  • Production order cost has exceeded the released budget of its WBS

    Dear All,
    I have got a case where the prod. order cost has exceeded the released budget of its concerned WBS.
    I found that the budget check is active and working fine for Prod. order and other activities.
    I am not getting , how this default has occured.
    Please help me resolving this case.

    If the budget check is active against Released budget and Production order assigned to WBS has crossed released budget. It should not happen.
    Please run CJEN and check the report.

    Regards,
    Sampally

    Hello,
    If the project is of technical up gradation then with no functionality changed, Then the job of abap consultant is critical, right from creating spdd and spau, interfaces, debug the new programs and fix the bugs if exists in the new programs. The functional consultant has to test the new system from functions point of view; functional consultant is responsible for taking user acceptance test before going on live to the new system.

  • Production order cost estimate

    Hello,
    what is prodcution order cost estimate.

    SR,
    Production order cost estimate is the estimate of all the costs likey to be incurred on the completion of the production oreder.
    Following is the way described how tp do this in SAP.
    Creating a Cost Estimate for a Production Order Without Quantity Structure
    Choose Accounting-> Controlling->Cost Object Controlling->Product Cost by Period->Planning->CO Production Order->Create/change plan.
    Enter the order and choose ENTER.
    The dialog box Copy cost estimate appears. The system proposes a costing variant through the planning profile. Choose a costing variant.
    If you want to copy costing items using the reference and simulation costing functions, enter either a base planning object or the material and control parameters for a cost estimate without quantity structure.
    Enter the lot size that you want to use for costing, and choose ENTER.
    The system displays the list screen of the cost estimate without quantity structure.
    Enter the costing items.
    Save the cost estimate.
    If you have entered a costing sheet and (if applicable) an overhead key in the master record of the production order, the system calculates the overhead and assigns it to costing items of item category G. You cannot plan the costs for a production order using a cost estimate without quantity structure if the production order is linked to a run schedule header.
    Hope this helps you.

  • Product cost v/s Production Order cost

    Hi all Guru's,
                            Can any one help me in understanding difference between product cost and production order cost in SAP.
    Will give full marks for helpful answer.
    Thanks,
    Abhishek
    Edited by: ABHISHEK AGRAWAL on Jan 29, 2008 9:46 AM

    Dear Abhishek,
    Standard Cost Estimate or Material cost Estimate is nothing
    but the standard cost for the Inhouse Manufactured materials
    (FERT) = Raw Materials Cost + Activity(Operation Cost)
    Cost+Overhead Cost if maintained for the Company code.
    This cost will gets stamped in the material master in Costing2
    view,under Current Planned Price field.
    This cost will be the Planned Cost of the Production order and
    after confirmation of the order the actual cost and the variances
    for the production order can be viewed.
    So the Production order cost is for the order quantity say for
    Eg: for a quantity of 100.
    The cost(variance) will be settled against that production order
    after confirmation and TECO status.
    I hope this will be helping you.

  • In PP Interface related issues the role of functional consultant

    In PP Interface related issues what is the role of functional consultant .  what is the approach steps to analyse and resolve the issues  in XI, interface, idoc, etc.,

    For issues relating to interfaces, a functional person would need to diagnose what is causing the issue & thereby informing the technical person where to fix it, if the issue is due to system setup.
    As regards to the steps, I just wish there was a manual which read something like
    10 steps on how to analyze....
    unfortunately there is none that I have come across or even if one is ever written on those lines will be very specific, so not much of use for your need. A good approach would be to have a clear understanding of what the interface is supposed to do, which would assist you in fixing the issues.

  • After production order settlement, where does the cost go?

    Dear Experts,
    I understand after we did the "order settlement" for production order, the cost will be settled to material manufactured from the said production order.  Say, the total cost is $10,000 to produce 1000 units of finished goods (FG), then the cost settled to each individual FG at $10 each, am I right?  Where can I see the settled cost in the material master?..
    I checked in the cost center report, S_ALR_87013611, I can see the cost Credited from "production" cost center with a breakdown in settlement cost element such as machine hour, setup and personnel hour.  I understand the other side of Debit was to the production order, and only after order settlement, I'm not sure which cost center will be Debited.
    That would be the CO side, how about the FI, would there be any cost posted to the GL side after production order settlement to the material?
    Please advise..
    regards,
    Abraham

