How to post Overhead

Dear Sir,
We want to post the Material Overhead against a Production Order (in config already Overhead key /rate / cost element etc are defined) .
Kindly guide as What are the steps to be followed to post the Overhead and how can we see the posted overhead amount against the Production Order .
Also pl guide , can we do the overhead posting independent of the WIP run , say WIP has been run for the period May-08 and then we want to post the overhead on 15th June . Will the posted overhead get reflected against the Production Order cost also .
Regards

Hi B Mittal,
Materials are to be assigned to an overhead group in its material master. Overhead keys are grouped together under the overhead group in the configuration.Rates are to be maintained for those overhead keys under the overhead rate for overhead type actual and plan for the valid period. The overhead rate to be assigned in the costing sheet. The overhead rate can be either percentage based or quantity based. If it is a quantity based, then the cost element needs to capture the quantity (as maintained in its master data).
When you run the cost estimate, in order to see the overhead to appear, the costed BOM and routing shall have the appropriate material or activity type, whose cost element is given as the base for the overhead rate in the costing sheet.The costing sheet shall be assigned to the valuation variant for the plant in the configuration.
please do the following step:
1) Create Production order & define settlement rule - CO01
2) Confirm the production order - during this actual cost calculated. - CO15
3) Overhead Calculation - KGI2
4) WIP Calculation - KKAX
5) Variance Calculation - KKS2
6) Settlement Order :- KO88
we will see the actual OH - T.Code - KSI4
Than'x

Does anyone know, whether there exists a function module or BAPI for posting plan costs to a WBS Element? K_COSTS_PLAN_PS does not work, because RKP1 is not allowed.

How to post Actual costs

Dear all,
I have number of activities in that i have costs(activities) planned cost is 1lac. But actual am not able get in project planning board. Plz suggest me how to go further, If i miss actual confirmation somewhere.
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 .

TCode to post a Controlling Document in Object Currency only

Is there a TCode that can be used to post to a secondary cost element but only updating the Object Currency Value?
I had an issue with our recent periodic Assessment. Some of the posted assessment documents have line items that have different Object Currency value than that of the CoArea Currency value, even though all the cost objects are all in USD. The CO Area currency as well as the Co Code currencies are also all in USD.

Hi,
You can try using allocation method assessment cycle... Immediately after entering the cycle name... u have option to select in "Field Groups" -->Object Currency.
Also consider the following documentation on object currency option given by sap...
Object currency:
The SAP System calculates sender values in object currency separately and distributes them separately. This only works if the object currency of all the objects (for example, cost centers or orders) is the same, since no conversion between object currencies takes place during processing.
For example, it is not possible to distribute a sender value to a receiver with a different currency. If this type of error occurs during processing, a warning is issued and the SAP System processes the object currency as if the indicator is inactive.
If the indicator is inactive, the object currency being posted is determined from the controlling area currency by converting it to the object currency of the sender or receiver when the sender credit/ receiver debit is posted.
Example
The controlling area currency is USD.
Sender A distributes 50% each to receiver B and C.
The posted values on sender A are in object currency:
DEM 1000.00
For receiver B and C, object currency DEM is also set.
If "Object currency" is activated, the following values result from sender A and receivers B and C:
Sender A Receiver B Receiver C
1000 DEM
-1000 DEM * 500 DEM * 500 DEM *
If "Object currency" is activated, the SAP System updates the values in object currency beside the controlling area currency and posts three line items (*).
If it is not active, the following values result:
Sender A Receiver B Receiver C
1000 DEM
- 590 USD * 295 USD * 295 USD *
If "Object currency" is inactive, the SAP System only shows the controlling area currency and posts three line items (*).
If receivers B and C have different object currencies than the sender currency, the SAP System ignores them and posts in CO area currency

How can I change Cost Code (WBS Code) separator?

Hi,
I was thinking that cost code separator is always dash "-".
But in our Demo database I saw that code separator is slash "/"
Where can I set the separator for cost codes?

There is a data definition called Cost Code Separator. You can change the default value to what you want the separator to be.

Secondary cost from WBS to AUC

Hi All,
I am facing a problem in posting secondary costs from WBS to AUC.
In Project systems they are considering secondary costs from the activities in the network. i settled the cost from network to WBS. and when i tried to settle From wbs to AUC system is asking for settlement costelement for secondary cost. But the secondary cost should be settled to costcenter but not to AUC.
Please suggest how can we do the settlement from WBS to AUC. How to handle settlement of secondary costs in this scenario.
Any help will be greatly appriciated.
Rgds,
Kumar.

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.

Which ERP scenarios can be performed with overhead cost orders?...

Hello SAP-team!
Which ERP scenarios can be performed with overhead cost orders?
- Material cost estimates with BOM and task lists
- Overhead cost collectors that post overhead costs to cost centers
- Accrued costs in CO
- Settlement to a G/L account if FI-AA is not being used
- Investment orders that post to fixed assets
ps: thanks to SAP-community!
Eugene

Actual overhead cost

how to calculate overhead cost?
i used KGI2. it did not work
any idea may help

Hi
Tcode KGI2 is correct but first check whether your cost sheet has done correctly or not.You have to give overhead percentage (Actual & plan) in Tcode KZS2.and assign proper cost element for credit.
Please let me know If not work and tell me error message you are getting.
If found useful then reward.

Display Report in Object currency

Hi all,
Report created by report painter, object currency(EUR), but report shows the values in controlling area currency(SEK).How can the values be seen in object currency in the report?
Thank you.

If it is a cost element report, then you can set the object currency as default in RPP0. If it is heirarchy reports, then you can use Settings>Currency inside the report, but you have to mention the currency here.

Validation to post against cost centre OR WBS (but one is required)

I am trying to set up GL accounts so that although cost centre or WBS element is optional, I need to ensure that ONE of these is selected before the item is posted.
I think this means I need to use a validation on the line item, but please could you let me know if you have come across this in the past, and how I should set up the validation.
Many thanks
Anna

The fact that Controlling is activated, When you create a cost element for that G/L account, it will be, by default mandatory to enter a cost object (like cost centre/WBS element etc) before it can be posted. There is no separate validation required.

How to make the cost center or WBS field optional for Vendor/customer line?

Dear experts:
Does anyone has the experience of releasing WBS or cost center fields to be optional for the customer or vendor line item?
I've tested in system, neither the field status control in GL account master data nor the FSG in posting key worked, I can't let the WBS field to display in the screen and ready for input.
So my conclusion is that the FSG control in not completely effective for customer/vendor line, it there any other method to let WBS to be optional in custer/vendor line items?
Our purpose for changing that is that we're using joint venture accounting, we need to let users to input a cost object for system to derive joint venture information. please do not suggest deriving JV information using other methods, because we're dealing with a special case, i.g. in a cross-company document, only a customer/vendor line in our company, so it's impossible to split JV information from offset lines, anyway, please help me out directly with my issue.

Hi, Lu:
If I understand your question correctly, you want to modify the FSG of recociliation account of Vendor/Customer to make sure Cost Center/WBS field display in transaction F-22/F-43 for example, right?
I am not sure whether it is possible, I also tried in ECC6.0 but failed to show these two fields. And I think that doesn't make sense to assign CO object to AP/AR reconciliation account, but assign it to Revenue/Expense account in following line items.
And You can use New General Ledger functionality Document Splitting to derive corresponding CO object information to Reconciliation Account line item, but it is enabled only in General Ledger level, not in subledger level.
If you find any other meaningful solution, please also share with us.
Thanks & BR, Lawrence
