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?

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.

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.

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

Production costs for material with price control V

Dear all,
Can anyone pls tell me, how will the costing occur for a material produced in-house and having price control 'V' ? I am not able to see the target costs.
Also kindly tell me the settings to be done in CO, like target cost version, valuation variant, costing variant, etc.
Thank you,
Shrenik

Rather than giving my own versions I have compiled here SAP inputs. Pl let me know if you require any clarifications:
Costing variant has the following components:
<b>Define Costing Types
Define Valuation Variants
Define Date Control
Define Quantity Structure Control
Define Transfer Strategy
Define Reference Variants</b>
<u>Costing type:</u>
In the costing type, you define the purpose of a material cost estimate by specifying, for example, which field in the material master record the costing results can be transferred to:
Update Cost Estimate
Standard price Standard cost estimate (01)
Tax-based price Inventory cost estimate
Commercial price Inventory cost estimate
Price other than std price Modified standard cost estimate or
current cost estimate
No update Any cost estimate
Define Valuation Variants:
Define Valuation Variants
Here you create a valuation variant containing the parameters required for valuation of a cost estimate.
You also specify which costing sheet should be used to calculate overhead.
Valuation Strategies
Material valuation
Here you define the sequence in which the system searches for prices from the accounting view or costing view of the material master record to valuate materials. You can also access prices from purchasing info records and condition types.
For material cost estimates, you also specify whether additive costs can be added to the selected price.
With configurable/configured material components and with procurement alternatives, the sequence defined here is ignored if the strategy "price from purchasing info record" was selected, in which case that strategy is always executed first. For more information, refer to the SAP Library in the component Product Cost Planning under Raw Material Costing or Mixed Costing.
Activity Types / Processes
Here you define the sequence in which the system searches for prices in activity type planning or actual activity price calculation in Cost Center Accounting or Activity-Based Costing to valuate the utilized activity types and business processes.
You also specify which plan/actual version is used.
Subcontracting
Here you define the sequence in which the system searches for prices in the purchasing info record. In purchasing, quota arrangements are used to create a mixed price for materials that are manufactured with external vendors with parts provided by the customer. You can specify whether the quota of the individual vendors that are entered in the source list for the material to be processed should be determined through the planned quota arrangement or the actual quota arrangement.
External processing
Here you define the sequence in which the system searches for prices in the purchasing info record or routing operation for valuation of the external activities.
Strategy Sequence
You define the individual valuation methods for the valuation variant as strategy sequences. For the valuation of the material components you define a strategy sequence that reads the fields of the material master record in a particular sequence such as:
1. Planned price 1
2. Standard price
3. Moving price
The first price that is not zero is used to valuate the material component.
Target versions:
Target cost versions are used in the following ways:
In variance calculation:
To control which variance (total variance, production variances or planning variance) is calculated
To valuate unplanned scrap( scrap variance)
Unplanned scrap is valuated in the period-end closing activities when the variances are calculated. You can specify in a valuation variant for WIP and scrap which cost estimate you want to use to calculate the target costs for the valuation of unplanned scrap. You assign the valuation variant to target cost version 0 if you want to include it in the valuation of scrap.
When you are using a cost object hierarchy with active distribution, you use the target cost version to control which cost estimate the system uses to calculate the target costs, which are used as the basis for determining equivalences for actual cost distribution.
The actual costs collected at the level of the hierarchy are distributed across the orders in accordance with these equivalences. This distribution is proportional to the target costs for the cost element under which the actual costs are written. Actual costs for material costs are distributed in proportion to the target costs for the origin group, such as for the material, if you have entered an origin group in the costing view of the material master record and have set the indicator Material origin, for example.
If no target costs were calculated under this cost element, enter a cost element group in the target cost version. The actual costs are distributed in proportion to the target costs for this cost element group. This cost element group should be complete. If costs were updated under a cost element that is not in this cost element group, no distribution is possible.
You can calculate equivalences on the basis of SAP standard target cost versions 0, 1 and 3.
The standard system supplies the following target cost versions:
Target cost version 0 ( total variance)
The amount of the total variance generates a posting in Financial Accounting during settlement.
For this version, select actual costs as the control costs and standard cost estimate as the target costs.
Target cost version 1 ( production variance)
For this version you choose actual costs as the control costs and planned costs as the target costs.
Target cost version 2( planning variance)
With target cost version 2, the costs from the preliminary order cost estimate are interpreted as control costs.
For this version, select planned costs as the control costs and current cost estimate as the target costs. You cannot calculate planning variances for the product cost collector.
Target cost version 3 (production variance of the period)
You compare the planned costs of the period calculated on the basis of an alternative material cost estimate (such as a modified standard cost estimate) with the actual costs of the period on the basis of the yield delivered to stock in the period.
The base quantity for variance calculation is the yield.
For this version, you choose the actual costs as the control costs and the alternative material cost estimate as the target costs. To determine the alternative material cost estimate, enter a costing variant and choose a costing version.
The target cost version specifies which data is to be compared. The target cost version also specifies which variance variant is used and therefore which variance catagories are calculated. You can define a different target cost version for each controlling area

