Regards,
S.Suresh.

Hi Suresh,
I am posting this again as i typed wrong word for point no 4.
1.If you are using Internal Activity to plan Labor Hours then while confirming the Activity system will post actual cost(Controlling document) .The cost is Secondary cost.
2.For external services it will be after acceptance of service in ML81N.
3.For external services it will be after MIGO.
4.For General Cost activities you cant get costs after confirmation.For that you can post by FB50 or you can post a controlling document also by various CO tcodes(Manual cost allocation) i think tcode is KB15N .

We want to post actual cost through statistical WBS elements.

when we do the posting on Costcenter assigned to a Statistical WBS element (2nd level), I was in the opinion that, the actual cost posted on the Costcenter of statistical WBS (2nd level) will reflect to the top WBS element (which is non-statistical in 1st level).
But, I cannot able to see the actual cost in the 1st level WBS which also a Billing element (with this, finally we want to do the Resource Related Billing).
So expalin me how to bring actual cost posted on the costcenter of a Statistical WBS, to top WBS element which is non-statistical.

U can book the actual cost from Procurement Cycle or by direct Invoice posting using FI transaction.
Procurement Cycle:
When you create PR or PO user Account Assignment Q or P and maintain WBS element. When u do GR or service entry actual cost is captured on the Project (WBS element).
Using FI Transaction:
When there is no PO and to book the cost u can use F-43 to post actual cost (via Invoice) and mention WBS element.
U can check the Actual Cost using Line item report CJI3 or S_ALR_87013532.

Posting Actual Costs at Material Level

Hi All
For our standard costs we will have BOM Components, Activities from Routings and additive costs. We also have activated Material Ledger and will use it for Actual Costing, the objective being that each and every actual cost will be brought to the SKU level. For BOM components and activities that is no problem since it will be done through settlement.
However for cost components that have additive costs how do we settle them to the material ledger? Do we need to do MR22 for difference between standard and actual? Is there a way to do this through a template allocation or some other allocation method?
Thank you

Hi
Lets assume, you have Std cost of 100 USD involving Material + Labor and an additive cost of 10 USD entered manually from CK74N...
During production order processing - You would issue material components and confirm Labor hrs... Say, this amounts to 120 USD as against the std cost of 100 USD...
However, in prod orders, there will be nothing posted against the additive std cost of 10 USD... If you wish, you need to post it either through template allocation from some cost centers or use some assessment cycle or transfer manually from KB11N or use a costing sheet

How to avoid actual cost error log while confirm production order activity

Hi
I dont want to post actual activity cost via production order activity confirmation. But i want standard value keys for my production duration purpose. So,i defined activites(strd value key) in work center without assigning cost center to that work center. While i confirm in CO11N, system throws erro log as Actual cost calculation contain errors and allows me to confirm the activities. I am doing MB31 and all CO settlement activities also. But when i try to close the order it says error log exists,so closing of order is not possible. How to overcome this problem as i dont want to capture any cost of activites via production order,but i want confirmation only for production analysis.

Hi
Issue is resolved thru PP forum. Thanks for ur reply.
Solution lies in Control key of routing and BOM costing relevancy.

How to post actual COGS to PA

Dear all,
When we create billing document, revenue and COGS(cost of goods sold) will be posted to PA. This COGS is standard cost which got from condition type VPRS, however, it is not actual cost now. After we run material ledger, actual cost is calculated, my question is how to adjust COGS according to the actual cost in the system? this means we should post a variance to COPA.
Would anyone help me ?
Rgds,
Ben

Hi Ben,
Like I said, you'll have to force the posting of the Actual Costs to COPA.
For this, create a Costing Key for the transfer of Actual Cost using the following menu path:
SPRO --> ... --> Profitability Analysis --> Master Data --> Valuation --> Setup Valuation using Material Cost Estimate --> Define Access to Actual Costing / Material Ledger.
In this screen, you need to select the Val View "Legal" and the Type of Valuation as option 2 or 3 (the option should include transfer of Total Cost).
Leave the Time reference as Period according to line item and set the radio button "Leave line item plant as cost est plant" for the plant value.
Once done, click "Val Field allocation ... MAP" in the lefthand window and key the VF you wish to post the MAP value to.
Now assign this Costing Key to any combination of values for which you wish to transfer actual costs. Make sure the Point of Val is 02 for Actual Costs transfer.
Save and run KE27 now. The system should post the value(s) to the mentioned value field(s).
Cheers.

How to analyse actual cost for each operation in Process/Production Order?

Hi all,
IN SAP, I know that we can analyze plan cost for Operation in Process Order/ Production Order.
However, I can not analyze Actual cost for Operation .
I know the object when I good issue material is ORDER, not OPERATION.
But, as requirement of users, they want to analyze actual cost for each Operation.
CAn SAP do this analyze?
If Yes, What should I do in SAP to have this reports?
THanks in advance,
Emily Nguyen

Hi Emily,
as I see from one other message that you're using material ledger. Then your expectation is apparently to also see the actual costs of materials in your production order by operation.
This is not supported. Actual material costs are handed up in material ledger multi-level settlement from one material to the next, bypassing the production orders.
That means the production order will always contain the material costs valuated at plan price, not at actual price.
For activity prices that might be better, when you revalue the orders at actual activity prices with CON2. But even there I am not sure that it will always be assigned correctly to the operations.
There is currently an enhancement in development, the operation level costing. But that will affect more the planned cost side not the actuals. Might be interesting to learn more about your requirements and the use case behind.
best regards,
Udo

How to post actual in WBS element.

