Cost of QC sample on Process Order

When we are posting GR of our Finished or semi finished goods an inspection lot will be created. when we take the Usage Decision on this lot and took samples from the total and post the remaining quantity in unrestricted. the cost will be charged on Process order, which is wrong. we want that the cost should be charged on a QC cost center. when we take Usage Decision on raw and packing material the it always ask for the cost center and the cost is charged on that cost center. in case of finished and semi finished it is not asking. and if we forced it to a cost center it always charged it to a process order.
1. explain me that charging of qc cost or sample cost on process order is standard?
2. what could be the solution of this problem?
3. what could be the work around of this?
Do participate points are guaranteed on value added input.........

Hi Syed ,
In that case what I can think of is introduce a new operation as quality inspection in routing & then implemenent activity as activity cost for the same . Now confirm the operation & there you can capture the time spend in quality & translate that in amount through the activity pricing ......
But in this also it will have effect in the order cost but you can differrentaiate the amount spend in mfg & amount in quality seperately...........
Thanks

Cost of UNBW Material in Process Order

Dear Gurus,
We have created UNBW Material for Raw Water used in our production process.
(Since we dont want any accounting effect of the raw water we have created it as UNBW Material)
Now when I do costing of product X which uses raw water the cost of raw water is getting added to arrive at the standard cost of product X.
But in the process order report "KOB1" though PP has confirmed the material the cost of it is not calculated.
Please guide how to bring the cost of raw water in the actual process order report of product X.
Thanks and Regards,
Amit Dhanurdhari

Hi,
As you have mentioned that it is a UNBW material, it carries no value and in real time absorbed as some expenses.
There is no price for this material and there is no account to capture the consumption as this material goes directly
to expense account. Apart from that you require that no fi entry is needed. Let me put in this way now.
Create Raw Water Consumption as a secondary cost element. Create Activity type Raw Water and assign this
cost element. Define activity price for this activity type for a cost center through KP26. Assign this activity in
a work center (this material need not figure in BOM).In OKTZ cost component structure enter this cost element
and assign it to Cost Center/Order. In this you have only CO postings for the cost estimate and no fi postings.

Actual Cost & Quantity not update in Process Order

HI,
Process order confirmed from Production person before maintain the actity price rate.
hence those confirmation are gone in to the error & found in t.code COFC
afterword the activity rates are maintained & we reprocess those confirmation thorugh COFC, now there is no COFC entries
but still actual quantity & cost not updated.

Costing data from Tables of Process Order Confirmation.

Dear Friends,
In which table is the Costing relevent data for process order confirmation stored.
We are developing a report for which we require material specific-
Target quantity / Actual quantity
Target costs / Actual costs
Thanks in advance.

Process Order Cost Analysis Target and Actual Quantity Missing

This is related to Process order costing .
Issue : Before activating Material Update field in Costing view 1 of Material master , we have created few process orders and Delivered .
Hence cost analysis shows Actual and target cost fields Empty in COST ANALYSIS report of order . After Updating field in Material master , New Process orders are calculated with Actual and Target cost .
Solution needed : How to do Actual and Target cost estimation back in cost analysis report for old process orders which are created before Material Update field ?

You have deleted the Component in the BoM.
Then you have created a production order, check if the start date of this order is after the date change in the BoM..... Can be that the component stills exists in the order ? Have you tried deleting the compoent in the order BoM ?

