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

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?

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

Valuation with material cost estimate: error with product

Hi Experts,
Message no. KE350, Valuation with material cost estimate: error with product "2286940000". Please suggest me to resolve this issue.
Points will be provided for good solution.
Regards,
Jay

Hi Jaya
This means that your customization is wrong then...
In KE4J or KEPC you have assigned costing keys to your material types or some other combination... You should have done this config in a way that costing key is not called for in the case of non valuated materials...
In Ke40 you have defined costing key where in you have specified "Issue error msg if no cost estimate found".. This costing key is assigned in KE4J or KEPC in a way that it is getting called even in case of non valuated materials...
Do you have a separate mat type for non valuated material? If yes, remove this mat type from KE4J/KEPC..
If you dont have separate mat type i.e. in the same mat type if you have both valuated and non valuated, then you have a problem.. You would get stuck in that case

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.
Nicole

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 with quantity structure (tcode: CK11N)

Hey dear friends.
I donu2019t know in which forum I should put my question above.
In fact, Iu2019m new to SAP PM module.
Iu2019m trying to create material cost estimate with quantity structure (tcode: CK11N) for a material u201CXu201D.
This material is manufactured.
While running the transaction CK11N, I got an error message.
After analyzing this error message, Iu2019ve realised that somebody had assigned wrong activity types to cost centers which are linked to this material in tcode: CR03, tab: costing.
So Iu2019ve changed and assigned the right activity types.
Then, Iu2019ve tried to run the tcode CK11N again. But the system still brings the wrong activity types and seems to ignore the ones that Iu2019ve assignedu2026
It seems like the old activity types still linked to the cost centers somewhere else than in tcode CR03u2026
Any idea about what am I mising ?
Thank's in advance.
Bahia.

Dear Bahia,
If its rate routing means,i guess you must be working in REM scenario.
So goto CA22,delete the existing operation and then assign the same work center in a new
operation,check what activity types is it proposing in the rate routing,if its reflecting correctly means
save the datas.
Also goto KKF6N--->click the change mode icon and then calculator button to create a preliminary cost
estimate and then save the datas.
One of our forum friend has asked you to check the production order read PP master data once
again,but understand there is no production order concept in REM scenario,only planned orders.
Then come back with your queries.

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 " 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 SAP use transfer control or material cost estimate

Hello!
I have strategy "3-Previous standard cost estimate" in transfer control material cost estimate.
I have cost estimate for product AAA with status KA and costing date from 01.01.2014.
Product AAA produced from component BBB.
Component BBB has two cost estimates with costing date from 01.01.2014 and 01.02.2014.
I run cost estimate for product AAA with costing date from 06.03.2014.
Cost estimate not use existing cost estimate for component and create new cost estimate.
In help.sap.com contains next information about transfer strategy 3 - The system searches for existing previous cost estimate.
why my system does not use the existing cost estimate for component?
Thanks for attention.

Thanks, Szymon!
I use russian interface and read russian help. Where stragegy 3 has name "Прошедшая плановая калькуляция" which means "The last planned cost estimate".
This led me astray.
In english help i read next:
Previous standard cost estimates
The system searches for an existing previous standard cost estimate.
You are completely right!
two more questions:
- We can not use strategy 3 if we not realesed cost estimate as standard price?
- What strategy we should use for transfer material cost estimate with status KA?
Thanks

Report for Material Cost Estimate

Hi Everyone,
Is there any way that I could download a report from the SAP showing all the material cost estimates? Hope someone could help me. When I try using CK11n, there is no tab there for report downloads and it only shows one material.
Thank you in advance
Jahziel

Dear Jahziel,
In standard SAP the following reports are available:
T Code : CK84_99 : COST_ELEMENT - Cost Elements
CK80_99 - Cost Components
CK84_99 - Itemization
These reports will provide you the information at individual material level.

Re: create material cost estimate with ck11n without

hi gurus,
i need to do create material cost estimate with ck11n without cost result but before i need to check the BOM with material component 11111, and also instruct me how to correct maintain BOM list to get the standard cost
if anybody do the same scenoria giveme your golden inputs
thanks in advance,

Hi,
As note 351835 explains, calculation needs an inforecord to calculate prices from purchasing. Prices from outline agreements are generally not taken into account. According to note 499699, the system may consider entries in the source but it will ignore entered agreements (before this correction, any source list entries with agreement were ignored).
Prices from agreements could only be considered either via a modification or by using the user exit for material valuation (COPCP005).
This unfortuntely is a restriction resulting as a side-effect from note 499699. As soon as an agreement is entered in the source list, the fixed indicator will not be considered anymore.
You therefore have two options to overcome this.
1) You create a second source list entry without an agreement; then the fix indicator will be reflected; report Z_CREATE_EORD from note 409960 could be used to do this automatically
2) You are using user-exit EXIT_SAPLMEQR_001 in order to 'overrule' the standard search for source of supply (enhancement LMEQR001)

Waman

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 ?

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.
