Costing BOM usage

Hi Experts,
Please explain me with some examples what is the use of " BOM usage (6)costing BOM".
I have the following scenario where i was trying to use the Costing BOM concept.
To produce material 'A', I need component 'B' and 10 other consumable materials.
For the cost estimation purpose, the client wants to put the consumables in the BOM.
The production of A is happening like this, Prod. Order qty of A is 100000 Meter.
The confirmation of A will be taken place partially like 500 m, 700m, 900m...etc.
When i do the confirmation, Auto GR for material A and consumption of components by 261 movement type will be taken place.
Here i can monitor what is the actual consumption of component B and i will enter during confirmation. So that i can get the Plan Vs Actual quantity.
But for consumables i can not monitor what is the actual consumption since it is very less quantity and it will be filled in the tank as a bulk quantity.
Please thro' some light on the following 2 queries,
1.In the costing BOM i will put all the consumables and in Production BOM i will put only the prime material, how to avoid the Variance during every confirmation?
2.If i don't put the consumables in the BOM, i added it in the Costing sheet, and i am issuing all to Cost center by 201 movement type. In this case how to take the Plan Vs Actual variance?
Thanks in Advance.

Dear Balamurugan,
Check out this,
Generally the Production BOM will be used for production as well as costing.Production in the sense which
will be used for running MRP or for creating a planned order or else a production order.
If you want to create a BOM for a material just for doing the cost calculation or if your company wants to
know the cost split up alone means then you can create a BOM using the usage 6,where the same will not
be considered for production that's in particular for running MRP.In case if you want to restrict that one
should not run MRP for a material which has a BOM (which has only Costing BOM) then in this case it will
be helpful.

Comparing the BOM usage with the actual usage for materials.

Hi All
My client want to compare the BOM usage with the actual usage and have a report for this within a period? More specified they want to calculate the BOM usage, based on the requirement quantity from confirmation - but with out the scrap %. mulitplied with the confimed quantity of the header material.
The actual usage should be based on goods issuing from stock, either as goods issue to order (backflushing) or as goods issue to cost center.
I havent been able to indentiy a standard report for doing this - does some of you know a standard report?
- I was thinking of the following method:
Look at tabel RESB and compare it with MSEG, but I have some diferent problems with this.
- In resb there is no qty before scrap.
- The data amount from MSEG, is so huge so it is not possible to make a data search for a whole period (eg. month)
Br. M

There is one std report MCRX which gives a comparison of quanity in order and actual consumption,
if it doesnt meet your need, you may have to create a custom report.
logic can be find the quantites as per BOM for the produced quantities
issued quantities to the order
tables you may need are AUFK AUFM
AFKO, STAS STPO
MSEG, MKPO
JEST ( if you want to filter using order status)

Production consumption variance w.r.t. Costing BOM

Dear Sir / Madam,
Our client is using BOM usage 1 as well as BOM usage 6 i.e., Production BOM and Costing BOM.
Consumption of Raw materials and MRP happens based on the BOM usage 1.
Costing of FG happens using BOM usage 6.
Users want to have a variance report between the actual raw materials consumed v/s the BOM components in the Costing BOM in value as well as quantity basis.
If the costing BOM says 100 components and the production consumption happens for 110 components then the difference must be highlighted to them in the variance report.
We have ML activated. Kindly help.

Hi
1. Create one more costing variant and valuation variant...
The Qty Structure Control in this Costing Variant should refer to Costing BOM
Also, assign this costing variant to Version 1...
2. Run Cost estimate using this Costing Variant and save it in Planned Price 2 or 3 field
3. Create Version 0 and Version 1 for target cost calculation (IMG > CO > Prod Csting > Cost Obj Contr > Prod cost by order > Variance calculation)
Version 0 will be based on Costing variant which releases Std Cost
Version 1 will be based on Valuation variant which releases the cost to Planned Price Field

