Exclusion of components from costing in production.

Hi Gurus,
The requirement is not to cost some components in the BOM during production.
One option is to use the Not to cost indicator in the Costing view of the material master but still the component is costed as the planned and the actual costs are calculated and viewed in the Cost Analysis in the Production Order.
Next option is to use the component as a Bulk material but it needs more attention Can any one tell me the consequences of the usage of a bulk materail thereby not costing the material.
Thanks
Anand.

go to cs02
select the component go to Item
In status/lng text tab
In costing relevancy maintain " " blank ( not relevant for costing ) instead of "X" - 100% Relevant to Costing.
during costing run, system won't consider this component

How to change validity from.. to dates in cost centre(production) ?

Dear All,
We have created cost centre(production) on current dates ? Due to this,
We were unable to maintain activity price for work centre.
Message is telling us to maintain activity price for current fiscal year.
How to change validity from date in production cost centre(KS02) ?
Appreciate valuable inputs.
Jeyakanthan

Dear ,
1.Go to Transaction Code KS02 - change cost center and in the next screen go to Menu bar > Edit > Analysis Period.This will pop up another window - in this you can change the analyis period and save it.
2.Or Use the tcode OKEON from the hierrachy choose the cost center in the basic data tab u will see one button named Validity period.Change the validity there.
3.You can do it using 'KSH2' transaction.Open the hirarchy and select your cost center. now select the business area and new hirarchy node where you want to move it. and click on 'INSERT AT LOWER LEVEL' to move the cost center from one business area to another.
Try and check

Hi,
First try to figure out the object type from the text obtained by following steps above.
Goto Development server ,create fresh request (using transport connection) , transport to QA and then in to production.
After successful transfer of the request for this object ,try to reimport the request which caused error and it should go smoothly without any error.
Hope it helps.

Restrict Deletion of Components from Service Order

Hello All,
I noticed that I am able to delete the components from the Components tab of a Service Order even after I have completely issued the components.
Is there a possible way to prevent deletion of components that have already been issued..?
I think I can use the Business Transaction RMKL in the system status GMPS. But I guess this will prevent deletion of those components which have not been issued to the service order.
What would be the best way to prevent deletion of components that have already been issued...?
Thanks
Jensibo

Hello All,
I don't know if you all received the last reply I posted against this thread... coz I am not able to find it in the thread. I had asked for your comments on any repercussions that may occur because of this config.
Anyway, the thing is, I followed Narashiman's suggestion and although I did not use the exact config he pointed me to, I used the config in the following nodes:
1.) Production --> Shop Floor Control --> System Modifications --> Define System Message Attributes
2.) Production Planning & Process Industries --> Process Order --> System Modifications --> Define System Message Attributes
and added an entry: Application Area = CN, Message No. = 750-Component & item & was already withdrawn and Category = E.
Having done this, the system did display the "Component & item & was already withdrawn" message when I tried to delete a component that was issued to a service order, but it did not delete the component from the service order. I was able to save the service order with the issued component still in the components tab.
Narashiman,
to specifically respond to your latest reply, I did find the node you pointed me to. But the trouble was that it did not have an entry for CN750 in it. When I tried to add an entry, the system did not let me do so and displayed the error message "Please specify a legal value".
So I went around opening each system message control node and finally found the two that I mentioned earlier that did work for me.
Thanks

Hi Vijayalaxmi,
Following are the steps for transporting the content from DEV to QA
1. Check in the activity into DTR and activate it. Once it is activated successfully it will show green
2. Now go to transport view and release the activity by drilling down in waiting... node.
3. Once the activity is released it becomes available in the Consolidation tab of CMS.
4. Import the activity in consolidation tab
5. Assemble the components in the Assembly tab.
Once you assemble an .SCA file is created in \usr\<SID>\trans\CMS
6. Copy this file manually and deploy it using SDM in QA.
Hope it clears your doubts

Hi Vinay,
As Visakh mentioned, the issue usually occurs because the package runs in 64-bit runtime, however, the Excel driver is 32-bit. According to your another thread, it seems that you use SSIS 2005, right? In SSIS 2005, there is no “use 32 bit runtime” option
for the package executions of a SSIS package job step. In this condition, you have two choices:
Install the 64-bit Microsoft ACE OLE DB 12.0 Provider on the production server. Here is the download link (AccessDatabaseEngine_x64.exe):
http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=13255
Create a CmdExec type job step instead of SSIS Package job step, so that we can call 32-bit DTExec.exe to execute the package within command line. For more information, please see:

