Is it possible to do Standard Cost Estimate even if we have open sales Orde

Hi,
I have a small doubt and questions regarding Standard cost estimate.
Is it possible to Execute Standard cost estimate when we have Open Sales orders and Open Purchase orders?
Is there any problem if we execute standard cost estimate when we have open Sales orders and Open purchase orders?
Kindly clarify my doubt and help me.
Thanks
Supriya

Dear Supriya,
There is no relation between sales order or purchase order and a standard cost estimate.
Standard cost estimate basically sums up the cost of the BOM components and the operation(activity
cost) or the processing cost(if sub-contracted) based on the material's procurement type and the
costing variant used.
Check and revert back.

  • No release of production order without standard cost estimate

    Hi All,
    I have an requirement, that is production order for a material should not be released or saved if standard cost estimate for that period is not released. Basically it should not allow to release or save the production for that material, is SCE is not run for that period. I tried various options, i also overheard its possible through user exit and many people have succeed in that.
    Has anybody overcome this problem, please do let me know. And which user exit??
    Thanks in advance
    With Best Regards

    Hi...
    I have faced the same problem in my previous project. What i have instructed to my client is to take control of Master data and put the status as "03" Blocked for movement till the statndard cost is released for this material.
    You can relase the status to "E2" in Cross Plant Status Field in Costing one view once the cost estimate is released for the material.
    I hope this works for you.
    Please let me know if you require any fruther information.
    Thank you,

  • Material ledger and standard cost estimate

    Hi Gurus,
    When standard cost estimate is done in a scenario, where  material ledger is activated, does the entire stock get revaluated andl post a credit in my P/L? Is it possible  to keep my inventory(FG and SFG) at periodic unit price ie at the actual manufacturing price over a longer period say 3 years? Please fill this gap in my understanding.
    Best regards
    Vimal

    Hi Vimal,
    Material ledger uses the standard price as 'preliminary price' always during the current month, independent of the question if a new standard price was estimated and released.
    But: After period end, when the actual price is calculated the posting will adjust the inventory and P/L accounts to the actual price, with posting date in the recent period.
    That means if you have a material that was manufactured once and then consumed over a 3 year period, and during that period you calculate the same material in a standard cost estimate with changing results, that would mean: Looking back at any month during the 3 years the consumption and stock values will be valued at the actual price of manufacturing. But during the currently open period it will always be valuated at the price of the last released cost estimate.
    I hope I understood your scenario correct...

  • Can we use two costing variants for standards cost estimate release.

    Hi,
    We have 2 plants (plant 5100 and plant 5200) under company code 5000.
    We have run standard cost estimate(CK11N) for material 98001000027 at plant 5100 using costing variant ZG01 and at plant 5200 using costing variant ZG02. First, we released  standard cost estimate (CK24) for this materia at plant 5100 and set (in marking allowance) costing variant ZG01 and costing version 01. Next time when we are trying to release the standard cost estimate for the same material for plant 5200, it is automatically picking ZG01 as costing variant in marking allowance and it is not allowing to change the costing variant to ZG02 saying Company code 5000: Release already carried out, cancellation not possible, Message no. CK797.
    Is it possible to use two different costing variants for release of standard cost estimate for a material at two different plants at the same company code? If so how?
    Please suggest.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply again.
    What is the benefit of assigning "Single Valuation Variant same to different Plants" ? In costing variant also we can assign maximum only one valuation variant and this valuation variant will default for all the plants, and hence I dont think it is necessary to assign same valuation variant to different plants.
    My  issue is :
    Example: ( Standard Cost Estimate for material 98001000027)
    Plant - 1
    Material Cost                                             Rs.100
    Labour Cost                                               Rs.50
    Overheads (10% of Labour Cost)                  Rs.5
    (say ,through costing sheet - 1)
    Total Standard Cost Estimate                      Rs.155
    Plant - 2
    Material Cost                                             Rs.150
    Labour Cost                                               Rs.100
    Overheads (20% of Labour Cost)                  Rs.20
    (say, through costing sheet - 2)
    Total Standard Cost Estimate                      Rs.270
    Now, Please explain why we cannot have two Standard Cost Estimates for a material at two different plants? If it is possible to have two standard cost estimates for a material at two different plants, how to take care of  overheads (rate of which varies) at two different plants (plant - 1 > 10% and plant- 2>20%) as we can assign maximum one costing sheet to a valuation variant variant?
    How to map the system so as to meet the above requirement?
    Thanks,

