Consumption account - during cost estimate

Hello All
While doing the cost estimate for material I am getting the error message 'Consumption account not part of GBB / ZAU"
I thought it should be from VBR normally.
ZAU does not seems to be standard to me. Please let me know where can I check this.
Best Regards

HI Vijay
ZAU is not standard.. Only ZOB and ZOF are standard in Z...
May be in OMJJ some where you have assigned ZAU against some consumption movement types.. especially 261 or any other

Sales order cost estimate with GIT account

Hi,
Business introduced Goods - in - Transit (Balance sheet account), so PGI will always post to GIT and Invoice it will get reversed.
For one of the Configuratble material (MTO) scenario we need the Sales order cost estimate to get the Planned cost.
When i try to execute the sales order cost estimate it says cost element doesnot exist for GIT GL (WHich is right).
But with maintaining the GIT how to achieve the sales order cost estimate.
I tried to create CE category 90 for GIT, in Cost estimate am getting error CE 90 not supported for Cost estimate.
Kindly help this is kind of urgent req for us
Thanks,
Sudha

Hello Ashley
Yes, if you have done your settings correctly, especially Requirements class set up (see the documentation link), then the cost estimate will flow to a condition type in Pricing, usually EK01/EK02 conditions. These conditions are used to calculate sales prices (PR00) in cost-plus (mark-up) scenarios.
Link: http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/90/ba6da4446711d189420000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
However Profit margin as calculated in a sales order comes from VPRS condition (which is based in Material Master) and is the difference of net value and VPRS condition value in normal circumstance.
Hope other more knowledgeable experts will weigh in.

Sales order cost estimate not happening because of GIT B/S account

Hi,
Requirement is to have Goods in Transit account in PGI and reverse it in Invoice no issues iwth it.
For the same sales order user wants to get cost using sales order cost estimate.
When i run that am getting following error
Item 00001 : Cost element 14001212 does not exist in CO area 0010 for 10/07/2011
Message no. KK689
Even though i maintain the CE for Balance sheet account with Cost element category 90 its not accpeting.
Can you please help me on how to proceed for sales order cost estimate.
Thanks,
sudha

hi,
if you give a balance sheet account in obyc , you will not be able to create a cost elementin category 01 , accordignly system will give error in sales order costing , as its not able to get correct cost element in cost planning.
if your requirement is just to post cogs to a balance sheet account which is goods in transit and when invoice is done cogs to be posted.
you should actually use revenue based RA functionality on sales order instead of assinging a balance sheet account in obyc.
in this approach;
- first assign a p/l account in obyc and create cost element in cateogry 01.
- create revenue based RA and assign RA key in requirement class.
- in OKG8 for RA category WIPR and your ra key assign , goods in transit account and give a offsetting account which is not cost element (credit entry in offsetting account nullify debit in account given in OBYC when GIT is posted , when billing is done system will automatically post a oppsite entry in both account).
-in OKG8 for RA category COSR give the COGS account and a offsetting account without cost element (credit entry in offsetting account nullify debit in account given in OBYC when COGS is posted).

Cost estimate wrong after adding accounting/costing view

material 3000232 previously does not have accounting and costing view, now we maintained them, after running ck11n, it shows below error: no itemization exists for material, message number ck219, by drill down, the costing log is saying bom not existed.
but this material is using purchase info record, and procurement type is E in mm03, system should not ask BOM, and our costing variant is cost from purchase info record. may i know why we have such error?

Hi
Your Prc Type should be F and not E
Br, Ajay M

Automatic cost estimate while transferring to accounting.

While Posting billing Document from SD to FI, I am getting error as mention below
" The system tried to read the product cost estimate for product 20000050 using the costing variant aZPC4 and the costing version 01.
However, the product cost estimate has the status KF, which means that it contains errors. Therefore the cost estimate is not valid."
When we try to do the cost estimate manually then it estimates without errors.
Waiting eagerly for your replies,
Ariel Desa

First, you need to make sure you cost the material without errors (the status will then be KA)
Then you need to mark and release (*please see note below) your cost using transaction CK24. The status will then change to FR.
(*PS: If your system is setup to read Future Cost Estimates, you only need to mark the Cost Estimate and not release it.)
You can now release your Billing to FI.
Cheers.

