Different weights (man hours, material, costs) of/within different WBS sections

Hi there,
I am using Microsoft Project Standard 2010.
Within some elements of my schedule I would like to weight by man-hours, within some by material and within some others again by cost.
Also I would like to manually adjust the the weighting on the highest level of my schedule manually. E.g. WBS 01 20%, WBS 02 30% and so on.
By now I have only found out about how to weight by "Work"; putting in man-hours and then using the weighted %Work Complete.
But how about the other above mentioned weightings?
Thanks in advance!

hkd66,
For work type resources the Work field is essentially man-hours and it sounds like you figured that out. For material resources, the metric is defined by the material label and the standard rate per the material label (e.g. "bricks" at $1.00/brick). Weighting
by cost is something you must "back" into via the quantity. Cost type resources are of course direct cost entries. Is that what you mean by "some others"?
Now the question comes, what exactly is your intent with regard to adjusting the weight at the highest level? Are you trying to set up the initial plan to achieve a certain man-hour and cost budget, or are you trying to achieve something else?
Although it may appear that you can "weight" your schedule's man-hours by entering a value in the % Work Complete field at summary level, that is not the intent of that field, nor the best use for it. You will not be able to do a similar thing with the cost
field. Summary lines are intended for summarizing the data of the subtasks under them, not for rolling data down to subtasks.
We need to better understand what you are trying to accomplish (i.e. you end goal), before we can give you much guidance.

  • Material Cost Estimate with different lot size.

    What happens if the material cost estimate is run twice using different lot sizes each time  (all other parameters unchanged) for the same period?
    Will the cost estimate run later overwrites the results from cost estimate run earlier (though the lot size is different)? What is the role of lot size in a material cost estimate?

    The costing lot size impacts your cost estimate if you have lot size independent costs (i.e. setup cost).  Those fixed costs are spread over the costing lot sizee to give you a cost per unit..  Larger costing lot sizes can also help you minimize rounding issues.
    You can only have one marked cost estimate in a given period.  However, you can create and save a cost estimate as many times as you want as long as you have not marked it for release.  When you save the estimate it will overwrite an existing estimate.  You also have the option of creating multiple estimates under different versions or with different costing variants.

  • Material cost by period  for WBS/ Project

    Hi, I am working on one reporting requirement.
    Requirement is like that material  actual cost & quantity  which issued to WBS/ Project in perticular period.
    I am having some idea. Like COEP table via value type 4 I can fetch the actual cost for the porject.
    How to fetch the cost for only material consumbed by proejct.
    Please extend your help. so, I get more clear path to work ahead.

    Hi,
    Pls check Automatic Posting account (OBYC).
    There is G/L account maintained againt Valuation Class in Transaction GBB.
    When u assign material which is having maintained Valuation class , G/L account gets automatically picked up.
    using this u can get values from COEP.

  • Material Ledger : Cost component split different in CO PC and ML

    Hello SAP People,
    In ML cost component split I don't have the same split that in CK13N COPC.
    History
    We changed the cost component structure in OKTZ, because we wanted to split on two different cost component the cost of Copper :
    -     Copper
    -     Primes :Premium cost (transformation cost for producer) on copper.
    In CK11N the split is OK and we can read the new cost element corresponding to premium cost.
    To split the costing tool goes on the purchase info records to read condition type that are different for copper and premium.
    The problem we have is that when we run Material ledger we are not able to see after a good receipt a similar split in the cost component view.
    We already run MLCCS_RESET and MLCCS_Startup programs this month and created new Raw material after. But it seems the ML do not take care of this and all the actual cost (I stop to single level) are on the copper cost component and there is nothing on Premium cost component.
    We just run single level on ML for current month.
    Could you please help me to explain why we are not able to obtain the correct split between Copper and u201CPrimesu201D