    Hi Abraham,
    It's not the button i mentioned. I was just trying to take u to the accounting document from the settlement screen. well just drill down the settlement screen and u'll get it. No big deal.
    But more important is the concept. I'll share my understanding here. (cost by production order)
    Any value that flow into controlling module should have a cost object. Here production order is the cost object.
    First u create a production order (cost object) for say 1 unit of X with a std price of Rs. 10
    Std price comes frm material master as a result of std cost estimate
    U start production - Raw materials are consumed - 2 qty x Rs.3.
    Entry RM Consumption Dr Rs. 6    Inventory Cr Rs.6 (Prod order is debited with Rs.6)
    Activity (Let's say machine hours - 3 Hrs x Rs.2) According to the routing it was  2 hrs but actual production took 3 hrs.
    Entry - None - But production order is debited with Rs. 6.
    When production is complete for 1 qty of X, entry flows
    Finished Goods Dr Rs.10    Change in Stock  Cr. Rs.10  (Production order is credited with Rs.100
    Abraham, now visualise both sides of the production order. It will have debit of Rs.12 and credit of Rs.10.
    Now accountant sees the production order and confirms the values are ok and puts the status of TECO to the order. which means the order is technically complete.
    Now when u run the order settlement, this production order is picked up by the system (due to it's status). System sees difference between debit and credit of Rs 2.
    So it cedits the production order with Rs. 2. Now both debit and credit of production order is equal (Rs.12)
    Entry Price diff A/c Rs,2     Change is stock A/c Rs.2
    Now this rs. 2 is settled to COPA. It does not flow to material.
    Reason:  in a std costing system materials are valued at standard cost and
    Hope this helps. Do revert in case of doubts.
    Best Regards

  • What is the Roles Of Bridging Account

    *What Are The Roles Of These Accounts Bridging, Non-Invoiced Sales Orders And Non-Invoiced Revenue in Periodic Account Assignments form? [ID 1335054.1]*
    The Expense account is there to accommodate European accounting practices.
    The Bridging account (as seen in WIP accounting classes) is used only in France.
    The bridging account (and possibly others) was included at the request of the Global Accounting Engine team on behalf of France in the setup form at design time; but it has never been used as it was decided that transfer To GL would remain manual for the moment. In other words, today PAC only generates distributions based on GAAP/Brazil accounting.
    In other words: In US accounting, when you put something in inventory it is accounted as an asset, in France it is accounted as an expense; so during a period you total all expenses and at the end of a period in order to do a fiscal Profit and Loss, you "convert" to assets by using a bridging account : you debit the inventory account and credit the bridging account. This is done by Product Nature: So you have a Bridging account for raw materials, for finished goods and semi-finished.
    The fields 'Non-invoiced Sales Orders' and 'Non-invoiced Revenue' was set up with a view to replacing the functionality (used in Europe) that is currently provided by the Global Accounting engine (AX). However, this has not yet been implemented in the apps - which currently support only US GAAP & Brazilian accounting as methods of generating distributions from PAC.
    User Guide
    2 – 72 Oracle Cost Management User’s Guide
    Bridging: This account is optional.
    You can also optionally enter an Analytical Invoice Price Variance, Analytic a l Purchase Mirror, Non–Invoiced Sales Order, Non–Invoiced Revenue, Analytical Revenue Mirror, Analytical Margins of Goods Sold, and Average Cost Variance account.

  • Production Order Cost Analysis - Goods Receipt

    I have been assigned to create analysis of production orders.  I need to show the volume variance as well as the cost variance using both the initial planned costs as well as the actual costs when the production order is completed.  All this information is available in COR3 on cost analysis, but I need to allow for display of multiple orders based on plant and date information.
    I have found that the ingredients are in the table RESB with most of the information that I need, I have not had luck in finding what table has the goods receipt information (produced product).  SAP help says that the fields are in KKBCS_OUT, which is a structure that I can't find where populated from.
    I would appreciate any assistance in this endeavor.
    Thanks
    Steven M Engel

    Thanks for the suggestions, but they have not provided me with what I think I need to give a solution to my superiors.
    I will attempt to clarify what I need to do.  We are a manufacturing facility.  We have a BOM that says to make 10 E, I need 3 A, 2 B, 3 C, and 4 D.  Each of the components (A to D) have a set cost at the time the production order is created, this looks to be saved as part of the planned cost in RESB.  Produced product E also has a planned cost at time production order created (as seen by COR3) but that is not stored in RESB.
    At production time we actually use 2.5 A, 2.5 B, 3 C, and 5 D to make the 10 E.  COR3 cost analysis is showing me the cost variance.  This cost variance has two parts, part 1 is because the quantities of the inputs are different.  Part 2 is because between the time the production order was created, and the production order was finished, the costs of A to E may have changed.
    I need to breakout the different components to show management how much of the total cost variance is attributed to each part.  I need a report that management can run (or have run) that will allow them choose by plant, date, end product, etc.  so they can direct what changes need to be made to costing, pricing, and BOMs.
    I hope that I have laid out what I am trying to do in a coherent manner.  Also I am new to the SAP system with less than 1 year using the system.
    Thanks for your time.

