Max no of overhead keys

Hi all
Can any one tell me what is the max no of over head keys that can be maintained in the product costing..
awaitng your answers
thanks and regards
gkk

Hi,
I don't think there is any limit on creation of overhead keys, but too many should not be created. It should meet the Business requirements.
Thanks

  • Overhead calculation not happening after using Overhead key and orgin group

    overhead calculation not happening after using Overhead key and orgin group.
    There was a runtime error earlier related to u201Cdefine credit u201C IMG node under costing sheet component and we have applied SAP note 769946 and that error was gone out of the way
    We want to apply/add Overhead to SFG/FG materials.
    We are using PP order with PCC(product cost collector) as the cost object , i.e costing by period.(system ECC 6)
    But our problem is with material standard cost estimate process.
    We have assigned overhead keys to the percentage rates in costing sheet for material standard costing and assigned the origin groups to the credits of costing sheet. But after running the cost estimate overhead is not taking into account for standard cost calculation.
    In the define credit entry table key field is valid to date strangly and actually system should allow one than one entry with same valid to date and same sec.Cost element(type-41) for different cost centers.
    But if we without using overhead key and origin group, the entire cost in that supporting cost center will come to all materials (SFG/FG) and we can not distinguish between different product materials(SFG /FG).
    We have checked all things as mentined below.
    Firstly that the correct costing sheet is assigned to the valuation
    variant.
    That the costing sheet is entered for the appropriate material type:
    Finished and semi finished or material components.
    All of the above can be checked and verified via transaction OKKN.
    In addition make sure that the base value maintained is present in the
    costing, for example the base may include an Origin group, is that
    origin group part of the materials being costed?
    Similarly if the base is found and values exist how is the overhead
    rate of the costing sheet set up, is it valid etc.
    And finally do a similar check for the credit.
    we doubt this as a programm error...
    So, request all experts to have ur feedback..

    Dear,
    Check your origin group & material unit of mesaurement is same.
    some time in costing sheet origin group is maintain in different unit & for materail it's maitain in other unit of mesaurement.
    You can see unit of measure for material in Additional data - unit of measure.
    Check BOM component material unit also.
    Check same  unit of measure is maintain in KZS2
    I hope above will useful.

  • Overhead key in network order

    Hello,
    Does anyone have an idea how to import a default value to the field "Overhead key" when creating a network header?
    It is not a substitution field.
    Thanks in advance
    and best regards.

  • Overhead key for Finished goods

    Hi all,
    Guide on the following.....Depending upon the Costing Overhead Grp the Overhead will be applied , in our case Overhead % applied depending upon the Raw material consumption . So we have incorporated Over head key in all Semifinished material .
    Now , in all assembly all HALB material have Over head Key , but whether we should have Overhead Key to Finished material also?
    Do revert
    Regards

    Hi,
    It depends how you are arriving at the cost of Finished goods.  If all the consumption, activity and overheads are
    taken into account upto the top most level of the component, there there is no necessity of assigning a seperate
    overhead key.  If the company requires  packaging charges of the finished goods in batches, bar coding activities are to be added after the production, you can use an overhead key on FG.

  • Overhead group & overhead key

    Dear Co experts,
    Cant we assign different overhead keys to overhead group, while defining overhead rates. when iam trying to assign the second overhead key to the same overhead group system is flashing error message.
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi
    No, it is not possible to assign many overhead keys to overhead group. It is one to one only.

