Landed costs variance

As far as I can tell SAP landed costs doesn't track record expected landed costs, only actual landed costs.  In other words there is not a way using landed costs to track expected landed costs vs. actual landed costs and identify variances?  Is there some other way to do this?

When you mention 'expected landed cost' what do you want SAP B1 to do with this value?
The reason SAP B1 tracks actual landed cost is because this value is then passed on to the item unit cost which in turn will affect the gross profit (GP) value in the sales.

  • Variance between G/L and audit report incase of Landed cost

    Hi,
    Scenario
    GRPO : 17000 qty dated 01.09.09
    Goods issue :15000 qty 05.09.09
    Landed cost: 17000Qty dated 10.09.09
    when we post the landed cost the system will post the journal entry based on total qty 17000.
    But if i see the audit report,value is shown for only 2000qty and rest is posted to price difference account.
    In this case how is it possible to reconcile the G/L and the audit report?
    Please help
    thanks

  • Landed costs and price differences

    I'm trying to figure out what PS does to adjust for total value discrepancies between an invoice voucher and associated PO. Say on my PO I have a line item with quantity of 2 and unit price of $10. Therefore total value is $20. When I create a voucher, that same line item is now 2x$11 = $22. I approve that voucher for $22. Now I run the Extract Landed Cost batch process. What does this process do to "compensate" for the difference between voucher and PO? Does it change the unit price of that item in inventory from $10 to $11?

    Hi, yes you are right: Using this approach ML would use price differences for other batches and increase their value instead of posting them as loss like the initial cost.
    The way around that would be to post some unplanned material good receipt for the loss production order, e.g. a material called scrap. In account determination you might make sure that these materials have own stock and price difference accounts that you could treat special in your balance sheet.
    This would be shown in ML like a joint production between the planned product and the scrap material and multi-level variances would be distributed using following an apportionment structure from material master.
    If it is difficult to maintain a reasonable apportionment structure you might implement BADI  cost_split described in note 997264.
    Also a good possibility would be to use a quantity-proportional split that can be derived from the ML quantity structure.
    I could provide an example implementation of that.

  • Allocate Landed Cost to Goods Receipt before Item is sold

    Hi
    Our Client would like to have a prompting to remind User to allocated Landed Cost before selling the Item as Users always make mistake and sold items before allocating landed cost to Goods Receipt resulting wrong posting of accounting entries to variance accounts.
    Kedalene Chong

    Hi,
    we are discussing this topic also here in Austria, as a customer usually ships the goods the same day when having received, and the AP Invoice is posted some days later.
    Our suggestion is a batch job that is used for period closing, which checks all shipments that were made before having posted the regarding AP Invoice, to bring a control report that sums the entries according to Item "Set G/L Accounts by" and the setup of freight costs for distribution method, so that this amounts can be balanced manually (or even better automatically) within G/L from variances to the according COGS accounts.
    Basically we need the distinction between preliminary costs (goods are shipped without having posted AP Invoice) and final costs (AP Invoice is posted).
    For the moment only manual journal entries from G/L account variances to COGS is possible.

  • Landed Cost not showing in Inventory Audit

    I have a query that goes against the OIPF/IPF1 tables to locate all Landed Cost transactions for a particular item. To test/verify the query, I ran the Inventory Audit report for the item. There are transactions returned from the query that do not show in the Inventory Audit report. Is there any reason or circumstance under which a Landed Cost Transaction would not show in the Inventory Audit report. I checked against all warehouses. This does not seem to be a singular event in that I have found random occurences of this for different items yet the majority of the time the Audit Report returns all entries.

    Dear Cristian
    Please check the Following things.
    1)First check audit report for a Single Product.
    2)Select all warehouse in Audit report.
    3) Check you landed cost entry if your JV not pass in landed cost, so landed Cost not reflected in you audit report. (Auto JV not pass in SAP 2005 Version)
    Please check and Let me Know.

  • To add cost in already posted Landed Cost document

    Hi experts,
    i have created an landed cost against an GRPO and added my other costs against the GRPO, and then i have made an A/P invoice against the document, now my GRPO has been closed and the payment to the party has been done.
    Later to add some cost against the landed cost, i am trying to use the landed cost option under copy from button by selecting the same vendor. but the earlier landed cost entry is not available for selection.
    Kindly guide me with this process.
    Regards
    Pradeeo

    Hi,
    It is not possile to change the posting period in a posted document, alternatively you can park the document form the external system and it can be posted in SAP after review by the user.

  • How to reverse landed cost on open A/P Invoice

    Dear Support
    Please be so kind to assist wiht the following issue: I need to reverse landed cost from a open A/R Invoice #  72223
    Purchase Order #  125025
    Goods Receipt # 16426
    Landed Cost 15332
    A/P 72223
    If i select the A/P invoice and copy to A/P Credit memo and preview the journal remarks first, the following error occurs
    "Quantiy falls into a negative inventory"
    My Question however are if I do proceed with this function, will this rectify the landed cost?
    Please view the screen shots attached for investigation as well as the journal remarks on each document
    Inventory Posting List:
    The reason for not posting to the stock account is because the AR Invoice was been done before the landed cost has been processed:
    At the time of landed cost there were no stock on hand, this has been the reason why the amount has been posted to the Price difference ledger account  and not the stock account.
    Your response will be much appreciated

  • Landed costs can not get Goods receipt PO when Goods return made

    Hi, everybody
    I need to calculate landed costs and it seems that I can not use when I built a Goods return.
    My procedure as follow ( ps: the same vendor number)
    1. created a PO then Goods receipt PO (docNum says 1111) which included 20 quanties for item no AAAA.
    2. created a Goods return which Copy from Goods receipt PO no: 1111, which included 5 quanties for item no AAAA.
    3. next, I try to caculate my Landed costs. I open a new Landed costs and click the button "Goods Receipt PO", but I can not find any Goods receipt PO no: 1111.
    What can I do to caculate my exactly landed costs & Goods receipt PO no: 1111 that included 15 quanties?
    Thanks for your help

    When you only Returned partial goods from your Receipt.  The Receipt should still be open and you should be able to process the Landed cost. I am not sure why the GR is not showing in the landed costs window.
    Please check if the GR is closed by an AP Invoice / by itself.
    Otherwise, you will need to process AP Goods Return for the remaining 15 and process a New Goods Receipt for 15.

