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.

Plan Changes Mid-Month

I changed my plan from 1400 min to 2000 min mid-month. If I would not have changed my plan, I would have been charged 32 minutes overage. Because I increased my plan by 600 minutes, I was charged 162 minutes overage. This absolutely makes no sense! Customer service simply says it was explained on the web site as being pro-rated. I did not understand that and the explanation on the web site may only make sense to a trained service representative with a calculator! II feel this is the biggest bait and switch ever.

When you change your plan in a billing period, if you do not backdate the change, what happens is the bill is prorated for each plan.
For example. Lets say you changed on the 15th day of a 30 day billing period. You would be allotted only 700 minutes the first 15 days before overages occur. Then 1000 minutes the last 15 days before overages occur.
Actually online, it is spelled out very clearly. It states if you choose today, the change may result in overages due to proration. And explains why backdating is best,

IT0007 Change Mid Month/Payroll error

Geeks,
I have a situation wherein I need to change the WSR of a employee mid- month - which I did thru PA30 by creating a new IT7 with start date as 14 july 2014 (below is the overview screen shot of IT7 after change)
With Basic as 5000, I ran his payroll from 01-july 2014 to 31-july 2014, but when I look the form, its displaying Basic as 3518 (I haven assigned any unpaid or LOP). Can anybody help me out in knowing wht mistake m I doing?

In the IT to or from INP1, I can see that the Partial Period Parameters WageTypes /801, /802, /803 and /806 all total 100% (or 10.000,000), while /804 totals 70.37% and /805 totals 174.19%.
In the IT from XVAL, it can be seen that all valued WageTypes were done so by using /804.
I am not familiar with Payroll for India, but here are a two questions :
1 - If your Payroll Schema includes function PRINT with Par1 = NP and Par2 = PART, check your Partial Period Parameters and try to identify why /804 totals 70.37%.
2 - What kind of Absences or Attendances has the employee to justify that ratio?
You have mentioned that "Basic Salary" WT 1000 has Pr.Cl.10 with value 04, meaning that Partial Period Parameter /804 will be used for the factoring of that WT, and that is what happens.
The solution to your problem lies in understanding why the factors /802 and /804 are identical for the first portion of the payroll period but are different for the second part of the period.
3   /802   01     40 740,74
3   /802   02     59 259,26
3   /804   01     40 740,74
3   /804   02     29 626,63

Change to Base in costing sheet

Hi Friends,
If one base ( BA01) is included in 3 costing sheets , now I am chaging to base BA01 fo costing sheet (CS01) and adding 2 activity types , now my question is since BA01 is incuded for 3 costing sheets(CS01/CS02/CS03) so the new actvity types will be added automatically for other two costing sheet bases.
Because bases are controlling area dependent and not specific to costing sheet.
Any pointers, please clarify my doubt.
Regards
Ashu

Hi,
yes, thats what it is: "Because bases are controlling area dependent and not specific to costing sheet." So changing one base-definition will affect all costing sheets that use this base-definiton as well.
The only thing is, you enter cost elements (or groups of them) in the base definition, not activity types.

Costing sheet in productin order

Hi,
When we are creting production order system is not taking the costing sheet automatically. But we confiugured all the things properly. 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

Cost Center , Cost element , GL Accounts , Cost sheet , Account Assignment

Dear Experts,
Please explain what are Cost Center , Cost element , GL Accounts , Cost sheet , cost component and structure, Account Assignment and how they are interlinked with each other with transactions.
Thanks,
Ram

Dear,
Cost element : A cost element classifies the organization's valuated consumption of production factors within a controlling area. A cost element corresponds to a cost-relevant item in the chart of accounts.
Primary cost element: A cost element whose costs originate outside of CO and accrual costs that are used only for controlling purposes
Secondary cost element: A cost element that is used to allocate costs for internal activities. Secondary cost elements do not correspond to any G/L account in Financial Accounting. They are used only in Controlling and consequently cannot be defined in FI as an account.
Cost Center: An organizational unit within a controlling area that represents a defined location of cost incurrence.
GL Accounts : GL Accounts is master data preparation which is assign to chart of accounts.
Costin Sheet : The costing sheet integrates all elements of overhead costing. In costing sheet calculation base, cost element & Overhead rate & credit are define.
cost component and structure :
Cost component - Makes the costs of a material, an activity type, or a process transparent & Groups the costs of a material according to the requirements for material valuation and profitability analysis
cost component structure : It is use for
Activity prices for an activity type
Cost of a process
Planned cost of a product
Material costs passed on to material valuation as the standard price or inventory price
Cost of goods manufactured passed on to Profitability Analysis
Account Assignment : It's use for direct posting. In this we have to assign GL which is required to post directly.

Programmatically update a Project after a resource rate change.