Hi There,
I have one typical situation here.
My company dont have Project system in SAP. now they are implementing PS.
They wanted to bring all projects and Wbs element in SAP
They have budget on XYZ wbs elemnt is about 150,000 USD. and they have spend 100,000.
so i want to post 100,000 as actual.
So they can have avialable balance of 50,000 USD.
can anyone tell me the procedure. ?
Thanks in advance..

For any movement of goods receipt or goods issues, system posts FI documenet and system looks for WBS element also.
After entering WBS element only system posts FI document.
In some cases we need to buy without purchase order (Oils/Lubricants/Spare parts etc.), in such case we use direct FI purchases (F-02) and posts FI document and enters WBS element and system posts directly to WBS

Actual costs posted to work order without maintaining costing variant

hi,
i havent maintained costing variant for work order(maintenance order) type i used to create the work order. so when i posted goods issue, how does the actual costs get posted with out maintaining the costing variant for work order type. what is the role of costing variant configuration in work order type settings.
thanks,
monica

Hi monica,
Costing variant forms the link between the application and Customizing, since all cost estimates are carried out and saved with reference to a costing variant. The costing variant contains all the control parameters for costing.
The configuration parameters are maintained for costing type, valuation variants, date control, and quantity structure control.In costing type we specify which field in the material master must the price be updated,
In valuation variant we specify in what order the system should go about accessing prices for the material master planned price, standard price, moving average price etc. Further which is the price which should be considered for activity price. How the system should select BOM and routing.
assign points if useful

How to post costs after project close?

I wish to post costs to a project ( WBS/Network) after the status is set to close?
Can you please tell me how we can do it.

In the Closed status you can no longer make any changes to the project hierarchy. The status is passed on to subordinate WBS elements.
The status allows
You to post actual costs to orders and networks that are assigned to the WBS element, as long as their status permit this
The status prohibits
You from assigning networks, production orders or CO orders to the WBS element.
You from posting actual costs to the WBS element
The status deactivates assets in construction that are assigned to the WBS element.
You can cancel the Closed status. In this case the system sets the Technically completed status.
However, it is best not to post costs to the subordinate WBS/network either. If required, undo the CLSD status and post.

CO-PC Cost components are not assigned when actual cost was posted

Hi Expert,
I estimate material cost by Tcode CK11N, the result is cost components were assigned to plan cost. It's okay. But, I have a problem when posting actual cost.
After actual cost was posted by confirming backflush, I run Tcode KKBC_PKO to check again, but Cost Component field is not assigned to actual cost.
Please tell me the reason.
Regard,

Hi,
Thank for your answer.
I will check Cost component Structure, and ensure that all cost elements were assigned.
Additional, cost components were assigned to PLAN cost, but not assigned to ACTUAL cost.
Do I have to configure something more?

Transfer actual costs from a Profit Center to another

Hello,
I need to know how to transfer actual costs from a profit center to another starting from a certain date, after having changed the corresponding profit center value in a Wbe.
Thanks,
Giovanna

Your future postings are taken care to the new Profit Center. You only need to address the posting in Jan 2007 or probably until the period you changed the Profit center in the WBS.
Since the value and number of transactions are likely to be limited in January 2007, you may want to use <b>9KE0</b> which is a direct posting to PCA. Identify the value that has gone to the old PCA for the period of Jan 2007, take that amount by cost element, use the same cost elements and amount and make the transfer posting. This is like a journal entry. Debit the old profit center and credit the new profit center with the same amount. This can be controlled by the minus signs to the amount.
Caution; This practise may not be followed too often, the access to thist-code may be restricted to avoid frequent usage.
For the history, you can take a download of the WBS with the amount you are going to transfer.

Double actual cost in Profitability Analysis for cancelled billing doc

Dear expert
Say we have a billing doc posted in May, and we run ML closing and KE27 during month end closing, which transfered actual cost from material ledger to value field in PA.
In June, we cancelled that billing document, the question is why the system automatically posted actual cost of cancelled billing docs to value field in PA right away (without KE27)?
The reason I asked is because when we run KE27 for June closing, the SAP transfer again actual cost from material ledger to value field in PA. So we will have double posting of actual cost for cancelled billing document
Please help, which setting did I missed to prevent SAP automatically posted actual cost of cancelled billing docs to value field in PA right away (without KE27)?
Thx

Hi
Thats because you had double +ve also..
Let me u/s your situation better
1.PGI Posted COGS of Say, 100
2. KE27 posted, say, addnl 20
So, total COGS is now 120
3. You posted a reversal now... It should post -100 and not -120.... Is it posting -120?
Run KE27 for this month and see if it really posts -120 again... If it does, raise an OSS message to SAP... They are liable to help
In my opinion, there is no Config set up for this... At best, you can try to assign different VF in KE4R for PV = 02 as compared to PV=01 and see if it helps
