GI Actual Cost-Material Component

Hello Experts,
I have maintained movement type 101 for GR, 281 for GI for valuated project stock and Item Category L for creating material component. Actually, my report reflects the planned figures on WBS, then breaks on activity then reflects further breakdown at the material breakdown level under the activity.
When comes to actual cost i.e. first GR the value goes on WBS, which is correct. However, when I do GI it goes on the activity and my material actual cost breakdown figures don’t appear, neither does the commitment column. They remain zero instead and the Actuals GI figure reflects on activity.
Can you please tell me where am i doing anything wrong.?
Thanks,
Kumar Srinivasan

Hi,
Just check your procurement parameters.
If the parameters are set to reserve/ purchase the material for a network and not WBS then it will always look for the network number as the controlling object. From there only you handle your stock, Good Receipts, Good Issues and its valuation means how it is valuated.
Eg:-
If you have set up your project by contradicting that the project definition has group requirements for a project and then you don’t have Q on your special stock indicator on the procurement page, then you will have your costs going in different directions.
I hope this will clear your doubts.

Product Costing: Actual Cost by Component

Hi SAP Gurus,
Products are manufactured in plant X, and have all the standard cost components (MP, DL, FOH, etc.) that one would expect of internally-manufactured skus. Traditionally, these products were shipped from Plant X to Plant Y and then to Plant Z. Once sold out of Plant Z, the actual Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) in the system likewise includes costs for MP, DL, FOH, etc.
However, last year we started also selling product directly from Plant Y. On Looking in ZCO_ACTUAL_COST(Actual Cost by Component), we see that, when sold, a given SKU is treated as a purchased finished good. That is, all of the standard costs & variances associated with the sku are aggregated into Purchased Finished Goods, a materials account. Because SAPu2019s actual cost has zero for all other line items (i.e. DL + FOH), the system generates favorable variances that eliminate these standard costs.
Please note that the issue is not standards (which appear to be fine) but actual cost allocation upon sale of the product.
Summary : The issue is that product sold out of Plant Y is incorrectly treated as a purchased finished good, instead of as an internally manufactured item.This is an issue because our materials costs are then overstated and other costs are understated
How to show the product sold from Plant Y as internally manufactured Item. (with Cost Components M+P, DL.FOH etc) like how it was showing for product sold from Plant Z?

Jaswanth

Hi Ajay,
In the material master for the material, I verified that the Price control is set as S( Std price) for both the Plant Y and Plant Z.
And the issue here is with the Actual Cost component and not the Std cost component. Can you please clarify where in MRP view for Plant Ywe need to set the indicator as transferred from Plant X.
Also I verified that the valuation class for Plant Y and Plant Z is different, ( For Plant Y it is set as Mfg Fin goods and for Plant Z it is set as Purchased Fin goods). Is the Actual cost component split has any relation with this Val class setup.
This is how the Actual Cost component looks
Mat No   Plant   Raw Mat Packaging Mats Pur Fin Goods Direct Labour FOH
   A          Z         XX              XX                     XX                         XX            XX
   A          Y           0                 0                     XX                          0                0
All the cost for Plant Y is rolled to Pur fin goods.
Kindly give your inputs

Actual Costing / Material Ledger - Component values transfer after movement

I executed a production order with several cost components, as Labor, Machine HS, after the settlement of the production order this cost where allocated into de CKM3N components. In addition to this, I executed movement 412 Q (Plant Stock to WBS Stock) for the material and the component values didnt pass to the material / PEP. I executed CKMLCP to Multilevel price determination. Can anyone help me with this?
The original material kept the cost split values, but the Material / Pep didnt. (the material code and plant didn't change)
Regards

Hi ,
Welcome to SDN ..
Its not a ML issue , but its a MM issue..
Movement 412Q is a transfer from plant stock to project stock. The material quantity gets reduced from plant stock and increased on project stock. The material value stays on the inventory account (so you won't see any actual costs associated with this transaction). ..
After you do a 412Q you can to a 221Q to issue the material from your project stock to the WBS. This will reduce the quantity in your project stock segment. The material value is credited to inventory and debited to material consumption expense(actual cost on the WBS).
The above applies to valuated project stock only. An issue to non-valuated project stock is treated like an inventory transfer from the logistics point of view(quantity is moved from plant stock to project stock) but like a consumption from a financial point of view(reduce inventory, increase expense).
Since, your Project Stock is not consumed.. CKM3N is not reflecting any consumption. Please use the movement type 221Q and i am sure your issue will be solved..
Please revert back for any further clarifications

Actual Costing/Material Ledger (CO-PC-ACT) - Actual costing

Hello,
I have same problem with actual costing in material Ledger.
When I perform the actual costing a price differences that belongs to materials (orders) which at the end of the period are WIP, remain not split and don not book them on Accruals and defer.acct(material ledger) (OBYC - Transaction LKW).
Moreover, in the following month, system does not taking into account the value.
Does anybody had similar problem or knew how tu handle it?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Rafal,
there is a functionality built into acual costing to cover this:

Report painter/writer for actual cost component split

Hello Gurus,
Any of you guys ever explored possibility of creating a report using report painter or writer that can give both Standard and Actual cost component splits in one report? Is it even possible without custom ABAP involvement?
Thanks
RG

Hi Raghu,
After your reply, I am getting a doubt..
Have you Activated Material Ledger? When you say Actual Cost Component Split, are you talking about it what you get in Actual Costing/Material Ledger?
If yes, then you can map your cost compnents for Actual Costing in the path SPROControllingProfitability AnalysisMaster Data Valuation--Setup Valuation using Material Cost Estimate -- Define Access to Actual Costing / Material Ledger
Further, there are no standard reports available in COPA. Try to build a report comprising two columns, 1st column with the value fields which are mapped for Standard Cost Components and 2nd column with the Value Fields which you have assined for Actual Costing under the above path.
You will be able to get the comparison...
Pls don't hesitate to call me for further assistance....

Actual costs for laboratory exams / Material Ledger

Hi Experts
I have a doubt for actual cost scenario for laboratory industry.
My background is for product cost for consumer goods, specially food companies, so this is a new segment for me.
This laboratory has baseline version, no service/production order, it means all material consumption goes to cost center and they use activities to send costs from cost center to cost center.
They have BOM for all exams (finished product). They only run CK40N for standard costs but they don't have actual cost (material ledger - CKMLCP) implemented.
This is the issue: they want actual cost for every exam in the way we have for consumer goods industry.
So they can analyse profitability for product (exam) x customers.
I wounder if the same industry actual cost scenario can be applied to this business segment or if there is a special SAP solution for this segment.
The main issue is the stock, there is no stock, it´s service. I believe we could change the account in BSX key (OBYC) for some P&L accounts but I´d like your opinion/experience.
I hope you help me to clarify these doubts
Thanks in advance.

Dear Rupesh,
I don't think so there will be any std.report in PS module to show plan vs actual cost of material component.
For looking plan vs actual cost in PS having many std reports but they don't show for material component.
I think for this you need to develop a Z report which will show Plan vs Actual cost of material component.
In CN52N report (Component overview report) you can add two fields one is for plan cost & other for actual cost.This can be one of possibilty you can try.Otherwise develop a new Z report for the same.
For this you need to take yr abaper's help.

Actual Cost Component Split for cross company code transfers.

Hi,
My issue is as follows.
Production process spans across 2 company codes.
Goods are produced in production company code, transferred (via stock transport order) to marketing company code and sold to customers from marketing company code.
Stock transport order follows sales scenario i.e.. marketing company code creates purchase order for goods from production company code and production company code bills marketing for the goods.
Actual costing / Material ledger is implemented in both company codes.
We would like to roll-up (transfer) actual cost component split from production company code to marketing company (in a similar way as in product cost planning in cross-company scenario).
However, due to the fact that the transfer between the companies is in fact a "sales" the goods in marketing company code are seen as externally purchased and the only cost component we can create is based on PO conditions. But we want to get the info about production cost component split.
Once again this is for ACTUAL cost component split.
I would be grateful for any ideas.
Thanks,
Szymon

Hi Udo / Szymon.
I have a question about this issue.
In the sap help about multiple valuations / group costing:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/7e/cb848443a311d189ee0000e81ddfac/content.htm
Its not clear if this can roll up the Actual CCS? or what it do? My question is because i read the documentation of bussiness function: LOG_MM_SIT,and also the book *Actual Costing with The SAP Material Ledger*
states that we can handle the rollup of actual cost component split inter-company only with this BF active.
Could you clarify about this?
thanks!!
Arturo.
Group Valuation
Goods movements between affiliated companies not involving intercompany profits are processed using the group view. This view determines the actual cost of goods manufactured for the group, and does not include any intercompany profits. You can, however, display internal profits as delta profits in the legal and/or profit center views.
When you define cost components, you can specify that internal profits between company codes and/or profit centers are shown in detail in the cost component split. You activate these delta profits for the group valuation in the attributes of the cost components.
For each cost component structure, there can only be one cost component under which the delta profit is shown. This means that neither the legal view nor the profit center view can have more than one cost component for the delta profit.
To cost multiple values, you define a costing type for each valuation approach in Customizing for Product Cost Planning. You use the costing type to specify which valuation approach you require. You define each costing type in a new costing variant and carry out a cost estimate with this costing variant.
Group Costing and Multiple Valuation Approaches
In-Depth Detail of the Value-Added Chain: Partner Cost Component Split
You can display in detail the costs of materials and services of every company department in the value-added chain for every stage of the production process. The partner can be traced for every material used. To do this, you define a partner version, which enables the value-added portions of each manufacturing level to be displayed in detail. For further information about this, see Partners and Direct Partners.
The group cost component split can be displayed according to your partner definition. You can display the cost structures of the partners hierarchically according to your requirements, such as the company code segments on the highest level and the plant or profit center segments underneath.
To display partner cost component splits, define a partner version in Customizing and enter it in the costing type.

