Is it possible to have Auxiliary Cost Component as Value Fields in COPA

Respected Gurus,
Is it possible to have Auxiliary Cost Component as Value Fields in COPA - Please Advise?
Thanks
PM

Hi Praveen ,
It is possible.. in Transaction KE4R .. we have to specify the cost component structure .. where you map the cost components with value fields..
Please use your auxiliary Cost Comp Structure in KE4R to achieve your purpose

Assign direct material cost to value field in copa while issue to Prod orde

Dear All,
My requirement is like this:
There are some 16 material groups from A to P each containing some materials(finished goods).
I want to allocate overhead to different material groups(Charecteristic in copa) in COPA using the periodic assesment cycles. I am able to allocate overhead(admin & sales cost) to different value fields in copa from different cost centers.
I want to analyse the product cost and also the profitability of each material group in COPA using Report painter. Iam able to pull all the costs which i assign to value fields using assessment. But, i am NOT able to get the direct material cost which is issued to production orders using BOM.
My question is whether we can assign the direct material cost to any user defined value field(material cost value field) while the material is being issued to production orders. Is there any automated way where we can directly assign the direct material cost to value field in copa while issuing the material to Production orders.
Pls explain me whether we can do it. if yes how?
Thank you very much in advance.

PA is a Profitability analysis tool. That means it gets updated when a sale is made, not before. (Except for settlements and assessment of overheads.)
Goods issues for production gets updated in CO-PC, and needs to be analysed there. If you don't, you loose all the inbuilt tools for variance analysis, cost estimate comparisons, Wip Calculation etc. To the best of my knowledge, a Profitability Segment cannot be used as a cost object in Production Planning, because amongst others, you need to be able to capitalise the produced materials to stock at the end of the production run, or to WIP at the end of the Financial period,which is not possible with PS.
Similarly, overheads are recorded in CCA and needs to be analysed there.
If one goes against these big groupings in SAP, you always run into problems.

Reference to note 434873 - Auxiliary cost component split

1) We use material ledger. We already have a primary cost component split defined in our system.
2) We want to activate an auxiliary cost component split.
3) We read the note 434873, paragraph 2)b) (activating an auxiliary cost component split).
4) Who can assist us to develop the customer-specific Z program that is referenced in the note?

Hi to Evrybody,
I am trying to configure Primary Cost Component Split,, but I am confused what are the technical steps to configure such a structure 
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_40b/helpdata/en/7e/cb7e8643a311d189ee0000e81ddfac/content.htm
There are several requirements how to configure in SAP Primary Cost Component Split:
1)You assign a cost component structure in the CO version in Cost Center and Process cost planning! Which Cost Component Structure? The Primary Cost Component Structure or the Cost Component Structure?
2)You determined the prices through planned price iteration! We set this indicator in the CO Version itself?
3)You define a Cost Component Structure for Primary Cost Component Split of Product Cost Planning! How do we define it, via simply checking the check in OKTZ?
I want to understand when you create Cost Component Structure and Primary Cost Component Structure, which one of these 2 needs to be assigned in the CO version in Cost Center Accounting? And the other thing is I do not make the difference between Cost Component Structure and Auxiliary Cost Component Structure? Could you please shortly describe what is the difference? Other thing is when you create Primary Cost Component Structure and its components, DO THEY INCLUDE ONLY RANGE OF PRIMARY COST ELEMENTS OR IT IS A TECHNICAL STEP ONLY TO CHECK THAT CHECK IN OKTZ FOR Primary Cost Component Split. Let me know, thank you very much for your help and cooperation again!

Auxiliary cost component splitting issue in CK11N

Hi Friends,
We are using primary cost component split for the auxiliary cost component structure for getting more information. We have a machine cost in the main cost component which is split in three auxiliary cost component i.e. Energy, Maintenance and depreciation.
My belief is that with the activation of primary cost component split the costs have to flow from cost center in its primary cost element form to this cost component structure.
With the current data that we have, the cost component split is seen for all the three cost elements in the auxiliary cost component split u2013 But we are not able to trace the source of this amount as we do not have any splitting structure in place, the plan costs are only for Energy not for Maintenance and depreciation.
OKES Configuration:
Selection for assignment:
Cost Element               GMACHINE (only for Energy)
Activity Type     MACH
Splitting rules:
10                                        21     Equivalence Numbers Planning
Machine 0.64 is splitting into as follows Depreciation 0.41, Energy 0.12 and Maintenance 0.11
I am afraid from where splitting happening for Energy and depreciation and there is not receiving   splitting rules.
Appreciate for quick reply
Thanks

Auxiliary Cost Component- report

Dear Experts,
Is there any report available (similar to S_P99_41000111) that show cost component structure based on Auxiliary Cost Component?
Thanks
babu

Dear Babu Bhai
In CK13N when you see the cost details at that point when you click Cost component button as highlighted below screen1 you get a button for CCS as highlighted as screen2 which gives you opportunity to see Aux CCS.

