DS for Cost estimation(COGM)

Hi Friends,
In ECC, cost estimation (ck40n) - cost of goods mfg(COGM) stored. I would like to bring all 6 components(material cost, labor, subcontract, depreci,other over heads..) incurred per unit . I would like to bring rates info to BI system.
Data stored in ECC tables KEPH & KEKO.
What datasources are helpful to bring rates to BI ?
Thanks,
naresh

created database view based on 2 tables.
Next created custom datasource and enhanced datasource with cost fields via append str.
Added exit code to populate costs fields.

Price for Cost Estimation - Info Records

Hi All,
We need a clarification on how system picks the price for COST ESTIMATION with following setting in Valuation Variant.
1.Valuation Price from USER EXIT
2.Price from Purchasing Info Records
3.M A P
4. Planned Price 1
Sub Stratergy.
1.Effective Price from Purchase Order
2. Net Quotation Price
3. Gross Quotation Price.
If we have 3 info records with the same validity date and different price in each for three vendor, what price will system pick for calculating the stand cost estimation.
We have activated Material Ledger and we in ECC 6.0.
Do suggest.
Regards,

Hi ajai,
I agree with your point,we have 3 info record for a material and 2 are valid as such. The price maintained in two info records are as 7.5 & 1.0 respectively(valid info records).
The last price in the purchase order (of the info those records) are 0.41(dated on 09.04.2010) & 0.2(dated on 19.04.2010) respectively, but when we execute the cost estimation the system picks the price of 7.5 not the least price of 0.2(as its the latest purchased price).
Do let us know why and of what logic the system picks the highest price.
Do revert.

Moving average price of subcontracted material not picked for Cost estimation

Hi Experts
I have the below scenario:
Finshed Product A has components B, C.
C is a subcontacted material and it has its own BOM with components D & E.
We are maintaining moving average price for the subcontracted material C, (because the subcontracter is adding X & Y in addtion to the components D and E, which are sent from us).
In the mateial maste of C, Procurement type is F and Spl. procurement type 30 are maintained.
When i do costing for the Finished product A, moving average price of C is not picked up (where as system calculates the std cost for C by adding the values of D & E and purchase info record price).
Is there any way to Calculate Price of A by using the mvg avg price of C.
I maintained the below valuation variant settings.
If i remove the spl. procurement type 30 in the material master of C, it picks up the mvg. avg price. but it affects the MRP planning of items D & E.
Please advice.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Bala

Hi Big choi
Thanks for your response.
I understand.
1. if we maintain spl. procureent key 30, system calculates standard cost based on raw material and service charges.
2. If we don't maintain spl. proc key, it considers the material as purchased and picks the mvg avg price from material.
But, is there any way to pick the moving avg price from material master eventhough i maintained the spl. procurement type 30?
Thanks
Bala

Error: no product cost estimation possible, at the releasing for accounting

Hi Guru,
while releasing for account in billing document for the finished product.Shows Error as:"no product cost estimation not allowed". Thou I cheked configuration checking of costing key in COPA and costing variant of relevant one looks fine. Plz guide me further more configuration and basic settings needed in to solve this task.
Thanking u in advance
Murali.

Pawan,
Thanks for your quick reply.
I have done those change also, still it is coming same as " No Product cost estimate was found". check you costing key 100 in COPA configuration. i have checked costing key configuration , in that costing varinat PPC1, Costing Version 1, Period/Indicator as "Current Standard cost estimate Acc. to entry in Material Master" .
How to fix this, guide me

Table for Valuation Price from USER EXIT - Cost Estimation

Hi All,
Can you let us know from where the system picks the price for VALUATION PRICE from USER EXIT when we have following setting in valuation variant
1.Valuation Price from USER EXIT
2.Price from Purchasing Info Records
3. Planned Price 1
Sub Stratergy.
1.Effective Price from Purchase Order
2. Net Quotation Price
3. Gross Quotation Price.
Now when we execute CK11N for a material, the system displays a cost price as 316 Euro/ unit.
But Standard price is 290 euros, info record price is 294 euros & planned price 304 euros.
Our previous cost estimation ( period 1, current period is 5) was 316 euro/unit (which was not correct), so deleted the cost estimation with CKR1 and try to rerun the cost estimation to update the value (new price), but still the system is picking the old price.
Can you let us know from where does(transaction code & table) the system is picking the old values.
In CK11N Material valuation (Valuation tab) its showing as Valuation Price from USER EXIT.
We have activated Material Ledger with price control "s"and we in ECC 6.0.

Hi,
Where & how can i find the exit.

