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.

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.

  • Preli cost compo struc of production orders to sales orders -Non valuated

    Hi experts
    We use Non valuated sales order cost/settlement and assembly order processing. So production order is created from sales order and prel cost estimate is created in the production order. Now we notice that the cost component struc in production order is not copied into sales order. Only the EK02 is copied with total cost.
    How to bring cost compo struc from production order to sales order ?
    This may be a special cost estimate with costing and Is it possible to bring cost compo struc to copa record type A or F.
    I know standard cost compo mapping in copa but I could not see the costing variant used in production order in copa master data configuration.
    regards
    KT

    If the sales order is not a cost object, you cannot cost in it, and you can therefor also not see the cost component split.
    When you sell the material, you can pull through the cost component to PA, via the material master using the COPA valuation strategy. However, only the info for the material in the sales doc line item.
    You don't link to a costing variant, you link using the above valuation strategy and the costing key. The costing variant sits inside the costing key.

  • Overhead cost not coming in production order

    Hello Friends,
      I have assigned overhead group to material master in costing 1 view.Overhead group is assigned to Overhead key and valuation area of mine (plant).Even i have defined overhead rates i.e, percentage overhead for my company code.Then i calculated the overhead using KGI2.It shows no error in log and shows 1 overhead calculated.But when i go inside the production order, it doesn't show the overhead cost in actual cost, why?
       Am i wrong in calculating the overhead cost?
       Please guide.
       Thanking you.

    Hi,
    Your overhead rate has to be assigned to your costing sheet.
    Follow the steps below...
    1) For your order type check the OTDP (OPL8 t code)
    Check your applicable costing variant in "cost accounting tab)
    2) In OPL1 t code check the valuation variants (planned and actual) for your costing variant
    3) In Okk4 check the costing sheets assigned to your valuation varaint.
    4) now check if the overhead key is assigned to your costing sheet in IMG--> controlling
    >Product cost controlling>Cost Object Controlling-->Product Cost by Order
    >Overhead>Define Costing Sheets. If it is not assigned, then assign it
    5) Also check if your overhead key is assigned to your overhead rate. Follow the same path as above. under 'Define Costing Sheets' Costing Sheet: Components-->Define Percentage Overhead Rates.
    Now check your scenario again.
    Hope this helps.

  • Cost Center field in Production Order CO01 and PO tables

    Hi SAP Consultants,
    Is there any Cost Center field in Production Order transaction CO01 ?
    What are the tables where Production order data is stored/saved ?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Need to understand your purpose first. Let's not make it any more technical than it should be, talking in terms of fields and layouts.
    All the replies given before mine are referring to the operational costs - which are what are passed on "for performing each operation" of the production order. These are the costs coming to the production order from the work center where the operation is performed. At the end of several operations, the production order would have collected all these costs of different operations, and also those of the materials used in the process. There may be other (overhead, etc) costs coming on to the production order too.
    If you're looking for one "cost center" for the entire production order, what cost center is this? Is it the department to which you want to settle the production costs? This is possible, that all the costs accumulated in the production order over the course of its life are finally "settled" to a different cost object, which can be an inventory account, or a sales order, an internal order, or a cost center etc. (There are exceptions, where a production order need not be settled but lets leave this to save us some complexity).
    What exactly are you looking for? What is the business purpose you are trying to achieve? Or is it just a purely technical reason to write a report or something? Even then we need to know the purpose and objective of the report/enhancement before being able to answer your question.

  • Rework cost not capturing in production order

    Hi Experts,
    I'm not getting rework order cost in the main production order while settlement of the production order. I maintained settlement rule in the rework order as ORD (Main production order number).
    Please help me.
    Naren

    Hi
    If settlement is done properly i.e. w/o test run indicator and the rework order has values posted to it - Then KO88 or CO88 must be successful. If not, system would tell you the error #

  • Material costs not captured in production order

    Hi all,
                After clicking 'Cost order' (Ctrl+F7) in production order header screen, if i am checking the cost component structure(Goto->Costs->Cost comp. structure) of production order, only the operation costs are captured. The materials costs are not captured here. Please suggest me in this issue.
    Regards,
    Krishna Chandra.

    Hi everybody..thanx for the replies..i want to clear the following things to u,
    1. Costing variance key is PPC1 for planned and PPC2 for actual.
    2. I have maintained the prices in the material master - MAP for child items & Std for the header item.
    3. This is happening for all the production orders
    4. I have kept the costing relevancy for all the materials in the BOM.
    Apart from these please give me the possible inputs to solve the problem.

  • 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 ?

  • 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.

