Costing run activation

Dear gurus,
I have not taken costing run for the last two month, but I have not faced any error during MIRO transaction & during billing document release to account.
Last year we faced error such as Perform planned price change for the material & MIRO transaction not performed.
what will be the possilble reason.

Deven

Hi,
During costing run if you give from and to period as maximum i.e. from 01122009 to 3112010, then for this period system will check from and to period and system will not show any error if you did not run costing run for this time period.

Costing run activity one materieal is value double another materieal corec

Dear gurus,
we run costing run in 20 materieal code insted of 20 materieal one materieal is showing double value remaining materieal is showing perfect.
we chacked BOM and routing in workcenter which is same for all materieal codes,
please replay as soon as posible i want release materieal cost.
Thank you!

Hi,
see product cost estimates is calculated using cnsumption qty mention in BOM multiplied by the price maintained in the material master + std direct activity qty mentioned in workcenter/routing and indirect activities related cost center multiplied by the activity rate maintained in KP26.
Now i am amazed that how could be BOM / ROUTING can be same for all the material, if this is the case means all the material and its cost will come as same if there is no difference in indirect activity qty and rate.
So plz check the BOM Components there might be double std qty entered for the consumption else there would be the line repetion for the qty. U can also check for the direct activity qty and activity calculation formula.

Costing run and activity allocation

hi,
as there is a costing run (routing) to get the cost, may i know why still need to do direct or indirect activity allocation ; actual assessment ; actual distribution?
thanks
rgds

hi,
Costing run and activity allocation are two different processes.....
the former calculates the cost of a product
whereas the later distirbutes the cost among various heads as you want to

Costing Run Error

Hi All,
I am currently trying to roll cost for materials but have an error that i can not seem to resolve, i hope someone can assist me and help me understand.
While rolling the cost for a specific material the MFG Overhead cost is not being calculated correctly, i have looked at the routings for this material and do see where the error might stem from, but i do not think it can be corrected from there.
The error is that in the routing the cost for MFG Overhead is calculated by adding Labour (1H) and Setup (0.017) and MFG Overhead = 1.017. The lot size of this material is 300 but when roll up the cost with CK11N per unit the Set up value is 0.003 but the MFG Overhead does not calculate in the same fashion it remains as 1.017 (it should be 1.017/300 = 0.0033 ) This is causing a massive discrepancy in costing. Now one solution is that the amount can be corrected externally and then update the routing and run the costing, but there will be an issue if the lot size is increased in the future (instead of 300 the lot size is increased to 400, now the routing will have to be change to 1.017/400 = 0.0025). How can i correct the logic within SAP? I have tried configuring the costing sheet, but i am not not sure where to change it. In my costing run i am using costing variant PPC1.
I have tried being as detailed as possible, and i hope it is coherent.
I would really appreciate you help and points will be awarded.
Thanks in advance

Hi Althea,
Thank you for your response.
In the routing we have removed the MFG Overhead and now are using the Costing Sheet to calculate the Overhead. I think i have updated everything, eg costing sheet, costing sheet components, percentage overhead rates, costing variants. But now the requirement has changed again!!!! Just when you think you have crawled your way out of a ditch, someone pulls you back in.
In the legacy system they were able to calculate overhead in relation to cost centers ( Setup, Labor and Overhead for 403, Setup, Labor and Overhead for 403B and for 407 etc), but in the costing sheet you can only enter one cost center, is it possible to enter multiple cost centers and where would i do that?
Now i had a cost element for Overhead, but in the cost element category was incorrectly selected as 43 (Internal activity allocation) instead of 41 (Overhead rates) now when i am trying to use select that Cost Element in the Costing Sheet under the credit area it will not allow me to save it. I have created a new cost element but i am not certain what the impact might be
Please help!!!
Thanks in advance

Import Duty added to costing run CK40n

Hi all,
We are looking to have the system automatically add the import duty on materials imported from outside of China into China during the SAP costing run. Was lookign at using CK74 additive option to set this up in the costing run or maybe somewhere in MM-PUR?. Has any one done this before or have any information on how to set this up please?
Cheers

Hi sree-
You can use x-plant material status indicator during costing run. you can set up all the parts that are active with an indicator and use this indicator during cost run. you will find this indicator in dynamic selections.
Hope this helps...

