Cost Estimate before Inquiry

Dear All,
We have the scenario in which once the Inquiry received by SD, Production department run the cost estimate for the product inquired with reference to existing BOM and also trying out other combination of Material, acitivity types and work center or in some cases other plants also.
Please reply. Is it possible through Base Planning Object or similution costing?
Thanks & Regards,
Bhadresh

Hi,
It is possible through Base planning Object using KKE1

  • Should cost estimate price be released before ML closing?

    Hi,
    Do we have to release the cost estimate price before we do the ML posting closing step? If yes then why the ML mark price and release price is placed at the last step of CKMLCP list of steps which is after the ML closing step?

    Hi,
    Lets take an example.
    Current period is 02 (Feb 2012).
    Previous period is 01 (Jan 2012).
    Future period is 03 (Mar 2012).
    Befor 31st of january you can create Std cost estimate CK40N (you can complete selection, structure explosion & costing) for Releasing Std cost on 1st Feb.
    Open MM & FI Periods on 31st night or 01Feb early
    Perform the marking and relaseing (CK40N)
    Run CO month end closures eg. OH cal, WIP, Var, Set, etc.
    Create Actual Costing Run (CKMLCP) for previous period (Jan). May be by this time we are in 1st week of Feb.
    Complete all the steps of ACR (till Post closing)
    Last step Mark Material prices (if you perform this step it will mark ACR prices as standard price for March period. This step has some limitations like Itemization will not be available for Std cost estimation. Read the help.sap.com for more details.
    Hope the above example provides more clarity for your question.

  • Target sost calculation not considered Current cost estimate in KKBC_ORD

    Hi All,
    We have an case wherein it observed that target cost calculation on SFG is wrong
    in KKBC_ORD where system does not considered the current cost estimate.
    We have all the necessayry customisation in place for Target cost version 0 for current cost estimate.
    Below is detailsed case.
    1 Process Order created in Dec 2011
    2 Price Released to Mat master  on 01.01.2012
    3 Goods movement,Operation confirmad Material Issues, FG qty delivered @ std cost 0n 04.01.2012
    4 Order Technically completed (TECO)
    5 KKS1/KKS2 will be done at month end.
    We know that In Process order, after deliver of FG the target cost on FG is not getting calculated,target cost will be updated only after calculating variance. it does
    not calculate after delivery of finished goods, On Execution of KKS1/KKS2  variance will be calculated the target cost on FG and will be updated.
    In process  order (COR3 --> Cost analysis) Target cost ,Actual cost and Planned cost are calculated based on the following:
    Total Plan Cost = Std Cost the material required to Produce X Planned Qty of the required material
    Target Cost = Std Cost the material planned to Produce X Std Qty of material required to produce, for Produced Actual Qty
    Actual Cost = Std Cost the material planned to Produce X Actual Qty of material consumed, for Produced Actual Qty
    The variance is calculated on SFG and assemblies based on the difference between actual and target cost in KKBC_ORD. During creation of process order, the plan cost
    will be updated with the valid standard cost upon the creation.
    The target cost on SFG and Assemblies is only generated when there is good receipt from production order into inventory.
    The target cost is generated using the valid / recent costing run for the correspondence SFG in KKBc_ORD.
    All other target costs showed in COR3 (Menu Go to > Costs > Analysis) or KKBC_ORD before doing KKS1/2 is only statistical- However in our case Traget cost calculated
    on SFG in KKBC_ORD not relevant with current cost estimate.
    However Actual cost and Planned cost Calculated correctly.
    Actual Cost= Current Standard costof the materilal(5.624,88)X Actual Qty (13.693)=77.021,48
    Planned cost= Std Cost the material required to Produce (6.572,12) X Planned Qty (12.415)= 81.592,87
    However Target cost is not considering the current cost estimate;It should be - Current Standard cost of the materilal(5.624,88)X Target Qty(13.958,124)=78512.07.
    But Errorneously Target cost is showing 67.383,59 which causing unfavorable variance to standard.
    It should be 78512.07-77.021,48= 1490.59 favourable var to standard in KKBC_ORD.
    Any help,suggestion and input would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks with Regards
    Subrata

    hi
    target cost is your standard cost* actual confirmed quantity, not the standard quantity required
    the variance calculated will be always  the actual debit to the production order- actual credit of the production order
    your actual credit  for the process order is  std cost* actual quantity delivered to the inventory= Current Standard costof the materilal(5.624,88)X Actual Qty (13.693)=77.021,48
    actual debit to the process order is total actual cost which you can see in COR3 report .
    By the way for which period you have calculated variance, target cost will be calculated based on that months standard cost