Backflashing will Pick which BOM usage by default ?? help

Hello friends,
We have made a single BOM with BOM usage 1(Production)
and BOM usage 5(costing),we are having different components in different usages.
Now the question comes that when we perform backflashing of BOM code in T-MFBF:
1)system will Backflash BOM with which usage indicator either 1 0r 5?
2) what are the settings by which system should always consider BOM with usage 1 (production)?
Looking forward for response
Points will be awarded
Thanks

Hi,
SPRO > Production > Basic Data > BOM > Define BOM Usages
Here you define whether a BOM is production relevant or not
SPRO > Production > MRP > Planning > BOM Explosion/Routing Determination > Define BOM and ROuting Selection
Here you define priority of BOM usages.
Please check SAP help:

Question on costing BOM

Dear all,
I have a question on BOM Usage Type. We know that when the BOM Usage Type is 1 (Production) and when we have different alternative BOM's, Alternative BOM's are picked up by the Production version (based on lot size and other criteria).
Now the Question is:
When the BOM Usage Type is 6 (costing) and there are several alternatives BOM present for the same header material, where and how exactly are the alternative BOM's used in Costing. Because when the BOM usage type is 6 (costing), it will be not considered for the production but only considered for Costing. So the use of Prouduction version will not be there as there wont be any master recipe for production.
So similar to production version, there should be something which will pick up the alternative BOM for costing purpose. Please let me know on the same. It will also be great if a SAP help link on the same is shared.
Regards,
Brijesh

Hi,
check the following
While doing the costing run, SAP checks if you have maintained the "Production version to be considered for costing" MARC-FVIDK field in Costing View. It will use this Prodn Version for cost estimate.
If you have not maintained the production version field, then it will use the values maintained in the "Quantity structure data" section on costing view. I.e. it will use the BOM alternative. and recipe information from here.
If you have not maintained above values then system picks up the first BOM alternative (MAST table) and first recipe information (MAPL table) it finds for the material-plant combination.
Also according to my knowledge SAP cannot decide the Lot Size for Prodn Version while doing the costing run. You need to tell the system what data to be used for costing.
While standard cost estimate, In CK11n screen at Quantity structure tab you can choose, the required BOM and routing combination.
Like this you can have cost estimates for different combinations. But you can release only one.

Costing Bom

Dear Sir or Madam,
We have repetitive manufacturing set up and the costing is always based production BOM. Now we are planning to switch over to costing BOM. Even though the priorities are set up in costing configuration to selection costing BOM the system by default selects production BOM. I made the changes in product costing quantity structure, BOM selection, BOM usage.
Is there anything else I have to do from the logistics side.

Hi,
BOM Usage
This key defines the area (such as engineering/design, production or costing) where a BOM can be used.
Use
Data is entered and edited according to organizational area.
The BOM can be displayed for a specific usage.
Procedure
Enter the usage for which you want to enter or edit the BOM.
For costing BOM, use usage as 6.
This BOM will be used by costing department only and will not participate in Production activities like in Planned orders or Production orders.

BOM Usage and Sales order BOM

Can some one bring our the difference between BOM usage in the creation of a material bom and a Sales order BOM - To be more specific, when you are creating a BOM using the tcode cs01, I get a field called BOM usage where I can select it as 5 and define it as relevant to Sales and Distribution. I can also create a BOM which is Sales order specific using CS61 tcode. what is the difference between the two? When will the bom created using CS61 explode and when will the other one explode?
Thanks for your reply in advance....

Hi
while using the material in each dept. the usage differs so for that sap provided this function. for sales bom is used only sales and also that material already exist in the plant. and mm bom the material has to procure from the some third party that all functionality will control throgh the maitaning bom usage.
further your explanation i give below info.

BOM Usage
Definition
This key defines the area (such as engineering/design or production) where a BOM can be used.
Use
By setting various indicators, you can define the maximum configuration of the item status and define whether an item must be or cannot be processed in a particular area (such as production).
Examples
A material is used in the areas production and costing in a company. For each area, you maintain a separate BOM with different items:
Production BOM:
This BOM contains items that are relevant to production. These items are copied to the planned order. Dependent requirements are generated for them, and they are copied to the production order.
Costing BOM:
This BOM contains items that are relevant to determining the material costs of a product.
When you calculate production costs using a quantity structure, the system automatically determines the BOM and all the BOM items that are relevant to costing, in order to calculate manufacturing costs.
pls find the config table which will give u clear picture about bom usage.

