How the Trading Goods mapped in to Product costing and COPA in Controlling

Dear Experts,
I have a trading goods scenario in my client. How the mapping into Product Costing and COPA.
They just purchase FG products from Vendors and Sell to their Customers, they received FG Products to Main Plant from Vendors and then sends to Branches from Main Plant, In between some expenses accured like Transport, Fright etc. this is my scenario.
How the settings to be made in Product costing and COPA.
I am waiting for your favorable reply.
Thanks,
KBR.

Hi Bhaskar
I believe branches are also created as Plants
You have 2 choices....
Choice 1: If the Freight amount is known @ the time of Transfer from Main plant to Branches, include the same in STO so that inventory value in Branch = Purchase Value + Freight amount
CHoice 2: If thats not possible, then inventory value in Branch will be same as the Main plant... The expenses incurred on freight needs to be posted to a cost center... Then allocate them @ month end based on revenue / Quantity sold etc using KEU5
Whichever choice you make, Product Costing is not relevant and required as well... You dont need to do any CK11N
If you want to see in COPA Purchase value separate and the Freight, etc separate - Then choice 2 is the route for you

Product Costing and COPA

Hi Friends,
Could any one tell me the basic settlements done to COPA from Product Costing point of view and which tables will be updated at the periodic settlemnet of variences to COPA?
Thank you ,
Parthu

Hi
During settlement, variances are posted to CO-PA from the Production/Process Order/Production Cost Collecter at the same time that they are posted to the G/L. The fixed and variable portions of the variance are carried over into CO-PA with the same breakdown as the cost component layout that comprises the standard cost. Any characteristics that have been configured in CO-PA that are related to the product number are carried over for analysis, such as product number, product line, plant, and so on. This access allows the matching of variances with the products cost of sales.
The variances are posted to CO-PA in the period when they are incurred, not the period when the product is sold.
If you are using costing based CO-PA, the tables updated are:
CExYYYY, where yyyy = the operating concern/
Hope this helps.

Hi Leo,
Can you elaborate your issue, like when did you get the error exactly?
If it is the error you got while creating Product Cost Collector, then this is not the right Forum to post.
Please post your question in the 'ERP Manufacturing (PP)' forum

Product Costing and Production Planning

Hi,
Is Product Costing absolutely required before implementing Production Planning, specifically PP orders? My client does not want to plan costs or need any cost estimates. They want to use a PP order to check availability for a BOM, and then issue it out to an external vendor for services. After this material is processed by the external vendor, he would ship it back and we would be doing a goods receipt at the parent level of the BOM. The whole purpose of this is to get the accurate price of the BOM parent which would include all service costs. This parent would finally be sold via the regular SD sales order process. Our Logisitics consultant suggested that the only way this could be accomplished is a PP order. All this looks okay, but he also mentioned that a PP order cannot work without Product Costing and the process cant be accomplished CO-PC. I am unable to grasp why SAP would force us to have costing when the client doesnt need any cost estimates, planning etc. Could any one please tell me if we need CO-PC for this scenario?

Dear SAPFicon,
Technically, to run PP without using product cost planning would cause a lot of problems during business process of production order. Because, once a production order is created then the data structured is freezed in the PO and if there is any missing data it will cause errors. Any errors in production order would stop the following transactions. We never know what would be the error level of the production order. The worst case, the production or should be cancel and start it all over again.
But by using product costing or product cost planning, this is a preliminary step to prevent and eliminate any error of the products tobe produced.
So, ideally, there is one person in charge to ensure that the products which be produced in the production orders are free of error.
So, the product costing is an integrated module that take data from variouse module such as PP, MM, CO, HR.
The product costing use the Logistic master data such as folllowing;
1. Bill of material
2. Routing
3. Work center
4. Material master
How you can say, that running PP without PC will run, while the to run the smooth production order, you need to mandatory parameter in Material Master that belong to Costing area.
Without having product costing, I can assure that your client will trap in a lot of troubles with their business process.
Please see the online documentation for product costing for a better overview or you are welcome to ask again

How the categoryId is mapped?

Hi All,
If selecting one program i'm passing categoryId=001 as a query string. according to this categoryId only order is placing, how the all configurations and mapping will done in background. please any one can help on this in detail?? It means how the catalog will loaded all sku's??
Thanks.