Overhead Cost in Process Order

Hi All
I need your expert inputs / suggestions to apply the correct method of calculating overheads in process order.
Requirement:
To calculate
a. Labor cost
b. Overhead Cost
c. Depreciation Cost of Machine
in a process order. Also .b. and .c. are dependent on labor time entered (a.)
What I have done:
I am new to PP and CO, so with my limited understanding I have done the following:
1. Created activities for labor, overhead cost and depreciation.
2. Created secondary cost elements
3. Created Standard Value Key
4. Added all the parameters (Labor, OVH, DEP)
5. Created a formula for these parameters
6. And used them in Resource and KP26
Problem:
With the above setup I get three values (Labor, OVH, Dep) to enter in the process order confirmation. However I need just one field : Labor time, for all the values to be calculated.
As OVH and Dep should use the same time as for Labor parameter but with different rate (as mentioned in KP26) is there a way out where I can just show Labor variable to be entered to the user and other two use that time also!
Or if you feel there can be different approach for the overheads and depreciation to be calculated kindly write back
Thanks in advance
-Rahul

Hi rahul
I understand you want to use same formula for cossting for the
a. Labor cost
b. Overhead Cost
c. Depreciation Cost of Machine
Then in work center-> costing tab you can mention same formula for the overhad and Depreciation which was using for labour cost.
Please check and come back.

Target Cost in Process Order not calculated

Hello,
In Process order, after deliver of FG the target cost is not getting calculated,
Could you please help me why the target cost is not calculated in process order.
I have configured all setting for WIP and Variance

Hi,
Target costs are only calculated after goods movements have occured on the order, the Target Costs are then calculated during the Variance calculation.
Target costs will only be calculated after the first goods receipt has been posted to the order. Also you have to ensure that the information to calculate target costs exists on the system in particular in OKV6.
This estimation is based on the customizing for the Target cost version in transaction OKV6 as in turn will the "real" calculation of the Target costs via the variance calculation.
So in OKV6 the Target cost will be based on preliminary costing on the order, an alternative cost estimate or the current standard cost estimate. Importantly if the choosen option is not fulfilled e.g. no current standard cost estimate, the target costs will not be predicted or calculated.

Waman

Actual cost for the Process Orders

Hi Experts,
I want to know the actual cost for total one month process orders.
I can check actual cost for each order in COR2- by entering in to cost analysis.
But, my request is, where to check actual cost for One perticular product for the total month (ex: 100 Orders) or certain period.
can eny body give solution by sparing your precious time.

Planned price in process order

Hi Gurus,
We have a problem with planned cost for the BOM in process order
We are not getting planned price for in-put materials, where as we are getting actual cost for the in-put materials
We have maintained price in material master.
Split valuation also maintained for the materials.
How to get the planned price for those in-puts.
please any body suggest me in this.
waiting for the reply

Confirmed Process order but with mistake on quantity for material.

Dear All,
The case is , User make mistake on putting large volume into material quantity within process order, However, this process order has been released , confirmed and delivery (DLV) status.
Since this large vquantity material will make the Cost extra larger than normal.
Therefore, is there way to change material quantity and recalcuate the cost again?
Many thanks !

Dear all,
After commuicated with User again, user has been done as below.
Step1)
User has been cancel the process order confirmation by T-code: CORS,
Step2)
Revesed the extra amount Quantity to Block stock to prevent Sales Person touch this extra quantity.
However, I checked there is no different on Actual costs after the cancel the Process order confirmation.
I have some confusing now..
1) is that once Process order confirmation cancelled, is that there Must no Actual cost in Accounting view?
2) If there is part of physical product produced, but the Process order has been cancelled afterward. How the cost calcuated? is that include the cost or exclude the cost?
Many Thanks for your help!
Best Regards

Process order variance calculation

Hi All,
We have Sub- Assemblies which are currently set up in the system as purchased, sub-contracted sub-assemblies. this is how we will procure these the large majority of the time. There will be instances, however, where we will need to build them in house. but when we run cost estimate and mark and release sytem is using sub-contract Quantity structure in cost roll and when we producing we are using different Quantity structure like like BoM and Routing.at the time of variance calulation we are getting errors becuase of conflict in cost estimate Quantity structure and process order Quantity structure.
How can i solve this issue?any help is appreciated...
I'm getting the following error..
Message no. KV181
Diagnosis
This message tells you which quantity structure was used by the cost estimate that calculated the target costs, and which quantity structure was used in the actuals.
The cost estimate that calculated the target costs did not use the quantity structure used in the actuals.
This means that the cost estimate used a different combination of task list type, task list group, and group counter than in the order itself (such as the production order).
Example:
Suppose the target costs were calculated in the standard cost estimate for the material, and that the standard cost estimate for the material is based on the routing identified by task list type N, task list group 50000309, and group counter 1.
Now suppose the production order specifies a routing identified by task list type N, task list group 50000309, and group counter 2. This would lead to the error.
System Response
The system cannot calculate target costs for the valuation of work in process or scrap.

