Costing run & MM period

Dear All,
Can someone clarify the below question :
Current period - 7
Date - 26.07-2011
Procedure 1 :
a) Run MMPV to close period 7 & open period 8 2011
b) Mark & execute Costing run
Procedure 2 :
a) Mark & execute Costing run
b) Run MMPV to close period 7 & open period 8 2011
Which is the right approach ? and also can we use both procedure in practise ?
Thanks in advance
Pbb

Hi
Simple answer is whichever period you are releasing the cost in, has to be open Both in MM & FI
If you wanna release in July, then P7needs to be open
By the way, 26 July is already gone... So, if your Costing date from was 26.07, you will have to rerun Ck11N as on today and then do CK24

Report on Costing Run

We have a requirement for a report. We run the standard costing run every period for all finished and semi-finished materials. Is there a standard report available from the system for reporting the standard cost (cost component items) for the materials costed ?

Hi Nikitha ,
There is one report CK80_99 .. which is a standard SAP report which gives you Cost Estimate by Cost Components ..
But the drawback is that you cannot have multiple materials in selection parameters and if you have lot of materials .. then its very time consuming to analyze .
What i did for a client is that i created a new ABAP report similar to CK80_99 which has multiple materails as selections . I took the selection date as cost estimate creation date and derived values from KEPH and KEKO tables and its working for my client perfectly..
Only drawback , is that the selection date is to be creation date.. not the validity date .. as validity date will pick up mutiple lines from KEPH/KEKO tables if multiple lines exists..
Discuss the same with you client and ABAP and revert back for any further questions..

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.

Apply previous period Costing run to Current period

Hi ,
Is there any way I can apply a previous period costing run to the current period?
I had done a full costing run through transaction CK40N on Oct 2010 with the following dates
Posting Period: November 2010
Costing Date From: Nov 1st 2010
Costing Date To: Dec 31st 2010
Qty Structure Date: Nov 1st 2010
Valuation Date: Nov 1st 2010
How can I apply the results of this costing run to December 2010? I do not want the costing run to affect November 2010 and I also do not want to re-run the costing run.
Thanks,
Sincerely,
Nicky

Hi,
We have just completed the analysis of the November costing run which consisted of a huge list of materials. We do not want to re-run the costing run for December because we will have to do the analysis again and we fear that we will not be able to update costing before Dec 31st 2010.
Is there no other way to re-apply the Nov Costing run results to Dec?
Sincerely,
Nicky

Thanks & Regards
Saravanan R

Dear Saravanan,
It is not possible to create a cost estimate for the past period and to release the same.
1.If your Costing Run date is some future date ,but the Costing Date from,Qty Structure Date,Valuation date is on
system's date,then the system will allow to release the cost and the same can be checked under Planned Price,Standard
price under Current Column in Costing 2 view.
2.If your costing run date is current date & the valuation,Qty structure date is some future date,then the system will not
allow you to release the cost.
So with this check & revert back.

New costing run within same period for relased cost estimate

Hi All
Once we have run the costing run. The price is marked and released. Then If we have to again runthe costing run, system says price for the priod has been released and doesnt allow to proceed.
How to overcome this? Cant we run costing run as and when required and multiple times release it in the same period?
Please help me
Regards
Rakesh

Hi Rakesh,
I would like to know what is your requirement of running the Standard Cost Estimate for second or third time in the same period...?
If you feel that, Standard Cost which was marked and released needs to be updated as per the changes in BOM, Routing etc, you can still do it...
First, go to transaction code CKR1 (Re-organization of Cost Estimates), select the parameters like company code, plant, material (for which you want to reverse the Cost Estimate), select the radio button for "Current Standard Cost Estimate" and execute.
Then, Current Standard Cost Estimate will get reversed. You check for confirmation in the respective material master -- Costing 2 View whether the Current Planned Price has become blank or not.
Then you do CK11N and CK24 again for marking and releasing....
Try this and pls revert back for further explanation...

