Costing variant change

We have a requirement to change a setting of a costing variant in which cost estimates with quantity structure was initally having setting as without date.The user now requires this to be changed to date mandatory.Kindly suggest which are the fields that will be impacted so that we could do a test on this

It all depends on the process you follow. Previous to setting the Date control, the user might have been entring the dates for Costing date to/from, valuation dates etc. there might be some business logic to propose which dates to use, it might be start/end of the month/year. Now after you set the date control, if you follow the same logic, then there should not be any impact of the cost estiamtion. However if you change the business logic then there will be the impact and needs thorough testing of how the cost estimates behave.
However the date control id and defaults dates can be modifies by the user while running the cost estimates.

  • Change of Costing Variant in Marking Allowance for CK24 price update

    Dear All,
    In CK24, price updation previously i had selected one costing variant for one particular material and released the standard price. Now, I am trying to do price update for a different material for which I used different costing variant for doing  the material cost estimate. Now when I am going to Marking Allowance in CK24 for that particular company code the previous costing variant is only displaying. But now for the current material that is not the costing variant for which i need price updation. It is just displaying the old costing variant.
    Please let me know how to change the costing variant for the same period.
    Regards

    Hi Srikanth,
    1. IMG: Logistics - General, Retail Pricing
    Define list variant and assign items
                  Enhance or create a new list variant with list field VKP01
    2. IMG: Logistics - General, Retail Pricing
    Texts for list fields
                  Adjust the text for the list field, for example, PP old
    3. Define a new SD condition type ZEKA, for example as a copy of VKP0 (Transaction V/06)
                  You can create this new condition either as a separate condition or if it is always determined together with, for example VKP0, you can define it as a condition supplement of VKP0. You achieve this by not assigning an access sequence to ZEKA but including it in the condition supplement schema (schema VKP000 in the standard system) instead. In addition, assign the supplement schema of the main condition (master data subscreen, for example schema VKP000). The main condition must be contained in the calculation schema used so that the condition supplements can be found.
    4. Insert the new condition type ZEKA in the sales price calculation schema (Transaction V/08)
                  Enhance the schema (assignment per pricing type) with the new condition ZEKA. In the standard system, we deliver schema WWS001 and WWS002. You can insert ZEKA at the end of the schema as a statistical condition.
    5. IMG: Logistics - General, Retail Pricing
    Control - control per list field, allowed costing levels
                  For the sales price calculation schema used, you must set control parameters for the list fields EKPNN and VKP01.
    List field EKPNN: In the lower subscreen (Saving list fields in master conditions) enter the new condition type ZEKA (application V). If the new condition type has an access sequence, that is, it is not used as a condition supplement, then you must specify in screen 'Allowed pricing levels' the condition tables in which ZEKA should be stored.
    List field VKP01: In the mid subscreen (Transport calculating schema data for list field), specify ZEKA as SP condition type.
    Note: if you want to send ZEKA for example in the assortment list as a condition, then you must also enhance the schema for calculating the sales price (VKP001, VKP002 or VKP003 in the standard system) with ZEKA.

  • Can we use two costing variants for standards cost estimate release.

    Hi,
    We have 2 plants (plant 5100 and plant 5200) under company code 5000.
    We have run standard cost estimate(CK11N) for material 98001000027 at plant 5100 using costing variant ZG01 and at plant 5200 using costing variant ZG02. First, we released  standard cost estimate (CK24) for this materia at plant 5100 and set (in marking allowance) costing variant ZG01 and costing version 01. Next time when we are trying to release the standard cost estimate for the same material for plant 5200, it is automatically picking ZG01 as costing variant in marking allowance and it is not allowing to change the costing variant to ZG02 saying Company code 5000: Release already carried out, cancellation not possible, Message no. CK797.
    Is it possible to use two different costing variants for release of standard cost estimate for a material at two different plants at the same company code? If so how?
    Please suggest.
    Thanks,
    Bijay

