Hi Experts,
Is it possible to do

Please advise.
With Regards
Nadh

HI Nadh,
You can create the structure of your Marketing plan & the Planning profile in CRM.The Budgeting & cost planning would be captured in BI.So the answer to your question is No, you cannot do it in CRM alone.

Non-Shared Strcuture: Capture Actual cost on workplan task.

Can anyone tell me how to capture costs on a workplan task on a non-shared structure. A step by step method would be helpful.
- Thank you.

Thanks Dean, I can able to generate financial plan budget amount from workplan costs now.
1) But, similarly can I generate Forecast financial plan amounts from the workplan resources too? As its not generating forecast amount from the specified worplan version against the initial proposed budget.
2) Also, is there any way to generate workplan costs from financial plan costs in shared & nonshared project structures?
Thanks,

Marketing Planning Planning and Actual Cost

Hi
We have a clinet requirement, where they want Marketing Planning functionality to be implemented. They want to use Budget Planning and Actual cost tracking functionality. Now as per my understanding we use SEM/BI for planning (Key Figure) and PS or COPA integration for Actual Cost Tracking.
Is my understanding correct and what are the steps required for the two. Client has currently implemented SEM/BI and ECC, but PS is not in scope. So we will have to capture Actual Cost using COPA.
Thanks & Regards

Where do we maintain budget in marketing plan

where do we maintain budget in marketing plan
any information is rewarded .
thanks in advance

hi ,
planning, budgeting, and performance monitoring is carried out using SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence (BI). Posting of budget data takes place in SAP ERP Core Component (SAP ECC).
1.      Create and maintain marketing plan (CRM Server)
You create a marketing plan in the CRM Marketing Planner, maintain details, define the hierarchical structure of your plan, and assign marketing plan elements. When you save this marketing plan, it is transferred to the BI system for reporting purposes.
       2.      Plan marketing key figures (CRM Server)
Once you created a marketing plan, you plan key figures for that marketing plan directly in the CRM Marketing Planner. The planned key figures are transferred to the BI system where they can be used to plan the budget.
       3.      Release marketing plan (CRM Server)
When you completed your planning, you release the marketing plan. The data is transferred to SAP ECC Profitability Analysis (CO-PA).
       4.      Commit and release budget data to ERP (BI)
In the BI system, you commit budget data and release it. It is transferred to CO-PA, where it can be used to evaluate the costs of the project.
       5.      Compare plan/actual revenue and cost (BI)
In the BI system, you can monitor response and success rates, monitor open orders, and compare plan/actual revenues and costs.

Marketing Planning and Campaign Management

Hi Gurus
How to send Marketing Planning and Campaign Management from CRM system to Other ERP system
How to send Marketing Planning and Campaign Management from CRM system to Other R/3 system
Thanks
Mahi

Hi Mahi,
The Integration of SAP CRM with R/3 will be
Project System, Finance, Accounting
for that u ve to check the check box in Mkt plan onwards
in ECC u can see in PS
Marketing plans and campaigns can be used stand alone in the CRM system. However, when CRM
is integrated with other SAP systems (BW, R/3, etc.) increased functionality is possible.
Planned values (e.g. planned costs, revenues, etc.) for marketing plans and campaigns can be written
to a BW infocube. These planned values can then be used in reporting to match actual values, for
example, actual revenues and costs.
When linked with R/3, actual costs related to campaigns and marketing plans can be captured by
using the financial and accounting functionality in R/3.
These actual costs can then be extracted to the same infocube in BW to allow for planned versus
actual costs for a campaign.
Reward points if helpful
Cheers

How can I crosscheck Total Planned/Actual Cost in MCI3 (S061) correct?

Hi Masters,
I want to crosscheck "Total Planned Cost" and "total Actual Cost" in MCI3(S061) - Location and Planning analysis is correct or not.'
In my current system I am trying to compare the Orders in IW39 and MCI3 but costs are not matching.
I have done some analysis and found that the costs are updated in S061 from PMCO.
But for same Orders in months e.g August I am getting posting for July,August and Semptember.
So I am not sure how I can compare the values of "Total Planned Cost " and Total Actual Cost" in S061 to IW39.
If it is possible to compare what selection criteria I should use for fetcing the Orders from AUFK or IW39. Which dates are I should used ( Date range - Period, Basic start/end dates, Actual start/End Dates).
With Best Regards,
Narendra dere
SAP- Manufacturing.