  • Cost Estimate using Commercial Price 3 of BOM item

    Dear Experts,
    I am trying to create a cost estimate for certain materials using ABC costing variant. The objective is that the cost estimate should pick up Commercial price 3 from the material masters of the BOM item and then calculate cost estimate for the main product (The costing variant has been customized this way). However, for certain main products, the system is picking up the standard price of the BOM item and in some main products it it correctly picking up the Commercial price.
    The BOM items used in the different products are different.
    I am unable to understand this behaviour. If anyone has come across any such problem before, please help.
    Regards,
    Aditya

    hi,
    Check the Valuation variant and the strategy sequence whether you have selected the Commercial price 3 as the first priority and the Standard price as the next priority. If u don’t want the standard price to be picked u remove this in the strategy sequence.
    Further where the system is picking the standard price, possibly the commercial price 3 has not been defined in the material master. Possibly , the system is unable to find the commercial Price 3 and it is fetching the next Price as defined in the valuation variant which is the standard Price.
    assign points if useful.

  • Issue with Standard Cost estimates / Material Ledger

    Background:
    We have been using SAP for the last 5 years with Material Ledger active. Due to a number of reasons, we have not revised its standard cost estimates from 2001 till now. This means that at month end, we do not mark and release prices as recommended, nor do we mark prices and use dynamic release.
    What Happened:
    A new material called PFSW3 was made. This is a FERT. Before production
    could start my team released the standard cost estimate for this material. Production was now able to proceed without problem. Then, when the time came to sell the material (VF02), SAP again raised the error 'cost estimate not found'. On checking the standard price in MM03, we discovered that the future cost estimate was missing. So we created and marked a new cost estimate in the middle of February 2007.
    Problem:
    When the first sale took place, SAP released the marked cost estimate and posted a Price Change document to adjust for the new standard cost. I understand this was due to dynamic release. Now, when month end came, the system settled all the production orders of material PFSW3 but did not do multi level costing on it.
    Internal Investigation:
    My team has determined that the material PFSW3 has price determination 2 set by mistake. All our other production materials (HALB and FERT) are
    set to price determination 3 in the material master (accounting view).
    Questions:
    To sum this situation up,
    we need to know why the material PFSW3 was not marked closed in its period status (CKM3) at the time of closing through CKMLCP?
    What are the implications of not closing this material in Feb 2007 (current period status is showing 'Quantities and values entered')?
    How can we close this material this month?
    The future cost estimate is again missing for PFSW3 in March 2007 and I
    fear we are going to face more problems as this material is sold to customers.
    Please respond this is an urgent issue.

    Dear Shumyl,
    Please, have a look at Note 645083 - Material period status set to "Closing Entry Completed" that might help to closing your material in previous period.
    Hope it will be useful.
    Regards,
    Flaviano.

  • 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
    if anybody do the same scenoria giveme your golden inputs
    thanks in advance,
    kumar.b

    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)

  • Confuguarable Material Cost Estimate

    Hi All.,
    It is an urgent requirement.......
    My client having both configuarable & non configuarable materials.....
    with regarding to the configuarable material cost estimate i don't have good grip on this.
    Can anybody please share some guidlines for how to create the cost estimate.....
    Thanks one and all.,
    Raja

    Configurable materials can only have a cost estimate when there is a sales order bom to define the build.
    We use configurable material and the cost estimate is configured in the same manner as standard material (Costing variant,costing dates, transfer control, etc. but some of the details differ), but it is only Saved within a Sales order. You can use CU50 for a trial cost - the configuration will have to be created in CU50 before it will cost.
    When costing configurable materials in sales orders or for sales orders the valuation variant is different from standard cost variant in these points:
    1 - The costing type is different. 18 - Sales order costing vs. 01 - Standard cost est. (mat.)
    The Costing type for Sales order does not allow updating of the standard price in the Mat Mstr
    The Costing type for Sales order also controls the use of Labor overhead for the costing variant.
    2 - Valuation Variant can be different - Valuation for Prod Costing specifies the rules to build a cost estimate. For Sales order, you may want it to use ONLY the standard price for a material/component, and NOT build a cost estimate.
    3 - Date control - The default “from” date for the Config Mat in a Sales order is “Today” while for product costing it is “first of next month”
    Our Prod Cost Est. is valid until the end of the Fiscal year when a new cost estimate is released. Our Config Material on a Sales order is valid until the end of time.
    I cannot explain “why” we chose one over the other, most of the decisions were made before I arrived. But the Costing Type Difference is very important to us, because there is no chance that the cost estimate will interfere with setting of standards and it allows “searching” for a Sales Order Cost estimate.
    You have to analyze how each part of the costing variant could impact the business and decide how to set it. If circumstances change, you can review the settings later. (I fully intend to review some of ours directly after this conversation.)
    Sales Order Costing Variants are on OKY9 while product costing is at OKKN
    Sales Order Costing Variants are assigned under SD “Maintain Requirements Classes for Costing/Account Assignment (table T459K)
    Hope this helps.

