While performing MF 70-Separated Back Flush Process System is
encountering Major Errors
1.Cost Collector Blocked
2.Maximum No.of FI items reached
Checked for up to date costing, need inputs to resolve the above
issues
Steps for Reconstruction
MF70-CHECK " Post goods issue" -check "make to stock "---

Planned issues against a Product Cost Collector

Hi, I am very new to Product costing and currently looking to find out the planned quantities that are there against the actual quantities that are issued through a Product Cost Collector for producing a Semi finished good maintained in Kg. Any help?
Thanks
Deepankar

Hi
The issue is solved.
The problem was on our end that some of the transports were missing. Ajay was right and those transports were missing.
Thanks Ajay.
Really appreciate it

Assign cost center to cost collector

Dear all,
My client wants to see material cosumption report cost center wise. We have maintained Repetetive manufacturing process. MFBF is tcode we use to post GI and GR with back flush .
Where do we assign cost center to the cost collecter and how do we get the material consumption report.
Can any one help me please....
B.S.Rao

Dear Rao,
Generally the bulk material's that are directly available at the work center are issued to the cost center using 201 movement
through T Code MB1A.
In REM scenario all the Goods issue happens at the time of backflushing through T Code MFBF,and a product cost collector will
be used as a cost collecting object for the same.
In my understanding there is no possibility of assinging or linking a PCC and a cost center.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Target costs on Product cost collectors

Hi,
we have a problem with target costs on product cost collector.
For the product cost collectors which are existing from long time, it is not updating target costs as soon as backflushing(Goods issue and goods receipt at same time) is done.
For the product cost collectors which are created newly it is updating target costs as soon as backflushing is done.
so we would like to know exactly at what point of time target costs will be updated on product cost collector.
Thanks,
Santosh Malisetti.

Hi Rich,
After researching little bit we found that its a standard functionality for product collector's not to update target costs until we do the variance caluculation. But there is one special case. When a new product collector is created it will update the target costs when backflushing(GI and GR ) is done, but this will happen during first month only. once this product cost collector has participated in variance calculation process, it will not update the target costs when backflushing is done,
until it participates in variance calculation again.
Thanks,
Santosh

Old material overwritten by new material code in Product cost collector

Hi SAP Gurus,
How can I work around if a product cost collector with material XXX has been overwritten by a new material YYY when creating the KKF6N.
Both material code having the same plant, same orde type,same production version but just different material code.
When saving the preliminary costing for the product cost collector for material YYY, the system prompted me the order number 700022 which is already existing and created for material XXX.
By right, this shd not be happened but indeed it did.
Now when displaying the report S_ALR_87013127 - Order Selection, the report showed the new material YYY was created with order number 700022 but the content of the data was for old material XXX.
Now my problem is how can I get back the product cost collector for material XXX as the original order number 700022 was meant for material XXX and not mat YYY.
And also when executing backflush (MFBF) for old material XXX, the error msg prompted as 'content of order 700022: Mat YYY transferred to interface (IMSEG):Mat XXX due to this I can't backflush material XXX.
Really appreciate your expertise on this urgently.
many thanks!

problem due to system bug, have to log to OSS for help.

Error while creating Product Cost Collector

Hi SAP Gurus,
While creating Product Cost Collector I am getting the following Error:
Enter a distribution rule for Order without a validity limit
Message no. KD059
Diagnosis
The settlement profile used requires you to define a distribution rule for Order. For period 009 2008, however, you have not created a distribution rule for Order.
Procedure
Create a distribution rule for Order without a validity limit, because, if the distribution rule does have a validity limit, the system always issues this message in the period following the last valid period.
You can also use a different settlement profile that does not require such a distribution rule, or change the settlement rule used.
Can any one help where exactly i need to maintain this.
The settlement profile settings are fine.
I am getting this error only after i have changed the scenario to Reproting point back flushing

Dear Suryanarayana
Please check the corresponding settlement profile for product orders.
In most of the cases message KD059 means that no distribution rule is assigned to your production order.
This is not an error, but the system design. In order to avoid message KD059 you will either have to enter settlements parameters and a distribution, or change settlement profile for valid receivers in transaction OKO7 from 'settlement required' to 'Can be settled'.
I hope this helps resolve the issue for you. I wish you the best in your endeavours.
Kind Regards,
Brendan

