Material Ledger-Periodic Unit price-Overhead cost calculation

Dear Friends,
My client using ML periodic unit pricing for reporting purpose.
Costing analysis with Standard price,I can be able to trace out how O/H would be calculated and derived into cost analysis.But with periodic unit price, the O/H figures are differnt from cost analysis with standard price.Iam unable to trace out how O/H is getting calculating in case of Periodic unit pricing.My client would like to know why the O/H rates are differnt and from where we are derving in case of periodic unit price.
Could some one tell where I can find out the configuration setting for O/H rates maintenence for periodic unit pricing.
Thanks & Regards.
Ram

HI Ajay,
Thanks for your reply.
I can find the O/H rates as you said but none of the O/H rates are matching with periodic Unit price cost analysis.
The main question was how O/H rates with periodic unit price are differnt from O/H rates with standard price ?.I greatly apprceciate for your answer.
Thanks,
Ram

Material Ledger Periodic Price

hello gurus,
we are activated the material ledger.when we run ckmlcp the perodic price become the standard price.but my client wants standard price only they wants perodic price only for statiscal purpose only
For ex:
std price 100
periodic price is 150
when we run the month end activities periodic price become the std price i.e 150
but our client wants std price 100 for all periods and periodic price only for information prupose
for this how can configure in the system
Regards,
Rihana

Dear Rihana,
You can change the Price determination control from '3' to '2'. For materials with 'price control' = 'S' and 'price determination
control' = '2' the periodic unit price (PUP or v-price) is for statistical purpose only. However, please note that 2S-materials will not be selected during period-end closing. Only 3S-materials will be handled in txn CKMLCP.

Material scale price in cost calculation

Hi Experts,
could any of You pls advice me with an 'inforecord scale price' - based calculation?
My calculation - material cost - based on inforecord price, but it is not correct when I want to make a calculation for ex. pilot products. During cost calculation for different costing lot size, I have different material qty requirement. Scale price is exist in inforecord. In the calculation the system always check the scale price of the material - based on the costing lot size in the material master, and do not care about how much the actual raw material need in the calcuation.
Ex. the scale price is 1-100 pcs X USD, 101-1000 pcs Y USD -mat.master lot size: 1000; I have a calculation for 600 pcs - which requires 60 pcs of the raw material. In this case I want the system to have the 1-100 pcs X USD - as actual need on calculation, but the system takes the 101-1000 PCS Y USD - as material lot size. So I really can not check how much the pilot will cost: 100 pcs, 400 pcs etc to produce, but I always have to maintain the component material masters with changing the calc. lot size in material master (first I have to check how much will be the consumption in the following calculation...)
I want to have a calculation, when the real raw material consumption in the calculation is checked and the scale price is match with it.
Do You have any good idea, how to handle?
Br

Dear,
thank You for answering and investigating into this issue, You get a good point, but my setting is actually different form standard:
In my calculation through costing variant and valuation variant - the inforecord has higher priority than the planned price - we only use planned price form mat. master if no relevant inforecord exist, but in my case there are inforecords with scale price.
Issuing production order is not enought for me for checking all costs - some additonal cost components are exist - through overhead determination such as duty, freight, etc. which has been defined using overhead group and overhead key, and assigned to material in material master (costing view).
I know it is a bit more complex than a normal quantity structure calculation - but this is the one, I have to deal with. Available CO-consultant told me, this scale -price handling is MM-issue, that is why I ask MM guys first.
Anyone pls, have some idea about inforecord scale price in cost calculation based on component requirement in actual calculation. I would appreciate a lot.

