Kb21n overhead cost

Hi,
For allocation like distribution and assessment cycle, it is to allocate the overhead cost
May I know KB21N which is to transfer cost from 1 cost object to another using activity type, also to calculate overhead cost or is it to calculate direct labour cost?
thanks

Hi
Yes, KB21N is to charge overhead.. Ends are the same, but means are different...
Kb21N is when you forget to add an operation in the routing and hence the Labor hrs did not get charged to Prod order.... Or you confirmed more by mistake and you want to rectify that...
In such cases KB21N is used which charges Labor hrs and there by the cost to the receiver object

To compute direct or overhead cost

hi,

novocar,
Normally it is for actual overhead allocation (or you called calculation). Actual direct cost is normally allocated by confirmation on production orders.

Cost estimate (CK11N)is not picking the overhead cost for some of the mat

Hi all,
we are facing a problem. The overhead key is defined. the calculation base is defined in the cost sheet. But the overhead cost is not picking for some of the materials
Bad Material 5019-0581 via CK11n.
As you can see in the itemization, only the material and the routing are listed. No amounts from the OH of ZPTA ( .10). It should show a line #5 with an amount of (28 quantity x .10) = $2.80 added to the Total value.
first three line items it is picked from material and fourth line item from the internal activity.
the fifth item from G overhead is not picked.

Hi,
Check whether u have assigned the cost sheet in u r costing variant which is being used in CK11N.

T-code to confirm the Overhead cost ?

Hi
Can any one let me the T-code to confirm the Overhead cost in a plant maintenance order.
I have some overheads under plan cost. How can i bring the Plan cost to Actual cost for overheads.
venkat

hi
on what basis the overheads are calculated
say 100 $ is actual cost in order what is the overhead on order
what is the formulae to be used & set this formulae

Overhead Cost in Process Order

Hi All
I need your expert inputs / suggestions to apply the correct method of calculating overheads in process order.
Requirement:
To calculate
a. Labor cost
b. Overhead Cost
c. Depreciation Cost of Machine
in a process order. Also .b. and .c. are dependent on labor time entered (a.)
What I have done:
I am new to PP and CO, so with my limited understanding I have done the following:
1. Created activities for labor, overhead cost and depreciation.
2. Created secondary cost elements
3. Created Standard Value Key
4. Added all the parameters (Labor, OVH, DEP)
5. Created a formula for these parameters
6. And used them in Resource and KP26
Problem:
With the above setup I get three values (Labor, OVH, Dep) to enter in the process order confirmation. However I need just one field : Labor time, for all the values to be calculated.
As OVH and Dep should use the same time as for Labor parameter but with different rate (as mentioned in KP26) is there a way out where I can just show Labor variable to be entered to the user and other two use that time also!
Or if you feel there can be different approach for the overheads and depreciation to be calculated kindly write back
Thanks in advance
-Rahul

Hi rahul
I understand you want to use same formula for cossting for the
a. Labor cost
b. Overhead Cost
c. Depreciation Cost of Machine
Then in work center-> costing tab you can mention same formula for the overhad and Depreciation which was using for labour cost.
Please check and come back.

How to exclude the overhead cost from DIP source data

Hi :
I'm using EK01 condition to catch all the cost booked against the project object from PS, when I try DP91 to have DMR, it's return error "material determination error".. that's caused by overhead cost element is not configred in ODP1.
Actually, we're not expecting overhead to be billed to customer,, how we can config to get this resolved ?
Thanks !

Overhead costs

Dear friends,
I need your input to capture overhead costs involved while executing production order.
While preparing for product costing, it includes material cost and internal activity costs(means secondary cost elements).
But i wants to capture overhead costs involved for a particular production order.
For example, over head cost related to production is Shop floor cleaning. This process has been subcontarcted. We are paying for this in monthly basis.
For your information i have created secondary cost element (t.code:ka06) for overheads .
But my problem is how to link this overhead costs with a particular production order?
And how to capture paying terms(Monthly basis) of this overhead costs?
Please guide me?
Senthil

Dear suraj,
I have created secondary cost element (T.code:ka06) as Z_overhead with cost element category as 41 and attribute mix as FP and assigned to my cost center.
Then i was about to create activity in t.code KL01 as O_HEAD. Here only i got problem.
If you get into this t.code(kl01), in "Allocation cost element category" field i should able to assign the secondary cost element what i have created in t.code KA06, ( here it is z_overhead). But i can not assign the same secondary cost element with the activity.
So i can not successfully create my activity type.
Please guide how to create secondary cost element and activity type for over head.
Please explain me in detail
Waiting for your response
Thanks
Senthil

Overhead costing sheet in easy cost planning

Hello,
I have created a overhead costing sheet (having base as material cost elements where a %age is defined to be applied on the material cost) and attached it to the valuation variant of easy cost planning in PS module.
Now for a given project when I am checking the easy cost planning, it is showing all individual lines of resources like material etc. along with its qty, price and value but I can not see the effect of the %age specified in overhead costing sheet.
Kindly suggest what is to be done.
Also pl. let me know whether I can see the cost component structure of easy cost planning.
With Thanks and Regards
Ratna