  • No standard cost estimate found for the material

    Hi,
    When we are trying to generate the bill systems throws the error as "no statandard cost estimate found" whereas the material is a kmat material.
    Actually as per the requirement we should not Run standard cost estimate for any material,we will update the standard price in MR21
    What are the settings that i need to do  to avoid the above error message while doing billing?
    Following error msg is appearing:-

  • Price calculated in a standard cost estimate

    Hi everyone,
    Would someone know how to recalculate a price in a standard cost estimate that has been released yet?
    Normally, SAP allows you to calculate a cost estimate only once per period but I would like to recalculate it for the ongoing period. Would you have any idea?
    Nb: Although it is possible, I do not want to change it manually. I would like to go through the whole process (CK11N -> CK24).
    Thanks in advance,
    Ronan

    Thanks a lot for your answer. That answers my question.
    By the way, with the transaction you gave me, you can delete a cost estimate that has be validated for the ongoing month.
    Cheers,

  • Excise Duty - Standard Cost Estimate

    Hi Experts,
    We have defined Excise duty as one of the cost component in the cost component structure.  Can some one explain how this Excise duty is posted as planned values in the Standard Cost Estimate ( For material cost quantity from the BOM and price from Material Master is picked up according to the Valuation Variant - defined strategy - similarly for Excise Duty how the system captures the Value).
    Please Help - thanks in advance.

    Hi
    If your Plant is not in an Excise Free Zone - Then You should not add Excise Duty as a cost component because you will be getting credit for the same
    If your Plant is in an Excise Free Zone - Then your MAP/Planned Price etc must be inclusive of Excise duty.... This is handled by marking the excise condition as Non Deductible
    So, in short, there is no way to show it separate... For Case b, you can use CK74N to add Excise component as Additive cost

  • Problem with rounding in standard cost estimate.

    Hi All,
    Happy 4th of July!
    I have a problem with the standard cost estimate where the system try to calculate overhead costs (from costing sheet) with a fix percentage (9.7%) to the value coming from material consumption costs element.
    Let say I have $1.71 material consumption and the overhead rate of 9.7%
    The real calculation should be (1.71*0.097) = $0.16587
    But at CK11N screen, it shows only $0.16 (two decimal rounding)
    Is there a way that I can bump the rounding to at least 3 decimal point to make it more accurate?
    Very appreciate any input you guys can share. Thank you.
    Charitha

    Hi Chari ,
    My experience says that you can use only 2 decimals ..
    Moreover , please have a look into SAP Note : 639410 - CK11N, CK13N: Message CK869 due to rounding
    differences.
    There a some source code corrections also on rounding differences- check if it helps you also...

  • Standard cost estimate could not be found for the material

    Dear All,
    We have 4 manufacturing plants and 30 sale depots. We are maintaining price control (S) for FG and SFG in Manufacturing plants,price control (V) at depots for the same material code. we are getting an error message " standard cost estimate could not be found for the material" while doing billing at depot.
    Please give me suggestion.
    Your suggestion should be appreciate.
    Thanks in advance............
    AND
    My client want to see profitability at manufacturing plant level and need break up for the COGM. So how can i get the values of depot sales.
    please let me know how to do........

    Hai
    Price control should be S for Depot also. You need to run standard cost estimate in DEPOT after entering additive cost under CK74N for frieght, excise duty etc. To transfer the standard cost from the source plant you  need to make configuration  in OMD9 defining the receiver and sender combination so that system can pick up the cost from source plant. This special produrement type needs to be asigned in the material masters of DEPOT under MRP 2 view.

  • Recursive Loop Error while doing standard cost estimate

    SAP Gurus,
    We are trying to do standard cost estimate on a material and we are getting error because it is going in recursive loop even though we have used "recursive allowed" indicator for item components in the BOM. The error message numbers are CK 730 and CK 740. We are using 4.6c. I have tried the same scenario in ECC 6.0 and still I get the same problem.
    Below is my BOM structure:
    Material 10890345 (has low-level code 012)
            ---> 10867220 (has low-level code 013) and has recursive allowed indicator
    10867220
            ---> 10846733  (has low-level code 014) and has recursive allowed indicator
    10846733
            ---> 10890345 (has low-level code 012) and has recursive allowed indicator
    According to me, the BOM for material 10846733 is causing the problem.
    For some weird reason while doing the costing run for material 10890345, it s not stopping and going in a loop.10890345  and 10846733 should ideally have the same low-level code as they are recursive.
    Please help to provide some solutions at the earliest on how to avoid recursive loop during costing.