CATS INTEGRATION WITH PP AND PM MODULE ( TO FIND ACTUAL MANPOWER COSTING THROUGH ACTIVITY TYPE)

Hi Experts,
We have a scenario like, Client wants to track the actual manpower costing through activity type ( Ex: How much hours an employee worked on a particular work center to produce an “X” product, So that his actual cost should be loaded on that product.
We have employee ( 1. Staff 2. Worker 3. Contract labor employee and apprentice from third party roll and staff and worker we plan to go with negative time management and for contract labor and apprentice will go with through cats.
Since we are not going to run the payroll for contract labor employee and apprentice, we just maintaining the employee data as a group ( Ex: Group A,B,C etc.. Each group consists 20 or 30 employees, According to system each group as one employee and according to us each group consists as 20 or 30 employee.
The Activity type as well cost center will be created by Co module, the same will be assigned in info type 0315, but still i want more input from experts on the same, since i am new to cross application time sheet configuration, could any one help me out to find the actual manpower costing in a better way.
Regards,
Prem

Hi Experts,
Can any one please reply on the same.
How to arrive the exact manpower costing through activity type ?..

Prerequisites for costing run

Can anybody tell me the prerequisites for costing run..
I thought the requisites are BOM and routing only.. Is there anything else..
What is a Product cost collector... Please explain the importance of the same..

Pre - Requisites for costing Run :
1. Material Master With costing view
2. BOM
3. Routing.
4. Workcentre ( with cost centre / Activity type)
Once when you have all the master data then a costing variant should is required.
this is at configuration level.
Product Cost collector:
1. these are used in the Repetivite manufacuting sceenarion.
2. in Rem we dont have individual production orders, we willcreate one produce cost collector for the material/plant /production version combination.
3. This actually genarates a CO order
4. This product cost colletor becomes the central point for collection of all cost related to that material
5. All the costs collected here will be settled to the material periodicaly..
6. You can create PCC with kkf6n.
Kindly let me know ur feedback

Hi everbody,
I found that when we have a formula in Resource -> Costing view but no quantity ( zero ) in Standard Value for operations (Master recipe) then we face the error.
Other tips could be found in sapnote 1770587 and sapnote 380282.
I hope this help to solve the issue.

Global Costing Run

Hi -
We've implemented a Global Costing solution with plants and stores located all over the world - does anyone have experience in how we can 'automate' the Costng Run to run on a global scale ?

Hi sree-
You can use x-plant material status indicator during costing run. you can set up all the parts that are active with an indicator and use this indicator during cost run. you will find this indicator in dynamic selections.

PP/CO issue - Costing Run.

Dear SAP GURU,
Understand that there's Material Cost Estimate Without Quantity Structure.
Really appreciate you guy can share the following :
From CO/PP Point of view,
1) Can we Costing run without BOM but with Master Recipe ? Since there's Work Center & Activity type.
2) Before Costing Run , What if Production made misstake created , Release & Confirm the Process Order ?
3) Cost Estimate with Quantity is to calculate non-order-related, What if Order related ?Should we use Cost Estimate witout quantity structure?
From PP Point of view,
4)What's the major problem that will affect the BOM Explosion during costing run ?
5) What is Major issue will impact Costing Run (beside Master Data) ?
Thank you.

Dear,
Don't ask too many questions in one thread also this thread is relevant for CO forum So please use correct forum.
1) Can we Costing run without BOM but with Master Recipe ? Since there's Work Center & Activity type.
Yes you can.
2) Before Costing Run , What if Production made misstake created , Release & Confirm the Process Order ?
See In this case system will do the valuation as per the price given in material master.
3)What's the major problem that will affect the BOM Explosion during costing run ?
There could be many problem but few listed problems are Lot size validity date, Status of BOM. Cost relevancy indicator.
4) What is Major issue will impact Costing Run (beside Master Data) ?
Same as per question 3.
Hope it will help you.

Future price not deleted after cost run

Hi all,
If a material master has the future price maintained on the Accounting 1 view, then it is picked up in the next cost estimate that is created.
Costing strategy is Future price, Price from PIR, Standard cost.
However, I have been told that once the Cost estimate has been created, the future price is deleted from the material master. In this way the cost accountant can delay the release of a new standard price to avoid large re-valuations.
The future price is not being deleted following our cost run, can anyone advise on this?
Thanks
Phil.

