Cost saving tracking in SAP

Hi All
Another interesting scenario for which I cant find many answers on SDN. How to track cost savings in standard SAP?
Example: A company buys a material for $10 ea. General market price is $11 so its a saving of $1 per item.
Every time a user places an order for material and that material arrives in the company, Purchasing department wants to capture total savings achieved off it.
Has anyone ever implemented anything similar? is there any best practice for it? Does standard SAP offers any functionality....
Would be great if you share any experience
Thanks
Sana

yes I looked into that pricing condition. Access sequence is of no use so I configured a Z copy of this condition and added access sequence as per business requirement.
yes it is only required for reporting purpose.
I was wondering before I put forward my idea of using pricing condition to capture this info, I might see what is out there or if anyone else has ever done anything similar.
it is interesting how business users want to use MEK2 to enter condition records for this cost saving condition which they cannot unless I make this condition a copy of PB00.
It doesn't allow me the add condition records of ZP01 (a copy of MP01 - same config) via MEk2.
Can you think of better way of entering data?

Cost saving tips in using Blackberries

Does anyone have any tips they would be willing to share regarding cost saving tips? I'm looking for anything that may save our employees money with their voice and data plans. One example I know of is: turn off your phone when traveling overseas to avoid roaming charges.

There are also applications available which allow you to keep track of data usage, and can let you know when your data is getting close to the monthly limit. One application I've seen is MiniMoni. It isn't perfect, but supposedly does a decent job.

Free cost goods tracking

Hi MEntors
I am sending one projector to one person to test it. then it's t's ok back to us.
Here no cost will effect and .track the generator ( should not be pick any a/l accounts)
How can I map this scenario in sap
thanks for advance.
Regards
Laxman

Hi
U can map the process by going through Subcontracting Route.Steps are
1 Create a Subcontracting PO with Item category L, Tick the free goods Indicator as you do not want any Liability to be generated
2 In the material tab ,Component Overview Maintain the Item code of the Generator ,Thus both send items and Procured Item will be same
3 Issue the Generator to the Party via T code MB1B -541
4 Perform GR when the Projector has arrived back after rectification
Accounting entries created in step 4 will be
Stock account Cr - Eg Rs 100
RM Consumption account Dr -Eg Rs 100
Change in stock account Cr -Eg Rs 100
Stock account Dr - Eg Rs 100
Thus If you do the netting there will not be any balance in your Balance sheet account and P/L Account

Labor Tracking In SAP ME 5.2

Hi all,
I'm trying to do Labor Tracking activity in SAP ME 5.2. I have some doubts in it.
1) What is RollUp? where shoud i configure for doing rollup?
     In Labor Rule Maintenance i have set the rules. Is there any other place we need to configure?
2) I'm not able to do Supervisor Time Edit and Approval activity. In the documents it is given that once roll up has been done,
     cost center supervisors can edit and approve time records for their employees.
     Am i getting this problem due to roll up?
3) In LCC Summary Report i'm not able to see any changes for the LCC if i chnage the User LCC in Change User LCC activity.
     Only the default LCC provided in Shop order is displayed.
Can anyone tell me how to solve all these?
Thanks,
Joe

Hi Sergiy,
I have enabled System rule and defined Labor rules.
Could u pls tell me which BAT file to run?
Whether it is ODSLaborRollup.BAT file?
For 3) the scenario is:
I have created one user as OPER in user maintenance and assigned him FIRST_SHIFT as Primary shift.
Default LCC as PRODUCTION.
In User Shift Maintenance, for the FIRST_SHIFT i have defined BREAK times.
The user Clocks in manually in POD. During BREAK times, i went to Change USER LCC activity and changed the particular user's LCC as IDLE_TIME. Once the Break time got over, again i changed the user LCC to Production.
At the end of the shift i Clocked out.
Now wen i see the LCC summary report i'm not able to find the changed User LCC and the report shows only PRODUCTION as the user's LCC.
Could u pls tell me whether i have configured properly? And how to solve this?
Thanks,
Joe.