Hello,
Thanks for your reply.
But when I run CJ46 for a particular WBS element, it says "The object is not relevant for processing".
I have created the costingsheet as per the process mentioned below.
For overhead costing sheet, base is created with raw material cost elements range and origin group range.
Overhead rate is defined with dependency D020 - Overhead Type/Plant as 1.5% with proper validity period.
Credity key is defined with secondary cost element with category 41 and cost center and fixed % with default "*".
The above costing sheet is attached to the valuation variant of easy cost planning in PS module.
There is a cost component structure 10 which is attached to costing variant PS06.
Still CJ46 gives message as "The object is not relevant for processing" when I run it for particular WBS element.
Kindly suggest whether I m missing any other step.
With Thanks and Regards.

How to add the purchasing overhead costs to the material costs

Hi,
I have a requirement to add the purchasing overhead costs like transportation costs to the material costs so that the costs is added to the material costs and update my material price accordingly.
Can u tell me how to do it for both standard price and MAP price?

Hi,
Please attach a accrual key in customization (Pricing procedure) to the overhead condition type you use.

Overhead cost

Dear All,
We have manufacturing set up,where in the client produces diffrent kind of mother boards (FG materails ) in a Single Line :(i,e created as a one Production Cost center) .We have four activity types through which direct cost will be captured for each activity type for each FG material.
Apart from the above,we have Facoty Overhead,Manfacturing Overhead,Admin Overhead & Other Overhead Cost.
One way to bring this overhead cost to production cost ihat first allocate this overhead cost to Production cost center,then splitting of thse overhead cost among four activity types and finally arriviring at the actvity cost per hour ,which includes
both the Direct Cost & Overhead Cost.
But my client is not acepting this approach of aplitting and taking as part of activity cost.
Client wants to allocate the Overhead cost to different FG materials based on the no.of mother boards produced as overhead cost needs to be captured separately for each mother board production cost.
Can any body throws some light on how to bring the overhead cpst as part of product cost (inventory cost),instead of splitting the overhead cost to activity types.
Regards
Su

Dear Ajay,
Dear Mr Ajay,
I have explored the costing sheet concept and worked on this,but when I was estimating cost by CK11N,I could able to see Overhead Cost in the Cost Component View,but when I select Itemisation view,Overhead costs are not appearing.
Please tell me what could be the reson for this .Am I missed any thing.
One more concern I have that l when I estimate the cost by KKPAN,there is no item category for bringing the Overhead Cost.
As you know that Category 'M' will be used for Material ,Category 'E' will be used for Actvity Cost,similarly what item category to be used to bring the Overhead Cost.
Please suggest.
Regards
Su

How to post overhead costs in WBS object currency?

I have a requirement to post the overhead costs (t.code CJ45) to the WBS elements in the respective WBS element object currency instead of the controlling area currency or the company code currency. How can i configure this?

Which ERP scenarios can be performed with overhead cost orders?...

Hello SAP-team!
Which ERP scenarios can be performed with overhead cost orders?
- Material cost estimates with BOM and task lists
- Overhead cost collectors that post overhead costs to cost centers
- Accrued costs in CO
- Settlement to a G/L account if FI-AA is not being used
- Investment orders that post to fixed assets
ps: thanks to SAP-community!

Dividing the overhead costs to production orders !

Hi all,
This is regarding the overhead costs split to different Production orders.
The scenario is for e.g There are 3 production orders
P-1
P-2
P-3
and the first 2 production orders(P-1 and P-2 ) are assigned profit center 1
and the last production order (P-3 )is assigned a profit center 2.
In the costing sheet configuration the profit centers are defined and profit center 1 is assigned 10% and the profit center 2 is assigned 20%
The overheads/ other direct costs should be split into 3 pdn orders in the % assigned to the profit centers.
Is this possible? if so, let me know the methodology.
Thanks and Regards
Karpagam

absolutelly possible
if you have defined the % per PC in KZS2 and there are costs on the orders (as the basis for %)
than you have to run KGI2 or CO43 (mass)
cheers

Overhead Cost Allocation - with IFRS

Hi Gurus,
We have configured Leading Ledger for reporting in IFRS and a non-leading ledger for local (India) Reporting.
As this implementation is being done by our Overseas parent company - we are using template allocation for Overhead cost allocation.
However, we want to allocate expenses based on actual consumptions rather than on Process Output quantity. ie. for example - electricity charges we want to distribute based on actual no of units consumed by each department/machine/process.
Kindly advise, If there a possibility for having both methods in the system (automatic) or manul process for achieving this.
Thanks
Sree.

Hi Expert,
There is no such feature to Allocate Overhead Cost with Ledgers.
No need to Allocate Costs or Overhead Costs with respect to Leading Ledger - IFRS.
By default, the Costs or Overhead Costs are allocated to Leading Ledgers.