Origin Group as Value field in COPA - Is that Possible

Hello Gurus,
The business requirement is to see all the Origin Groups as Value fields in COPA - Is that Possible? If Yes, Please suggest me the steps to follow.
Thanks a lot for your time.
Regards,
PM

Hi Praveen
Origin group cant be a Value Field.. It can be a Characteristic...
Try with these 2 options
1. KEA5 - Click on Create/Change a new Char and Try to create it with reference from table MBEW... If this is allowed, you will be able to plug in the Field Origin group in yur COPA data structure... regenerate your op concern after this
2. If (1) is not allowed, then create a WW char and write a derivation rule in KEDR with ref to Table LOOKUP and use table MBEW

How to assign cost components to value fields

Hi,
Kindly provide me the path or Tcode to assign cost components to value fields.
thanks
Sunitha

Hi Sunita,
You can go to transaction KE4R. For menu, go to IMG, PA and then valuation, Set up valuation using Material Cost estimate and there you will find 'Assign Vlaue fields'.
Trust this helps much!
Cheers!

Error message: cost elements have no cost component structure

using transaction KSII for the report; we didn´t change any settings, but we get this warming in the system.
We don´t know what happens, because it was ok in december, but know we have this warning.
The version for the year 2009 is maintained.
Any ideas?

There might be some new cost elements which would incurred actual costs which were not available in 2008 as well as in Cost component Structure.
Anyways try maintaining the cost elements in Cost Component structure.

Cost component wise value is not showing

Hi,
I have created one costcomponenent structure and cost component created like 10,20,30,40 and 50 and each we have assigned saprate GL's. I runned standard cost estimate for one material and i checked the cost component breakup, system is not giving the breakup as per my GL assignment. In 10 i have assigned raw material gl and 20 i have assigned semimaterial but in the costing update rawmaterial and semimaterial values are updated in 10. It is not updating 10 and 20 respectively. Can you guide me to solve this issue. Total value of the material is correct.(valuation class of the materials is different for rawmaterial and semimaterial)
govind

hi govindh..
You do not have to creat cost component for Semi finished material produced inhouse because Primary raw materials for manufacturing this item has already cost component and when this semis will be used in subsequent process cost will be rolled up to respective raw material components used to manufacture the semis.
But if you have purchased Semis, you can ctreat seperate cost component as Purchased SEMIS and assign consumption GL of purchased SEmis in that component to view it seperately.
We have such senerio.
thanks.

Is it possible to have a clickable hyperlink as a field under Products?

As the subject says, is it possible to have a clickable hyperlink setup as a field in the Products table somehow? Basically I have a field that automatically constructs a hyperlink based on an assignment and I'm wondering if there is a way you can set it up so that you can just click on it and have it open up Internet Explorer as opposed to having to copy the link and paste it in a browser.
Thanks!

Ryan,
Have you looked into trying to use the Web Pane URL for your scenario?
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mdm550/helpdata/en/8c/ca6d92fe624549a2809c8d02ab063c/frameset.htm">Web Pane URL</a>

This will allow you to create a URL to search Google for example based on the data contained your fields/attributes. You need to create the custom URL in the Console and then activate the option from the configuration settings in the Data Manager. This will then activate the Web tab for this link, all internal to MDM.
Let me know if you need more detail.

Is it possible to have the background colour of a field change based on the entry?

