Cost of goods manufactured vs COGS+ Material ledger

Question

Hi Experts,
My company is implenting Material Ledger. They want to see the actual cost of goods manufactured. We are able to develop the actual cost of goods sold in COPA. The required report is to show:
1- Direct material used at standard + variances (price + usage) to give the actual.
2- Direct labor (standard + variances = Actual)
3- Manufacturing overhead ( standard + variances = Actual)
Attached excel file is showing the requirement.
Your guidance to develop this report by any means (Report painter, BI, other).

Hi Ahmed / Ajay.
1. In order reports KKO0, you dont see the revaluation of ML, as you said Consumption and Activities are revaluated at  Material level, and as far as i know, theres no way to add  records that represent the revaluation.
2. The easy way to have a Order Report revaluated at actual cost is with LIS(Logistic InfoSys), creating a Z infostructure (eg copy lis S027) that store consumption and activity QTY, and a user exit  that read the actual cost of consumed materials (depending if this is V, S2, S3) and activities and revaluate. In LIS, there are standard way to "re-post" or repopulate the infostructures. This LIS can be reported with the standard functions (ReportPainter, quers on SQ01), or create a Z tcode that show the info stored in the way you want. Problem: Not all know how to customize LIS, and also you need code in the exit.
3.  In my country (Peru), there are lots of companies that develop a Z Kardex valuated at actual cost (because, is a legal requirement), and also create Zprograms that calculate the order at actual cost (indeed, i create this reports twice). Its a bit complex, but not impossible and depends on custo EG if you have multiple valuations, you need to write code in order to get the infor for this specific valuations.
4. About COPA, you can post to copa the Actual Cost Component Split calculated by ML. In this CCS, you can identify the Labor, Direct Materials, and overheads.  You have 2 options, You can post the delta to the original field or have an aditional field that store the difference. This stuff is done in KE27, i see 1 example in the SCN (i guess i bookmarked). Its important to understand you dont have the detail of the delta per consumed material, just an agregated value.

5. There is a new ML DrillDown report functionality. Indeed, i couldnt spend time analizing the solution (my test system is with EHP5 and dont plant to upload the OSS), but i guess this is the future. You can look for info with tcode KKML0 in the marketplace, also check this oss 1639462 - ERP accelerators: enhancements in ML drilldown reporting
My questions:
What you want?
+ Order Report, i mean Cost detaild per Order? The Actual CCS por order?
+ Material Report? I mean, the monthly average of a Fert, and its CCS ?
+ a PA Report, that show Sales (Incomes), and Costs per matiral , split by Direct, Labor and OverHead?
