Cost relevancy indicator for Material

Dear PS colleagues,
Refer to the subject, when we assign a material to activity then sometimes cost relevancy indicator (on General Data tab for material) is ticked & sometimes not, can you guide me how it is controlled.It seems that it may me controlled from material master but not sure.Pl suggest...

Ashok Sangal

Hi,
All materials which are account assigned to network/ activity, or WBS element are defaulted with cost-relevancy indicator, though this can subsequently be changed manually. This defaulting is hard-coded (as far as I know) and is dependent on the procurement type . For instance, if you attach a stock (cat:L)material component with collective requirement indicator in MRP4 to a network activity and if you opt for procurement type "Planned Indpendent requirement", you will find that 'Cost Relevancy" indicator is not defauluted. For the same material component with the setting material master settings, if you opt for procurement type "Reservation to Network", the cost relevancy indicator gets defaulted.
Obviously, text type materials etc. will not have any cost relevancy.
Hence, we can conclude that materials which are account assigned (i.e which are relevant for adding cost to proejct objects) will be defaulted with "Cost relevancy" indicator.
If you use BOM transfer functionality, you can define the cost relevancy in the "Profile for BOM transfer"
Hope the information provided is useful and relevant.

Issue with update of BOM by Variant Config - Cost relevant indicator

Hi All VC Expert,
We are facing an issue with the update by reference characteristic of the field STPO-SANKA Cost relevancy indicator on the BOM.
We are on SAP ECC 6.0 release 700 on Oracle
Hot Package
- SAPKA70015 on ERP Cross Application componenent
- SAPKH60013 on SAP-APPL Logistics and accouting
We are using material variant
We are on the first level of configuration
Classically, we built a procedure to set X to this data base field as below :
$self.STPO_SANKA = 'X'
We assigned this procedure to the relevant items
Here is the result we have:
At the creation of the Plan Order, this is not working
At the creation of the Prod Order, this is not working
When we do a Reload PP master data, this is working very well
On CU50/VA02 when we check the trace, the procedure is executed.
Do somebody have an idea or already facing this and solve it ?
Thanks in advance for your appreciated help.

Hi Fabien. Did you solve your problem?

Costing Relevancy indicator cannot be set as 50%

Hello,
I have a issues with costing relevancy indicator in production order item. It doesnot consider the % such as (25% or 50%) costing relevancy. Only 100% or " " is considered.
Kindly let me know the steps to achieve the 50% costing relevancy for order component.
Best Regards
Sameer

Hi UKSAPPP ,
I have checked transaction OS18 and found that the factors are maintained. Actually i am looking for the 50% cost of component in production order planned cost. Does this come under inventory coseting as per you reply?
Because the customer wants this in production order cost for that component where this relevancy to costing is maintained as 50%.

Cost Relevance Indicator default in BOM

Hi All,
The cost relevance indicator is by default X in the BOM. I have defined a new cost relevevance indicator as Y. How can i default the new indicator in teh BOM
Appreciiate your support
Regards
Tehseen

Hi,
Reason of making a new costing relevance indicator.
Our management wants to add 10% extra cost in that is calculated in Quotation. Also the 10% must only be applied on paperboard items of the BOM. The same BOM is used in Quotation and Sales orders. So i have defined a new indicator Y with 110%. I have changed all paperboard items in the BOM as Y. This solution works fine in the Quotations. But when i calculate cost in Sales order, the same 110% get applied on all paperboard cost which we dont want. In sales order we want 100% cost. Both sales order and quotations have diffrerent costing variants. Further please also explain that while i run CK11N, it calculates cost only based on indicator X which is ok. I want the same cost calculation in Sales orders. We are using condition EK02 to calculate cost in Quotation & Sales Orders.
Appreciate your support

Problem with updating ABC indicator for Material

Hi All,
My client wants to run cycle count for one warehouse.Since the material master does not have ABC indicator in Storage view, Iam using MIBC for updating the Material Master. But after executing MIBC also ABC indicator is not getting updated in the Material master. Please help.

