Material Cost - Costing Variant

Hope you guys having great Day,
I have an issues related to Costing Variant and Material Cost. Please check below.
Material #123456 at 1ABC is showing a cost of $0.36/EA(Bag) in Costing Variant Z001, but it is showing a cost of $35.61/EA(Bag) in Costing Variant Z002(PRCT VAL). The cost should be what is showing in Z001. How do we correct the cost to be the same in costing variant Z002
Appreciate your time.
Thanks

Hello-
Please compare valuation variant for both the costing variants and see where is the difference. You can check it by using transaction code OKKN for costing variants and OKK4 for valuation variants. This is where you would normally determine material valuation strategies.

Confuguarable Material Cost Estimate

Hi All.,
It is an urgent requirement.......
My client having both configuarable & non configuarable materials.....
with regarding to the configuarable material cost estimate i don't have good grip on this.
Can anybody please share some guidlines for how to create the cost estimate.....
Thanks one and all.,
Raja

Configurable materials can only have a cost estimate when there is a sales order bom to define the build.
We use configurable material and the cost estimate is configured in the same manner as standard material (Costing variant,costing dates, transfer control, etc. but some of the details differ), but it is only Saved within a Sales order. You can use CU50 for a trial cost - the configuration will have to be created in CU50 before it will cost.
When costing configurable materials in sales orders or for sales orders the valuation variant is different from standard cost variant in these points:
1 - The costing type is different. 18 - Sales order costing vs. 01 - Standard cost est. (mat.)
The Costing type for Sales order does not allow updating of the standard price in the Mat Mstr
The Costing type for Sales order also controls the use of Labor overhead for the costing variant.
2 - Valuation Variant can be different - Valuation for Prod Costing specifies the rules to build a cost estimate. For Sales order, you may want it to use ONLY the standard price for a material/component, and NOT build a cost estimate.
3 - Date control - The default from date for the Config Mat in a Sales order is Today while for product costing it is first of next month
Our Prod Cost Est. is valid until the end of the Fiscal year when a new cost estimate is released. Our Config Material on a Sales order is valid until the end of time.
I cannot explain why we chose one over the other, most of the decisions were made before I arrived. But the Costing Type Difference is very important to us, because there is no chance that the cost estimate will interfere with setting of standards and it allows searching for a Sales Order Cost estimate.
You have to analyze how each part of the costing variant could impact the business and decide how to set it. If circumstances change, you can review the settings later. (I fully intend to review some of ours directly after this conversation.)
Sales Order Costing Variants are on OKY9 while product costing is at OKKN
Sales Order Costing Variants are assigned under SD Maintain Requirements Classes for Costing/Account Assignment (table T459K)
Hope this helps.

Creation of a new costing variant to cost production orders

Hi all,
Currently the business is only able to cost a vehicleu2019s production order at the standard cost value which is determined at the start of the year.
During the year a number of the purchasing values will be updated with a new contract price, this increase will not be reflected in the standard cost until the end of the year.
The business would like a new costing variant which will cost an already created vehicle in SAP by its production order at the u201CCurrent Costu201D (current purchasing info record value).
It will need to be calculated in the following way:
u2022Purchased material - at purchase cost from info record (see below for applicable exchange rate).
u2022Manufactured material - child material to be at purchase cost (from info record). Routing cost (labour\overhead, etc) at current criteria.
u2022No allowance for CPI. [WHAT_ DOES_CPI_MEAN_?]
u2022Exchange rate: ideally, fields are provided to input exchange rate. If this is not possible then apply current monthu2019s exchange;
u2022FRAu2019s - current rate from the info record.
u2022Summary of total material cost by origin code with ability to drill down to line level.
u2022The output of the report will need to be similar to the layout of a production order but with only the current value displayed.
We have some problems to understand this request: we don't know the transaction which is used by the users to costificate a production order and what does it mean "CPI". We are not sure on the feasibility of the costing variant requested because it must consider both actual costs and standard costs.
It should costificate in this way:
(Actual Cost of Row Material * Bom's standard qty) + (Standard price * Standard production time (in the routings).
Could you help us?
Many thanks to all of you, best regards.
Alanis

You can create a new costing variant with a valuation variant that points to inforecords for material prices. Go to OKKN t-code and create the required configuration and start using the new costing variant to measure the current cost of making vehicles.