Hello,
Comparing the MCI3 & IW39 cost figures is not right as per my knowledge.
S061-->following below logic for calculations for Actual Cost and Planned Cost
Total planned costs for PM measures
Sum of planning costs for PM measures
This key figure will be updated when a PM order with a time reference is created and changed at the starting date of the posting period, in which the costs were created.
Total of the actual costs for PM measures
This key figure is updated with every cost-relevant transaction for a PM order (for example, completion confirmation, material withdrawal) for the beginning date of the posting period, in which the costs were created. For historical orders, the key figure is updated when creating and changing a historical order with a time reference to the starting date of the posting period which was determined for the reference date of the order.
Total of actual costs for companyu2019s own material for PM measures
This key figure is updated for every cost-relevant operation for a maintenance order (for example, time confirmation, material withdrawal).
For historical orders, the key figure is updated when creating and changing a historical order with a time reference to the starting date of the posting period which was determined for the reference date of the order. The key figure update is important from a business point of view only when a material removal is made.
Total of actual costs for external material for PM measures
This key figure is updated with every cost-relevant transaction for a PM order (for example, completion confirmation, material withdrawal) for the beginning date of the posting period, in which the costs were created.

Actual cost of production order in inventory valuation

Hi,
Kindly tell me in our client requirement to "capture actual cost of drum manufactured. This cost will go to finished mixer. So actual goods receipt of drum should be with actual production order cost . Also actual mixer cost should be taken from actual production order cost. How to map this s cenarionin in SAP" ?
Best Regards,
Anindita

Hi Shyam,
In SAP product costing we use generally standard cost estimation. Raw material ara taken as moving averagae price as v and finished products are taken as standard price i.e, S. Before cost estimation we update plan price in material master costing view 2 for accurate cost estimation. In case of standard cost estimation price variance is occured which is post to separate gl account. Our client wants actual cost rather than standard cost. Without implementing material ledger is it possible to do actual costing in SAP. Please let me know the process of actual costing...

Actual Cost Component Split for cross company code transfers.

Hi,
My issue is as follows.
Production process spans across 2 company codes.
Goods are produced in production company code, transferred (via stock transport order) to marketing company code and sold to customers from marketing company code.
Stock transport order follows sales scenario i.e.. marketing company code creates purchase order for goods from production company code and production company code bills marketing for the goods.
Actual costing / Material ledger is implemented in both company codes.
We would like to roll-up (transfer) actual cost component split from production company code to marketing company (in a similar way as in product cost planning in cross-company scenario).
However, due to the fact that the transfer between the companies is in fact a "sales" the goods in marketing company code are seen as externally purchased and the only cost component we can create is based on PO conditions. But we want to get the info about production cost component split.
Once again this is for ACTUAL cost component split.
I would be grateful for any ideas.
Thanks,
Szymon

Hi Udo / Szymon.
I have a question about this issue.
In the sap help about multiple valuations / group costing:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/7e/cb848443a311d189ee0000e81ddfac/content.htm
Its not clear if this can roll up the Actual CCS? or what it do? My question is because i read the documentation of bussiness function: LOG_MM_SIT,and also the book *Actual Costing with The SAP Material Ledger*
states that we can handle the rollup of actual cost component split inter-company only with this BF active.
Could you clarify about this?
thanks!!
Arturo.
Group Valuation
Goods movements between affiliated companies not involving intercompany profits are processed using the group view. This view determines the actual cost of goods manufactured for the group, and does not include any intercompany profits. You can, however, display internal profits as delta profits in the legal and/or profit center views.
When you define cost components, you can specify that internal profits between company codes and/or profit centers are shown in detail in the cost component split. You activate these delta profits for the group valuation in the attributes of the cost components.
For each cost component structure, there can only be one cost component under which the delta profit is shown. This means that neither the legal view nor the profit center view can have more than one cost component for the delta profit.
To cost multiple values, you define a costing type for each valuation approach in Customizing for Product Cost Planning. You use the costing type to specify which valuation approach you require. You define each costing type in a new costing variant and carry out a cost estimate with this costing variant.
Group Costing and Multiple Valuation Approaches
In-Depth Detail of the Value-Added Chain: Partner Cost Component Split
You can display in detail the costs of materials and services of every company department in the value-added chain for every stage of the production process. The partner can be traced for every material used. To do this, you define a partner version, which enables the value-added portions of each manufacturing level to be displayed in detail. For further information about this, see Partners and Direct Partners.
The group cost component split can be displayed according to your partner definition. You can display the cost structures of the partners hierarchically according to your requirements, such as the company code segments on the highest level and the plant or profit center segments underneath.
To display partner cost component splits, define a partner version in Customizing and enter it in the costing type.

