Distribution of Cost in Months

Dear colleagues,
I would like to hear your opinions about this case.
Suppose that you receive a year-long consultation from a vendor at a cost of 12.000 EUR starting from 01.01.2011 till 31.12.2011. PO is raised against this transaction at a total cost of 12.000 EUR. Fee is paid to the vendor in advance with 12.000 EUR with reference to PO number in MIRO. But we want to spread the expense of this consultation in months; e.g. 1.000 EUR in January, 1.000 EUR in Februaryu2026.. 1.000 EUR in December.
Although I am not sure if this forum is the right place but how can we manage this situation at SAP?

Hi,
Service PO will satisfy your requirement.
Create service PO with qty and uni 1 AU respectively.Account assi. category as K , and item category as D.
Even you can enter validity period for this PO of 1 year.
then do the Service entry sheet every month of 1 Euro.
Then you can book Miro aganist each service entry also.

Distribution from cost center to order

Well, there are other ways of doing this, than trying to assess using CCtr Assessment Cycles.
You could use a Costing Sheet to collect the costs and apportion to the material. This us the idea behind Overhead Cost Allocation.
Alternatively, you could use an Activity Based Costing template for the apportionment. Create a Business Process and have your Cost Centre assess costs to the Business Process by the end of the month. Now run template allocation and, all the config being okay (this is the catch), you will see this costs on the Production Order / Product Cost Collector / Material, etc.
All of these require some config, but definitely you cannot assess from a CCtr to a Production Order. You are better off defining a Costing Sheet for this one.

The performance of Distribution of Cost Object Hierarchy Costs.

Dear SAP Gurus.
I am checking the function and the performance about Cost Object Hierarchies distribution with Control Through Variance Key.
The number of production orders assigned to COH is about 100,000 per month.
All orders will be closed at current month and new 100,000 production order will be assigned to COH at next month.
My concern is about performance of Distribution of Cost Object Hierarchy Costs
because a huge number of orders will be accumulatedly assigned to the Cost Object Hierarchies.
I think that the COH will be distributed with not bad performance.
(Actually I want that to be OK.)
What's your opinion about that?
Sincerely.
Mahnkwi.

Hi Mahnkwi,
Sender-/receiver-relations should definitely be below 1:1000 or even below 1:500. This depends on other factors like general size of the hierarchy and data to be processed as well. This hierarchy needs to be restructured. In case you do this the
distribution needs to be reversed first.
Below are some other hints on performance in KKPX
- Parallel processing should be used.(note [386508|https://css.wdf.sap.corp/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=0000386508])
- Switch off detail lists since the consume lots of memory.
- Old orders should be archived.
Note [77718|https://css.wdf.sap.corp/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=0000077718] also explains tips to avoid the memory error for transaction KKPX or KKPY. As note explains, you should consider
whether a distribution of the cost elements according to their origin is required; if not, the corresponding indicator should not be set in the costing view of the materials.
If many error message is issued in the error log, this may have bad effect on the memory of your server. In this case, you should make these error message "not to be displayed" by message control in IMG.

Distribution of Costs from CCA to CO-PA

Hi All,
Can someone please help me find a solution to the following scenario?
There is a requirement to distribute costs from CCA to Cust/Prod level in CO-PA.
*The cost allocations factors can only be provided at the Customer Group/Product level.
*Using regular assessment cycles in CO-PA it is possible to distribute these costs to Customer Group/Product level.
*However these costs are to be distributed further to the Customer/Product level in CO-PA based on the revenue value field.
Any suggestions on how this can be done? Can I use top down distribution?
Regards,
KK

Option 1:
Step 1 - create assessment to COPA (KEU1). Ensure that you enter customer group and product in the receiver characteristics (second tab)
Step 2- use top down distribution to distribute from customer group to customer.
Please refer to SAP help on top down distribution to see how top-down distribution works if you want to retain 'product' characteristics. They have given examples.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004/helpdata/en/7a/4c48c64a0111d1894c0000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
Second option:
Step 1 - Carry out top down distribution of the cost allocation factors from customer group/product to customer/group.
Step 2 - Create assessment cycles at customer/product level.
Second option may be a better solution from data volume point of view beacsue top-down-distribution creates two records for sender and receiver in COPA. I am assuming that number of records for top down distribution of cost allocation factors will be less as compared to top down distribution of actual costs from multiple cost centers.
Hope it helps.

Distribution of cost over periods in detailed planning in CCA KP06

Good Day everyone
Please advice how to control distribution of cost over periods in Detailed planning in Cost center accounting. KP06.
When detailed planning is carried out which is integrated with MM, distribution of cost over periods is automatically set (02 distribution as before) and i cannot manually set the distribution key to 0 or 1
We are using ECC6
How can i control manual distribution of plan cost while remaining in Detailed planning.

