Cost estimate issue (Urgent!!!!)

Hello,
While doing the Cost estimate i am getting below error message for Material 'A':
It was showing me cost estimate earlier , but we wanted that for a particular Cost element (already existing in CCS) planning needs to be done and needs to be included in Std cost of material.
I have not touched Cost component strcuture nor the Splitting structure. Everything is in place.
I have added Planning in KP06 for Costcenter and Cost element (non activity related)
Then i did KSS4 - Splitting allocation to activity types
and then KSPI - Price calculation.
After that i am performing the cost estimate it is giving me below error. Can u please help. Even if i have undone what i have done it is giving the same message.
Points would be rewarded imm.
Cost center 1045262000, activity type M_RUN: Actvty price differs fr. cost comp splt
Message no. CK687
Diagnosis
For cost center 1045262000/activity type M_RUN, the activity price calculated for price strategy 2 is different from the corresponding primary cost component split.
Possible causes:
You are working in Cost Center Accounting with manually-set activity prices that are included in the iterative activity price calculation.
Rounding error (in this case, notify your system administrator).
System response
Costing ignores the primary cost component split from Cost Center Accounting, and assigns the costs to the product cost estimate through the allocation cost element of the cost component split.

Hi rajeshwari,
have u got a solution? if not, then go to T-code KSBT. Check there must not be a rate calculated for the Cost center 1045262000, activity type M_RUN.
For the sake of removing the error message, go to T-code KP26, key in activity as 1 & fixed rate also as Rs 1 . Save this & again execute cost estimate .
Aslo check Tcode KSV3 if u have a distribution cycle in place. Then check splitting.
Hope this helps

Cost estimates issue

Hello,
A mistake was made when we release our annual costing run for standard cost: validity dates 01.01.2011 to 31.01.2011 instead of covering the whole year.
As a result, the production variance analysis (where it is broken down into categories ..) cannot be made from February on, the system check the validity dates. It all falls into u2018residual category.
So I need to release the same cost estimates, with the correct validity dates.
Do you think itu2019s possible without redoing a costing (which may bring different results)
Thanks in advance
KR - Loï

Hi Loic
Redoing cost estimate is the only option....
I agree with you that reoding may bring diifferent results... However, if your activity prices are not changed and the Planned prices of materials are also not changed, dont expect any major changes in it

Cost estimate Issue

Hi All,
We are creating cost estimate and got error message "Credit Key not defined".
We are not maintaining credit key in our cost sheet and we dont follow this process.
Please let us know what is missing in our process according to user transaction level .And what does this mean in costing terms.
Regards,
Payal Saxena

Hi,
1). Check weather you have assigned any Credit key in your Costing Sheet which is not available in system? Or
2). If you dont assign any Credit in Costing sheet then remove the costing sheet assignment in Costing Variant/Valuation Variant
Remember,If you remove Costing sheet assignment, it wont pull any overheads in Standard Costestimate.

Cost centers ISSUE (Urgent Urgent...Plz)

Hi Fernds!!!!!
If i assign one GL account to one cost center,,,Does that account automatically goes to COPA? Or Else,,, i have to do any other assignments in OKB9????
for example...if i assign to cost center and it is directly going to COPA,,then what is the use of COPA assessment Run???
Give me the suitable solution

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.

Material Cost estimate realted issue and question

Hello,
we have a multi level BOM, I have makre and released for one sub level material in the BOM, there are few other sub- materils which need to be costed, can i do the cost estimate for the highest level of BOM or do i need to do first for each sub- component in the BOM, also for the one sum- companent wchi is realesed can that be changed.
please let me know.

Hi
Both are in one way the same.
Material cost estimate can be calculated as
1. Material with quantity structure
2. Material without quantity structure

Error cost estimate urgent

Dear Friends ,
Please give some solution for following error ,
Cost estimate for material S1 / plant 1000 is incorrect
Message no. CK168
*Diagnosis*
*The system found errors in the cost estimate of material component S1 from plant 1000.*
*System Response*
*The results of raw material cost estimates that have errors are not used in the product just costed. Only cost estimates that do not have errors or that were released are used in cost rollup.*
*All assemblies that contain material S1 from plant 1000 in their structure are indicated as incorrect.*
*The message sets the costing status of the assembly to 'costed with errors'.*
*Procedure*
*Eliminate the error at the highest low-level code.*
Regards
Raghu

Hi,
If you check the error log and drill down completely you will find the materials which are costed with errors.
Depending on material type define the procurement alternative in Ck91n and do the costing by using CK11n and CK24.
I hope this can help you...

