Kp06 variable cost planning

i want to maintained cost element wise variable cost not activity price.
in kp06 we can plan only fixed cost, variable cost field is display status.
pl advise

Hi,
When you want to maintain variable costs in KP06 it means you would like to maintain activity dependent costs.
You always need the respective activity type with respect to which activity you would be incurring the expenses.

  • Primary cost planning other than object currency

    Dear All,
    I have maintained my controlling area curreny and Cost center object currency as USD. Now As per my user requirement i need to do primary cost planning using KP06 in SGD currency. Please help to provide your suggestions. Is it possible to select currency field in KP06 primary cost planning? Moreover i donot want to change cost center objec currency from USD to SGD.
    Thanks & Regards

    HI,
    the planning layout change for primary cost happens in KP66.
    Ensure that the exchange rate type / date you need from planning currency to CO-Area currency is maintained in CO version definition.

  • Cost center planning data-Plan Variable Costs in Object Currency

    Dear All:
    I have copied a standard planning layout and for the field, 'Planned Fixed Cost' and 'Planned Variable Cost', I have selected 'Plan Variable Costs in Object Currency' and 'Plan Fixed Costs in Object Currency' as the Key Figure.
    I am doing this because our Controlling Area currency is TWD and the other company will upload the planning data in RMB .
    However when I do the above settings and try to save, I am getting the following errors.
    The column 'Plan Fixed Costs in Object Currency' can input correctly but the column 'Plan Variable Costs in Object Currency' canu2019t be update in KP06 .
    ex.
    Planner profile: SAPALL
    layout :1-101
    I can't update the column "Plan Variable Costs "
    I copy the layout 1-101 and change the column to  'Plan Fixed Costs in Object Currency' and it  still can't input variable cost
    BR,

    Hi Carol
    I have done this many times and never faced this issue
    Just delete the copied layout and Copy it again from 1-101....
    May be delete the existing columns of the layout and choose the desired key figure of object currency
    Then assign the layout to Planner Profile

  • Variable costs - KP06, KP26

    Hi,
    We have an interesting situation here - it seems as if when the user runs the KSPI transaction, it adjusts the total variable costs on the KP06 screen, and not the price on the KP26 screen, when the volumes are changed.
    Now I can see the advantage for being able to do things this way, but do not know where to do this.
    Have anybody seen the system behave like this?

    What happens, is that the adjustment to the total variable cost happens at the time of KPSI, not KSPI. So if a price has already been created, and changes in the volumes take place, then KPSI will adjust the total variable overheads, to reflect the new volumes.
    However, I have found instances during testing, where the total variable costs change, even though there has been no change in the activity hours. One reason that suggest itself, is that because of change in the capacity resource utilisation, the activity takes place in a different month than previously, even though the total activity for the year is unchanged.
    But we ar emaking use of average prices for activity price calculations, so this should not be causing the problem.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance

  • Variable Cost And Fix Cost Planning

    What are the settings and are they in Product Costing sub module to be able to clearly see the difference in movement of fixed and variable costs for the activity types in the cost of a product. (Product Cost with quatitiy structure CK11N)
    At present, in our settings, even though we have broken the rates as fixed and variable for the actitiy types in cost center planning, there is absolutely no impact in product cost for this. All costs move like variable costs.
    Best Regards.

    Check in Cost component structure for cost component for the attributes.
    For Activity cost type attribute you must select the control parameter as fixed and variable costs radio button.