  • Material Cost Estimate - Release too early

    Hi,
    I ran the cost estimate for one material on 12.06.2008 and i released the cost estimate. Here it is saying 'Cost Estimate released too early'. I thought system is releasing the cost for material for the next month. but i want to update the material cost for this month only.
    And how many days before you have to run the cost estimate for the new month.
    sateesh

    Hi Sateesh,
    Please check the period which you have mentioned in CK24.
    I think the period you have given is of next month. Hence system is giving that message as next month's  period may not have been opened.
    System allows to release cost estimate only once in a period. Normal practice is to carry out cost run at the end of the month.
    Please do let me know if your problem is solved.

  • Valuation with material cost estimate: error with product "117122"

    Hi people,
    We have the error:
    =====================
    Valuation with material cost estimate: error with product "117122"
    Diagnosis
    In Profitability Analysis (CO-PA), the system tried to valuate a line item using the current standard cost estimate.
    In order to determine the current plan period, the system needs to read the valuation segment of the material master.
    The system has found that the current plan period is not filled forproduct "117122" in plant "UBE1".
    We have the follow configuration in trans.: KE40:
    . Determine material cost estimate
       . Transf. Standard Cost Estimate
    . Costing Variant
    . Control Data for Standard Cost Estimate
       . Period Indicator = "Current Standard Cost Estimate acc. to entry in mat master
    . Addiitonal data CO-PC
        . Transfer cost estimate in controlling area currency  "activated"
    We think the reason about our error is because the field above is activated and some configuration more is necessary for this case. For examplo: Trans.: OKYW and this one was not configurated yet.
    Do you know what happend?
    If we need to configure some transation, or sonly process the cost estimate?
    Thanks,
    Rosana.

    Hello Guido
    Thank you very much for your return.
    It is happenning in a Client that some people are doing the configuration.
    Before we didin't have in KE40, the fiel "Transfer cost estimate in controlling area currency" activated.
    And now, the people activate that in this new Client and I don't know the impact about that.
    I think we have to make the configuration in OKYW.
    The other transation you told me, we don't have any information.
    Could you tell me some other idea what happend?
    Message error is just "Message no. KE350"
    Abou claculate the cost:
    It was calculated by trans.: CK11N for future planning and the real wasn't not possible to release because this material already have moviments.
    Could you tell us is there is some thing more to do?
    Thanks,
    Rosana.

  • Report showing labor and machine time based on standard cost estimate

    Hi Friends,
    Ours is an Manufacturing organisation & we have a requirement of report showing machine and labor time as per part wise & cost center wise. We need to run the report before saving standard cost estimate [CK11N]  in order to see the part wise or cost center wise discrepancies in machine and labor time. If any one could help in creating such report in SAP  it will be of great help.
    Regards,
    Varsha

    Hi Varsha,
    you can jump from CK11N to a own report by
    Menu Function 'Costs -> User Exit Display'
         Cost Report 1 / 2 / 3
    The own report can be implemented via (SMOD) enhancement SAPLXCKA
    The report will be handed over the currently displayed in the program interface.
    some example coding is provided for the exit.
    compare SAP Note No. 71146

  • Cost estimate

    Hi Guru's
    Our project go live was this month of 11th. At the time i run cost estimate for all the materials. But i know this is month end activity.
    But my doubt is before next cost estimate for all the materials. Is it required for all the PP orders settlements are required or not.
    I their any relation of Order settlement process and cost estimation for all the materials.
    Please give me the solution.
    Thx
    Siva Ala

    Dear Siva,
    Production settlement is done at the month end,and cost estimate will be done in the month beginning
    for the period.In some cases cost estimate may be carried out quarterly wise also.
    There may be some production orders which may be carried out for more than a month.In that case at
    the month end we cannot do the settlement,because the order will be still open for some confirmation.
    From the Production order settlement point of view,
    When a production order is settled, the actual costs incurred for the order are settled to one or more
    receiver cost-objects (for example, to the account for the material produced or to a sales order).
    Offsetting entries are generated automatically to credit the production order:
    If the costs for the production order are settled to a material account, the order is credited each time
    material is delivered to stock. The material stock account is debited accordingly.
    If the costs for the production order are settled to another receiver (for example to a sales order), the
    order is credited automatically at the time of settlement. The cost-objects are debited accordingly.
    The debit posting remains in the order and can be displayed even after the costs have been settled. The
    settled costs are updated in the corresponding receiver cost-object and can be displayed in reporting.

