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 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • Change of Costing Sheet Assignment

    Dear Experts,
    We have assigned costing sheet to valuation variant and valuation variant is assigned to costing variant.
    This costing variant is assigned to order type for production orders. Now we have created new costing sheet and assigned to valuation variant, but at the time of creation of production order system is showing old costing sheet. Is there any another configuration whrere costing sheet is made default to valuation variant.
    regards,
    shashi

    Hi Shashi,
    There is specific config. step you are missing.Is it behaviour with single order or for all order in that plant? and are you sure new config has been transported to specified client.
    Plz. do confirm.

  • 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

  • Benefits Cost Variant

    Hi gurus,
    I need to configure a Benefit Cost Variant base on the age of mother or father's employee, but i only can assign employee himself, spouse and domestic partner (subtypes 13, 14).
    What can i do? since I created mother and father as new subtypes for infotype 21.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks a lot.
    Daniel

    Hi Daniel,
    Further to what Donnie has advised,
    Not sure, but this is what i can think of....
    1. Please check the Node "Define Cost Groupings" under the Define Employee Groupings Node.
    2. Maintain a Cost Grouping as "FAMA" and also the feature CSTV1.
    3. For the Plans; .......
    ............Health Plan ...While maintaining the node "Define Cost Variants"..Maintain a Cost Rule Variant as ESDP (Employee + Spouse + Domestic Partner)....and for the same maintain the Parameter Grouping with the created Cost Grouping "FAMA" and check the cost Grouping box.
    4. Maintain the cost rules & Assign health plan Attributes nodes.
    (Same logic can be applied to Insurance Plan, Misc. Plans)
    Hope this works !!!!!
    Good Luck !!!!!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

    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,

    Hi,
    Every cost estimate we create is based on the costing variant.
    In the costing variant we define the control parameters and settings for costing
      Settings contains info such as prices that will be used to cost the materials and activities
    Control parameters are used for the automatic determination of of qty str ie Bom and Routing
    Every costing variant contains a valuation variant and a costing type , date control , qty str control.
    Valuation variant:
    Valuation variant defines the price with which the material and activities are valuated
    determines 1.which price is taken from material masterrecord to calculate the material cost
    2.
    which price is taken from cost center accounting to calculate the costs for internal activities
    3. which price is taken from purchasing info rec to calculate the the costs for ext activities / subcontracting
    4. which costing sheet is used to calculate the over head costs
    Costing type:
    costing type defines the valuation view to be costed and defines the purpose of costing.
    Date control :
           controls the validity of the cost estimste , qty str date.
    Valuation class:
    For material costing the valuation class controls the cost element to which the planned cost of the material are assigned and the cost element under which the actual costs are updated when the material produced is delivered to stock
    Valuation category:
      specified the criteria according to which partial stocks are distinguished from one another
    Price control indicator:
      the price control indicator specifies whether the stock of the material is valuated with standard price or moving avg price
      costing sheet:
                The costing sheet links all the functions for overhead calculation.
        In the costing sheet we determine the following
        1.The direct costs to which the over head is applied
        2.The condition under which the over head is applied
        3.Whether the over head is applied as a percentage basis or on a qty basis
        4.The amt of overhead percentage
        5.The validity period of the over head
        6.Which object is credited ( order , cost center) and which cost element in the case of actual posting
       We enter  the costing sheet in the valuation variant in customising
