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

Costing Run Error: No Valid Source of Supply

Hi Experts,
   I am new to Costing,
    While executing Costing Run for a matrial ABC in plant XXX with a Costing Run 111, I get an error No valid source of supply could be found
but when I run the Costing Run for Same material for sam plant with different Costing Run It gets executed properly.
I have read the thread related to it where it is giving reference to note 713111, 499699 and 422926 but there is no check for Source List in Material master.

Use OKKN as Jigar says.
Select the costing variant that you are using and then click on "valuation variant"
Look at the tab for subcontract - this will show what the costing variant is useing to creat cost estimates with.
Your options for subcontracting are:
2 Effective Price from Quotation Without Fixed Costs
3 Net Quotation Price
4 Gross Quotation Price
5 Effective Price from Quotation
6 Effective Price from Purchase Order Without Fixed Costs
7 Net Purchase Order Price
8 Gross Purchase Order Price
9 Effective Price from Purchase Order
If your material has a Special Procuremnet key 30 - then one of these strategies has to be used.

Costing Run Errors

Dear all,
I am getting Error No CK168: " Cost Estimate for material XXXX/ Plant xxx is incorrect."
How can i correct this error.
Regards,
sachin

hi Sachin
That's right and I am trying to explain the same. You need to check individual problem with every error and resolve it. It is a painful process but the outcome really worth from organization's point of view and this is one time activity ones you have error free boms you just have to take care of future additions.
in case to filter your selection you can use transaction code CKMATSEL. here you can complete your semifninished material first and then you may have hopefully error free finished goods.

No Error Log generated in 'Costing' step in Costing Run (CK40N)

In the Costing Run, when the 'Costing' step is run (after 'Material selection' and 'BOM Explosion' steps), it gives a hard stop when it encounters the 1st error, instead of completing the 'Costing ' step and giving an Error Log with material information and nature of errors. This makes it very cumbersome to resolve all the errors.
In the Costing Variant setting in config, the u2018Save Error Log' indicator has been checked.
Please let me know if I am missing something.
Venkat

Hi Vimal,
Your proposal does not resolve the issue. I found OSS Note 375901, which addresses this issue - see below
:In Customizing for the costing variant (Transaction OKKN) in the tab "Misc.", you chose "Messages online" for the Error Management option.
Solution
Change the error management for the costing variant to
"Log and Save Messages..."
Many thanks for your inputs.

How to ignore the material with error in costing run ck40n

Hi
Pls, advice how to ignore parent material form costing run if the components of that material have errors. I need to run the costing run excluding erroneous parent item. Is any configuration on this..
Pls help..
K

Hi Kesharika Goona...
If you want to exclude any material from Costing Run, there are two ways...
1. Go to Material Master, Costing1 view, take the check box "Do Not Cost". If you opt for this check box, the system will not consider this material for costing.
2. Where you run the standard cost estimate in CK40N, once you save you costing run with the parameters like Costing Variant etc, When you select the "Parameters" agains the Flow step of "Selection", you will be asked to give the inputs like Material Number, Plant etc.
There, against the Material Number, on the extrem right side, you will see a arrow, press that arrow, and there you can see a tab "Exclude Single Values". There you have to give the material number which you want to exclude from the costing run press "Execute" icon on the botoom-left corner of that pop-up window..
If you still face problem, pls revert back

Error in the Transaction CK64 - Costing Run (CK 318 and CK 361)

Hi Everybody,
Please, when I use the transaction CK64 to costing run, i see the following message of error:
1) First Error: CK 318
CK 318 - Cost estimate for material & contains errors -> Planned price
CAUSE
When an assembly was valuated, the system found that the cost component
split of material component &V1& from plant &V2& contains errors.
SYSTEM_RESPONSE
The cost component split with errors is not changed. Instead,
valuation is carried out with a price from the material master. This
result goes into the cost rollup. This happens so that the costing
result of the finished product is still meaningful.
</>Note</> The subsequent valuation is always with valuation variant
&V3&. Valuations with a manual cost component split are not taken
into account. This affects the following two cases:
strategy '8': valuation with manual cost component split
the possibility to calcualte manual cost component splits in addition
to the valuation strategy entered.
WHAT_TO_DO
Analyze the cost component split with errors and solve them.
Where can I found the "cost component split"? Would be a information of Data master material (MM03)?
2) Second Error: CK 361
Value of costing item & in itemization is 0
CAUSE
The cost estimate for the assembly contains item &V2&, which has no
errors, but was costed with a value of zero.
WHAT_TO_DO
Please check item &V1& in the itemization of the assembly concerned.
Where can i found this information of itemization??? I was looking in the data master of the material but i can't find.
Please, how can I solve this problems?
The status of the costing run for this materials is "KF - Costed with errors"

Thank you Rob. I guess our only option is to call each steps of CK40N by separate transactions. Do you know why when calling CK64 (costing) in background, the transaction in BDC will automatically change to CK40N even CK64 is hard-coded?
Thank you very much for your advice.

ERROR in COST RUN (MSG NO K0 105)

While running cost run CK11N or CK40N. I am getting Error msg. Group 2950 doest not Exit (K0105).
But Cost Element Group 2950 is available.

Can you cross check the Cost Element assign to your Credit Keys?
Did you define it by Origin Group? Does that correspond to the one (if any) on your Material Master?
Cheers.