Digits Of Significance/Rounding Issue-Cost Estimate With Quantity Structure

I have an Excel based BOM which includes Material (Yield) Qty, plus a scrap factor. This adjusted yield is then multiplied by the Unit Price to get the Extended Amount. An example from my file is:
Material 10-0766 = yield of 1.824 sq ft less 4% scrap 0.07 sq ft = adjusted yield 1.897 sq ft * 1.836 USD/sq ft = Ext. Amt of 3.483 USD.
In SAP, I created a BOM via CS01 with this material as a line item, 1.824 as the qty, UOM is FT2 (sq ft) and I added a Assembly Scrap of 4% with the Net ID indicator checked. When I create a cost estimate via CK11N (in our SAP AFS 6.0 sandbox), the itemization for this material reads: qty of 1.897, total cost of 3.48 USD.
The math all works, but the resultant USD amount in SAP is short by .003 USD. I realize that USD currency is configured to only 2 decimal places, and that is fine. But, I thought that the calculations that costing was doing was retaining all the digits of significance past the 2 decimal places being shown, rather than rounding off to 2 decimal places. There are 24 materials in this BOM, and the total delta between my Excel sheet total (17.647 USD) and my SAP estimate (17.63 USD) is 0.017 USD. If I look at each item, the cumulative difference is due to each line rounding off to 2 decimal places.
The units of measure (via tcode CUNI) are all configured to show display 3 decimal places (field DECAN) and round to 5 decimal places (field ANDEC).
Does anyone have any information/suggestions around the precision in my SAP cost estimate? Am I stuck with these differences, or is there something I can do differently to prevent them? I know I can increase digits of significance in Activity Price Calculation, but I can't find anything similar in Product Cost Planning. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
To achieve you have to run the costing run twice once normally.
Secondly you create an alternate BOM 2 by having the same alternate BOM 1 and remove the 2 materials which you dont want.
Execute the costing run, provide the details required in the Costing data screen, press enter, go to the Qty structure screen give the details of the Alternate BOM 2 in the BOM details and execute the costing run.
Save the cost estimate, which would be have been costed without the values of two materials as you wanted by using the alternate BOM 2.
Then use CK24, select the option "other prices" to release the cost estimate for the commercial price only by selecting the indicator of commercial price 3 only.

Urgent- Marked cost estimate

Hello,
Kinldy let me know how to delete a previosuly marked cost estimate , i am re running the costing run but it's failin at costing point sayin it;s already marked but we did never released it first time.
plese let me know,

You have to use the Re-organization through CKR1. But be cautious of this transaction if you are using in production. If you forget to do a proper selection, you may have to repent, as it may wipe out the whole cost estimates that supports the already released cost .
Be patient and restrict as much in selection Choose the material, plant and select future cost estimate.

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.

Sales order cost estimate with GIT account

Hi,
Business introduced Goods - in - Transit (Balance sheet account), so PGI will always post to GIT and Invoice it will get reversed.
For one of the Configuratble material (MTO) scenario we need the Sales order cost estimate to get the Planned cost.
When i try to execute the sales order cost estimate it says cost element doesnot exist for GIT GL (WHich is right).
But with maintaining the GIT how to achieve the sales order cost estimate.
I tried to create CE category 90 for GIT, in Cost estimate am getting error CE 90 not supported for Cost estimate.
Kindly help this is kind of urgent req for us
Thanks,
Sudha

Hello Ashley
Yes, if you have done your settings correctly, especially Requirements class set up (see the documentation link), then the cost estimate will flow to a condition type in Pricing, usually EK01/EK02 conditions. These conditions are used to calculate sales prices (PR00) in cost-plus (mark-up) scenarios.
Link: http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/90/ba6da4446711d189420000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
However Profit margin as calculated in a sales order comes from VPRS condition (which is based in Material Master) and is the difference of net value and VPRS condition value in normal circumstance.
Hope other more knowledgeable experts will weigh in.

