Costing Sheet on QM Orders

We recently upgraded from 4.5b to ECC 6.0. Prior to the upgrade, we did not have costing sheets on our QM orders (they settle to other cost objects which then get overhead). However, since the upgrade, these orders have been automatically given costing sheets and overhead keys. (The costing sheet is the same on each order, but there are differing overhead keys.) Of course, this is causing duplication of overhead on these costs.
I cannot find how the costing sheet and OH keys are getting onto the orders.
I have looked OPL8, but this order type is not in this configuration. I have also checked the planning profile - this order type does not have a planning profile that defaults, but I can't see if the users are manually entering one. I have looked at tables VIQMEL for the Quality Notification and COAS for the QM order, but don't see anything that gives me an answer.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you!

Hi,
You have to first understand the functionality of costing sheet in SAP.
It is used to calculate or Load overheads to the inventory of Finished goods/semi finished goods.
Irrespective of how many process orders your client creates, with the help of one costing sheet you can calculate the overheads for all the process orders at the month end and then do month end activity.
In short you desing the logic of applying overheads on some basis either at percentages or quantity.
The base can be material, Labour, etc.
Hope this clarifies.
Thanks,
Ravi Kumar

Selection of Costing Sheet in Production Order

Hi friends,
I have one query, details of which are as follows.
Costing sheet in Requirement Class - Blank
This requirement class assigned to Requirement type which was derived in Sales order through Material master and hence Costing sheet in Sales order is blank.
Costing Sheet in Valuation variant (Plan) is Z0010 which is assigned to Costing Variant (Plan). It was assigned to Order type.
Costing sheet in Valuation variant (Actual) is Z0020 which is assigned to Costing variant (Actual). It was assigned to Order type.
I have created a new Valuation variant T01 in which Costing sheet is blank. It was assigned to a Particular Plant.
When i am creating the Production order with reference to the Sales order in that Particular plant, system is deriving the Costing sheet as per Valuation variant (Plan) which is common instead of picking from the plant specific valuation variant.
So, its calculating overheads and is impacting our Goods receipt valuation (In this plant, GR Valuation is as per Plan cost of the Production order).
I tried different combinations, and finally observed that it is picking the Costing sheet from the valuation variant (Plan) which is common and not Plant specific.
Is this system behavior correct as per SAP Standard?
Kindly advise on the same
Regards
Madhusekhar Gupta G

Hi Madhu
1. Production order gets coating sheet from the valuation variant assigned to order type
2. The valuation variant that you assign to Plant is for standard cost estimate only
3. For your case, create a new costing variant without costing sheet and assign the same to the order type for this plant
You can assign different costing variant to the same order type per plant

We configured order type, cost component structure, costing variant, valuation variant everything. Please guide me on default assignment of costing sheet to production order or order type.
Sateesh Kumar

Hi Sateesh,
Try this
IMG--ControllingInternal OrdersActual Postings-- Overhead Rates---- Maintain Costing Sheet and Overhead Key in Sample Orders
You enter the following in the model order:
Costing sheet
Overhead key
If you use the model order so defined as a reference order for an order type, the costing sheet entered in the model order and the overhead key are also used for this order type.
Hope this helps

Costing sheet in control tab of production order

In OPL8 iam able to configure default cost accountings for production order type but why costing sheet is coming by default in production order costing section.
Is there anyway to hide that costing sheet (AUFK-KALSM) from display to the users without effecting any cost calculation in the background.
The purpose behind this is not to let users mess with costing sheet selection while creation. this is possible with screen variant but is there any standard settings for order type?
Thanks in advance.

Dear Sprint,
No
In my understanding we do not not have any Std setting for archiving your requirement
Use screen variant or check for any exit

Varaince settlement and costing sheet in REM and Production order

for REM, repetetive manufacturing, what's the difference between REM and production order in terms of variance settlement and settlement profile design? what's the difference between process order and production order in terms of variance settlement and settlement profile design?
for actual overhead(fixed and variable), can it be calculated automatically by costing sheet? user is very angry to input actual overhead by jounal entry. also how about plan scrap, how to define it in configuration? besides order confirmation, where can I input actual scrap?

For variances, there is no difference between the 3 diferrent orders. The settlement profile can also be the same. The real difference from a CO perspective concerns the calculation of WIP and the settlement rule. Process orders and production orders normally use a full settlement rule (though periodic settlement is also possible) and WIP is calculated based on actual cost. Repetitive orders only use periodic settlement and WIP is valued at target cost.
From an overhead perspective, there is no difference between the 3 types of orders. Overhead sheets are assigned through the costing variant and costs are applied through period-end process.
Plan scrap is maintained in master data, either in material master, routing (receipe for process orders), or bill of material. Acttual scrap usually happens based on the quantity of components issued to the order during confirmation or by the amount of scrap reported during confirmation. If you are backflushing components, as you normally would do for repetitive, then you can adjusted the consumed quantities by doing an additional goods issue to the order (movement type 261).

