Missing Labor Cost during distribution

Dear Dina,
Oracle HRMS is not tracking the Contingent workers salary info.OTL not in picture.In this scenario, in oracle projects Contingent labor hours being updated.
Rate schedule does not contain contingent labor hourly cost....
How to go about it....is it advisable to stop entering contingent labor hours from projects or Supplier cost interface wud get the cost to projects...Pls help me...
Thanks a lot in advance...

Hi
It is not clear what is the exact scenario and what are the requirements.
Oracle does support a solution that integrates HRMS, Purchasing (service procurement), OTL and Projects. With that solution, the labor hours are costed based on the hourly rate defined on the purchase order. The labor transactions are the source for automatically creating a supplier invoice, that you have to pay. The generated supplier invoice should not go back to Projects.
If you don't have OTL, you might mimic the solution by some customizations. If you are not using the service procurement of Purchasing designed for contingent workers, then you would need to build an entire custom solution.

DBM labor cost in the pricing

Dear Friends,
We plan to use DBM Time Management . When the technician clocks in time, the labor cost hits the internal order correctly. But, the same cost doesn't hit my labor cost condition type in the pricing. Due to this, my profit center in the billing is wrong.
What am I missing here? Couldnt find any documentation regarding this
Appreciate your help
Best regards,
Shafi

Hi
if you want to have your profit margin on the SD order 100% accurate this is the only way but this will have a big impact on performance. As normally labor rates don´t differ so much I would recommend to create a condition type where you maintain the average labor rate. This gives you a profit margin as well but not as accurate.
In CO PA you get the right figures but normally you don´t do this order level

Product cost during order entry

Hi,
Is it possible to enter the product cost during production order order entry, if yes possible please guide me.
sateesh

Production Order is more a logistics function. Whenever there is a requirement for a product to be produced an order is created to facilitate capturing the actual materials and labor issued to the order. Order creation could happen throughout the year.
The standards are generally set at the begining of the year, in some cases even monthly during the budgeting process. This sets up the standard cost which will serve as a standard for production orders wherein the variances are calculated against this standard and monitored.
Standard costs can be set only once for a period. Hence, standard costs are not set during production order entry.

Labor Cost - PM Order

Hi PM Gurus,
For my PM Orders Operations I use employees to report time. I just need to know where and how to set the automatic account posting for the labor costs. Please explain.
Cheers

Hi Andrew/Kedar,
There are two things we are talking here the labour cost posting happening to Order and the final settlement to G/L. Both things are totally different from FI and CO perspective.
For labour posting to Order:
1.Define a Cost Center - KS01(which is assigned to Work center)
2.Define a Activity type - KL01
3.Define a Cost Element - KA01. This CE is secondary CE of type 43 - Internal Activity Allocation. You assign this CE in Activity type defined above.(Usually you dont have one to one relationship between CCtr and CE, so you dont assign Cctr on Cost ement)
4.Using KP26 you define the rates of Cost Ctr and Activiy type combination.
5.Whenever time is confirmed, the rate is picked up from KP26 and cost is posted on Order. If you see the Cost element report, this cost will be reported against the CE of type 43, defined above.
FI/CO postings
When you confirmation the Cctr on Work Ctr gets credited and the Order gets debited with the cost.
For settlement to Cctr from Order
1.This is a CO settlement. We are transferring Order cost to an Cost center, which is CO posting or internal posting
2.In this case we need a secondary Cost Element of type 21 as a settlement cost element, which is defined in your allocation structure of settlement profile. The settlement cost element could also be debit cost element, in this case you dont need to specify settlement CE.
3.When you do the settlement the Order gets credited and the Settlement Cctr gets debited with that cost.
Kedar - For your question
1.If Settlement Cctr and Work Cctr Cost ctr are same
In this case , since the source and trget Cctr are same, the Ccts gets credited initially and Order is debited. When you settle from Order to CCtr again the Order is credited and Cctr is debited. So the same is CCtr is credited first and then debited.
2.If Settlement Cctr and Work Ctr are different
In this case, the source CCtr (Work ctr Cost Ctr) is credited and Order debited with labour cost. During settlement Order is credited and Settlement Cctr is debited.
Hope this clears your doubt.
Thanks

