Costing Variant Creation in spro

Hi,
Please let me know the creation of costing variant in spro.Need configuration steps for it.
Regards,
A.S.kUmAR

Hi there
Please see
Transaction: OKKN
Or
IMG-> Controlling-> Product cost controlling -> product cost planning ->material cost estimate with quantity structure ->define cost variants
You can create your own or copy from an existing costing variant.

Costing variants assignment

Hi,
I have completed creating costing variants. I somehow have to bind these costing variants with order types. Can somebody help me and give me a TCODE or tell me where I can find the costing variants assigment in SPRO.
Are there any important settings in assignment or do I have to simly bind PP order types with costing variants?
Best wishes,
Karol

Hi Karol
After creation of costing variants and valuation variants you hv to assign them to PP orders for Production order costing
Here are the steps you need to look into
Go to cost object controlling node
1) Check costing variant for Manf Orders PP - Here you copy standard variants for Planned and actual order costing and create your own orders. the valuation variant assigned to planned order here should be same as the one assigned to std cost estimate. Similarly for actual production orders assign actual valn variant
2) Check valn variant for Manf orders
- Here assign the valuation variants
3) Then check the order types - here u should assign settlement profile created for production order settlement
4) Check for costing relevant default paramters for PP orders
Here u need to assign RA Key and the Planned costing varaint and valuation varaint in Prelm Costing and in Simultaneuous costing - assign actual valuation variants and actual costing variant created for PP orders
Let me know if you need any more clarifications on the above - Pls assign points if the above helps you in your final steps of configuration for product costing

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.

Costing variant in Controlling & Production

I want a clarification on the following:
I have create a costing variant (ABC1) in Controlling and I am using this for standard costing run.
But lately I found that from PP side, they are using another variant PPP1 for plan and PPP2 for actual.
But when I see the order costs, the target costs are done as per my costing variant ABC1. How this is happening ? Is it simplly because I am selecting this variant in the CK40n ? I am not able to see the variant ABC1 in the variant list available in the PP configuration screen. Have I done correctly ? Or I should have created the variant ABC1 in the PP Configuration Screen (tcode OPL1)

Hi NIkita
Generally these Costing variants in OPL1 is also created by us and not PP guys. You also need to default it at Production order type to avoid much issues.
You cannot use the costing type of ABC1 as that was for product cost estimate, you can use the standard one for it available.
Valuantion variant can be reused.
If you go to set up through spro and go step by step as you did for ABC1, you will get a better picture.

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,

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 ?
Please give your comments ASAP

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

Variant Creation in SAP BI To be used information broadcasting

Dear Friends,
I want to create a VARIANT in SAP BI 7.0 Which is to be used in information broadcasting. I found One Document Named as "Variant Creation In SAP BI to be used in Information Broadcasting.pdf",in SDN Forums. I Couldn't able to Understand the Given Steps in it.
Could any one of You Please send me the Procedure how to create a Variant.I should also see the "Determine from Variants" button in Work book precalculation Tab,which i am not able to see it currently under "Workbook Precalculation".
Waiting for ur reply.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Singam Bhaskar Reddy

Hi,
Even I have gone through the SDN document. It is clearly explained step by step. If you follow the same document thoroughly you will be able to see Determine From Variants radio button properly.
Try to understand the document.....you will get the solution.

Variant Creation for the Back Ground Jobs

Hi experts
1) What are the settings we need to consider in the Variant Creation for generating CVC's, Planning Area Initialization, Calculate Proportional Factors and Loading planning area.
2)I believe Process flow to create process chain:
Generate CVC's-->Planning Area Intialization>Load Planning Area Vesrion--
>Calculate Proportional Factors
Please correct if the process flow is not right.
3) Is it require to check the adjust time series for generating CVC's for every time?
4) How to generate the proportional factors for all the products in the single job?I assume that need to create a single selection ID which has all Characteristic values and assign this while creating the Proportional factors.Please correct me if i am wrong.
Please give your valuable opinions on the above queries
Thanks in advance
Edited by: Mani4690 on Mar 4, 2009 9:37 PM

