Difference in Price per unit and Standard cost between COPA and PCA

Hi
I did a comparison between COPA and PCA for January. For few products,there is a difference in the Standard cost and PPU between the two reports(product wise). What might possibly be the reason for the difference. And how to analyze the root cause of this difference.
Thanks
Jaswanth

Hi
By PPU - Do you mean PUP i.e. Per Unit Price of Material Ledger??
If yes, then you are not comparing apple to apple.. Std cost is bound to be diff than actual cost

UOM Conversions and Standard Cost Variances

If we have the right Unit of Measure conversion defined, with standard cost in FEET and the PO ordered in METERS, will the standard cost variance calculate properly? That is, will it take into consideration a different standard cost when calculating a Purchase Price Variance?
thanks for your response,
Pam

Thanks for reply. Can I use the following sequence:
1. Opening MM period for the month of Feb on 1st Feb (so I can release cost estimate on Feb 1)
2. Marking and releasing cost esitmate on Feb 1 (this will revalue the closing stock as well)
3. FI & MM closing activities on Feb 1 & Feb 2, though postings in Jan is required.
4. CO distribution and CO-PA Assessment Cycles on Feb 1 & 2 (after FI & MM closing)
Please notice some Jan activities in Feb after cost estimate of Feb. Please comment if you suggest something else
regards
Chris

PO: Condition type maintained in header level affect the price per unit

Hi,
When I create a PO (Tcode ME21N) with 2 line items:
Line Item 1: $5.00 per unit, order 1 unit
Line Item 2: $10.00 per unit, order 1 unit
Then I put a condition type: Transportation Charges of $10.00 at header level.
The system will auto calculate and proportionate the transportation charges into that 2 line items. So now, the price per unit of the 2 line items has been change:
Based on the formula [ (original price per unit * Transportation Charges / total order value) + original price per unit ]:
Line Item 1: $8.33 per unit [ ($5.00 * $10.00 / $15.00) + $5.00 ]
Line Item 2: $16.67 per unit [ ($10.00 * $10.00 / $15.00) + $10.00 ]
There are 2 things here that we want to do:
1. We donu2019t want the transportation charges affect the price per unit. Means we do not want the price per unit to be changed. We want the transportation charges stand alone on it owns.
2. Also, sometimes the transportation charges is paid to a different supplier, meaning the original order value paid to supplier A, and the transportation charges paid to the supplier B (which is a transportation company).
Can anyone advise how can I do this?
Thank you.

hai;
give the transportation charges in item level
go to 'item details' tab and select individual item ,go to condition ,maintain the 'frb1' value seperatly for the two items in the PO.You can also assign seperate transportation vendor for items sepertly.
For selecting the transportation vendor ;you just select the line where you maintained the frieght value and click on the 'condition detail' button shown in the bottom of the screen then on next screen there is an option for giving the transportation vendor acccount no.
try
hope this will help you

How to retrieve price per unit in SAP?

Hi all!
does anyone know what are the steps to retrieve from SAP price per unit value that customer was invoiced?
I am writing Z program for retrieving price per unit (for example per kilogram) in order to calculate debit/credit memo invoice for the customer.
To achieve this I have the following information:
customer nr
material nr
amount of units (for example amount of kilograms)
invoice nr
pricelist nr
so price per unit value is missing here... if I have it I could multiply it with amount of units and get the result I need...

What is the difference in price of MacBook Pro 13-inch: 2.9GHz750GB and 256GB solid-state drive

What is the difference in price of MacBook Pro 13-inch: 2.9GHz750GB and 256GB solid-state drive ?

go to the Store and configure all the models with upgrades but... an SSD will be fast and responsive, no noise or heat and adds $200 probably to the cost

Price per unit is getting round off to two decimal places.