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply again.
    What is the benefit of assigning "Single Valuation Variant same to different Plants" ? In costing variant also we can assign maximum only one valuation variant and this valuation variant will default for all the plants, and hence I dont think it is necessary to assign same valuation variant to different plants.
    My  issue is :
    Example: ( Standard Cost Estimate for material 98001000027)
    Plant - 1
    Material Cost                                             Rs.100
    Labour Cost                                               Rs.50
    Overheads (10% of Labour Cost)                  Rs.5
    (say ,through costing sheet - 1)
    Total Standard Cost Estimate                      Rs.155
    Plant - 2
    Material Cost                                             Rs.150
    Labour Cost                                               Rs.100
    Overheads (20% of Labour Cost)                  Rs.20
    (say, through costing sheet - 2)
    Total Standard Cost Estimate                      Rs.270
    Now, Please explain why we cannot have two Standard Cost Estimates for a material at two different plants? If it is possible to have two standard cost estimates for a material at two different plants, how to take care of  overheads (rate of which varies) at two different plants (plant - 1 > 10% and plant- 2>20%) as we can assign maximum one costing sheet to a valuation variant variant?
    How to map the system so as to meet the above requirement?
    Thanks,

  • Can we use two costing variant for standard cost estimate

    Hi,
    Can we use two costing variant for standard cost estimate of two different materials in the same period ? e.g. Costing variant Z001 for Material code 1000 and Costing Variant Z002 for Material code 2000.
    Here the system is not allowing to change the costing variant in Marking Allowance (t code CK24) for marking and release of Material cost 2000 if the standard cost for Material code 1000 is already marked and released.
    Thanks,
    Bijay

    For a material in a period only one price can be released. Though you cn have two separate costing variants and then calculate standard estimate with that. U can release based on one variant only for a month. Or use MR21 and update the price as per the other variant
    Thanks and Regards

  • Costing variant in OKKN

    We are implementing SAP best practices. While maintaining costing variant in OKKN I didn't find three fields which need to be entered. These are org level, cost element indicator and currency indicator.
    But when I checked in SE16 for table V_CK03 these fields are there i.e. ORGEB, KOAKNZ, WAEKNZ.
    Could someone tell me why these are not available for maintanance in OKKN.

    When creating a new Costing Variant you might want use the settings that exist in one of the delivered Costing Variants and change just the pieces that you need to change in order to achieve the results that you're looking for.  For instance, you may wish to use a different Date Control from the setting that is delivered with PPC1 (Std Cost Est - Month).  To do so, you would click on the Date Control item found on the 'Control' tab.  The options are then presented to you and you can choose the settings that you would like to use (i.e., in 'Costing Date From' you could change the setting from 'Start of Next Month' to  'Current Date'--you would only make this change, of course, if you wished the current date to default into the 'Costing Date From' field when you create Cost Estimates in CK11N.  Without making the change the first day of the next month will default into the 'Costing Date From' field).

  • Costing Variant not visible in CK24 for my plant.

    Hello Experts,
    Using transaction OKKN, I have created a new costing variant ZPC1 to take the place of PPC1 for updating standard cost in the material master.  I basically copied most of the parameters ( including the Costing Type) from PPC1 but changed to a different Valuation Variant.  Running CK11n successfully generates a cost estimate without error (status KA) that meets our requirements. 
    The trouble is in transaction CK24.  I click the Marking allowance icon and I see both our actual plant, and the dummy preconfigured plant 0010.  For our actual plant, I also see the fields populated for Costing version 1 and Released check mark.  If I drill down on our plant, I get a pop-up for "Permitted std cost est variants", showing only PPC1.  However, if I drill down on the dummy plant 0010, I first get a search pop-up for "Permitted std cost est variants"  with an open field for "Costing Variant".  Drilling down further shows both PPC1 and ZPC1.
    I think maybe a "Costing Version" has been defined for our actual plant, and that is pre-selecting PPC1 and preventing me from using ZPC1, but when I search in config (transaction OKYD), I see nothing defined.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    My problem has been solved.  There was actually nothing wrong with the configuration.
    The problem was that the Marking Allowance had already been activated for costing variant PPC1 in period 11/2009.  This was visible from the marking allowance screen by the population of the fields Costing Version 01 and the check mark in the field Releaded.
    Now that we have moved on to period 12/2009, the Costing Version is blank and I see both Costing Variants available.  When I select a variant to allow marking, the Costing Version gets populated.  After running CK11N again to create a cost estimate for period 12, I was then able to Mark and Release my new estimate and verify that the new Standard Price updated in the Material Master.
    Thanks for your help, and I hope this record may be of value to others.