Shiment Cost Calculation Rules

Hi Gurus
Can you please provide me details of configuring Shipment Cost Calculation Rules?
Thank You

Hi Brajesh,
Is the following rules you are expecting?
Determining the Calculation Basis
Use
The origin of the data upon which a condition type is based during shipment costing determines the calculation basis. During shipment costing, the system determines the shipment cost items from the different calculation bases for the condition types of a pricing procedure. Shipment costing itself is carried out for each sub-item.
Prerequisites
You must maintain a suitable calculation base in the definition for the condition type in Customizing.
If you select handling units as the calculation basis, you must also specify the packaging material type so that only the relevant handling units are used for shipment cost calculation.
Features
The calculation bases are determined during shipment costing for a shipment cost item on the basis of the settings made in the condition type.
During pricing, the calculation base influences
The condition types to be considered for each sub-item
The information available for determination of the conditions
All condition bases contain information from the shipment header or shipment stage, as well as from the shipment cost item. This information includes service agents, geographical information (point of departure and destination) and shipping type, for example.
How the scale base types (gross weight, net weight and volume) are calculated
The following types of calculation bases are possible:
Deliveries
If condition types with this calculation base exist in the pricing procedure, then the system creates a shipment cost sub-item for every relevant delivery.
No information from the delivery items (such as materials) or the handling units is available.
The scale base types (gross weight, net weight, volume) refer to the corresponding information from the delivery headers.
Delivery items
If condition types with this calculation base exist in the pricing procedure, then the system creates shipment cost sub-items for every relevant delivery item.
Information from the delivery header and the relevant delivery item is available. There is no information from the handling units, however.
The scale base types (gross weight, net weight, volume) refer to the corresponding information from the delivery items.
Group of Handling Units
If condition types with this calculation base exist in the pricing procedure, then the system creates shipment cost sub-items for the sum of all identical handling units with the relevant packaging material type (also specified in the condition type).
There is no information from the deliveries or the delivery items available.
The scale base types (gross weight, net weight, volume) refer to the corresponding cumulated information from the relevant handling units.
Shipment cost item
If condition types with this calculation base exist in the pricing procedure, then the system creates exactly one shipment cost sub-item.
There is no information from the deliveries, the delivery items or the handling units.
The scale base types (gross weight, net weight, volume) refer to the corresponding information from the relevant delivery headers.
Per handling unit
This calculation basis corresponds to the calculation basis handling units, with the only difference that each handling unit is calculated individually. This calculation base is necessary for shipping packages, for example.
Handling unit including delivery item
If condition types with this calculation basis exist in the pricing procedure, then the system creates a shipment cost sub-item for every packaged delivery item and handling unit (per combination of delivery item and handling unit). Shipment costs are therefore calculated with content depending on the handling unit.
All of the information from the handling units and delivery items is available.
The scale basis types (gross weight, net weight, volume) refer to the gross weight of a handling unit per delivery item.
All
You can use this calculation base if, for example, you want to define a discount that applies to both delivery-related and handling unit-related shipment prices. A condition type with this calculation base can be used for every shipment cost sub-item.
Several calculation bases may be used within a shipment cost item. In performing a shipment comparison, for example, the calculation could be performed using two calculation bases. You could then compare the results. See also Shipment Comparisons.
For system load and clarity reasons, we recommend selecting a calculation base that is only as detailed as absolutely necessary. For example, if only the total weight and the transportation leg are relevant, the calculation base for shipment cost items is sufficient. However, you can still distribute the costs in greater detail. The cost distribution is independent of the calculation base. For example, you can calculate shipment costs using the calculation basis for shipment cost items and distribute the costs at delivery item level. The system weights the costs and distributes them accordingly.
When defining the condition tables in Customizing (Logistics Execution ® Transportation ® Shipment Costs ® Pricing ® Pricing Control ® Define price dependencies (condition tables), you should make sure that information is not available for every field - depending upon calculation base. If, for example, you select the field Incoterms for a condition table when condition types with the calculation basis Handling units exist in the pricing procedure, there can be no information on Incoterms for the corresponding sub-item. This means that no condition records will be found for this key. For further information on the role of the condition table in pricing, see Condition Tables.
Please let me know your thoughts.