Transfer of Costs in Product Cost Collector to COPA

Dear Experts,
Please can you advise me on this current issue I'm having. Below is a description of problem:
Customer is currently using report designed in COPA (KE30) to derive P&L report for using Plant as a characteristic.
This was being done at a time when Product Costing functionality was not being used
All costs (administrative, sales and production costs) were being collected in cost centers
At end of month assessment of cost center values to COPA is executed (KEU5)
Customer is then able to derive P&L report per Plant characteristic
However with implementation of Product Costing, all Production related costs are captured in Product Cost Collectors and not Cost Center
Hence we have no way of assessing or transferring total production costs from Product Cost Collector to CO-PA
We have tried to configure FI/MM PA transfer structure (KEI1) and default account assignment (OKB9) for automatic transfer of costs on goods receipt/issue, however this is not working because the product cost collector is used as the default account assignment for the transactions
So far only material cost valuation of sales/billed materials are possible (which does not address concern)
As a result we have a gap and customer is unable to derive P&L by Plant from CO-PA.
Can you advise if there is a way out, in order to have all Production Cost transferred to CO-PA.
Thanks,
Ola.

Hi Ola
Your Cost centers would be categorized as below
1. MFG Cost Centers (In Plant)
2. Service Cost Centers (In Plant)
3. Few Cost centers (outside plant) Eg: Sales, Marketing, Sales offices etc
At period end
1. Allocate the Costs from SER CC to MFG CC using Distribution / Assessment cycle.
This will make SER CC as zero
2. Calculate actual activity price in MFG CC (KSS2 / KSII)
3. After this, do revaluation of PCC using CON2.. This will make balance in MFG CC as zero
4. Allow the Variances to be updated to COPA by ticking the "Variances to Costing based COPA" in your settlement profile
5. In short, what remains for you to allocate to COPA is the 3rd category of CC.. i.e. you should allocate those CC to COPA whose cost is not included in the cost of product using COPC module

Use of Product cost collector in REM

Hi All,
I am new to PP module, I got some doubts when working on costing of the product.
1. In REM scenario why do we need an extra step of creating product cost collector ??
2. when a product is produced will the prod cost collector is used for both debiting(raw and semi) and crediting(finished prod) ?

Dear Reddy,
1.Product cost collector is the cost collecting object for a period based production or in a REM - repetitive manufacturing
scenario.
2.Without having any product cost collector you cannot carryout production confirmation(assembly backflush) for a product.
3.So for all the products for which production confirmation will be declared requires a individual product cost collector.
4.Prior to this you require a production version for the material.
5.Production version and a product cost collector is also the master data for a REM scenario.
Now check and revert back.

CO88 - Collective Settlement Processing for Product cost collectors

Hello Gurus,
I have couple of Settlement related problems. Please advice if you have any solution to fix these problems.
1.We are using CO88 - Collective Settlement Processing for Product cost collectors but some of the cost collectors are not settling fully. Where as the same cost collector settled individually without any problem.
2. Some cost collectors are settled but very small amounts are still there as un-settled.
Thanks in advance.
Vishwanath.

Hi
Welcome to SDN! We hope your 1st experience here is good
Issue 1: It depends on the error that you got at the time of settlement... Many times, when a PCC is being posted to from Production while you are trying to settle, it can give you error...
later on it can be settled w/o any issues
Issue 2: Ideally there does not remain any amount after settlement.. May be the amount which you are seeing pertains to the next month.. You can shift to periodic view using CtrlShiftF11 and see if any balance really exists

Essence of product cost collectors

In REM
what is essence of product cost collector (KKF6n), {As I understand production cost collectors
are cost carrying elements}, but needs to have more insights like how it captures
production costs ( i.e through activities, price maintained in accounting view....)
Does it make any difference if product cost collector is executed before MRP run, or it has
to be executed only after MRP run

Dear Eshwer,
1.Product Cost collector is one of the master data in REM scenario.
2.This product cost collector is no where related to MRP.
3.Product Cost collector is used as a cost object in REM scenario,which means all the cost will be
booked under this product cost collector for that material.
4.Whatever the confirmations that are done in MFBF or MF41 or MF42N,the cost will get debited or
credited accordingly for that material and the impact will be seen in the product cost collector.
5.This product cost collector will be having an order number which will be used for order settlement and
variance calculation.
6.For creating a product cost collector you will require a production version.
7.so whenever you do an assembly or activity or component backflush,the cost will be booked under
this product cost collector.
8.So as such there's no relation between MRP and a product cost collector.
I hope this pints will help you to some extent.
Revert back with your further queries.

