Issues adding variable production cost

Hi
I am having issues to find the correct way to add production cost.
I know that basically a labour item that has cost in master data (Standard method) is added to the BOM and will then be added to the production order. However, this is a fixed cost, and even the same cost for every BOM/production oder.
How can I add variable cost to the production that i can easily change at the end of the production?
additional ...: I do receive invoices from external companies for the production/assembling - mostly some weeks after the production. Ho do i enter them into the system? Is there a way to link the received invoice to the cost of a production order?
Thanks for your help
Franz

Thanks for your answer!
Here's what I am going to do ... maybe someones interested in this too:
- Create an item with standard cost evaluation and a standard cost of 1$ (I plan to use this in BOM for production cost and purchase, mainly)
- Make this item a non-inventory, sales- and purchasing item
- Add a price to the price list (needed if used in sales and BOM sales calculations)
- Add the item, with a quantity relative to the production cost (external work) to be added, to the BOM / production order (i.e. 15.5)
- Use the item to issue a PO for this external work
- The production cost will be included in cost calaculation of item
- The invoice for the external work can be added to the system and the item does not have to be reevaluated

  • Logistics cost to be added in product cost

    Dear friends,
    We are operating logistocs vehicles on every day morning to collect materials from another plant and also get materials from suppliers..
    If the freight rate to be provided to logistcs is a constant value, we can give the rate in PO conditions inorder to add the freight cost in product cost.
    Rate to be provided to logistics vehicle will be varied based on the weight and space occupation of a material and the type of vehicle used (like LCV, HCV...)
    1. Incase of STO (Material from another plant) how to include the frieght rate in receiving plant product cost. Because the ratre is not a constant one it will be varied based on the above situations.
    2. Incase of regular purchase order how to handle the same situation of adding freight cost in to product cost.
    Thanx in advance.

  • Product costing issues

    1)what is different bitwen with quantity structureand with out quantity structure?
    2)what is valvated stocks and non valvated stocks?
    3)what is the need of cost component structure , how many segments can be define in cost component structure?
    4)how we are going to do work ing progress in product cost
    5) what are the status in order, types of order?

    Dear Pradeep,
    1.Material Is Costed with Quantity Structure
    This indicator determines whether the material is costed using costing with or without a quantity
    structure.
    This setting can be found in Costing1 view in the material master.
    Use
    If you usually cost materials using costing with quantity structure, turn on this indicator.
    If you usually cost materials using costing without quantity structure, do not turn on this indicator.
    You can change the indicator in the material master record at a later time.
    Procedure
    If you always cost your materials (including raw materials) using costing with quantity structure, you
    should turn on this indicator. This improves performance, because the system does not search in vain
    for existing cost estimates without a quantity structure for every material when it explodes the BOM.
    Therefore, only turn on this indicator if you normally cost the materials using costing without quantity
    structure.
    Regardless of the setting, you can cost a single material with or without quantity structure. However,
    you should bear in mind that this setting is always used in the costing run and in mixed costing
    (creating procurement alternatives).
    CK11N and CK40N is used for costing material with quantity structure.
    KKPAN is used for creating material cost estimate without quantity structure.
    2.Valuated stock is the stock of the materials maintained in value basis,it may be under Restricted use
    or non-restricted use .
    Nonvaluated materials (UNBW)
    Nonvaluated materials are managed on a quantity basis, but not by value.
    5.status in a production order are for Eg,
    REL  Released               
    PCNF Partially confirmed    
    PRC  Pre-costed             
    BCRQ Order to be handled in b
    GMPS Goods movement posted  
    MANC Mat.availability not che
    PDLV Partially delivered    
    SETC Settlement rule created
    So after performing each business funtion the status of the production order changes.

  • Issue Relating to Power Cost in Daily Product Costing

    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.

