Free PO with shipment costs from shipment cost document

Hello,
We have a scenario where materials is received free from vendor but shipments costs are still paid to the vendor.
For shipment costs, we are creating inbound delivery against PO, then Inbound shipment and inbound shipment cost document.
The requirement is that shipment costs should get updated in Moving avg price.
But If I am marking Purchase order as Free, shipment costs are also not getting updated during GR as system also considers shipments free of charge.
Is there a way to handle this problem.
We are creating GR through vl32n and not through MIGO.
Regards
Karan

Hi,
You can try this solution.
1.Do not tick the free indicator
2.Create a condition type for discount and put 100% discount for that condition.
3.Create a condition type for shipment as a value (delivery cost) without accruals tick in the codition type(customizing).
4.Enter the shipment cost for this condition.
5.Set the pricing procedure in such a way that the gross price of the PO will not consider this shipment cost.Hence the gross price of the PO will be zero (Free of cost) but the net price will consider the shipment cost.
This shipment cost will get loaded on to inventory.
As you have defined the shipment condition type as delivery cost condition type , you can change the vendor in details of the condtion if required.

Allocation of cost from service cost center to production cost center

Dear sir ,
Will I use to distribute the cost from service department to production department and that cost centers also using for activity planing will get currect result in product costing ?

Hello,
Can you clarify what you want to do ?
Allocation of cost from service cost centers to production cost centers can be done with the help of Assessment / Distribution cycles and you can do a activity planning using the same costs as well. The steps for activity planning would be as under:
1. Create primary cost planning in the service and production cost centers (KP06)
2. Create activity planning in the production cost centers (KP26) without any rate
3. Run assessment / distribution cycles to transfer cost from the service cost centers to production cost centers (KSUB / KSVB), in case you are not transferring based on activity quantity then also do SKF planning in KP46
4. Run plan cost splitting in case you have more then one activity type (do config for splitting structure beforehand) (KSS4)
5. Calculate Plan price for the production cost center activity types (KSPI)

To calculate cost from a cost factor to another

Hi,
Can we calculate cost from a cost factor to another?
ex:
A,B,X,Y,Z are cost factors
A is a combination of 3 cost factors such as X+Y+Z=A
B= 2.25 % of A.
How can we achieve this through pricing?
Regards,
Sri

Hi,
Did you get a solution for the cost factor calculation that you had mentioned? If so, can you please share it with me? I am having a similar issue and am not sure how to approach this.
Thanks,

Is there a free software to remove watermark from a pdf document?

What are the free softwares to remove watermark from a PDF document ?

No. The watermark is placed there by the owner of the document. Contact them. If you are perhaps referring to watermarks that appear on scanned documents, you need to purchase the scanning program to remove those. In as much as your information is pretty sparse that's all I can advise you on.

Is there a way to populate an InDesign document with Pantone colors from a .csv document?

I have a CSV document that inputs copy information into various labels we have set up in InDesign, but we also have Pantone colors that we put into this document. Currently, it just imports the color number and we manually change the color ourselves, but is there a way to automatically populate the colors into the document?

Hi,
Here is some code you may want to play with
Array.prototype.contains = function ( object )
var i = 0, n = this.length;