Hi,
You use overhead calculation to allocate overhead through percentage-based or quantity-based overhead rates. The basis for the allocation is the primary cost elements that you posted as overhead costs. In the manufacturing industry, for example, these are usually the labor and material costs.
To perform an overhead costing, you need to define control data during Customizing and include this in a Costing Sheet. The Costing Sheet combines all parts of the overhead costing and determines the rules for calculating the values to be posted. The Costing Sheet is comprised of a Calculation Base, Overhead Rate, and Credits. The Calculation Base defines the primary cost elements to which a particular overhead is to be applied. The Overhead Rate determines to what extent the percentage-based or quantity-based overhead rate should be applied to the direct costs. It also specifies under which conditions (dependencies) the overhead rate is to be applied. For example, you can calculate a defined overhead rate for each plant by specifying a plant dependency. The Credit specifies the credit object and the credit cost element. When overhead is applied to an order in the actual, another object is credited at the same time (such as a cost center or another order). You allocate the overhead using a special overhead secondary cost element (category 41).
You can apply overhead to both plan and actual costs, or based on commitment data. Additionally, overhead may be applied to many orders simultaneously using a collective processing.
Use this transaction to apply actual overhead all orders for a plant or all plants.
Thanks,
Rau

Cost Estimation Through Two PIR valid for same material

Hello Everyone
I am trying to costing strategy with PIR (Purchase Info Record). Just to check whether its working right or not i have only choosen sub strategy 'Effective Price from Quotation'. My problem is we have got more than one PIR for the same material from different vendors (both have valid dates). My first question is how system will calculate if both PIRs for same material is valid with different prices.
My expectation was that system should pick up the price from PIR which has regular vendor flag ticked in PIR master record but this is not the case. System is picking up the price from the other PIR although i don't know the logic. I am observing system is picking the lower price (as i tested two materials) in both cases. Can anybody guide me how can i make sure that system picks up the price from PIR which has regular ticked or can anybody suggest something elsethat which is right sub strategy to use for PIR?
Thanks in advence

Hi Young Sun
The link really helped me a lot to understand the process how system is picking up price. We don't use source list and quota requirement. I have noticed that system will not consider regualr flag tick in PIR for costing unless you you configure at backend in
Material Logistics->Purchasing->Source Determination->Define Regular Vendor
Once i have activated that tick system is working fine and picking up the price from regular vendor flag. If regular vendor is not ticked system will go vendor with lower price.
@Imdad: Thanks for your kind help as well and input.
Many thanks again.

Error while doing Std.cost estimation.

Hallo gurus,
I am facing one problem while doing Std.Cost estimation.
Let me explain in detailed..
I am doing costing estimation for a Product. This product contains both Bought out Material and Customer Supplied Products.But both are coming as Material class as Raw material.
But Overheads to be calculated differently for those means for Bought out product - 1.5% and for Customer supplied Products-5%.
So i have created one Overhead Key and the same is attached to Overhead
Group and this overhead group is attached to a respective material.
In Costing sheet for overhead i have selected Dependency D010 and maintained the same along with Overhead key..
But while executing CK11N, system is not calculating the same.
Pls through some light on this....
Advance Thanks..
Regds,
Janardhan.

Did you attached the costing sheet in costing variant?

Shipment Cost Estimation Report

Hi Experts,
There is an existing report which is very helpful regarding most transportation details. You can pull information at the delivery or item level of all types of shipments in one place. We use this to review what shipments we need to process to cost documents and transport POs.
Another report shows all of the information except information on what the actual cost calculations have been. A report is available which details the cost calculations but this report is not available until after the cost document has been created which is too late to assist in the shipment costing process. This T code is VI12 and it shows each cost type separated out based on the calculated rate.
Using T code VT02N from the shipment cost estimation button, this is the information we need to merge it in the existing report.
Please can anyone advise on this situation how to do this enhancement.
Do we need any other information from the client for this issue.
Thanks for your help.
With Regards,
Ruby.

Hello,
Would VI11 answer your question, there are also additional fields in the ALV catalogue that can be added to the layout?

Regarding Cost Estimation

Dear All,
While doing the Cost estimation for a Product i am getting the below mentioned error..
Cost estimate for material W275271299NEW / plant LEP1 is incorrect
Message no. CK168
Diagnosis
The system found errors in the cost estimate of material component W275271299NEW from plant LEP1.
System Response
The results of raw material cost estimates that have errors are not used in the product just costed. Only cost estimates that do not have errors or that were released are used in cost rollup.
All assemblies that contain material W275271299NEW from plant LEP1 in their structure are indicated as incorrect.
The message sets the costing status of the assembly to 'costed with errors'.
Procedure
Eliminate the error at the highest low-level code.
The Material W275271299NEW is Scrap material. That is generated at the time of Production. this material i have mentioned Negative in BOM.

