Depreciation as product cost component

Hi Gurus/Experts,
My client charges Rs.100/ton depreciation in the manufacturing plant. They want to see this tonnage based depreciation as a cost component. Can you kindly guide me how to make the configuration for the same?
Thanks in advance.

Product cost component

Hello all,
I am trying to create a report painter report which dsiplays all the cost components on the columns and materials along the rows. I have chosen structure KKBE library 7EE to accomplisg the task. However I cannot come up witht the report I want to.
I have started doubting if the table and library even provides with the capability to achieve a report of such nature.
Please advice me whether the library and structure that I am using is right? if not what is the best structure that can be used??
What kind of reports can I make using structure KKBE?
I have been suggested that ABAP report is the best option that we have. Can you please confirm that for me?
I want to know what reason should I put before the management to effectively convince them that report Painter dosen't possess the capability and that ABAP needs to be used? (If that is truely the case)
Points will be duely assigned for all helpfull answers.
Thanks,
NIK

I tried defining the report however this is the error message I get when I try and execute the report.
Can someone please advise on how to fix this probs. Above all, please explain in plain english what the message is all about.
"Report contains more than one report object"
Message no. KN089
Diagnosis
The report is for more than one report object. This causes performance problems. This is not supportedc in product costing in particular.
Can't really understand what that means?
Also can you tell me what characteristics do I need to pull to define the column for cost component lets say "Direct Depreciation". If you can tell me for 1 cost comp I can emulate the info to define the rest of the columns for diff cost comp.
thanks

Post Depreciation to product cost

I want to include depreciation costs in product costing. Is there any way to post the depreciation costs other than using activity types

Hi
Depreciation costs are primary costs. Assign these costs in product cost planning in calculation base.

Actual Cost Component Split for cross company code transfers.

Hi,
My issue is as follows.
Production process spans across 2 company codes.
Goods are produced in production company code, transferred (via stock transport order) to marketing company code and sold to customers from marketing company code.
Stock transport order follows sales scenario i.e.. marketing company code creates purchase order for goods from production company code and production company code bills marketing for the goods.
Actual costing / Material ledger is implemented in both company codes.
We would like to roll-up (transfer) actual cost component split from production company code to marketing company (in a similar way as in product cost planning in cross-company scenario).
However, due to the fact that the transfer between the companies is in fact a "sales" the goods in marketing company code are seen as externally purchased and the only cost component we can create is based on PO conditions. But we want to get the info about production cost component split.
Once again this is for ACTUAL cost component split.
I would be grateful for any ideas.
Thanks,
Szymon

Hi Udo / Szymon.
I have a question about this issue.
In the sap help about multiple valuations / group costing:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/7e/cb848443a311d189ee0000e81ddfac/content.htm
Its not clear if this can roll up the Actual CCS? or what it do? My question is because i read the documentation of bussiness function: LOG_MM_SIT,and also the book *Actual Costing with The SAP Material Ledger*
states that we can handle the rollup of actual cost component split inter-company only with this BF active.
Could you clarify about this?
thanks!!
Arturo.
Group Valuation
Goods movements between affiliated companies not involving intercompany profits are processed using the group view. This view determines the actual cost of goods manufactured for the group, and does not include any intercompany profits. You can, however, display internal profits as delta profits in the legal and/or profit center views.
When you define cost components, you can specify that internal profits between company codes and/or profit centers are shown in detail in the cost component split. You activate these delta profits for the group valuation in the attributes of the cost components.
For each cost component structure, there can only be one cost component under which the delta profit is shown. This means that neither the legal view nor the profit center view can have more than one cost component for the delta profit.
To cost multiple values, you define a costing type for each valuation approach in Customizing for Product Cost Planning. You use the costing type to specify which valuation approach you require. You define each costing type in a new costing variant and carry out a cost estimate with this costing variant.
Group Costing and Multiple Valuation Approaches
In-Depth Detail of the Value-Added Chain: Partner Cost Component Split
You can display in detail the costs of materials and services of every company department in the value-added chain for every stage of the production process. The partner can be traced for every material used. To do this, you define a partner version, which enables the value-added portions of each manufacturing level to be displayed in detail. For further information about this, see Partners and Direct Partners.
The group cost component split can be displayed according to your partner definition. You can display the cost structures of the partners hierarchically according to your requirements, such as the company code segments on the highest level and the plant or profit center segments underneath.
To display partner cost component splits, define a partner version in Customizing and enter it in the costing type.

