Issue Relating to Power Cost in Daily Product Costing

Hi,
We are doing daily product costing. Here we want to allocate the power units of service to production cost centers proportionately on daily basis. Can anyone tell me is there any option in SAP and we need to go for development.

hi,
Power usage or cost can be apportioned only monthly wise not possible on daily basis. U can run the distribution or assessment cycle only for month wise, but not on daily basis.

Daily Product Cost

Hi,
Is it possible to get a daily product cost. Can any one explain me the implications for getting daily product cost from PP point of view and also CO point of view. Whether Repetitive manufacturing solves this issue? Please reply immediately.

Hi Ashok,
I am asking is it possible to get daily product cost report. What are implications or difficulties in getting daily product cost report from CO point of view. From CO point of view we need to settle the production orders daily where settlemet is a monthly activity and also the allocations. I request you to tell me what are implications in doing the daily product costing to arrive at daily product cost report.

Allocation of cost from service cost center to production cost center

Dear sir ,
Will I use to distribute the cost from service department to production department and that cost centers also using for activity planing will get currect result in product costing ?

Hello,
Can you clarify what you want to do ?
Allocation of cost from service cost centers to production cost centers can be done with the help of Assessment / Distribution cycles and you can do a activity planning using the same costs as well. The steps for activity planning would be as under:
1. Create primary cost planning in the service and production cost centers (KP06)
2. Create activity planning in the production cost centers (KP26) without any rate
3. Run assessment / distribution cycles to transfer cost from the service cost centers to production cost centers (KSUB / KSVB), in case you are not transferring based on activity quantity then also do SKF planning in KP46
4. Run plan cost splitting in case you have more then one activity type (do config for splitting structure beforehand) (KSS4)
5. Calculate Plan price for the production cost center activity types (KSPI)

Costing Report summarized production cost by Finished Goods Material

Dear Expert,
I am looking for a report that can summarized the production cost in production order by Finished Goods Material Number.
or a report that can show me the cost components incurred related to a Finished Goods Material.
Can any expert enlighten me? please help.
Thanks a lot.

Hi
I would recommend the product drilldown reports in KKO0...
For this you will have to do settings in OKN0 (Asisgn a Cost Comp Structure and specify the Product Group)
After this, execute KKRV to collect the summarized data and then you can use KKO0 reports
It gives cost of production as per the Cost Comp Str and also the product no, product group, Prod Order etc

Target Cost Verion in Product Cost

Hi,
I'm not able to create Target Cost Version (1,2,3.....) in variance Calculation pertaining to Product Costing.
I'm getting this message:
Version 1000 1 not intended to be used as the target cost version
Message no. KQ243
Diagnosis
The specified target cost version has not been flagged in central version maintenance as suitable for variance calculation.
Procedure
1. Check the entries in the central version table.
2. If appropriate, flag the version as suitable for variance calculation.
Please help & guide urgently.

Try running a variance analysis, and see if it civd you an error message. typically this occurs when a SCE estimate was created after the process/production order was created. So check the dates of the two orders that you have, and compare with the date of the SCE CREATION.

Raw Material Costing with Overhead, Product Cost Planning

Hi,
I have an issue applying overhead to purchased raw materials. We need to apply this overhead for only a certain materials. So, I have defined a overhead key/overhead Group, and assigned the group in the material master of the raw material. The overhead is 2% freight on raw material costs.
In the std.costing variant, I have assigned the costing sheet under Overhead on material components tab of the corresponding valuation variant. I have also included the Freight OH in the cost component structure.
However, when I run the costing with CK11N for the raw material, it is showing only the raw material cost, not the overhead.
What could be the problem?
I appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Ram

Is the overhead rate a percentage type or quantity based?
Have you maintained both actual and plan rates (1 & 2) under define % based OH rates or Qty based OH rates accordingly?
Does the validity date (in define OH rates )cover the date of costing?
Is the Costing sheet assigned to the valuation variant at plant level?
Is the OH base in the costing sheet includes the cost element of the raw material?

