Distribution cost issue

Hello sap,
dollars of currecy means ex: 1000000 dollar of distribution cost have been incorrectly assigned to Account 250118, beginning on August 12th, 2010.
They should have been assigned to Account 420411.
The correct Account reference is included in the configuration for the company code 1234 Shipment Costing functionality, as far as I know.

Hi Preeti
If you want to move cost from one GL account to another, you wil have to pass an FI JV (F-02) Crediting the wrong GL account and Debiting the correct GL account
If the GL is marked for "Post Automatically" in FS00, remove the tick for the time being and restore it once you do F-02

Special MTO Scenario - Costing Issues

Hi,
Not sure if I should post it here or in the FI / CO forum, but here it is ...
I'm in the process of implementing APO in a Aerospace company in Montréal, Canada and we're stuck on an Account Assignment Planning, and Product Costing issue.
Today, all demand / production / movements / costing is done by creating a Project Network.
Here are the current settings:
- Create a project with activities for each major "line section" for major components.
- Each activity has a component allocated to it
- Each activity has a different WBS element assigned to it.
- All production orders/purchase orders/goods movements are created/posted against the WBS elements.
- All stock for MTO parts are assigned to the WBS element
In order to provide better integration with APO and bring more flexibility in the Planning and Simulation processes, we were hoping to stop using Project Networks as the trigger for demand / planning / execution. The idea was to use Sales Orders (or Customer Independent Requirements - CIR) to generate the demand and run APO and MRP planning from it. The special stock segment now becomes linked to the sales order (or CIR) which changes alot of thing in the accounting documents and costs elements in the whole planning and execution processes.
Here is what we were hoping to achieve in order to limit impacts on finance :
- we are implementing APO and would like planning to be performed without using project networks.
- we would like to have planned orders for the top level for long term and be able to trigger the purchasing of long lead time items.
- we would like all goods movements (PO reception, GI to production order etc, ) to be posted to WBS elements
- we would like all production orders to settle to WBS elements
We tried different scenarios with different account assignments categories, but could not find one that fits the bill :
1) we tried using account assignment category "D" which allows assignment to sales order and WBS element. We created CIR as demand.
The problem is the stock is non-valuated which resulted in having no accounting documents for goods issue to production order.
2) we tried account assignment category "Q" with using CIR as demand. We had one WBS element assignment in the CIR. When we changed the WBS value in planned orders to represent each "line section" we ended up with duplicate demand in the original segment and the new segment.
So, is there a scenario with valuated stock that would allow us to do a make-to-order process that would post all costs to WBS?
Thanks,
Marc

Hi, sorry for the title confusion ... I cannot change it anymore.
I'm not sure I understand what you are proposing.
In our case, the problem is not really linked to the CIFing to APO but more on the Account Assignment Category in ECC and the Customer / Project Stock Segment in MRP.
Since we have a multiple level BOM and that the intermediate levels need to be associate with different WBS element according to major parts of the aircraft.
Here is an example :
Aicraft -- Has its own BOM with major parts as sub assemblies,
Major Parts -- Each Major Parts needs to be linked to a different WBS for costing purpose.
Minor Sub Assemblies -- All cost of producing the Minor Sub Assemblies should be tracked inside the Major Parts WBS.
Components -- All components costs and accounting documents should be tracked inside the Major Parts WBS.
We know that by using a project Network for the Aircraft Level we could create activities for each Major Parts with different WBS, but since we want to do planning in APO, we were hoping to not use PS has a scheduling basis. The integration of PS in APO is still not used a lot and the flexibility of Projects in planning processes is not great.
In resume, we are trying to create the demand from a Sales Order or CIR, but manage costs and accounting documents within WBS for all level in order to limit impacts on the Finance Department.

Distribution List issue

Hello,
Since our upgrade to GW 8 users can no longer administer Distribution Lists. I have created a new test list and made myself administrator to verify this. I can add the members to the list but when I save and close they are not added to the list. We are running 8.02 with most current build (91941)on agents and clients. Do I need to run some kind of PO repair?
Thanks in advance.

Hmm, weird although I'm have a weird dist list issue also in that some are disappearing from users' address books. Sometimes they'll show back up if I refresh the address book from the system book but often not. I'll submit a new post on that one; it's possible they're related.
>>> csupers<[email protected]> 1/24/2011 7:06 AM >>>
These are all regular c/s connections, very few of our users (maybe 10)
using caching. We had implemented this before we went to 8 and it was
working fine, now it's broke.

