Costing relevancy for operation in standard costing

Dear all:
We are using standard costing, with the usual master data (routing operations, work centers, activity tariffs, bill of material).
Due to certain specific operations we would like in certain routings that certain operations would have a fixed relevance for the cost calculation and subsequently for the real cost.
If we changed the planned time for the operation, notifications would need to be calculated (that is, if the real time is 45 min, and we have reduced the planned time in 80% we would have to notify 9 minutes).
If we change the tariff, this would affect to all the routings linked to thart work center.
We would also rather work with the current work center, so that we would not need to change our plant reports.
The Costing relevancy of the operation in the routing is not apropiate for this, as it only works for inventory costing.
Any simple idea to achieve that?
Thanks for your help.

Ariel,
In master receipe, without maintaining operation the phase can not be maintained.
Scheduling & costing of the process order are dependent on phase.
So hierarchly phase is below the operation but have importance than that of operation.
Control receipe destination is the mandatory entry.
Hope this helps you.

External Operations in Standard Cost

Hi All,
Currently when we run standard cost rollup,we are not adding any external operations costs to product and once production process is complete,it is settling as a variances.how can i include external operations cost in cost component?
every production order external operations costs is different and we have one primary cost element to post external operations cost.
any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Rau

Don't solve my problem ecause this is my question.
I want that this field "Planned Delivery Time" is compiled by Default value. Is it possible.
In my opinion I hope that in Work Center for externa Operation, for example, there is a parameter that allows me to have a default value into the Field. Or in Master data of material.
My user want that they create a routing and insert the work center about external operation, the system put authomatically the value into the "Planned Delivery Time".
It's a request, but I don't find a standard solution.

Pipeline Materials (Info Record) Cost not getting picked in Standard Cost

Dear Team,
We are using the Pipeling Materials Concept in our client. Pipeline materials are procoured without referene to PO/Quotation.
Pipeline materials cost is not getting updated in the the standard cost estimate in cost roll-up.
All Sub-strategies options in the Valuation variant for price from Purchase Info Record are all wrt PO/Quotation.
How can i get my pipeline materials cost in the standard cost estimate.
Please guide.

Cost Price for Returns order adopting cost from preceding billing doc

Hi Forum Experts,
Our Returns Order (SO) currently obtains cost price (VPRS) based on material moving average price.
However, what we really need is to copy the cost price from the preceding Billing Document.
I've explored using VOFM and created a routine under (Formulas --> Condition Value) as per below.
I found that while the debugger steps through this code, the value of the cost gets copied from the preceding document.
However, immediately after the code finishes execution, the value gets resetted back to the material moving average price again.
What can I do do let the system keep the copied cost price from the preceding document instead?

Hi,
If you bring the Freight condition after PBXX and include in the net value, your problem will be solved. so it will be 120 in MIGO, MIRO, Dellivery and VPRS in billing.
We have the same situation and its working fine for us.

Cost centre is stored at the Organization level.
And many Organizations can have the same location, so for a location you can have different cost code combinations.
If you need just one segment(location segment), then it could be unique.
So , instead of pcak.concatenated_segments cost_centre use pcak.segmentX (X could be 1,2,3 etc based on your flexfield definition)

Can we use two costing variants for standards cost estimate release.

Hi,
We have 2 plants (plant 5100 and plant 5200) under company code 5000.
We have run standard cost estimate(CK11N) for material 98001000027 at plant 5100 using costing variant ZG01 and at plant 5200 using costing variant ZG02. First, we released standard cost estimate (CK24) for this materia at plant 5100 and set (in marking allowance) costing variant ZG01 and costing version 01. Next time when we are trying to release the standard cost estimate for the same material for plant 5200, it is automatically picking ZG01 as costing variant in marking allowance and it is not allowing to change the costing variant to ZG02 saying Company code 5000: Release already carried out, cancellation not possible, Message no. CK797.
Is it possible to use two different costing variants for release of standard cost estimate for a material at two different plants at the same company code? If so how?
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Bijay

Hi,
Thanks for your reply again.
What is the benefit of assigning "Single Valuation Variant same to different Plants" ? In costing variant also we can assign maximum only one valuation variant and this valuation variant will default for all the plants, and hence I dont think it is necessary to assign same valuation variant to different plants.
My issue is :
Example: ( Standard Cost Estimate for material 98001000027)
Plant - 1
Material Cost                                             Rs.100
Labour Cost                                               Rs.50
Overheads (10% of Labour Cost)                  Rs.5
(say ,through costing sheet - 1)
Total Standard Cost Estimate                      Rs.155
Plant - 2
Material Cost                                             Rs.150
Labour Cost                                               Rs.100
Overheads (20% of Labour Cost)                  Rs.20
(say, through costing sheet - 2)
Total Standard Cost Estimate                      Rs.270
Now, Please explain why we cannot have two Standard Cost Estimates for a material at two different plants? If it is possible to have two standard cost estimates for a material at two different plants, how to take care of overheads (rate of which varies) at two different plants (plant - 1 > 10% and plant- 2>20%) as we can assign maximum one costing sheet to a valuation variant variant?
How to map the system so as to meet the above requirement?
Thanks,
Bijay

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.

QC activities in Standard Cost Calculation

Is it possible somehow the activities in operations/phases within inspection plan (TC QP01, task list type Q) include in material cost estimate (TC CK11N)? If it is, what kind of operation/phase key is needed to be set in inspection plan? What kind of costing variant is appropriate for this?