Bom Component qty & WIP Quantity differ at Trget cost calculation

Dear gurus,
i am facing the problem with WIP at target cost calculation in REM.
My issue is
BOM Component qantity is 9.524 TO and price is 2000 then total cost is 9.521*2000=19048.
but in WIP Report kkas in WIP explation it takes input qty 9.52 T0 and price 2000 then total price is 19040.
Difference is 19048 - 19040 =8
and also when i am issuing actual qty i.e 9.524 in BOM then my price is 19048.00 ant at time of variance calculaton then quantaty variance as 9.52.0-9.524.0=-0.04 then 0.004*2000 =-8
Please suggest solution for this.
Any OSSS NOTE Required
any Quires please revert back

Hi
Rounding differences between target and actual values and quantities are not unlikely to occur and cannot always be avoided but can be minimized.
Small prices and price unit of 1 are likely to cause more of these rounding differences..
The actual credit is simply calculated as price * quantity. The target credit however is calculated during the variance calculation
and based on the sum of all items in the itemization/cost components of the cost estimate and therefore more accurate.
To avoid this I suggest to store the material price with a larger price unit, i.e. 1000
Std cost release stores price upto 2 decimals and target cost calculation goes upto 3 decimals...
Please check also the note 1265918 for more information to this topic.

Actual Cost Calculation in Process Order

Hi All,
I updated Standard cost of a raw material through a cost estimate and also ran cost estimate of the FIN that is using this raw material but when I am creating a Process order, it is taking the cost of this particular raw material from the previous estimate not the recent one to calculate the target cost. Can any body help me with this.
Thanks
MKR

Hi Ashok,
My Valuation variants for the Costing Variant of Cost Estimate and Production order (Actual/Plan) cost calculation are in Sync to get the prices according to the price indicator in material master. But when it calculates cost for a production order, it is picking up cost from the previous period for that particular raw material. I have updated the standard cost by running the cost estimate but still its not working.
Any lead on this. This will be really appreciated.
Thanks

Material ledger and standard cost estimate

Hi Gurus,
When standard cost estimate is done in a scenario, where material ledger is activated, does the entire stock get revaluated andl post a credit in my P/L? Is it possible to keep my inventory(FG and SFG) at periodic unit price ie at the actual manufacturing price over a longer period say 3 years? Please fill this gap in my understanding.
Best regards
Vimal

