Material cost estimate can't be released

Hello Experts
I've already handled with necessary steps including CK11N (create cost estimate), CK24(Mark and release), but it failed to be released although the cost estimate has been updated into 'Future' sheet in material master. It seems like the issue resulted during cost estimate creation, there is message existing in log. the message is described as 'No structure could be determined for internal activity ATL-00(CC530-00)'.
Could anyone please kindly advise me which customizing is needed to be done to solve this issue?
B.R.

Hi,
Please check whether this activity costs have been assigned to the cost component structure in 'OKTZ'.
Good Luck!!!
Thanks and Regards,

Material Cost estimate realted issue and question

Hello,
we have a multi level BOM, I have makre and released for one sub level material in the BOM, there are few other sub- materils which need to be costed, can i do the cost estimate for the highest level of BOM or do i need to do first for each sub- component in the BOM, also for the one sum- companent wchi is realesed can that be changed.
please let me know.

Hi
Both are in one way the same.
Material cost estimate can be calculated as
1. Material with quantity structure
2. Material without quantity structure
You can get more insight into it at the following link

Error reading material cost estimate for sales order (KE292)

Dear All,
I have an issue with billing. we are posting july month transactions, the material cost is maintained through MR21. When releasing billing document for accounting we are getting error message like"Error reading the material cost estimate for sales order "11"
Message no. KE292
Diagnosis
In Profitability Analysis (CO-PA), the system tried to valuate item 000010 of sales order 11 by reading the corresponding product cost estimate.
However, no product cost estimate could be found for this sales order item.
The system accessed product costing for product AMLFP011011XX00P using costing key YB3 as defined in the
CO-PA Customizing settings.
System Response
The system cannot process the document any further.
Procedure
Check your Customizing settings."
We cross checked with other client as a current date and we ran cost estimate through CK40N with same material. and we posted entries. Here it is working fine. but in above process it is not working. Can you pls guide me where i missed.
Regards,
Nagaraju,

Hi,
When the Costing Key is assigned to the material types in the COPA customizing, then system expects Cost estimation when billing is released to Accounts.
If you dont run cost estimation but update the material master through MR21, system will not accept as in the Costing key configuration you must have selected the Current Standard price field for the valuation.
Hence, try to run cost estimation and then do releasing.
Thanks & Regards

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.

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.

Raw material cost estimates

HI experts,
Currently we have the following scenario:
There are some raw materials which are procured externally, and these materials are maintained with price control S
Well, the problem is that the standard cost for the material consists of a few more components, for example:
The standard price for the material X is 20 USD which consists of:
- the price of the material itself : 15 USD
- the import duty : 5 USD
let's say if the actual import duty happened during IR is 6 USD, how can we get the variance from the difference between the import duty? I am unfamiliar with raw material cost estimate, but seeing that the import duty will be captured using condition type in PO, i assumed that we can use raw material cost estimates with this, and use the COPA report with record type B for this case.
Could anyone give any suggestions regarding this case? It is better if it comes with step to step guide.
Thank you very much in advance
Regards,
Erwin

Hi Erwin
1. The ideal design would have been Price Control V if the material is outright purchased... There by not leaving any scope for variances... You would agree that it is best to valuate inventory @ actuals as far as possible
2. If you want to retain S, then release your Std cost as many times as the Base Price of 15 or Import duty of 5 usd changes... This will also avoid variances during MIGO.. However, it will throw up inventory revaluation figure each time u release new cost estimate
Else, the variances will be updated to CO or COPA as per your choice in OKB9.... The record type will be B
Are you not able to update variance to COPA?

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 ?

Error - Material cost estimate with quantity structure

Hello Gurus!
Can anyone please help with the following problem:
Im trying to do the material cost estimate with quantity structure, but the system is throwing back the message " There is no exchange rate for exchange rate type P on 1.01.2008: CHF -> EUR".
This happens because I have a subcontratation in my routing in CHF, and in transaction OB08, and I dont had defined that rate (type P CHF EUR).
I need to know if there is any solution to the system assumes other Type of Exchange Rate (the last real exchange rate that I have introduced in my system, not the planned!)
Points will be assigned to the suitable answer.
Thanks in advance.
Mary Jane

Hi Sridhar
Thanks for your reply.
In OKEQ for the version 0, I have the rate type M.
I don't understand why the system throwing back the message " There is no exchange rate for exchange rate type P on 1.01.2008: CHF -> EUR".!
Do you know why?
Thanks and regards

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

Cost center doubt in Itemization of Material Cost Estimate

Hi,
I have one doubt. I creating a material cost estimate of a header material.A new overhead rate ZCDD has been maintained in the costing sheet. An existing crdit key ZC9 has been assigned to the overhead rate ZCDD. The cost element and cost center row has been added in the credit key.
When I run the material cost estimate, the cost element it is coming, but the cost center it is picking is not the one which has been maintained in the credit key.
Can you please clarify my doubt, I am stuck up on this. Please let me know if you need any more information roe clarifications.
Thank you very much.
Prithwiraj.

Hi Rau,
Thanks for the reply.
Can u tell me, is it mandatory to have only one to one Cost Center-Cost element mapping in a Credit Key?
I mean to say is it like that we can assign a cost element of a credit key only to one cost center?
Thanks,
Prithwiraj.

Material cost estimate with quantity struchture : problem

while running the costing transaction CK11N , the word u201Croutingu201D is not appearing under the explanation facilities.
rate routing is already available
what will be the reason and solution.

Hi,
There is a standard report you can use - S_P99_41000111 - Analyze/Compare Material Cost Estimates .
With this report, you can report the standard cost estimates for a range of materials.
Good Luck!!! Assign points if this was a useful input to you.

Material Cost Estimate with Quantity Structure (How to download)

Is there a standard report or feature available in SAP to download the material cost estimate with quantity structure?
Currently we have to print screen and it is very tedious and can't do analysis with those screenshots.
Please advice.

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!

Split Valuation Material Cost Estimate into COPA

Hi all,
Is there any way how we can transfer the split valuation material cost estimate into COPA?
I checked the actual line items, there is no "valuation type / batch" characteristics there.
Is this the main cause?
Please kindly suggest on the best way to solve this issue
Thank you very much
Regards, Erwin

Hi, Ajay
Does this mean that, even though i manage to create the valuation type as characteristic in COPA, i won't be able to get 2 different cost estimate based on valuation type into COPA?
Hm, then, are there any solutions which can be done to solve this issue?
The client needs a COPA report which can show the breakdown of the sold materials cost estimates
As usual, thank you very much for your help
Regards, Erwin
