Default BOM in costing

Dear Sir or Madam,
We have repetitive manufacturing set up and the costing is always based production BOM. Now we are planning to switch over to costing BOM. Even though the priorities are set up in costing configuration to selection costing BOM the system by default selects production BOM. I made the changes in product costing quantity structure, BOM selection, BOM usage.
Is there anything else I have to do from the logistics side.
Thanks
Joseph

Hi,
BOM Usage
This key defines the area (such as engineering/design, production or costing) where a BOM can be used.
Use
Data is entered and edited according to organizational area.
The BOM can be displayed for a specific usage.
Procedure
Enter the usage for which you want to enter or edit the BOM.
For costing BOM, use usage as 6.
This BOM will be used by costing department only and will not participate in Production activities like in Planned orders or Production orders.

PP: Default BOM base quantity by user ID

Hi Experts,
We want to default BOM base quantity by user ID when they create new BOM by CS01.
We set a new parameter ID for BOM base quantity similar as SAP standard parameter ID for BOM usage, and assigned new parameter ID to BOM base quantity data element BASMN.
User could change their own data from the default parameter ID tab to fill the default BOM Base quantity.
However, it is still required to add the parameter ID into the programs which is created BOM to achieve the final result.
Anyone has the same requirement? Please suggest.
Thanks.

Hi Qiuyan,
header quantity is defaulted reading TCS03, if it's always the same you can change it in view V_TCS03_V. Otherwise I suggest an enhancement IN LCSDIFHX FORM TCS03_LESEN.

Goods Receipt of BOM material- cost centre required for components

I have created a subcontracting PO with a BOM material.
When trying to post a Goods Receipt the components of the BOM material are required to have a cost centre assigned to them.
The profit centre for the BOM material and components are the same. The BOM material does not require a cost centre to be entered in the Goods Receipt as the Profit Centre is allocated to account assignment tab.
Why does the profit centre assigned to the components not default in the account assignment, why is the system asking for a cost centre?

I receive this error when trying to post the material document:Field Cost Ctr is a required field for G/L account 1000 7023000200
Message no. F5808
Diagnosis
The value for field "Cost Ctr" in the interface to Financial Accounting is an initial value but you are required to make an entry in the field selection for G/L account "7023000200" in company code "1000" linked to the field selection for posting key "81".
System Response
Error
Procedure
It might be an error in the configuration of the G/L account field selection. The initial application, used to call up the interface must otherwise define a value for field "Cost Ctr". If this is the case, contact the consultant responsible for the application used to call up the interface or get in contact with SAP directly.

Default GL account (cost element) for external service contracts

Hi everybody,
question about GL being defaulted from contract for external services
The requirement is to have GL (cost element) being defined per service sub item defaulting to work order. Account assignment is unknown, because the costs might be settled later to cost center or AFE or else.
You could default cost element either through material group (which doesn't enable cost element to contract) or with account assignment category 'K' or 'F' which do not suit, cause the former requires cost center, that is unknown yet, whereas the latter requires assignment to order which doesn't make sense at all. Theoretically, it could be done with acc assignment cat 'U' , but cost element is not enabled with that category..
I was assuming that cost center which you are required to enter along with cost element while creating service sub item referring to some sort of internal accounting. The system also requires service sub item acc assignment category being aligned with requisition (which is 'F') and would in fact create PR referrencing actual work order number. But still, doesn't it make sense having contract referencing another order.. Also, we don't use default values for PM ext operation data.
So, the question is how to accomplish the requirement with Unknown assignment category? what is the point of defining cost center in the contract in given circumstances? Is there any work around exists?
Thanks in advance
Sergey

Hi,
Try this: IMG -> Plant Maintenance and Customer Service -> Maintenance and Service Processing -> Maintenance and Service Orders -> Functions and Settings for Order Types -> Create Default Value Profiles for External Procurement.
After that assign it to order type: Default Values for Task List Data and Profile Assignments.