Hi Gurus,
In the Billing output, the Price per unit is getting round off to two decimal places.
How can we avoid this or allow 4 decimal places for such cases.
In the same pricing procedure, we have two pricing condition types PR02 and ZR01.
When PR02 is being used,it doesnt rounds off Price per unit.e.g .578888 = .578888
But when ZR01 is being used the system rounds off price per unit.e.g.578888 = .58
Please suggest where is the setting for it.
Thanks
Montee

Hi,
Which currency you are using? If its INR, then it will do only for 2 decimal places.
The solution for ur problem can be ractified by changing the scales :

Transferring Standard and Actual costs to COPA

Hi,
We are using 3 valuations (Legal, Profit Center and Group Valuations). In order to transfer standard and actual costs to COPA for all 3 valuations do we need to create 3 costings (total 6) for transferring standard and and 3 costings keys for transferring actual costing to COPA?
Thanks.

Hi Ravi.
Very interesting question!
1: Ledgers in FI are not related with Material Ledger Valuation. EG, in FI you can have IFRS, TAX, and GAAP; and in ML You can have "currency/valuations" Legal, PCA / Group. Keep in mind this are different stuff.
2: In Material Ledger, you can valuate your stock according to different ledgers, with the bussiness function FIN_CO_COGM (Paralell cost of goods manufactured). The idea of this BF is have alternative valuations assigned to the principles (IFRS, TAX, GAAP), so in FI you can accomplish different Stocks, COGS and on accounts, based on different accounting principles. You can understand this as the brothers of FI Ledgers, in order to do product costing.
3: In PA, you only post (or transfer) one record. You have to decide if use "Local, Group, PCA or Paralell Cost of Goods Manufactured". (Im 90% sure based on lot of reading, maybe im missing somethings).
Please, check this old post. Waman is a good source of info!

Hi Waman!Waman Shirwaicar Could you please clarify the concept? This is a topic that there are not much info!

Relation between Preliminary and Standard Cost Estomate

Hi,
I would like to know how preliminary cost estimate using product cost collector and standard cost estimate are related to each other.
I am not quite clear how both are used for a given plant in repetitive mfg scenario?
Regards,
Yogesh

Hi,
Thanks for the reply,
My question do not need so many details for its answer.
I would just like to know if standard cost estimate will still be required even if we are using repetitive manufacturing or it gets handled through product cost collector.
I would like to know if there is any overlap between the two from process point of view.

Yogesh

Costing sheet and standard cost estimate

Hi
I am trying to use Costing sheet for overhead calculation .
But in costing run I am not getting the overhead amount calculated .
I created the costing sheet and assigned that to valuation variant .
Where from the actual / Plan values being picked up for over head calculation .
More over I need to understand on what basis the %age for overhead can be calculted to be aborbed to material cost .
In costing run I am having ZERO values for overhead .
I have followed the following steps
Costing Sheet: Components
Define Calculation Bases
Define Percentage Overhead Rates
Define Quantity-Based Overhead Rates
Define Credits
Define Overhead Keys
Define Overhead Groups
Even then the Production overhead is not being calculated at the time of Cost Run
for standard cost estimate .
regards

Do you enter overhead group in the material master.
Key that groups together materials to which the same overhead is applied.
Procedure
In costing with and without quantity structure, and when costing production orders and run schedule headers, you can apply percentage overhead charges by means of an overhead key if you:
Assign a costing sheet to your production order or run schedule header, or to the valuation variant for the cost estimate
Enter overhead charges in this costing sheet that use the overhead key field
Assign the overhead key to an overhead group
Enter this overhead group in the material master record of the material

Proceeding without standard costing for May08 and June08

Hi,
We have implemented Material Ledger here.
The backlogs are on.
We are still on May08 backlogs.
We had to proceed without standard costing for May and now also for June which we would be able to finish by July 20th.
After that we will be doing the standard costing run for July 2008 by 22nd July.
I dont think we neeed to calculate and settle variances for May and June 2008.
Please guide.
Could you please guide me on what precautions that need to be taken.
Also, when I do the actual costing (ML) run for July in August 2008, I think only the variances for July will be calculated and settled.
Any material Ledger experts, please advise and guide.
regards,
Nidhi