  • Variable Costs using SKF in Indirect Activity Allocation

    Hello
    I am trying to use indirect activity allocations and KSPI to transfer costs from an activity in an indirect cost center to multiple direct cost centers. The Receiver tracing factor is planned SKF (i.e. number of employees). The issue I have is that when doing this allocation, the variable cost at the indirect cost center gets transferred as a fixed cost to the direct cost centers. We need to have this as a variable cost on the direct cost centers. Can anyone suggest anything or let me know if I'm doing something wrong?
    Here are my sender/receivers:
    Sender:
    Quantities Calculated Inversely
    Plan Values
    Receiver tracing factor:
    variable Portions
    Planned SKF
    No Scaling
    Thank you

    Hi Mark
    I was able to achieve this in the past...as below
    1. On the indirect Cost center - Use an activity type Catg 2 (indirect entry indirect allocation)
    2. On the receiver cost centers - Use an act type Catg 4 (Instead of SKF)
    3. Enter the Plan Act Qty for this Act Type on the receiver direct cost centers in KP26 and Actual Qty in KB51N
    4. In cycle definition - Var Portion Type would be based on Plan Act Qty instead of SKF
    5. Execute KSCB - Folllowed by KSPI.....
    You can also try the above using SKF on receiver cost centers - But Act Type Catg 2 on the Sender Indirect cost center.... I guess, this is what you have done... In my opinion, this should also work...
    I believe, to transfer the costs as variable - You need to plan them in KP06 as variable (i.e. Activity Dependant Planning)....
    So, Plan your expenses on the indirect cost center in KP06 with reference to the Act Type Category 2

  • Apportionment of semi variable cost

    Dear SAP Gurus,
    We define the cost components in the cost component structure (OKTZ) with attributes as variable or fixed and variable costs.
    Suppose if we define one component with attribute as fixed and variable - where do we maintain the settings as to how much is fixed and how much portion goes to variable -  Please clarify.
    Please provide example as to how KP06 and KP26 differentiates fixed and variable costs and how it is displayed in the output of CK13N.
    Please explain.
    Regards

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply.
    My client requirement is to show the costs under variable costs.  For which I have defined the cost component as variable and planned them in KP06 and KP26.
    Still while performing KSS2 and KSSI system is showing values under control costs fixed.
    I need the solution as to what shall I do to show them under the variable control  costs alone.

  • Taxes and duties on components for cost plan

    Hi experts
    I am working for below scenario:
    The components those are planned must be added with applicable taxes for cost plan.
    In case of imported goods, the applicable import duties need to be added to cost plan.
    Similarly in case of external services, the service tax to be included.
    For this purpose i wish to maintain different costing sheets (with various tax rates).
    The relevant costing sheet is added in the activity/ component.
    Is this OK or any other solution?
    In this case, the predefined costing sheets to be used. As and when new rate comes in to picture, customizing to be done.
    Any solution, with which user can make use of different variables easily?
    warm regards ramSiva

    Hi Virendra
    I will maintain different costing sheets as follows:
    00001: No overhead
    00002: VAT 10%
    00003: Service tax 12%
    No one is defaulted with any of the profile.
    I am thinking to make the field at activity level mandatory.
    So, user has to choose the appropriate costing sheet at each activity level.
    As the description is maintained with detail of tax, the user can choose the right one.
    I request to comment and suggest if any easy way to achieve this requirement.
    warm regards

  • Variables in planning

    Hi All,
    Q1) The variables that are created in query designer or the filter variables created in planning modeler can be accessed in fox functions? If yes, how ?  I have a requirement where I have to read the cost center variable values and make the changes accordingly in the fox functions i.e pass the cost center variable values to the fox planning function. My fox planning function will update the 0amount key figure for the cost center variable value. for eg: if I use variable "VARCOCNTR" , can I use this variable in fox function like below
                   DATA COSTCNTR TYPE 0COSTCENTER.
                   COSTCNTR = VARC("VARCOCNTR").
      Let me know which variables can be accessed in fox and exit planning functions.
    Q2) Need to know the scenarios when and how we use variables for planning functions and planning sequences
    Q3) Can somebody send me the How-to guide for creating custom function modules(exits) in IP for any scenario with full code so that I can practice it.

    Hi Jacky,
    For your Q1) , the answer is yes. all the single type variable can be retrieved in IP Formula, single,multi-single, user exit, authorization, realize that the value of variable is not a range.
      Hope this help.