  • Product Costing - Standard Cost Component Split on Multi Level BOM's

    Hi,
    We are the process of introducing SAP for all back office and manufacturing activities.
    I am currently trying to verify that the product cost calculation for Multi-Level BOMs in our Legacy system matches the cost roll up or cost estimate in SAP at not only a Total Cost Level but the cost component split must be accurate also. So far, all the costs roll up correctly at a total cost level but I have noticed one issue:
    When I run a cost estimate for a single level BOM the cost estimate will split the components accurately into Material, Labor, Fixed Overhead and Variable overhead, However, when this component is then used in the next level of manufacturing all the Labor, Fixed Overhead and Variable Overhead Cost is grouped under Material.
    Q1.) Is there a SAP setting or config change that will keep the previous Labor, Fixed OH and Variable OH cost in these categories as the material is rolled up to finished product level?
    Q2.) Is there a standard report / view where I can see the Finished Goods Standard Cost split by each of there rolled up Components? This would need to split the Total Material, Total Labor, Total Fixed OH and Total VO required to make the Finished Product. 
    Q3.) Is there a standard report / view where I can see the added value (Absorption) by component split (Labor, Fixed OH, Variable OH) for every Manufactured Part?
    Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Brian

  • Over Absorption in Production Cost Center.

    Dears,
    We are getting the over absorption in cost center after doing of actual price calculation settlement. we have done the following transactions at month end. eventhough we are getting over absorption (i.e., credits are more than debits) Credits are activity costs are transferred from production cost center to production/process orders or product collectors.
    KO8G settlement of internal orders to cost centers.
    KSV5 execution of distribution cycle.
    KSII  execution of actual price calculation.
    CON2 revaluation at actual prices.
    CO88 Settlement of Production/Process Orders.
    Even after doing of the above trnasactions we are getting over absorption.
    kindly advise me in order to resolve this issue.

    Hi Divraj,
    The same issue i am replicating in the development server i created one assessment cycle i gave one service cost center as sender and one cost element group, the group contains 10 primary cost elements(GL's), i done postings with 10 gl's respect to this service cost center, in my assessment cycle i gave one assessment cost element in segment header the sender rule is posted amounts, the receiver tracing factor contains variable portions, actual activity and no scaling, in receiver i gave cost center group contains 4 production cost centers, sender values is share in 100%, version is zero the receiver tracing factor tab contains variable portions as actual activity and one activity i maintained, the receiver weighting factor contains 4 production cost centers and factor percentage is 100%.
    Now i execute the assessment cycle in KSU5 i am getting senders in cycle but receivers i am getting zero, when i took the actual activity, variable portions and no scaling i have to maintain activity price in KP26 and this cost center i have to maintain in process order that is fine please explain me how the cost will distributed to production cost center please explain the procedure in detailed.
    Hopefully i will get clarity on the concept................

  • Unplanned production cost

    Hi friends,
    We have an issue related to implementation in textile industry. 
    There is a type of cost which is 'drawing / knoting' ...it is actually a preprocessing exp....but for a particular type of textile.....there can be multiple production orders using this preparatory process..  This cost is for a specific number of looms.......
    In actual practice if in case of urgency they may use more looms and 'drawing' cost will be more...
    So the problem is we cannot plan it correctly ...and also it is a one time initial cost of production...
    Clint wants to charge this cost to the production orders on a later stage.....based on the actual scenario...
    How can we do this??? 
    Even if we charge tis to production orders by some method.....it will end up in production variance...which is not correct??!!!...
    Can we keep it seperately and charge to COPA against the gross margin????/  but in that case it will not reflect in actual cost!!!
    Please suggest a good solution for this issue...
    thanks in advance...
    Ramesan

    Hi Ajay, Thanks for your reply
    Let me elabourate it more....
    Industry- Textile:-
    There are some pre production activities which cant be added in routing. Such as Drawing, Knoting,
    which is not specific to a production order. It is for a serios of Production Orders.
    Let say Drawing happened for a particular material x. the same will be used for different production orders until unless the material change. The same is true for Knoting also. These expenses cant be included in routing because this operation is not required for  every production order.it is a onetime expenses and must for a series of production orders of same type of material.
    How to bring this into both standard and actual expenses avoiding variance.
    Alternative-1
    collecting these costs to a cost center and bring to copa through assessment.
    Advantage- The cost is distributed over the gross profit of the material
    Disadvantage- It is not considered as production cost and not included in stock.
    Alternative-2
    Include in Activity
    Advantage- included in production and stock and no variance.
    Disadvantage- This expenses booked in one production order where as othere production orders with out this cost. I.e 1st PO overloaded and other PO are not charged. 
    Please, suggest if any better way is there.