Cost of Production BOM in Prodcution Order

Hello Experts,
Here is scenario that i need help :
Assume that we have a Production BOM with two components with a price of $10 in the pirce list :
Parent Item: A0001 ( Price of A0001 is $10)
Components : A0002,A0003 ( Price of A0002 is $0 and Price of A0003 is $10)
When we create a prodcution order for A0001 with a quantity 1000 and close , i noticed that in the summary tab of Prodcution Order and noticed that Actual component cost : $10,000 and Actual cost : $0 and Total Variance : $10,000.
Due to this there is variance in Prodcution Clearing Account. Could you please help me a right approach on how to enter correct cost for Production BOM.
Any help will be appreicated.
Thanks,

To see the cost of production order after settlement to header material

hello guys,
   In make to stock,we settle the total cost of prodution order on header material,right(if we keep as the default rule( distribution rule in order type)?
     If i want to see that cost of production order which we settled against the header material,where should i check it?should i check in material account or somewhere else?
         Thanking you guys in advance.

Dear,
There is a little missunderstanding in your thought.
If the material of price control S, When you do the GR, the STD cost of material is deducted from production order cost, then when you settle the production order, the variance is settled to variance account/PD account. hence the production order cost balance is zero.
Example- Production order cost is 60000
After GR the production order cost balance is 60000-50000 = 10000.
After settlement production order cost balance is zero.
Now your question is where can i see the production order cost?
You can see the production order cost in the production order itself.
In the production order...cost disply option just filter the origin with test settlement and GR.
Then total up the cost, then you can see the cost as 60000.
please come back if you need more help.

What are options for applying non-inventory costs to production orders?

We have a non-inventory costs that need to be assigned to product produced on production orders. There are two processes -make-to-order and make-to-stock.
Currently we use activity rates to apply labor and burden costs to our production. We use separate cost centers where needed to ensure that we have sufficient granularity to our activity rates applied.
We have a few specific issues where we need to understand the options for applying costs -
1) We have freight and duty costs related to inbound raw material that we want to assign to our final product. The amount assigned may be either a specific amount (or a specific amount per model), or a % of the total cost on that production order.
2) We have material on the production order bill of material that is called out by quantity and we are using discrete backflush, however we have found there are issues with the accuracy of the quantities. We want to have this product ordered using KANBAN (bin ordering) and have the value relieved from inventory when the bin is issued to production. The cost on the production order is envisioned to be an average amount for the product - or an average amount by model.
3) We want to have a portion of cost for production scrap included in the cost of each product produced. (similar to freight and duty).
In all cases- the amount can change depending on analysis from accounting regarding freight and duty costs (these fluctuate depending on the cost savings we achieve with combined loads and depending on the amount of out of country sourcing), the scrap amount may change periodically depending on the initiatives to reduce scrap on the production floor, etc.
We currently use three activity types, labor, burden and tooling. It is my understanding that there is a limitation in SAP that keeps us limited to 6 activity types.
My questions are:
Are we limited on activity types? these are an option to apply additional costs, but may not be the best option if we want to change the amount applied based on model or apply as a percentage.
Are there other options for applying costs that we can explore? I want to be sure we take into account the various options available before we start down a specific path.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

As clarification- we are using standard costing for our raw material. We currently accumulate the incoming freight in a balance sheet account. This is treated as part of our inventory. We have considered using an activity type with a activity added to the BOM to apply the cost to the production order. Then we could use the secondarly cost element data to book an entry to relieve the freight account on the balance sheet.
Because we use standard costing- access to see production order variance is critical and must be maintained in any process we select. We also use COPA reporting- so the costing information must be able to flow to COPA for the specific orders/products/serial numbers.
We are doing make to order (production order / sales order specific combination) but also looking at a make to stock process - so the method to apply costs must take both of these configurations into consideration.
Rajneesh - you mentioned that I am limited to 6 activities in a work center- but does that mean I can have more than 6 activity types in SAP but only 6 activities in a work center/cost center combination?
Thank you.

Transfer of Costs in Product Cost Collector to COPA

Dear Experts,
Please can you advise me on this current issue I'm having. Below is a description of problem:
Customer is currently using report designed in COPA (KE30) to derive P&L report for using Plant as a characteristic.
This was being done at a time when Product Costing functionality was not being used
All costs (administrative, sales and production costs) were being collected in cost centers
At end of month assessment of cost center values to COPA is executed (KEU5)
Customer is then able to derive P&L report per Plant characteristic
However with implementation of Product Costing, all Production related costs are captured in Product Cost Collectors and not Cost Center
Hence we have no way of assessing or transferring total production costs from Product Cost Collector to CO-PA
We have tried to configure FI/MM PA transfer structure (KEI1) and default account assignment (OKB9) for automatic transfer of costs on goods receipt/issue, however this is not working because the product cost collector is used as the default account assignment for the transactions
So far only material cost valuation of sales/billed materials are possible (which does not address concern)
As a result we have a gap and customer is unable to derive P&L by Plant from CO-PA.
Can you advise if there is a way out, in order to have all Production Cost transferred to CO-PA.
Thanks,
Ola.