    Hi Marco,
    yes, these both are independent from each other. You will have no issue when these are different.
    It is very typical that you want to report different kind of information for activities as for materials.
    A typical setup might be
    Activity                                   Material
    Asset depreciation                   Raw Material Cost
    Room cost                               Energy
    Labour                                     Production Cost
    labour overhead                      Production Overhead
    Electricity                                 Packaging
    When you use the activity for the production of a material (confirmation CO15) the assignment goes normally to a single cost component in the material, above for example into production cost. This is controlled by the cost element. Only when the primary cost component split is activated and a transfer structure betweeen both is maintained you could achieve
    Asset depeciation, Room Cost, Labour overhead  -> Production overhead
    Labour -> Production Cost
    Electricity -> Energy

  • Man hour cost

    Hi All,
    Could you please let me know the best practice to calculate man hour cost in mainteance order.
    Finance team define the activity price rate using t-code KP26 based on what ? If it is based
    on  employee salary posted to a cost center,then at the time of settlement of maintenance order's
    man hour cost ,again we are posting the cost to the equipment cost center .May be that equipment
    belongs to same cost center where salary was posted ,so we are posting two times same cost .
    Can anybody please clarify my doubt ? Thanks in advance .

    Pranjal

    Hello
    Man hour cost nothing do with salary paid to resource.Its business understanding as per their experience what are the rates resource belonging such as if some one hire from outside firm rate will be more so business decides the rates in accordance with rates which is charged for outside resource.So internal resource may have less rates compare to outside resource.also how much work complex and trunky work involve for activity type will also play imp role while deciding the rates.so summarily its just way how the FICO or Maintenance Manager would like to have rates per resource based on activity type.

  • Confuguarable Material Cost Estimate

    Hi All.,
    It is an urgent requirement.......
    My client having both configuarable & non configuarable materials.....
    with regarding to the configuarable material cost estimate i don't have good grip on this.
    Can anybody please share some guidlines for how to create the cost estimate.....
    Thanks one and all.,
    Raja

    Configurable materials can only have a cost estimate when there is a sales order bom to define the build.
    We use configurable material and the cost estimate is configured in the same manner as standard material (Costing variant,costing dates, transfer control, etc. but some of the details differ), but it is only Saved within a Sales order. You can use CU50 for a trial cost - the configuration will have to be created in CU50 before it will cost.
    When costing configurable materials in sales orders or for sales orders the valuation variant is different from standard cost variant in these points:
    1 - The costing type is different. 18 - Sales order costing vs. 01 - Standard cost est. (mat.)
    The Costing type for Sales order does not allow updating of the standard price in the Mat Mstr
    The Costing type for Sales order also controls the use of Labor overhead for the costing variant.
    2 - Valuation Variant can be different - Valuation for Prod Costing specifies the rules to build a cost estimate. For Sales order, you may want it to use ONLY the standard price for a material/component, and NOT build a cost estimate.
    3 - Date control - The default “from” date for the Config Mat in a Sales order is “Today” while for product costing it is “first of next month”
    Our Prod Cost Est. is valid until the end of the Fiscal year when a new cost estimate is released. Our Config Material on a Sales order is valid until the end of time.
    I cannot explain “why” we chose one over the other, most of the decisions were made before I arrived. But the Costing Type Difference is very important to us, because there is no chance that the cost estimate will interfere with setting of standards and it allows “searching” for a Sales Order Cost estimate.
    You have to analyze how each part of the costing variant could impact the business and decide how to set it. If circumstances change, you can review the settings later. (I fully intend to review some of ours directly after this conversation.)
    Sales Order Costing Variants are on OKY9 while product costing is at OKKN
    Sales Order Costing Variants are assigned under SD “Maintain Requirements Classes for Costing/Account Assignment (table T459K)
    Hope this helps.

  • Cost distribution within the group companies

    Hi Experts ,
    Need your thoughts on what would be the best approach for the scenario explained below :
    We have a parent company and three other companies within the group. In total 4 company codes. There are some expenses which are booked under parent company and should be later (at month end ) to be distributed at fixed % to the other 3 companies within the group as during the time of entry it is not feasible to separate the transaction at co code level or is time consuming activity. In what way we can distribute such cost and ensure it reflects in FI reporting  also so that P&L shows correct distributed values. Also there are some assets which are commonly shared by all the assets so the depreciation also needs to be shared with the companies in the group. ECC 6.0 being implemented . I tried using distribution but is not giving desired result.
    Thanks
    Sunil

    Hi Sunil Mane,
    What cost objects distribution between different company codes?
    T-CODE:OKKP  Have you selected cross-company-code cost accounting? I think this is a preconditon of cost distribution  between different company codes.