Sales order cost estimate not happening because of GIT B/S account

Hi,
Requirement is to have Goods in Transit account in PGI and reverse it in Invoice no issues iwth it.
For the same sales order user wants to get cost using sales order cost estimate.
When i run that am getting following error
Item 00001 : Cost element 14001212 does not exist in CO area 0010 for 10/07/2011
Message no. KK689
Even though i maintain the CE for Balance sheet account with Cost element category 90 its not accpeting.
Can you please help me on how to proceed for sales order cost estimate.
Thanks,
sudha

hi,
if you give a balance sheet account in obyc , you will not be able to create a cost elementin category 01 , accordignly system will give error in sales order costing , as its not able to get correct cost element in cost planning.
if your requirement is just to post cogs to a balance sheet account which is goods in transit and when invoice is done cogs to be posted.
you should actually use revenue based RA functionality on sales order instead of assinging a balance sheet account in obyc.
in this approach;
- first assign a p/l account in obyc and create cost element in cateogry 01.
- create revenue based RA and assign RA key in requirement class.
- in OKG8 for RA category WIPR and your ra key assign , goods in transit account and give a offsetting account which is not cost element (credit entry in offsetting account nullify debit in account given in OBYC when GIT is posted , when billing is done system will automatically post a oppsite entry in both account).
-in OKG8 for RA category COSR give the COGS account and a offsetting account without cost element (credit entry in offsetting account nullify debit in account given in OBYC when COGS is posted).

Error reading material cost estimate for sales order (KE292)

Dear All,
I have an issue with billing. we are posting july month transactions, the material cost is maintained through MR21. When releasing billing document for accounting we are getting error message like"Error reading the material cost estimate for sales order "11"
Message no. KE292
Diagnosis
In Profitability Analysis (CO-PA), the system tried to valuate item 000010 of sales order 11 by reading the corresponding product cost estimate.
However, no product cost estimate could be found for this sales order item.
The system accessed product costing for product AMLFP011011XX00P using costing key YB3 as defined in the
CO-PA Customizing settings.
System Response
The system cannot process the document any further.
Procedure
Check your Customizing settings."
We cross checked with other client as a current date and we ran cost estimate through CK40N with same material. and we posted entries. Here it is working fine. but in above process it is not working. Can you pls guide me where i missed.
Regards,
Nagaraju,

Hi,
When the Costing Key is assigned to the material types in the COPA customizing, then system expects Cost estimation when billing is released to Accounts.
If you dont run cost estimation but update the material master through MR21, system will not accept as in the Costing key configuration you must have selected the Current Standard price field for the valuation.
Hence, try to run cost estimation and then do releasing.
Thanks & Regards

Cost Estimate error is coming at the time of billing document release

Dear All,
Hi, I am facing one problem that is whenever i am releasing the billing document system gives the error message.
Error : No standard cost estimate found for this material 164001001.
Here problem is some finished products we have a cost run and other finished materials we don't have a cost run. Other finished materials billing document release time we are facing the above error. There is no costing run for other finished materials. Here we have a CO-PA.
I have mainatined the costing key settings(ke40) in co-pa. In Ke40 t.code i have maintained the below settings.
1. I have selected transfer standard cost estimate radio button under determine material cost estimate.
2. Costing variant is 1010( This is our varaint)
3.Costing version is 01
4. Period indicator : Current standard cost estimate account to entry in material master.
I have maintained the above settings in ke40 t.code. Please suggest if any thing is wrong on above settings.
And also i have maintained costing key to material type assignments in ke4j t.code.
Here i maintained the three point of valuation (PV), One is real valuation, second is manual planning, third is automatic planning.
here i have assigned material type (fert) to costing key in costing key1 filed.
Please suggest if any thing wrong in the above settings. Still i am facing the same error at the time of billing document releasing time. Anybody please help to me. It is a very urgent to me.
Thanks & Regards,
Reddy

Hi,
This is a common error when COPA is activated and when the Costing Key is assigned according to the Material type in KE4J.
When you need Cost estimation for few FGs and dont require for other FG, then you list out the materials for which you require SCE and then assign these list of materials to the costing key in KE4H(Costing key for Products) leaving out those which dont require.
But detail the requirement further to facilitate the solution.
Thanks & Regards,
Ravi Kumar