Hi,
Here I am providing the necessity and importance of splitting structure, will share the configuration steps once you go through the following and get the comfort level.
                  Expense Analysis and Splitting in Manufacturing Cost Centers
Introduction In SAP Cost center work as a cost responsibility center, where all the expenses and cost are stored and analyzed for the purpose of management decision making.
The cost could be fixed or variable in nature. The difference between variable and fixed costs can be made in various ways in product costing in CO module.
Fixed costs represent the static costs incurred by the organization, which doesn’t change on the basis on manufacturing activities, which remain constant irrespective of production activities like rent for the premises, salaries of office staff etc.
On the other hand, variable cost varies based on the level of production activities; if production activities increase then variable cost also increased like electricity consumes raw material charges etc.
However all the variable cost doesn’t vary in direct proportion by quantity of goods produced.
In this document will try to define; how the Expenses analysis and splitting of cost done in manufacturing cost centers.
From controlling prospective, fixed cost remain constant regardless of operating activities, but if these factor changes, variable cost will fluctuate.
Basically raw material costs represent variable cost, but in this document main focused will be given to distinguish fixed and variable activity cost.
The segregation between fixed and variable cost is optional and is derived from the configuration and master data configured in cost center accounting and overhead accounting.
Activity Price:
There are different methods that could be used in cost center accounting to determine the activity price. The simple way is the manually enter “Fixed” and “Variable” Activity cost (KP26).
However there are other methods used in Cost center Planning and Budgeting that automatically calculate the fixed and variable activity price.
Here the focused will be given on Planning and Budgeting activity and automatic calculation of plan activity rate in cost center.
This method aggregate planned costs by cost element and capacity by plan unit to calculate the activity price.
Activity independent costs are segregated among different activities based on Splitting Structure, while activity dependent cost directly used for the purpose of variable activity rate calculation.
Fixed Activity Cost:
In product costing all those cost, which doesn’t vary based on the activities in manufacturing cost will represent fixed cost.
In a manufacturing cost centers there may be two or more activities performed.
To calculate the activities rate, the fixed costs are distributed to various activities on the basis of Splitting Structure defined for cost center.
Variable Activity Cost:
Variable activity cost, which directly depend upon the activity type and fluctuate based on increase or decrease in manufacturing activities. In SAP variable activity cost are directly linked to the respective activity.
Activity Prices: Fixed and Variable Split
In Cost Center Accounting dividing the cost between Fixed and Variable requires appropriate split to be made in the cost entered for the activity. The process is described below:
i. Variable cost would be planned at activity level and expenses should be maintained at cost element in the manufacturing cost center by assigning activity and cost element combination.
In other word, the expenses should be planned on Activity type at the time of primary cost planning (KP06).
Then the variable activity rates are calculated on Total cost planned at Activity divided by Total number of activity planned at that cost center (i.e. capacity in KP26)
ii. Fixed cost would be planned at independent of activity type. These costs are maintained in KP06 at cost element level on manufacturing cost center.
Then the fixed costs are distributed on various activity types on the basis of Splitting structure defined at OKEW.
In Splitting Structure we define the rules, how the fixed cost will be distributed to Activities. For the purpose of this document, considering split of fixed cost on the basis of Capacity maintained in KP26.

Sales order cost estimate

hi,
While saving the sales order cost estimate its getting the GL account from GBB-ZG0.
as we assigned Balance sheet account its asking the cost element.
can you please explain what is link to get the gl from GBB-ZGO, can we change this to pick from GBB-VBR.
Thanks,
Sudha

Hi,
Are you are working with unvaluated special stock ? In this case, the system is looking for a consumption account via the account assignment category. For example if you are using requirement class ZPJ which uses account assignment category Q. In account assignment Q, you entered account modification VBR. Therefore, the system is looking for an account via the keys GBB / VBR.

