Do I Need COsting Sheet

Hi all CO Gurus,
I have a scenario where for all cost estimated (std cost), the overheads for General and Admin are based on forecast for current year.
However, the formula actually has a weight factor acctached to it to split forecast overheads between in house manufactured products and trading products.
I have checked in Costing Sheet Config that there is no way I can add a tracing factor to the base.
Any suggestions on this?
Thanks.

Have you specified OH costing sheet under the tab overhead? This costing sheet needs to be specified for the Finished/semi finished field.
Please check if you can see the OH sheet under the valuation tab. Also check if the cost element in OH costing base is showing in itemization.
I think it is a OH costing sheet issue and not subcontracted material issue.

Implementing cost sheets in BW

Hi,
We are planning to provide cost sheets from BW.
I need to understand the following:
1 - What are the datasources needed to implement the cost sheets.
2 - Cost sheet is prepared from costs for a particular product/material from a production order.
3 - So what data I would need to deliver a cost sheet from BW?
4 - Also we need costing sheet per Work Center (which is a production line) instead of material wise. How can that be done?
Please educate me for the best possible alternatives.

Hi Debanshu,
I am sorry to see that you couldn't get any valuable help for your question about how to extract costing sheets.
I have a similar requirement here in the company I work for. Have you make any progress in the costing sheet extractor? Any idea will be welcome. If I find or develop anything that I think can be useful for you I'll let you know.

Error while entering the Overhead percentage 0.3693 in Costing Sheet

HI,
While defining costing sheet in the system,i need to give the overhead percentage as 0.3692 as per the client requirement.but the system is giving the below error.
Input should be in the form __,___,__~.___V
Message no. 00088
Diagnosis
Your entry does not match the specified input format.
System response
The entry in this field was rejected.
Procedure
The entry must comply with the edit format. The following edit format characters have a special meaning:
"_" (underscore)
There should be an input character at this point; this should be a number for numeric fields.
"." (decimal point) (applies to numeric fields)
The decimal point occurs here (setting in the user master record).
"," (thousands separator) (applies to numeric fields)
This separator occurs (optionally) for more than three figures. Depending on the setting in the user master record, it can be a period or a comma.
"V" (applies to numeric fields)
The operational sign appears here. If used, it must by at the right margin of the field. The sign is either "-" or " "(space).
"~" (tilde) (applies to numeric fields)
As of and including this character, leading zeros must also be entered. Otherwise, this character has the same meaning as an underscore. Leading zeros need not be entered on the left of the tilde. They are not output at this position.
All other characters have their normal meanings and must be entered in the same position as in the edit format.
Thanks

hi Sunitha,
this error is related to Decimal Format pls check your setting in country
For 4.7C
SPRO > IMG > General Setting > Define countries in mySAPsystem
For ECC 6.0
SPRO > IMG > SAP Netweaver > General Setting > Define countries in mySAPsystem
select your countries and double click in that there is last field for Decimal Pt. format check that format and try to enter value according to that format because in error it showing 4 decimal and there you may have maintained in two decimal. also check decimal currecy setting. One more reason could be there instead of full stop you may have maintained comma in setting.
thx.

Costing Sheet & Percentage OH Dependancy

Dear All,
Our client has 3 plants & 3 business areas corresponding to each plant.
Now while creating overhead percentage rates, we need to mention Dependacy like OH Type/plant or OH Type/Business area.
My questions are-
a) Which dependancy to be used in the given scenario?
b) We have identified 3 OH rates viz. Production OH, Admn OH & Sales & distn OH. We are creating 3 Costing Sheets. So how many OH rates should be created? Is it 3 OH rates & the dependancy will take into account different % rates as per plant or Business Area? or Should we create 3 x 3 = 9 OH Rates for each Costing Sheet?
Eagerly awaiting for your reply,
Gov

