Costing run and premilinary cost estimate

Dear All,
Is it possible to run cost estimate and premilinary cost estimate for a product cost collector back dated. I mean for 01.03.2007. I know it is not possible. But anyother way out.

Hi Rangarajan
I think it is possible in future date and not backwards.
Thanks

Costing sheet and standard cost estimate

Hi
I am trying to use Costing sheet for overhead calculation .
But in costing run I am not getting the overhead amount calculated .
I created the costing sheet and assigned that to valuation variant .
Where from the actual / Plan values being picked up for over head calculation .
More over I need to understand on what basis the %age for overhead can be calculted to be aborbed to material cost .
In costing run I am having ZERO values for overhead .
I have followed the following steps
Costing Sheet: Components
Define Calculation Bases
Define Percentage Overhead Rates
Define Quantity-Based Overhead Rates
Define Credits
Define Overhead Keys
Define Overhead Groups
Even then the Production overhead is not being calculated at the time of Cost Run
for standard cost estimate .
regards

Do you enter overhead group in the material master.
Key that groups together materials to which the same overhead is applied.
Procedure
In costing with and without quantity structure, and when costing production orders and run schedule headers, you can apply percentage overhead charges by means of an overhead key if you:
Assign a costing sheet to your production order or run schedule header, or to the valuation variant for the cost estimate
Enter overhead charges in this costing sheet that use the overhead key field
Assign the overhead key to an overhead group
Enter this overhead group in the material master record of the material

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

Appreciate your help.

Hi kavitha
I dont think there is difference between Cost centre and master Cost Centre.
It may be Possible that under Cost Centre Hirarchy One Cost Centre is at Top node and other is Child of that Cost Centre.
Thank YOu.
Thank YOU.

Difference between normal Costing run and Costing run in Material Ledger

Hi everybody,
I have a question i wanted to know why we implement Material Ledger .
If material ledger is for settling variances on material then that is also possible without material ledger
Please clear the doubt what is different in ML as compared to normal costing run
thanks in advance
Regards
Deepa

Costing run is to calculate the std cost estimate of materials and Material Ledger costing run is to calculate Actual cost of production of materials.

CO/PP - Costing run - raw material cost component

Hi
In the costing run how raw material cost is taken?
is it the material moving price/
or calculated separately?
Please help

i think this depends on the costing variant defined in the order type
in the costing variant, this come from the valuation variant
for process orders you may check the following txns COR4, OPL1, OPN2

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

Difference between master cost centre and sender cost centre

Hi All,
could you please tell the difference between master and sender cost centre.
I want this information very urgent.
Thanks rakesh

Hi!
The master CT is a default Ct in your system.
In this case the logical pair for master is the "child" cost center -> primary and secondary cost centers..
The sender CT is a different thing logically -> this will be credited while posting. The sender is the one who claims money.
To this type the logical pair is the receiver cost center. While posting the receivers cost center will be debited.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Zsolt

Cost Updating and Standardized cost difference apportion

Dear All,
1、 Cost updating：Standardized cost or average cost change is updated across all sub-inventory simultaneously, but the update should exclude the inventory that lends stocks (we do not want to update the cost of lending stock).
2、Standardized cost difference apportion：Standardized cost difference apportion is operated manually without system support (we want to do the apportion when stocks are delivered).
I am stuck up with these question ..
please let me know the solution or the workaround to achive this
Appriciate your help
Thanks

Hi Abhishek,
Further to discussion on the subject,

In a nut shell u can consider that cost elemnts are providing u the documentation for Financial reporting & legal entries of a company.
Cost centres are cost collectors for different expense/revenues generated within the organisation with repsct to controlling part (Internal documenation) of the compny for better controlling the business scenarios.
Further cost centres are used for product costing.