Distribution cost center details

Hi
In payroll while posting to FI the wagetypes will post to FI costcenter wise, if there is any
distribution cost centers it will post through distribution % to FI
Is there any table where we can get those details % distribution amount
Please help
Thanks

Allocate distribution costs to a batch

I am dealing with a scenario in which split valuation X (batch) is activated, that is, inbound goods are being valuated separately per batch.
My question in such scenario is whether I could allocate distribution costs (or any other expenses) to each batch separately since I would like to analyze the cost and profitability of each batch.
It could be really complex like the following example illustrates:
I procure two batches from suppliers which are registered in MIGO at the time of Goods Receipt. Then each batch is assigned to a different delivery document. When preparing the transport, one batch will be delivered to one customer and the other batch will be delivered to another customer. However both batches will be transported in the same truck according to a shipment document and at a certain point of shipment's route, the first delivery (batch 1) will be delivered. Afterwards, the truck will progress to the second customer platform for deliverying batch 2.
In this case I would like to maintain cost traceability at batch level, that is, somehow I would allocate transportation costs to each batch. Same happens for other logistical costs.
Briefly, could I have a batch as a cost object?
Many thanks

Activity cost impact on Target Cost issue

Dear All,
Earlier this issue was posted in PP forum but didnt get the answer
Kindly follow the link.
[Activity cost impact on Target Cost issue;
Regards,
Shayam

Dear Shyam,
Normally the Total costs in activity price calculation (KP26) are taken and multiplied with quantity and charged off to the receivers irrespective of the type of costs i.e. whether it is a Fixed cost or variable cost. We don't have functionality to consider the Fixed costs to spread across the output and take the per unit value accordingly. The Fixed costs in kp26 are updated just to reflect the costs in the cost component structure as Fixed costs.

Is there a way to avoid having a content library on a site server when the Distribution Point role is not installed on that server (disk cost issue)?

Hello,
I don't think it is possible, but my goal is to start a discussion about content libraries and maybe suggest something for a future release or version of Configuration Manager.
Actually, based on Configuration Manager Technet documentation, Configuration Manager creates a content library on each site server and on each distribution point.
Often, when designing the architecture, people will offload the distribution point role from the site server to an external server (and add the role to other servers too for redundancy). They could also do the same for the Management Point role, but this
is not related to content library. The idea is to save the site server from having to deal with clients for software distribution (applications, software updates, OS, etc.), this is especially true for organizations having a large number of clients and/or
primary site servers involved in a hierarchy. Doing so will allow more resources on the site server to deal with the database and also replication in the case of a hierarchy.
When doing that, you still have to maintain a content library on the site server and the thing is this library will usually become huge, especially for organizations having more than 1000 applications (add also OS images to this). Will the content library
on the site server become as huge as the one for a distribution point having a copy of all content? I guess the answer is yes.
I know that Pull distribution points will help offloading the task from the site server to distribute content to distribution points, but, correct me if I'm wrong, you still have to maintain a content library on the site server when using them, and they
will not make the content library smaller on the site server. Also, I don't like the fact that you lose the rate limits feature with Pull DPs, but this is another story.
Storage cost is high and in this scenario, it hurts to have to pay this cost for a content library not used by the clients, but only to distribute content to DPs.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the key component here is Distribution Manager on the site server; this is the one which has to maintain a content library to do its job.
It would be nice if we could have a way to elect a specific distribution point (not on the site server) as the Distribution Manager for a site, that main DP would hold a copy of all content by default, but would be used to distribute content to other DPs
and avoid the content library on the site server. Said differently, the Distribution Manager component would become a site system role that could be transferred outside the site server.
Tnx for comments, answers or suggestions.
Patrick

There is no way to avoid that the contentlib will be placed on the site server.
I don‘t agree that storage cost is high. It might be true for fast storage, but that‘s not needed for it.

Sales order cost issue

Hi All,
I need help with the production issue.There are 2 sales orders which have cost recognized in one of the month
but they are not posting to WIP.Can anyone explain me the reason for this problem.
Thanks in advance.
Edited by: Reema Sen on Jun 10, 2009 2:19 AM

Hi,
You will have to enable project manufacturing if you want to collect manufacturing cost on a project. Once you create a project, add this project to a project manufacturing organization through a PJM responsibility. Once you associate project and PJM org you will be able to put the PJM organization in the sales order line created on a Project sales order in Oracle OM. Also, mention the project number in that sales order.
Once this sales order is shipped, run the cost collection program and it will bring in the manufacturing costs to project.
Hope it helps