Error reading material cost estimate for sales order (KE292)

Dear All,
I have an issue with billing. we are posting july month transactions, the material cost is maintained through MR21. When releasing billing document for accounting we are getting error message like"Error reading the material cost estimate for sales order "11"
Message no. KE292
Diagnosis
In Profitability Analysis (CO-PA), the system tried to valuate item 000010 of sales order 11 by reading the corresponding product cost estimate.
However, no product cost estimate could be found for this sales order item.
The system accessed product costing for product AMLFP011011XX00P using costing key YB3 as defined in the
CO-PA Customizing settings.
System Response
The system cannot process the document any further.
Procedure
Check your Customizing settings."
We cross checked with other client as a current date and we ran cost estimate through CK40N with same material. and we posted entries. Here it is working fine. but in above process it is not working. Can you pls guide me where i missed.
Regards,
Nagaraju,

Hi,
When the Costing Key is assigned to the material types in the COPA customizing, then system expects Cost estimation when billing is released to Accounts.
If you dont run cost estimation but update the material master through MR21, system will not accept as in the Costing key configuration you must have selected the Current Standard price field for the valuation.
Hence, try to run cost estimation and then do releasing.
Thanks & Regards
Ravi Kumar

Cost Estimate error is coming at the time of billing document release

Dear All,
Hi, I am facing one problem that is whenever i am releasing the billing document system gives the error message.
Error : No standard cost estimate found for this material 164001001.
Here problem is some finished products we have a cost run and other finished materials we don't have a cost run. Other finished materials billing document release time we are facing the above error. There is no costing run for other finished materials. Here we have a CO-PA.
I have mainatined the costing key settings(ke40) in co-pa. In Ke40 t.code i have maintained the below settings.
1. I have selected transfer standard cost estimate radio button under determine material cost estimate.
2. Costing variant is 1010( This is our varaint)
3.Costing version is 01
4. Period indicator : Current standard cost estimate account to entry in material master.
I have maintained the above settings in ke40 t.code. Please suggest if any thing is wrong on above settings.
And also i have maintained costing key to material type assignments in ke4j t.code.
Here i maintained the three point of valuation (PV), One is real valuation, second is manual planning, third is automatic planning.
here i have assigned material type (fert) to costing key in costing key1 filed.
Please suggest if any thing wrong in the above settings. Still i am facing the same error at the time of billing document releasing time. Anybody please help to me. It is a very urgent to me.
Thanks & Regards,
Reddy

Hi,
This is a common error when COPA is activated and when the Costing Key is assigned according to the Material type in KE4J.
When you need Cost estimation for few FGs and dont require for other FG, then you list out the materials for which you require SCE and then assign these list of materials to the costing key in KE4H(Costing key for Products) leaving out those which dont require.
But detail the requirement further to facilitate the solution.
Thanks & Regards,
Ravi Kumar

Release of Cost estimate error

Hi,
I am creating a material cost estimate by CK11n.
Then doing Marking of the cost estimate in CK24.
But, while releasing it gives errors like present period is too early.
I have checked the current period in MM03.
Ususally this problem starts during last week of the month.After 17th or 18th of the month the costs do not get released, accounting documents of billing docs of SD doesn't get generated. It asks for waiting till opening of next period.
Why this kind of error happens? An elaborate explanation will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Prithwiraj.

While executing CK11n, please ensure that, start date as today's date. You will not find any error in CK24 if the CK11n start date is current date.
Please make sure that, you are in current period.
Please award if my answer works fine.

Can't delete the cost estimate via CKR1

Hi,
We have one material. We can't delete the cost estimate via CKR1. It is only warning. It is no error log. The other material cost estimate can delete normally. I check the material master I can't find the issue. The following is the warning message. Could you pls help check it? Whate factor will effect the cost estimate deletion? Thanks.
==========================
Deleting current standard cost estimates can cause inconsistencies
Message no. CK 669
Diagnosis
u2022 If you delete a current standard cost estimate, the fields for
the cost estimate are set to zero in the material master record. If you
use the material ledger, the standard prices in the material ledger
master data are also deleted when you delete the current standard cost
estimate. The material master record for the material thus does no
longer contains a current standard price from a standard cost estimate.
u2022 If you delete an active standard cost estimate, you can no
longer determine scrap, work in process and variations for previous
periods.
u2022 In certain countires, it is a legal requirement to maintain
records of standard pricing. Therefore, you should check whether you
are obliged by law to keep records of your standard cost estimates.
Please also contact the relevant accounting and inventory management
departments.
==========================
Best Regards
Park Han

Hi,
The deletion of Current standard cost estimate should be followed with some rules of the IFRS.
If you want to change the standard cost you can do the change,If you want to delete the standard cost of material then it will set the price of material to zero.If the material ledger also activate then it will make the Moving average price & standard cost of the material to zero.
So follow the Law of the country & Discus with Audit team &then delete the curent standard cost estimate of the material.

Raj