PRODUCT COSTING ACTIVITIES AS THE PP WILL BE IMPLEMENTED IN 2ND PHASE

Solution for CO without PP module.
As planned, PP module will be implemented in the second phase. And we need to have solution to manage: finished good, production of Zee in first phase.
About production of Zee.
Zee has many subcompanies, but there are only 3 company that implemented SAP system: Zee corp, Zeetech, Zee M&E. ( Zee corp is parent company of Zeetech, Zee M&E).
There is only Zeetech that has production.
Products of Zeetech: air condition, chilled water fanu2026Zeetech have many workshops.
Zeetech do many batch each of month, and there are many kind of products in each of batch.
We used Moving price for Zee on SAP system.
We intend to use u201Cproduction orderu201D to capture all cost related to product,
Cost component of product:
+raw material
+ labor cost
+ overhead cost of workshop: other costs
+ overhead cost of batch: fuel, submaterial,
+ operation cost.
HOW SHOULD WE TAKE CARE OF PRODUCT COSTING ACTIVITIES AS THE PP WILL BE IMPLEMENTED IN SECOND PHASE ?

Dear Anita,
Yes u r right that Each consultant will be prepare AS-IS & TO-BE documents for their respective modules but these BBP's are not mixed up.
The rules of each consultant in phase 2 i e Business Blue Prints is to created bbp's or say Document which is going to configure in the SAP system along with core users.
AS - IS means what futures client's are using in the Legacy System
TO- BE mean what futures we are giving to client according to thier Legacy System
Hope u will Undersatnd.

How to add depreciation and interest in product costing?

how to add depreciation and interest in standard cost estimate and actual costing in product costing ?

Hi,
WHy the admin and sales overhead will be deited to cost of product. The cost of product should include only the factory related direct cost and overhead cost .. not the sales and admin ovehead. exp. for those treat them as period expense and pass on the same to COPa and there those can be analysed there..
I hope i am clear..

Cost component split: incorrect allocation of by-product generated

Hi everyone,
I have a question involving the costs of by-products generated and their allocation on the cost component split.
Suppose that a production order, besides the main product, also generates a secondary product. By-products in standard system are confirmed with movement type 531. In transaction OMJJ this movement is linked to key GBB / ZOF. This key is assigned to a G/L account and this account is assigned to a cost element in OKTZ.
Example:
GBB / ZOF > G/L account 1000 > Cost component 10
Thus, the by-product generated should be allocated to the cost component number 10.
However, this does not happen. These costs are allocated to another cost component. This is because SAP ERP appears to use the key GBB / VBR to calculate the cost component split.
To summarize: for accounting purposes the system uses the GBB / ZOF (which is correct!), but in the cost component structure the system seems to use the GBB / VBR (which makes the costs of by-product being incorrectly assigned).
GBB / ZOF > G/L account 1000 > Cost component 10 (used ONLY for accounting purposes).
GBB / VBR > G/L account 2000 > Cost component 20 (it seems to be used in cost component split). INCORRECT!
Can anyone confirm whether that statement proceeds?
Regards,
Kelson

Hi
This behaviour is corect.... Consumption accounts are used in Cost Comp Str (CCS)
GBB-ZOF is actualy sort of COGM accounts specified in GBB-AUF which is used to Credit the order at the time of GR from prod order
Just the way, AUF is not used in CCS, ZOF is also not used...
You need to maintain separate account in GBB-VBR for the consumption of By Products... For this, the val class of By products need to be separate
Else, if yu dont wanna do this - have a separate Origin Group in the Mat Master of By products and You can assign the Combo of GL Account + Origin Group to a separate Cost Component