return true;
return false;
function createLabels() {

Secondary costs from WBS to an AuC

Hi,
1. I have executed Assessment[KSU5] that actually settled costs from secondary cost element[800099] to a WBS element [AAA]
2. Now I am trying to settle costs [which is secondary] from WBS element [AAA] to an AuC using CJ88 and I am getting below error
3. Just for info in allocation structure Z1, I have given settlement cost element for WBS, but still I am getting below error
Any advises/ideas, thanks
Complete allocation structure Z1
Message no. KD503
Diagnosis
During settlement, the system puts the sender debits into groups (assignments), which are settled using the same settlement cost element. The settlement assignment is made in the allocation structure, which is stored in the settlement rule for the sender (under settlement parameters).
Cost element 800099 cannot be assigned to a settlement cost assignment in allocation structure Z1, and therefore it cannot be assigned to a settlement cost element.
Procedure
Possible solutions are as follows:
If the posting under cost element 800099 was made to the sender because of an incorrect entry, and you can reverse the posting, and do not need to update the allocation structure. You only need to reverse the incorrectly assigned posting before repeating the settlement. Exception: For an investment measure with a line item settlement, you need to extend the allocation structure, even after the reversal.
If the posting was made correctly, you can do the following:
a) You can assign a different allocation structure to the sender: In the master data maintenance for the sender, choose "Settlement rule -> Goto -> Settlement parameters" and then enter a different allocation structure.
If necessary, also check whether the correct allocation structure is entered in the settlement profile. The allocation structure is defaulted in the settlement profile when you create sender master data or when you maintain the settlement rule.
You can update allocation structure Z1

Through MM, contract is created (ME31N) whereby the settlement G/L accounts are identified.
The contract then is released through MM with TCode ME21N which prompts Commitment Costs to be entered, after which the Service Entry Sheet SES through TCode ME81L which then automatically updates into the WBS.
Through WBS, CJ88 would be the TCode you would have to use for settlement.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

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.

Allocation of cost from one business area to another business area

Hello friends,
Client Requirement: They have 5 business areas. one is for Head office and other 4 are business operations. Their head office expenses are booked under various cost centers in H.O Business Area. Now they want to allocate all H.O expenses to other business areas where business operations are carried on.
currently all allocations are made manually. now they want to incorporate in SAP.
is it possible to allocate the expenses which are booked under one business area to other business area???
pls give your ideas for how to allocate those expenses.....

They didn't have profit centre. so i cann't go for that option
Each operation area has many cost centres and internal orders... i have to allocate the costs from the cost center to internal orders.... if it is a same business area there is no problem we can create assessment cylce and allocate the cost.... the problem comes only when the allocation needs from one business area's cost center to other business area internal orders
for that the solution might be create Secondary cost element As you said and by using assessment cycle we could allocate the costs...

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

Allocation of cost to different cost center

Hi Techies,
I have to allocate cost from one cost center to different cost center according to percentage (%). Company wants to show same cost on sender and then breakdown according to % on receiver cost center.
Example: Company wants to allocate cost from CCenter A to Ccenter B1, B2, B3.... according to % like 74.1% to B1, 14.8% to B2. Now which allocation functionality (Assessment, Distribution) I should use to solve this problem. I would really appreciate if you have method or process step to perform this process.
Thank You,
Kenny

Use transaction KSU2 to call the Assessment Cycle.
Click on "First Segment" and in the segment header, under Sender Values, select Posted Amounts and key in 100% (since you wish to assess all the costs). Under Receiver Tracing Factor, select Fixed Percentages.
Click on the "Senders/Receivers" tab. Now under "Senders", do an F4 (dropdown list) in the Cost Centres field and select your Cost Centres (or groups).
Similarly click on the Cost Elements and dropdown to select your Cost Elements or groups.
Now under Receivers, in the Cost Centre field, key in the Cost Centres you wish to post costs to.
Click the next tab Sender Values
Here, enter Share in % as 100% (default) and under version, enter 0.
Now click on the Receiver Tracing Factor tab. You should see all the Cost Centres you entered under Receivers in the Sender/Receiver tab. Enter the %s you wish to apportion to each Cost Centre.
Save this cycle and run this for the period in question. Before you run this, make sure you post some costs to the Sender Cost Centres. Else the system will find nothing to assess and come back with the same error.
Hope this helps.
Cheers.

