Costing variant and production version

We have two costing variants "C" (used to create current cost estimates) and "F" (Used to create Future cost estimate). All of the production versions in the system have a validity date of 9999. Is there a way to tell the system to use one production version when costing using Variant C and another version when costing is done using variant F.
Or if that is not possibel than how do we use one production version in 2011 while recosting current standards and another production version in 2012. (Remember the production version that we are using currently in 2011 has a validity date of 9999)

Hi
In your Costing Variant - You have a tab callled "Qty Structure Control".... Here you can specify BOM Determination and Routing Selection id.... i.e. If the BOM / Routing attached to the prod version can be assigned a specific BOM Determination Class and Routing Selection id, it can work
OR ELSE
While doing CK11N, you can manually specify the Prod Version in the "Qty Struct" Tab..... Create an LSMW for CK11N and you can do a mass costing like CK40N.... CK40N does not have this option of specifying Prod Version
I would prefer 2nd option

  • REM Product cost collectors and Production version

    Hi All,
    Can some one pls let me know
    What are the product cost collectors in REM and how to create the product cost collectors ?
    What is the production version and the difference between production version and controlling version?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Bujji

    Dear Bujji,
    A product cost collector is a cost object in Product Cost by Period that collects the periodic actual costs incurred in the production of a material. It can be created in txn KKF6N.
    [Product Cosr Collector|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/EN/08/77ba810a1611d3a6b900104b55d538/frameset.htm]

    A production version determines the various production techniques that can be used to produce a material. It defines the following information:
    Alternative BOM for a BOM explosion
    Task list type, task list group, and group counter for assignment to task lists
    Lot-size restrictions and period of validity
    A material can have one or more production versions.
    It can be defined in the Material Master (txn MM02) in one of the following views:
    MRP 4
    Work Scheduling
    Costing 1
    The costing version is a different issue. It is a costing parameter and is used to save several cost estimates for the same material, with the same costing variant and the same costing date (e.g. in oder to cost the material several times with minor changes without creating new costing variants).

  • Subcontracting (Multiple Vendors Involved) and Production Version's

    Hello all,
    I would like to know more about this stuff. So do share your valuable thoughts.
    I was trying out a sub contracting scenario with multiple Vendors and Production Versions involved. The production version is designated in such a way that lot size/quantity of the requirement determines which of the available version's to be taken into consideration whilst generating procurement proposal via MRP.
    #1. Production Version:
    5 Version's of the BOM are assigned to various lot sizes.
    #2. I had 5 different info records created for the material-Vendor combination. Each one of them were assigned with a Prod version to it.
    Sample:
    #3. Post these settings i had a MRP run executed. Well !!! the results were different off-course. I neither did see the procurement proposals classified based on the prod version nor the first prod version assigned to the procurement proposals ( i meant i had a different prod version(version 4) assigned to the procurement proposals generated).  
    Questions:
    #1. Well the first thing that did strike my mind was how could i get the source list work for such scenario's ? I guess i can't go with quota arrangement coz which would split the procurement proposals into many halves and assign's it accordingly to the vendor.
    #2. How come production version 4 given the top priority here ?
    Source List state:
                             a. I had an item (tried the others as well) checked with fixed vendor indicator but the info record of the material-vendor combination had a different Prod. Version in it (well not PR4, i can guarantee you on that)
                             b. I had nothing marked with fixed vendor indicator. Results post MRP still did pick the same prod version (Version 4).
    #3. Last but not the least how can i get this thing to work ?
    Please do help out.
    PS: MRP 4 selection Method: 2 - Selection by Prod.Version
    Regards,
    Rahul

    Hello Rajen,
    Well as per your comment "
    Regarding the splitting, Not Always.
    There are two types of quota arrangement - Allocation quota and splitting quota."
    so meaning that allocation quota doesn't split the procurement proposal is it ? If so how are they assigned to vendors ? any other criteria being used up here
    Anyhow i had a new lot size method created with the splitting quota field unchecked. So how do i proceed from here ? meaning that how should i manage my quota file to not have my procurement proposals split ?
    Please do help out.
    Regards,
    Rahul

  • Costing and Production Version

    I am doing a costing run for material that has more than one production version defined for it. I want the costing run to pick up by default a prod version that we want to use for costing. However, it does not pick that up by default and instead we have to manually assign it in CK11n. Is there any way to make that Production Version default in the costing run. Please let me know. Thank you