Costing Issue-Previous Price changes in Accounting 1 tab in Material Master

Hi SAP Experts,
Our Client has an issue with "previous price" field under the "Accounting 1" tab in Mateial master .The issue is that client never did costing to this material XXXXXXwith plant XXXX. But system is showing value in the "previous price" field. We have checked whether previious cost estimate exists. There was no previous cost estimate and still the system updated "previous price" field.
Can anyone let me know in which cases the system updates "Previous Price" field in Material Master ?
Your help is highly appreciated.
Kind Regards,

Hi
May be this material was created with reference to the same material in other plant or with ref to some other material or may be costing run was deleted from CKR1

Costing Issues

Dear All,
             Please give me the solutions for below
u2022     We are having 2 co.codes (A=Biscuit,B=Bread), u2018Au2019 is manufacturing biscuits.
u2022     u2018Bu2019 manufactures bread, but here the issue is, such manufactured bread relates to u2018Au2019
u2022     u2018Au2019 issues material to u2018Bu2019, including fuel.
u2022     Remaining expenditure bear by u2018Bu2019(Production Happens in u2018Bu2019)
u2022     For such manufacturing u2018Bu2019 receives job work charges from u2018Au2019
u2022     Now the issue is how can we give profitability(profit and loss) of u2018Au2019 Bread(manufacturing in u2018Bu2019)How will be arrive the exact manufacturing cost of bread at u2018Bu2019
u2022     Coming to Co.code u2018Bu2019 How can we calculate Activity Cost(Manufacturing Bread)
u2022     Whether we can do production implementation in u2018Bu2019 co.code without material(Other than Bread Nothing this Co.code will do u2018Bu2019)
u2022     B.O.M is preparing in u2018Au2019 co.code,
u2022     How can we map this scenario:Co.code u2018Au2019 want to see cost of such Bread
u2022     How ca we map this scenario: Co.Code u2019Bu2019 want to see the cost of activites (machine cost, labour cost,setup cost)(remain that material from u2018Au2019 co.code including fuel and u2018Bu2019 manufactured bread)
u2022     Atlast u2018Au2019=Biscuit Division wants Finished Good of Bread Cost(Which is manufactured in u2018Bu2019)
u2022     u2018Bu2019=Bread Division Wants of Bread Manufacturing Cost(without raw material and fuel supplied by u2018Au2019=Biscuit Division) (Which is Manufactured in u2018Bu2019).
Another Issue:
u2022     While extending material from plant to depot(depot is also a plant)
u2022     Error message is u201CDO want to change the profit center, but in material stock still existsu201D
u2022     Plant (phillaur) and Depot(ahmadabad),Phillaur having one profit center,ahamdabad is having another profit center.
u2022     Here it should allow the material(plant-phillaur) to extend (depot-ahmadabad).
Another Issue:
u2022     In Vendor Line item Display FBL1N(Profit Center updation is not showing)
u2022     In Customer Line item Display FBl5N(Profit Center Updation is not Showing)
u2022     But in General Expenditure Fd10n(Profit Center is updating)

Hi,
The Co codes A & B can transfer the material using the inter comany transfer scenario which will rasie bill to the supply company & do the production further process in company B.
If the BOM is in the Company A then if the production is in B then you can transfer the price to other company using the functionality Transfer Pricing control.
Bu2019 receives job work charges from u2018Au2019 this case you create the A & B as vendor as raise the service PR for the job done by A to B & once raise the Bill do the SES for accept bill then invoice to A.
The pricing control can be determined seperately for both CC A & B.you can get the COGM for both the plant seperately.you define same material code for this & extend to two company code.
See when extending the material you can change the profitcenter for the extended plant,for ex Plant having X profit center & Depot can have Y profit center.
while creating the material master newly you have to maintain this data,if there is any stock exists you cant change the profitcenter,you have to make the stock to zero then change the data.then updtae the stock.
see you can maintain profit center seperately for two different plant it is plant dependent data only thing is no stock should not there.
It will show the line item posted to the vendor & customer in the FBL1N & FBL5N.select the layout from the transaction it will show all option of profitcenter,costcenter,purchasing document everything,select & check.
Regards,
Raj.