Future prices will not delete when a cost estimate is released. If the Future Price is ACTIVATED (no cost estimate involved) then the Future price field will clear because it is "rolled forward" in the same manner that a Marked cost estimate is rolled forward to the Released Cost Estimate, leaving the field Future Planned Price on Costing 2 blank.
Be very careful with CKME - it will activate future prices and release future planned cost estimates, but it does not stop and show you what is about to be activated or released and the financial impact. We wrote a custom transaction that had CKME report what it is going to do, so we have a chance to review the infomation.

Costing run for MRP-MPN set

Hai,
I am using MPN concept in my process.
Here I am getting one problem while going for Costing Run.
1. In BOM component for FERT is maintained as leading part. on which there is no Inventory maintained or no value for this material in Material Master so in costing run it is taking that value.
2. How costing run consider the MPN materials for Costing.
Thank & regards
KM

Hi,
Normally while creating the material master, we will maintain some approximate value in the accounting view. Then later while running the cost estimation, it will explode the BOM, routing it will calculate the BOM item component costs and the activity costs and the same it will update in the costing 2 view. This is the concept of standard cost estimation.
MPN material is the manufacturer part no. While procuring the component or while supplying the components to the supplier we need to supply the material as per their material no we need to supply them or procure them. But for our easy handling or to follow our own system we will me maintain the different material no. This 2 things we need to link MPN profile and the MPN material no. When u order your own material, the system in turn will create a purchase order with the vendor material no. This is the MPN material logic.
regards,
V. Suresh

Pre-requiste for costing run

Hi
VERP, ROH are in BOM with S and price determination 3, FERT and HALB are also on Standard price.
I want to run costing run for semi-finished and finished materials in May 2010 in QA but May is not open.
I am going to maintain ROH prices via MR21 system response that prices could be maintained in period 4-2010.
I think if I maintained prices in 4-2010 then close the period 4 and open period 5, costing run will not pick the prices of ROH because these prices are not maintained in period 5. Material ledger is active.
Please advise pre-requisites for costing run in period 5-2010.
thanks
imdad

Hi,
When you use actual costing in Material Ledger,a price must be
released before the first goods movement in the period.
The sequence is as follows:
1. calculate and mark ALL prices BEFORE MMPV
2. run MMPV   to open the period
3. run price release (CK42N, CK24, CKME)
To ensure a complete release of ALL prices, it exists the dynamic price
release. That means postings, which occur after step 2, but before
of total completion of step 3, will release prices dynamically. That
means, a price change document is automatically triggerd by and posted
together with the goods movement.
For materials with Price determination control 3 this new price released price must
remain during the period.

Cost Center Planning done but correct price is no shouing in Costing run

Hi,
In cost center activity planning (KP26). i have planned cost of Setup Activity type is 10 rs per 1 min (Fixed). but when i am running Costing run (CK11N) it is not showing correct price which we have given in cost center planning (KP26).
Cost Element category is 43
in Work center i assigned cost Center and setup activity.
So What is the problem. is this problem related to CO or from Workceter.
anybody could help on this.
Thanks
NAG

Dear,
If it is low consumable material then remove its cost relevency from BOM item details. So it will not come in costing run.

Costing run in PP

Dear all,
I am new to costing run,by using previous forum from the expert of kumar and rupesh i have studied the costing run process
From my understanding
1) For FG/SFG materials with quantity structure to be maintained in material master.
2) Relevant BOM and routing should be maintained for FG/SFGmaterials.
3) In work center proper cost center and activity type to be maintained
4 )what are the activity type is maintaining in work center for that price to be determined in KP26 for valid time period.
5) By using CK11N running the standard cost estimate and save
6)By using ck24 marking and release the price of the material.
7)Now checking in material master costing view 2 planned prices values has updated.
In above points kindly please correct me if i am wrong.
Regarding doubts
For example;1)I am maintaining fixed prices as 102 in material master,what will be in COGM & COGS cost value?(if cost lot size 1 & 100)
2)What will the price value in costing 2 view once after marking & releasing the price in ck24?
3)I have mainatined labour price in kp26 but tha cost values its coming as zero?
Kindly please let me clarify on this
Regards
Rajasekaran

Dear Muralidhar,
The flow path for Costing Run is
SAP Menu
- Production
- Product Cost Planning
- Material costing
- Costing Run - CK40N
Or else
SAP Menu
- Production
- Product Cost Planning
- Material costing
- Cost Estimate with Quantity Structure
- CK11N - Create.
I hope your question is answered.
If satisfied rewards suitable points and close the thread as asnwered.