Hi Vimal,
Material ledger uses the standard price as 'preliminary price' always during the current month, independent of the question if a new standard price was estimated and released.
But: After period end, when the actual price is calculated the posting will adjust the inventory and P/L accounts to the actual price, with posting date in the recent period.
That means if you have a material that was manufactured once and then consumed over a 3 year period, and during that period you calculate the same material in a standard cost estimate with changing results, that would mean: Looking back at any month during the 3 years the consumption and stock values will be valued at the actual price of manufacturing. But during the currently open period it will always be valuated at the price of the last released cost estimate.
I hope I understood your scenario correct...
Best regards, Udo

Price for Cost Estimation - Info Records

Hi All,
We need a clarification on how system picks the price for COST ESTIMATION with following setting in Valuation Variant.
1.Valuation Price from USER EXIT
2.Price from Purchasing Info Records
3.M A P
4. Planned Price 1
Sub Stratergy.
1.Effective Price from Purchase Order
2. Net Quotation Price
3. Gross Quotation Price.
If we have 3 info records with the same validity date and different price in each for three vendor, what price will system pick for calculating the stand cost estimation.
We have activated Material Ledger and we in ECC 6.0.
Do suggest.

User-defined fields in cost calculation

Hi, I'm working with process order in customer service process.
I would like to make a cost precalculation based on a user-defined field.
To let you know.
I created a new user-defined field.
I affected to it a new parameter ID so that this user-defined field value can be used in formulas.
I created a new formula with my parameter ID.
This is allowed for costs.
Now in my work center I defined these data for costing
price for pre calculation is defined for IN9020 and cost center.
Now in my service order I fill the required field.
I would have thought that according to formula, SAP would use this value (6 PC through the formula) to calculate costs.
This is not the case.
Did anybody already use this?
Regards
Olivier

Dear Maniaba
We have used user fields in task list to capture quantity in terms of nos & its weight for each operation. This we used as a work around to capture the repair jobs quantity & tonnage. While mapping repair of a particular machine with out any reference to material(that is we have not created them as serialised material as in the case of refurbishment) we have created task list for its repair and user wanted to capture the quantity of repair (say how many & also its weight) so we have maintained the tonnage per 1 no in these fields. later when order is being created user selects the task list & changes the quantity field then we have developed report where we calculate the total tonnage of that job & also no of items repaired.

Material standard value in Pricing calculation

Hi,
I have requirement to have material standard price should be included in sales price determination in pricing procedure.
E.p
Material standard price in material master 50 rs
then in Pricing it should come as

Error in cost calculation for production order

Dear All,
I got error of cost calculation while release of Production Order due to price of some material is not mantain .
What will happen if I release , save the Order with error & do Good Issue ???
Ishwar

Dear Ishwar,
Check the log's created for costing and rectify the same.
I feel its better to rectify the cost related errors and then release the production order and proceed to Good's Issue.
Check whether there is a MAP for all the Raw-materials and an origin group in costing 1 view.
The Finished product must be having a standard cost estimate that's valid for the current period.
Revert back in case of any more help needed.

SAP PM-Cost Calculation

Dear All,
Can you tell me how the cost is getting calculated through the order?
Thanks & Regards
Vishal Gadge

Hi,
Cost gets calculated based on the Costing variants .. for planned and actual each of them have a separate costing variants ..
The costing variants are assigned to combination of order type & plant in spro
The costing variants further have Costing type and valuation variant. The valulation variants has details from where cost needs to be picked for cost calculation.Ex :-For material cost - cost to be picked from Moving average price ..check OKP6 /OKP8/OIOF
Type of cost Estimate, Planned, Actual
Estimate :- Can be entered manually
Planned :- Calulated automatically based on the operation hrs /components entered
Actual is also calculated automatically based on operations hrs confirmation in IW41, GI , GR for Non stock, S.E.S acceptance in ML81N ..
How does the flow of costs works in SAP PM?
