Cost estimate number

Hello CO experts,
Could anyone help me understand on what basis SAP generates Cost estimate number? I mean, every time I run CK11N and save does SAP creates a new Cost estimate number? Does it also stores in KEKO/KEPH when CK11N is run n saved? How different would it be when CK40N is run? Anyone of you happen to know/research on this?
Thanks for your time.

Hi,
a new plan cost estimate number is created for every material / plant combination that is costed the first time.
Every additional plan cost estimation uses the same plan cost estimation number but the costing version (KALKA), costing date (KADKY), the calculation version (TVERS), valuation variant (BWVAR) differs and creates a new record in table KEKO:

    If you create accounting data or costing data for a material for the first time, a so-called cost estimate number for the material is assigned by the system.
    However, no such number could be assigned for this material.
    Thanks and Regds

  • Incorrect assignment of cost estimate number to the material key

    Hi,
       While doing GR for a particular PO we are getting error msg that "Incorrect assignment of cost estimate number to the material key"
    First we thought that this error might be missing of standard prices for materials. Even though creation of standard prices has not solved the problem.Could you please explain me clearly
    1) what are the reasons for this error.
    2)what is the soltuion for this?

    Hi,
    I assume that Material Ledger is active, isn't it?
    Message C+451 is usually caused if there are some entries in ML without any entry in the MM tables (MBEW, QBEW, EBEW).
    These inconsistencies can be identified with the help of program MLHELP_CHECK_MULTIPLE_CKMLHD. Correction can always and only be done by SAP Support. So if this report shows inconsistencies, you should create a message for component CO-PC-ACT.

  • How do view previous cost estimate price in material master

    Dear,
    friend i want to see the previous standard estimate price of FG and SFG  in material master data.i can view current and future standard price. But not the previous price so kindly anybody suggested me, is there any configuration needed for view previous price in controlling module.
    Thanks
    advance.

    You can try table MBEWH table for Material valuation price for previous periods
    Or get product cost estimate number KALNR field from  KEKO and use that as an input to CKIS table. Here cost is displayed as itemization

  • Latest Cost estimate itemization Table

    Dear All,
    Could some one tell the table name where I can fine the particular material's latest released cost estimate date by each item number and item category.
    I use the CKIS table , but the Costing date field (KADKY)  of  CKIS  is not matching with my latest cost release date in my cost estimate (Cost date from : KADAT)
    For example :
    Material master  R1234
    Costing Date from  :  01/01/2014   ( Latest cost  released date)
    Item Number : 1
    Item Category  : L
    Value :   100
    Thanks,
    Ram

    Hi Ram
    CKIS table is the itemization table.
    Cost is always released from 1st of the month and this might be different than the Costing Date From. You need to find the Cost estimate number from keko and then retrieve from CKIS
    Also if you are intending to make a Z program, use the Bapis. I have answered it many times, you can search it
    Those bapis start as Bapi*cost*estimate*. You can search in SE37

    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.

  • 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.

  • Valuation with Material cost estimate

  • How to find out operation unit used in preliminary cost estimate.

    Please tell me in which table operation unit used in cost estimate is stored.I dont want information from routing.Can i get the information from cost estimate table itself.

    ttSize 'estimates' the storage required for a table (and indexes) based on the table schema and the number of rows to be stored in the table.
    DSSIZE reports several values from the SYS.MONITOR table. The main one of interest here is PERM_IN_USE_SIZE: 416840. This means that currently 416,840 KB (~407 MB) of memory is used within the datastore. Have you loaded the data for all three tables from Oracle into TimesTen (LOAD CACHE GROUP)? It would be very unusual for there to be such a discrepancy between the size estimated by ttSize and the actual memory needed...
    Unfortunately, there is no way to find out the exact amount of memory actually occupied by a specific table in TimesTen :-(

  • How to change price total for "Change Unit Cost Estimate Screen" for KKE1 Tcode ?

    There is a requirement of bringing the Material Price in KKE1 while entering the Item Catogory M ( M for Material) from the Gross Price in the condition type (P001) that is entered in the Purchase order.Currently systems brings the material value from MAP(Moving average Price) in the Material Master data.
    I have looked into the user exit 1) EXIT_SAPLKKEC_001 2) EXIT_SAPLKKEC_002  available in this T code KKE1.When I put break-point in these user-exit,it is not going in debugging mode while fetching the price value in Price total column  for "Change Unit Cost Estimate" screen in KKE1.
    How will change pricing condition for material in KKE1?
    I want to change price condition for material  as marked in red as shown in the screen-shot.
      Where will write the code such that I will bring Price Total based on material number as shown in the image?

  • CK24 Cost Estimate Release Log wrong message variables returned.