Hi,
Below are the answers to your queries.
1) What are the settings we need to consider in the Variant Creation for generating CVC's, Planning Area Initialization, Calculate Proportional Factors and Loading planning area.
While creating CVC's (t-code /n/sapapo/mc62)select your MPOS, goto create characteristic combinations, then enter Target mpos, say generate in background, tick against all fields in action selection, and then save as variant. During planning area initialisation(/n/sapapo/msdp_admin), select your planning area, right click and say create time series objects and then enter planning version, start and end dates and execute job in background. While calculating proportional factors (/n/sapapo/mc8v), enter ur planning area & infocube and then save as a variant. For loading data from infocube to planning area (tcode /n/sapapo/tscube), select the infocube, planning version, planning area, planning versin, periods, tick mark in results log, key figure assignments, if you have any selection criteria enter, and then save as variant.
2) 2)I believe Process flow to create process chain:
Generate CVC's-->Planning Area Intialization>Load Planning Area Vesrion--
>Calculate Proportional Factors
Please correct if the process flow is not right.
Correct
3) ) Is it require to check the adjust time series for generating CVC's for every time?
Yes, it is required.
4) How to generate the proportional factors for all the products in the single job?I assume that need to create a single selection ID which has all Characteristic values and assign this while creating the Proportional factors.Please correct me if i am wrong.
if you use mc8v t-code and provide planning area & infocube, it will ask for version name and dates, once u enter this info, proportional factors will get created.

Actual costs posted to work order without maintaining costing variant

hi,
i havent maintained costing variant for work order(maintenance order) type i used to create the work order. so when i posted goods issue, how does the actual costs get posted with out maintaining the costing variant for work order type. what is the role of costing variant configuration in work order type settings.
thanks,
monica

Hi monica,
Costing variant forms the link between the application and Customizing, since all cost estimates are carried out and saved with reference to a costing variant. The costing variant contains all the control parameters for costing.
The configuration parameters are maintained for costing type, valuation variants, date control, and quantity structure control.In costing type we specify which field in the material master must the price be updated,
In valuation variant we specify in what order the system should go about accessing prices for the material master planned price, standard price, moving average price etc. Further which is the price which should be considered for activity price. How the system should select BOM and routing.
assign points if useful

Default account assignment in cost element creation

hi,
in the cost element creation transaction (KA01) I need the default account assignment to be the WBS element. but in the transaction only cost center and order is showing as dafault account assignment, how can I include the WBS as cost object?
Thanks

Hi
If you are aware of FI substitution or validation, it works the same way
1. Go to OKC9 and click on New entries
2. Enter your contr area and choose Event = Line Item and Save.. It would ask for a transport request
3. Now click on the magnifying lens icon, then drill down on cost accounting > Line Item. Now click on Create Substitution icon and give it a name
4. Now click on Create Step and write your substitution by choosing fields from the COBL structure
It should like like, Prerequisites: IF COBL - BUKRS = XXXX and Cost Ele = YYYY,
Action to be taken if Pre-req is met - Substitute WBS = ZZZZ

Costing Variant authorization Error

Dear Experts,
While creating Sale Order (MTO scenario) system is throwing a error "No authorization for Costing Variant XXXX in Company
Code XXXX. understand that system will calculate Sale Order Costing in this scenario. So, user should have Costing Variant authorization in his user profile.
Basically SD related users doesn't have authorization for Product Costing Objects.
And Basis guy has maintained the authrn by costing variants object level not by the T- Codes level.
How can I allow SD Users to Costing Variant authorizations?
is this the correct way?
Please help me.......
Regards,
Balaji Bhonsle.

Dear Ajay,
Firstly thanks for your help.
Is this possible to give t-code authorization by without giving costing variant authorization?
Because Client is not ready to give entire costing variant authorization.
I strongly hope that, it doesn't work any t.code autr without CV Authn related to PC Object :K_KEKO.
Is there any possibility to do this t code autrn.
Regards,
Balaji Bhonsle.
