Material Cost Transaction Worker in Warning

Hi Guys
I'm trying to do, what I thought was the simplest costing transaction.
I create one item. I create a PO. Do a receipt. And now I want to do the cost accounting (STD Costing) for this transaction.
I have frozen costs against the item. The cost update seems to have run succesfully. I have a record in the MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS table. Whenever the Materiel Cost Transaction Worker program is run, it ends in warning stating that it couldn't cost the transaction. "Failed costing at id = xxx". I enabled the MRP: Debug but get no more useful info. In the material transactions table I see the following:
"ORA-20100: File o0003155.tmp creation for FND_FILE failed.
You will fi
badsql:Ovhd_Acct( 1 ): ORA-20100: File o0003155.tmp creation for FND_FILE failed.
You will fi""
I have no idea what this can be. I run it on WINXP. 11.5.10.2. There's discspace etc.
Maybe I'm missing config. I use E-business suite licencing. I did, GL, PO, INV and some costing setup. Can someone please tell me, how to resolve the FND_FILE issue, or how to get better debug info, or what the minimum config would be to get the most simple standard costing accounting out of the system.
Thanks!

Found the issue. In FND_TEMP_FILES table I saw that the system tried to create files in a directory that doesn't exist on my system. I still don't know why it tried to create it there, but after creating the directory the job finished.

Migration of Cost Transaction Work In Progress Values into the Projects

Hi,
Can anyone kindly help me out in the approach to adopt for the Open Work in progress value migration into the projects applications of Oracle Applications.
Thanks in Advance,
Lavanya
Edited by: Lavan ya on Nov 15, 2009 12:54 AM

Hi
The migration strategy depends on the way the company will for forward with its accounting procedure.
I assume the project is incurring costs as work occurs, and supplier invoices are entered. At the end of the period the company need to move the value of costs which has not matched to the period revenue into a GL account representing the Work in Progress. If the model is calculating the figures on the marginal period, and not accumulated ITD amount, then your approach may be valid.
The question regarding converting the project invoices (sent to customer) also depends on the method you accrue revenue. If Revenue and Invoice is always taken on the same time for the same value, you don't need to maintain UBR&UER balances. However, if those are generated separately, you might need to convert into Projects also the old revenue and old invoiced amount per project.
Converting historic data also depends on the requirements for future reporting. If you only convert the balance of WIP, you might be missing information for reporting actual cost versus cost budgets, etc.

View labor and material costs in plant maintenance work order

Hi
I am aware we can bring in the costs in the work order through Activity types and assigning the costs to the acitvity type.
Is there anyway we can bring in the actual cost for the work performed by the associate? should we link the work center to HRMS?
Please advise. I need your valuable input for all the points below.
Main points that need to be addressed:
1. Each associate that is capable of confirming hours to a work order needs to be assigned an hourly rate that is reflective of the actual cost for the work performed by this associate. These hours are then tracked through the work order to give a cost for labor assigned to that particular job.
2.Any materials used in the performance of the required task(s) dictated by the work order will be assigned to that order. These materials can be assigned through SAP purchase requisitions, tool crib spot buys, or procurement with a purchase card.
3.Standard reports need to be created so we can track the total maintenance costs for any level of the equipment hierarchy as currently set up in SAP. When this report is created it should show the total maintenace costs for all the levels of the equipment hierarchy broken down into labor cost and material cost. I am using Tcode IW37N and IW40 . Is there any suggestion?

Greetings Chandra,
1) You will need to create Work Centres for your associates and create the Activity Types. You can default the Activity Type for each Work Centre and maintain the rate for the activity via t-code KP26 planning.
2) Planned and unplanned Purchase Requisitions for Components with category N will debit the order with material costs. But what do you mean by "tool crib spot buys" and "procurement with a purchase card"? You may need to develop a solution to do such postings to the Order (or for purposes of Cost controlling, manual activity allocation similar to confirming work may be desired such as Manual Activity Allocations via CO transactions (KB21N), unless you can cover that with Purchase Requisitions and POs with "F Order" account assignment.
3) MCI8 Cost Report should be suitable for you, once you set up the Value Categories & Cost Key Figures.

Material cost charge to Production Order from Cost Center / Work Center.

In Production Order Environment, is it possible that goods are issued from Storage location to Cost Center / Work Center, and in turn charged to Production Orders.
Scenario. Transformer Manufacturing.
Production Order size : 100 Units
Steel (Kgs) per Transformer : 3 Kgs
Total Steel required for Production Order: 300 Kgs (100x3)
In the process of manufacturing of a Transformer Steel or Core winding is the first process step.
Even though the Steel required for above said Production Order is 300 Kgs, the minimum issuable lot size from stores is 2000 Kgs.
Is it possible in SAP ECC 6.0 that the Steel of 2000 Kgs is issued to a Cost Center / Work Center, and later charged to production order based on actual Consumption in the said Cost Center / Work Center.
Regards, Replies and Sugestions shall be appreciated
Madhu