  • IMR7 : Creation of a new Screen Variant does not save Layout

    Hello,
    In IMR7, if I create a new screen Variant with a modified the default Layout field, the next time I log-in to SAP, system does not recognize my Layout selection.
    Do you have a suggestion?
    Thanks
    François

    Hello,
    Thanks for your support but it did not resolved my problem.
    When I save Layout I  have three fields:
    -Layout name
    -User-specific checkbox
    -Description
    Even though User-specific is not checked, next time I relog to SAP and choose my Variant, the layout I have chosen in this variant is not keeped in memory. A layout named 4_SAP_IM is always displayed.
    Do you have the same behavior?
    Thanks

  • Additive cost not seen in production order and while settling hits PRD

    I am using additive costs for my product costing via CK74n.
    Cost estimate looks good since I have the valuation variants setup to include additive costs.
    But when I see the production order that is being created, all others costs are being considered except additive costs. They are recognized but not as a line item instead as a variance. When I settle the order the costs actually hit price difference account and not even the GL account that I had assigned for the additive cost. SAP did not consider the cost as variance even if it was showing up as variance initially. This as I understood is partly because of the settlement rule that I have in place which tells SAP to go and settle on the material (which is standard SAP to do since I want all the costs from the production order to settle on the eventual material going into stock) so SAP went on to settling on the material. Since the material is set as standard price the variance is being booked as a price difference entry.
    Ideally I would have expected the additive cost getting debited to the order and credited to the gl account that I assigned for the additive cost. The eventual cost (incl. additive cost) should hit the inventory.
    Am I missing a step?

    Hi Sapluver,
    Appreciate your prompt response..Please see my response in italics
    Few queries related to your post.
    1. So your standard cost got two part, one with quantity structure ( materials, labor, OSC etc) which the system cost automatically and one manual part, which is your additive cost. While costing system picks up this manual part from CK74N.
    I hope this part you got correct. Yes, the cost estimate is reading from both the qty structure and the additive costs and the cost roll-up is coming up correctly
    2. Now in actual cost controlling, i think System is not sure how to valuate your additive cost actual part.I agree, the additive cost does appear in the cost analysis section of the production order but does not show up as a line item initially. Instead it comes up as a difference item right in the bottom of the screen after totals have been displayed without any line item reference. As if the system is not sure how to display the line item. Once I have done the material issuance confirmation to the order, the additive cost got picked up correctly as I have set it up in the cost component structure as material overhead but again shows up only as variance
    Which method you used to debit your production order with additive cost, is it a normal journal entry or through some automatic posting through routing ( example OSC through Purchase order/Good Receipt).I probably need to understand your point more clearly? I am not manually debiting the production order at all for the additive cost. I was expecting SAP to debit the order the same way it does for overheads. Overheads too initially show up as variance but then when we run the overhead calculation KGI2 the overheads costs get debited to the production order. Was expecting similar behavior for additive costs. I am receiving the finished product from the production order into stock via MIGO goods receipt movement type 101. I was expecting the debit to happen perhaps at the time of settlement via CO88 but here the system posted it to the price difference account via account key PRD. This I understand the system did because the settlement rule is set to post all the costs on the material and the material has the valuation control as standard price; so the system is seeing the additive cost as a price difference hence posting it to the price difference account.
    System is unaware of the additive cost from actual cost point of view, there is no specification to additive cost from costing variant for actual cost. So you have to debit the order with the additive cost part.So do I manually debit the order with the additive cost? What about the price difference additive cost sitting on the order? Would appreciate if you can tell me the process steps for posting this correctly

  • Target Cost was zero in production order

    Hello,
    We are experiencing every 1st day of the month target cost was zero for those production order which basic start date was on the 1st day of the month, this happen last march and this april it also happening but in january and february we did not experienced this issue. we wonder how this happening to us, since as we check those production order which basic start date was on the 2nd date and prior all has values in its target cost, this is for same finished material. How was this happening to our plant? how can we check and resolve this issue? am on a PP guy, as i have check the data of those order nothing peculiar for me, and it those material has cost estimate ok, this was released on the 01.01.2009 in this costing run will last untill of the year this was also been seen in the material master data current cost estimate.
    As we have search for the performance assistant in SAP it thus tells us:
    Total Target Costs
    Total value of the target costs.
    Calculated with the following formula:
    Total target costs = Target cost debit + Target cost credit.
    Use
    Target costs are the planned costs adjusted to the actual operating rate.
    The target debit on a manufacturing order is the sum of the activity-independent planned debit of the order and the activity-dependent planned debit of the order multiplied by the actual quantity of the order.
    The target credit of a manufacturing order results from the goods receipt postings to stock. The delivered actual quantity is valuated with the planned price according to the price control.
    The total value of the target costs is the sum of the target debit and the target credit.
    The target costs are calculated during variance calculation and updated to the database.
    The target costs cannot be shown until you have performed variance calculation for this target cost version. The target credit for the calculation of the total variances and production variances cannot be calculated until an actual quantity for an order exists after a goods receipt posting.
    For the calculation of variances, the target costs are compared with the control costs.
    Dependencies
    The calculation of target costs depends on the selected target cost version.
    But still we don't know how to check the issue and fixed it:
    Please help us and guide us to resolve this issue
    Thanks