Hi Milan,
Yes, we can include activities within inspection plan in cost estimates.
Operation key from costing perspective depends on client's requirements for costing. We can use PPC1 - standard costing variant to include this. However, we may need some config setting to make it possible.
You can reach me at [email protected]

Issue with Standard Cost estimates / Material Ledger

Background:
We have been using SAP for the last 5 years with Material Ledger active. Due to a number of reasons, we have not revised its standard cost estimates from 2001 till now. This means that at month end, we do not mark and release prices as recommended, nor do we mark prices and use dynamic release.
What Happened:
A new material called PFSW3 was made. This is a FERT. Before production
could start my team released the standard cost estimate for this material. Production was now able to proceed without problem. Then, when the time came to sell the material (VF02), SAP again raised the error 'cost estimate not found'. On checking the standard price in MM03, we discovered that the future cost estimate was missing. So we created and marked a new cost estimate in the middle of February 2007.
Problem:
When the first sale took place, SAP released the marked cost estimate and posted a Price Change document to adjust for the new standard cost. I understand this was due to dynamic release. Now, when month end came, the system settled all the production orders of material PFSW3 but did not do multi level costing on it.
Internal Investigation:
My team has determined that the material PFSW3 has price determination 2 set by mistake. All our other production materials (HALB and FERT) are
set to price determination 3 in the material master (accounting view).
Questions:
To sum this situation up,
we need to know why the material PFSW3 was not marked closed in its period status (CKM3) at the time of closing through CKMLCP?
What are the implications of not closing this material in Feb 2007 (current period status is showing 'Quantities and values entered')?
How can we close this material this month?
The future cost estimate is again missing for PFSW3 in March 2007 and I
fear we are going to face more problems as this material is sold to customers.
Please respond this is an urgent issue.

Dear Shumyl,
Please, have a look at Note 645083 - Material period status set to "Closing Entry Completed" that might help to closing your material in previous period.
Hope it will be useful.
Regards,
Flaviano.

Standard cost estimation after goods movement when material ledger is activ

Hi!
our client is activated material ledger, for some materials standard cost estimation is done till marking but not released.
goods movements have been posted for those materials.
Now system is not allowing to release the standar price for those material in the current period, as material ledger expects same price for entrie period.
what is the alternative way to update the standard price for those materials ( with out reversing the goods movements).
regs,
ramesh

Hi Ramesh,
When you are using Material Ledger, after goods movemnets for materials, no need to change the standard cost estimate as Actual costing run will take care to derive the PUP price.
If there is no standard cost estimation release for sold materials (e.g.FG), you will get an error message duirng the billing document release to accounting. To aviod this error, if you are using split valuation (valuation types) and mixing ratios (CK91N & CK94), try with the below steps:
Create a new valuation type for the same material
Crate CK11N & CK94,
Run CK11N
Run CK24.
Then release the billing document.
Let me know if you need more details.
Thanks & Regards,
ADI

Goods movement - without Standard cost

Hello All
In our existing client system, price control for new material X is maintained as 'S'. We have not maintained the standard price in it yet.
Ideally if price control is 'S' and you dont maintain a Standard cost of the material. SAP does not allows any goods movement on this material.
But without standard cost if I am able to raise a Purchase order (which is fine) and also able to do GR (using MIGO).
The result being GR is done and FI document is posted with PO price + MAP is updated with PO price.
Is it std SAP functionality or is there is a setting which I have missed. Please let me know.
Note: Price control indicator for material type is 'S'.

Dear Rajeshwari,
1.You can use the plant specific material status to block the material for production,purchase and inventory management,by
creating a new key in OMS4 and set the value as B in all these parameters and assign this value in the material master in MRP1
view of the particular material and set the valied from date.
2.In case if you want to remove this valu or say you have carried out a standard cost estimate,you can remove the assignment in
MM02.
3.For blocking the production order creation for the materials that does not contain a standard cost use this BADI -
WORKORDER_UPDATE(method during Release).
Check this link,
Re: error msg if no standard cost present for Production order target cost
4.Also go through the points suggested by Ajay,

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%.

Costing run for the material in Physical distribution Plant

Hi experts,
There's a material both creates in productoin plant 1000 & physical distribution plant 1999. (same material number)
However, BOM & routing only create in prodution plant 1000.
How do we copy BOM & routing (in prodution plant) for the material creates in Physical distribution Plant and excute costing run for it? (we need to excute costing run every month, so standard cost for the material in productoin plant 1000 & physical distribution plant 1999 needs to be the same every month.)
Thanks in advance.

HI AO
1. There is no standard feature to copy the BOM/Routing from Plant 1 to 2...
While creating in PLant 2, you can give the reference of Plant 1.. Or you can use some BAPIs to do the same
2. If you want same std cost in Plant 2 as in Plant 1, then easier way would be to create a Special Procurement Key and assign the same in Material master - Costing View of Plant 2 (1999)
Follow the steps below
1. Go to OMD9
2. Click on New entries: Enter your Plant = Plant 2 (receiver plant) "SP Pr Type" = Z1 and Proc Type = F;
3. Under Special Procurement Secrion
Enter U as special procurement and Plant 1 in the Plant Field (Transferring plant)
4. Save this entry, and in Mat Master of Plant 2, specify Z1 as Special proc key in Costing view (NOT MRP VIEW)
5. Run CK11N in Plant 2... and release from CK24
