Costing Variant for Actual

I require a clarification:
We define costing variant for standard cost estimation. We are in Process Order scenario. Likewise, should we have to use a costing variant for actual product estimation ? We want to have actual cost from the Product costing to the COPA from the cost component structure.

Hi
I think you are mixing up 2 things
1. One is costing variant for actual product cost estimate - As said by Declan you need to deifne this in OPL1 and assign it to your prod order type
2. Std cost estimate in COPA: For this you create a costing key and assign your costing variant (that you used for std cost estimate in CK11N/CK40N).... You assign this costing key to material types, etc and map your cost component structure to value fields.... With this, your std cost estinate gets trf to COPA during SD billing

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,
Bijay

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

Abhishek

Hi,
in Costing type (part of costing variant), under price update tab, you need to select "no price update" paramenter.
If you do this your issue is solved

Costing Variant for refurbhsiment order

Hi,
I have settting up refurbishment order. will the costing variant would be different for ref.order from normal maintenance order?
Please advise!
Regards,
Meghana

Hi,
Costing variants contain control parameters for all aspects of costing.
The costing variant forms the link between the application and
Customizing, since cost estimates are created and saved with reference
to a costing variant.
The costing variant controls how costing is executed, such as:
o Whether the costing results are planned costs or actual costs
o Which prices are used to valuate materials, internal activities, and
external activities
o How overhead is calculated
A costing variant includes the following groups of settings:
o Costing type
o Valuation variant
o Number range assignment
to know more about Costing part , dicuss with your CO consultant,
try OIOF tocheck for the costing variant assigned to Refurbishment order type. Remember Refurbishment order will be settled to the Material itself not to the Cost Center

COPA Costing key for actual cost component split

Hi,
I would like to allow the users to specify different period/year in the following screen every month when they do the COPA revaluation. However i noticed this screen is part of customization and cannot be changed by the users without a transport. As such how can we allow the users to change the period/year by themselves every month?

Hi Sanjay Ram,
Whatever the marked one i.e. period/year is used especially when you want to consider the PUP or actual cost the material for that specific period only. As you know it can not be changed in every period.
So, for that purpose only we have the above one i.e. period a/c to line item, by this system is going to pick the PUP or actual cost of the specific period for which the line item has taken place (the line item that may be billing or settlement)

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

Report painter/writer for actual cost component split

Hello Gurus,
Any of you guys ever explored possibility of creating a report using report painter or writer that can give both Standard and Actual cost component splits in one report? Is it even possible without custom ABAP involvement?
Thanks
RG

Hi Raghu,
After your reply, I am getting a doubt..
Have you Activated Material Ledger? When you say Actual Cost Component Split, are you talking about it what you get in Actual Costing/Material Ledger?
If yes, then you can map your cost compnents for Actual Costing in the path SPROControllingProfitability AnalysisMaster Data Valuation--Setup Valuation using Material Cost Estimate -- Define Access to Actual Costing / Material Ledger
Further, there are no standard reports available in COPA. Try to build a report comprising two columns, 1st column with the value fields which are mapped for Standard Cost Components and 2nd column with the Value Fields which you have assined for Actual Costing under the above path.
You will be able to get the comparison...
Pls don't hesitate to call me for further assistance....

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.

Srikanth

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.
If still not working ping me,

Sales order vs costing variant

hi
in production order ,in OKKN we take costing variant for standard cost estimate and calculate in CK11N and released then is updated in order CO01 through costing variant in OPL1 here we select 2 costing variant PLAN and ACTUAL. ok
for sales order in VA01we will calculate costing in menu -extra- costing--
1. is it standard cost estimate like CK11N,
2.while creating CO08 for sales order here we enter production order type PP01, in this order type already costing variant PLAN and ACTUAL would have assigned for oder type
so how it calculate plan and actual
or
first we have to configure all production order setting upto CO01 and after taking production order goods receipt then we we have to create sales order setting like requirement class,type,VA01 and CO08.
plz tell me sequence for sales related order
thank you
sowmya

Dear Sivani,
I think that in your MTO scenario Sales Order item is not a cost object. And hence, the production shall be done thorugh a production order and the actual costs of material and activities, overhead shall be compared with Sales order cost estimate. The production order shall be settled to FI and COPA. FI and COPA captures the variances. At the time of billing, the COPA gets the Revenue, COGS and its components. If that is the case the following building block shall be handy in configuring your requirement. Pl go through the same and revert if you need further input.

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

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

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

Maintaining a costing version in a costing variant

Hi,
I am creating a costing variant for standard mat. estimation. I have to maintain a costing version.
I don't know how to set all the parameters in costing version in OKYD. Will I have to set variant for transfer price, exchange rate and quantity structure?
Why do all these parameters show under and not beside the name of the element in the Assignment Tab of costing variant.
Best wishes,
karol

Hi karol
For standard costing purpose - costing version 01 is defualt version offered by SAP.
With costing version u can create different / various cost estimates created for SFG or FG material
You need to enter version 01 in customizing control paramters for costing variant - viz, in valuation variant, costing type etc
The need to create diff costing versions depend on the requirements.
Ex. Exchange rate is determined thru valuation variant, If you wish to have diff exchange rate for costing - u can enter diff rate and define it in diff costing version
So, when u do costing for a material with two version u will have diff costs
Version 1 - say 100 USD
Version 2 - Say 120 USD with diff exchange rate defined
Again in most of the implementations we dont come across using diff versions. These are considered only when base version costing is stabilized and controls are put in place for entire product cost cycle
System offers quite a lot of options, but everything cannot be chosen at a time to evaluate. My suggestion would be stabilize with the base and then look for these options.
Hope the above clarifies - Pls assign points as a way to say thanks

Costing variant with a valuation strategy

Hello all,
I have the following issue:
In PM I have defined a costing variant with a valuation strategy first u201Cstandard priceu201D and second u201CMoving Average priceu201D, and assigned this costing variant to the plant and order type.
When I create a PM order (PM01) with a planning plant and enter the components in the order with a different plant and determine the cost, the system determines the correct plan costs based on the Costing variant for planned costs. The planning plant and the plant where the components are reserved are belonging to the same company code.
When I create the same order with a planning plant and a different plant for component reservation and both plants belong to different company codes and determine the costs, the system doesnu2019t take the Costing variant into account. The costs are determined based on the price control assigned to the material type and not based the valuation strategy. In this case always the moving average price is taken.
Can anyone help me with this issue?
Thanks in advance

Hi
In OIOF you can specify the valuation variant for plant and order type, system determines the same . for your second case kindly check in the order which valuation variant system has determined.