  • Release Cost estimates

    Hi all
    Hope you all had a wonderful time during vacation.
    I've got a problem here, when I'm trying to release the cost estimates. I get an error message that "Account 650300 requires an assignment to a CO object". The above gl account is a stock reval gains P&L account, but this problem was never there before.
    Any ideas what could be the reason for this?
    Many thanks
    Rasa

    Hi,
    Good evening and greetings,
    This revaluation is hit when there is a difference in Material Master price and the new Standard cost estimate...Earlier you would have defaulted a cost centre inside the cost element...please check inside the cost element for a cost centre...the best way to maintain is OKB9...Alternatively if CO-PA is active, the differences can be settled to the product hierarchy which is again a cost object.
    Please reward points if found useful
    Thanking you
    With kindest regards

  • Sytem restrictions during Releasing new Cost Estimate during the year

    Hi,
    We are currently using Moving Average Price for Traded materials (Material type ZHAW) with Price Control indicator "V". We have an internal requirement to change the basis of valuation to Standard Cost immediately. Thus we have to change the following immediately before the close of the current Financial year:
    1) Change the Price control indicator from 'V' to 'S' in the material master of Traded materials.
    2) Thereafter, release new Standard cost estimates for all such materials in the current year. This is required because the business wants to have a different standard cost from the existing Moving average price.
    I would like to know what are the system restrictions / safeguards to be taken care of before doing the above activities, since we are doing this before the period-end & year -end.
    Your early response will be appreciated.
    Regards,
    R.Rajaraman

    You can change the price control from V to S or vice versa. You might need some additional config for if required to send the price differnece to variances account in OBYC. Other than that since it is trading materials which are not produced you might not need Product Costing Planning.

  • Reorganization of Cost estimates

    Dear All,
    Please help in knowing the difference between "Reorganization of Cost Estimates" & "Revaluation" of a product having standard price in material master.
    In a nutshell, why "Reorganization of Cost Estimation"(CKR1) is to be done before "Price change" (MR21).
    Hope that my query is clear.
    Thanks
    Nikesh Patel

    Nikesh,
    1. Reorganization of cost estimate means deletion of cost estimate, by using the transaction code CKR1 you can delete the current cost estimate, marked (future) cost estimate. It is advisable to do the CKR1 before any goods movements for that material.
    Generally this will perform when the business realized that released cost estimate is wrong.
    2. MR21 will use to update the standard price for the materials. when you update the price as per the new standard price your inventory will evaluates at that time there is an accounting entry if your new standard price is greater than old standard price.
    Inventory dr to Revaluation inventory cr.
    The above GL accounts will trigger as per the OBYC--> UMB settings.
    Please let me know if you need any further help.

    Ravi

  • Error in Cost Estimate through SAP t code CK11n

    Dear All,
    we are encountering a problem in the Production server with regards to the costing of the finished goods materials u201CFERTu201D, when cost estimate is ran through CK11N, the system pick up standard price maintianed in material master of Raw material.
    please note that we valuate our raw material on MAP and price control indicator V has been maintained for all raw materials
    our material are coming form our BOM and procurement type F has been maintained in MRP view
    We also want to share that before executing the cost estimate we updated moving average price through t code MR21 ( as at the time of GRN of these raw materails, moving average price was disturbed due to wrong per unit price entered in PO by one end user)
    we have throughly examined configuration for standard cost estimate of material with Qunatity structure.it is ok from all respect, if we execute costing run for same material in Developemnt server, cost estmate is executing accuratley by picking MAP price. the differnce of the step between dev and production server is to update prices through MR21
    Immediate reply is highly appreciated----please advice

    Dear Pradeep,
    in our case , strategy sequence in valuation variant is "Valuation price according to price control in material master " and then is "standard price"
    in accounting view of material master we have maintained price control indicator "v" i.e MAP
    i once again do inform that results of cost estimate is accurate if i execute in my Dev server i,e raw materials are being costed at MAP
    plz advcie