Cost Run for Raw Material taking Standard Price instead of Moving Price

Hi all,
We ran a material costimate with normal components FG>SFG>RM. The RM price Control is set to
V (Moving Average Price) and for SFG & FG it is S(Std. Price). After we run CK11N, the price for
RM in Material Master changes as per Moving Price. We found that the RM Component is
costed based on Standard Price and not on the previous cost run Moving Average Price. After
certain period, if we again do cost run, the sytem is again picking up the standard price for costing
not the revised Moving Price. We have checked the Valuation Variant in the Costing Variant, where the strategy given is 1. Moving Average Price 2. Standard Price. We also tried to change the
sequence as 1. Price as per Purchase Info Record 2. Moving Average Price and 3. Standard Price and
also 1. Standard Price and 2. Moving Average Price. Our requirement is when we run the cost estimate the raw material has to pick the price of previous moving price stored in the Material Master. Kindly tell us where to set the indicator.
Thanks,
Sadashivan

Hi Srikanth,
Problem solved. I checked the sequence in Valuation Variant and modified in Valuation Variant for Plant which I have not set previously and now the system is working correctly.
Thanks,
Sadashivan

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.

Restrict all goods movements for materials untill the latest costing run ex

Hi dudes,
1 here i have a requirement that i need to restrict all goods movements in the month for all materials(SFG,FG) untill the latest costing run(standard cost estimate) on 1st of each month.
2. Can we restrict the status of process order in such a way that Conformation can be done only after the goods issues against production order. The goods receipt can be done only after the conformation of the process order.
Thanks in advance.
Robert.

Robert,
Procedurally you can block, by not opening the current period, before the costing run is completed, just when you wanted to release the cost estimate, at that time you can lock all users and then open the next period and then release your cost estimate and then unlock all the users. You need to work with your Basis/MM/FICO guys to have this procedure implemented.
On the GI Check before confirmation and Confirmation check before GR, you can use Confirmation and GR releated User exits to check. There are many posts on this topic, a simple search on this forum would take you to the thread.

At the time of cost run CK40N, cost relese in previous month.

Hi,
At the time of cost run CK40N, executing today or previous (05.04.2010). But Cost release in previouse month 31.03.2010.
I tried but system not allowing and saving the varient in previous period(31.03.2010).
Please provide solution and little biturgent.If any clarifiaction ask i will explain in detail.

Hi Sreekanth,
We also faced the same issue with CK40N costing in previous month. What happened is that during testing in quality the new month started and the system is not allowing back date release. So we have to now open and close periods in MMPV and OB52 which is not possible because MM postings are pending. So the new costing release has to be carried after opening and closing of periods.

Material list that have been chosen in a certain costing run

In which table I can found the material list that have been chosen in a certain costing run.

Another alternative is to make use of db package dba_jobs and create a job to run periodically (weekly or so) and call a procedure that will basically look for those notifications and check the begin_date and so on and then respond to them if it meets your criteria.
You will need to set the result of the response:
begin
WF_NOTIFICATION.SetAttrText(nid => l_nid, aname => 'RESULT', avalue => 'APPROVE'); --or whatever the result is
WF_NOTIFICATION.Respond(nid => l_nid, respond_comment => 'Approved from PLSQL', responder => 'ME', action_source => 'WA');
end;
You get the point...

Costing for previous periods.

Hi Experts,
Is there any way to do the costing run for previous periods.
I would like to do std. cost estimation for 5th period, but now we are in 6th period.
System giving message as cost estimation can't be saved for past period.
CK075: Planning date is in the past -> cost estimate cannot be saved
SKS

Dear Seshagiri,
It's the standard SAP'e bahaviour and there is no meaning in costing for a past date.
Also in my understanding
1.If your Costing Run date is some future date ,but the Costing Date from,Qty Structure Date,Valuation
date is on system's date,then the system will allow to release the cost and the same can be checked
under Planned Price,Standard price under Current Column in Costing 2 view.
2.If your costing run date is current date & the valuation,Qty structure date is some future date,then the
system will not allow you to release the cost.
check and revert back.

