ML actual costing peculiar behaviour

Hi,
I just try ML actual costing in Sandbox system. Earlier I was able to track material transactions in actual costing ckm3. Now, I am not able to see material movements in ckm3 after running SAPRCKMJX and CKMSTART.
I tried to create a PO and subsequent goods receipt. It has been posted in financial books. but goods receipt transaction doesn't appear in ckm3. What went wrong I am sure.
Can any one explain. I checked my actual costing configurations it was right. I am not using movement types in ML but quantity structure. B+ V+
Any one explain this?
Cheers,
Ashok

Hi Ashok,
This is strange, it seems to be an inconsistency. Did you check if the material is inconsistent with transaction CKMC?
Other possible reason can be that there is an inconsistency with the cost estimate number.
If you have the ML Helpdesk (note 364368) installed in your system you can verify this with program MLHELP_CHECK_MULTIPLE_CKMLHD.
If this doesn't help you I recommend you to open a oss message to invesitage the problem in the system.
Regards,
MLM

Raw Material Costing with Actual Cost Component Split

Hi All
I have requirement to split inventory RM Value with material component and Freight cost, all config done and looks well if I check at CKM3N cost component view, material cost $100 and Freight $20, I GR the inventory with freight cost, since I'm using actual costing when journal freight cost go to Price Difference account. But after actual costing closing why the system can't split the variance update to freight cost component? is this the standard SAP behaviour?
Please help for the solution
Regards
Luiz

I see that you want to split your material cost and freight cost. you need to check the following:
Is your current standard cost estimate support this structure i.e do you have seperate cost components for RM and Freight.
If not first you need to change cost component structure and as mentioned by owen you to map the purchase condition type to the origin group and cost component structure.
Then system will do the same for the actual costing

Report for bom wise target and actual cost as well as qty at line item

Dear Experts,
Is there any standard tcode for bom wise target and actual cost as well as qty at line item level for the month.
there is one tcode s_alr_87013127 but user has to double click in order to get line item details.
I want to see line item wise breakup/bom wise target and cost cost as well as qty.
Thanks in advance.

Dear experts,
I am still looking for a revert.

Actual Cost of finished goods in MIGO

Hi,
The value of Finished material in FI Document generated in MIGO takes the (Goods Receipt Quantity) X (Planned/Moving average Price from material master), Where as it should take the Total Actual Price calculated after Order Confirmation Based on Actual Material Purchase Price & Actual Activity Posting Value.
For example:
Present scenario
Material-> MIGO QTY>Moving Avg Price -->MIGO FI Document Value
Finished> 1000 EA> Rs. 10/ EA--
>Rs. 10,000=00
Required Scenario:
MIGO FI Document value= (Purchase Value of Raw Material)+ ((Activity Posted while Confirmation)X(Activity price))
Thanks.

Hi,
What u said is right Mr Kapil.. See when u do GR From Production Order System Calculate Moving Price or Planned Price from
material Matser .
As per ur Reuirement u told it should calculate (Raw Material Price + activity+OVHD).
it is possible only when order quantity is less , suppose say your order qty is 150 mt per day and your Plant capacity is 500mt
per day production will be done in a half day, sale can be done on same day after Production with the formula what u told.
If suppose say , Your order is 2000 ton of Oil , it will take u to complete 4 days for your Total production as you told, GR should
be done on (Raw Material Price + activity+OVHD) formula, you dont know exact activity price for 2000 ton until u finish your total
production, at the same time until u do GR sales cannot be done. So in SAP Gr is intially done on Moving Average Or Planned
(Standard Price) , After totla Prodcution GR is Compared with Actual Cost(Raw Material Price + activity+OVHD)= :"Variance".
Plus are MInus is Reduced or added to Finished Goods Account or PP account during Settlement.
If any wrong Pls Correct me Experts,
Pavan

Posting Actual Costs at Material Level

Hi All
For our standard costs we will have BOM Components, Activities from Routings and additive costs. We also have activated Material Ledger and will use it for Actual Costing, the objective being that each and every actual cost will be brought to the SKU level. For BOM components and activities that is no problem since it will be done through settlement.
However for cost components that have additive costs how do we settle them to the material ledger? Do we need to do MR22 for difference between standard and actual? Is there a way to do this through a template allocation or some other allocation method?
Thank you