Material Ledger - release actual price as the standard price for the next-

Hi Gurus, Sap Library /documentation about Material Ledger says:
"At the end of the period, an actual price is calculated for each material based on the actual costs of the period. This actual price is called the periodic unit price and can be used to revaluate the inventory for the period to be closed. In addition, you can use this actual price as the standard price for the next period."
How Can I do that? i've calculated the new actual price but i could release it as a new standar costo.
Kind Regards
André

Hi Both,
I think there is something else to add to this, the new PUP price can only be applicable in the period N+2 where N=Period of closing. This is something that is not specifically mentions in SAP documents.(not that I know of ) but I found it the hard way!
Cheers

Mat Ledger, Per.Unit Price for materials showing wronglu in Group Valuation

Hi,
Periodic Unit Price of the materials for plant 1300 belongs to company code 1300 showing wrong value in Group Valuation.
Usually Periodic price for all valuations viz., Legal, Group and Profit center valuations should be same, why because we are using same cost component structure in order to arrive the actual cost for all the above three valuations.
Even though Group Valuation of Per. Unit Price is not matching with the Legal and profit center valuations Per. Unit Price. But both legal and profit center valuations are matching.
Please note that, actual cost component split for actual costing is not activated for plant 1300.
When analyzing this issue, it is observed that only the settlement value in between the Group, Profit center and legal valuation is differing for material ledger document.
But accounting document, PCA document, controlling documents are updating correctly.
Please help us how can i proceed to get the details of cost components, even actual cost component structure is not activiated for actual costing.
what are the possible reasons for differing values in Group valuations.
Regards,
S Vasu
Because of this reason system is calculating different values in group valuation (comparatively with legal and PCA valuations) at lower levels and flowing the same values to multilevel.

Value based on the periodic unit price(only with pr.ctrl S) field in MatMas

Dear all,
There is this field in mateial master called "Value based on the periodic unit price (only with pr.ctrl S)" in accounting view 1,
1 - May I know what is this field about (in between our company using material ledger).
2 - May I know why the value of this field are different between our company period 6 and period 7 for this year? what contribute to it? and is it something wrong with different value between two different period or absolutely normal?
Thanks.
Tuff

Hi Tuffy,
For your 1st query:
PUP field in Accounting 1 (if ML is active, Price Determination indicator=3) is the result of Actual Costing Run (CKMLCP) closing entry.
For your 2nd query:
In most of the cases the values will be different in Previous Period and Current Period. e.g.Period 6 values are the results of Actual Costing Run (CKMLCP) in 1st week of Period 6 for Previous Period (i.e. Period 5). Period 7 values are the results of Actual Costing Run (CKMLCP) in 1st week of Period 7 for Previous Period (i.e. Period 6).
The reason for the different values: Price differences, Exchange rate differences, Price/Exchange rate differences from Low lower materials, etc.
Thanks & Regards,
ADI

EM C+ 723 Periodic unit price of the material will be negative

Hello All,
We have a problem in our production system , with the material ledger closing in transaction CKMLCP where for period 11 / 2011 the system has issued the error that u201CPeriodic unit price of the material will be negativeu201D for material ABCD in plant 1000.
The analysis shows an amount against 'Not Distributed' as a separate line above cumulative inventory.
We would like to know the reason for the error.
regards
Monali

Dear Monali.
The error C+723 is not caused by a program error. It is issued when
the calculated price of a certain material would become negative.
The error occurs only for cycle materials because for materials that
are not in a cycle the system automatically applied a fallback strate
gy to avoid a negative price (by using a different price, for example
the actual price of the previous period or the standard price).
There are two options to deal with the error:
1) You can analyze the reason why the price would become negative.
   For this you can use the error document which is created by
   multi level price determinatio for the affected material.
   (-> use transaction CKM3). The negative price is caused by
   negative variances allocated during the period at the material
   itself or at one of its input materials.
   You can then analyze via CKM3 the postings done for this material
   and do a correction posting or complete a missing posting (for
   example a missing order settlement).
   The long text of message C+723 gives more information.
   After doing correction posting please repeat single and multi
   level price determination.
2) If you have no time to analyze the error you can choose the
   automatic error management for cycle materials.
   In the variant maintenance of multi level price determination
   choose Edit -> Show postprocessing options
   In the frame 'Negative price: automatic error management you can
   then check the box Cycle 'cut all connections'.
   By doing this instead of issuing C+723 the system calculates
   the cycle by cutting all connections. Thus the materials are
   processed successfully, but no variances are rolled between
   materials within the cycle.
   The F1 help gives more information.

Regarding Overhead Cost Calculations

Hi,
Please explain me the caluculations for Overhead costs (per unit) in CK13N and the activities values (like Set up, Cycle & labour hours) from where it is captured?