Thank you for the reply,
However, the scenario that i had in mind was a bit different from what you had conceptualized.
Scenario - These transformers are basically for loading on to Inverters & UPS, The max weight of the transformer range from 15-30 Kgs. and they dont have an external casing of steel as seen on Indian Electricity Board transformers. Multiple production orders are processed at a single time in the Plant as per Customer specifications.
The general process followed for manufacture is as follows:
1. Core Winding u2013 This process takes place in the core winding department. Steel reels are loaded on to Winders and individual cores of approx 5 u2013 30 Cm Diameter are produced. (Multiple reels of Steel are stacked one on top of the other onto a pallet.) Usually issue of steel from stores happens pallet wise. The pallets of steel generally weigh in excess of 2 tons.
In the present situation (Non SAP Environment) the entire pallet of Steel is issued to the Core winding department and later the Output is charged to multiple Production Orders, based on the records of the Core winding dept. Since in general the steel content in the FG ranges from 3- 25 Kgs multiple Production Orders can be catered to from one Pallet of Steel.
2. Core Laithing. The wound cores are laithed so as to make the sides smooth.
3. Core Annealing u2013 Heat treatment process.
4. Core Insulation. u2013 Insulation of the annealed cores with insulating material.
5. Primary Winding. u2013 Copper is wound as per the BOM Specification. The issue like that of Steel also arises in the Copper winding process. Here also the Cooper comes in Spools which far exceed the requirement for any Production Order. The minimum issueable lot for Copper from Stores is one Spool. The current practice followed is that the Cooper is taken in the name of the Copper winding department and later charged to individual Production Orders.
6. Primary Soldering.
7. Mid Insulation.
8. Secondary Winding
9. Secondary Soldering
10. Shielding
11. Final Insulation u2013 Same issue with insulation too, since the insulating material comes in rolls.
12. Testing.
13. Potting & Drilling - Process of pouring a chemical compound in the center of the transformer, which helps the transformer to later be loaded on an Inverter. The same issue with like of Steel, Copper & Insulation arises here too, since the chemical compound comes in big containers capable of meeting production requirement for a week.
14. Packing
15. Transfer to FG Inventory.
One of the suggestions was to issue the entire 2000 Kgs to the Production Order and then return 1700 kgs after completion of the Production Order based on actual usage. However, in my opinion this option might not be practicable because, assuming that I get another / multiple Production orders in between the issue of 2000 Kgs and return of 1700 Kgs, issue to the new Production order will not be possible if the stock in stores was only 2000 Kgs initially. In case assuming that the material is available in stores for the next production order, the situation could worsen in case of receipt of multiple production orders.
Hope, I have explained the scenario & issue being faced.

Madhu

Component material costing (Unit of Measure conversion) is not working at S

Hi,
Unit of Measure conversion factor (Value) is not working for component materials at Sales order level costing, but the same conversion factor is working fine at Standard cost estimation level.
Example:
Conversion Factor for Raw materials (Procurement in Tones, Consumption in Each)
1 Ton (Rs.1000) = 10 Each (per Each u2013 Rs.100)
For Manufacturing of 1 pc FG is required 1 each Raw material
Issue: At sales Order level - Raw material costing is calculated at u201CTonu201D price u2013 Rs.1000 instead of u201CEachu201D price u2013 Rs.100.
Regards
Nagesh

Hi,
Pricing (unit conversion) is done different for MM and SD process.
MM has decided to use the old process which determines the values out of T006. There you have the conversion factors which are used in PO. If you create a sales order or billing document the determination will be different as the material master will be read.

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 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 ?

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 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.

Excise Value to Upload in Material Cost.

Hi Guru's
Our requirement is to add all the excise value to material cost. For that we have created new pricing procedure and it works ok as far as basic and education cess loading into material but this does not work for Higher Education Cess. Apart from loading into material cost it also takes the amount in modvat clearing account.
Please guide us so that the Higher education cess amount does not hit into modvat clearing account but to behave same as basic or education cess.
Our tax procedure is formula based (TAXINJ)
Regards
Maninder

Hi,
Check your H.EduCess condition type in following path ,where we specify which condition type is used for which sort of tax
SPRO --> Logistics general > tax on Goods Movements>India > Condition-Based Excise Determination>Classify Condition Types
Also check G/L account for excise transaction.
SPRO --> Logistics general --> tax on Goods Movements --> India --> Account determination --> Specify G/L Accounts per Excise Transaction

Check material cost when post goods issue

Hi,
When i click the post goods issue in VL02N, I would like to check if the cost of mateial is equal to zero. If it is zero, I would like to stop the transaction with a error message.
But in the user exit, I cannot find which field provide the material cost. Can any one help me?
Many Thanks
Jean

Dear Jean,
Good morning and greetings,
In the movement type config make the accounting as mandatory and would surely meet your requirement. Maintain that in the transaction code OMJJ for the Accounting Control to Movement Type as + which is required entry. The system would throw an error if no accounting entry is generated.
Hope this meets your requirement
Please reward points if found useful.
Thanking you
With kindest regards

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

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.