Routing/master recipe in actuals differs from qty structure for target
Thanks,
Anusha

Hi,
Please check SAP Note 386816 for error KV181.
In general it is recommended to use the Cost estimate of the Process Order (Planned Cost Estimate) for the WIP at target calculation. In additional please pay attention to SAP Note 386816 which explains this procedure and which prerequisites must be met to calculate WIP at targets or the scrap variance. Even if the group counter of the routing is different you can still calculate WIP at targets but only if the message type of message KV181 is set to SPACE by Customizing settings.
Hope this will a bit help to you.

GR Cost not updating as Target Cost for process orders

Dear SAPians,
We are facing an issue in Target Vs Actual cost reporting for process orders. We are creating a process order after cost estimate of that material and doing the confirmations for activity cost. After that, GR has been done for the finished goods of that process order. That GR entry is updating the Actuals values but not updating the Target cost. When I am checking the standard report KKBC_ORD, I am getting the following figures.
Cost Elemnt Text     |     Target Cost     |     Actual Cost     |     Target Vs Act
Inventory Chnge FG     |     0     |     1,472,205.60-     |     1,472,205.60-
Packing Matrl Cons.     |     1,148,142.37     |     1,252,752.68     |     104,610.31
Raw Material Cons.     |     60,463.91     |     50,688.29     |     224.38
Semi-Fin Matrl Cns.     |     181,934.68     |     367,959.56     |     186,024.88
Labour Cost Activity     |     39,735.36     |     39,862.80     |     127.44
Machine Cst Activty     |     41,611.75     |     43,153.01     |     1,541.26
That 'Inventory Change FG' entry is showing the GR posting updating actuals and not target cost. This is causing huge difference in target vs actual cost that will affect the profit and loss figures ultimately.
What am I missing here? What should I do to update the GR amount in Target cost as well.

Dear,
Target Cost on Production Order or Process Order is shown only when Variance is Calculated.
So please calculate the Variance, system will show the Total Target Cost.

Target Cost in the settled process order become zero after cost deletion

Dear all,
User has standard cost estimates created in Jan 2010 that valid until the end of 2010 for every material in the system. user created a process order in April 2010. Target cost of the order was created based on the standard cost estimate and recipes as well as order qty. The order was also confirmed and settled in April 2010 without problem.
However, after I deleted all old costing estimates before I did a costing run for all materials in May 2010, the old order was resettled and all Target cost is removed from the order. I guess system try to look at April costing estimate but it is not there since it was deleted before I created the new costing estimate in May. Therefore, all varainces are throwed into remaining variances since the target cost become zero.
Other than mark the settled order for deletion or keep all old costing estimates, I am just wondering is anyway in the configuration to prevent the system to recaculate the target cost again for the settlement so I can avoid the problem happens?
Thanks.

Target Vs Acual Cost Comparison for multiple process orders

Dear SAPians,
I want to take a report for target vs actual cost for all process orders and product cost collectors created in a particular period. I have checked the standard report KKBC_ORD that serve my purpose but for a single order. I want the same report for multiple process orders and product cost collectors.
Is there any standard report or should I create a report painter report. I have tried to create a report painter report based on library 7KO, but target cost was not showing for selected order.
Kindly suggest.
Shirazi

Target Costs are available in library 601 for internal orders (and can be used for process/production orders).