Cost Component Splitting in Joint Production

Hello.
I meet a trouble in the cost component splitting for the co-product.
I tried to creat a BOM like :
                             A                       B
                              C (CCS1)           D(CCS2)
the raw material C&D are in different cost component,and the manufacturing matertials are A&B.
and I set the apportionment structure like A(CCS1 100%,CCS2 50%)   B(CCS1 0%, CCS2 50%)
Then i run the CK11N,and the result is correct.
But the problem is as following:
when I creat a BOM like :
                             A                       B
                                          E
                              C (CCS1)          D(CCS2)
the raw material C&D are in different cost component,and the semi-product matertial is E,then E is producted for finished product A&B.
and I set the apportionment structure like A(CCS1 100%,CCS2 50%)   B(CCS1 0%, CCS2 50%)
then i run the CK11N,and the result is wrong.
whatever i set the apportionment structure,the result of the CCS is A (CCS1 50%,CCS2 50%),B(CCS1 50%,CCS2 50%)
anybody can tell me how i can get the correct result?
                                                                                Roc

Negative Material cost in cost component of the Product

Hi,
We are in ECC 6.0 and using Material Ledegr and Actual Costing. We have cost component structure - Material cost, Packing cost, Overheads, etc. The total cost of the product is positive. However, at the cost component level Material cost shwoing as negative.
e.g.
Material-Cost      (-10.00)
Packing-Cost          0.00
Overheads        40.00
Total cost         30.00
It seems the negative Material cost is coming from Lower levels. I have checked this in T-code CKM3N and in Table CKMLCR/CKMLKEPH. There are no reversal of material movements.
Will you share your views on this issue for how to identify the root cause and take preventive action?
Thanks & Regards,
ADI

Hi ADI,
The note 671767 explains possible root causes of negative cost
components. They are usually caused by:
1. Negative cost components due to by-products
2. Negative cost components due to WIP problems

Product Costing: Actual Cost by Component

Hi SAP Gurus,
Products are manufactured in plant X, and have all the standard cost components (MP, DL, FOH, etc.) that one would expect of internally-manufactured skus. Traditionally, these products were shipped from Plant X to Plant Y and then to Plant Z. Once sold out of Plant Z, the actual Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) in the system likewise includes costs for MP, DL, FOH, etc.
However, last year we started also selling product directly from Plant Y. On Looking in ZCO_ACTUAL_COST(Actual Cost by Component), we see that, when sold, a given SKU is treated as a purchased finished good. That is, all of the standard costs & variances associated with the sku are aggregated into Purchased Finished Goods, a materials account. Because SAPu2019s actual cost has zero for all other line items (i.e. DL + FOH), the system generates favorable variances that eliminate these standard costs.
Please note that the issue is not standards (which appear to be fine) but actual cost allocation upon sale of the product.
Summary : The issue is that product sold out of Plant Y is incorrectly treated as a purchased finished good, instead of as an internally manufactured item.This is an issue because our materials costs are then overstated and other costs are understated
How to show the product sold from Plant Y as internally manufactured Item. (with Cost Components M+P, DL.FOH etc) like how it was showing for product sold from Plant Z?
Regards
Jaswanth

Hi Ajay,
In the material master for the material, I verified that the Price control is set as S( Std price) for both the Plant Y and Plant Z.
And the issue here is with the Actual Cost component and not the Std cost component. Can you please clarify where in MRP view for Plant Ywe need to set the indicator as transferred from Plant X.
Also I verified that the valuation class for Plant Y and Plant Z is different, ( For Plant Y it is set as Mfg Fin goods and for Plant Z it is set as Purchased Fin goods). Is the Actual cost component split has any relation with this Val class setup.
This is how the Actual Cost component looks
Mat No   Plant   Raw Mat Packaging Mats Pur Fin Goods Direct Labour FOH
   A          Z         XX              XX                     XX                         XX            XX
   A          Y           0                 0                     XX                          0                0
All the cost for Plant Y is rolled to Pur fin goods.
Kindly give your inputs

