77414 descirbes this situation and the settings to be done in SD Customizing
b. You may need to apply note 352441 in your system

Changing assignment of cost elements to cost components

Hello,
I want to assign a cost component to another cost element. Message no. KQ312 Maintenance after deactivating 10 makes cost estimates incomparable appears.
After the change, isn't it possible to compare the cost estimate anymore at all or just the changed cost components?
Regards, Jan

If you change the cost element grouping in your cost component - the standars SAP gives the message that previous cost estimate cost component will not be comparable.. It has got logic because once you do the Actvity price calculation system stores the value as per cost component strcuture in KEPH table . The 40 cost feils in KEPH get dynamically linked as per your cost component.
So if you want to change it , you can change it but makesure you run the KSPI again . If you are moving your existing cost element to another group , the previous saves cost component will not display correctly , although all the future cost estimate will show you as per revised strcuture.
If you not bother about previous cost compoent display then you can change it.

Ranjan