Material cost estimation in COPA

Hello Everyone
I have question regarding how details of cost Estimate will flow to COPA Report.
Variance of Product cost will flow in COPA through PA Transfer Structure and its flowing on my report. However, I want to flow COGM (break up of the cost components) on COPA reports.
I have done below steps but itu2019s not flowing.
I have maintained Define Costing Keys for Accessing Material Cost Estimates. ( I have maintained 3 key with different Period Indicators.
A. Released Standard cost estimate matching goods issue
     B. Current standard cost estimate to entry in Mat
     C. Material cost estimate matching posting date.
Assign costing key in material ledger and i activate material ledger in actual costing/ material ledger.
I have chosen table lookup with MBEW on source fields in u201COriginu201D tab with        MATNR, BWKEY and BWTAT as field and in assignment I have take VPRSV.
Maintain another with same field name in Source and selected KALAWI in Target fields.
            And assigned the costing keys to key for accessing material cost to step1
I have assigned Cost Component structure to operating concern. ( I have created
Value fields which shows the details for COGM in Cost sheet and maintained the same in it.)
I have maintained external material group and assigned to Material master.
After doing all the above steps Material Ledger TAB is getting populated on the Material Master but when I run the Standard Cost Estimate its not showing details for Cost of sales in COPA.
Please do let me know if I need to do any additional steps with.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Srinu,
By activating Material Ledger without knowing about it and without knowing it's relevancy to the client's business process....YOU DID A BLUNDER MISTAKE
Materia Ledger along with Actual Costing need to be activated if you want to go for Actual Costing inaddition to Standard Costing.
"""Once activate Material Ledger for any Plant, you willl not be able to de-activate""".
In which client are you doing this? It it in only Golden Master, just immediately deactivate ML. If you have already copied the customization request to Unit Testing Client, you cannot do anything there, but don'g transport it to Quality Server.
When you activate ML, many things right from basics will change...for example Price Indicator in Material Master (S or V). Hell lot of descipline is required during Period-End closing etc.
YOU SHOULD NOT ACTIVATE MATERIAL LEDGER UNLESS THE BUSINESS PROCESS REALLY NEEDS IT -- this only suggestion from my side...
First you deactivate and come back to know about Costing Key...

Standard cost estimation after goods movement when material ledger is activ

Hi!
our client is activated material ledger, for some materials standard cost estimation is done till marking but not released.
goods movements have been posted for those materials.
Now system is not allowing to release the standar price for those material in the current period, as material ledger expects same price for entrie period.
what is the alternative way to update the standard price for those materials ( with out reversing the goods movements).
regs,
ramesh

Hi Ramesh,
When you are using Material Ledger, after goods movemnets for materials, no need to change the standard cost estimate as Actual costing run will take care to derive the PUP price.
If there is no standard cost estimation release for sold materials (e.g.FG), you will get an error message duirng the billing document release to accounting. To aviod this error, if you are using split valuation (valuation types) and mixing ratios (CK91N & CK94), try with the below steps:
Create a new valuation type for the same material
Crate CK11N & CK94,
Run CK11N
Run CK24.
Then release the billing document.
Let me know if you need more details.
Thanks & Regards,
ADI

Changing Cost Estimation ( ML activated)

Hi All,
We have ML activated and we have Price Control as "S" for all ROH, HALB & FERT Materials.
The intention was to have one Cost Estimation per year and difference to be posted to variance.
The Material Valuation Strategy is
1. Valuation Price from User Exit
2. Price from Info Record
3.MAP
4.Planned Price 1
Now our issue, in June 2011 we have executed cost estimation for some new materials(say one Material ABC - Cost estimation must be $12000 but it is updated as $19000 due to wrong price maintenance) with wrong price and made goods movement.
Now when we want to correct the cost estimation by executing a new cost estimation( i.e. we want to overwrite the $19000 by $12000 for the ABC material) by this month( July 2011), but the system is picking the same old cost estimation price (old cost estimation price as $ 19000).
Can you suggest, how we can overwrite the existing cost estimation.
Do suggest.
Regards,
Rex

Hi All
Costing valuation follows the priority you have define. If this is taking 19000 maybe this value is coming from the first option (user exit).
I suggest you to change the priority to take price from planned price 1. Go to OKKN and change the priority for Valuation variant.
...or you have to assure there is no prices from priority from 1 to 3.
Regards.

Difference in the Material variant BOM Qty during Standard Cost estimation

Hi SAP Experts,
We are trying to estimate the cost for the material variant, but the BOM exploded
during the cost estimation, the quantity differs slightly with the BOM exploded
during CU50.
What might be the reasons for difference.
Please give your valuable Inputs.
Thanks
Best Regards
Siva

Dear Mr.Kumar,
For any material in the material master , for Price
Control indicator in Accounting 1 View we can either
maintain S or V.
For In House Manufactured materials we maintain S
(Standard price) & for Sub contracted or bought out
items we maintain V(Moving Average price).
During cost roll up & release as far I know we cant
split like 70 & 30% and we can do the costing.
So either you have to use the moving average price for
both inhouse & bought out.
Because 1 material cant have both standard price &
Moving Average price.
Because bought out item's doesnot have standard price.
If your vendor is ready to give the material(Finished
product) using the same amount which you spend for
producing inhouse,then no issue,you can use
standard price.But Practically it doesn't occur.
I hope this will help to clear your doubt.
If useful reward points.
Regards
Mangal