Hi
Lets assume, you have Std cost of 100 USD involving Material + Labor and an additive cost of 10 USD entered manually from CK74N...
During production order processing - You would issue material components and confirm Labor hrs... Say, this amounts to 120 USD as against the std cost of 100 USD...
However, in prod orders, there will be nothing posted against the additive std cost of 10 USD... If you wish, you need to post it either through template allocation from some cost centers or use some assessment cycle or transfer manually from KB11N or use a costing sheet

Break Up of Actual Costs in a report for list of orders

Hi All,
SAP standard reports displays only the total planned & total actual costs.
Is there any standard report available which can display break up of planned & actual costs along with total costs, for list of orders (e.g: time, material and external resources consumption).
Thanks in advance
JK

hi
you can find the material cost,external service etc in the standard cost report itself select the change layout and select the items you want to display ,you can get the result

PS (plan vs actual costs) Report

Hi,
I have to generate the above report. How can I diffrentiate between Plan cost and actual cost. Is there any business contect report for this ? can anybody throw light on this.
Regards,
Bill

Hi Bill,
There is no std content for this as far as I know , Not sure if your report is based on cost for a given version then its really a mystery . If you are looking to pull the cost for PS then check the table RPSCO in r3 , this is the PS cost table , and you can differentiate Plan/Actual based on the Field Value type .
hope this helps ,

Report painter/writer for actual cost component split

Hello Gurus,
Any of you guys ever explored possibility of creating a report using report painter or writer that can give both Standard and Actual cost component splits in one report? Is it even possible without custom ABAP involvement?
Thanks
RG

Hi Raghu,
After your reply, I am getting a doubt..
Have you Activated Material Ledger? When you say Actual Cost Component Split, are you talking about it what you get in Actual Costing/Material Ledger?
If yes, then you can map your cost compnents for Actual Costing in the path SPROControllingProfitability AnalysisMaster Data Valuation--Setup Valuation using Material Cost Estimate -- Define Access to Actual Costing / Material Ledger
Further, there are no standard reports available in COPA. Try to build a report comprising two columns, 1st column with the value fields which are mapped for Standard Cost Components and 2nd column with the Value Fields which you have assined for Actual Costing under the above path.
You will be able to get the comparison...
Pls don't hesitate to call me for further assistance....

PS - Report on Planned v/s actual cost of the project

Hi,
I have a client requirement on the above subject. In Report S_ALR_87013542, Under actual cost the system is taking both the Revenue and Actual cost booked on the project. Is there any other report wherein the system shows only the actual cost booked on the project so that planned V/s Actual can be compared.
Rgds,
Prasad

Hi,
You can also refer the report S_ALR_87013543 - Actual/Plan/Variance Absolute/Variance %. This will give the reports based on cost elements. Morever plan cost Vs actual cost can be obtained from Project Infosystem report (CN41/ CNS41).
In fact the report S_ALR_87013533 is a hiecherachical report for plan & actual cost of project.
If the system is calculating wrongly both revenue & actual cost under actual then you need to check Cost elements asignments & value category details.
Hope this will help you.

Planned vs Actual Cost Report (with variance) for PM Orders

Hi Experts,
We are using the project system to collate order costs for annual shut work. We have a requirement for a report to show 25% variance between planned and actual order costs (maintneance order).
At this stage, we dont mind whether this is implemented in the the PM system, or the PS system.
This is a fairly basic / common requirment. Are there any standard transactions we could use to:
1. Select a list of orders using standard selection criteria.
2. Select a % for variance, e.g. 25%
3. Display a list of orders where the planned vs actual costs were greater than 25% and what the actual variance is for each order?
Thanks,
Maikel

Hi Maikel,
I have never seen any such scenario, but the best thing that can come to me is for the shut down activities you muct have created a Revision, then based on that Revision you can take a dump of all the orders with Planned and Actual Cost, in the excel, and there by putting the formulae you can definitely have the Varience report.
Hope it helps you.

Breakdown of COGS into ACTUAL cost components

Hello,
I am looking to design a product cost report which gives breakdown of COGS into actual cost components. We use moving average cost for all materials (purchased as well as manufactured) in a make to order environment.
For example:
Sales order - Shipped material A at COGS $100.
Process order # 1 produced material A using input material B and a series of operations defined in a recipe.
Process order # 1 costs: Input material B - $70
Operations cost - $30
Process order # 2 produced material B using raw material C and a series of operations.
Process order # 2 costs: Input material C - $40
Operations cost - $30
So, the results should look like COGS 100 comprise of $ 40 material cost and $ 60 operations cost.
I understand standard cost estimates can be linked to CO-PA fields to get cost component structure. But, we don't use standard costing. We use CO-PA which gives COGS.
Is there something similar to cost estimate to calculate as above? Or, this is a custom development.
Thanks in advance for any pointers / advice?

