Costing varients in process order

Dear Gurus
Can u tell where we r assigning costing varients in process order cofiguration side (Planned & Actual)
Thanks & Regards

You have to assign these costing variants in COR4 transaction in controlling tab for process orders.

Target cost calculation in Process Order based on Variance Calculation

Hi all,
I have a question on Target cost calculation in Process Order. My understanding is, the Target Costs gets calculated when the confirmation and GR is made for the Process Order.
But if the confirmation/GR is not done, whether the target costs gets calculated for only the activity types after the Variance Calculation (KKS2).
I have two scenarios. In one, the target costs got calculated for the activity types without the confirmation/GR after the Variance calculation.
In another scenario, the target costs are not getting calculated for the activity types without the confirmation/GR if I try to do the variance calculation in KKS2.
SO i want to know which scenario is correct?
Can anyone answer this question?
Thanks and Regards,
Brijesh

Hi,
In general, the target costs are calculated once you deliver the order.
Target costs for the components and the activities are updated only once you deliver the order and the target cost for the finished product gets updated when you do the variance calculation.
Consider your scenario number 1 - you said the target costs got calculated for activity types without confirmation / GR after variance calculation.
Now, if the order is not having any status like PDLV, DLV or TECO it will not calculate the variances in the first place.
Your second scenario is correct - without GR the system does not calculate any target costs. Also it will not calculate any variances because the order status is still not DLV.

PLANNED AND ACTUAL COST IN A PROCESS ORDER

From where the planned cost of material and activity types in cost itemizationafter creation flow ?From where the actual cost of a material and activity types in cost analysis of process order after confirmation flow?

You may be knowing you give Costing Variants ( Both actual as well as Planned ) in Order type. These Costing variants contains Valuation variants which says which costs are to be taken while creation ( for Planned Cost ) and Actual cost ( while confirming and Moving Goods) to be calculate. These Variants decides mode of Cost Flows.
Now, Data in Planned costs are Standard Cost figures or Current prices for material or Planned Prices of Activities.
As far as Actual costs are considered it may be the price for the consumed quantity @ the moving average price of the day or activity price for the qty. consumed which include up planned consumption too.....

Actual Cost Calculation in Process Order

Hi All,
I updated Standard cost of a raw material through a cost estimate and also ran cost estimate of the FIN that is using this raw material but when I am creating a Process order, it is taking the cost of this particular raw material from the previous estimate not the recent one to calculate the target cost. Can any body help me with this.
Thanks

Hi Ashok,
My Valuation variants for the Costing Variant of Cost Estimate and Production order (Actual/Plan) cost calculation are in Sync to get the prices according to the price indicator in material master. But when it calculates cost for a production order, it is picking up cost from the previous period for that particular raw material. I have updated the standard cost by running the cost estimate but still its not working.
Any lead on this. This will be really appreciated.
Thanks

Costing issue in process order

Hi everybody,
We are facing a problem now like... for a FG material we have changed the BOM, updated recipe but costing release was not done before that a process order had been created, material release carried out, process order confirmation made, GR made and the stock is there in FG location, In the cost analysis it shown Rs. 1.14 lakh as variance in FG consumption G/L.
Now we reversed the stock from FG location, canceled the confirmation and changed the order qty to 1nos, to make the order dummy, but still cost analysis shows Rs. 1.14 lakh variance in FG consumption G/L
Help us to resolve this.

Hi,
Now for the finished good create material cost estimate with quantity structure
Create standard cost estimate (marking and release to be carried out)
now for the same old process order in the cost analysis u can see different value for total target cost
carry out confirmation and u will get the total actual costs based on the activity types u have assigned
-Variance=(difference between total target cost and total actual cost)
Variance related settings are done in consultation with Controlling people.

COST ANALYSIS in Process order

Please help me,
This is the doubt regarding Process order COST ANALYSIS,
After creating Process order and going to cost analysis, it is showing cost of a material( for eg, coal) credit., But this material s not included in BOM , niether co product /by product scenario.
So my doubt is from wher it is taking this material.
Thanks and Regards

Cost balance against process order.

Hi Guru,
1)I have one error in process order , in that user has reverse order, all material movements has correctly reversed.
But there is still cost balance in that particular order which is due to price difference. How can I post this difference ?
2)Again in certain process order which is cancelled(cors). by mistake, user has reversed settlement through ko88 , due to this order having cost balance.
When I going to do ko88, system gives message u201C there is no accured amount,settlment is not possibleu201D. How can remove this cost balance?
you reply is valuable.
Regards
Sanjay.

