Error in computation of Planned Costs

Hi,
In Plant maintenance module(PM), while checking out the costs for a particular order planned costs values are getting fetched wrongly.
While checking out the prices maintained against the activity type, they were found proper. Also after confirmation of the order, the actual costs values are getting populated properly with right costs.
But planned costs value is differing. This error is found not only in display of order(IW33), but also in the output of IW38 transaction.
Appreciate your early reply.
Thanks

Hi,
Good to know that your problem is resolved.
But the error you mentioned appears may be because of configuration problems.
You should check what is account assignment category mentioned in the corresponding requirement class for the strategy group you have used in the materials master.
Also you should check the settlement profile that you have used for your order types.
The account assignment category and settlement profile maintained, must be set properly so that allowed transactions are executed.
Also, there is problem with the message itself which appears for many reasons. More particularly when you are in MTO / ETO scenario or using WBS to create orders.This make it difficult to check the correct cause of the problem!!

Planned cost in S_ALR_87013105 for rejected item in sales order

Hello Experts
I have a sales order item having reason for rejection (as error). However, the planned cost of this sales order item is shown in S_ALR_87013105 report.
The sales order was created in the month of Feb2011. If I run the report for limited period from 03 to 07 the planned cost is NIL but If I run the same report from Feb 11 till date, it shows the planned cost of material +overheads.
can some body throw light on why the report behaves in this way?
Thanks and best regards,

Use T Code KO12 and see if you've got any annual/overall values planned against the IO.

Please tell what to do if I see this error while opening an plan or while saving this plan?

Error messsge: the enterprise global already contains a table named “Enterprise Entry”.
Do you want to replace the table with the one from the enterprise global, replace all items with duplicates, rename the table in the project, or cancel opening the project.
Please tell what to do if I see this error while opening an plan or while saving this plan?

A-K-J --
The error message indicates that your Project Server administrator has accidentally polluted the Enterprise Global file with local view and/or tables. The solution does not lie with the user. It does not really matter what button the user clicks
in the dialog, since only the Project Server administrator can solve this problem. To solve the problem, the Project Server administrator must do the following:
Open the Enterprise Global file editing.
Click File > Organizer.
On the right side of the Organizer dialog (in the Enterprise Global file), delete any non-enterprise views. There should be NO views named Gantt Chart, Resource Sheet, etc. The only default enterprise view is named Enterprise Gantt Chart, which
should not be deleted.
Click the Tables tab.
On the right side of the Organizer dialog, delete any non-enterprise tables. There should be NO tables named Entry, Work, Cost, etc. The only default enterprise table is named Enterprise Entry, which should not be deleted.
Click the Close button.
Save the Enterprise Global file.
Close the Enterprise Global file.
Close Microsoft Project, relaunch the software, and log into Project Server again.
After completing the above steps, every PM should also exit Microsoft Project and relaunch the software again. Hope this helps.

Exclude Planned Costs - Define Tolerance Limit - Budget Control

Hi,
We are trying to customize our system in order to exclude the planned costs of the project of the budget availability control.
Example: If once I have budgeted and released the project I add a component to the project I do not want to any error message to appear. Error should only appear once I generated the Purchase Requisition for an amount superior to the WBSE budget.
We have been trying with the customizing point "Define Tolerance Limit", trying with different combination of the Activities Groups but we haven't succeed.
Has anybody tried this before? Could anybody give me a hint?
Thanks a lot

Hi,
The moment you save the project (after making changes to your project, say, adding new component), system will check against the budget (since AVAC is already active).
We are trying to customize our system in order to exclude the planned costs of the project of the budget availability control.
We have been trying with the customizing point "Define Tolerance Limit", trying with different combination of the Activities Groups but we haven't succeed.
This is not possible.
As an alternative, what you can do it, before adding the new component to the project activity, you need to update your budget (suppliment) with the expected cost of the componet you are adding. This way, you can avoid this error.

Diff bet Budgetted cost & Planned Cost

Hi,
I created a project with Planned cost of Rs 1000 & then i budgtted amt of Rs 800 against it.But when in cj20n I generate any Purchase requisition against it System gives Error as Error in commitment items.Is always we hv to budget the same amt as in planned cost ?

Planned Costs are not binding but budgets are. You usually do planning first and then refer them to do you budgeting. Commitment check happens on Budget Values.
You can transfer the plan values into budget, you can do this either in CJ40 using Copy View option (copy plan costs) else use IMCCP3.
IMCCP3 is basically used for IM related planning and budgeting but it still works for copying the plan values as budgets.

Plan cost for activity element

My internal activity can calculate plan cost from a workcenter properly , but while I append a activity element(internal) and add the same worcenter and data the activity element does not calculate plan cost , but if I confirm the activity element it gives actual cost.
What possibly be the problem could any one tell me? is there any setting seperately for activity element?

Hi
Thanks. I am using CJ20N and then selecting the activity element I am following the path edit>cost>Plan/actual
When I try to recaulutate the cost by edit>cost>update cost then I get generic error :
"Object was not costed
Message no. CK060
Diagnosis
The system could not find any entries that are relevant to costing.
System Response
The system did not cost the object.
Procedure
Check whether the following objects should be flagged as relevant to costing:
Items in the BOM
Display BOM
Operations in the routing
Control key in the routing
1. Look at the message log.
2. Check whether a quantity was specified in the confirmation."
But while calculate cost for an internal activity it is calculating cost.

