Material Ledger Cost Blow Up

Hai Friends,
I want to get the rate of a child materials to produce a parent material. The values are in the ckm3
T-Code. But I dont know how the values are arrived.
Kindly Help Me to get the complete values to produce a parent material. The values of child materials.

Hi Mani,
In Material Ledger, when you see the Price Analysis in CKM3, it is Periodic Unit Price.
Bacause the raw materials are alos maintained with Price Indicator "S" if the ML is active (Price Determination "3"), the system will calculate the Periodic Unit Price after considering the Price Differences. (Ex. Std Price in Mat Master is 50/-, invoice posted at Rs.55/-)
Hope you got it, if not, pls explain in detail what you are looking for...

Material Ledger : Cost component split different in CO PC and ML

Hello SAP People,
In ML cost component split I don't have the same split that in CK13N COPC.
History
We changed the cost component structure in OKTZ, because we wanted to split on two different cost component the cost of Copper :
-     Copper
-     Primes :Premium cost (transformation cost for producer) on copper.
In CK11N the split is OK and we can read the new cost element corresponding to premium cost.
To split the costing tool goes on the purchase info records to read condition type that are different for copper and premium.
The problem we have is that when we run Material ledger we are not able to see after a good receipt a similar split in the cost component view.
We already run MLCCS_RESET and MLCCS_Startup programs this month and created new Raw material after. But it seems the ML do not take care of this and all the actual cost (I stop to single level) are on the copper cost component and there is nothing on Premium cost component.
We just run single level on ML for current month.
Could you please help me to explain why we are not able to obtain the correct split between Copper and u201CPrimesu201D

Hi Marco,
yes, these both are independent from each other. You will have no issue when these are different.
It is very typical that you want to report different kind of information for activities as for materials.
A typical setup might be
Activity                                   Material
Asset depreciation                   Raw Material Cost
Room cost                               Energy
Labour                                     Production Cost
labour overhead                      Production Overhead
Electricity                                 Packaging
When you use the activity for the production of a material (confirmation CO15) the assignment goes normally to a single cost component in the material, above for example into production cost. This is controlled by the cost element. Only when the primary cost component split is activated and a transfer structure betweeen both is maintained you could achieve
Asset depeciation, Room Cost, Labour overhead -> Production overhead
Labour -> Production Cost
Electricity -> Energy

Material Ledger: Cost Component Split (Elements) table CKMLKEPH

Hi All,
Whats the use of this table, what information get updated in this table while creating invoice.
Message was edited by:
Alexander

Hi Alexander,
CKMLKEPH belongs to material ledgers actual cost component split database:
Differences from Actual Costs to Standard Price
Entries per material, update, cost element structure, kind of difference and level
Created per any update where occur differences
so if ML is active with actual CCS and your invoice has a price diference than CKMLKEPH will store the split of the price difference posting.
it is related to CKMLKEV.
this note gives some further links

Difference between normal Costing run and Costing run in Material Ledger

Hi everybody,
I have a question i wanted to know why we implement Material Ledger .
If material ledger is for settling variances on material then that is also possible without material ledger
Please clear the doubt what is different in ML as compared to normal costing run
thanks in advance
Regards
Deepa

Costing run is to calculate the std cost estimate of materials and Material Ledger costing run is to calculate Actual cost of production of materials.

Material ledger configuration documentation

Dear Gurus,
Pls provide the Material ledger configuration document. We are in emergency. Pls any body help me out.
Thanks in advance.