Product Costing - Standard Cost Component Split on Multi Level BOM's

Hi,
We are the process of introducing SAP for all back office and manufacturing activities.
I am currently trying to verify that the product cost calculation for Multi-Level BOMs in our Legacy system matches the cost roll up or cost estimate in SAP at not only a Total Cost Level but the cost component split must be accurate also. So far, all the costs roll up correctly at a total cost level but I have noticed one issue:
When I run a cost estimate for a single level BOM the cost estimate will split the components accurately into Material, Labor, Fixed Overhead and Variable overhead, However, when this component is then used in the next level of manufacturing all the Labor, Fixed Overhead and Variable Overhead Cost is grouped under Material.
Q1.) Is there a SAP setting or config change that will keep the previous Labor, Fixed OH and Variable OH cost in these categories as the material is rolled up to finished product level?
Q2.) Is there a standard report / view where I can see the Finished Goods Standard Cost split by each of there rolled up Components? This would need to split the Total Material, Total Labor, Total Fixed OH and Total VO required to make the Finished Product.
Q3.) Is there a standard report / view where I can see the added value (Absorption) by component split (Labor, Fixed OH, Variable OH) for every Manufactured Part?
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Brian

Hi,
Here I am providing the necessity and importance of splitting structure, will share the configuration steps once you go through the following and get the comfort level.
                  Expense Analysis and Splitting in Manufacturing Cost Centers
Introduction In SAP Cost center work as a cost responsibility center, where all the expenses and cost are stored and analyzed for the purpose of management decision making.
The cost could be fixed or variable in nature. The difference between variable and fixed costs can be made in various ways in product costing in CO module.
Fixed costs represent the static costs incurred by the organization, which doesn’t change on the basis on manufacturing activities, which remain constant irrespective of production activities like rent for the premises, salaries of office staff etc.
On the other hand, variable cost varies based on the level of production activities; if production activities increase then variable cost also increased like electricity consumes raw material charges etc.
However all the variable cost doesn’t vary in direct proportion by quantity of goods produced.
In this document will try to define; how the Expenses analysis and splitting of cost done in manufacturing cost centers.
From controlling prospective, fixed cost remain constant regardless of operating activities, but if these factor changes, variable cost will fluctuate.
Basically raw material costs represent variable cost, but in this document main focused will be given to distinguish fixed and variable activity cost.
The segregation between fixed and variable cost is optional and is derived from the configuration and master data configured in cost center accounting and overhead accounting.
Activity Price:
There are different methods that could be used in cost center accounting to determine the activity price. The simple way is the manually enter “Fixed” and “Variable” Activity cost (KP26).
However there are other methods used in Cost center Planning and Budgeting that automatically calculate the fixed and variable activity price.
Here the focused will be given on Planning and Budgeting activity and automatic calculation of plan activity rate in cost center.
This method aggregate planned costs by cost element and capacity by plan unit to calculate the activity price.
Activity independent costs are segregated among different activities based on Splitting Structure, while activity dependent cost directly used for the purpose of variable activity rate calculation.
Fixed Activity Cost:
In product costing all those cost, which doesn’t vary based on the activities in manufacturing cost will represent fixed cost.
In a manufacturing cost centers there may be two or more activities performed.
To calculate the activities rate, the fixed costs are distributed to various activities on the basis of Splitting Structure defined for cost center.
Variable Activity Cost:
Variable activity cost, which directly depend upon the activity type and fluctuate based on increase or decrease in manufacturing activities. In SAP variable activity cost are directly linked to the respective activity.
Activity Prices: Fixed and Variable Split
In Cost Center Accounting dividing the cost between Fixed and Variable requires appropriate split to be made in the cost entered for the activity. The process is described below:
i. Variable cost would be planned at activity level and expenses should be maintained at cost element in the manufacturing cost center by assigning activity and cost element combination.
In other word, the expenses should be planned on Activity type at the time of primary cost planning (KP06).
Then the variable activity rates are calculated on Total cost planned at Activity divided by Total number of activity planned at that cost center (i.e. capacity in KP26)
ii. Fixed cost would be planned at independent of activity type. These costs are maintained in KP06 at cost element level on manufacturing cost center.
Then the fixed costs are distributed on various activity types on the basis of Splitting structure defined at OKEW.
In Splitting Structure we define the rules, how the fixed cost will be distributed to Activities. For the purpose of this document, considering split of fixed cost on the basis of Capacity maintained in KP26.