Actual cost splitting - secondary cost element

Hi All,
My knowledge on actual cost splitting for cost centers are limited.
Basically i am trying to use actual activity price calculation. In my splitting structure i have two different cost element group for two activities and i am using splitting rule 30 i.e., activity quantity. The system does the splitting perfectly based on the cost elements groups specified in splitting structure, but i am facing a strange problem. i have also allocated costs from different cost center to the prod cost center used for price calculation through assessment. But i havent used the secondary cost element in none of the cost element group for activities, but still the system is taking the cost of the allocated costs in secordary cost elements and allocates to both the activities in 50:50, which i am able to see in splitting showing as "division of activity-independed actual costs".
Can anybody please let me know, is this the way it works or something has gone wrong.
Thanks
With Best Regards,
GJ

Portion of http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/5b/d2200743c611d182b30000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
".....the actual costs are distributed on the activity types according to splitting rules. If you have not defined any splitting rules for a cost center, the R/3 System splits actual costs based on the <b>equivalence numbers</b> for the activity types. "
Your case could construed to be a missing splitting rule, because the cost element group is missing the secondary cost element within the splitting structure. As a result, the system may use the equivalence number of the activity types and distribute.
Check the <b>equivalence number</b> of your two activities, it may be 1 and 1 for both activities; hence those costs getting divided equally. I suspect nothing has gone wrong.

Through Assessment cycle can we post costs through Primary cost Element

Can we Send the Costs from Sender Cost Center to Receiver Cost Center by using Primary Cost emlement which is created with Cost Element Category as1 and by executing Assessment Cycle (KSU5)
Thank you all

Hi Naga,
1. Do you want to transfer the cost in the Cost Element which is of category 1 OR
2. You want to use that Cost Element as a cost carrier in Assessment?
In case 1, YES, you can transter the cost
In case 2, NO, you must create secondary cost element with category 42 for this purpose.
Pls revert back for further explanation

Automatic creation of PO from shipment cost document

Dear Experts
PLease let me know the settings with description to understand for the creation of PO from shipment cost document. It seems inegration with FI is also needed. Request your explanation with the settings in SPRO
Thanks
Ganesh

For automatic Generation of Purchase Order
SPRO > Logistics Execution > Transport > Shipment Costs > Shipment Cost Document > Shipment Cost Types and Item Categories > Define item Categories (T_56)
   In the Generate PO, Enter one of A, B, C.
       Do not generate purchase order
A    Generate purchase order for validity period of 1 day
B    Generate purchase order for validity period of 1 week
C    Generate purchase order for validity period of 1 month
For assigning posting in G/L Accounts
SPRO > Logistics Execution > Transport > Shipment Costs > Shipment Cost Document > Shipment Cost Types and Item Categories > Assign shipment cost types and item categories
Based on the item category created before, assign the valuation class.
Assign the Valuation class to the Shipment header or leg (whichever is planned for ) and the item category you created before.
Assigning the Shipment cost type to the shipment type
SPRO > Logistics Execution > Transport > Shipment Costs > Shipment Cost Document > Shipment Cost Relevance and Default for Shipment Cost Type (T_57)
Assign the Shipment cost type to the Shipment type and mark it as relevant for shipment cost.
Checking the assignment of G/L Accounts to the Valuation Class
SPRO > Logistics Execution > Transport > Shipment Costs > Settlement > Automatic G/L Account Determination
Select the Account Assignment - GBB - Enter the Chart of Accounts - Check if VBR was assigned the G/L accounts for the Valuation class you specified before.

Replicate breakdown cost from the Shipment cost document (VI01) to the PO

CASE:
Currently we are creating the SCD with reference to the shipment number. This SCD creates a Service purchase order and a Service Entry sheet automatically.
The SCD has several conditions types to store different types of costs: Freight, fuel, accessorial, package, etc.
The purchase order has only one value, instead the several values in the SCD. We want to replicate all condition types from the SCD to the PO.
Example:
SCD condition types:
Freight           $80
Fuel           $15
Accessorial     $5
Total          $100 USD
Automatic service PO conditions
Price(Limit)          $100
We want to have the same breakdown cost in both documents. Do you know how to do this?

No possible.