Can we automate Cost recognision in Standard SAP in automated way

Hi SAP Gurus,
We have activated Deferred Revenue in our system which is working fine and we can analyze
the deferred revenue.Now we want to analyze deferred cost for the same automatically…we have
activated COPA as well
Requirement – Cost should be booked as Deferred Cost in Balance sheet GL and not in PL GL
At the time of MIGO.
Later once project is finished we will settle Sales order through VF44 revenue will get recognized automatically
and deferred revenue (BS) will transferred to Actual Revenue (PL) at the same time if system can post the Deferred Cost (BS)
to Actual Cost (PL) automatically.
Scenario – Purchase order will be created, with account assignment category K. for service material
At MIGO system should post
(BS)Deferred Cost – Dr
GR/IR – Cr
And later once sales order settled cost should automatically flow to actual PL GL or with the help of any other process or T-code
system should automatically take care of Cost part
(PL) Cost – Dr
(BS)Deferred Cost – Cr
Simultaneously COST should also flow to COPA as well…we want to automate this process can
we do the same by using any standard SAP feature?
Issue – No standard way found to give solution for the COST recognition.
Thanks
Sagar C'kar

Guys,
Luckily, for this, i was using a user-decision step which uses DECISION --> PROCESS method. So, I could remove the BO:TRIP that i included earlier. But, for other tasks, where if we use a method from our BO, we cannot remove this std. BO link that shows up in "Objects & Attachments"...to my understanding.
Thanks for all your info on this question.

IDOC Status, Tracking in SAP PI/PO Single Stack

Hi All,
My PO version: 7.4, SP4. I am not sure my questions below are still a limitation in current PI/PO single stack systems, and hence requesting your help for the same.
1) Is there a way we can track outbound idocs in SAP PI/PO single stack similar to PI abap stack IDX5? ( Note:- I couldn't find any option in IDOC monitoring in single stack SAP PO 7.4, SP4)
2) IDOC status is always 0 in SAP PO 7.4 single stack IDOC monitoring. I am not sure if this status is just specific to my PO system. Any setting needs to be applied?
ps: Please post only relevant answers/solutions

Problem with lowercase when saving in custom SAP table.

Hi Gurus,
I have a problem in saving entries in a custom table in SAP.
When I enter a name with combinations of upper and lower case in SE16, when saving, my entries were all converted into uppercase. That goes as well in passwords. That's my concern, how can I check passwords if combinations were disregarded?
My parameter fields for these were just type CHAR.
Is there a way I can save data as how they were entered?
Thank you in advance for your responses Gurus...

Hi,
Check the Domain of the field and select Lower case check box if it is a Zdomain or else create the new domain or check for one like this.For example..
Table PA0002 which has a field NACHN and Data element assigned to it is PAD_NACHN...double click on the Data element and now again double click on the Domain and now Under Ouput Characteristics check the Lower Case check.
And now database get's saved with what ever case you entered

Cost center locked but SAP allows for PO creation

Dear All,
We have a requirement such that whenever a cost center is locked, system should not allow users to create PRs / POs for locked cost center. I tried it through authorization control, but in MM there is no object for cost center.
Could experts tell me the way in which this control can be acheived.

Please try out with some enhancement and let us know if your requirement can be met or not.
I think the appropriate Exit would be MM06E005\MM06E007. Please reach out to a ABAPer
and put a simple logic in the code which would prevent the creation of PO when the COST CENTER are locked.
If the above suggestion is not working then you can put up the logic when the PO are on the
verged of being released after creation. In this way the PO belonging to locked Cost Center will not be released at all.

Forms tracking in SAP

Hi Experts is there any option in SAP to track the forms related Indian taxation forms like C,H and all and i know for 'C' we maintain in J1IUN like that where can we maintain other forms and will this update when we process the order ????????.Thanks alot and please help me out.

Dear Friend,
As rightly said you need to develop your own logic . With the help of your ABAPer, create a ZTable . Also develop a program in which u cerate a entry based on the Customer. The entries get stored in the ZTable cretaed . Then you can develop a report which can show you which C or F forms has been recieved or pending .
Thanks