Hi, You need to have an history of at least several months of movements in order to do this analysis. You need also to flag "all articles held in stock" in order to select articles without ABC indicator. Rgds, Philippe

No standard cost estimate found for the material

Hi,
When we are trying to generate the bill systems throws the error as "no statandard cost estimate found" whereas the material is a kmat material.
Actually as per the requirement we should not Run standard cost estimate for any material,we will update the standard price in MR21
What are the settings that i need to do to avoid the above error message while doing billing?
Following error msg is appearing:-
No standard cost estimate could be found for material "300000"
Message no. K/834
Diagnosis
In Profitability Analysis, an attempt was made while valuating with material costing to read for material "123456" a standard cost estimate released on posting date "02.10.2008".
The system has discovered that there are no error-free standard cost estimates released in plant "BP01" on the specific date "02.10.2008" for material "123456".
The material cost estimate is accessed according to the CO-PA Customizing settings for costing key "YG1" under Define Access to Material Costing.

Costing deleted for material, but unable to do costing run

Hi Experts,
After deleting costing for material XXXXX (plant XXXX) it is not picked up by CK40N.
Transaction used for deletion is CKR1.
MM03 shows for this material/plant in tab 'Costing 2' this error when clicking 'current': "No current standard cost estimate exists for material XXXXX in plant XXXX"
Planned price was not set to zero and that I can't give the material a new costing.
Thanks for any feedback.
Edited by: Em Arcilla on Jul 23, 2008 3:12 PM

Hi Jigar,
Transaction CK11N did not work..
The error message is: "Material XXXXX in plant XXXX has a released cost estimate."
It seems that there is something that is not updated when cost estimate for the material was deleted. Weird thing is, in the material master data, it is showing that cost estimate no longer exist.

Costing relevancy of BOM

Hi guys,
M a bit new in SAP.so this question may sound very basic.
My question is when we go to item data in BOM,there is a tab status/lng text.
In that tab there is costing relevancy indicator field.
If i need it to be x all the time and it should be default to all items,what settings need to be done.
Thanks,
Sam

Thanks a lot Ganesh/Anish,
You gave me the required solutution.Can I ask you guys another question?
If i am copying my prod bom from SD bom and the indicator u told me about is not set for SD BOM,will that indicator still appear in production BOM?

Material in which Costing relevancy has not been maintained

Hi,
I want list of materials in which Costing relevancy has not been maintained. From where i can see it...in which table??
Thanks.

Dear,
Do Not Cost
    Controls whether a cost estimate or a procurement alternative can be
    created for a material.
Use
    If you select this indicator, you cannot create any of the following for
    this material:
    o   Material cost estimate (with or without quantity structure)
    o   Sales order cost estimate
    o   Procurement alternative
    The material is excluded from selection and BOM explosion, so that no
    cost component split will be created by the costing process. If the
    material is included in another cost estimate as a component to be
    valuated, the valuation price is determined through the valuation
    variant if no cost estimate with the same key exists for the material.

Chintan Joshi.

Cost estimate for material / plant is incorrect

Dear Gurus,
While creating material cost estimate with quantity structure the above error occurs.
Please let me know the solution for this?
Regards,
Ajit

Dear,
Please check with your Accounting,Costing datas in the material master .
Please check with fields like material origin,With Quantity Structure,Variance
Key,Planned price 1 & date against it.
Valuation Class,Price control indicator,Origin group,Overhead group(if maintained
any),Profit center.
If not solved ,please send the screen shots.