Hi jayram,
I ll give the scenario.
Plant 1000 Business Area 1000
Plant 2000 Business Area 2000
Plant 3000 Business Area 3000
Overheads - 1) Production OH
2) Admin OH
3) Sales & Distn OH
So we felt that we should create 3 costing sheets. It was thought with the intention that we will have 3 different OH percentages. That time I forgot this dependancy factor.
After taking into account your point, I feel that we can work with only one costing sheet. Are you suggesting the same?
Will it take care of different OH percentages in different business areas? Here as shown earlier, the business area is same as plant. So the OH % is same,even you take into account plant or business area.
I think we have to create 3 costing variants & valuation variants for 3 plants.
So from this, what will you suggest?
Thanks,
Gov

Add freight cost in a cross company code scenario using a costing sheet

Dear Forum,
I will like to add freight cost to a material using a costing sheet. The freight percentage is very easy to add and works fine when the cost is added in the company code costing. My problems start when I want to add the freight in the cross-company code costing. I want to setup a cross-company code costing where the freight cost is added to the material in the buying company code and not on the selling company code. The cross-company code costing is setup using special procurement costing keys.
In below costing (CK11N) the procurement costing key is not used.
From the itemization it is shown that purchase info.record 5300067643 is read and the price of 12,97 is determined. There is added 10% in freight coming from the costing sheet.
The freight is shown in the cost component structure as well.
The special procurement type is now changed from ‘20’ to ‘AT´ on the MRP2 screen in the material master. The procurement is now pointing to an internal plant called ‘DCN’.
The costing of material 105050 is now repeated. I get the expected result from changing the procurement key, as I can now see the material is sourced from plant ‘DCN’. DCN is sourcing the material from BJ07, but that is not relevant for the example.
If I now look at the itemization again on the costing in BGA1 I now see that the price is not coming from the info.record. It is the costing in DCN that is used.
I will still like to add the freight cost in BGA1.
How do I add freight cost in BGA1 when I at the same time want to have the costing to be taken from plant DCN?
Please let me know if you need additional information on the customizing setup of the system.
Best regards,
Kim Hjorth Poulsen

Hi Srinu,
Thank You for a prompt feedback.
I have tried to follow Your advise. The special procurement costing key is customized like below.
I have updated the special procurement costing key on the costing 1 view of the material master. When costing the material it is using the special procurement key. This can be seen from the qty. structure tab in CK11N.
It is also costing cross company as intended.
The itemization looks like below.
and the cost component structure looks like below.
Unfortunately the freight is not added in the costing in BGA1.
I noticed that when the costing is made without special procurement key the costing sheet used in the costing is for material components. If the costing is made with the special procurement keys the costing sheet used is for finished and semi-finished materials. The customizing in both of the costing sheets are the same, but only when costing is without the special procurement keys the freight is added.
So unfornutely Your suggestion did not solve the problem.
Best regards,
Kim

Cost Center in the costing sheet

Hello All,
We have set up the costing sheet with the material overhead flowing to a cost center 99XX through cost element 8XXXXX (in the "credit" view of the costing sheet) for all production orders. Now, there is a requirement whereby the material overhead for production orders of a certain division need to be allocated to another cost center 91XX.
Please let me know if this is feasible and if yes, how this can be done?
Thanks,
Rugmani

Hi Rajan
What is the basis of overhead absorption? I mean is it a % of some cost or Quantity based?
Different credits for same secondary cost ele is possible only by way of origin group.... And origin group is applicable to the input components in a BOM and not the Output (Header) material
A. So, if your overhead absorption is based on input materials and if these input materials are specific only to one Division/ Header material, you can achieve what you want with the std SAP functinality. But, normally in a prod scenario, this is not the case... One input material can be used across multiple divisions...
B. If this is not your case, then may be you need to consider CO substitution using a user exit or the relevant exit/BAPI called during CO43
C. Another option is to post the credit to one cost center and then do KB11N to transfer it to relevant cost center.... Info required to do this can be easily made available Like this
1. Double click on the credit line items in a cost center report (S_ALR_87013611) and choose to display actual line items
2. Plug in the partner object using change layout option
3. partner object will show you the Prod Order No... From prod order no, you can get the material and the division....
you can develop an ABAP report to give you this info...