Activity:
- every work center (CR02) has a standard value key with up to 6 parameters (setup, labour, ...)
- in every operation of the routing (CA02), standard values are entered for every parameter (hours of setup, hours of labour, etc.)
- every work center has a Tab Costing with reference to a cost center and activity type for every parameter. In the cost center, activity prices are entered thru KP26
- When running the costs estimate, hours of each standard value times actiivity price gives the total costs of each activity.
Overhead
- the material master of the product (MM02) has an overhead group in the costing Tab
- the overhead is related in the CO Customizing to some prices charged to every production order (or cost estimate) based on some criteria (such as material costs, machine or labour hours, etc.)

Actual Costing/Material Ledger (CO-PC-ACT) - Actual costing

Hello,
I have same problem with actual costing in material Ledger.
When I perform the actual costing a price differences that belongs to materials (orders) which at the end of the period are WIP, remain not split and don not book them on Accruals and defer.acct(material ledger) (OBYC - Transaction LKW).
Moreover, in the following month, system does not taking into account the value.
Does anybody had similar problem or knew how tu handle it?
Thanks in advance,
Rafal

Hi Rafal,
there is a functionality built into acual costing to cover this:

Material ledger period-end closing - material selection based period status

Dear SAP Experts,
The OSS note 980475 describes functionality of excluding materials without inventory and postings from the period-end closing of the material ledger. The system assigns a new period status for materials without inventory and postings (05 "Period opened without inventory"). This period status is set by the dynamic period-closing program for the new period (instead of "Period opened") if the material does not have any inventory.
Could you clarify what is dynamic period-closing program for the new period?
In my system this note is implemented but still during costing closing materials are being selected even though no postings have been done on them in that period and no inventory exists.
Thankk you very much for advise.
Best regards,
Robert

Hi Robert, have you find out what this dynamic period closing is?is this just the option Check and close period in TCode MMPV? or is het one the CKMLCP steps?
thanx in advance,
Said Dahmaza.

Valuation stragety "Net purchase price " for cost calculation

Hi,i indicate "Net purchase price" used for plan cost calculation,but if there a many PO with different venfor for this material,how the system to determine which PO price used for cost calculation?
thanks in advance

Hi ajai,
I agree with your point,we have 3 info record for a material and 2 are valid as such. The price maintained in two info records are as 7.5 & 1.0 respectively(valid info records).
The last price in the purchase order (of the info those records) are 0.41(dated on 09.04.2010) & 0.2(dated on 19.04.2010) respectively, but when we execute the cost estimation the system picks the price of 7.5 not the least price of 0.2(as its the latest purchased price).
Do let us know why and of what logic the system picks the highest price.
Do revert.
Regard,

Overhead cost calculation

Dear SAPers
I have a problem that I don't get overhead cost when doing order confirmation (T-Code COR6N). I set overhead cost to be copied from work hour of labor that I key for confirmation. But the overhead cost isn't copied from that. Thus, can anyone tell me how to do with this?
PS. This is overhead cost for production.
Paphot

Hi,
Overhead cost should be calculated manually after all the goods movement and confirmation has been done using TT code KGI2 or CO43.
Please check whether in costing sheet you have maintained the overhead rate for Plan and actual also ?

Material ledger Vs Purchase price difference....

Hi Experts,
My client activated ML, maintaind price control is S, monthly he is charging all purchase price variance is to product through ML RUN....but in some amount is flowing to copa, because that Purchase price diff account is assigned in OKB9 default to CO-PA(Cost ele cat 01)....
After checking all the line items those are flowing to co-pa , those are internal tranfer from one material to another material(through migo), then any difference is there that amount is flowing to copa(SFG to FG).
whether it is correct or not?
please clear my confusion....
Thanks,
Chandu

Huh, that's weird. I'm discount upgrade eligible but if I weren't, that would be mighty frustrating. I feel for those of you that are not discount eligible... I guess that would be enough for me to wait and buy direct from Apple, however or whenever Apple is selling phones (too much misinformation out there on this subject and don't want to open another debate).