    Hi,
    in some more details i have found out on our issue, one of the prerequisite for our variant calculation is Variance calculation at the manufacturing order level requires that the order is fully delivered (final confirmation is done) and technically completed ( except order pass through the mid night of period end ). Those informations can be displayed in the manufacturing order status.
    order should be TECO right? but as said on this order pass through the mid night of period end can be have variance calculation, thus am right? this could be affect why the target cost was zero?
    Thanks

  • Target Costs not Displaying in Production Order Cost Analysis

    Hi Guys,
    I am not able to see the target costs in a production order. It is showing the actual costs properly. I don't know how to validate the numbers and where am I missing. Please help.
    Thanks and Regards
    Madhu Vutukuri

    Target costs are populated when you do the goods receipt. System will search for the released standard cost estimate and then apply that for each material component. If these 2 conditions are passed, then you will get target cost in order,
    You need to define the following,
    1. Variance Key - Transaction "OKV1"
    2. Assign that to Plant using "OKVW"
    3. Define Variance Variant using "OKVG"
    4. Define Valuation variant for WIP/Scrap calculation using "SPRO"
    5. Define target cost version by assiging sl no 3 & 4 and also how the cost calculation should be used.
    Once this activities are completed, execute production/process order and then after goods movement and some confirmations process Variance using "KKS2" as a period end activities.

  • Material Cost Not Shown in Production Order if planned with MD50

    Hi,
    We have run MRP MD50 for a sale order item ie FERT material which has BOM Items. All the stock of the BOM items is tranfered from Unrestricted Stock to Sales order stock. FERT ITEM planned order is converted to Production Order and all the BOM items sales order stock is issued against PO & Sales order no with Movement Type 261E.
    After confirmation and goods receipt stock of FERT is shown under sales order Stock of Fert Material.
    We can see the cost of operations but cost of materials consumed against the Production order is not displayed in Production order Cost analysis..How material cost can be displayed????
    If i create PO with out refering the sale order that is normal process i can see the cost of materials triggering in Production Order.
    Can we settle the varience when we are planning against sale order???
    Some one Pl help us.
    John

    Dear,
    Check your variant which showes the cost. See the following report

  • Selection indicator for costing line items in production order

    Dear all,
    Do anyone know how to change field "AFVGD-SELKZ" of operation inside producion order? Any user-exit or standard program?
    As content of field "AFVGD-SELKZ" is carried from routing. But is it possible to change in production order level?
    Please kindly adivce.
    Cheers,
    Karen

    Karen,
    Let me give some more additional inputs, for an operation to become relevant for costing there are 2 options.
    1. As Ramanujam suggested - Control Key.
    2. In the Routing operation details you have a field to mark an <b>operation costing relevant this field takes priority over control key in defining the costing</b>. This field can be found in the operation details - General Data section of routing.
    <b>Some tricks,</b>
    What i mean here is a control key may not be relevant for costing, but still if this field is marked as costing relevant or percentage costs then this is the priority.
    if this field is marked not relevant for costing  and if the operation has a control key relevant for costing then in this case control key takes priority.
    In short what i meant is that you need to consider both "Control key" as well as the operation costing relevancy defination field.
    Hope this helps your understanding in resolving your problem....Reward your points if so,
    Regards,
    Prasobh

  • Target cost and actual cost not picking in production order

    Hello,
    The target cost and actual cost is not updating in production order when I display it in CO03 in cost analysis.
    Even though we have maintained planned price in KP26.
    Please suggest how it can be populated.
    Best Regards,
    Tapan

    Hi Tapan
    For Target cost
    1. Your std cost must be released before Goods Receipt
    2. There must be goods receipt posted on the prod order
    3. You must calculate variances in KKS1/2
    For Actual Cost
    1. Post Goods receipt and Goods issues
    2. See if any mat movements are pending in COGI
    3. Ensure that operation is confirmed in PP and no entry is lying in COFC