  • Cost Planning Error

    Hi to All,
    My name is Samad Farooq, currently using SAP Version 4.6C
    When creating a cost plan using the transaction code KP06, error is encountered when we try to save the planned data. Error that is displayed is as follow “Ledger 4A has fiscal year variant V6 instead of K4”.
    This specific case is happening only when using the controlling area JVCS and company code MAZ. Company code MAZ uses a calendar year.
    Thanking You,
    Samad Farooq

    Samad.. chech out the process...
    The fiscal year variant contains the number of posting periods in the fiscal year and the number of special periods.
    You can define a maximum of 16 posting periods for each fiscal year in the Controlling component (CO). To define the fiscal year variant, go to Customizing for Financial Accounting (FI), Financial Accounting Global Settings--->® Fiscal Year -
    Maintain Fiscal Year Variant.
    Integration
    You need to specify the fiscal year variant for each company code.
    When you create a controlling area, you also need to specify the fiscal year variant. The fiscal year variants of the company code and controlling area may only differ in the number of special periods used. You need to ensure that the fiscal year variants match, in other words, they may not have a time conflict.
    You can assign a company code using a fiscal year variant with 12 posting periods and four special periods to a controlling area that has a fiscal year variant with 12 posting periods and one special period. The time frame, for example, from April 1 to March 31 in the following year, must be identical in each fiscal year variant.
    However, it cannot be assigned to a controlling area with 52 posting periods for example.
    For more information on fiscal year variants, see the SAP Library under AC Financials -
    FI Financial Accounting -
    FI General Ledger Accounting(FI GL) -
    FI - Closing and Reporting in Posting Periods and  Fiscal Years.
    Thank you

  • Reposting fixed costs to variable costs

    Hi Gurus,
    one of our subsidiary company uses target=actual method in the cost center accounting. Sometimes they forget to plan some cost elements during the planning process. If some costs incurred on these unplanned cost elements, SAP put all of these costs to the fixed costs during the period-end closing (activity allocation).
    So far so good, but is there any possibility to repost these costs to variable costs on cost center level???
    Thx

    Thanks a lot for the quick reply.
    We know the splitting method but this company don't use it. For this reason I asked about a possibility if it is possible to repost the amounts from fixed to variable costs afterwards.
    I would be grateful for an other solution.

  • Fixed Cost & Variable cost in Production Order

    Hi  ,
           I have maintained the fixed cost & Variable cost in  KP 26 for the activity type .
    for 1 hr
    Fixed cost : 1
    Variable cost :1
    Operation duration is 1 hr , when i check the Planned cost it shows total plan cost is 6.92 ,
    Fixed cost as 3.46 and variable cost as 3.46 ,
    How the system calculates 6.82 ,
    I have maintained the valuation Variant for the activity type is Plan price for the period .
    As per my understanding system has to calculate the Planned cost as 2 (1 for fixed + 1 for Variable )
    Can anybody explain me why the system calculated the price as 6.82 ...
    Thanks in Advance ...

    Dear,
    Please check the following :
    1.Goto CR02-Slect the Costing tab -Check the Formula Key assinged in the Work Centre costing tab .??
    2.Please note that variable cost is dependant on quantity, where as fixed cost is independent of quantity.
    For example, if you have updated Rs.300 in variable and Rs.200 in Fixed cost fields and you quanity of activity type consumed is 100 minutes.Your fixed cost will be Rs.200 and variable cost will Rs.300/minute * 100 = Rs.30000
    3.What s the currency in Controlling area ??

  • Item no does not have a Variable Cost on the Cost Detail screen

    Hi,
    Item no does not have a Variable Cost on the Cost Detail screen. If you use the Product Cost Model, it does have a variable cost. We need to determine the reason for this nonccost. Any idea of what would be the reason is.
    Thanks,

    Hi Friends,
    I, my self resolved the issue. by considering the following 3 rd strategy in
    For Activity Type/Processes: Considered 3rd strategy as below:
    Activity Types/Processes: 1 plan Price for the Period, 6 Most Up-to-date Plan Price
    and 2 Plan Price as Average of All Fiscal Year Periods.
    Now it has been resolved.
    Thanks all.
    Now it is closed.