Inclusion of planned cost to the material while Invoicing

Hi Everyone,
We are facing a problem, kindly guide me to solve it:
We are purchasing 'X' Material (split valuated) through a Purchase Order in which we did not provide any planned cost.
But after GR we came to know that planned cost should also have been entered in the PO. But in the PO, while creation we did not select any planned cost line for the item. So after approval of PO and GR, we were not able to enter any planned cost.
Now while adding up planned cost during Invoicing through MIRO, we are facing an error message:
Error saving valuation data for material P1S002 0002
Message no. M8829
Diagnosis
Error occurred when the system tried to save the valuation data.
Please guide me how to do invoicing by including the planned cost and booking the planned cost in the material.
Thanks and Regards

Planned Cost is taken from Actual Cost even through there is Baseline Cost

Hi All,
Responsibility: Project Super User
Create Project with fully shared structure
Enter planned cost for 25000 against Task (Define Project scope in detail) with Financial Element as Resource and baseline the work plan.
Now enter the actual cost for 15000 against Task (Define Project scope in detail) and system is computing 15000 in Actual Column along with planned cost as 15000 in planned cost column instead of showing 25000 in planned cost column.
Why system is showing planned cost as 15,000 in planned cost column instead of 25000?
Please help.

Hi
I'm not sure I understand the steps you were taking.
Actual costs should be summary of expenditure items. Those could be labor hours entered on time cards, supplier invoices etc. Those are entered on Project Costing, Distribute and summarize there
I couldn't understand your statement about entering 15000 actual cost on the same page as entering the planned cost for the workplan.

Error in the Transaction CK64 - Costing Run (CK 318 and CK 361)

Hi Everybody,
Please, when I use the transaction CK64 to costing run, i see the following message of error:
1) First Error: CK 318
CK 318 - Cost estimate for material & contains errors -> Planned price
CAUSE
When an assembly was valuated, the system found that the cost component
split of material component &V1& from plant &V2& contains errors.
SYSTEM_RESPONSE
The cost component split with errors is not changed. Instead,
valuation is carried out with a price from the material master. This
result goes into the cost rollup. This happens so that the costing
result of the finished product is still meaningful.
</>Note</> The subsequent valuation is always with valuation variant
&V3&. Valuations with a manual cost component split are not taken
into account. This affects the following two cases:
strategy '8': valuation with manual cost component split
the possibility to calcualte manual cost component splits in addition
to the valuation strategy entered.
WHAT_TO_DO
Analyze the cost component split with errors and solve them.
Where can I found the "cost component split"? Would be a information of Data master material (MM03)?
2) Second Error: CK 361
Value of costing item & in itemization is 0
CAUSE
The cost estimate for the assembly contains item &V2&, which has no
errors, but was costed with a value of zero.
WHAT_TO_DO
Please check item &V1& in the itemization of the assembly concerned.
Where can i found this information of itemization??? I was looking in the data master of the material but i can't find.
Please, how can I solve this problems?
The status of the costing run for this materials is "KF - Costed with errors"

Thank you Rob. I guess our only option is to call each steps of CK40N by separate transactions. Do you know why when calling CK64 (costing) in background, the transaction in BDC will automatically change to CK40N even CK64 is hard-coded?
Thank you very much for your advice.

Planned Costs RFC/FM/BAPI

Hi. I am trying to write a web-dynpro front-end to enter planned costs per period per year per cost element on projects. Does anyone know of a suitable function to use? I have tried the /SAPPCE/BAPI_PPD_POSTCOSTS (ProjectPlanData.PostCosts) BAPI but keep getting an error about "Construction Progress Report Indicator Validity is not defined". This one seemed ideal but I can't get it to work. I have used CJ40 and had no problem entering planned costs. I am also looking at PS_FILL_RPSCO_KEY and HFPT_COEJA_RPSCO but am concerned that I may be missing something by using these alone.
Any experts out there? Thanks!
Shaun.

Activity Type Planning, Cost Center Planning

Hi Friends,
I am learning SAP Controlling. I have few doubts.
1. Activity Type planning (or) Activity Dependent Planning (Cost Center +Activity
type) both are same.
2. Cost Center Planning (or) Activity Independent Planning (Cost Center + Cost
Element +Activity type) both are same.
Thanks,
Rams.N

Activity Planning and Cost planning are different. The first in quantity planning, while Cost planning is Dollar Planning.
While planning cost ($), you can mention, if such cost is activity dependent or not.
The purpose is to derive an actitivity price. This is derived by dividing, the cost by the activity quantity. If a cost center has more than one activity, then the cost need to be associated with the activity. This is where we require to identify, if a cost is activity dependent or not. When you mark a cost as an activity dependent, that cost is fully cosidered while deriving the associated activity price.
The activity independent cost are split amongst activities to derive the price for each activity. This step is done before the activity prices are computed.

Error in Commitment Check - see costing log

I've encountered error when saving after release of wbs. "Error in commitment check (see costing log)", this error hinders me to create PR for several wbs. please advise how to resolve this issue.

I looked everywhere in CJ20N to find this Costing Log and I can't find it or figure out how to open it!!
in my case here I deliberately caused the error by assigning a budget of 95% of the plan --> the plan is all commitment items (material components)
but I want to check that so called costing log and see the errors in it.
Your help is highly appreciated

Plan cost

Dear All,
When i am trying to see my plan cost for an indiviual activity , an error is coming " Network does not have activity account assignment". While when i am trying to see for network , it shows . What may be the reason?
Regards

Hi,
You can see plan cost for an indiviual activity by making customizing setting in transaction OPUV
in network type parameter screen, "Actvty Acct Asgn" check box must be ticked, to see cost at activity level.
Indicator:Account assignment on activity level
Indicator which specifies that the account assignment is to be carried out at activity level.
If you do not set this indicator, the account assignment is carried out at Network header level.