Re: Freight Cost during MIRO

Dear All,
Need help...I configured the following steps in order to capture freight cost during MIRO. but during MIRO,
the GL account captured/defaulted to freight cost is same as the expense accnt instead of the freight cost account..
eg. Expense -1111
      Freight   -2222
      Vendor - 3333
Created 1 PO and maintain the ff:
PO is 1 line item 1pc=1000
ZFR1 - Condition type for Freight cost = 200
At the time of MIRO ( we dont have GR processing),the screen display 2 line item for the expense and freight cost but the GL account defaulted in the freight cost is same as expense account instead of the freight account. then if do a simulate, the following are the entry (which is wrong)
Vendor   1111                 1200
Expense   3333              1000(-)
Expense   3333                200(-)          * supposed to charge to my freight accnt 2222
below step i configured.
created new condition type ZFR1 (copying std FR1B)
put B- Delivery cost and tick 'Accrual' in the settings
maintain transaction event ZFR and posting key
assigned GL acccount to ZFR
include the condition type ZFR1 in the calculation schema, put ZFR in the field 'accrual'
Appreciate all your advise. many thanks in advance.

Hi,
Check your OBYC settings whether you have assigned the correct GL for the new trans Key.

Functional Area derivation as obligatory checkbox in Cost Center distribution cycle?

Dear All,
We are using Cost of Sales accounting with FI-CO online integration. Derivation of Functional Area for Cost Center assessment cycles is an obligatory indicator. Nevertheless I may create Cos Center distribution cycles without this option (what affects FI-CO online integration). Can anybody explain a system logic behind it?
Can I set Functional Area derivation as an obligatory checkbox for Cost Center distribution cycles too?
Bartlomiej Seidel

Hi,
I have searched for any useful note, but without result so far. The point is that any new distribution or assessment cycle (cost centers) in our company must work with Functional Area derivation (than FI-CO online integration works correctly). With our current SAP setup I must select this indicator for every assessment cycle - it is obligatory. But is not obligatory for distribution cycles - and I don't know why?
I would like to protect everybody from crating distribution cycles without FA derivation indicator (like it works now for assessment cycles). How may I do it?
Bart

Settling Labor costs

Hi Experts,
How do you settle any labor costs. I have created a secondary cost element and tied it an activity type. In the work order I enter 2 hours of this activity. Can I settle these costs from a secondary cost element to a primary one?
Thanks

HI,
once it is secondary cost you cannot bring it back to primary cost.
Best regards, Christian

Product costing during sales order entry

Dear Experts,
Pricing Condition EK02 can calculate the actual cost during sales order entry. If the product costing will be activated for each and every order line item for calculating the actual cost EK02 automatically, does this have any down falls to the system performance or anything apart from this ?
Looking for the expert opinion in this regard.
Thanks
Anil

Hi Allan,
Ideally if the number of line items would be less than 10 during order entry. Do you think is there any impact because of the costing run for each and every line item ?
Looking for your response.
Thanks,
Sanjay

Effect of Cost Center Distribution in COPA

Hi,
We are running the cost center distribution to transfer the cost from one cost center to another cost center.It is creating the controlling document but in COPA reports the cost is not getting transfered from one cost center to another. How can we transfer the cost from one cost center to another with the subsequent effect in COPA.
Thanks
Ariel

Hi Ariel,
when you refer to the cost center in COPA, are you talking about the field "sender cost center"?
That field shows the costs center that the costs came from when they were transferred from cost center to COPA through an assessment cycle (KEU5). When you transfer costs from one cost center to another AFTER running the assessment cycles in KEU5, then that transfer cannot have any effect on COPA. You would have to first transfer from one cost center to the other and THEN run the COPA assessment in KEU5.
I hope I have understood your question correctly

Material & Labor Cost separate in Report

Hi Experts,
i have some list of orders now i want to track the Material and labor cost separately.
Is there any standard report for the same.
Regards,
Kavvya

Normally cost analysis is done by order type wise, plant wise & palnner group wise with respect to technical object(FL/Equipment). If you club all order then you will not have any meaning ful analysis. As such one report for material consumption(goods movmt in order) is there -IW3M.
You will have to develop customise report (use table PMCO)