Actual Costing concept in Material Ledger

Hi
Masters , can any body please explain the concept of Acutal costing in material ledger i think that involves the following steps:
1 Activate actual costing.
2.Define userdefined names for receipts and consumption
3.Assign user defined names for receipts and consumption /
for the above 2 and 3 points what is the purpose we have to define and assign user defined names in coantrolling level selecting the B+ Procurement and V+ Consumption.
thanks in advance

Hi,
Actual costing is a huge concept. It is difficult to explain the concept in few words
Please go through the following link for detailed informaton:
http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/print46c/en/data/pdf/COPCACT/COPCACT.pdf
Configuration Points:
Path: IMG>Controlling>Product Cost Controlling --> Actual costing/Material Ledger
1. Activate Material Ledger for valuation areas
2. Assign Currency types to Material Ledger Type
3. Assign Material Ledger Type to Valuation Area
4. Configure Dynamic Price Changes
5. Define Material Update Structure
6. Assign Material Update Structure to a Valuation Area
7. Activate Actual Cost Component Split
8. Activate Actual Costing
Coming to your Questions 2 and 3. they are required to be created if you want your own Controlling level for transactions that you would like to differentiate in the material ledger, further than the standard system offers. Normally we don't use unless there are some specific business requirements
Some key points would be:
ML records all receipts, consumptions and variances for each material.
ML gives overview for each material of the starting balance, receipts, consumption, variance and ending balance.
ML calculates the actual cost for each material u2013 finished goods, packaging.
If a material has BOM, variances of lower levels are rolled up to next higher level up to finished goods, to calculate actual cost for raw material, semi finished & Finished goods in ML as unit price.
Calculated actual cost at end of month can be used as standard price for next period in the material master.
SAP MM is on standard price based costing, ML can do monthly average costing.
Direct settlement of all kind of price differences / exchange rate difference/ to materials at the end of the period.
Once activated , it is not that easy to deactivate although possible with implications like not having historic data.
Cannot be used in isolation : All the plants within the company code shall be material ledger active.
Material Price change is not possible after first transaction in that period.
Using material ledger, inventory in US plant in Canada will be available in USD and CAD
Hope this would help you.

Material ledger- pipeline materials actual costing

Dear all,
I am having problem with pipeline materials not being included in multilevel actual BOM in Material ledger actual costing. My client need information about actual quantity of pipeline material (natural gas) being consumed in multilevel production. I am not sure if pipeline materials are subject to actual costing/material ledger. Actual cost component is showing the amount of costs of natural gas, but in multilevel BOM, pipeline materials are not included. Am I right about this?

Volatile raw material price and actual costing

Hello,
We are investigating the use of material ledger / actual costing in SAP. We have multiple production plants and multiple distribution warehouses that would be modeled as a plant.
We are worried that due to the extreme volatility of our raw material prices and the fact that some of our products have low volume or slow turnover in some warehouses, our cost of goods sold in SAP using material ledger / actual costing will be difficult to explain and not reflective of actual conditions.
For example, if a product is placed in Warehouse A in month 1, receives very little new product in months 2-4, and then we sell a lot of that product from warehouse A in month 4, the cost of those goods will be very close to the month 1 cost. We are worried about how that will affect our cost of goods sold.
We would like to hear from other companies that have similar conditions to see if this really causes any problems using actual costing / material ledger.
Thanks,
Jimmy

Hello,
Thank you for your response. We would like to understand why other companies do not have a problem with this behavior. Our company is concerned that this will reduce visibility of raw material price fluctuations in COGS (and reports that use COGS data), and make it more difficult to explain COGS behavior. Note that we have some reports on COGS data by material.
In our current system, COGS consumes inventory at the average price accross all warehouses.
Thanks,
Jimmy

Actual Cost of Product with Price control "S"

Dear Gurus,
Is there any report available where we can know the Actual Costs of Materials with Price Control "S".
In the material master field the actual cost in the "Moving Price Tab" of the material with Price Control "S" is available, but is there any report available for plant level?
Thanks & Regards,
Amit Dhanurdhari.