  • Product costing error while defining posting rules

    Hi Friends,
    When I'm trying to define posting rules for settling WIP using OKG8,
    I get an error msg "GL account 7000100 cannot be created as a cost element" and the aforesaid account is WIP (P&L account).
    The long text of the error msg is as follows:
    G/L account 7000100 cannot be created as a cost element
    Message no. KQ119
    Diagnosis
    When maintaining the posting rules for passing on results analysis data to Financial Accounting, you entered a G/L account that is defined as a primary cost element in cost and revenue element accounting. This is not allowed. You must enter a G/L account in the posting rules that is not defined as a cost element.
    System Response
    The entry invalid.
    Procedure
    You have the following options:
    Enter a G/L account for which no cost element is specified in Cost and Revenue Element Accounting.
    You can change the message type with user-defined error management (transaction OPR4_KKA). What should be observed when you enter a G/L account in a posting rule that is defined as a primary cost element in Cost and Revenue Element Accounting? You need to define a CO account assignment so that the posting defined in the posting rule can be executed. You do this with transaction OKB9 (default account assignment) or OKC9 (substitution), or using the default account assignment in the cost element master.
    Could anyone suggest me on this.
    The steps that I've already defined as far as the account are concerned:
    1. Have defined the aforesaid account as a cost element
    2. Assigned Prodn. C CTR in OKB9 agnst the same.
    But then I dont understand why the system pops up this msg, saying, cannot be created as a cost element, wherein the account is already a cost element.
    Plz suggest
    regards

    Hiya,
    WIP accounts (neither Inventory nor Offset) should NEVER be created as Cost Elements.
    In most manufacturing scenarios, costs are tracked on the P&L. During period-end, since there is the risk of writing off some issues to the Production/Process/Sales Order, SAP has introduced the complex but ingenious system called Results Analysis that moves the balance of all open Orders to the Balance Sheet.
    If the Order balance is (+)ve, the P&L is credited and the Balance Sheet is debited and vice versa. When you display the Order costs at period-end, the WIP costs are not considered. In order to calculate WIP, we have separate RA GL accounts that track costs independently of the Orders. Therefore, these are never created as Cost Elements. Creating these as Cost Elements would force the system to inadvertently post the WIP costs back on the Order (alongwith posting these to the B/S??? - an unimaginable situation).
    At period-end, you have postings like:
    Dr WIP Inventory Account
    Cr WIP Offset Account
    and, this is reversed at settlement:
    Cr WIP Offset Account
    Dr WIP Inventory Account
    Along with this, the system calculates the Actual COS for the finished product. Neither of the two WIP accounts used above is created as a Cost Element. If you have created any of these as Cost Elements, the system will not allow you to save OKG8. Delete the Cost Element and then try saving the posting rule.
    (PS: The "Cost Element" field in this screen has a different use. It is used to specify if a Secondary Cost Element from the RA Update table should be posted to a G/L Account. This is not meant for Primary Cost Elements. I think these Secondary CEs are of type 31 (requires confirmation - no SAP access right now). As you may have guessed, you can only enter either the RA Category or this Secondary CE).
    You may also delete the OKB9 assignment to the Cost Centre. It is redundant.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers.

  • Cannot place order ERROR: "There was a problem adding your product to cart"

    Hey guys,
    Well, once again Best Buy's online system is preventing me from making an order. It seems like nearly every time I log in I experience some new problem. This time, I'm unable to add anything to my cart. It doesn't matter what item I try to add to my cart or what browser I use or if I clear cookies...it happens every time, on every browser, with every product in the store. The error shows a red & white triangle with a message "There was a problem adding your product to cart".
    Just to clarify ahead of time: 1) I have already tried signing in using 4 different browsers (explorer, firefox, chrome, opera) & they all give the same error; 2) Prior to posting here I researched this problem & found out it is somewhat common & has been occurring since at least 2012 on BestBuy.com; 3) Every time someone posts in here about this problem, customer service offers the same "fix" every time - to sign out, clear their browser cache of cookies, shut down the browser, restart the browser, sign back in, etc.... The only problem is, this "solution" has not worked ONE time our of the many times this problem has cropped up in here over the past 3+ years. Why this "solution" keeps getting told to people even though it never works is beyond me. But, there you have it.
    Just to clarify: I have already tried this solution, And just like with everyone else before me, it didn't work for me either. So, what's the next step? There must be something else that can be done other than waiting a couple more days for it to magically fix itself (it seems that is the only thing that ever "works"...is to let several days go by and the problem ends up getting fixed in some back-end server-side patch up). 
    What I'm hoping for from you is a solution that can fix this immediately. This problem has already prevented me from making a couple purchases for items that were temporarily on sale over the past couple days. So, those are lost sales for Best Buy. What I'm hoping to do now is pre-order the Elder Scrolls Online (PS4) in order to take advantage of the $10 pre-order reward. The game releases on Tuesday the 9th. So, in order to get this done in time I need to place the order sometime today (on the 8th).
    With all these repeated technical problems making purchasing a chore & wasting my time every single time I want to buy a product it's almost as if Best Buy is telling customers "We don't care if our online system works reliably...go spend your money at Amazon instead". lol
    Thank you in advance for your timely help on this matter.