Depreciation defaulted to one Cost Centre (OKB9)

Good day SAP Experts
One of our companies' depreciation depreciation was defaulted to post one cost centre (Admin). This was set on OKB9, specifying company code, cost element (211110) and the cost centre.
This worked, but now we had to change that each individual cost centre must collect its depreciation expense. We tried to take this entry out of OKB9, when executing the depreciation run an error is experienced saying that a CO assignment is needed for this account. Cost centres are maintained on all assets.
We double checked the GL and cost element, as we are having several companies on the same chart of accounts but different controlling area. Their characteristics in all companies are the same.
Can you please help as to what the problem may be? We also tried to enter all possible Profit Centre and their equivalent cost centres in OKB9, but still get the same error.
Regards
Theo

Dear,
Theo
Unless depreciation account is cost element , posting on cost center will not take place. In your case it is correct.
Going next you assign cost center in asset master and system will post depreciation on that cost center
as your said requirement each cost center assigned in asset master will collect respective value.
Your defiition of depreciation posting to cost center must be set in T.code ACSET and the same must be activated as well.
OKB9 is your default cost element account assignment in terms of Cost center, profit center, Business Area.
Hope this helps you to clarify questioned. If you have any doubts feel free to share.

Hi
Create an LSMW for CK11N and enter the Prod version of your choice in CK11N.. No need to create a BDC...
Ideally, you should create a Proc Alt in CK91N with each Prod Version and Mix ratio in CK94 for such cases.... If you want to release cost with only one version and want the cost of other versions only for name sake, you can maintain the Mix Ration in CK94 as 100 0 0 0 i.e. 100 for One Prod version and 0 for the rest

Make Default Settings for cost element -OKB2

Hi,
What is the importance of the this process?
Please give your views, I have read the information provided by SAP.
Regards,
Pankaj

Hi
This process is for creating Cost Elements.
We can create Cost Elements in FS00 by selecting Edit Cost Element and giving Validity Period and Cost Element category.
We can create Cost Elements in KA01 also.
In the above 2 processes we can create a single Cost Element only at a time.
If you want to create more number of Cost Elements at a time, then you need to do the Process of Automatic Creation of Cost Elements, Make Default Settings -->OKB2 , Create Batch Input Session -->OKB3 and Execute Batch Input Session -->SM35.

Cost of BOM

Hi
How can I easily calculate the cost of a BOM?
I create a BOM with several items. I now want to know what the cost of all the items of the BOM, the cost of the product is. All items used are in stock and have an item cost (average) in master data.
Thanks
Franz

Hi Franz,
If you are using Standard Cost as default inventory valuation method, your itemcost price list will be grayed out because it is based on system calculation. Item Cost will become a variable so that you may find BOM could be affected by all different kinds of inventory transactions. If you need a clear picture of the cost for BOM, you may need to define all component items' default price list not to be itemcost.
Thanks,
Gordon

Production consumption variance w.r.t. Costing BOM

Dear Sir / Madam,
Our client is using BOM usage 1 as well as BOM usage 6 i.e., Production BOM and Costing BOM.
Consumption of Raw materials and MRP happens based on the BOM usage 1.
Costing of FG happens using BOM usage 6.
Users want to have a variance report between the actual raw materials consumed v/s the BOM components in the Costing BOM in value as well as quantity basis.
If the costing BOM says 100 components and the production consumption happens for 110 components then the difference must be highlighted to them in the variance report.
We have ML activated. Kindly help.

Hi
1. Create one more costing variant and valuation variant...
The Qty Structure Control in this Costing Variant should refer to Costing BOM
Also, assign this costing variant to Version 1...
2. Run Cost estimate using this Costing Variant and save it in Planned Price 2 or 3 field
3. Create Version 0 and Version 1 for target cost calculation (IMG > CO > Prod Csting > Cost Obj Contr > Prod cost by order > Variance calculation)
Version 0 will be based on Costing variant which releases Std Cost
Version 1 will be based on Valuation variant which releases the cost to Planned Price Field

Default Cost center in Foreign Exchange fluctuation account

Hi
I am doing FB60 of 100$ (1$ = Rs.45). Cost center used at the time of FB60 is 1100 (i,e, engineering division) Now i am paying in full and clearing the same invoice. Exchange rate at the time of Payment is 1$ = Rs.47.
Now the SAP is picking the cost center given in FB60 i.e. 1100 instead of cost center (i.e. 7500 - finance) defined by default in the cost element. Let me know why the system is picking cost center from FB60.