Credit Cost center in a Costing sheet

Hi,
In the costing sheet i have to credit the Overheads to a cost center. Are there any guidelines for doing the same.
What effect does it has on while reporting for the cost center. Can someone explain me the purpose of this 'Credit' Cost center option in a costing sheet.
Thanks in Advance,
Safi

Hi,
In case of Indirect production cost centers,
We get the debits directly from FI through Primary cost elements and through allocations (distribution or Assessment).
These costs need to be Absorbed to Product through Product costing or service orders or projects through Overheads
This absorption will result in:
Manufacturing Order/Service Order/Project etc is debited and
Cost Center is Credited.
at the end of every month there will be debits and credits in the Cost center.
The difference between the Debits and Credits would results in Cost Center variances. These variances will be settled to COPA periodically thereby making Cost Centers a Zero Balance
Effect on Reports:
Though There is Zero balance in the Cost Centers, this will not have any begetive bearing or the reporting.
Because, Cost Reports for analysis of the expenses would be based on Primary Cost Elements (Verification of costs by Origin of the costs) and Varainces between planned and actual comparison also can be done
Hope this will solve your query.
Please award points suitably
Best Regards
Surya

Base plan object costing sheet

Hi,
Pls advice do v need of creating new costing sheet for base planning object separately.
We used the existing costing sheet that v already have attached to our other pricing variants because there's no difference of OH calculation. But in base plan object, it doesn't calculate the OH automatical using the given costing sheet. This is our first time of using base plan object for our price simulations, pls advice how and what should we do to get solve this prob !!!
Thanx

HELLO
IF OH ARE NOT GET CALCULATED , ITS BECAUSE OF YOUR COST SHEET AND NOT OF BASE PLAANING OBJECT .
CHECK THE COST SHEET , HOW AND WHEN IT CALUCULATE OVEHEADS.
BECAUSE BSAE PLANNING OBJECT REQUIRED ONLY COST SHEET ASSIGNEMENT BY MANUALLLY OR BY COSTING VARIANT.
THANKS

Costing sheet assignment to notification

hi there
i would like to know if it is possible to assign a CO costing sheet to a quality notification in quality management? this would be purely for analysis purpose. no real postings would be made.
thanks

hi ashok. thanks for getting back to me on this. the business case is rather long winded but basically they want to calculate costs for analysis/comparative purposes without making an actual posting. they dont want to use a quality order but the notification. so i just need to know if it is possible to use the costing sheet for this purpose to calculate costs without actually posting and secondly if it can be assigned to the quality notification as opposed to the quality order.
thanks.

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

Add fields to catalog costing sheets

Hello,
we need to add some additional custom fields to the catalog for the condition tables related to the costing sheets.
Do you know how can do it?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards.

from SAP Help
Define Dependencies
In this IMG activity, you maintain dependencies. You specify the conditions for overhead calculation, and can use the contents of certain fields in an order, cost center, or a business process. The fields that can be used are provided by the system. For example, you can use a dependency from the plant to determine that a defined overhead is calculated per plant.
To define a particular dependency, select from the usable fields those fields that your overhead is dependent on. The fields you select are saved in a condition table in the system.
A dependency consists of one or more condition tables. To complete the definition of the dependency, specify the condition tables in the order (access order) in which they are to be read. Enter the dependencies defined in this way in your costing sheet. The system determines the valid overhead rates during runtime.
Example
You want to make your overhead percentage dependent on the overhead key in the order, and on the order type.
To do this, you can use standard condition table no. "14" for the overhead key, and no. "36" for the order types.
If you have table no. "14" in first place, and table no. "36" in second place, then the system starts by looking for a percentage during overhead calculation. This percentage is dependent on the order type.
Standard settings
The SAP standard system contains examples of assignments of dependencies to overheads.
Activities
1. To use the dependencies provided by SAP, proceed as follows:
a) Do not change the table assignments.
b) Change the names of the dependencies according to your requirements.
2. If you require new dependencies with new condition tables, you need to define one or more of your own condition tables , and as described below, corresponding new dependencies.
This is for additional or new dependecies -
3. To define new dependencies, proceed as follows:
The system displays an overview of all existing dependencies (access sequences).
a) Choose "New entries" to create a new dependency.
b) Enter an identifier and a name for your dependency.
c) Choose "Accesses"
d) Specify a sequence number, and the condition table whose field contents are to be uesd for calculating overhead.
If more condition tables are to be checked, specify these with correspondingly higher sequence numbers in more rows. This type of condition table listing is an access sequence.
Ensure that the tables are assigned in order, ranging from specific to general criteria.
You can use the exclusive indicator to ensure that the system stops its search for more valid records once it has successfully accessed a table. If you do not set this indicator, the system includes all specified condition tables.
e) Select each row with a condition table, and choose "Fields" to specify fields whose contents are to be used for overhead calculation.
f) Save your entries.
g) In the access sequence overview, choose "Utilities" to generate your dependency.
You can create a dependency without generating it. However, if you use a non-generated dependency in an overhead, the system is not able to determine any valid records for this overhead.