    hello, friend.
    actually, you can search for subjects like this in the threads archive.  you will be pleasantly surprised to find that there are already many threads with similar issues and that you can find answers to even more otherwise unrealized questions.  and you don't have to wait for anyone to reply.
    it looks like the issue is urgent for you, and this is why i am attaching this feed from Sadhu Kishore, which was posted some time ago... (if he replies to your thread, you may choose to award him points).
    "Hi,
    The transport workflow provides a framework for transporting enhancements or new developments of existing business functions in a system landscape. It provides a direct connection between development and transport administration. The transport workflow manages the transport process, determines the user for each individual step automatically, and then displays an interface which they can use to perform the task directly.
    It is an efficient method of transporting a selected number of requests into a group of transport targets, and uses clearly defined approval steps to ensure the quality of your target systems. The requests can be transportable change requests, Customizing requests, relocation transports or transports of copies. The transport targets do not need to be located on defined transport routes. However, the transport workflow can involve some risks, caused by the dependencies between transport requests:
    Import sequence
    It is important that you import requests in the correct order, so that development work is up-to-date in the target system.
    Incompleteness
    It is important that the functions transported in the transport proposal are complete; otherwise errors may occur in the import system.
    A request is not imported, but it contains an important data element. You use another request to transport a table that references this data element. Since the referenced data element does not exist in the target system, activation errors will occur when you import the second request.
    The transport workflow is a generic workflow. Its ability to process the transport route configuration in TMS enables it to adapt itself to any system landscape. This means you can transport multiple requests into multiple targets, even if these targets are not located on the transport routes.
    This reduces the amount of work for the transport administrator significantly. The automated nature of the workflow also reduces the likelihood of errors during transports.
    You can use the transport workflow in two different ways.
    Transport workflow as a transport strategy
    If you have production systems in your landscape that can only accept approved transports, we recommend that you use the transport workflow to organize and coordinate the transport process.
    To do this, set Workflow-controlled transports as your transport strategy and configure the transport workflow.
    When you release a transport request, the transport workflow starts automatically and the screen Create Transport Proposal appears. The requests are then released implicitly when the transport proposal is sent to the transport administrator.
    Special transport workflow (mass transports)
    You can use the special transport workflow to make transports that do not follow the defined transport routes or that take place outside the normal transport schedule (part of the mass transport strategy). These transports may be corrections made in the development system that have to be transported into the production system without delay.
    To use the special transport workflow, set Mass transports as your transport strategy and configure the transport workflow."
    thanks.  you have been most generous.
    regards.

  • What is the role of java in the netweaver platform

    Hi All
    sapnetweaver platform is the integration of the java and abap.then what is the role of java in that netweaver platform
    regards
    Sunil

    Hi Sunil,
            Java makes Sap NetWeaver more powerfull than it was before.
           One of the new additions to the Java functionality of NetWeaver includes the Java Virtual Machine container technology. This will allow standard Java code to run on a framework around the Java Virtual Machine itself. It does this by reducing the number of parallel users per virtual machine. It also improves on the overall memory consumption, the application stability and the number of affected users in the event of a screen freeze, loss of data or the need for re-keying of information.
          The JVM technology also includes several added features designed to assist developers in managing error resolutions. This includes the ability for developers to switch a user process in the production system in or out of debugging mode on the fly allowing for minimum downtime. While also including tracing and monitoring tools for error analysis and hopefully a quick resolution.
             So now, not only does NetWeaver offer support for such standards as HTTP, XML, Web services and of course ABAP, but now it also offers support for Java. All of this adds to SAP’s future interoperability with such applications as Microsoft .NET and IBM WebSphere.
             Now that SAP NetWeaver supports Java we will start to see a real positive impact in the marketplace for those who are in search of a cost-effective means to deploy and manage Java applications in their enterprise and small businesses. For companies of all sizes looking for a way to adapt quickly to market changes, respond to unforeseen challenges and to seize new opportunities, SAP NetWeaver is a tool that is worth looking into.
