Cost of carrying Inventory

Hello,
My client wants to capture the cost of Stocking, cost of labor and other miscellaneous charges on inventory.
For Example, we have Material which needs to be kept in temperature below room temperature, so for this we need to keep it in refrigerator. Now the cost of Refrigeration and other expenses should be posted on the inventory.
What is the process of loading the cost of carrying the inventory, labour charges and other expenses on inventory.
Regards
Prabhjot Singh Nayyar

Hello,
The cost of refrigeration of a particular material and other expenses which will be spent over taking care of the inventory, cannot be included in the PO.
How can you know what amount you will be spending in next six months for taking care of Inventory at the time of PO creation ?

How to create new cost groups in inventory org using API or open interface?

Hi,
I would be very kind of you if you can provide me with a solution to my question below.
I have a requirement of copying all the cost groups from one inventory org and creating the same cost groups in another inventory org using programmatically. Is there any API or Open interface that can be used to create the cost groups in the new inventory organization? If not can you suggest any other way of fulfilling this requirement?
I would highly appreciate your help.
Thanks,

Add On costs to the Inventory at sales plant.

Hello Consultants,
My client is an automotive client we move the finished goods from Prod.Plant to sales plant . Fin. goods at sales plant are valuated at MAP with Split valuation based on serial number . The client wants to add some add on costs to the finished product after it is in the inventory of the sales plant. What are my options here? we don't have material ledger active.

The trick is showing icons and text which enlarges the tool bar. The native resolution of my screen is 1920x1080, so the height of the add-on bar makes it hard to see using only icons. Another problem was the AniWeather extension because it read across the picture of the persona and it could not be moved lower . Moving the location to the bottom of the screen eliminated the problem.
Thanks for all your help.

Loading of additional costs on to inventory

Hi All,
How do load additional costs (freight, insurance, import taxes etc) on to inventory. The invoices for the above services will be received only in the month end. By this time raw material might have been already received and the basic invoice (commercial invoice) already booked. Additional cost that I book in the month end should pro rata increase the inventory values of the received lots so that my contribution figures are accurate.
How do I do this? Any document available?
thanks

You need the Periodic Costing, this is addressed in the Cost Management User Guide, There is also a Good white paper in Metalink in the Top Tech Doc under Cost Management section. This white paper explains with examples how to use this type of costing and how to integrate all the additional charges into your ost.

Costs Report for inventory items

Does anyone know if there is a report where i can see all the items with their costs? I am using moving averag valuation method.

Hi Jacobo,
I think you could use the Inventory Audit Report under Inventory-Inventory Report module to track the item cost.

Changing cost of posted inventory

Hi all,
Is there a way to change the price on posted inventory?
I was putting in initial inventory and noticed I made a mistake when entering the cost after I already posted the inventory.
So now my G/L account is off and so is my GP.
Thank for the help.

Hi Andrew......
You should go for Inventory Revaluation.
Just go to Inventory>Inventory Transactions> Inventory Revaluation.
Select the items and change the current price to new price. This will change or update your existing price......
Try once in Demo DB first......

Cost Carrying Over in Drop Ship Processing

Hello Experts...
When doing a drop ship sales order, this is the following situation. Item A has cost at Warehouse 01 (stock warehouse) of $400 and cost at Warehouse 03 (drop ship warehouse) of $425.
When doing a drop ship sales order, the correct cost of $400 from WH 1 is displayed initially until the WH is changed to WH 3, then it displays WH3 cost of $425. However, when the Purchase Order Confirmation Screen is displayed, the cost reverts back to $400. We have done a test 15 times in the Demo SAP B1 and even more information is not passed on using the "Copy To" function (for example, the Delivery does not pick up any costs - it is blank when processing a drop ship).
Of course it could be changed at the Purchase Order Confirmation Screen, BUT a real simple statement comes up of why does a Sales Person have to change it when the cost is in the system and is displaying correctly on the Sales Order. From a common sense perspective of financial matters and productivity, it takes the statement even further - why even put a cost on the Drop Ship Warehouse when the system does not pick it up. It gets even worse when the Gross Profit comes out to being 100%. The whole drop ship process seems to be a mystery in the SAP Documentation.
QUESTION: Is there some setting that needs to be changed so that the correct drop ship cost is carried throughout the system automatically and all of this wasted time is cut out?
The user guide published on Februrary 2009 covering this topic does not say anything about COMPLETE drop ship processing and cuts off at the display of the Purchase Order Confirmation Screen on page 6.
Thanks - Zal