HI,
Is this issue solved? If not try this thing. Remove the cost center assignment in the cost element, as you are assigning the profit center in OKB9. For a cost element if it is a revenue item profit center should be assigned, if it is a cost item cost center should be assigned.
In your case, cost center is assigned in cost element and also profit center is assigned in OKB9.
For one cost element we can not assign both cost center and profit center.
Hope this should help you
Thanks and Regards

Hi jerry,
By default, all trip cost is charged to employee's cost centre ( even if you have not been mentioned any cost centre) otherwise as per calculation guidelines.

if you want to strict that trip shall be charged only employee cost center, then you have to change following.
Cost assignment specification: Complete Trip RP_TRAVEL_COBL_1700
Following is the more help available for your information.
I hope it would serve your purpose..

Set Up Variable Layout for Account Assignment Objects
The travel expenses accounting dialog contains the option to record cost assignment specifications for the complete trip, additional destinations (stopovers), receipts and the kilometer/miles distribution.
The user is provided with two options for this purpose: The entry area Alternative Cost Assignment to Master Cost Center in the travel expenses dialog, or the Enhanced Cost Assignment function.
Travel Management offers five different coding blocks that you can use to control the cost assignments within Travel Expenses accounting.
In this IMG activity you define the screen layout for the account assignment objects - the selection and order of these objects. In addition you can specify the field characteristics for each of the account assignment objects.
You can make these settings in relation to a specific user or the organizational assignment of the employee.
To do this, copy the return value from the feature TRVCO as a variable key into the key of the fields with which you want to set up the coding block.
Note
The feature TRVCO is only evaluated during screen layout of a coding block if it is assigned to the corresponding function module in the view Screen modification for assignment data. This view can be accessed using the entry Check assignment of feature TRVCO to coding blocks in the selection screen for the IMG activity Set up variable layout for account assignment object
In the standard version feature TRVCO is assigned to function modules. You should not change the following assignments:
Coding Block for Function Module
Cost assignment specification: Complete Trip RP_TRAVEL_COBL_1700
Cost assignment specification: Receipts RP_TRAVEL_COBL_1701
Cost assignment specification: Destinations RP_TRAVEL_COBL_1702
Cost assignment specification: Miles/KMs Distrib. RP_TRAVEL_COBL_17
Activities
1. Check the assignment of feature TRVCO to the function modules for the coding blocks using the appropriate action in this activity.
2. You can create new entries as follows:
a) Choose the action Account assignment object: Cost assignment specification: <appropriate entry area> in this IMG activity.
b) In the variable key field, enter the required return value from the feature TRVCO.
c) Enter the name of the field needed in the Variable name field.
d) Specify the field attributes for the field.

Apart from OKB9 settings where else we can design for default cost and profit centers.
thanks

Hi,
For cost centres you can set the default directly in cost element master data (KA02). Regarding profit centre, you can use 3KEH transaction.

Hi
There is no direct link between Movement type and Cost element G/L account. It is not advisable to change the standard movement type 261 for BOM components for GI in OPKA.
The possible way to have a new G/L account in BOM cost element field as per u r requirement is to create new valuation class and assign it to Material master of u r Non stock material in Accounting view
Steps
1) Create a new valuation class say ZVCL in OMSK and complete all relevant settings
2) Now in OBYC > GBB > for VBR >for New Valuation class ZVCL > Assign G/L AC no say xxxxxx in Debit and Credit columns
3) Then Assign this valuation class in Material Master.
4) Now chk the G/L account in BOM as u mentioned and observe it as xxxxxx