Sub Contract (operations) Cost Capturing in Product cost

Hi Guys,
I have a problem in cost capturing for sub contract opertaions.
Scenario is : I am working on product Costing. I want to caputure the cost of various product for various opeations, this I achived through activty type. But my problem is some of operations (for making the product) has been given to outsourcing through open PO and the payment to contractor is paying by unit rate(price rates are different for different operations).
Could anybody explain me the process or settings required to capture the cost of the product which my client is paying to outsource contractor.
Regards
Srinivas

Hi,
1. Please define that particular activity as external operation in routing
2. Flag it as subcontracting
3. Assign a Material Info record to this operation. Because the cost is picked up from Material info record in this scenario.
Just talk to your PP folks. They will definitely will guide you in Routing settings in this regard
Please award points suitably
Best Regards

OpenGL? After Effects Issue / Related to Power Surge?

Hello.
I had a power surge that killed the power supply on my Quad 2.5GHZ G5. I got that fixed at the Apple Store, but since getting it back I was getting errors with OpenGL in After Effects. I had to disable it to get faster previews of what I was doing. I have very little understanding of what the OpenGL plug-in does or how it relates to my monitor, but could that power surge have affected this and caused this problem? Hopefully there is enough info here to offer me some guidance.
Thanks in advance.

This may be a specific case of a combination of the graphics card, your RT.X100 and the Matrox CoDecs. I suppose you went with the Parhelia to ensure maximum compatibility to ensure maximum compatibility with the other Matrox stuff and now it's biting you in your behind. I really do think that it's an issue with either Pixel Bender probing the card and not "exiting gracefully" when it finds it incompatible or MediaCore trying to manage your Matrox CoDecs when it isn't supposed to... If you are feeling adventurous, you could try to re-install the system without the video hardware and CoDecs, just the Parhelia and see how AE CS4 behaves, but of course that's just as undesirable. You could also try creating different hardware profiles (via your device manager), but usually, once a system is "polluted" with offending components, this does not bring the desired betterment...

Wireless weird issue related to power supply

Hello,
I have been having some issues from time to time with my wireless connection from my MBP to my router . Distance is out of the question since the router is very close to the desk where the mbp stands.
At first i thought it was the router, since its a cheap one. But tonight i had another issue. I just couldnt connect to the router , getting a Connection Timeout error. I looked up a little on google, saw somewhere someone saying something about unplugging all usbs, power source etc. So i unplugged the power cable from the MBP , and voila! it connected. Very strange, i dont know why this should cause an issue...but thats just half of it. As i was mentioning at the beggining of the post, from time to time i had some issues with the wireless connection from the MBP to the router, the issues were bad connectivity. I was testing it via TERMINAL -> ping router_ip ...and getting like 60% or more loss. Since tonight i was 99% sure it was the router's fault, but tonight i thought to try something at one time when the issues surfaced again: i unplugged the power cable from the MBP and..suprise suprise, no more packet losses on the PING results...and i tested...plugged the power cable , PING returning losses (and of course, web pages loading like crap)..unplugg => all fixed.
I dont know what to make out of this...the mbp is new, about 2 months, 17 inch model, 2.8 ghz...Maybe anyone knows anything or had the same issues?

I am having a similar but mirror image of your problem: my network connection keeps dropping out ONLY when on battery power. If I stream music from the Time Capsule router, the connection is solid. If I check the Airport connection in the menu bar, it will return (briefly). When MBP is on AC power, all is good.
I suspect a software problem, perhaps a plist item somewhere is corrupted but where should I look? I migrated all my network settings from a clone of my old MBP which exhibited the same symptoms.
Maybe I will start a new user account just to see if problem is there also.......