Hello, I have the following scenario (Project Server 2010):
1. The resource standard rate for an enterprise resource (Joe) have been changed from $120 to $125. The change was made in PWA
2. Joe has assignments in several projects
3. PMO wants to see the updated projects cost (due the rate change) in a Project Center view
Easy Solution:
In Project Pro, open and publish each project. Works just fine, the Project Center view shows the updated project costs.
Desire Solution: Using the PSI update all projects. At first sight is pretty simple:
1. ReadProjectList (only those where Joe has assignments)
2. For each project in the list do QueuePublish
But, seems to be there is no method in the PSI that "loads" the new resource rate, as Project Pro does when the project is opened.
I have tried with QueueUpdateProject and QueUpdateProjectTeam but I have no luck. Furthermore, programmatically I have made other changes to the project, like add a new resource to the team, then publish the project, and the change is shown but still it
continues working with the previous rate.
Any idea on how to achieve this?
Thanks,
Daniel

I just got off the phone with Apple. They said it was a software-update related problem. I restarted the computer and everything is working.

Can we do poduct costing with out using cost sheet and overhead rates

Hi,
can we do product costing with out using cost sheets and overhead rates.
In that cast , how the cost estimation happens ?

Hi,
a costing sheet is used to calculate (on a base) overhead values. If you dont need / want to use this functionality just create/use a costing variant where not costing sheet is assigned.
Use this costing variant in CK11N or KKPAN, depending if ou have a quantity structure or not.

Changing Plan Mid-month "pro-rated" unclear and deceptive practice. C.S. offers no help

I recently found myself having to up my plan minutes for a family emergency. I went online and checked my usage I was at 394 minutes out of a 450 minute plan, so I elected to switch to the 900 plan minute for the month, ancipating I would go over in the next week. I was given options to back date it or start on that day, as I had clearly not gone over my alloted minutes, I chose to start it as of that day.
My Bill came and I received 69 dollars in minute overages. How was this explained, that by prorating the bill, they divide the cylcel in half, not only by "dollars" which seemed to be the explantion I received online, but by minutes. SO my minute alotment of 450 was reduced to 240 for those two weeks I oriignally had 450 minutes in. They billed as if that was my allowance therefore saying I now went over my plan by 154 minute which I was billed to the tune of 69.00 dollars, plus the addition of the monthly increase in plan.
My question to any logical rational intelligent person would be, why would someone choose to up there minute plan, before they went over, just to then be charged for minutes they would not have been had they not upped there plan to the next level. This defies common sense and any explanation would as well.
Customer service sadly would not even hear or understand this, only to say this is a valid "cost" and I should have read the "disclosure" statement or called if I had questions and not use online services. I asked both the operator and a supervisor for the terms of the disclosure agrement and neither could tell me what it said. However in reading billing question answers they respond "For example, if you changed rate plans during the middle of your billing cycle, your statement should contain a charge for the old rate plan (according to the number of days in your cycle that you were on the old rate plan) and the new rate plan. " yes that makes sense but no where does it say your minutes may be reduced up until this point and you may occur additional charges not already used. by ironically "increasing your minute plan".
I am waiting for a manager to return my call, As a long time customer of verizon whom have promoted them and the new iphone all over facebook and such to my friends I am very discouraged by this practice, and the lack of resolve.

Mike I appreciate that at least you are familiar with what the disclosure statement says, despite othert reps not being able to recite it. However the term "may" be in inself is Misleading, if "airtime" is prorated the statement should read "YOUR airtime MINUTES will be prorated and reduced to this point, possibly resulting in overages and additional charges" The wording is intentionally misleading. If it weren't MIke, why would anyone KNowingly select an option that would then cause them to owe an additional 69.00 dollars they didnt owe at the time, when UPPING their PLAN?
The fact that Customer Service Can't see that as a very real possiblity and just is dissmisive saying You should have read the disclosure statement., and it is a valid charge tells, me they run into this frequently and they have a script to read from to cover themselves, leaving the HUman Element out of the equation. It is sad enough I had to Up my plan only temporarily while dealing with a tragic family situation, to add insult to injury. To me the term "may" be prorated and "may" result in additional overages meant, that if I had gone over my minutes prior to the change I would be charged, because MIKE that is COMMON SENSE. and a REASONABLE person May think that. Cutomer Service Reps could at least acknowledge that as a very real Understanding of how that line could be interupted, and that a reasonable person would not otherwise increase their plan only to be charge for something they would not have otherwise been charged.
I am almost positive in the Future this wording will be Changed after the continued Myriad of complaints. From what I already understand the new "changing minutes and not plan" option already has changed it. SO why not make things right for long time loyal customers now. I actually want to reduce my plan back down now as it was a temporary emergency however I DONT dare do it mid month again, SO I will wait another 2 weeks and pay even more.
This is NOT ME and my misunderstanding, just googling the topic comes up with tons and tons of complaints, articles written on the topic and so fourth. I have been waiting days for someone as promised to call me back as well and that hasnt happened. I have talked to so many friends about this many verizon customers and all say this can't be right, because it DOESNT MAKE SENSE, despite it being "valid" as you say.