Costing BOM and Mixed Costing

A product which is manufactured in-house has more than one production version. Each production version has its own BOM and Recipe. To calculate a blended standard cost, we will use mixed costing functionality and assign ratio to each production version. However we want to copy the BOM usage 1 (production) to BOM usage 6 (costing) and make changes only for costing purpose.
Hence each production version will have a BOM for production and equivalent BOM for Costing as follows:
Production Version/Procurement alternative
BOM for Production
BOM for Costing
1
Usage 1 / Alternative 1
Usage 6 / Alternative 1
2
Usage 1 / Alternative 2
Usage 6 / Alternative 2
If a process order is created with Usage 1 /Alternative 1, how does the system know to compare actual cost with procurement alternative with Usage 6 / Alternative 1 for the purpose of variance calculation?
Thank you,
Siva

Hi
Welcome to SDN
You dont have option to specify the Valuation type in BOM i.e. in the BOM of B, you can only specify A as the Input material... You cant specify C1 or C2
Hence, as a result, costing uses only the average price of C1 and C2 which is maintained in the Mat Master as a PLanned price
MIxed Costing as well as Split Valuation for Material B makes no sense in this case....
If you still want to have Mixed Costing & Splt Valuation in this case - You need to create one more material for Mat A i.e. Separate Mat codes for C1 and C2.. however, it will have its own challenges during MRP as to which material should be ordered, etc

Problem with BOM usage

Hi,
Due to client requirements, i have created a new BOM usage type "X".
At OS21, i have set the default as "relevant to production".
Defined order of priority in OS31, and assigned to plant parameters through OPPQ.
In OS30, created new application & assigned to production order types.
The Problem is iam able to make use of this BOM in a production order, and iam not able to explode it through transaction CS12.
When i explode it through CS12, the message i got is mentioned below.
E: to XCPPEDLJ31-DEMO4/IN10/ZP01 no BOM is available
Message no. 29514
Regards,
K.Kumar.

In OS31
Are you maintained the selid, selpr, BOM usage(newly created)?
while creating a BOM application are you maintained the same selid (selection ID) ?
and also check your BOm application have any indicator relevant to explosion of MRP, rel Costing, rel for work scheduling,pland order, Rel order, collwith, sale order,

BOM usage customization

Could someone help me to customize the BOM usage?
We want to set always the costing relevant indicator
- when a BOM is created in a specific usage and
- when a BOM is copied from any other BOM to that same usage.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks, but I need some more info to solve the problem. Could you explain how I have to set the different indicators.
Example : in "Defaults for Copying item statuses"
There is a "Relevant" column with fields that can be left empty or marked with 'X'. What is the meaning of this indicator when it is marked?
Does it means that the value of the Costing relevant field will be copied from the original BOM or does it mean that this field will always be set to 'X' in the new BOM.

BOM usage change

Dear Friends,
How can we do the BOM usage change... without creating a new BOM with new usage. For example I have created a BOM with usage 1 (Production). This I want to change to usage 6 (Costing). How can I do it.. it is possible? or not?
Regards,

Hi,
First you need to create new BOM which is relevent to costing by copying the production BOM after that you can delete the production BOM.
Apart from archiving you can also simply delete the BOM by going in change mode -CS02,material -->Delete
OR,
Please check transaction codes CS26 and CS28. And There is one more function module to delete the bom with histoty.CS_SF_BOM_DELETE_FOR_ARCHIVE.
Hope clear to you. Reward if useful.

Costing Bom Cencept

I have a query that In chemical Industries Recovery process Mother Liquor which is byproduct comes from the centrifuge we have reprocessed it and getting recovered solvent and used this recovred solvent in the same process ,by doing this we save our Fresh Solvent Cost we are getting costing benefit of using this in Process Order for this there is one concept of *COSTING BOM* , anybody having idea about this in SAP.

