Costing run: std validation contingent upon selection?

(This is a repost to the correct forum)
Gents hi,
I always thought the parts that will have their std changed (validated) though a costing run (then CQ24) would have to be selected in the costing run. Here seems to be a situation where the raw material are to have their std changed, even if the only parts selected in the costing run are the HALB and FERT.
Is that a surprise to you?
Thanks for your time

Hi
If you run the cost estimate from CK40N - It releases the Cost for all materials involved i.e. FERT / HALB/ Raw mats etc
however, if you run cost estimate from CK11N & CK24 - It would release only for the material for which cost estimate is run
In Ck40N - you can stop the system from releasing cost for raw mats... In the Step SELECTION of Ck40N - You specify the Plant / Mats....
Using the Multiple Selection option for MATERIALS, you can specify a range of mats in the Exclusion list.. These will not be costed then....

Strange issue encountered when doing costing run

Dear experts,
I encountered a strange problem when doing costign run use CK40N.
I created a costing run on 23.12.2010 In the costing run the validity was set from 01.01.2011 to 31.12.2011, I did all the steps except release, all steps were done successfully
I released costing run on 01.01.2011, but when I hit a material to check the costing date, found the costing was only avaliable to 31.01.2011 not 31.12.2011.
I was wondering if any actions or modifications done will affact on the costing date of material?
Have you ever meet this problems?
Please give me some help.
Thanks for your time and concern.
Regards,
Anna

Hi Sarada & ajay
Thanks for your comment.
The most strange thing is...
When I display costing run, the valid to date is 31.12.2011, but in material, it shows 31.01.2011....
I did test again, to change the valid to date in CK40N of the costing run, but the result is, date in material alway the same with what displayed in costing run in T-code CK40N.
One more information, we usually do costing run per month, and we just change to valid date to end of year from 2011.
At first I thought it might have some relation with modifications to costing variant, but after doing test, the modifications will not affect.
The valid date in material should always be the same with what displayed in costing run.
And after the first step 'Selection' in costing run, the date will not be changed.
So I could not come out with any idea with issue......

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.

Reg:Not able to run Std-Costing

Hi Team,
Finished product has been already run with Cost Collector & Std-Costing, but the respective BOM against said code has been changed (item has been added to BOM). After this, Standard Costing & Cost Collector is not able to run.
Can you pls suggest me.
With Regards,
P.Arunkumar.

Dear Arunkumar,
I think you are working with REM scenario.
Standard Cost estimate can be carried out only once for any material for a period.
Assuming that after taking if your BOM is getting Changed say For Eg: One more new component is
added in the BOM of a Finished Product,then in that case goto the product Cost collector of the Finished
product and click on Change mode Button (Shift + F6) and then click on The Cost button (Shift +F1) and
then save the datas.
Now while doing the confirmation in MFBF,you can see the latest BOM components getting
posted.
So no need to carryout eh cost estimate once again,so till this period that particular component will be
having only the actual value in KKF6N.So during the next period take the cost rollup and so that the
component will be having Planned as well as actual values.
Check & Revert back.

Selection List for Costing Run

Hi guys
I vaguely remember that there is a place where I can create a selection list on only the materials that I want to cost in CK40n, but I cant seem to find it any more.
I tried the CKMATSEL - Create transaction, but when I go to execute the Selection in CK40n, I dont see what I created in CKMATSEL...
Is there any other way or am I doing something wrong in the CKMATSEL screen?
Thank you
Rukshana

Hi Rukshana,
Pls go through the following which may be of help...
1. If you want to exclude the Materials from a single Costing Run...
If you want to exclude some Materials from Costing Run, when you select the Materials to be costed in the "Selection Parameters" of Costing Run, press the Arrow button for additional selections, click on "Exclude Single Values" and mention the Materials which you want to exclude from the Costing Run.
In the selection, you can select all the Plants (Plant 1 to Plant 4). By this, system will exclude those materials which you mentioned from all Plants when you run the Cost Estimate.
2. If you want to exclude the Materials from being costed on permanent basis...
Go to MM17 (materials mass maintenance), select the "Fields" tab, "Find" - "NCOST", select that row, press "Execute". Now, select/give all the Materials which you want to exclude from being costed, mention the Plants and "Execute". You will see the list of Materials which you have mentioned and on the right hand side, you will see the column with "NCOST" field. Mark "X" for all materials there.
This NCOST field is nothing but "Do Not Cost" check box in "Costing1" of Material Master. By this, system will understand that, whenever Cost Run is done, all these materials should be excluded from being costed.

On costing run, Raw material price in Std price field is getting updated

Hi All
When i am executing costing run (CK40N) for a FG, the price field in Std price for a raw material is getting updated.
We are maintining price control as "V" in case of raw material.
Is this right? if not, how can this be avoided.
Regards
Rakesh Hase

HI Ian,
Given enough time and money, anything is possible....
You do not say which industry you are operating in. In some SAP industry solutions the functionality you describe is available - if I remember correctly IS Mill Product has something like that. It is available for use by companies that for example make copper cable. They get a regular copper price from an exchange.
But it would be relatively simple to get a feed from an exchange with the daily closing price, and then write a little program that will read that file and post an MR21 transaction to update the price.

Delete STD cost run....