  • Product Costing - Two Costing Variants - Mark and Release In Same Company Code Same Period

    Hi All,
    We are currently handling a CO-PC project where client has requirement to use two different costing variants in the same period in the same company code. SAP standard does not allow use of two costing variants in the same period for the same company. We can have only One Costing Variant per Co Code for Marking / Releasing Standard Price. 
    There are some materials in Plant 1 or Plant 2 for which cost estimates using costing variant ABC1 calculated and than prices are marked and released (CK24), now same materials are received in Plant3 where mixed costing is used and thus need to have cost estimates from second costing variant ABC3 (second costing variant) marked and released. Object is to have ABC3 cost estimates in material master standard price field, but SAP does not allow to mark and release for second costing variant in the same period for same co code as ABC1 variant already ran for plant1 or Plant2 under same company code,therefore, business is not able update ABC3 prices in Standard price of the material master. 
    Purpose of this second costing variant mark and release run is that for some materials business would like to implement costing at Plant3 level also, where they get same materials from different production sites (Plants). At Plant3 level, business is using mixed costing where the standard price is a weighted Average standard price, taking the different production sites standard cost into consideration in combination of the volume split between those production sites.
    Did any one worked on this kind of requirement? Is there any SAP standard way to handle? Or this will need some ABAP enhancement?
    Kindly advise.

    Hi Atul
    1. You dont need separate Valuation Variant in Plant 3
    2. Use Costing Variant ABC1 and ensure that it has the needed Valuation Strategies in Valuation Variant
    Allow Complete Transfer in the Transfer Control i.e. Cross Plant Transfer in it
    3. Assign the Qty Str Type you have used in ABC3, to ABC1.. i.e. In the Costing Version, assign the Qty Str Type to the Costing Type and Valuation Variant from ABC1
    After this, do CK11N and CK24 for Plant 1
    Then do CK11N and CK24 for Plant 3, using ABC1.. You dont need to change anythiing before doing CK11N for Plant 3
    To make it simple, you can use any one of ABC1 or ABC3 in both the plants.. You only need to ensure that Valuation Variant, TRansfer Control are set up as desired

  • CK11N Costing variant Repetitive Manufacturing

    Hi ,
    T code : OKKN   we are able to find the Costing variant - PREM -Repetitive Manufacturing Version.
    While costing the productin in CK11N , Costing Variant does not display PREM.
    Could you pls suggest how to find.
    Regards

    If you go to OKKN, you will see that PREM is confiured as a Prem Cost Element.
    Ck11N, looks at planned values for product Costing, therefore this cannot be used.
    You cant use PREM, even if you were to copy it, you cant change the field.
    If you copy a standard one, then it will appear in CK11N, i.e. PPC1, however if you copy PREM it will still not appear.
    it appears to be down to the Valuation Variant, and it seems that 19 is not a recognised value for CK11N.

  • Creation of a new costing variant to cost production orders

    Hi all,
    Currently the business is only able to cost a vehicleu2019s production order at the standard cost value which is determined at the start of the year.
    During the year a number of the purchasing values will be updated with a new contract price, this increase will not be reflected in the standard cost until the end of the year.
    The business would like a new costing variant which will cost an already created vehicle in SAP by its production order at the u201CCurrent Costu201D (current purchasing info record value).
    It will need to be calculated in the following way:
    u2022Purchased material - at purchase cost from info record (see below for applicable exchange rate).
    u2022Manufactured material - child material to be at purchase cost (from info record). Routing cost (labour\overhead, etc) at current criteria.
    u2022No allowance for CPI.               [WHAT_ DOES_CPI_MEAN_?]
    u2022Exchange rate: ideally, fields are provided to input exchange rate. If this is not possible then apply current monthu2019s exchange;
    u2022FRAu2019s - current rate from the info record.
    u2022Summary of total material cost by origin code with ability to drill down to line level.
    u2022The output of the report will need to be similar to the layout of a production order but with only the current value displayed.
    We have some problems to understand this request: we don't know the transaction which is used by the users to costificate a production order and what does it mean "CPI". We are not sure on the feasibility of the costing variant requested because it must consider both actual costs and standard costs.
    It should costificate in this way:
    (Actual Cost of Row Material * Bom's standard qty) + (Standard price * Standard production time (in the routings).
    Could you help us?
    Many thanks to all of you, best regards.
    Alanis