  • Reversing Landed Cost document with more than one vendor

    Hi Experts,
    Reversing Landed Cost document with more than one vendor:
    My client can reverse a landed cost document with One Vendor, but cannot with multiple vendors. I have also tested this in 8.8 PL10. Here is a brief description:
    Created Landed cost by selecting 2 vendors in the Vendor field.
    After you picked one vendor, you go to the vendor code/name again then choose another vendor you
    need, once you picked, the system will ask you whether you want to delete the previous data, then
    you say no, after then you will see the vendor name became "different vendors" and code be "********"
    (on the vendor tab: you will see two vendors)
    To Reverse Landed Cost we do the following with Landed Cost documents that only have one vendor:
    I can copy from the Landed Cost document (on the right-bottom corner) while creating new one with
    zero amount to reverse, which is ok; but for multiple vendors, the list of vendors onlyshows one of
    the vendors for Good Receipts & Landed Cost.
    Cannot copy from a Landed Cost document wioth more than one vendor to reverse this Landed Cost.
    To be albe to copy from a previously created Landed Cost document (with multiple vendors) as you
    can with one vendor to reverse the transaction.
    Can this functionality be added to future versions?

    Take a look at business area and groupings in they payment program settings...

    Grouping Open Items and Individual Payments
    Wherever possible, the payment program will always group items together for payment.
    The payment program can only group together open items for payment if the open items in an account have the same:
    1. Currency
    2. Payment method in the item
    3. Bank in the item
    4. Contents of the grouping fields (if a grouping key is specified in the customer or vendor master record)
    You can also pay open items from different company codes together, as well as customer and vendor line items.
    Items in an account are not grouped together if you:
    1. Make payments separately per business area. This procedure entails separate payments being created per business area.
    2. Want to make individual payments
    Items in which a payment method is specified are not grouped with items in which no payment method is specified.
    You define the required grouping key in the IMG for Financial Accounting under Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable -> Business Transactions -> Outgoing Payments -> Automatic Outgoing Payments -> Payment Method/Bank Selection for Payment Program -> Define Payment Groupings.
    In our system, if the business area is the same, there will be one ZP document with one line with a posting key of 25. Otherwise there will be many individual 25 posting key lines with.

  • Landed Cost error based Goods receipt note

    I have the following scenario at a client trying to post landed cost in US dollar against a GRN also in US dollar for a supplier set to US$
    The following message displays trying to post the landed cost: Transaction currency differs from BP or account currency:
    1) The supplier has been used numerous times before and is in UD$ currency
    2) The General ledger clearing accounts is also set to All currencies
    3) We also deleted all the lines on the landed cost document and with only one line on the document the message still appeared.
    Some of the items has been sold in the meantime and part of the offset posting will be posted to Cost of sales. The Cost of sales accounts is set to South African Rand. I thought that will be a problem and I have set them to various currencies and still could not post the landed cost document in US$
    I also upgraded from PL49 to SP1 PL05 and still the issue prevails.
    Any assistance will be much appreciated.

  • Trying to link Goods Receipt Purchase Order (OPDN) to Landed Cost (OIPF)?

    Hi Everyone,
    I am wondering what the link is between a Goods Receipt Purchase Order and a Landed Cost. Here is a diagram of the link that I am trying to determine.
    According to the Database Tables Reference there is a link between OPDN (Goods Receipt Purchase Order) and OIPF (Landed Costs) called 'ImportEnt', as shown below -
    However I can't work out what 'ImportEnt' links to on the OPDN (Goods Receipt Purchase Order) side.
    Any advice concerning how to link OPDN to OIPF will be greatly appreciated.
    Kind Regards,
    David

    Hi Nagarajan,
    Thank you for the helpful response. The key to fixing my query was in the code below (which you kindly shared) -
    LEFT JOIN PDN1 T2 ON T1.[BaseEntry] = T2.[DocEntry] AND T1.[LineNum] = T2.[BaseLine]

  • Help needed in Freight / Landed Cost

    Hi,
    (1) Needed help in finalising the process of freight. In many cases (mostly
    interstate) the customer arranges for the transporter to bring the goods to
    the factory as the original vendor does not provide the facility of
    transportation. Now the customer wants to include this transporation cost to
    the cost of the item. Also the transporter will later send the bills
    against which they will book it in tally and clear its payments.
    How can the above be achieved. I cannot use the freight component in the GRN
    as it charges the same to the original vendor (and not the transporter).
    Also if i try to use landed cost then it ask me for some landed cost default
    allocation account.
    (2) Also in cases when the customer is importing some item, the bill of entry
    takes some time to come to the office after the actual GRN of goods. Now as
    soon as the material arrives and GRN is done the stores issues it to
    production for consumption. Now since landed cost has still not be booked
    and the item is already consumed what would be the implications?
    Pls answer if you have any suggestion if i am using the same item code both
    in imports as well as local purchases.
    Regards,
    Rahul

    Hi,
    In Your first case,
    you can use landed cost functionality to increase your item cost by the freight value and then use service invoice to raise pay the transporter.