HI Experts,
I want to delete the Curent std cost estimatoin, i have tried ckr1 and ck44, in ck44 i have deleted costing run....but the std cost still in the material master,....i have trires in ckr1 also but not deleted costing run.....any authorisation issues need to check or......
PLs guide how can i delete the std cost of current period...
Thanks
Chandu
Edited by: G.C.S.Reddy on Dec 25, 2011 12:32 PM

You can delete Material cost estimates also at CKR1after deleting Costing Runs at CK44
First delete Costing run at Ck44. Then delete Material cost estimates at CKR1
Check below links to get an idea.

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

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..

Sarada

Plan cost run

we want to plan our 2011 cost run, can we run the costing in Nov. mark the cost on Dec.29 2010, and release on Dec.31 23:59 2010 as background job? thanks

Hi,
It is possible to do like you mentioned.
The steps to carried out is as provided below:
1. Creation of Cost Estimate:
Set the validity from date as 01.01.2011 and To date as 31.12.2011 for example.
2. Marking (This can be either manual or background)
Execute the transaction ck24 either manually on specified date or in Nov itself select the menu> Program> Execute in Background and specify the date as 29.12.2010 and time if any.
3. Release(To be executed in Background)
Execute the transaction CK24 in Background by selecting the menu > Program> Execute in Background and specify the date as 31.12.2010 and time23:59.

Costing Run for Configurable Material

Hi,
When I try to run costing run CK40N for KMAT material, I am geting information "No materials selected" for the 'selection' flow-step.
Below is the Error description.
No materials selected
Message no. CK277
Diagnosis
Due to the costing variant used, no materials could be selected for the cost estimate.
System Response
No materials were selected.
Procedure
1. First, check that the materials you want to cost exist.
2. Then go into Customizing and check the costing variant, the reference variant, and the transfer control. If the plant changes, a suitable transfer strategy must be entered in the transfer control belonging to the reference variant.
Thanks in Advance,
Shiva

hi Shiva,
It is not possible to do the cost calculation for configurable materials in CK40N or CK11N.
To do the product costing it is mainly required the BOM and Routing, but in case of configurable materials the BOM and Routing are not fixed(here Super BOM/Super Routing are used with valid object dependencies which may result in "n" number of material variants)
To do the costing for configurable material you can use t code - CU50 (configuration simulation)
Here in CU50 you can select the characteristics values which ultimately selects the valid BOM and Routing required for variant production and do the costing and check.
Please check

Costing run for a material with alternative BOM

Hi Friends,
My requirement is to have product costing for a material with 3 different BOMs, in CK11N i can change the alternative BOM number to have costing run for 3 differesnt boms, but in ck24 how to proceed, My client requirement is such that the standard price should be the average price of the costing run from 3 different boms, and they are not interested in manual price change in MR21
Regards,
Arun Kumar R V

Hi Arun,
You can have a Standard cost estimate based on only one of the alternative BOM and Routing. This alternative is selected based on the business ie., whichever alternative is generally used in production frequently. This will be the std cost and whenever you do the production using the other alternatives, the difference in cost will be captured as Variance.
There is no option of having average or cost estimate for each alternative at the same time.
There is absolutely no use in maintaining price in MR21 for an in house produced material, since during Prod Order process the planned costs will be arrived at based on the quantity structure of BOM & Route only.

Price update step in Costing run to other prices probelm - Very urgent ...

Hi All,
Can anyone tell me why does it updates only 1100 materials prices to commercial price though costing has been carried for 7900 materials? I have selected the price to be updated to commercial price 1 and as said above only 1100 only are shown under materials and 6800 materials are shown as still open in my costing run
I have looked into it, it appears to me that its becos of materials without quantity structure, their prices are not getting update to other prices
If anyone has any clue or infact a solution for this issue, please do help me
Thanks in advance
Kumar

Hi Suraj,
thanks a lot for ur quick reply. I think ur reply has answered most of my question, however in my costing run I have selected all the materials in my plant, meaning the materials which are purchased (no quantity structure/raw materials)also. So from ur reply I understand that for the raw materials or materials with no qnty structure the prices are not updated in the material master to other prices but, if it is a std cost estimate, mark, release process then it updates the future, current stnd prices right?
Please confirm me on that, bcos I have used a different costing variant from a regular one that I use for std cost est. I have defined the variant with costing type "ad hoc for commercial price" and with update as "other than std price". I want to make sure is the problem discussed above is due to my costing variant customization or is it bcos in price update function materials with no qnty sturcture are not updated in material master?
Your help is highly appreciated
Regards,
Kumar

G/L determine when do the costing run

Hi Experts,
Could you pls tell me hwo the G/L account determined when the std price of material is changed during costing run?
The inventory account should be from the OBYC-BSX. Then what about the offsetting G/L?
Thanks
Jimmy

> hwo the G/L account determined when the std price of material is changed during costing run?
PRD" " or PRDPRA. I don't remember exactly which. Do the transaction and find it out yourself.
You know, accounting entry only arises at the third step - releasing. (1.Costing, 2.marking, 3.releasing.)
If you use CK40N, you have selection and BOM explosion before those, needless to say.

Costing Run Reverse

Hi Gurus,
I have run the costing in ck4on in Aug 09,Due to some errors occurs in the costing , I wish to reverse such costing run,How it could be done ?,
Regards,
Deven

Dear Dev,
Generally the cost estimate will be carried out once in period and in case if you want to cancel the same,
You can use the T Code - CKR1 by selecting the radio button for Current std cost estimate and first check in test run mode and
then in the live mode.
Again you can a cost estimate using CK40N.
Check and revert back.