    You can create a new costing variant with  a valuation variant that points to inforecords for material prices. Go to OKKN t-code and create the required configuration and start using the new costing variant to measure the current cost of making vehicles.

  • Cost center change

    we want to change cost center right now, I'm concerned about the PO and fixed asset with those old cost center, may I know the table for PO, fixed asset assignment?
    for the open PO(done goods receipt, but not invoice verification), PO(done both GR and IR) and fixed assets which are already posted acquisition, fixed assets already done depreciation, how  can we change the cost center assignment? if changed, any serious impact to the month and year end closing for system(for example, auto-payment can not run, depreciation can not run)?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    In KS02, we can't shorten cost center life, we can only change analysis period, only in OKEON, we can change the validity period.
    our business user propose following for accrual posting if cost center change (use new cost center to replace old cost center)
    -Cost center need to be deactivated.
    -And then accrue need to reclass to new cost center.
    -After that block the cost center
    but i check the system, we can only change validity period in OKEON.
    in KS02, we can block posting by locking primary cost posting.
    so my understanding is follows: (1).okeon, (3) KS02. but I 'm not sure the t-code to use for the second step,accrue need to reclass to new cost center, can anyone advise?
    also if we change validity period to end this month, after this month, user can't post to that cost center, why we need block cost center(step3), is it redundant?

  • 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)
    Regards

    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

  • 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

  • Costing Variant & Prod Cost Collector

    I am in the scenario of period costing with a product collector.  Please guide me on the following:
    While configuring for costing/valuation variant, I find that we create a costing / valuation variant under 'Material cost estimate with Qty structure' and also under Cost object controlling - Product Cost Collector, 'Check costing variant for Product Cost Collector' & 'Check valuation variant for Product Cost collector'.
    Do need to configure a costing variant and valuation variant under these paths, viz. under Standard Cost estimate with Qty Structure & also Product Cost collector ?

  • New Cost Component Structure in new Costing Variant

    Hi gurus,
    i created a new costing variant (to be used for planned prices, for budget purposes), then a new cost component structure.
    Now the system (transaction OKTZ) doesn't allow me to assign the new cost component structure to the new costing variant forcing me to mask the costing variant with ++++.
    But the aim, for me, is just assigning the new cost component structure to the new costing variant only for a company code and only for a plant.
    Does anybody know how i can reach the goal? Am i missing some step?
    Thanks in advance for the collaboration,
    Best regards
    Enrico

    Hi Utenza
    You can very well achieve this
    1. First of all ensure that a masked entry exists i.e. ++++ in Comp Code field, Plant Field, Costing variant Field and assign the Prmary cost comp str here
    2. Then, coming to the new costing variant and new cost comp str,
    a. Enter ++++ in the comp code field
    b. Enter your plant name in the Plant Field (and not ++++)
    c. Enter your new costing variant here.. (This should be the costing variant where costing type is not 01)
    d. Assign your new cost comp structure here against this costing variant

  • Create a new costing variant or use a existing one

    Dear Friends,
    Company XYZ does not use absorption cost.
    In Company Code 1000, Costing variant XY  does not do any calculation because zero values are entered in acitivity type,costing sheet.
    For new company code 2000 &3000, Users want to enter values at activity,costing sheet etc.
    I like to know the following,
    Should we use the existing costing variant XY  OR  Create a different cost variant for Company code 2000&3000.
    Regards
    Sridhar

    You can use the same if your Valuation Variant is gonna remain same
    entering act prices is part of master data which is independant of Costing var

Maybe you are looking for