Unit costing for materials assigned to activity - for material cost plannin

The requirement is that material cost to the company will vary depending upon the project/customer. Eg.: Material cost = basic material cost + a % for P&F + 2 % for Clearance + a % for excise + 2 % for insurance + a % for Customs
It can be a % or a lump-sum value. It can be all the components listed or part of them. This will be project specific.
Hence the following preference for material cost planning is required:
1. Material cost based on quotation or Purchase order - If quote/PO is not available, then
2.Material cost based on unit costing done for the material in the project - If this is not available, then
3. material cost from material master depending on price indicator i.e. Std cost or Moving average price
We are working with valuated project stock.
SAP Help says"
"Prices are calculated in one of the following ways:
u2022     Using the strategy in the valuation variant
u2022     Manually, using the invoicing plan
u2022     Using unit costing"
But how to get the cost as per the priority required when these three options are there is not clear.
I have tried to work with valuation variant in the costing variant assigned to Network. No valuation strategy explicitly refers to unit costing of material.
During various testings, at times, unit costing of material gets updated as planned cost; at times not. What triggers in also not clear.
Pl. clarify
Thanks and regards

Hi All
I have psoted to service market place and got the reply; we have implemented also.
there were 2 suggestiosn:
1. Valuation price with user exit - (EXIT_SAPLCK21_002) - This user exit has to be implemented; we have implemented - it is working. But this is taking effect when overhead calculation is done - this we rae managing that way now
2. Alternatively you can try to use BAdI VALUATION_CK.: This BADI is not editable by us now; SAP has not released for our editing!
The problem is solved although
There is one more clarification required:
As SAP Help documentation: -> Unit costing is used instead of strategy sequence, but not in between steps of strategy.
How to get this done ? right now we are using the strategy - inbetween steps of strategy with user exit
Thanks and regards

Provision for sevices entry cost addit in BOM material

Hi GURU's
       I client want to services cost is also to be added to the material production cost as with the BOM.
      ex. suppose production qnty. is 100 ton& BOM materials qnty & cost is suppose 10 & 100/-. and the services charges (cost) is suppose 100/- per ton then the cost of services is appended on the Production material with BOM material cost.
     Is thier any provision to append services cost on the production material against process order.
Thanks in Adavance for ur immediate intimate.

Hi
There is no direct link between Movement type and Cost element G/L account. It is not advisable to change the standard movement type 261 for BOM components for GI in OPKA.
The possible way to have a new G/L account in BOM cost element field as per u r requirement is to create new valuation class and assign it to Material master of u r Non stock material in Accounting view
Steps
1) Create a new valuation class say ZVCL in OMSK and complete all relevant settings
2) Now in OBYC > GBB > for VBR >for New Valuation class ZVCL > Assign G/L AC no say xxxxxx in Debit and Credit columns
3) Then Assign this valuation class in Material Master.
4) Now chk the G/L account in BOM as u mentioned and observe it as xxxxxx

Production costs for material with price control V

Dear all,
Can anyone pls tell me, how will the costing occur for a material produced in-house and having price control 'V' ? I am not able to see the target costs.
Also kindly tell me the settings to be done in CO, like target cost version, valuation variant, costing variant, etc.
Thank you,
Shrenik