  • Overhead key

    Hello all PS guru
    Can any one explain how overhead key is used in overheadcosting which is assigned to project profile.Actually when i m going to assign overhead key in overhead rates of costing sheet i m not getting the field overhead key to assign.The overhead key field is not displayed in costing sheet.
    so how to assign
    Is any dependency have to create
    THANKS AND REGARDS
    SHASHANK

    Hello,
    By using Overhead key, you can create multiple overhead percentages in costing sheet for the same fiscal year.
    For example, if your project profile has costing sheet bcxxx, it can have multiple OH keys for fiscal year 2008- Normal with rate as 9% and Low with rate as 5%. You can use different keys to load different projects with the same costing sheet in the same fiscal year.
    Overhead keys are define in separate t code in customzing under Controlling> Product cost controlling>Product cost planning> Product cost by period> Overhead
    Once you define keys there, you can maintain rates for them in costing sheet maintenance.
    Hope the above helps.

  • The max value for a key in an ODS

    hi,
    i want to link 2 ODS (Historic PRICE and PRICE)
    the key fields in Historic price ODS are : "material", "vendor" , and a field name "AVN"
    I want to create a start routine in order to find the data with the maximum value for the field "AVN" among data with the same key "material, vendor"
    Once this value found, i want to send it in the ODS : "PRIX"
    But how can i do it ?
    should i sort the ODS table ? what is the Abap fonction ?
    Than you very much for your help.
    Jacques

    Hi,
    seems that you need an extraction via self defined function-module.
    Within the FM, you can determine the max value like this:
    DATA: itab_ods_hist type standard table of /BIC/A<ODS HISTORIC PRICE>00 with header line.
    SELECT * FROM /BIC/A<ODS HISTORIC PRICE>00 INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE itab_ods_hist
    SORT itab_ods_hist descending by material vendor AVN.
    DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FORM itab_ods_hist COMPARING material vendor.
    This will give you only the max values within the itab.
    now hand this over.
    Example for a function module for extraction can be found in the R/3 source system.

  • Overhead key description issue

    Hi Team,
    I copied COGM Costing sheet and i added new OH keys with "Z" description as labour, machine hour, production cost etc..
    i have give credits as E00, E01, E02 etc..
    While define credit description as "Cr raw material, Cr raw material, Cr raw material".  while running CK11N i am getting different description as " OHS Ram Material, OHS Other Material, OHS Personnel".
    I want to change the description like Labour, Machine hour, Production cost, etc..
    Pls help me how can i change the description.
    Regards,
    Nagaraju.

    Hi Nagaraju
    CK11N would show the description of the Secondary cost element (Category 41) involved in the costing sheet
    So, if you want some other description, you will have to do it in KA02

  • Overhead is not getting updated in the production order

    Hi all,
    I am running actual overhead calculation with KGI2.
    But the overheads are not getting updated in the order.
    Order contains relevant overhead key also.
    What could be the possible causes?
    SmanS

    Arun/ Suleman,
    Thank you for your reply.
    I have maintained the % in the costing sheet against the 'Overhead rate' but I didn't get the secondary cost element.
    Request you to elaborate it further & explain me how to maintain the same.
    Also I will be thankful to you, if you could explain me the exact process of loading the overhead on the order i.e. how it loads the overhead form the cost center to order? What happens to the total cost which was lying on the cost center etc, in details.
    Mean while I had maintained the required values in costing sheet in KZS2.
    Maintained the % against material overhead rate as well as manufacturing overhead rate.
    Maintained the credit values for the overhead rate.
    Maintained the calculation base values also.
    Now while overhead calculation with KGI2, I am getting two errors as follows,
    1. S:K5:162 E02 20090831
    2. Error CREDIT_SEGMENTS_ADD COIOB NOT FOUND for object
    I can not figure out the reason.

  • How to combine large number of key-value pair tables into a single table?