Hi ,
The Material Ledger(ML) is a tool within the CO Module that collects all transactional data for materials whose master data is stored in the material master. It acts as a subledger for selected materials that captures all goods movements, invoice values, transfers and price changes. On the basis of this data, the material ledger calculates and maintains the actual cost for these materials. This actual cost can then be utilized to valuate the material stock accounts.
Functions of Material Ledger:
-     Cost accounting using actual prices.
-     Storing values of stock in three different valuations (legal valuation, group valuation for reporting purposes, and profit center valuation) in multiple currencies.
   If you need any furthr docs let me know ..i will send docs ,,

Revaluating COPA COGS with Material Ledger values (KE27-B0 curr type)

While attempting to use transaction KE27 to revaluate COPA with material ledger's cost component structure, we are getting an error for the B0 (Operating Concern Currency) records. The error (KE 435) states that "Costing Key ML1 does not exist". I have defined this costing key and it appears to be working for the Company Code (curr type 10) currency records. Does anyone have any idea why I am unable to restate the Operating Concern Currency records?

Hi Thomas,
The system posts the difference between the original values of the line
item and the new values in a new, separate line item, but in the same
value fields. To avoid the error message KE435 you have to define for
the costing key a value field for actual costs for your operating
concern in customizing :
Profitability Analysis -> Master Data -> Valuation ->
Set Up Valuation Using Material Cost Estimate ->
Define Access to Actual Costing/Material Ledger ->
Costing Key for actual Cost Estimate ->
Val.Fld Allocatn for Periodic Moving Average Price (total cost)
That is necessary even though you defined already value fields in
Cost component structure (cost component split) in customizing :
Profitability Analysis -> Master Data -> Valuation ->
Assign Value Fields (transaction KE4R)
The program expects both entries, one for cost component total cost
and several for cost component split. If there is a cost component
split defined for material the valuation will distribute the share of
costs to the value fields according the definition.
Only for material without a cost component split the program will
assign the costs to the value field for total costs.

Abhisek

Issue with Standard Cost estimates / Material Ledger

Background:
We have been using SAP for the last 5 years with Material Ledger active. Due to a number of reasons, we have not revised its standard cost estimates from 2001 till now. This means that at month end, we do not mark and release prices as recommended, nor do we mark prices and use dynamic release.
What Happened:
A new material called PFSW3 was made. This is a FERT. Before production
could start my team released the standard cost estimate for this material. Production was now able to proceed without problem. Then, when the time came to sell the material (VF02), SAP again raised the error 'cost estimate not found'. On checking the standard price in MM03, we discovered that the future cost estimate was missing. So we created and marked a new cost estimate in the middle of February 2007.
Problem:
When the first sale took place, SAP released the marked cost estimate and posted a Price Change document to adjust for the new standard cost. I understand this was due to dynamic release. Now, when month end came, the system settled all the production orders of material PFSW3 but did not do multi level costing on it.
Internal Investigation:
My team has determined that the material PFSW3 has price determination 2 set by mistake. All our other production materials (HALB and FERT) are
set to price determination 3 in the material master (accounting view).
Questions:
To sum this situation up,
we need to know why the material PFSW3 was not marked closed in its period status (CKM3) at the time of closing through CKMLCP?
What are the implications of not closing this material in Feb 2007 (current period status is showing 'Quantities and values entered')?
How can we close this material this month?
The future cost estimate is again missing for PFSW3 in March 2007 and I
fear we are going to face more problems as this material is sold to customers.
Please respond this is an urgent issue.

Dear Shumyl,
Please, have a look at Note 645083 - Material period status set to "Closing Entry Completed" that might help to closing your material in previous period.
Hope it will be useful.
Regards,
Flaviano.

Cost of goods manufactured vs COGS+ Material ledger

Hi Experts,
My company is implenting Material Ledger. They want to see the actual cost of goods manufactured. We are able to develop the actual cost of goods sold in COPA. The required report is to show:
1- Direct material used at standard + variances (price + usage) to give the actual.
2- Direct labor (standard + variances = Actual)
3- Manufacturing overhead ( standard + variances = Actual)
Attached excel file is showing the requirement.
Your guidance to develop this report by any means (Report painter, BI, other).
Regards
Ahmed Zain Hassan