    Dear,
    I have 2 things to shear with you.
    The method we followed to solve the iteration is as below
    1.Config change -
    Valuation variant in the costing variant, we changed the sequence as below
    material valuation
    4 planned price 1
    2 std price
    3 Mov ave price
    2. Material master change
    made all the semi finished goods and finished goods
    procurement type = E,
    costing with qty structure,
    Enter the planned price1
    By doing this what happens is
    when system first start the iteration, takes the planned price 1 and start iterating and next time in the second iteration it takes the calculated price from qty structure till it finds the difference between the value calculated is less than .001. Then it gives the result
    Why lot size is important is, in our case in some levels the usage is very less compared to the first material header qty and system used to stop in between  and not even reaching the last level as during the cycle it was reaching less .001 difference. may be in your case it may not be the case...just check
    Please come back after trying this. this was the only last option i had to solve the issue in my client.
    Another alternative is to have a different material for costing purpose to stop the iteration which i will not recommend as we need to do some calculation for each stage and input the cost of dummy material in each stage.
    My client is happy with the result as the difference between manual calculation and system calculation is less then .1%...this is because SAP will not consider the difference beyond .001, but in excel you get as many as decimals you want.

  • Blocking creation of production order if standard cost estimate is not done

    Hi PP gurus,
    Can anyone help me in blocking the creation of production order if the standard cost estimate is not done for the particular posting period.

    Hi,
    I do not think there exist a standart check. You can use exit EXIT_SAPLCOZF_003 to block creation of production order by sending error messages based on any condition.
    Regards.

  • Re:No release of production order without standard cost estimate

    Hello Experts
    I do not want to release any production order without standard cost estimate
    I have come acroos the same problem raised by some other users and can you please suggest how to achieve this?
    Is there any way to achieve this without user exit?
    Thanks and Regards
    Subbu

    Hello Subbu,
    In this case, you need to put the status as "B4" Blocked in costing 1 view of material master, when you create the costing view and change it to "03" status when you released the cost estimate.
    Please note that this field can be overwritten in MRP view also. Hence please get the good control of material master and good coordination with PP team to achive this.
    Please let me know if you require any clarifications.
    Thank you,

  • Issue with Standard Cost estimates / Material Ledger

    Background:
    We have been using SAP for the last 5 years with Material Ledger active. Due to a number of reasons, we have not revised its standard cost estimates from 2001 till now. This means that at month end, we do not mark and release prices as recommended, nor do we mark prices and use dynamic release.
    What Happened:
    A new material called PFSW3 was made. This is a FERT. Before production
    could start my team released the standard cost estimate for this material. Production was now able to proceed without problem. Then, when the time came to sell the material (VF02), SAP again raised the error 'cost estimate not found'. On checking the standard price in MM03, we discovered that the future cost estimate was missing. So we created and marked a new cost estimate in the middle of February 2007.
    Problem:
    When the first sale took place, SAP released the marked cost estimate and posted a Price Change document to adjust for the new standard cost. I understand this was due to dynamic release. Now, when month end came, the system settled all the production orders of material PFSW3 but did not do multi level costing on it.
    Internal Investigation:
    My team has determined that the material PFSW3 has price determination 2 set by mistake. All our other production materials (HALB and FERT) are
    set to price determination 3 in the material master (accounting view).
    Questions:
    To sum this situation up,
    we need to know why the material PFSW3 was not marked closed in its period status (CKM3) at the time of closing through CKMLCP?
    What are the implications of not closing this material in Feb 2007 (current period status is showing 'Quantities and values entered')?
    How can we close this material this month?
    The future cost estimate is again missing for PFSW3 in March 2007 and I
    fear we are going to face more problems as this material is sold to customers.
    Please respond this is an urgent issue.

    Dear Shumyl,
    Please, have a look at Note 645083 - Material period status set to "Closing Entry Completed" that might help to closing your material in previous period.
    Hope it will be useful.
    Regards,
    Flaviano.

  • Report showing labor and machine time based on standard cost estimate

    Hi Friends,
    Ours is an Manufacturing organisation & we have a requirement of report showing machine and labor time as per part wise & cost center wise. We need to run the report before saving standard cost estimate [CK11N]  in order to see the part wise or cost center wise discrepancies in machine and labor time. If any one could help in creating such report in SAP  it will be of great help.
    Regards,
    Varsha

    Hi Varsha,
    you can jump from CK11N to a own report by
    Menu Function 'Costs -> User Exit Display'
         Cost Report 1 / 2 / 3
    The own report can be implemented via (SMOD) enhancement SAPLXCKA
    The report will be handed over the currently displayed in the program interface.
    some example coding is provided for the exit.

    Hi,
    You need to look into periodic reports. Here is the best one to provide the copmarision between two period -