Material costed, production order with no target cost

I've a case of production order and I don't where to find information to solve it.
I've a product A costed from March. Standard cost is correct.
I'm creating a production order now. The cost estimate is calculated during the delivery.
I've confirmed order by CO15. I've created a variance by deleting 2 items in bom of order. And confirm less than wanted on other component. But I don't think these variances are linked to my problem.
In CO02 and cost analysis : target cost of my product equals 0.
I've checked my prod cost variant and choices are : std price, L price from PIR, moving average price.
Thanks for your helps
Christophe

How can I see that ? I've checked that material cost has taken the bom during the cost explosion. Components are also costed.
I've noticed that target cost appears after variance calculation for product.

Costing Variant & Prod Cost Collector

I am in the scenario of period costing with a product collector. Please guide me on the following:
While configuring for costing/valuation variant, I find that we create a costing / valuation variant under 'Material cost estimate with Qty structure' and also under Cost object controlling - Product Cost Collector, 'Check costing variant for Product Cost Collector' & 'Check valuation variant for Product Cost collector'.
Do need to configure a costing variant and valuation variant under these paths, viz. under Standard Cost estimate with Qty Structure & also Product Cost collector ?
Please give your comments ASAP

Valuation using material cost estimate

Ciao a tutti,
We have create a material cost
estimate without standard structure(unit costing) not FOR ALL MATERIALS, but only for ONE
VARIANT of generic material (retail solution) (because the other variant have the same price, and because we have to reproduced 5000 BOM in unit cost for just
one variant with transaction KKPA LSMW)
So, now we have to valuated the material cost estimate when the customer create the billing document and put the split of the cost estimate in co-pa
Our prolem is : we have calculate standard cost estimate for 5000
variant not for all variant (because our customer crete the BOM in unit
costing with transaction KKPA and LSMW, and they refuced the idea to
calculate 30000 cost estimate with lsmw) so when we crete a billing
document with a variant that haven't cost estimate created the system doesn't
valuated the cost estimate (the system works well), but how I can change the variant in the valuation and put the variant that have the cost
estimate calculate?
Wiht the transaction "Assign Costing Keys to Any Characteristics" I think
is not possible.
I must to use enhance COPA0002?
Thank you very much

Hi All,
I am also facing the problem for Sales Order Cost Estimate. and the Costing Status is VO(Marked without errors).
I have done the following
created the Costing Key (sales order cost estimate)
assigned costing key to the material type.
assigned to the respective value fields
sales order cost estimate,
Run the RA
Settlement done.
But in COPA, cost estimates are not being split up based on the cost component (like Material, Labour and Over head) and it is getting posted to COGS only.
Do we need to change the costing status to FR, if yes, but how to do ?

Configurable material cost estimate

Hi All,
We have lot of configurable materials and some are finished materials and some are semi-finished.
If semi-finished configurable material used in Finished materials, Semi-finished configurable material costs is not roll up correctly for Finished material.
Only labor costs are rolling up and material costs not rolling up
Valuation variants material price is:valuation according to price control.
any help is appreciated...
Thanks,
Anusha

Hi,
In OKTZ have you tick on Roll up cost component against the Cost component of material .
This indicator determines whether the costing results of a cost component are rolled up into the next-highest