  • How to get report for cost estimates material cost only

    Hi Gurus,
    We have requirement in sales order costing that we need to develope report which shows only Material cost for all BOM levels.
    Normally at lower levels cost of Material and activity cost will be treated as Material cost for next level. Here I want to consider only material cost not activity cost at lower levels
    Pls suggest the logic and tables for exploding BOM and fetching material cost only.
    Thanks

    If you tick the "Roll up" indicatorfor each cost component  in Cost Comp Str OKTZ, then overheads do  not get added to the material cost... This is my understanding about it.. Is it behaving some thing different in your case??

  • Assign direct material cost to value field in copa while issue to Prod orde

    Dear All,
    My requirement is like this:
    There are some 16 material groups from A to P each containing some materials(finished goods).
    I want to allocate overhead to different material groups(Charecteristic in copa) in COPA using the periodic assesment cycles. I am able to allocate overhead(admin & sales cost) to different value fields in copa from different cost centers.
    I want to analyse the product cost and also the profitability of each material group in COPA using Report painter. Iam able to pull all the costs which i assign to value fields using assessment. But, i am NOT able to get the direct material cost which is issued to production orders using BOM.
    My question is whether we can assign the direct material cost to any user defined value field(material cost value field) while the material is being issued to production orders. Is there any automated way where we can directly assign the direct material cost to value field in copa while issuing the material to Production orders.
    Pls explain me whether we can do it. if yes how?
    Thank you very much in advance.
    Regards,

    PA is a Profitability analysis tool. That means it gets updated when a sale is made, not before. (Except for settlements and assessment of overheads.)
    Goods issues for production gets updated in CO-PC, and needs to be analysed there. If you don't, you loose all the inbuilt tools for variance analysis, cost estimate comparisons, Wip Calculation etc. To the best of my knowledge, a Profitability Segment cannot be used as a cost object in Production Planning, because amongst others, you need to be able to capitalise the produced materials to stock at the end of the production run, or to WIP at the end of the Financial period,which is not possible with PS.
    Similarly, overheads are recorded in CCA and needs to be analysed there.
    If one goes against these big groupings in SAP, you always run into problems.

  • Condition type to be loaded on Material cost after Taxes but shouldn't change Tax base Amount.

    Customer requirement is that they want to deduct some amount after the Taxes (after BASB) &t load this amount value after taxes on Material cost  (hence accrual KEY can't  be used). but with the addition of this new condition type (for deduction) it shouldn't change the base amount  for Tax condition type (BASB).
    Basic Problem : new condition type value to be load on material (after taxes). but this condition value shouldn't change the Net price of PO(amount in BASB condition of Tax) so that base amount (BASB) of Tax procedure remain unchanged.
    (Since it is to be loaded on material hence i cant use account key definitely. Also this cost to be loaded on material after taxes)
    Ex -             PBXX =     100 base price
                     Freight =       20
       Tax base amnt =     120
                   Tax (5%)=          6
                          Total =    126
         Other Charges=      10  (this 10 Rs amount in this condition type required to be loaded on material cost, at the same time this condition value shouldn't change the base amount for the Tax (BASB)
    Please suggest (purpose is to load the deduction on material cost after Taxes & same time it shouldn't change the  the amount after Tax base calculation)

    Hi,
       Your condition type is without acrual flag in M/06. No acrual key is maintained in the MM pricing procedure.
       To achieve your requirement, maintain subtotal 6 against the condition type in your MM pricing procedure in M/08.
       Maintain the base type calc procedure as 362 against your BASB condition type in tax procedure. Keep the field blank for the tax condition type (VAT or CST / ED etc)
       Test the scenario again with a new PO. System will show the condition value in net amount field in PO, but the same wont be copied to BASB in tax procedure. Check the taxes pop up. Check the same and revert back.
    Note: Similar requirement (not exact) for acrual conditions are mentioned in my doc: Tax Calculation on Freight - Different Scenarios You may refer it if required.