Flow of product costing

Hi All,
Iam new to controlling area. I want to know the entire process flow of product costing and what are journal entries reflect in this flow.
Thanks,
chandu

Hi,
The requirement of batch wise capturing of costs can be achieved by creating a separate production order for each batch of production. The production order captures all the cost, which are incurred during the production process. The details of each cost are as below.
1.For every batch of production a production order is raised in the production department. The production order contains the details of BOM and recipe.
2.The Bill of Material (BOM) details the raw material and packing material in the required portions that are required for production.
3.The recipe contains the detail process of production activity including resource such as manufacturing machineries, equipment. Each operation is assigned to its resource and each resource assigned to relevant activities such as Labour, fuel, power etc. (maximum of six parameters for each resource). Each resource is attached to a cost centre.
4. The recipe and BOM are copied to production order automatically when the order is created. The quantities of materials and activities are determined at standard levels (Planned costs).
5. A production order may contain several phases and each phase requires individual confirmation.
6.Once a phase in production process is complete the production person gives his approval by the way of confirmation.
7. At the time of giving confirmation he inputs the actual quantities incurred for material and activities. Using these inputs the Actual Cost can be arrived.
8. From controlling module, the planned rates of activities are uploaded on periodical basis. monthly or annually. The cost of material is taken at Moving Average price.
Once the batch production is complete the production person gives his final approval to the order as u201CTechnically completed (TECO)u201D.
9. At the month end / period end all these process orders are settled at the costing department.
10. The settlement results in calculating the overheads on predetermined rate and transferring the total cost of the production on to the finished product. The following entry is generated
Finished goods stock Account Dr
To factory output Account Cr.
11.The work-in-process is calculated based on the status assigned to production order. If the order has a status of u201Cu201CTechnically completed (TECO)u201D. the work-in-process is not calculated, but the order will be totally settled.
12.The standard cost of finished product is released at the beginning of every month. The standard cost is calculated based on the Bill of Material and recipe defined independently for each finished and semi finished product.
13.The variance is calculated on the difference of standard cost of material and the actual cost incurred in the production.
14. When the actual cost of power, fuel, Labour are accounted against respective cost centres in the month end, the system automatically determines the under absorption or over absorption of production costs. This difference cost will be apportioned to all the batches on a predetermined basis.
Revaluation of Production orders
Initially cost planned in cost centre accounting against activity types are used for valuating the materials that are produced. At the month end when actual cost are booked from financial accounting, revised activity price calculation is carried in cost centre accounting and with this prices the production orders are revalued. The revaluation is carried to the extent of difference between planned vs. actual activity prices. The revaluation production orders will not be carried, as production orders will be settled Immediately.
The actual cost of every batch is determined using above process. A report is generated to know the cost for each batch.
The standard cost fixed with each customer for each product is maintained in a separate database. The Costing department should compare these details with the actual cost of production and identify the difference. Accordingly a Debit/Credit note can be generated.
Once a standard cost estimate is created, it updates the material master with that rate.
Cost Object Controlling is an area in cost accounting that assigns the costs incurred in the production of company activities (such as internally manufactured materials) to those activities. Cost Object Controlling supports you in:
Reaching make-or-buy decisions
Determining price floors
Performing complex cost analysis (such as target/actual analysis)
Determining inventory values
Cost component Structure:
A control of how the results of activity price calculation or material costing are stored.
In Product Cost Controlling (CO-PC), the cost component structure determines the attributes for passing on the following costs:
Material costs passed on to material valuation as the standard price or inventory price
Product cost components are
Material
Accessories
Power
Fuel
Sal & wages
Depreciation
R&M/ Stores
Others
Admin OH
Standard Cost Estimates (Applicable for trading activity)
At the start of the fiscal year standard cost estimates will be released based on the planned raw material prices and planned manufacturing overheads. These standard prices are updated in the respective material master. These cost estimates are run only for make-to-stock materials.
The various components of cost are incurred in producing a product is captured. The following cost components are considered for materials cost, consumables and fuel, direct
Labour cost, utilities. Repairs and maintenance gases, depreciation, administrative overheads. A costing sheet will be created to capture administrative overheads cost which are not absorbed in the products as activity cost but are to be considered for inventory valuation In the first step planned activity outputs for each cost centre are planned, then planned cost that will be incurred against each activity type and primary cost element are planned, by carrying out activity price calculation the planned price of each activity is arrived. These activity types are entered in the work centers and routings. When cost estimates are created, system captures material cost from the prices mentioned in material master. The manufactured overheads are updated from the activity cost planned in cost center accounting.