Distribution rules issue

Hi,
Could anybody explain what is distribution rule and where it comes into picture. Your help is highly appreciated.
rgds
srikanth rvs

Hi
Periodic repostings, assessment, distribution, and indirect activity allocation are defined using cycles. In a cycle you define the sender-receiver relationships and the corresponding distribution rules.
During periodic repostings, assessment, distribution, and indirect activity allocation, all sender-/receiver relationships defined in a cycle are processed together iteratively. If you want to process hierarchies separately, you must define a cycle for each level of the hierarchy. You then process the cycles in succession.
Use
Distribution:
Reposting of primary costs
Sender cost centers are credited with a primary cost element
Receiver cost centers are debited with a primary cost element
Information on senders and receivers contained in the document
List of origins not maintained in the CO document
See TCodes S_ALR_87005903 - Define Distribution

SCCM 2012 Distribution Point Issue

Dear Team,
Hi, we deploy another Distribution point on other server on same subnet/LAN. but it show errors and progress run daily but not successful.
durranifaisal

Hi, did have some issues before when installing remote distribution points. More about that can be found here:
http://henkhoogendoorn.blogspot.nl/2014/07/installing-remote-distribution-point.html
It mentions: I did choose "Install and configure II if required by Configuration Manager" during installation, but IIS was installed already on servers. I did install BITS on servers also, because this seems to be needed (installation can be failing
otherwise). Strange thing, because BITS is no prerequisite at all? What I did NOT however is installing RDC as a prerequisite. Therefore files couldn't be replicated after all.
The issue described above where you can only add 2 roles is not known to me. Maybe server must be restarted or prerequisites are not in place? Like to hear the answer as well..

Interface OSPF cost issue

Image link (the image above looks distorted in the post preview): http://fodder.s3.amazonaws.com/ospf-cost-diagram.jpg
In the test network shown in the diagram I have the following issue that I can't seem to figure out:
Without any modification to ospf interface cost traffic from R8 to 172.16.88.1 (R5) takes R3 --> R2 --> R5 (total metric 67).
This is not ideal because of the f1/0 interface on R2. The path via R3 --> R4 --> R6 --> R5 (total metric 68) is actually preferable but is not selected because of OSPF's baseline inability to distinguish between FastEthernet and greater link speeds.
I am fully aware that I can use the auto reference-bandwidth command on all the routers to fix things but I am testing behaviors of the ip ospf cost command at the moment.
Setting the ospf cost of the f1/0 interface on R2 to 10 changes the path for traffic coming from R8 on its way to 172.16.88.1 (R5). This is desired result. However, the return traffic from R5 continues to use the path through R2 (R2 --> R3 --> R8). This is what is illustrated in the dotted arrows in the included image. R2's interface cost is not being taken into account by R5, which I am assuming is because R5 respects his own interface cost on the link over R2's cost. However, this is producing a sub-optimal return path.
My question is this: Aside from using a route map is there an ospf configuration that I am overlooking that will cause R5 to stop thinking that the path through R2 is preferred?

Hi Colin,
The only way I could solve this was to change the cost on the return path of R5 to R8. It isn't tidy, but setting the ip ospf cost on R2's G0/0 port to 10, changes the cumulative path from R5 to R8.
I changed the reference bandwidth to 1000 in the topology to see how this would changes things. I just learnt that a 'no ip ospf cost' on both int g0/0 and f1/0 on R2, does not change the cost by itself, so had to clear the ospf process in order to affect the cost. Not sure if this is normal behaviour...
With no ip ospf cost configured on R2, and the ref bw changed to 1000, the path from R8 to R5 now takes the optimal path. However traffic R5 to R8 will still take the path through R2. Checking on the cost of G0/0 on R5 the cost is 1.
Great scenario... to get the optimal return path,R5 through R6 to R8, R2's G0/0 port needed manual adjusting to 10, so R5 would not have R2 as the best path to reach R8.
Taking R2 off the shared link of R5 and R6 and having it's own Fastethernet connection to R5 would be the simplest solution? Thanks for sharing Colin.
Cheers, Jeremy.

Production order costing issue in MTO with variant configuration

We have an urgent issue to be resolved in production order costing in MTO scenario.
We have two level configuration with configuration passed from parent to children. The parent has many configurable materials as child(semi finished BOM items) and BOM items of these child has again different raw materials(3 level BOM with last level being all raw materials) . The production order for parent created with reference to sales order.
While costing production order of parent, total planned price is displayed as zero as we have maintained price control std price for all configurable materials(parent & child) with zero price being configurable materials.Configurations are correct in production order material and BOM components(configurable materials). BOM item selections, Item quanties are also correct.
Sales order costing is working fine and rolled-up correctly as per costing settings. We have looked at costing configuration for production order and did not find anything unusual.
Kindly suggest possible reasons for not showing costing result in production order as per configuration copied from sales order or any possible configuration or master data likely missing ?
Thanks in advance.
Kind Regards
Ganeshan Kalembeth

Dear GANESHAN KALEMB,
Kindly open production order in change mode and reschedule order, cost order, check material availability and check capacity availability.
after doing this in main menu goto > log > overview > see error list if there is any, let me know, your problem can be solved.