Cost sheet preparation

We have a requirement which needs to be configured in Standard SAP, without using any customized functionality the scenarios is as fallows:
Preparation of Cost Sheet:
Company XX needs to procure material M1 (Like Cartons) for Plant A, plant B which is manufactured by Primary Vendor PV1, PV2.
The price for procurement of material M1 has to be determined using cost sheet
Primary Vendor PV1, PV2 Procures Raw materials and Packaging materials required to manufacture material M1 from Secondary vendor SV1, SV2, SV3
The rates of these materials are added into cost sheet as cost of components.
The rate for these materials varies depending on quota allotted for that particular
Secondary vendor SV1, SV2.
Cost sheet consists of
Cost of Component materials required for mfg Material M1( These components called Feed stock
Materials are procured by secondary vendor)
Working Capital of Primary Vendor
Conversion cost
Discounts
Surcharges
Transportation cost
ETc.....

Hi!
cost component structure is to split your total costs to material ( direct & inditiect), labour cost, over head costs in order to identify seperate costs for analysis purpose. transaction code is :OKTZ.
first you have to define cost component attributes , then assign cost elements for each attributes and then assign this structure to your company code.
while executing the standard cost estimate of materials, total cost will be displayed by splitting the costs according to cost component structure.

Cost Sheet from SAP

Dear All,
I am consulting with Cement Industry client, here we have only one Final Product i.e., Cement. We implemented SAP FI and CO module 2 yrs back but till now they are not using Controlling module properly in SAP. Now they need total costing from SAP, mainly Cost Sheet as per Indian cement industrys format. We are following repetetive manufacturing process, by using Product Cost Collectors. Can any body explain what to check for getting Cost Sheet and useful T.codes please.
Regards,
Prasad

The process in SAP costing is you set a standard cost estimate for a material (say Cement bag) and release it to the material master. The cost estimate shall be with quantity structure (i.e with a Bill of material and routing). This will serve as the standard for all production during the year (or any period you decide). To do this you need to set up a costing variant T-code OKKN)
You also need to design a cost component structure created OKTZ to capture various cost element that would be involved in representing the cost of making the cement bag. This can be tailored to suit the format regulated by the industry.
For e.g
Raw materials to include powder of alumina, silica, lime, iron oxide, and magnesium oxide)
Conversion (kiln operations cost)
Pulverizing
Depreciation (of kiln etc)
Labour cost
Packaging etc.
Once you have assigned, you can run the cost estimate through CK40N collectively or cK11N individually.
Cost sheet or costing sheet within SAP is a terminology used to allocate overheads to products. You can also use this feature (found under SPRO>Controlling>PCP>Basic settings>Overheads) This feature will ensure to transfer cost from cost centers to the products on any preferred basis.

Cost sheet without activity(Product costing)

Hi,
In our company code all earlier created cost sheets have activities, which are assigned in cost element group. And in base of the cost sheet, this cost element group has been assigned.
Now in the new process, for which the cost sheet to be prepared, there are only overheads and no activities.
Is it necessary to create cost element group?
Is it necessary to assign the cost element group in Base?
Any activity to be created by assigning zero value in KP26 for routing purpose?
Please suggest.
Prakash.

Hi,
Yes. You need to assign the cost element group where the base cost shall be available to calculate the surcharge on the basis of overhead percentages.
Activities shall not be found in Costing sheet. It is assigned in work center and KP26, you enter the planned prices. That is separate. In costing sheet you need to define overhead percentages.
Trust this helps much!
Cheers!