Dear friends,
in material master in mrp2 we have maintained procurement "X", here if we maintain -special procument -30, it will take only sub contracting cost, it is removed, it will take inhouse cost, i removed 30, while using PP02 in routing it showing error that is maintain purchase info record but we have maintain sub contracting purchase info recored - why it is not taking in routing
we want to calculate internal and external cost in cost estimate.

Production Variance is posted as 542.01….
I strongly believe there is some issue in configuration for activity allocation….
Main issue is
Point No. 4 – Different Figures in Process Order Cost Analysis
Point No. 7 – Assessment cycle run
Point No. 8 – KSS2 and KSII for Actual cost Allocation and Production variance…
Friends… I have tried to explain maximum please help me to understand the concept or missing configuration/Process.
Thanks

Dear Rajneesh,
I have made the changes as suggested....
It seems now my Order Cost analysis and Product cost analysis are showing the same figures.
I have also maintained cost center splitting structure for ELE30 Activity allocation.
Structure Z1
Splitting structure for AT
Assignment 10
Electricity Cost
100
Allocation for ELE
Cost Element
994215
Activity Type
ELE30
Splitting Rule
100
Allocation for ELE
12
Activity quantity
Version 0
In my case actual activity confirmed is 3.1 for 2 orders in period 5
Order 1 - QTY 2
Order 2 - QTY 1.1
Total actual Electricity exp is 1150 in period 5
followed procedure to post actual activity on product is mentioned below
KSS2 Actual cost splitting - Result as expected 1150 for ELE30
KSII Actual price determination - Result as expected 3.1 actual confirmed QTY for ELE30 with actual price
       QTY 3.1         Tot Price 3,709.68        Planned(FIX) 3,709.68     Per Units 10
       (System is doing 1150/3.1*10=3709.68)
    3.CON2 Actual revaluation of orders
      Here while reevaluating the Process Orders system calculation is different
Order 1 - QTY 2 -   558.00
Order 2 - QTY 1.1 - 407.56
Total -                    965.57
     4. After CON2 system is changing the value of other activities like
     LAB10 - Actual confirmed Value 10 to 0

Product cost by period process

Hello
Gurus,
Can anybody please explain the process of product cost by period, eventhough i searched but i did'nt get clear picture.
Please help in this because i have interview
Thanks

Dear Kavya,
1.Product cost by period is used in a REM scenario - Repetitive Manufacturing.
2.Here a product cost collector is created for the material + each production version combination.
3.All the costs(activity posting,Goods issue,goods receipt) are captured in the product cost collector of the respetive material.
4.Each product cost collector has an order number and based on this variance calcualtion and settlement can be done according
to the business scenario.
5.This type of costing can be used for a continous production like cement industry,steel manufacturing(dealing with furnace).
6.Here along with the costing part there are certain other shop floor control parameters to choose or select this scenario or a
Discrete scenario(where Production order's are used).
7.In a REM scenario confirmation will be made against a planned order or even with out any planned order.

REM Product cost collectors and Production version

Hi All,
Can some one pls let me know
What are the product cost collectors in REM and how to create the product cost collectors ?
What is the production version and the difference between production version and controlling version?
Thanks & Regards,
Bujji

Dear Bujji,
A product cost collector is a cost object in Product Cost by Period that collects the periodic actual costs incurred in the production of a material. It can be created in txn KKF6N.
[Product Cosr Collector|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/EN/08/77ba810a1611d3a6b900104b55d538/frameset.htm]

A production version determines the various production techniques that can be used to produce a material. It defines the following information:
Alternative BOM for a BOM explosion
Task list type, task list group, and group counter for assignment to task lists
Lot-size restrictions and period of validity
A material can have one or more production versions.
It can be defined in the Material Master (txn MM02) in one of the following views:
MRP 4
Work Scheduling
Costing 1
The costing version is a different issue. It is a costing parameter and is used to save several cost estimates for the same material, with the same costing variant and the same costing date (e.g. in oder to cost the material several times with minor changes without creating new costing variants).