Hi Amit,
-- Under Standard Costing, you value your inventory at Standard Costs and any variances in Production Process will be settled to Price Difference Account. You will not be able to find out actual cost per unit. In Multi-level BOM scenario under Standard Costing (CO-PC), variances don't get rolled-up to the next level, only costs get rolled-up.
-- Under Actual Costing - Material Ledger, You will be able to find out the Actual Cost per Unit. Variances get rolled-up to the next level.
To explain difference between Standard Costing in CO-PC and Material Ledger briefly....
You have given Price Indicator as "S" in the material master of "X" material (semi finisher or finished) and you are doing Standard Cost Estimate for arriving at Standard Cost per tonne. Let's say, the Standard Cost per tonne is Rs.1000/-
Now, when you created production order for 10 tonnes and received output of 10 tonnes (GR). But the total cost incurred on that production order is Rs.1100/-. In this situation, actual cost per tonne is Rs.110.
But, because you are following Standard Costing, When you post GR against this Production Order, inventory will be posted at Standard cost only, i.e., Rs.1000/-. and the balance of Rs.100 will be posted to Price Difference Account. (and parallally the variance of Rs.100/-) will flow to COPA.
So, it is clear that, though, at Production Order level you can see the actual cost, at "material" level, you will not be able to see the actual cost per tonne.(as long as you are using only Product Costing and Standard Costing)
Alternatively, if you maintain Price Indicator as "V", you will able to get the Actual Cost per tonne at material level, but there will be no scope for establishing standard cost and comparison with actual thereof.
But, the same is possible if you are using Material Ledger (CO-ML). If Material Ledger is active, you will be maintaining "S" in the material master, still, the variances will be settled inventory and you will be able to get the actual cost per tonne. (bothe Standard cost estimate, actual cost per tonne will be possible).
Pls revert back for further explanation

Target Cost and Actual Cost

Hi All,
When is the target cost and actual cost gets populated and from where does the data comes from liek labour,machine,overhead cost comes?
Thanks in advance

Dear Friend,
speaking from controlling point of view, target and actual costs will be flown from "costing variant planned" and "costing variant actual" respectively.In above mentioned varinats, whats the process has to be followed to calculate material costs,activty costs,overhead costs etc will be defined. These variants will be assigned in order type dependent parameters OPL8.
Target Costs - In standard cost estimate(ck11n),target cost will be calculated in the following way
                          -material cost from material master and BOM
                          - activity costs from routing( for this u need to plan the activity costs in KP26)
                          - other costs from the definitions of planned costing variant.
                   - after running the standard cost estimate,u need to mark n release(ck24).
Actual Costs - material costs frm goods issues (via goods mvmts thru MBIA,MB1B etc) against
                      production/process order.
                          - activity costs(as per the price u plannned in KP26)through operation confirmation in
                            COR6N/CO11N.
                          - any other costs like overheads,cost center issues etc as per the process defined
                            in 'actual costing variant'.
Hope this will clear your doubt.

Raw Material Costing with Actual Cost Component Split

Hi All
I have requirement to split inventory RM Value with material component and Freight cost, all config done and looks well if I check at CKM3N cost component view, material cost $100 and Freight $20, I GR the inventory with freight cost, since I'm using actual costing when journal freight cost go to Price Difference account. But after actual costing closing why the system can't split the variance update to freight cost component? is this the standard SAP behaviour?
Please help for the solution
Regards
Luiz

I see that you want to split your material cost and freight cost. you need to check the following:
Is your current standard cost estimate support this structure i.e do you have seperate cost components for RM and Freight.
If not first you need to change cost component structure and as mentioned by owen you to map the purchase condition type to the origin group and cost component structure.
Then system will do the same for the actual costing

Actual Cost component split - Per PO

Dear ML Experts,
We have activated Material Ledger and Actual costing/ Actual cost component split in our implementation. The standard cost is based on delivery costs and there is no manufacturing involved. In order to test ML, we created some POs and did a GR and IR for those POs. When I look at the Material Price analysis on the Price Determination Structure View, I can see the Price differences per transaction (Goods receipt, Invoice receipt).
But when I go to the Cost component View (Actual), I cannot drill down into the individual transactions. I am able to see the actual cost component split only at the summarized level across multiple transactions. I can see the category Purchase Order under Receipts, but I am unable to drill down to see the actual cost component split for the individual transactions (goods receipts, invoice receipts). Did I miss anything on the configuration? The client wants to see the price differences per cost component per transaction and actual cost component split per transaction.
Is it possible to view this information using standard configuration? Would I have to change the controlling level in order to achieve this?
Can you please provide your advice?
Thanks,
Balram

Hi Balram.
If you have access to an IDES system, you can see a Cost Component split like this:
As fas as I know, this is only for educational porpouses. In the standard System, its not recomended have the detail of the split per movement, due to the huge amount of data genereted. There is a Flag that control this, in a Txxx table (i dont have access to the system right now).
If you really want this functionality, write SAP in the marketplace, and I guess their response is exactly what im saying.
Arturo.