    Hello mjswooosh,
    I'm very disheartened to hear that you've had ongoing problems when attempting to order from BestBuy.com. Our goal is ever to provide a fun and efficient shopping environment! Certainly creating aggravation serves neither you nor us and I apologize sincerely for this having been your experience.
    We recommend the troubleshooting steps you mentioned (i.e., clearing the browser cache, deleting temporary internet files and cookies) because this is the most common cause of this type of problem. I too have encountered this issue from time to time and these steps have almost always resolved the problem. I say almost always because there's one further step you can try: ensure that you have signed out of BestBuy.com, then perform the browser maintenance steps we've recommended. Afterward, before signing in to BestBuy.com, add your desired items to your cart and sign in as part of the checkout process. When the standard steps have not netted a resolution for me, this has solved the problem each time.
    I hope this helps. I'm very grateful that you took the time to write to us with your concerns and for sharing your very valuable feedback about your online experience.
    Sincerely,
    John|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

  • Error while creating Product Cost Collector

    Hi SAP Gurus,
    While creating Product Cost Collector I am getting the following Error:
    Enter a distribution rule for Order without a validity limit
    Message no. KD059
    Diagnosis
    The settlement profile used requires you to define a distribution rule for Order. For period 009 2008, however, you have not created a distribution rule for Order.
    Procedure
    Create a distribution rule for Order without a validity limit, because, if the distribution rule does have a validity limit, the system always issues this message in the period following the last valid period.
    You can also use a different settlement profile that does not require such a distribution rule, or change the settlement rule used.
    Can any one help where exactly i need to maintain this.
    The settlement profile settings are fine.
    I am getting this error only after i have changed the scenario to Reproting point back flushing

    Dear Suryanarayana
    Please check the corresponding settlement profile for product orders.
    In most of the cases message KD059 means that no distribution rule is assigned to your production order.
    This is not an error, but the system design. In order to avoid message KD059 you will either have to enter settlements parameters and a distribution, or change settlement profile for valid receivers in transaction OKO7 from 'settlement required' to 'Can be settled'.
    I hope this helps resolve the issue for you. I wish you the best in your endeavours.
    Kind Regards,
    Brendan

  • Product Costing  - Message CK 318 ()

    Hi Experts,
    While executing product cost calculation for material YYY we had warning message CK318 - Cost estimate for material XXX contains errors -> Planned price). XXX is a component used in YYY and the message was issued because we did not have price for XXX. We are now able to proceed with standard cost release for YYY.
    As I remembered previously, if you have an error in lower level, the higher level material would have been costed with error too. Seems that this is no longer the case. 
    I am not sure if this has changed in standard system in ECC 6 or we have to change message control for this message from Warning (W) to Error (E) but it seems the system reaction is not logical to me.
    Thanks for shedding insights into this.
    Teck

    HI Teck,
    Can you go to OKKN, and quantity structure tab and check out the 'transfer active std cost meates if material costed with errors check box?
    Best Regards

  • While product costing CK11N error

    While using CK11N I am getting following error:
    Sr.No.               Error Description                                                                                Msg No

    Please help me how to fix above problem.
    Thank you.

    Check following points,
    Probably material might be split valuated,Check price is maintained for all valuation types including header in MM60.
    Check price is maintained in info record.
    Check type of procurement in MRP2,it will be external procurement - F.
    Do product cost estimate using KKF6N.
    Check production version is maintained in MRP4 ?
    Check throughly all masters vendor,info record & material master.
    It will solve the issue.