Costing Sheet in requirement class for Sales Order costing

Hi Experts,
Could you please explain me the necessity of costing sheet in requirement class configuration.
There is a field for costing variant in requirement class. I hope costing sheet can be taken from that costing variant.
So what is the purpose of costing sheet in requirement class and could someone explain me the use of that field in requirement class.
What happens if the costing sheet in requirement class and costing sheet in costing variant mentioned in requirement class does not match.
Thanks.

Costing Sheet Overhead Rate Change Mid Month

Does SAP Support a mid month overhead rate change in a costing sheet? I have an overhead rate change effective 5/12/2007, but my PM Order is not recognizing the change unless the Basic Start Date of the order is 6/1/2007.

hi
it will not support mid month overhead. it should be either period basis or yearly basis.

Query related to Service Entry Sheet for maintenance order

Dear Gurus,
I am little bit confusing while entering SES for maintenance order,
Do we need to enter both Maintenance Order# & Cost Center# in Account assignment tab of SES?
What is impact of entering both in SES?
What is standard procedure of accepting services for maint order?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Amol.

Hi Amol
Why you created Framework Order ?.. You can not change account assignment category in service entry sheet..e.g. K-Cost Center.. F- Order
But depending upon settings, you can change account assignment values such order 1 to order 2
If there are requirement that SES can created for Account assignment F or K. I recommend you to use following approach
1. Create a Contract - ME31K with AAC as U- Unknown (If business already have rates negoiated with vendor for services)
2. Create release order with reference to contract and system will prompt you to enter AAC- it can be K or F
3. Perform SES w.r.t to Release Order.
Other Approach can but not strong one.. create two line items in the PO. one with K and Other with F.. then choose the line item at time of SES creation that business want to book the cost on CC or Order.
Thanks,

Cost Center in the costing sheet

Hello All,
We have set up the costing sheet with the material overhead flowing to a cost center 99XX through cost element 8XXXXX (in the "credit" view of the costing sheet) for all production orders. Now, there is a requirement whereby the material overhead for production orders of a certain division need to be allocated to another cost center 91XX.
Please let me know if this is feasible and if yes, how this can be done?
Thanks,
Rugmani

Hi Rajan
What is the basis of overhead absorption? I mean is it a % of some cost or Quantity based?
Different credits for same secondary cost ele is possible only by way of origin group.... And origin group is applicable to the input components in a BOM and not the Output (Header) material
A. So, if your overhead absorption is based on input materials and if these input materials are specific only to one Division/ Header material, you can achieve what you want with the std SAP functinality. But, normally in a prod scenario, this is not the case... One input material can be used across multiple divisions...
B. If this is not your case, then may be you need to consider CO substitution using a user exit or the relevant exit/BAPI called during CO43
C. Another option is to post the credit to one cost center and then do KB11N to transfer it to relevant cost center.... Info required to do this can be easily made available Like this
1. Double click on the credit line items in a cost center report (S_ALR_87013611) and choose to display actual line items
2. Plug in the partner object using change layout option
3. partner object will show you the Prod Order No... From prod order no, you can get the material and the division....
you can develop an ABAP report to give you this info...

Credit Cost center in a Costing sheet

Hi,
In the costing sheet i have to credit the Overheads to a cost center. Are there any guidelines for doing the same.
What effect does it has on while reporting for the cost center. Can someone explain me the purpose of this 'Credit' Cost center option in a costing sheet.
Thanks in Advance,
Safi

Hi,
In case of Indirect production cost centers,
We get the debits directly from FI through Primary cost elements and through allocations (distribution or Assessment).
These costs need to be Absorbed to Product through Product costing or service orders or projects through Overheads
This absorption will result in:
Manufacturing Order/Service Order/Project etc is debited and
Cost Center is Credited.
at the end of every month there will be debits and credits in the Cost center.
The difference between the Debits and Credits would results in Cost Center variances. These variances will be settled to COPA periodically thereby making Cost Centers a Zero Balance
Effect on Reports:
Though There is Zero balance in the Cost Centers, this will not have any begetive bearing or the reporting.
Because, Cost Reports for analysis of the expenses would be based on Primary Cost Elements (Verification of costs by Origin of the costs) and Varainces between planned and actual comparison also can be done
Hope this will solve your query.
Please award points suitably
Best Regards
Surya