Hi Elaine,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
You are absolutely right.
The system will not allow me to close July in ML, unless I have closed May and June.
Also, the second option is completely ruled out. Every material has to be included in the ML run.
For carrying out ML closing activities for previous posting periods, the note no. 361236 would help. Please advise.
Also, Elaine, I am noticing that despite the fact that we did not do the standard costing run for May 2008, the system is using the standard cost estimate of April 2008 to calculate all variances.
I checked the costs analysis of all process orders and the system is correctly calculating the variances for all process orders.
So please suggest if the steps I am mentioning below are correct:
May 2008:
I will first calculate production variance using T code KKS1
Then settle the production variance using: CO88
Then I will carry out ML run for May using: CKMLCP
May closes in Material Ledger
June 2008:
I will first calculate production variance using T code KKS1
Then settle the production varinace using: CO88
Then I will carry out ML run for June using: CKMLCP
June closes in Material Ledger
Then I will do the standard costing run for July 2008.
(Also please note that we closed May and opened June in MM using MMPV, because one region is still in May backlogs while the other has started June backlogs. So the current period in MM is June and previous period is May 2008. This I guess should not have any impact on the ML run for May 2008)
Please guide me with possible reconstruction of steps.
Thanks a lot & regards,
Nidhi

Differences between Costing based COPA and Account based COPA

Hi,
I wanted to know the main differences between Costing based COPA and Account based COPA?
For which scenarios account based COPA used and for which scenarios costing based copa used.
please guide me
sateesh

HI
Costing-based Profitability Analysis is the form of profitability analysis that groups costs and revenues according to value fields and costing-based valuation approaches, both of which you can define yourself. It guarantees you access at all times to a complete, short-term profitability report.
Account-based Profitability Analysis is a form of profitability analysis organized in accounts and using an account-based valuation approach. The distinguishing characteristic of this form is its use of cost and revenue elements. It provides you with a profitability report that is permanently reconciled with financial accounting

Difference between COPA and BW

Hi,
I want to know what are the difference between COPA and BW. Some one already implemented COPA for our client and now the client is asking what are the advantages of implementing of BW and Why they are going for BW? Because already COPA was already implemented.
Sateesh

Hi,
BW is a business warehouse of OLAP-type for SAP. BW has several standard 'cubes' for every component in SAP; GL, FM, etc. Amongst them there is also CO-PA. CO-PA by itself is sort of OLAP-cube, so putting it to BW could be only from technical reasons (perfomance, for example) or customer-specific definitions. In BW, like every modern OLAP tool, you can build your own cubes, merge several cubes, define additional key figures, build sophisticated reports, etc. Thus, it's more powerful tool in terms of BI analysis. Therefore, situation where you need BW only for CO-PA is possible and potentially justified.

Separate document no. for SD revision document and detagging relationship between invoice and SD document no.

HI,
Country specific settings for India - Business transactions enables SD revision vide table TE872_SDCTRL_IND.
Whenever SD revision takes place system issue similar document no. as that of invoice and tagged it with XBLNR as per standard process.
Now issue that if that invoice is reversed, subsequent SD also gets reversed.
So business requires to have separate document no. for SD revision document and detagged relationship between invoice and SD document no.
I have explored event R507, 0010, 0060 and R436 but couldn't find input structure where such separate document can be assigned.
So can you provide hint which can assist in issue resolution?

Paresh

Copy and paste styles between objects and entire slides

Hi,
In Keynote 5 I was able to copy and paste styles between objects and even between entire slides.
cmd+alt+c on one object (like a circle) and all its details like shadows, colors and animations could be transferred to another object.
One could even do it with entire slides and transfer one animation style to all the other slides.
THAT DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE.
Does anybody else miss these features?
Or is it just me?

object animations tools are:
copy animation:   Format > Copy Animation
paste animation   Format > Paste Animation
     there are no keyboard short commands for these.
There are no tools to copy or paste transitions between slides, you could duplicate the slide then add the content.