    We are testing our upgrade to ECC 6.04 from 4.7.   I've created a cost estimate via CK11N.  I then use CK24 to mark and release the cost estimate.  At the completion of the release, a log is returned with the correct price change document and the correct number of materials and cost estimates updated.  I then select the green arrow to go back a screen.  It then shows an ALV grid with the new cost estimate std cost, price unit, and price change document.  If I select the log icon from this screen, it shows me a price change document that is several months old and the associated number of materials and cost estimates updated.  If I go back to CK24 screen and select log, it also will return this several month old document.  Has anyone else experienced this inconsistancy and know how to resolve?

    Seems like a system issue where the document though generated as not been updated. Looks like upgradation related issue.

  • Can I find out, with user has deleted all cost estimates with CKR1?

    Hi Community,
    ich have a major problem: all our standard material don't have a cost estimate any more, because a unknown user has deleted all current cost estimates. Can I find out, with user has used the CKR1 transaction? And much more importend: how can I solve the problem? Do I need to re-calculate all the material?
    Thanks for any idea and help
    PoD

    Hi,
    you have to make the costing run, marking, releasing again but thats not the whole work.
    If there are PP-orders that have been created based on the old/deleted plan cost estimates, the variance calculation will not work as the plan cost estimate is missing (even if the new one is released in the same period).
    Thus variance calculation is not possible for those orders... You have to settle the whole balance to receiver object by removing the variance key in PP-order. Try first for one particualr order to see if there are some other problems that need to be solved during month-end-closing.
    How to find out who has executed CKR1 (SAPCKR1): Check authorizations for (hopefully) a small number of user who are allowed to use CKR1.
    Use T-Code ST03N, in the left upper window double-click "total" (maybe click a day if you can imagine which (possible) date it was). In lower left section open "user and settlement statistics" and then click "user profile". Now go to each possible user and look for T-Code CKR1.
    This can be time-consuming but its worth a try...
    For the future: restrict CKR1 to a very small number of user (and they should be well trained...). I once had a company (with poor authorization concept) but CKR1 was blocked in SM01 and a ZCKR1 was created and in this Z-transaction USER-name was checked (if SY-USNAM...) so only the use names named in this Z-program were allowed to use ZCKR1. Not the best way but sufficient for them...
    Good luck, Christian

  • Shipment Cost Estimate

    A Forwarding Agent is used for logistics of materials from point A to B. He is responsible for loading, conveyance and unloading.
    There is a price for the tendered shipment which should not be exceeded by the shipper. The price is fixed by SHIPPER before tendering.
    How do you make configuration for Shipment Cost Estimate calculation ? Please let me know..Its urgent.
    Thanks

    Hi Siddharth,
    Shipment cost in shipping contains create the shipment cost doc., process the shipment, monitor the shipment, calculate the shipment and settle the shipment.
    Shipment cost doc. contains calculate the shipment, assign to accounting, transfer to FI and settle the shipment cost.
    Shipment cost doc. divided into header, item and sub item data.
    We need to assign transportation planning point to com. code to calculate and settle the shipment cost.
    1. Define date rules:- In this IMG activity you define the date rules that determine which dates are chosen for determining the pricing date and the settlement date and the sequence in which they are accessed. The dates can be, for example, the end of transportation planning or the start of lading.
    2. Define and assign tariff zones:-In this IMG activity, you define the tariff zones and assign postal code areas to the tariff zones for each organizational key. The tariff zones are represent geographical influencing factors during the calculation of shipment costs.
    3. Define no. ranges for shipment cost:-In this IMG activity you define the number interval for the shipment cost documents. When creating a shipment cost document, a unique number is generated. The number comes from the number range that you create in this menu point as the internal number range.
    You can also create an external number range. The option to specify a number from the external number range when creating the shipment cost document is, however, not currently supported.
    4. Shipcost types and item cat.:-In this IMG activity, you define the shipment cost types and item categories that contain all important control features for the shipment cost document, such as:
    Number range
    Status requirements for the shipment documents
    Parameters for shipment costing
    Parameters for shipment settlement
    5.shipcost relevance and default for shipcost types:-In this IMG activity you assign the shipment cost types to the shipment types and set an indicator to show whether the cost type is relevant to shipment costing. You do this for every cost type in every shipment type. .
    Example
    For the 'individual shipment' shipment type, you set the indicator for the cost types shipment header and leg, but not for the cost types border crossing or load transfer point. You also assign a shipment cost type to the shipment type. When you create a shipment cost document, this shipment cost type is determined automatically.
    6. Settlement:-
    Certain control elements must be maintained for calculating shipment costs with the transportation service agent and for forwarding of shipment costs to FI and CO.
    you can maintain these control elements and carry out the corresponding assignments.
    -- Assign purchasing data
    --maintain acc. assignment cat.
    --automatic G/L acc. determination
    --automatic determination of CO assignments
    --invoices and credit memos
    A2. Shipment cost:
    The process of calculating the shipment costs for a shipment.
    Shipment costs:
    The total costs involved in the shipment of a product. Not just pure freight costs, but also cleaning costs, insurance, and other costs as well