Hi Ola
Your Cost centers would be categorized as below
1. MFG Cost Centers (In Plant)
2. Service Cost Centers (In Plant)
3. Few Cost centers (outside plant) Eg: Sales, Marketing, Sales offices etc
At period end
1. Allocate the Costs from SER CC to MFG CC using Distribution / Assessment cycle.
This will make SER CC as zero
2. Calculate actual activity price in MFG CC (KSS2 / KSII)
3. After this, do revaluation of PCC using CON2.. This will make balance in MFG CC as zero
4. Allow the Variances to be updated to COPA by ticking the "Variances to Costing based COPA" in your settlement profile
5. In short, what remains for you to allocate to COPA is the 3rd category of CC.. i.e. you should allocate those CC to COPA whose cost is not included in the cost of product using COPC module

How to show returned components on Issue for Production on a query.

Hi Guru's,
Is there a way to show the items that have been returned (Return Components) on Issue for Production using a query?
Thanks and Regards,
Christian

Hi,
1. Create row level UDF for issue from production order.
2. Assign below FMS to this UDF and set it auto refresh based on quantity.
SELECT T0.[Quantity] FROM IGN1 T0 WHERE T0.[BaseRef] = $[$13.61.number] and T0.[ItemCode] = $[$13.1.0]

Planning Strategy to consumer components from various Sales Orders

Sapers,
It seems that any planning component strategy will not reduce PIRs (Dep reqs). What I means is when you enter a Sales Order that has a component in but is completely MTO the demand from that component is not netted off against other demand that may be planned ?
I needs a solution whereby component demand can be consumed from multiple MTO sales orders that have that particular component in its BOM ?
CAN ANY ONE HELP ?

Milton,
when I applied strategy 70 it would only reduce the PIRs for the Higher level that was producing the dependent demand.
???? The strategy of a component has no impact on the PIRs of a parent. If the PIRs of your parent were being consumed, it was due to the strategy of the parent, not the component.
May be I had some settings wrong but I dont think so
Yes, you must have had some settings wrong. However, I probably misled you, I meant to say 'dependent reservations', not 'dependent requirements'.
We are essentially using parent material forecast to drive demand for components with long lead times
I will assume that when you are saying 'parent', you are not talking about your finished goods. Please confirm.
Let us assume your BOM is FG1 > AS1 > RM1. Let us assume that you do not wish to forecast FG1. Let us further assume that you do not wish to build either FG1 or AS1 until the entry of a Sales order. In this case, you could enter strategy 70 at the RM1 level. You would procure RM1 via forecast entered at RM1. When the sales order was entered, the dependent demand from the FG1 sales order would cause you to generate Production orders for AS1. The dependent reservations from the AS1 productions orders would consume the forecast against RM1.
Now, as I understand your question, you wish instead to
1. Forecast AS1
2. Generate non-convertible orders for AS1
3. Generate convertible orders for RM1
4. Have the forecast in AS1 to be consumed by the dependent reservations of FG1.
I don't believe that there is a standard SAP strategy that meets these requirements. I would actually question why AS1 would even exist as an independent material, but I guess you probably have some legitimate business reason. It also raises the question of how the ATP for FG1 and AS1 would be conducted. Well, I am sure you have already thought this out.
As I mentioned earlier, you could use one of the planning material strategies at the FG1s level to functionally get similar business results.

Transfering the Cost from Cost center to PM Work order

Hi all,
We have a scenario.
we are doing material consumption from storage locaiton to a cost center using 201.
when the material requirement comes from work order, we are doing reverse consumption posting from Cost center to storage location using 202. and then issue the material to work order using 261.
Is there any way, that we can move the cost directly from cost center to work order (skipping the storage location in between).
Thanks in advance.
Piyush

Hi,
I guess Initially you are transferring material (201 movement) from Central Warehouse to Cost Center assigned to each department. After that, if you get any reservation from the particular department work order, you are issuing the components to work order by doing 202 & 261 movements.
You can follow either one way.
1. Without doing 201 movement type, once you create a order, based on reservation you can do 261 movement to order from central warehouse directly.
OR
2. Define storage location, do the stock transfer between storage locations. While creating maintenance order, assign the concern storage location in the order. So from that storage location, you can do 261 movement. Also by Material valuation, you can find the value of materials as well.

Maheswaran.

"not allowed actual overhead distribution ,ORD103601000058)
anyone can help me ?thanks in advance...
Edited by: DUNBAR XUE on Apr 22, 2008 10:53 AM

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.
Cheers.