Getting diffrent Actual cost from 0PM_OM_OPA_2 to 0pm_c01 and 0pm_c07

Hi All,
I am using BI report for plan and actual cost deviation of Work order(maintenance order) of PM(tcode iw33>cost tab>plan actual cost to check),
question there is 2 query for this plan actual cost deviation, one on 0pm_c01(Maintenance Orders - Costs and Allocations) and second on 0PM_C07 Maintenance Orders: Scheduling, datasource is common 0PM_OM_OPA_2 for actual cost population in this cubes, BUT update rule are diffrent for both target,
in 0pm_c07 its getting update by 0pm_ds04(dso) where we are getting only Actual cost with Debit(S) Entery(as debit(S) entery hardcoded at start routine in update rule from this datsource to 0pm_ds04), for report on 0pm_c07actual cost is matching with standard ecc report MCI8 - PMIS: Cost Analysis.
in 0pm_c03 we are getting all Actual cost entry both Debit(S) and Credit(H), getting actual cost total as debit minus credit entry at cube 0pm_c03 and hence getting same on report on that, this report is same as like report on 0pm_c07.
both report are calculating Actual vs Plan cost relation ship, but one report(on 0pm_c07) have only debit(S) entry while other report(on 0pm_c03) have both Debit and Credit entery, So getting diffrent Actual cost at both report hence diffrent Actual VS plan Cost relationship from both report,
Both are standard report given by SAP, Now which report we have to take it as correct one? which report is right?
Regards,
Dushyant.

Hi,
Sorry, In my pain post whereever i written 0pm_c03 is wong its 0pm_c01,
as u said ur query on 0pm_c01 works fine? are u getting Debit(S) and credit(H) both entery for actual cost in this cube?
as in 0pm_c07 we are gettin only debit(S) entery and this report matching with standard ecc reprot( as i mentioned in main post ) BUT for 0pm_c01 its have both S and H entery. if ur actual/plan cost report on 0pm_c01 have S and H entery for actual cost than with ECC report you are reconciling?

Fixed and Variable Breakup of Actual Cost

We have implemented Material ledger and also activated actual cost component split. We are getting the actual product cost at month end. In the costing cockpit we get the Peiodic unit price(Actual cost) as well as std price of the material. But In costing cockpit we are not able to get the breakup of Fixed and variable. Whereas we are getting Fixed and varible breakup when we check cost component report in ckm3. But there, we can see individual material wise fixed and varibale breakup.
Can anybody help me so that I can see the Actual Fixed and variable cost for all the products at a time?
With regards
Mukesh Poddar

Fixed price, is the fixed costs - I usually see it in relation to Overhead..
Fixed costs remain, whether you manufacutre or not.
Say you are deciding whether to out-source an assembly, If you outsource, VARIABLE cost will be saved, Material, labor for that assembly, Overhead representing fringes for that labor, the electricity to run that specific machine. However, you will still have fixed costs of: Management Salary (although some of that can be variable); insurance on the building; heating and cooling for the building; realestate taxes.
If the cost to make "in house" is 150 each and the vendor is going to charge you 100, thi is only a true saving if your fixed costs are less than 50.
SAP allows you to separate fixed and variable costs so that you do make/buy analysis, budgeting, etc
Hope this helps

Actual cost process

Hello to all! I wanted to know if somebody can help me with costs of OPM. I am working in a test instance and I will make inventory transactions: Purchase receptions, Transfer among werehauses, inventory adjustments. As well as, to report in WIP of production batches. I have ready standard cost of each item and I want to know if it is enough to copy it at the current cost before beginning to make the transactions and calculate actual costs or I have to make some other process.

Hi
I am not sure what the purpose or itention is and hence the question becomes a bit unclear. Could you please elaborate on what is it that you want to achieve. You mention about actual cost and then you say you have standard cost available

Report to see the actual cost and Revenue..

Hi all,
My Sales Cycle is Sales Order --> Delivery --> PGI --> Invoice --> and Accounting.
When we do the PGI GOGS account entries will generate,
When we do the Invoice Revenue and customer account entries will generate.
Now my customer wants to see the total Actual cost as well as total revenues in a single report (Sales order wise).
Is there any Standard report availble for this?????
Thanks and Regards,
SUBBU..

Hi,
You will have to use LIS and develop a std or flexible analysis to develop this report.