Error during costing run(CK40n)

Dears
During costing run (ck40n),we got following errors,
1)Consumption account cannot be determined
2)Costing items for material R150 in plant EZP1 without cost element
3)Cost component split costed with value of Zero.
Can anyone tell what rectification has to be done ?
Regards
Akshay

1)Consumption account cannot be determined - Please see that consumption GL account for the raw material valuation class is assigned in OBYC..
If you doub le click on the message it gives the combination of
transaction/Controlling area/Valuation class/account modifier... for which you need to assign a consumotion account in transaction OBYC.
2)Costing items for material R150 in plant EZP1 without cost element - Please doubkle click on give the description of the message...this may be due to one of the primery cost element is not created as GL a/c or visaversa.
3)Cost component split costed with value of Zero.--if you solve the above this message will disapper.

Cost Estimate error is coming at the time of billing document release

Dear All,
Hi, I am facing one problem that is whenever i am releasing the billing document system gives the error message.
Error : No standard cost estimate found for this material 164001001.
Here problem is some finished products we have a cost run and other finished materials we don't have a cost run. Other finished materials billing document release time we are facing the above error. There is no costing run for other finished materials. Here we have a CO-PA.
I have mainatined the costing key settings(ke40) in co-pa. In Ke40 t.code i have maintained the below settings.
1. I have selected transfer standard cost estimate radio button under determine material cost estimate.
2. Costing variant is 1010( This is our varaint)
3.Costing version is 01
4. Period indicator : Current standard cost estimate account to entry in material master.
I have maintained the above settings in ke40 t.code. Please suggest if any thing is wrong on above settings.
And also i have maintained costing key to material type assignments in ke4j t.code.
Here i maintained the three point of valuation (PV), One is real valuation, second is manual planning, third is automatic planning.
here i have assigned material type (fert) to costing key in costing key1 filed.
Please suggest if any thing wrong in the above settings. Still i am facing the same error at the time of billing document releasing time. Anybody please help to me. It is a very urgent to me.
Thanks & Regards,
Reddy

Hi,
This is a common error when COPA is activated and when the Costing Key is assigned according to the Material type in KE4J.
When you need Cost estimation for few FGs and dont require for other FG, then you list out the materials for which you require SCE and then assign these list of materials to the costing key in KE4H(Costing key for Products) leaving out those which dont require.
But detail the requirement further to facilitate the solution.
Thanks & Regards,

Costing Run If RM has zero value

Dear Friends,
My client is going to get Raw material from parent compnay on free of cost. Now that mateial has 0 price. This material is the part of production of finished good.
Now If I run cost estimate or costing run then system is giving error message "" No price could be determined for material/batch xxxxxxxx"".
How I can do this thing that free of cost raw material (has std./MAP=0) should be the part of bom and cost estimate/costing run can be run sucessfully for finished goods.
If with zero value it is not possible then how I can do , please sugget if possible by some setting in PP/CO.
Thanks
Ravi

Dear Ravi,
Check with this steps.
1.Either set the check box for do not cost in the costing 1 view for that material in the material master.
2.If this is not working means,you can remove the costing relevancy indicator for that material in the BOM,just double click on
the item number of that particular material whose value is zero and you can find this field under the status/long text tab page.
Check and revert back.

Ho do we make msg. CK666 become warning msg when we do costing run?

Dear Experts,
The sys. activate transfer price for preserve use.
When we do costing run for profit center valuation, the following error msg ocurred.
CK666 Material 227BO0001/plant 1030: Transfer price could not be found.
Diagnosis
When switching profit center 0000008000->0000005000 (from the material component to the costing object), a transfer price could not be determined for transfer price variant 0 in respect of material 227BO0001 in plant 1030.
System Response
If you carry out costing for a profit center valuation, material 227BO0001 goes into the cost estimate without a value.
If you create a cost estimate for group valuation, profit from material 227BO0001 is not transferred into the cost component split.
Procedure
Check the settings for transfer price variant 0.
In OKEQ, the variant for TP is blank.
Ho do we make msg. CK666 become warning msg when we do costing run? and let costing result can be release, or there's another way?
Thanks in advance.

There is alternative solution.
Try using TCode SE91.
Enter the class - CK and Enter the message number 666.
Select that line message line.
Go to Utilities, Click on "Where-Used-list" or press "CtrlShiftF3" from keyboard.
Select programs and deselect all others.
Identify your program and double click against that under short description.
There you can change the letter from "E" to "W" as your requirement.

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.
Regards,
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.

Cost Run should not be getting executed on Material with Price Control V

Raw & Packing materials are with price control V in MM as company wants to keep them on moving average cost. Somehow finance users executed cost run on one such material and cost run was executed and the difference was posted in price difference. As far as I know, system shouldn't be allowing cost run on materials other than those having S as price control.
Question is: How to ensure system sends error if cost run is attempted to be executed on materials with Price Control V?

Hi
If you are executing cost run using CK40N, it releases the cost for all the materials i.e. both for the header and the components
the components may be usually valuated at V. So, the std price update for these will be only for information purposes and it wont revaluate your inventory for sure... This cant post to price difference.... Price diff upon std cost release will apply only to those materials which have price control S
However, if you dont want to release the cost for V items, you can specify them in the exclusion list... In Ck40N selection parameters you specify your plant/material, etc... While specifying the materials to be costed in the multiple selection screen, , you can also specify the ones not to be. Then std cost wont be released in those cases