    Hi,
    You can maintain the default Production version in Material Master - Costing1 View, under Quantity Structure section.
    Hope this helps... Reward your points,

  • Cost Comparing both production version

    Dear gurus,
    Cost estimation is runned for the BOM with version 001 and saved, againn iam running the cost estimation for the same material with BOM version 002 and saved.
    In the above case i need to see the report of cost estimation comparison for both the BOM.
    how to i see this one
    Regards,
    s.sakthivel

    Dear Sakthivel subramanian,
    Once after executing CK11N for the respective production version you will get the itemization for the
    material and you export that into a spreedsheet or a local file as per your need.
    In the same way do it for each production version and save the datas as a local file and compare it.
    check and revert back.

  • NA KOSA012 and Product Version deletion

    Good Day
    I have an issue when trying to delete a production version from the material master.
    The SAP message NA KOSA012 appears explaining that the version can not be deleted. I have checked the settings which the note suggests and everything appears to be correct. There are no open production orders in WIP either.
    I have never had this issue before when trying to delete a version
    Any idea's?

  • Capaity levelling and production version

    Dear SAPper,
    I curious about somecases in levelling.
    My client got 8 machine work center and they aware of capacity
    I create eight produciton version.
    MRP always put new planned order to first production order.
    After that my client would like to do capacity levelling.
    The problem is although they assign to other machine but the production version is not change
    leaving inconsistency of production version and new work center after capacity levelling
    is there any way we can capacity levelling considering produciton version too?
    Please kindly help.
    Best regards,
    Freddy Ha

    Dear Freddy,
    1.The system always picks up the first production version as a default,if more than one more production
    version exists for the same lot size,validity dates.
    2.Either you have to lock the production versions so that the system picks up the open production
    version or maintain different validity dates or Lot size.
    3.I'm not sure whether the system considers the prod version also during capacity leveling.
    check this link,

  • PPC1 Costing Variant and MM Standard ormula

    Hello Gurus,
    Can anyone tell me where the formula is located in SPRO for PPC1 Costing Variant?  Is there such a thing? 
    Also, what is the relationship between the material master Standard Price in Costing 2 and the Cost of Goods Manufactured value in CK11N?
    Regards,
    Gail

    Gail,
    It' not exactly a formula, but the configuration settings for the costing variant are made using transaction code OKKN.  Pay special attention to the valuation variant attached to the costing variant PPC1.  In the valuation variant to specify what methodology to use for valuing components, activities, and external processes.  You also specify how overhead is calculated.
    CK11N is used to generate cost estimates.  Once a cost estimate has been calculated you have the option of marking and releasing it.  If it is release it then updates the standard price field on both the accounting 1 screen as well as the costing 2 view of the material master.
    thanks,

  • CO41 and production version

    I am converting planned orders to production orders using CO41. Is there a way I can get the production version field to appear on the CO41 output screen so that like other fields I can change it before pressing the 'convert' button
    thanks a bunch

    Dear John,
    In my understanding it is not possible in standard SAP.
    If you have manual selection of production version and if you have set the BOM selection method as 2 in
    MRP 4 view of the material master then,
    1.If you create a production order manually then the system displays the pop up to select a production
    version.
    2.If you are converting the planned order into a production order then it picks up the one which is
    present in the planned order.So obviously if 2 production versions are there with same lot size and
    validity dates,then the system picksup the first one only during MRP run.
    Even if it picks up the first prod.version in planned order,but while converting click on master data and
    change the production version if required.
    3.Otherwise what you can do is set the production version in MD61 itself ,so that its going to be
    considered during MRP run and same will be included in the planned order.
    Check and revert back.

  • 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).
    thanks,

  • Contents of new costing variant, valuation variant and costing sheet not getting transported

    In our development client,I have created a new costing variant, a new valuation variant and a new costing sheet in separate transports.
    When I release the transports to move into the Test client, the contents of the configuration are not getting transported at all.
    I tried to do them again manually using  Table view - Transport , but again, if I view the transports in SE10,they don't show the table contents, etc.
    Any help on this will be highly appreciated.

    Ajay,
    Let me make sure I understand.
    Create a new TR using SE01
    Go to transaction OKKN (costing variant)
    Select the costing variant and then choose Table view - transport
    Provide the transport number
    At what point to I say 'include in request'
    If I try to use the menu option Edit-Transport-Include in request in the beginning itself, the 'Include in request' is greyed out.
    This is where I'm stuck