Hi,
But there is still cost balance in that particular order which is due to price difference. How can I post this difference ?
Error : Balance of order xxxxxx is not zero
issue is due to Goods movements were posted even after the variance was posted , thus balance is not ZERO.here goodsmovents should be reversed & should run the varinace calculation again.To run the vaiance calcualtion (KKS2), order should have the status of DLV or TECO.
When I going to do ko88, system gives message u201C there is no accured amount,settlment is not possibleu201D. How can remove this cost balance?
You can NOT settle the order unless order have the status DLV or TECO.
You can remove the cost balace by running the variance calcualtion( KKS2)

Tabale for Actual cost value for Process orders

Hi Friends
From which table can we retrive the actual values relates to process orderwise, like actual material consumption cost, activites cost, overhead cost and other costs.

Hi
You would find the actual for process orders in Table COEP with Object Number = OP*. Also Check if you would require COSS, COSP for Controlling Tables and to get the Object numbers you need to used AFPO with Order type of Process order PI01...

Actual cost for the Process Orders

Hi Experts,
I want to know the actual cost for total one month process orders.
I can check actual cost for each order in COR2- by entering in to cost analysis.
But, my request is, where to check actual cost for One perticular product for the total month (ex: 100 Orders) or certain period.
can eny body give solution by sparing your precious time.

Hi,
Try MCRI / MCRY or check the table entries of S027

Target cost zero in process orders

Target cost is zero in process orders...
I did investigation on the forum and folks have suggested could be standard cost is not released at the time of process order release...
I need help in setting that configuration...
regards

Check if you have released Std cost estimate. If No release it if Yes then check if the process order material is having any GR Qty. Becuase Target costs are planned costs for actual production.

Cost center to Process order

hi
I have consumed some raw material on cost center. I want to allocate the said amount on process orders.
Is there any solution.
regards

Thanks Ashok
You are right.
Actually some material that will be always posted on cost center and at month end we want to post on Process orders not in MM.

Re: Target Quantity in Cost Analysis for process Order

Hi ,
How is the target quantity is being calculated in Process order.
Two of BOM components total target qty, is different from the plan quanity.

GR Cost not updating as Target Cost for process orders

Dear SAPians,
We are facing an issue in Target Vs Actual cost reporting for process orders. We are creating a process order after cost estimate of that material and doing the confirmations for activity cost. After that, GR has been done for the finished goods of that process order. That GR entry is updating the Actuals values but not updating the Target cost. When I am checking the standard report KKBC_ORD, I am getting the following figures.
Cost Elemnt Text     |     Target Cost     |     Actual Cost     |     Target Vs Act
Inventory Chnge FG     |     0     |     1,472,205.60-     |     1,472,205.60-
Packing Matrl Cons.     |     1,148,142.37     |     1,252,752.68     |     104,610.31
Raw Material Cons.     |     60,463.91     |     50,688.29     |     224.38
Semi-Fin Matrl Cns.     |     181,934.68     |     367,959.56     |     186,024.88
Labour Cost Activity     |     39,735.36     |     39,862.80     |     127.44
Machine Cst Activty     |     41,611.75     |     43,153.01     |     1,541.26
That 'Inventory Change FG' entry is showing the GR posting updating actuals and not target cost. This is causing huge difference in target vs actual cost that will affect the profit and loss figures ultimately.
What am I missing here? What should I do to update the GR amount in Target cost as well.

Dear,
Target Cost on Production Order or Process Order is shown only when Variance is Calculated.
So please calculate the Variance, system will show the Total Target Cost.

Target Vs Acual Cost Comparison for multiple process orders

Dear SAPians,
I want to take a report for target vs actual cost for all process orders and product cost collectors created in a particular period. I have checked the standard report KKBC_ORD that serve my purpose but for a single order. I want the same report for multiple process orders and product cost collectors.
Is there any standard report or should I create a report painter report. I have tried to create a report painter report based on library 7KO, but target cost was not showing for selected order.
Kindly suggest.
Shirazi

Target Costs are available in library 601 for internal orders (and can be used for process/production orders).

Process order settlement to cost center

Hi,
We have a requirement to settle only the quantity to material and the costs to
cost center from the process orders. This is to ensure the materials are
handled as non-valuated and the COGM is computed from the goods consumption
postings.
The process orders will have both co products and by products as well.
There is also one more requirement to allow Purchase orders against the non-
valuated materials.
I am planning to propose the following :-
1) To make the materials valuated but set the standard price to zero to give
the effect of non-valuated materials and at the same time can also raise
purchase orders because otherwise non-valuated materials cannot be used to
raise Purchase orders.
2) When goods receipt happens from the process order the actual costs of the
process order will remain as it is in the process order since the standard
price of the FG is zero and only the quantity will be received into inventory.
3) When process order settlement happens the full actual costs will be settled
to a price difference account and cost center tied to the price difference
account.
Do you guys see any flaws in the above design?