Hi,
You can distribute your planned costs at activity level based on the distributionkey you specified. The distribution is done for the entire duration of activity depending on the Dist key you select. If you do not put any Dist key, then the costs would be distributed equally across the entire duration of activity. If you want to have equal distribution of costs, you can use DK- SAP020 which distributes on earliest dates of activity using Factory calender. If you want you can also define your own DK in SPRO under: Production->capacity requirements planning->operations->capacity requirements->distribution.
Hope this clarifies..
Best regards..

How much does the iphone cost each month

How much does the monthly plan cost?? How do I find out how much??

There is no monthly cost from Apple... the iPhone is a one time purchase cost.
Monthly costs are for service from the carriers. Contact the carrier that you intend to use and ask them.

Actual cost distribution in cost object hierarchies

Hi all,
I cannot distribute the actual costs collected on a cost object hierarchy since the costs are retrieved from an assessment cycle with a cost element with category 42 (assessment).
I would like to assign my production cost centers balances to cost object hierarchy and then distribute it with transaction KKPX - Distribution of cost object hierarchy costs.
Would someone have any idea how I could proceed?
Thanks in advance.

How much does Student CC cost per month if you are a returning member?

Last year I purchased the CC, for $200, a first time member discount, this year, the price nearly doubled without me knowing. I was not aware that it would cost nearly $400, for a student, to have the CC. I can only imagine how much other consumers have to pay for it. Now, the website does not say how much it cost per month for a returning consumer, only for a first time member. I would like the prices to be laid out in front of me so I see where my money is going. It is upsetting to find out that a program doubles the next year you buy it. Also, does the price increase every year a consumer returns? Thank you.

GRR3 report is not showing cost centers monthly wise totals

Hi,
we are having cost center report for full year company code currency report which was working in R3 system. after upgrade it is not showing monthly wise total currency values but when drill down it to actual line item level it is showing all totals. can anybody hlep me to identy issue.
Thanks,

Dear Venu
Check any other standard summarisation report and see whether they are giving data or not. If not you need to implement note 1817039 to fetch summarisation data. But before that I suggest once again you do data collection upto the period and try running your report.If no success then read the note and apply it.

HOW TO DIVIDE THE COST PER MONTH IN CONTRACT WHICH IS PER YEAR

Dear all,
i am triggring a project with reference to a quotation and i get the planned cost in
of the project in my quotation.So this cost of the quotation is for a year assuming the duration of the project is one year.
i am copying a contract document from this quotation in which the monthly billing
plan is there.here it is again multiplying for 12 months whereas i want it to divide it
by 12.can some body throw light for me to get a solution for this problem.
Assured reward points for timely support
Best regards,
R.Srinivasan

I think the answer is very simply that you should be using a 'milestone' billing plan rather than a 'periodic' billing plan. The milestone billing plan divides the total net value of the line into the milestones determined by the milestones in your WBS element, network, manually maintained in billing plan screen, or from a reference milestone billing plan. The periodic billing plan instead creates a billing periodically for the entire net value which in essence multiplies the amount by the number of billings in your plan.
You mentioned cost. If you want to divide cost across the term of the contract, you will need to look at CO functionality such as networks, service orders, RA, or other cost planning and accrual tools.
If you are trying to bill in accordance with your costs, you need to use resource related billing which can be integrated with milestone billing.

Re-distribution of cost

Hi gurus,
My client wants to capture costs of software maintenance by the computer number(system no.) which is in turn assigned to one particular cost center.
Monthly transactions posted to GL a/c i.e computer maintenance.
Wants to set up as a month end activity.
Any suggestions as to what is the best way to do it
Surya

hi sunoj,
He wants to allocate certain percentage to each system.
Like if the total expense is S$10K then system1-2K,system 2-3K and so forth.
At the point of entry they will enter a general system and later as a month end activity it should repost to the respective system nos.
They want to be able to extract such expenses by system no.

Distribution of Cost to Production Orders

Hi Experts
I have spent some additional expenses during production. I want to distribute that amount to all the production orders in that month.
Please explain the steps with transaction codes
Thanks in advance
Regards
Bala

Another option would be to use actual activity price calculation. You can have the activity prices recalculated for the period and make an adjustment posting to the production orders for the difference. The system calculates the actual activity prices by taking the total spending for the cost center for the period, splits the spending between the various activity types, and then divided that spending by the actual activity quantity.
To use this process you must first enable actual activity price calculation for the planning version (OKEV). You must also make a setting for the activity types you want to revalue in KL02. Set the actual price indicator to 5 for those activity types. If you've already made postings in the current year you will need to maintain this setting in KP06.
The period end closing transactions are as follows:
1. Execute Splitting (KSS2)
2. Calculate activity prices (KSII)
3. Repost at actual prices (CON2)
thanks,