Hello Julie - thanks for your reply...version is 2007 SP01 PL05...
Maybe the problem with the cost being carried over with "Copy To" was corrected in PL07? Will go to the release notes...
This is getting to be a comedy - again, I am using and testing this function on SAP's provided "vanilla" Demo database with no changes, so if SAP cannot set up drop ship functioning properly on their own Demo, who can???
OK - yes, the cost of the product is pulled from the associated vendor which is problem number one - for companies that sell both inventoried and drop ship items on a regular basis, the cost of that product is never the same. For vendors, onsies and twosies being shipped to our customers incurs a higher expense than a shipment to one site of 100 or 200 items and they will quote a different cost to cover those expenses. It just makes common sense that the vendor's incurred expenses to fill the drop ship versus shipment to our waregouse is going to be different, doesn't it? Therefore the actual cost and dollars paid for the product will be different from WH01 over WH03 (or any other area - Base Price versus Discount Purchase Price), and the gross profit is going to be different between the two versions of a sales process. Creating a thousand different price lists certainly is not the answer!
And this begs a very simple question then - why even put in an item cost on the Item Inventory Tab for the drop ship warehouse AND why does the system pull the WH 03 dollar amount into the Sales Quotation/Order Gross Profit Base Price field but not transfer it to the Purchase Order? Why create a constant flood of erroneous Gross Profit information on drop ship AR invoices unless you are happy to have wasted productivity?
I think the real problem is that this is obviously a very bad design for an SAP B1 function and folks are doing all of these workarounds and extra steps (at least in PL05 so far) to get their work done. I think it is hilarious that when trying to enter a ticket directly to SAP on this, I got the reply that "that is the way the system is designed" (albeit bad design and no effort to direct me to documentation) and had to post my question here according to new SAP B1 support standards.
I am going to close this question as there really is not an answer except "way the system is designed" and this thread is leading nowhere.
Many thanks to everyone who took the time to reply - lol - of course, thanks with points!!!
Take care all - Zal

Not all storage bins in LX16 transaction Carry Out continous inventory

Hello,
I would be please if anybody knows the way of working of transacction LX16. Our client is running this transaction and have the problem that for a warehouse number and storage type, the report not shows all the storage bins that is created and with stock. If we run LX03 transacction, for the same selection we obteins all the storage bins, but if we do the same for LX16 the storage bin is not showed.
Can somebody help us??
Thanks in advance

hi
LX16 transaction is only for " Continious Physical inventory Counting Only"
LX03 is for bin status Report
Take Continuous Inventory
Purpose
With the continuous inventory method, you take inventory for a certain number of storage bins in a storage type. The inventory can take place at any time during the fiscal year.
Continuous inventory has the following advantages over the annual inventory count at the end of the fiscal year:
The effort and costs for the inventory is not concentrated on a certain day or days but is distributed over the entire year. This means that the warehouse supervisor can plan the workforce needed for the workload in the warehouse more accurately.
Inventory can be conducted during slow times in the warehouse, such as during summer vacation periods.
With a reduction in the effort required at the end of the fiscal year, you can respond better to problems that might arise during a year-end closing.
When an inventory is carried out on a continuous basis, up-to-date information about the correspondence between the warehouse stock and the book inventory is always available.
Prerequisites
Inventory methods are defined for each storage type. To define a continuous inventory for a storage type, see Activities ® Physical Inventory ® Define Types per Storage Type in the Warehouse Management section of the Implementation Guide (IMG) documentation.
Process Flow
To run a continuous inventory, you need to complete the following steps in the order displayed:
Plan the inventory by selecting storage bins, for which you want to take inventory.
Create the system inventory record
Activate the system inventory record
Print the warehouse inventory list.
Take physical inventory in the warehouse.
Enter the inventory results
Close the inventory
Process differences in Warehouse Management (WM) and record them in Inventory Management (IM).
hope this helps to solve your issue

Cost Roll-Inventory Evaluation

Hi we recently did a cost roll after Go Live as we had some Problems with Master Data ,so after doing Cost roll the inventory gone up by $50K,so we need to do some adjustment to our inventory as our Stock Material Inventory Account Shows a increased amount of $50K when compared to before cost roll.
Could anyone please suggest What are the entries can be made so that it can reflect in the company Income Statement?
Regards,,,
Hartz

Hi,
There are 2 ways to handle this.
1. Use CKR1 and delete the wrong cost roll up and redo Ck11n with correct materials in BOM and routing.
2. Use MR21 and reduce the price of the material directly.
Above both solutions will reduce the stock value.

Select cost center for physical inventory difference posting

Hello,
While posting physical inventory differences (transactions MI07 or MI10) the choice of cost center is not offered. A default cost center is used by the system.
Is there a way to choose the cost center for inventory difference postings? This is useful considering we have several inventories managed by several business units with different cost centers.
Kind regards,
Sergei Volkov

this is from OSS note 13423:
Symptom
Key word: Inv acct assign
No account assignment can be entered when posting inventory
discrepancies.
Additional key words
MI07
Cause and prerequisites
This function is not implemented.
Solution
In Customizing an account assignment can be made for every inventory
adjustment account. To do this the inventory adjustment account must
first be defined as a cost element (Transaction KA01 / KA06):
Accounting -> Controlling -> Cost centers -> Master data -> Cost element
-> Create primary / secondary. Then an account assignment can be made
for the cost element (Transaction OKB9):
Tools -> Customizing -> Setup menu -> Accounting -> Controlling -> Cost
centers -> Actual postings -> Automatic account assignment.
If this account assignment is implemented every posting to the
particular inventory adjustment account will automatically receive the
appropriate account assignment.