  • Raw Material Cost Estimate - No split between cost component

    Dears,
    I need to execute a material cost estimate considering the Purchasing Info Record (PIR) where 3 different conditions are present:
    1) PB00
    2) FRB1
    3) RUC1
    The scope is:
    - linking PB00 to cost component 1
    - linking FRB1 to cost component 2
    - linking RUC1 to cost component 3
    Cost components are already created.
    I did following steps:
    - creation PIR with these 3 conditions (transaction ME11)
    PB00  10,00 EUR @ 1 KG
    FRB1   2,00 EUR @ 1 KG
    RUC1   3,00 EUR @ 1 KG
    - link condition types to origin groups (transaction OKYO)
    FRB1 linked to FRB1
    RUC1 linked to RUC1
    - link origin groups to cost component (transaction OKTZ)
    PB00, is linked to cost component 1 without origin group, but using only account coming from T030 table 
    FRB1 is linked to cost component 2 using origin group FRB1 and the same acocunt used for condition PB00 coming from T030 table
    RUC1 is linked to cost component 3 using origin group RUC1 and the same acocunt used for condition PB00 coming from T030 table
    At this moment, when I try to execute the cost estimate with transaction CK11N, the split is not done, and all condition types (all amounts) are linked to cost component 1. The set-up done in OKYO is not considered by the system.
    In the material master there's any origin group, if I try to fill in origin group FRB1 all condition types (all amounts) are linked to component 2, and if I try to change the origin group in the material master from FRB1 to RUC1, all condition types (all amounts) are linked to component 3 --> this means that the set-up done OKTZ is correctly considered by the system to link the origin group to the cost components.
    The problem is that the system reads the origin group from the material master, instead of transaction OKYO.
    How can I solve this problem?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Jody

    Pl verify following two things -
    Check valuation variant.
    Strategy sequence should have 'L - Price from purchasing info-record' and Sub-strategy should be 'A Quotation price via condition table' or 'B PO price via condition table'.
    OKYO setting should have valuation variant associated with your costing variant, along with other details (dont leave that field blank).
    Let us know if that works.
    Regards,

  • Split Valuation Material Cost Estimate into COPA

    Hi all,
    Is there any way how we can transfer the split valuation material cost estimate into COPA?
    I checked the actual line items, there is no "valuation type / batch" characteristics there.
    Is this the main cause?
    Please kindly suggest on the best way to solve this issue
    Thank you very much
    Regards, Erwin

    Hi, Ajay
    Does this mean that, even though i manage to create the valuation type as characteristic in COPA, i won't be able to get 2 different cost estimate based on valuation type into COPA?
    Hm, then, are there any solutions which can be done to solve this issue?
    The client needs a COPA report which can show the breakdown of the sold materials cost estimates
    As usual, thank you very much for your help

  • Table used in Material cost value

    Hi,
    In Material cost estimation Cost Components views are Material Cost, Material Overhead, Subcontracting Charges, Conversion Cost and Total Cost. Material Cost is calculated based on Material price, Bom Qty, value put in KP26 i.e, fixed and variable pirce with combination of Cost Center and Activity type and processing hours, Labout hours from Routing. Total Cost appears with the combination of Material Cost and Conversion Cost . This Total Cost appears in costing view tab of Material Master and CKIS table. which table stored in Material Cost value. Kindly need your suggestion.

    Hi A Roy
    The tables are KEKO and KEPH....
    In KEKO you will find prod costimation no against the combination of Plant/Material
    Against this Prod Cst Est no, you will find the cost break up in KEPH table

  • Different Cost Centers for Different Line Items in a single Reservation

    Hello Gurus,
    When we create a Material Reservation, we give the cost center at the header level and that cost center is accounted for each of the line items in the reservation. But when the reservation has many line items which depend on different cost centers,  there is a need to enter different cost centers for different line items in the same Material Reservation. How can this be done? Please suggest.

    Hi,
    It's a standard restriction in SAP functionality  where one reservation document can only accommodate one cost center.
    You can not maintain multiple cost centres for individual line items.
    You have to create seperate Reservations for each cost centre.