Budgeting and Calendar with External Agency

We are implementing Marketing Planning/Budgeting/Calendar to help plan and track marketing communications. We are trying to use the budgeting and calendar functionality in conjunction with data we receive from an external agency that provides media planning services and reporting. We are wondering if we are trying to include too much detail in CRM or attempting to do something in the tool that it is not designed for.
Do companies typically integrate and/or upload agency generated data into CRM to create a media calendar? What level of media detail is typically captured in CRM, e.g. for each buy by publication (this could be several thousand lines of data that may be updated frequently as timing and priorities shift) or at a more aggregated level?
thanks,
Brad

Bjoern,
I have not tried sending a format without the year. But be warned, the format once the user selects a date will be based on the user's locale settings and not be the format of the simple type you setup. It will be re-formatted once the data is sent to the server and comes back, but until then it will not be the same as the initial format.

Posting Actual Costs at Material Level

Hi All
For our standard costs we will have BOM Components, Activities from Routings and additive costs. We also have activated Material Ledger and will use it for Actual Costing, the objective being that each and every actual cost will be brought to the SKU level. For BOM components and activities that is no problem since it will be done through settlement.
However for cost components that have additive costs how do we settle them to the material ledger? Do we need to do MR22 for difference between standard and actual? Is there a way to do this through a template allocation or some other allocation method?
Thank you

Hi
Lets assume, you have Std cost of 100 USD involving Material + Labor and an additive cost of 10 USD entered manually from CK74N...
During production order processing - You would issue material components and confirm Labor hrs... Say, this amounts to 120 USD as against the std cost of 100 USD...
However, in prod orders, there will be nothing posted against the additive std cost of 10 USD... If you wish, you need to post it either through template allocation from some cost centers or use some assessment cycle or transfer manually from KB11N or use a costing sheet

Actual cost process

Hello to all! I wanted to know if somebody can help me with costs of OPM. I am working in a test instance and I will make inventory transactions: Purchase receptions, Transfer among werehauses, inventory adjustments. As well as, to report in WIP of production batches. I have ready standard cost of each item and I want to know if it is enough to copy it at the current cost before beginning to make the transactions and calculate actual costs or I have to make some other process.
rgvel@

Hi
I am not sure what the purpose or itention is and hence the question becomes a bit unclear. Could you please elaborate on what is it that you want to achieve. You mention about actual cost and then you say you have standard cost available

Actual cost is not seen in the variance calculation KKS2

Hi
I   did variance calculation of a Production order ( after telco) . Its a co - product.   The target cost , actual cost and allocated cost   fields are present after execution.   Now the actual cost field is   blank and so   the variance is not correct.
Pl advise on why the actual cost field is not populated with the cost.
Thanks
kamala

Hi
KOB1 shows the actual cost . I do TECO for the PO and calculate Variance for co-product material, and the actual cost is showing at zero. But   then i do settlement KO88, and the   variance amount gets posted CORRECTLY and FI document is generated.
So why is the ACTUAL COST field   ' ZERO'    in KKS2, but    KO88   settlement shows the variance amount.
It there some different logic to do variance calculation for   PO   involving main product which have co-products in it.
Thanks for any inputs