Complex Product Costing Scenario- Separate overhead rates to same material

Hello- I have a strangely complex scenario at my current client.
They wish to apply different overhead rates to the same raw material (one material number in SAP) which is a part of two different BOMs to the same Semi-Finished product (one material number in SAP). This semi-finished product needs to be costed 2 different ways with 2 different BOMs, routings and overhead rates and then i need to use mixed costing to come up with a blended rolled-up cost to update in the material master of the semi-finished product. I am able to get past all challenges but the only open item is to be able to apply different overhead rates to the same material.
Limitations:
1- We have to use Standard price, not moving average.
2- Split valuation idea thrown out the window.
3- Using 2 different material numbers for the raw materials thrown out of the window.
4- Business area idea thrown out of the window.
basically, coming back to the original issue at hand, the challenge is to be able to apply different overhead rates to one material number in SAP.

Hi
There are available,, But you have thrown them out of the window already
I believe you need to rampup your overhead absorption mechanism... if ovh is dependant on the component, then it should remain fixed/.. however, if it is getting changed bsaed on the parent material, then driver is not the component, but the Parent material
hence, your overhead should be based on Parent material... Assign an overhead group to the Parent material say, 100 and 110 to the 2 Parent materials.... Now you maintain separate % of overhead per overhead group.... BASE would be the raw material consumption cost element
@ Subodh: Do you think above suggestion will work?? I think exit need not be used if I have understood his requirement clear

Maintain overhead rates for cost centers

hello
could some one tell me when i should i maintain overhead rates for the cost centers.
thanks
ram

Hi,
If I do not misunderstand your question on "WHEN", to take the overhead calculation on cost center effective, you need to setup the costing sheet and assign the costing sheet to the receiving cost centers to collect overhead before you take overhead calculation for them.

Overhead costing sheet in easy cost planning

Hello,
I have created a overhead costing sheet (having base as material cost elements where a %age is defined to be applied on the material cost) and attached it to the valuation variant of easy cost planning in PS module.
Now for a given project when I am checking the easy cost planning, it is showing all individual lines of resources like material etc. along with its qty, price and value but I can not see the effect of the %age specified in overhead costing sheet.
Kindly suggest what is to be done.
Also pl. let me know whether I can see the cost component structure of easy cost planning.
With Thanks and Regards
Ratna

Hello,
Thanks for your reply.
But when I run CJ46 for a particular WBS element, it says "The object is not relevant for processing".
I have created the costingsheet as per the process mentioned below.
For overhead costing sheet, base is created with raw material cost elements range and origin group range.
Overhead rate is defined with dependency D020 - Overhead Type/Plant as 1.5% with proper validity period.
Credity key is defined with secondary cost element with category 41 and cost center and fixed % with default "*".
The above costing sheet is attached to the valuation variant of easy cost planning in PS module.
There is a cost component structure 10 which is attached to costing variant PS06.
Still CJ46 gives message as "The object is not relevant for processing" when I run it for particular WBS element.
Kindly suggest whether I m missing any other step.
With Thanks and Regards.

Error while entering the Overhead percentage 0.3693 in Costing Sheet

HI,
While defining costing sheet in the system,i need to give the overhead percentage as 0.3692 as per the client requirement.but the system is giving the below error.
Input should be in the form __,___,__~.___V
Message no. 00088
Diagnosis

System response
The entry in this field was rejected.
Procedure
The entry must comply with the edit format. The following edit format characters have a special meaning:
"_" (underscore)
There should be an input character at this point; this should be a number for numeric fields.
"." (decimal point) (applies to numeric fields)
The decimal point occurs here (setting in the user master record).
"," (thousands separator) (applies to numeric fields)
This separator occurs (optionally) for more than three figures. Depending on the setting in the user master record, it can be a period or a comma.
"V" (applies to numeric fields)
The operational sign appears here. If used, it must by at the right margin of the field. The sign is either "-" or " "(space).
"~" (tilde) (applies to numeric fields)
As of and including this character, leading zeros must also be entered. Otherwise, this character has the same meaning as an underscore. Leading zeros need not be entered on the left of the tilde. They are not output at this position.
All other characters have their normal meanings and must be entered in the same position as in the edit format.
Thanks
Sunitha

hi Sunitha,
this error is related to Decimal Format pls check your setting in country
For 4.7C
SPRO > IMG > General Setting > Define countries in mySAPsystem
For ECC 6.0
SPRO > IMG > SAP Netweaver > General Setting > Define countries in mySAPsystem
select your countries and double click in that there is last field for Decimal Pt. format check that format and try to enter value according to that format because in error it showing 4 decimal and there you may have maintained in two decimal. also check decimal currecy setting. One more reason could be there instead of full stop you may have maintained comma in setting.
thx.