Cost Center and res cost center

Hi team,
When i am going to settle the cost of PM Order , COst center pick from Equipment sonly. Then what is the use of assignemnt of cost center in work center.
thanx in advance

Hi,
How do I call you? SAPPM is not appropriate!...
You are attaching one cost center to your work center that supplies required resources (activity types) to perform the maintenance - in IR01. That cost center is to maintain the rate of the resource (Activity types) ie. Rs.500 / Hr or day - in KP26.
Whenever you are utilizing a resource from a work center, system refers the cost center / activity type combination to determine the cost. Based on no. of hours or days utilization, the planned cost / actual cost are determined from the Wctr, Cctr, Acttypes.
These are so called Source of cost center.
After completing the order, the cost incurred are with the maint. order. Now we need to settle to a cost object, it may be a cost center / WBS / Contract / PSEG etc.. depends on your business requirement. You may use a cost center as a Cost receiver / cost object to observe your maintenance cost of an Equipment / Func loc / or its group.
As a whole, the work center / cost center is used to determine the cost (Source). Equipment cost center observe the cost of maintenance(receiver).
Hope this description gives required clarification . If not, Revert back.

Running and memory cost of my program

I want to know how to check my program on memory and running parameters?
All i need to implement jvmpi for getting it done.

ThreadMXBean mxb = ManagementFactory.getThreadMXBean();
System.out.println("Current Thread CPU Time "+mxb.getCurrentThreadCpuTime()+" nano sec");
System.out.println("Current Thread User Time "+mxb.getCurrentThreadUserTime()+" nano sec");
System.out.println("Total Started Thread "+mxb.getTotalStartedThreadCount()); i think cpu time = Execution time of my program
then what is thread user time?
Also tell me Total Started Thread = 4
If i am right then i know only 3 threads -> java interpreter(jvm) thread
->main thread(currently running program)
->gc thread
->?(i dont know which is 4th....Please tell me)

Retraction of Cost center Costs- Primary and seocndary cost.

Hi ALL,
I've configured the cost center retractor for cot elements, and it works fine.
However, I've noticed that it does NOT retract the secondary costs from BI to ECC.
Is that the way it's supposed to work? How can I can get it to retract secondary cost element costs from BI back to ECC.
Thanks

Hi,
Either IP or BPS will not support retraction of secondary costs.
Please refer
For BPS

Retractors
In BI Integrated Planning, no new retractors are shipped.
In BI Integrated Planning, you can only use some of the retractors that are used in BW-BPS: you can use any retractors that work according to the pull principle (COPA and Public Sector) without changing them. Other retractors cannot be used directly in BI Integrated Planning; retraction is only possible using BW-BPS.

Cost plus and fixed cost project

Project Experts,
I have business requirements to create two projects first with fixed price and second with cost plus. Has any one did this and would like to share there expertise would be great.
Here are details.
For cost plus the business need is to create a project with transactions that applied a markup over the cost percentage. Any one did this do you know how you applied mark up over the cost %
For Fixed cost create a project with transactions that will create an automatic (additional line) with flat fees?
Many thanks in advanced for your time
Aijaz

Hi
I'm not sure I understood the exact requirements.
Anyhow, you could bill and generate revenue for a project based on the project expenditures. Setup the distribution method as WORK. You need to setup the bill rates for labor and bill rates for non labor resources. If you setup the bill rate for non-labor as 5%, the system will apply an additional amount of 5% to the costs of project non-labor expenditures. You could also use the burden schedule to apply a percentage of markup on labor and non labor expenditures. In any of those alternative you invoice will include lines which summarize the RDLs. The amount of each RDL us the calulated billing amount which include the raw cost with the additional markup.
Your additional alternative for billing and revenue is using events, which could be automatic or manually entered. Automatic events are calculated and generated based on the custom logic you might develop using billing extension. You could use that method to generate a fix amount event for the project invoice / revenue. Each event will be included as additional line in the invoice. Note, if you invoice should include the amount of expenditures and additional event based events, the distribution rule should be WORK. If you only need to bill the events, without the RDL's of expenditure items, setup the project for revenue and invoice method as Event.