Hi Ahmed / Ajay.
1. In order reports KKO0, you dont see the revaluation of ML, as you said Consumption and Activities are revaluated at Material level, and as far as i know, theres no way to add records that represent the revaluation.
2. The easy way to have a Order Report revaluated at actual cost is with LIS(Logistic InfoSys), creating a Z infostructure (eg copy lis S027) that store consumption and activity QTY, and a user exit that read the actual cost of consumed materials (depending if this is V, S2, S3) and activities and revaluate. In LIS, there are standard way to "re-post" or repopulate the infostructures. This LIS can be reported with the standard functions (ReportPainter, quers on SQ01), or create a Z tcode that show the info stored in the way you want. Problem: Not all know how to customize LIS, and also you need code in the exit.
3. In my country (Peru), there are lots of companies that develop a Z Kardex valuated at actual cost (because, is a legal requirement), and also create Zprograms that calculate the order at actual cost (indeed, i create this reports twice). Its a bit complex, but not impossible and depends on custo EG if you have multiple valuations, you need to write code in order to get the infor for this specific valuations.
4. About COPA, you can post to copa the Actual Cost Component Split calculated by ML. In this CCS, you can identify the Labor, Direct Materials, and overheads. You have 2 options, You can post the delta to the original field or have an aditional field that store the difference. This stuff is done in KE27, i see 1 example in the SCN (i guess i bookmarked). Its important to understand you dont have the detail of the delta per consumed material, just an agregated value.
Here is the link
http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPFI/KE27+Periodic+Valuation
5. There is a new ML DrillDown report functionality. Indeed, i couldnt spend time analizing the solution (my test system is with EHP5 and dont plant to upload the OSS), but i guess this is the future. You can look for info with tcode KKML0 in the marketplace, also check this oss 1639462 - ERP accelerators: enhancements in ML drilldown reporting
My questions:
What you want?
+ Order Report, i mean Cost detaild per Order? The Actual CCS por order?
+ Material Report? I mean, the monthly average of a Fert, and its CCS ?
+ a PA Report, that show Sales (Incomes), and Costs per matiral , split by Direct, Labor and OverHead?

Material Ledger,Revaluation Production Cost Center ,Standard Cost

Hi, I have a problem with revaluation of production cost centers.
Firstly, production cost center expenses are settled via activity types onto the production order at the end of the period. However, CKMLCP revaluate cost centers after the settlement because of using standard price. So cost centers at the end of the period have some amount.
As a result we can not find actual price for production orders.
If I use standard cost in order to consume on cost centers, material ledger revaluates again this cost centers. I dont want this condition. Because this cost center is settled to other cost object before closing.
Thanks.

Hi
Go to the following path in SPRO:
Controlling -> Product Cost Controlling -> Actual Costing/Material Ledger -> Actual Costing -> Activate Actual Costing. Double-click on "Actiavte Actual Costing" and change the indicator from "2" to "1".

Group and legal costs without Material Ledger

I was wondering is there a way we could have both the group cost and the legal cost in the system without having to configure material ledger. Currently we have Group cost in the system and no legal cost.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi NIK83,
There is no other way to have multiple valuations w/o having ML in SAP
ML is the only solution... If you want to upload the legal values, you can use the tax price or commercial price fields and take out a report comparing the 2 values using T code MRN9
but, you will have to uplaod these values.. these cant be calculated w/o ML

Material Ledger Actual costing - fully costed BOMs and variance type split

We are in the process of activating material ledger and have 2 user
requirements that we have not yet been able to complete. First, the
difference between standard cost and weighted average cost needs to be
split between the variance types (raw material purchase price, raw
material usage, packaging price, packaging usage, etc.). Secondly we
need a fully exploded cost itemization that supports the weighted
average cost, similar to the costing structure pane in transaction
ck13n.
Do you know of any custom developement that might assist us in these
requirements, or have any information that might help us develop a
process to calculate these values ourselves.
Thanks

Material Ledger Active - K088 Settlement doesnt use Actual Cost Comp Split

Production Order quantities are all scrap (in confirmation) thus order balance contains Consumed Materials and Activity Allocation
When KO88 Settlement is run, the system uses Standard Cost Component Split to allocate the residual to Cost Components instead of the Actual Cost Component Split
When we run the flow trace, the message says:
"Splitting according to output material S-Price CCS"
Expectation was that costs would flow according to Actual Cost Component split.
There is note 756167 - This note activates the update of the actual cost component split information in the material ledger document when you perform the order settlements.
However current release is 604, so its expected that this is already applied.
Any help or insight on how to settle using Actual Cost Component split is appreciated.