REM Product cost collectors and Production version

Hi All,
Can some one pls let me know
What are the product cost collectors in REM and how to create the product cost collectors ?
What is the production version and the difference between production version and controlling version?
Thanks & Regards,
Bujji

Dear Bujji,
A product cost collector is a cost object in Product Cost by Period that collects the periodic actual costs incurred in the production of a material. It can be created in txn KKF6N.
[Product Cosr Collector|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/EN/08/77ba810a1611d3a6b900104b55d538/frameset.htm]
[Product Cost Collectors: Collective Entry for Repetitive Manufacturing |http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/EN/08/77ba810a1611d3a6b900104b55d538/frameset.htm]
A production version determines the various production techniques that can be used to produce a material. It defines the following information:
Alternative BOM for a BOM explosion
Task list type, task list group, and group counter for assignment to task lists
Lot-size restrictions and period of validity
A material can have one or more production versions.
It can be defined in the Material Master (txn MM02) in one of the following views:
MRP 4
Work Scheduling
Costing 1
The costing version is a different issue. It is a costing parameter and is used to save several cost estimates for the same material, with the same costing variant and the same costing date (e.g. in oder to cost the material several times with minor changes without creating new costing variants).

Product Cost Collectors not settled to GL's during Period end Close

Hi,
We are using the repetative manufacturing process. We have an issue with our repetative manufacturing orders, during the monthly period end close.The product cost collectors WIP is not been settled to GL's.
The normal production orders are been settled to the GL's and both use the same settlement profile.
Can anyone suggest where could be the problem?
Thanks,
Srini

Hi,
In the SAP standard (as per the transaction codes indicated by you) it is not possible to include multiple plants. Either you have to execute for one Plant or for all plants. Probably, in Test run you can execute for all Plants and check the results, and then decide.
Thanks
Murali.

Make to Order cost collector

Hello PP Experts
please provide information regarding setting for cost collector against make to order case
I have created one order type for cost collector that is working fine for descrete manufacturing when i create production order through CO01
but when i create order through CO08 then one massage pop up that is no any cost collector found
why cost collector not active in CO08
how can i configure cost collector for sales order based production order (make to order) by Co08
Please Help me in this issue
Prashant

HI Venkat,
Product cost collectors cannot be used for the following objects and production environments:
-Manufacturing orders that settle to a sales order item if you are using a nonvaluated sales order stock in sales-order-related production
-Sales-order-related production with a valuated sales order stock, except in repetitive manufacturing environments
-Engineer-to-order environments
-Manufacturing orders that are part of a collective order
-Joint production

Splitting without product cost collector

Hello All,
Can anybody tell me how a splitting of a existing production order can be done without a product cost collector. i tried splitting but it is doing with product cost collector.
Thank you.
Alok Tiwari

Hi Alok,
This is from SAP documentation:
Costs
Actual costs
The costs of the parent and child orders are collected in a common Product Cost Collector. This is because the parent order, as a rule, has already caused actual costs before the split took place. If the actual costs were collected in the parent order before the split, and separately in the parent/child orders after the split, then the materials of the parent order would have excessively high costs per piece, and the child order correspondingly lower costs. As a result, settlement for each order would result in unwanted variances in controlling.
So, as you can see this is the way he system works, and for good reasons.
Why is that a problem to you?

Bill of material change & Cost collector

Dear All,
In case of our client scenario,they are using REM with standard cost collector.
But the frequency of changing the bill of material is more , So is It necessary to change all the time
product cost collector.
Please suggest.
Thanks In advance
Regards,
Pravin

Hi Pravin,
Hope you are using REM with setting "Backflush with Standard Cost Estimate".
If the BOM Components changes frequently, For settlement the Variance will be more.
Planned Costs will be captured as per Std. Cost estimate, but the Actuals will very considerably.
If it is OK, then there is no need re-run the Std. Cost Estimate regularly.
Hence, your CO consultants role is crucial.
Hope this helps..
Regards,
Siva