I previously obtained help from a user here to create a script that autopopulates a field based on options selected in two sets of radio buttons:
var consequence = this.getField("Consequence").valueAsString;
var likelihood = this.getField("Likelihood").valueAsString;
if (consequence=="Insignificant" && likelihood=="Rare") event.value = "Low";
else if (consequence=="Insignificant" && likelihood=="Unlikely") event.value = "Low";
else if (consequence=="Insignificant" && likelihood=="Moderate") event.value = "Low";
else if (consequence=="Insignificant" && likelihood=="Likely") event.value = "Low";
else if (consequence=="Insignificant" && likelihood=="Almost Certain") event.value = "Moderate";
else if (consequence=="Minor" && likelihood=="Rare") event.value = "Low";
else if (consequence=="Minor" && likelihood=="Unlikely") event.value = "Low";
else if (consequence=="Minor" && likelihood=="Moderate") event.value = "Moderate";
else if (consequence=="Minor" && likelihood=="Likely") event.value = "Moderate";
else if (consequence=="Minor" && likelihood=="Almost Certain") event.value = "High";
else if (consequence=="Moderate" && likelihood=="Rare") event.value = "Low";
else if (consequence=="Moderate" && likelihood=="Unlikely") event.value = "Moderate";
else if (consequence=="Moderate" && likelihood=="Moderate") event.value = "High";
else if (consequence=="Moderate" && likelihood=="Likely") event.value = "High";
else if (consequence=="Moderate" && likelihood=="Almost Certain") event.value = "Critical";
else if (consequence=="Major" && likelihood=="Rare") event.value = "Low";
else if (consequence=="Major" && likelihood=="Unlikely") event.value = "Moderate";
else if (consequence=="Major" && likelihood=="Moderate") event.value = "High";
else if (consequence=="Major" && likelihood=="Likely") event.value = "Critical";
else if (consequence=="Major" && likelihood=="Almost Certain") event.value = "Extreme";
else if (consequence=="Catastrophic" && likelihood=="Rare") event.value = "Moderate";
else if (consequence=="Catastrophic" && likelihood=="Unlikely") event.value = "High";
else if (consequence=="Catastrophic" && likelihood=="Moderate") event.value = "Critical";
else if (consequence=="Catastrophic" && likelihood=="Likely") event.value = "Extreme";
else if (consequence=="Catastrophic" && likelihood=="Almost Certain") event.value = "Extreme";
// etc.
else event.value = "";
I'm wondering if its possible to have the colour of the field that uses the above script, change based on the entry. E.g. If the answer is Low; make the background colour Green; if its Moderate, make it orange etc.?
I know its a big ask but thought I would check.
Thanks in advance.

One approach would be to have access to a Mac that can run the classic environment or has a pre OS X native installation. These should be able to read the files for dates of creation/modification. There is also SheepShaver that runs on OS X machines.

Settle Production Variances to COPA- Cost elements and Value fields

Dear All,
I know this question has been discussed in the past, but I have one specific doubt regarding this topic.:
When assigning cost elements to variance categories in t-code KEI1, how do we figure out what combination of cost elements (in the top half of the screen) constitute Input Price Variance, Scrap variance etc (in the bottom half of the screen)? I know the net of the postings on those cost elements tells us what variances we are looking it, but how do we get the cost elements (group) for let's say, 'Input/Output Quanity Varinace or 'Lot size Variance' ?
Or is this a futile exercise? May be I should just create three types of variances: Labor, Machine and Overhead. And I know what cost elements (net of the postings) would, in total, make up the $ variance in each of those categories. I can then use them in my report painter reports.
Please help clear the fog for me.
Ajay?
Thanks a lot,
Deepak

Hi Deepak,
Welcome to SDN!!
There are 2 ways of updating variances in COPA... I Prefer the 2nd option always...
1. Category wise variances (Input Prc, Usage var, etc) - Here, create a Cost ele group, where in you include all the Cost elements that can be posted to the Prod orders
For the sake of simplicity, you can include Cost elements 1 to 99999999 in the Cost element group...
2. Cost Comp Structure wise variances -
a. Create as many assignment lines in PA Trf Structure as in your Cost Comp Str...
Eg: If your Cost Comp Str in OKTZ has Raw Mat, Labor, Overhead - Create 3 Assignments in PA Trf Structure..
b. Assign the same cost elements in the SOURCE as in the Cost Comp Str
c. Choose the radio button "Costs/Revenues" in your assignment line, instead of " Variance on Production orders"
d. Assign each Assignment line to a separate Value Field

Reposting cost from one value field to another value field in CO-PA

Good day,
Some of our FI postings to CO-PA were assigned to the wrong value field (in the PA transfer structure, the cost elements were in the wrong group and thus were recorded at the wrong value field).
The number of documents invilved is huge - so we cannot reverse, change the configuration and post again.
Is there a way to repost the costs from one VF to another like we can do with other cost objects?
Thanks,
Yoel.

Is it possible to have one search box search many fields? ( and "autocomplete" the results)?

I'm really new to the whole area of JSON, autocomplete and javascript. My first project in this area is personal: making it easier to search for wines in my wine cellar.
I have all my wines in a sqlite database (driven by CF 9 of course) and have a nice UI to report on, add, modify, delete, etc. What I want to add is a search capability that works like this: a user types text in a search box in any order they want and automagically, the wine is found.
To be specific, a user could start with "2005 Caymus" and the area below the text search box would be populated with all of the varietals of Caymus for 2005 that are in the cellar. Similarly the user might start the search by typing "2005 Cabernet" in which case anything in the cellar that is from 2005 and a Cabernet Sauvignon or a Cabernet Franc from all wineries would appear below the text box. Or maybe they just want to see what French wines are in the cellar, so they'd start their search with "France" or "French". (BTW, winery, vintage, wine type (varietal), country, appellation, etc. are all separate fields in the database/table.)
Is my imagined search capability possible, or does each aspect of the search (year, winery, wine type/varietal) have to be user-entered into a separate text box?
Any guidance/answers greatly appreciated! If you're local, might even be worth sharing a vintage bottle of wine!