Rather than giving my own versions I have compiled here SAP inputs. Pl let me know if you require any clarifications:
Costing variant has the following components:
<b>Define Costing Types
Define Valuation Variants
Define Date Control
Define Quantity Structure Control
Define Transfer Strategy
Define Reference Variants</b>
<u>Costing type:</u>
In the costing type, you define the purpose of a material cost estimate by specifying, for example, which field in the material master record the costing results can be transferred to:
Update Cost Estimate
Standard price Standard cost estimate (01)
Tax-based price Inventory cost estimate
Commercial price Inventory cost estimate
Price other than std price Modified standard cost estimate or
current cost estimate
No update Any cost estimate
Define Valuation Variants:
Define Valuation Variants
Here you create a valuation variant containing the parameters required for valuation of a cost estimate.
You also specify which costing sheet should be used to calculate overhead.
Valuation Strategies
Material valuation
Here you define the sequence in which the system searches for prices from the accounting view or costing view of the material master record to valuate materials. You can also access prices from purchasing info records and condition types.
For material cost estimates, you also specify whether additive costs can be added to the selected price.
With configurable/configured material components and with procurement alternatives, the sequence defined here is ignored if the strategy "price from purchasing info record" was selected, in which case that strategy is always executed first. For more information, refer to the SAP Library in the component Product Cost Planning under Raw Material Costing or Mixed Costing.
Activity Types / Processes
Here you define the sequence in which the system searches for prices in activity type planning or actual activity price calculation in Cost Center Accounting or Activity-Based Costing to valuate the utilized activity types and business processes.
You also specify which plan/actual version is used.
Subcontracting
Here you define the sequence in which the system searches for prices in the purchasing info record. In purchasing, quota arrangements are used to create a mixed price for materials that are manufactured with external vendors with parts provided by the customer. You can specify whether the quota of the individual vendors that are entered in the source list for the material to be processed should be determined through the planned quota arrangement or the actual quota arrangement.
External processing
Here you define the sequence in which the system searches for prices in the purchasing info record or routing operation for valuation of the external activities.
Strategy Sequence
You define the individual valuation methods for the valuation variant as strategy sequences. For the valuation of the material components you define a strategy sequence that reads the fields of the material master record in a particular sequence such as:
1. Planned price 1
2. Standard price
3. Moving price
The first price that is not zero is used to valuate the material component.
Target versions:
Target cost versions are used in the following ways:
In variance calculation:
To control which variance (total variance, production variances or planning variance) is calculated
To valuate unplanned scrap( scrap variance)
Unplanned scrap is valuated in the period-end closing activities when the variances are calculated. You can specify in a valuation variant for WIP and scrap which cost estimate you want to use to calculate the target costs for the valuation of unplanned scrap. You assign the valuation variant to target cost version 0 if you want to include it in the valuation of scrap.
When you are using a cost object hierarchy with active distribution, you use the target cost version to control which cost estimate the system uses to calculate the target costs, which are used as the basis for determining equivalences for actual cost distribution.
The actual costs collected at the level of the hierarchy are distributed across the orders in accordance with these equivalences. This distribution is proportional to the target costs for the cost element under which the actual costs are written. Actual costs for material costs are distributed in proportion to the target costs for the origin group, such as for the material, if you have entered an origin group in the costing view of the material master record and have set the indicator Material origin, for example.
If no target costs were calculated under this cost element, enter a cost element group in the target cost version. The actual costs are distributed in proportion to the target costs for this cost element group. This cost element group should be complete. If costs were updated under a cost element that is not in this cost element group, no distribution is possible.
You can calculate equivalences on the basis of SAP standard target cost versions 0, 1 and 3.
The standard system supplies the following target cost versions:
Target cost version 0 ( total variance)
The amount of the total variance generates a posting in Financial Accounting during settlement.
For this version, select actual costs as the control costs and standard cost estimate as the target costs.
Target cost version 1 ( production variance)
For this version you choose actual costs as the control costs and planned costs as the target costs.
Target cost version 2( planning variance)
With target cost version 2, the costs from the preliminary order cost estimate are interpreted as control costs.
For this version, select planned costs as the control costs and current cost estimate as the target costs. You cannot calculate planning variances for the product cost collector.
Target cost version 3 (production variance of the period)
You compare the planned costs of the period calculated on the basis of an alternative material cost estimate (such as a modified standard cost estimate) with the actual costs of the period on the basis of the yield delivered to stock in the period.
The base quantity for variance calculation is the yield.
For this version, you choose the actual costs as the control costs and the alternative material cost estimate as the target costs. To determine the alternative material cost estimate, enter a costing variant and choose a costing version.
The target cost version specifies which data is to be compared. The target cost version also specifies which variance variant is used and therefore which variance catagories are calculated. You can define a different target cost version for each controlling area