Visahl
If I understood you correctly, the solution is as below...
1) create the BOm of your FG including the Mother Liquor (as by-product) recovered solvent & Fresh Solvent as your raw material with alternate grouping & appropriate usage probability( e.g 80:20)
Upon confirmation you will be getting by-product mother liquor & consuption will happen of recovered solvent & Fresh Solvent according to the settings done for alternate group.
2) create another BOM for recovered solvent within which mother liquor will be a RM & procee this through order. you will have the stocks of recovered solvent to use in process 1)
This will also take effect of appropriate costing issues you are facing.

Mahesh

CK11n Wrong BOM usage

Dear All,
Let me first describe the scenario:
We are in ECC 6.0 there are 3 plants.Normally Std Cost is uploaded every month we use one costing variant for all three plants.
This month only in one plant user want to do costing with BOM usage 1 earlier all other plants including this plant used BOM usage 6 for costing purposes.
Now in case of the plant which want to cost with BOM usage 1 for certain materials(lower level-X) when we run CK11n we input BOM usage and Alt BOM in the Qty Struc Tab and run this works fine and costing is done without errors.
After this step when we try to cost a higher level material (say Y) in CK 11n and input BOM usage as 1 and Alt BOM 1 in the Qty Struc Tab system gives message that for the lower level material X in BOM usage 6 alt BOM 1 there are no items relevant to costing.This means that system is again costing the lower material X with BOM usage 6 when costing Y.
Now as per my understanding this could be because of:
1)In Costing variant BOM selection ID configuration gives first priority to BOM usage 6
2)As per Transfer Control configuration "No Transfer Control"
Can somebody please suggest how this can be solved or if I am wromg with the explanation.In one line the requirement is to cost all materials in one plant(not all) with BOM usage 1 but other plant will use BOM usage 6 as earlier.
Regards
Raju

In one line the requirement is to cost all materials in one plant(not all) with BOM usage 1 but other plant will use BOM usage 6 as earlier.
I would like to ask u question first since requirement not clear.
Is the BOM with usage 6 costing relevant ?
TQ.

MRP run for header material with bom usage-3

Dear All,
We have header material with bom usage-3.We maintain the stock at child components only ,not at header
I have created the planned independent requirement for header material.I have created a sales order but sales order is not shown in md04.
What can be the further setting I am missing for mrp run of above scenario.
with regards,
pradeep

Dear ,
Couple of checks points for you :
1.Check the material master Sales Org Veie-Item Categoery .As you have mentioned Item Categoery -TAQ which is not relevent for requirement planning throgh schedule line category -CT ( CT means there will not be any inventory or good movement and requirement will not be passed for MRP ) .Only CP -line item categoery does requirement passing through MRP and it will show u in MD04. So the summery is if you want to generate an MTO order for the same FG material , you should matian the Sales Line item categoery as MTO in sales Org View and it will pop up in VA01 whiel logging Sales Order .
Generally , TAQ item categoery are used in Project Billing or Delivery .ok and they will not be having any availabilit check so it KP ( no check ) .
But for MTO order , you should have availablty chek 02/01 in MRP3 view and also MTO Sales Item categoery .
Based on the above information logg an sales order , release credit chek in VKM3, SAVE and check in MD04.
Create PIR in MD61 and Run MRP on the both cases .I have tested its working .but noit with TAQ item categoery ok
2.Why do you need to create Sales Order for dependent Item-Y because it will be in X-BOM item ? Make sure that Y- should have Sales Item categoery in material master -MM02-Sales Org View as NORM item .If you really want to create sale sorder for this item , it should TAN or NORM .
3.Other PIR detail is fine .
Try and revert back

Want to change BOM usage from production 1 to design 2

Dear Experts ,
Is it possible to change BOM usage from production 1 to design 2 ? Any mass change T code ?
Neal

If I make BOM universal , I need to ,make alternative BOM as Engineering BOM will have several levels and production BOM has all the components and assy on single level .
MRP might pick up wrong BOM .
Is there any T.code by which we can make mass copy or change BOMs . AS in system there are many BOMs which needs to be copied as is with new usage .