Raw Material Cost Estimate - No split between cost component

Dears,
I need to execute a material cost estimate considering the Purchasing Info Record (PIR) where 3 different conditions are present:
1) PB00
2) FRB1
3) RUC1
The scope is:
- linking PB00 to cost component 1
- linking FRB1 to cost component 2
- linking RUC1 to cost component 3
Cost components are already created.
I did following steps:
- creation PIR with these 3 conditions (transaction ME11)
PB00 10,00 EUR @ 1 KG
FRB1 2,00 EUR @ 1 KG
RUC1 3,00 EUR @ 1 KG
- link condition types to origin groups (transaction OKYO)
FRB1 linked to FRB1
RUC1 linked to RUC1
- link origin groups to cost component (transaction OKTZ)
PB00, is linked to cost component 1 without origin group, but using only account coming from T030 table
FRB1 is linked to cost component 2 using origin group FRB1 and the same acocunt used for condition PB00 coming from T030 table
RUC1 is linked to cost component 3 using origin group RUC1 and the same acocunt used for condition PB00 coming from T030 table
At this moment, when I try to execute the cost estimate with transaction CK11N, the split is not done, and all condition types (all amounts) are linked to cost component 1. The set-up done in OKYO is not considered by the system.
In the material master there's any origin group, if I try to fill in origin group FRB1 all condition types (all amounts) are linked to component 2, and if I try to change the origin group in the material master from FRB1 to RUC1, all condition types (all amounts) are linked to component 3 --> this means that the set-up done OKTZ is correctly considered by the system to link the origin group to the cost components.
The problem is that the system reads the origin group from the material master, instead of transaction OKYO.
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks and Regards,
Jody

Pl verify following two things -
Check valuation variant.
Strategy sequence should have 'L - Price from purchasing info-record' and Sub-strategy should be 'A Quotation price via condition table' or 'B PO price via condition table'.
OKYO setting should have valuation variant associated with your costing variant, along with other details (dont leave that field blank).
Let us know if that works.

Subodh

Material cost estimate report development

Hi All,
Customer need a report with belwo inputs
1.Plant
2. Material
3. MRP Controller
4. Costing Variant
5. Valid On
with M09 MRP controller with the output as -
where M09 is there it should not display the sub-materilas in it,for the remaining it is required.
all the data is coming from BOM( Bill of Material) and conversion cost is from routing.
please let me know how to caliculate the Conversion cost for materials ?
Base is ck13n &they r generating the report in ZCOSHT t.code
Can anyone tell me whether it is PP report or Costing report ?
please advice me asap.

Material cost estimate with Quantiy structure

Hello All,
Can anyone please help in the following problem. When we do material cost estimate with quantiy structure, system is throwing message as "source of supply cannot be determined".
Maximum points will be assigned to the suitable answer.
Thanks in advance.
Srinivas

Hi, Srini,
Please check in material master data whether this material is in-house produced or externally procured, which can be found in MRP view.
Please also check your costing variant and valuation variant for material cost estination, I think possibly you chose stratey L FROM Purchasing Info Record. If not, ignor it.
If it's externally procured, SAP logic is that firstly it will check the source list, then determine the quota arrangement and find proper vendor for the selected material. The error message is possibly caused by missing vendor or wrong quota reason. So please follow the SAP logic to check data one by one.
Please check the following link on vendor determination in online help document.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/7e/cb938143a311d189ee0000e81ddfac/frameset.htm
Please specify if you also used mixed costing for material.
Good luck!

Material Cost Estimate with different lot size.

What happens if the material cost estimate is run twice using different lot sizes each time (all other parameters unchanged) for the same period?
Will the cost estimate run later overwrites the results from cost estimate run earlier (though the lot size is different)? What is the role of lot size in a material cost estimate?

The costing lot size impacts your cost estimate if you have lot size independent costs (i.e. setup cost). Those fixed costs are spread over the costing lot sizee to give you a cost per unit.. Larger costing lot sizes can also help you minimize rounding issues.
You can only have one marked cost estimate in a given period. However, you can create and save a cost estimate as many times as you want as long as you have not marked it for release. When you save the estimate it will overwrite an existing estimate. You also have the option of creating multiple estimates under different versions or with different costing variants.

Valuation with material cost estimate: error with product "117122"

Hi people,
We have the error:
=====================
Valuation with material cost estimate: error with product "117122"
Diagnosis
In Profitability Analysis (CO-PA), the system tried to valuate a line item using the current standard cost estimate.
In order to determine the current plan period, the system needs to read the valuation segment of the material master.
The system has found that the current plan period is not filled forproduct "117122" in plant "UBE1".
We have the follow configuration in trans.: KE40:
. Determine material cost estimate
   . Transf. Standard Cost Estimate
. Costing Variant
. Control Data for Standard Cost Estimate
   . Period Indicator = "Current Standard Cost Estimate acc. to entry in mat master
. Addiitonal data CO-PC
    . Transfer cost estimate in controlling area currency "activated"
We think the reason about our error is because the field above is activated and some configuration more is necessary for this case. For examplo: Trans.: OKYW and this one was not configurated yet.
Do you know what happend?
If we need to configure some transation, or sonly process the cost estimate?
Thanks,
Rosana.