Sorry I was unclear.
Google is a single text box. If you type "coldfusion 9 new features"
you get a good listing of your results without having one box for
software one for version one for descriptor and
one for topic . Similarly with Google it's likely you'll get
somewhat similar results typing in "new features coldfusion 9" or
"coldfusion 9 features". So for my wine app I just want to present the
user with one box so they can type in "Caymus 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon"
(a "specific" search) or "2005" (a search for all wines from that year),
etc. It's the cleanness of the user experience I'm trying to
accommodate here. Make sense?

Cost component not splitting at the time of Rune the tine of Cost Estimate

http//
Hi,
We are in developing phase for Product costing for coal mine project ,
we have raise coal material with Non component BOM , and Routing is only one activity with 400- Raised Coal Qty-MT ,
We upload the plan with Production cost center -activity type and cost element ( as per cost component -we have 10 cost component as per below )
RM - Blasting
Production Overhead
Power - Main
Stores,Spare,Consum
Repairs & Maint
Lease & Hire Char-PM
Power - Auxiliary
Depreciation
Over Burden
Development
we done the plan for Amount and Qty by KP06,KP26 and update plan price but system not calculate the cost component splitting in cost estimate as per planning while only one item showing for all cost to Production Overhead cost component
Production Overhead cost component which assign the secondary cost element which is assign to activity type 400
can any one help me to how we can resolve this issue
Please find attached document

Hi,
Here I am providing the necessity and importance of splitting structure, will share the configuration steps once you go through the following and get the comfort level.
                  Expense Analysis and Splitting in Manufacturing Cost Centers
Introduction In SAP Cost center work as a cost responsibility center, where all the expenses and cost are stored and analyzed for the purpose of management decision making.
The cost could be fixed or variable in nature. The difference between variable and fixed costs can be made in various ways in product costing in CO module.
Fixed costs represent the static costs incurred by the organization, which doesn’t change on the basis on manufacturing activities, which remain constant irrespective of production activities like rent for the premises, salaries of office staff etc.
On the other hand, variable cost varies based on the level of production activities; if production activities increase then variable cost also increased like electricity consumes raw material charges etc.
However all the variable cost doesn’t vary in direct proportion by quantity of goods produced.
In this document will try to define; how the Expenses analysis and splitting of cost done in manufacturing cost centers.
From controlling prospective, fixed cost remain constant regardless of operating activities, but if these factor changes, variable cost will fluctuate.
Basically raw material costs represent variable cost, but in this document main focused will be given to distinguish fixed and variable activity cost.
The segregation between fixed and variable cost is optional and is derived from the configuration and master data configured in cost center accounting and overhead accounting.
Activity Price:
There are different methods that could be used in cost center accounting to determine the activity price. The simple way is the manually enter “Fixed” and “Variable” Activity cost (KP26).
However there are other methods used in Cost center Planning and Budgeting that automatically calculate the fixed and variable activity price.
Here the focused will be given on Planning and Budgeting activity and automatic calculation of plan activity rate in cost center.
This method aggregate planned costs by cost element and capacity by plan unit to calculate the activity price.
Activity independent costs are segregated among different activities based on Splitting Structure, while activity dependent cost directly used for the purpose of variable activity rate calculation.
Fixed Activity Cost:
In product costing all those cost, which doesn’t vary based on the activities in manufacturing cost will represent fixed cost.
In a manufacturing cost centers there may be two or more activities performed.
To calculate the activities rate, the fixed costs are distributed to various activities on the basis of Splitting Structure defined for cost center.
Variable Activity Cost:
Variable activity cost, which directly depend upon the activity type and fluctuate based on increase or decrease in manufacturing activities. In SAP variable activity cost are directly linked to the respective activity.
Activity Prices: Fixed and Variable Split
In Cost Center Accounting dividing the cost between Fixed and Variable requires appropriate split to be made in the cost entered for the activity. The process is described below:
i. Variable cost would be planned at activity level and expenses should be maintained at cost element in the manufacturing cost center by assigning activity and cost element combination.
In other word, the expenses should be planned on Activity type at the time of primary cost planning (KP06).
Then the variable activity rates are calculated on Total cost planned at Activity divided by Total number of activity planned at that cost center (i.e. capacity in KP26)
ii. Fixed cost would be planned at independent of activity type. These costs are maintained in KP06 at cost element level on manufacturing cost center.
Then the fixed costs are distributed on various activity types on the basis of Splitting structure defined at OKEW.
In Splitting Structure we define the rules, how the fixed cost will be distributed to Activities. For the purpose of this document, considering split of fixed cost on the basis of Capacity maintained in KP26.