It means how the catalog will loaded all sku's??In case of standard catalog we will use same catalog for all users.
I think it will happen only for custom catalog as we have property "catalog" in user item-descriptor "dcs_user" table in userProfile.xml. It is as below:
<property category-resource="categoryCommerceGeneral" name="catalog" item-type="catalog" display-name-resource="catalog" column-name="user_catalog"
          repository="/atg/commerce/catalog/ProductCatalog">
        <attribute name="resourceBundle" value="atg.commerce.UserProfileTemplateResources"/>
      </property>We can assign catalog to user(s);

Please Help::How to display a Map with LIsts as Keys and Values using JSTL

Hi,
I need some assistance on how to display a Map in JSP using struts or core JSTL. I have a HashMap which has a List of keys and each key maps to a value of an ArrayList.i.e I have an ArrayList of taxCodes and each taxCode maps to a value of taxDetails which is an ArrayList of details for for that particular taxCode. I have some trouble to display each taxCode then display taxDetails for each taxCode. Here is my code below:

hi evnafets,
yes i need a nested for loop.I have tried your advice but my bean properties are not found.Am getting this error:
javax.servlet.ServletException: Unable to find a value for "key_item" in object of class "java.lang.String" using operator "."
I have tried this as stated earlier in the post:I have tried to make the method getItemTaxDetails return a List and get the returned list value as taxDetails. I then tested to display this list on JSP and its displaying fine.
public List getItemTaxDetails(String key_year,String key_office,
            String key_client,String key_company,int key_item){
        ItemTax taxDetail = null;
        List taxDetails = new ArrayList();
        List itemTaxCodes = new ArrayList();
        Map itemTaxDetails = new HashMap();
        Connection conn = null;
        Statement stat = null;
        ResultSet rst = null;
        //get a list of all tax codes of an item with a
        //given item number
        itemTaxCodes = getAllTaxCodes(key_item,key_year,
                key_office,key_client,key_company);
        DbConnection dbConn = new DbConnection();
        try {
            conn = dbConn.getDbConnection(Constants.WEB_JNDI);
            stat = conn.createStatement();
            for(Iterator taxCodeIter= itemTaxCodes.iterator(); taxCodeIter.hasNext();){
                ItemTax itemTaxCode = (ItemTax)taxCodeIter.next();
                String taxCode = itemTaxCode.getKey_tax_code();
                String select = "SELECT tax_type,tax_value," +
                        "tax_limit_val FROM "+ Constants.WEB_TABLE +
                        " WHERE key_item = "+ key_item +
                        " AND key_year = '" + key_year + "'" +
                        " AND key_office = '" + key_office + "'" +

                        " AND key_tax_code = '" + taxCode + "'";
                rst = stat.executeQuery(select);
                while(rst.next()){
                    taxDetail = new ItemTax();
                    //records to be displayed only
                    taxDetail.setKey_item(Integer.parseInt(rst.getString("key_item")));
                    taxDetail.setTax_value(rst.getString("tax_value"));
                    taxDetail.setTax_limit_val(Float.parseFloat(rst.getString("tax_limit_val")));
                    //////other details records ommited//////////////////////////
                    taxDetails.add(taxDetail);////An ArrayList of taxDetails for each taxCode
                 * A HashMap which has all taxCodes of an item as its keys
                 * and an ArrayList of taxdetails as its values.
                 * I return this for display in a JSP.
                itemTaxDetails.put(taxCode,taxDetails);
        } catch (SQLException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();

Already miss YouTube and a good map app., Already miss YouTube and a good map app.

I upgraded my iPad 2 to IOS 6 yesterday. I had watched the WWCD in June, and have waited with eager anticipation for the release of the new IOS. Of course, I knew that the Siri function was not going to be available on the iPad 2, and I new the Google maps app would be replace with the new Apple maps. I was not concerned, because Apple has NEVER been known for offering a lesser product to its loyal customer base.
However, within the first 24 hours after the upgrade, I have been diappointed and wish I had stayed with IOS 5. First of all, there was a promise of over 200 new features in the new IOS but all I got was a new clock app. I realize that the iCloud capabilities have been improved also, but that was not a big concern for me. Second, the new Apple Maps app is an archaic step backwards. It has been over a decade since I saw a mapping service that was so devoid of features. The cartoonish 3-D is not a benefit. The lack of POI's, and the detailed data is woefully missing. I am shocked that Apple would release something that was not better than what we had to begin with. I feel certain that time will permit it to catch up to the Google quality, but what do we do in the mean time? I guess we pray that Google will quickly design an IOS 6 compatible app.
Lastly, I just discovered that YouTube is no longer available on the iPad. Why? Again, Apple has not offered a "better" solution, they simply took away a widely used app. Yes, there are work arounds, but key features of the app, like Airplay, are no longer avaible. Going to YouTube in the browser does not permit Airplay (I tried it). Yes, Google has already released an app for the iPhone, but they have not for the iPad. The iPhone app works on the iPad, but it too lacks the features of a full iPad app.
I do not know if Apple representatives ever read any of these community comments. If so, I would urge Apple to maintain the course set by Jobs. While he was at the helm, new products or OS releases were not infererior to the previous. I know that Cook will also do a great job. However, do not permit the desire to release something "new," cause you throw care to the wind and release products that are not worthy of the Apple name.