    I have 250+ key-value pair tables with the following characteristics
    1) keys are unique within a table but may or may not be unique across tables
    2) each table has about 2 million rows
    What is the best way to create a single table with all the unique key-values from all these tables? The following two queries work till about 150+ tables
    with
      t1 as ( select 1 as key, 'a1' as val from dual union all
              select 2 as key, 'a1' as val from dual union all
              select 3 as key, 'a2' as val from dual )
    , t2 as ( select 2 as key, 'b1' as val from dual union all
              select 3 as key, 'b2' as val from dual union all
              select 4 as key, 'b3' as val from dual )
    , t3 as ( select 1 as key, 'c1' as val from dual union all
              select 3 as key, 'c1' as val from dual union all
              select 5 as key, 'c2' as val from dual )
    select coalesce(t1.key, t2.key, t3.key) as key
    ,      max(t1.val) as val1
    ,      max(t2.val) as val2
    ,      max(t3.val) as val3
    from t1
    full join t2 on ( t1.key = t2.key )
    full join t3 on ( t2.key = t3.key )
    group by coalesce(t1.key, t2.key, t3.key)
    with
      master as ( select rownum as key from dual connect by level <= 5 )
    , t1 as ( select 1 as key, 'a1' as val from dual union all
              select 2 as key, 'a1' as val from dual union all
              select 3 as key, 'a2' as val from dual )
    , t2 as ( select 2 as key, 'b1' as val from dual union all
              select 3 as key, 'b2' as val from dual union all
              select 4 as key, 'b3' as val from dual )
    , t3 as ( select 1 as key, 'c1' as val from dual union all
              select 3 as key, 'c1' as val from dual union all
              select 5 as key, 'c2' as val from dual )
    select m.key as key
    ,      t1.val as val1
    ,      t2.val as val2
    ,      t3.val as val3
    from master m
    left join t1 on ( t1.key = m.key )
    left join t2 on ( t2.key = m.key )
    left join t3 on ( t3.key = m.key )
    /

    A couple of questions, then a possible solution.
    Why on earth do you have 250+ key-value pair tables?
    Why on earth do you want to consolodate them into one table with one row per key?
    You could do a pivot of all of the tables, without joining. something like:
    with
      t1 as ( select 1 as key, 'a1' as val from dual union all
              select 2 as key, 'a1' as val from dual union all
              select 3 as key, 'a2' as val from dual )
    , t2 as ( select 2 as key, 'b1' as val from dual union all
              select 3 as key, 'b2' as val from dual union all
              select 4 as key, 'b3' as val from dual )
    , t3 as ( select 1 as key, 'c1' as val from dual union all
              select 3 as key, 'c1' as val from dual union all
              select 5 as key, 'c2' as val from dual )
    select key, max(t1val), max(t2val), max(t3val)
    FROM (select key, val t1val, null t2val, null t3val
          from t1
          union all
          select key, null, val, null
          from t2
          union all
          select key, null, null, val
          from t3)
    group by keyIf you can do this in a single query, unioning all 250+ tables, then you do not need to worry about chaining or migration. It might be necessary to do it in a couple of passes, depending on the resources available on your server. If so, I would be inclined to create the table first, with a larger than normal percent free, then do the first set as a straight insert, and the remaining pass or passes as a merge.
    Another alternative might be to use the approach above, but limit the range of keys in each pass. So pass one would have a predicate like where key between 1 and 10 in each branch of the union, pass 2 would have key between 11 and 20 etc. That way everything would be straight inserts.
    Having said all that, I go back to my second question above, why on earth do you want/need to do this? What is the business requirement you are trying to solve. There might be a much better way to meet the requirement.

  • Cost estimate (CK11N)is not picking the overhead cost for some of the mat

    Hi all,
    we are facing a problem. The overhead key is defined. the calculation base is defined in the cost sheet. But the overhead cost is not picking  for some of the materials
    Bad Material 5019-0581 via CK11n.
    As you can see in the itemization, only the material and the routing are listed.  No amounts from the OH of ZPTA ( .10).  It should show a line #5 with an amount of (28 quantity  x .10) = $2.80 added to the Total value.
    first three line items it is picked from material and fourth line item from the internal activity.
    the fifth item from G overhead is not picked.

    Hi,
    Check whether u have assigned the cost sheet in u r costing variant which is being used in CK11N.