Hello Guido
Thank you very much for your return.
It is happenning in a Client that some people are doing the configuration.
Before we didin't have in KE40, the fiel "Transfer cost estimate in controlling area currency" activated.
And now, the people activate that in this new Client and I don't know the impact about that.
I think we have to make the configuration in OKYW.
The other transation you told me, we don't have any information.
Could you tell me some other idea what happend?
Message error is just "Message no. KE350"
Abou claculate the cost:
It was calculated by trans.: CK11N for future planning and the real wasn't not possible to release because this material already have moviments.
Could you tell us is there is some thing more to do?
Thanks,
Rosana.

Valuation with material cost estimate: error with product " 200038 "

Hi,
I am getting an error:
Valuation with material cost estimate: error with product " 200038 " (Message KE350).
Kindly assist on the same?

If this material is mto material go to t.code KE40 and maintain define access to standard cost estimate define cost key with
"Transfer sales orde cost estimatex".
If it is mts material define costing key with Transfer std cost estimate and in costing data
costing variant : ppc1
costing verstion: 1
period indicator: Release std cost estimate matching with goods issue or material costing matching posting date.
This will resolve ur problem.

How to keep the overall sales price same after basic material cost changes

We have a below requirement from clientu2026
Sales Order with quantity 100 created. Letu2019s say the Basic material cost is $10 each and after the pricing procedure of SD (i.e taking condition types etc in account) overall sales order price came to $1200 .
After sales order creation material cost has changed to $12 each. Now if the same sales order line item is split to 80 and 20, we still want the overall sales order price ( i.e taking both the line items of 80 and 20) to be $1200 .
Is it possible to achieve the above requirement? If yes, pls share the possible solution.

1) Letu2019s say the Basic material cost is $10 each
2) overall sales order price came to $1200 .
3) we still want the overall sales order price ( i.e taking both the
line items of 80 and 20) to be $1200 .
I think you are confused over material cost and selling price. From SD perspective, whatever you maintain in VK11 for your pricing condition type (PR00), that will fetch into your sale order. This means, I presume, you have maintained in VK11 for the given material as USD 1200 and this will only fetch into your sale order. Cost will vary automatically depending upon the material valuation type and you need not bother about this
thanks

Unit costing for materials assigned to activity - for material cost plannin

The requirement is that material cost to the company will vary depending upon the project/customer. Eg.: Material cost = basic material cost + a % for P&F + 2 % for Clearance + a % for excise + 2 % for insurance + a % for Customs
It can be a % or a lump-sum value. It can be all the components listed or part of them. This will be project specific.
Hence the following preference for material cost planning is required:
1. Material cost based on quotation or Purchase order - If quote/PO is not available, then
2.Material cost based on unit costing done for the material in the project - If this is not available, then
3. material cost from material master depending on price indicator i.e. Std cost or Moving average price
We are working with valuated project stock.
SAP Help says"
"Prices are calculated in one of the following ways:
u2022     Using the strategy in the valuation variant
u2022     Manually, using the invoicing plan
u2022     Using unit costing"
But how to get the cost as per the priority required when these three options are there is not clear.
I have tried to work with valuation variant in the costing variant assigned to Network. No valuation strategy explicitly refers to unit costing of material.
During various testings, at times, unit costing of material gets updated as planned cost; at times not. What triggers in also not clear.
Pl. clarify
Thanks and regards

Hi All
I have psoted to service market place and got the reply; we have implemented also.
there were 2 suggestiosn:
1. Valuation price with user exit - (EXIT_SAPLCK21_002) - This user exit has to be implemented; we have implemented - it is working. But this is taking effect when overhead calculation is done - this we rae managing that way now
2. Alternatively you can try to use BAdI VALUATION_CK.: This BADI is not editable by us now; SAP has not released for our editing!
The problem is solved although
There is one more clarification required:
As SAP Help documentation: -> Unit costing is used instead of strategy sequence, but not in between steps of strategy.
How to get this done ? right now we are using the strategy - inbetween steps of strategy with user exit
Thanks and regards