The second option you mentioned of using separate value field for transferring the standard cost component split from the actual cost component split is the way SAP designed this integration between CO-PA and the Material Ledger. But 40 value field for cost component split is excessive. CO-PA allows up to 120 value fields maximum, so I agree it does not seem prudent to use 80 of them for this purpose.
I suggest you reexamine the level of detail you think may be needed in CO-PA and try to use CO-PC reports at the cost element level to report on more detail. Keep the CO-PA view more aggregated and you can stick with the standard solution for comparing standard to actual costs in CO-PA.

Material Ledger : Actual Cost settlement to Consumption Accounts

Dear CO Experts,
We are aware that when we run CKMLCP, all variances (in the Price Diff GL Account) due to Material Prices flutuation, diff in Standard & Actual Cost of Production, etc. would finally get settled to Consumption or Stock Account in its appropriate ratios.
Consumption Acount GL is a Cost Element with Cost Category as 1.
There can be cases, when there are diferences in Production Order, due to fluctuations in Prices or Actual consumption is more than standard consumption.
When a Production Order is settled the difference is posted to Price Diff Account.
When a Material Ledger (Actual Costing) is executed, Price Diff Account is targetted to be Zero. The Price Diff is then splitted in Stock & Consumtion Account in its appropriate ratios.
Main Question :
Since, Consumption Acount GL is a Cost Element with Cost Category as 1, what shall be the CO Account Assignment Object, when the ML value is settled to Consumption Accounts.

hi merchant..
   1. Price diff between stnd and act is initially goes to PRD a/c through OBYC setting at the time of GR/Invoiceing/Issue if mat is set as S&3.
   2. In case of mat set as V&2 idially there should not be any diff but may arise some small amount due to "no or less stock qty" at the time of invoicing.
3. When CKMLCP is run these price diff & order settlement diff splitted to cons and stock as you mentioned.
Now your question :
" Since, Consumption Acount GL is a Cost Element with Cost Category as 1, what shall be the CO Account Assignment Object, when the ML value is settled to Consumption Accounts"
    Cons GL is cost element cat 1 for capturing mat mov for Issues to orders/cost centres,oth co obj for primary posting at stnd price.
    Now at the time of CKMLCP run you revaluate the materials and price diff are splitted to cons & stock and goes to mat to calculate act cost (stnd +/- prd).
I think this will give you some light on your issue.

Material ledger and cost estmate

Hi all
Can any body tell me the impact on material ledger of deleting the current standard cost estimate from material master? The requirement has come for change the current standard cost from material master whom we have released on 01.01.2008 and now today at 07.01.2008 we want to change this. All the transactions for material in current period I have got the reverse. Now I will delete the cost estimate from T_code CKR1 and than the new standard cost will releases from today in same period. At month end we are going to run the actual costing. Would be any problem in actual costing?
Thanks and Reagrds
Vinay Thakre

thanks Pascal for prompt response,would you please advise my below understanding to ML and actual cost
1)CKMLCP - Edit Costing Run to create costing run to calculated periodic unit price
2)Because there are some activities in CKMLCP,we have to respectively execute CKMF / CKMG/CKMJ / CKMH / CKMI for each activity of costing run
3)after costing run with CIMLCP,SAP will use calculated periodic unit price to revaluate inventory for previous period,and the price indicator S automatically changed to V for previous as well.
4)SAP will generate FI cocument to adj inventory and consumption cost after "post closing"
5)there is different periodic unit price for each closed period
5)the price indicator for closed period is always V,the price indicator in current period is S