You are correct about Steve's desire to eliminate Google. However, the philosophy has been to offer a "Better" product and/or user experience as the result of an upgrade. Yet, this upgrade fall short of a "better" experience on the iPad 2. It stripped two vital apps and adding nothing to replace one (i.e., YouTube), and grossly inferior one on the other (i.e., Maps). Hardly any of the new features of IOS 6 are available on the iPad 2. This update should have been restricted from the iPad 2. The Apple Maps app should have not made this release at all. They should have waited until it at least was comparable to Google. The Apple Maps is useless for me, but I use Google maps always. This is my first diappointment with Apple. However, I feel certain that Maps will eventually be improved.

How to Close Planned Over Heads in product costing

HI,
We are maintaining planned over heads through KP26 and Costing sheet.Kindly tell me how to close planned over head wether it is periodicall closing or other?
Kindly provide me the guide lines how to do this Planned overheads closing in the system?How many ways are there to close planned overheads in the system?
Kindly adviice me?
Thanks
Sunitha

Dear Sunitha,
To run the Cost estimate or close the planned overhead KP26 and Costing Sheet is not enough you have to move forward and you need to define Cost component Structure (OKTZ) Path: SPRO > IMG > Controlling > Product Cost Controlling > Product Cost Planning > Basic Setting for Material Costing > Define Cost Component Structure. After maintaining cost component structure you need to define Costing variant T.code OKKN Path: SPRO > IMG > Controlling > Product Cost Controlling > Product Cost Planning > Material Cost Estimate with Quantity Structure . Here you copy PPC1 standard and create your own costing Variant.
After Maintaining the Configuration go to T.code CK11n and run your costing and if it is correct then save it. To update Price in MM run T.code CK24 and release Material and update it.
thx.

How to Capture Logistics activity in overall Product costing?

Can anyone guide me and suggest me some ideas for capturing the logistics activity (both material inward and outward) to adding it to the overall product cost.

Sorry in fact, it was a typographical error. CO forum is the ideal forum to get suitable suggestions.

Product costing and probitability analysis

Hello,
This is my issue
When a process order is settled, the following entries are passing by the system
510000 (consumption account)                = 1622.42 (debit)
520100 (production order settlement standard)     = 10067.58 (credit)
520110   Production order settlement variance      = 8214.7 (debit)
530000 Gain/Loss price variance           = 8214.7 (credit)
Balance sheet Account Change
131000 Raw material          1622.42 (decreased)
134000 Inventory FG          10067.40 (increased)
Is this correct.   As a result of the above entries... in P & L consumption account is showing a debit of 1622.42 and production order settlement standard account showing credit of 100067.58.
If it is correct... my problem is how to map these accounts in COPA .....
If the above is not correct and am i missing anything....
Thanks
Radha

hello
Yes, we have transactions in SD.... whenever we are doing billing COGS is updating in COPA .....
and operating and non-operating expenes are mapped in COPA
What should i do to reconcile COPA and FI ... the only difference between these two is only becasue of that consumption account and production order settlement standard account... these amounts are hitting whenever we do settlement of process order
.these are the steps we are doing for settlment of process order
1) A process is raised (COR1)
2) Goods are confirming (CORK) or Goods Movement in MIGO (issue)
3) Goods receipt (MIGO)
4) Variance Calculation (KKS2)
5) Settlement of order (KO88)
Not calculating anywhere WIP, and not doing techo complete in process order also.
Before the step 3 . I checked WIP (KKAX) it is showing zero after the step 3 also it is showing zero.
I think if finished goods are not sent to the stores. WIP balance should equal to the order confirmation amount Am I Correct??
Whenever we are settling the order some amount is going to consumption (debit in p & L) and some amount is going to production order settlement standard account (credit to P & L) .
I think these accounts should nullify by settlement order but showing difference.... because of this not able to reconcile fi and copa
Thanks
Radha

Product costing and cost center

Hi,
My client is a trading organisation. In order to do product costing, at which point in sourcing we need to enter the cost center.
M.K

Hi MK,
In a trading organization, usually you do not need product costing as you are not manufacturing the product in-house.
You can value your Inventory at MAP and when you do MIGO, the MAP will get adjusted itself with different p.O.rates that you purchase.
And, even if you go for Product costing, you won't need Cost Center at any point of time for sourcing.
Regards,
Kavita

Product Costing and Labour Hours

Dear All
We have a basic process for product costing which follows the flow below:
0. Creation of material master which is costed (transaction MM01). If material master already exists for this material, this step is skipped;
1. Creation and release of CO production order to collect the costs of material production (KKF1);
2. Posting of actual costs to the CO production order created (goods issues, labour and services costs);
3. When production is completed, Overhead costs has to be calculated for this production order (KGI2);
4. Produced material delivery to stock has to be carried out (MB31);
5. CO production order has to be settled (KO88) and closed (KKF2).
We would like to start posting labour where the hours will be posted to a secondary cost element and included in the cost of the product. Can you please provide information on the steps to configure this.
Many thanks
PRG