Hi,
Check if there is any "form personalization" applied to the item master form.

Inbound Logistics: What are the best options to capture freight costs?

We attempted to implement a freight payables solution which was built on Inbound Deliveries> Inbound Shipments> Inbound Shipment Cost Documents. The PO line items were flagged with a conf.control key which made the above inbound documents relevant.
Very long story short, we had to remove this functionality because of two major issues:
1.     The Inbound Deliveries were created with incorrect quantities some of the time. When the Inbound Deliveries were created with incorrect quantity those errors caused major problems (e.g., over accrual of freight cost to the tune of several millions of dollars!!!).
2.     Also, when the Inbound Deliveries were created with incorrect quantity MRP went berserk (e.g., when the IB delivery has the wrong quantity that shows up in MD04 and the planners are left scratching their heads wondering why the supplier is shipping so much or so little).
I wonu2019t get into the details of how the Inbound Deliveries were being created but suffice to say they were manually entered by the supplier without the benefit of an EDI transaction- it was more of a manual entry- hence the data accuracy problem.
The point of this post is to gain feedback from other customers who have implemented an inbound freight payables solution with success & understand what processes were used to make your project successful.
For example, if I had a u201Cwish listu201D Iu2019d request the following:
1.     The IB delivery document type Iu2019d like to use should be non-MRP relevant. This will eliminate the confusion that occurred when planners run MD04 and see all of the shipment notifications. Also, if the MIGO_GR transaction is used to receive the POu2019s, they will see the quantities on the PO, not on the IB delivery. This would be good for us from a business continuity stand point. However, if the IB delivery is not MRP relevant, than your GR does not accrue the freight cost defined on the SCD which short circuits the entire point of having these documents.
u2022     Q: Have you had any success implementing an IB freight solution with minimum impact to planning / inventory / operations?
2.     As mentioned above, the data accuracy of the IB delivery was problematic. Because of this issue we have changed our thinking so that we would require a EDI ASN to be sent from our supplier to our SAP system. Using EDI we feel that greater accuracy would be obtained since the quantities defined would map to what is being picked or at least aligned with what we would expect to be invoiced for. The problem is we donu2019t know how EDI capable our suppliers are.
u2022     Q: Has anyone had success implementing this with your suppliers on a large scale?
3.     Are there other inbound freight payment solutions that Iu2019m not thinking about u2013 custom or other that you have implemented & can share some of the specifics about? Iu2019d enjoy hearing about them. Since we are re-thinking what we implemented Iu2019m open to any suggestions.
Thanks so much for your time!
Rich Wortmann

Chandra,
Thank you for your reply. I'm aware of the freight condition approach you suggest & the ability to define the carrier in the freight condition.
We explored this functionality in the past. The problem/limitations we've experienced were as follows:
1. Essentially you have to know your freight cost & the carrier by PO line item at the time the PO is created. Both of these variables we typically cannot predict in our environment.
2. We have a lot of situations where the PO is considered a u201Cblanketu201D where it will remain open for a month up to a year. Knowing the entire freight cost for these PO's once they are created is impossible to predict so to support the freight conditions we would have to change our business process which would be a big effort for our organization.
3. Our suppliers ship product based on multiple PO's / PO lines, again it is impossible to predict what the per unit freight cost would be at the time a PO is generated.
These factors are what led us to the IB delivery solution which handles each one of these scenarios quite well provided you have good data when the IB delivery is created.
Regarding your second post: Thanks! This information is helpful.
Sincerely,
Rich Wortmann

Item cost in Bills of material(BOM)

How to see item cost(FIFO, Average) for all raw material when constructing BOM. I feel strange why SAP is calling out from price list since price list consist of purchase cost or selling price rather than actual inventory cost based on inventory valuation method?
Regards
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
What about using the "Last Calculated Pricelist". Would'nt that carry forward the Valuation Price? You would need to run a "Update Parent Prices Globally" to update the latest Valuation of the Item. Please check on this as I am not 100% sure of it.
So try this as it may work.
- Create a pricelist called "Valuation Pricelist" and base this pricelist on the "Last Calculated Pricelist" and at a factor of 1.
- Set your Components Item's Pricelist as the "Valuation Pricelist" on your Item's BOM.
- Set your Parent's Item Pricelist also to the "Valuation Priclist" on you Item's BOM and click the orange arrow/triangle button to update the "Parent Product Price" value.
- Update the BOM
- Run a full Production cycle and see what your results are and this should have a "Total Variance" (between your "Actual Components Cost" and your "Actual Product Cost") to zero $0.00
If I am correct, this should carry the total components' values over to that manufactured parent's value.
But every time you purchase a component ("Recieve"), you will need to do an "Update Parent Item Prices Globally".
Try this and let me know what your results are.
Thanks