Costing Run for all Hub Plants

I just want to understand from you regarding your Monthly Costing Run for all Plants.Actually we have Plant 5000 (Ruwais) which is our Manufacturing Plant having BOM.
We have two other Plants 7000 ( Shanghai ) and 7100 ( Singapore ) these are our Hub Plants not Manufacturing Plants and having no BOMs.
When we run our Monthly Costing Run for Plant 5000 using TCode (CK40N), its completes smoothly without any error.
We have to create a material cost estimate in monthly basis using TCode (KKPAN) before we execute cost estimate for both Plants 7000 & 7100.
We see these runs at the months end as very time consuming and we are not manage on time set for such update in SAP as part of the month end procedure.

Hello Yasir,
In our system I see that PC01 and PC02 are the same for cross plant costing:
1 - Future Cost Estimate - valid for fiscal year
2 - Current Cost Estimate - no age restriction
3 - Previous Cost estimate - no age restriction
If your system is set this way, then for cross plant costing, it does not make a difference which one you use.
If all plants are in one company code then the currency should be the same in all, so P rate should not be an issue.
Take one part number: What period and FY is your current cost estimate? What are the validity dates?
go to CK11n, input the part number; <b>hub plant</b> number and create cost estimate.
On the Tab "QTY STRUCT." you should see only Special procurement data, the plant number should be the mfg plant.
Look at the Costing Structure. Top level should be the part in hub plant.
The first level below should be the part in the mfg plant.
theTosts should be the same and I would expect it to be the same as the current cost estimate. (Pay attention to the currency)
If the first level from the mfg plant is not the same as the current cost estimate, you will need to figure out where that cost estimate is coming from.
If you would like to send screen shots of your cost estimate screens, give me your e-mail and I will contact you with pictures of what I expect to see.

Unable to Release Costing Run

Hi All
I am in the process of testing the costing run in a test environment - however, everytime I try to release my Costing estimate - I keep getting the below error:
Company code: Release too early
Message no. CK157
My requirement is to have the new cost on the materials on 29/11/2009 - which is the first day of period 12.
What should be my date parameters?
Thank you
Rukshana

Hi,
a) We can execute the Standard cost Estimate/Costing Run-CK40 N only for Current period and also for Future posting periods. However it is not possible for u201Cpast/completed/closed periods. Again, you can u201CMarku201D the standard price for current and future periods. For u201CReleasingu201D the standard price, you need to wait for opening of the respective posting period. In your case, on 29/11/2009, you can complete the Costing Run-CK40N steps till u201CMarkingu201D of standard price. To u201CRelease the standard price for the material, you need to wait till opening of 12-posting period. If you want to execute u201CCosting Runu201D for individual materials for specific plant, use t-code CK11N and for Mark and Release of material standard price, use t-code-CK24. Otherwise, for Costing Run of Group/Mass Material s for all the Plants, and also Mark and Release of all materials prices, use t-code-CK40N.
b) how the Cost Change posts to the P&L and also how the material master gets updated...
By executing the u201CStandard Cost Estimate--Costing Run-CK40N, we can get the planned price/standard price for current or future periods. The respective material master will be updated with u201CCurrent Standard Priceu201D. NO ACCOUNTING ENTRIES WILL BE GENERATED.
The system will automatically posts the P&L GL accounting entries only during the u201CActual consumption of materialu201D, i.e., during execution of Back-flush and Confirmation of Production/process Orders.

Random check before releasing price updation in costing run

Hi all,
Before releasing the price with standard cost estimate how we have to check the correctness of prices & costs of materials.
Please suggest any standard SAP solution is available or any other way to check correctness of cost estimate & prices of materials.
thanks & regards,
ramesh B

If you are doing the costing run through ck40n then you can see the error message if any generated against the marking. If there is no items for which there is any error, then u can release the cost.
Next you can take a sample checkup of the Material Master Costing 2 tab to see whether there is any amount entered under the future tab with the posting period as the period for which the costing is done.

Vaskar
