Monthly Material Usage Variance

Hi All,
We have a Z report for Monthly Material Usage Variance for reporting.
The SAP Material Variance report is not calculating the Material Usage Variance Quantity & Value correctly for production order that have a target quantity and actual quantity that are equal to each other. In this case, the MUV quantity should be equal to 0. Instead a MUV Quantity is calculated and this results in a MUV value being calculated.
Please give your suggestions.
Quick response will be appreciated & points will be assigned.
Thanks & Regards

Hi Venkat & Amiya,
Thanks for your quick response.
I am not able to execute the report right now, as this is a month end report and executed in background on the month end only (on 30th or 31st of every month).
Kindly, let me know, is there any other way to find the bug in the program in this scenario or is there any way to execute the report in between periods.
Quick response will be appreciated.
Thanks & Regards.

Material Usage Variance

Hi Experts
Can somebody tell me how to see material usage variance in sap?
regards,
Sohel

Hi
1. for a particular order, use T code KKBC_ORD... Or you can also see in CO03 (for prod order) or COR3 (for process order)
You can change the layout and plug in columns like Price var, Usage Var, etc
Then you can see each category of variance per material...
2. If you want to see for group of production orders, then use T code KKBC_HOE.. For this you need to do some IMG settings to maintain summarization hierarchies

How can I monitor my monthly data usage for all 3 computers in my house? I have an Airport base station and it seems there should be software to monitor it from that point rather than monitoring the usage for each computer and then adding it up.

Material usage change

Hello everyone,
I have to change a purchase order, the material usage is wrong, but this field is not able to change. This purchase order is released, is it because of that?
If so, is there another way to change the material usage?
Thanks in Advance

Hello, all!
For this case , multiple usage you have to use split valuation functionality, I always use this solution to solve this very comum situation in Brazil. Using split valuation you can have more then one valution types for the same material and as each valuation type has your own Accounting view on material maaster per each valution type you can associate a differnet usage.
For example: you can have a valuation type called Resale, other Consumption, other Industrailization, and other Investment, and each one have usage:0, 2, 1 and 3 as follow.
But if you already have SAP impleted in your company , to activate split valuation is possible ( I already did and was a sucess) but it is very hard and complex, and if you have not a good control, ABAP development and plan management, can have a risk.
Beacaus it is necessary close(mark for deletion) all PO, delete all SO, production order w/out delivery quantity and no inventory available.

Error 06206: Effective price lower than material price (variance 30.00 %)

Hello Experts,
I've maintained the tolerance limit as 30% for my company code and tolerance key 'PE'.
Even though I try to create a Purchase Order with the same effective price as the material price (no variance), still it gives me the following error:
"Effective price lower than material price (variance > 30.00 %) Message no. 06206"
However, I get this error only for Import vendors and not for Domestic vendors.
I'm using same currency (INR) in Purchase Order for Import vendor as for Domestic vendor.
I've debugged the code to find where exactly and why it throws that error but have been unsuccessful. When I reach METHOD pbo_finished, deep structure my_pushed_message already has the error message ID 06 and number 206 stored in it.
Seeking Experts' help!
BR//
Anish

since you are getting effective price lower than material price, your PO appears to be at a lower value. This may be since the total is not carried to the appropriate field. pl check whether Subtotal column is having S entry
if its an error, in attributes of system messages change to warning

Customization for Material Usage for Brazil Country

Dear Experts,
Is it possible to define new Material Usages (apart from 0,12 & 3) in customization? Where in SPRO we can define this. Or atleast is it possible to change the description of the Material Usages in SPRO. We have business requirement to change the description of this Material Usage printed in PO Print out using SmartForms.
Thanks in advance for your solutions for this.

What is Dynamic Usage Variance in ML?

Hi Experts,
What is Dynamic Usage Variance in ML? How does it effect the Periodic Unit Price calculated at the end of the period?
Regards
Srikanth Munnaluri

Hi,
Distribution of usage variances specially comes in scenarios like Physical Inventory checkup and its adjustments to derive the actual costing.
Physical Inventory documents generally posted to adjust the physical inventory and the inventory as per sap. These total adjustments have to be made based on the quantity consumed on each order. Ofcourse this scenario is project specific.
This ensures auto consideration at the time of determination of periodic unit rate in actual cost run. These adjustments will revaluate the consumption.
This dynamic usage variance is applicable both for the inventory and for activity rates.
U have to maintain the following configuration-
Controlling>Product Cost Controlling>Actual Costing-->Activate Distribution of Consumption Differences
Once these settings are in place, u have to run either some or all of the following--
CKMDUVACT - Distribution of Activity Differences
CKMDUVMAT - Distribution of Inventory Differences
CKMDUVREC - Enter Actual Activity Quantities
if u want view the differences before executing above transactions, u can view by using
CKMDUVSHOW - Display Inventory and Activity Differences

MC44: material usage value affected by factory calendar

Hi Gurus,
I've got the following problem: on my 4.6c R3 production instance factory calendar had been setup as 7 working days a week but recently the need was to change it to 5 working days a week due to the introduction of route calculation to determine correct dates for the sales orders.
We changed the factory calendar (which did deliver the correct result for the sales orders) only to discover that the "Usage" value determined for the materials by MC44 got totally wrong (usage with the 5 working days calendar was approximately 30 to 50% LESS than with the 7 days working calendar !!)
As soon as we did restore factory calendar back to 7 working days a week MC44 was again fine (obviously sales orders date got wrong...).
My impression is that everything is based on the way data from table MVER is determined depending on the factory calendar (which is apparently driven by function module DATE_CONVERT_TO_FACTORY_DATE).
I guess I could change from customizing the calendar for the shipping point: in that case my expectation is that sales orders date should be fine as well as results from MC44 but I'm not totally sure about that.
Any idea ? Do you know which is the way table MVER is populated based on the calendar settings ?
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Enrico

Hi Jurgen,
from the logical point of view sounds reasonable but....
1) even if I didn't fully debug the program (otherwise I guess I would know the answer ) looks like MVER is the only one considered in terms of usage
2) even if you forget point 1 (I could obviously be wrong) you're missing one information that I didn't mention: our usage (or consumption if you prefer) is 98% done from Monday to Friday; sometimes we do something on Saturday but this is kind of an exception.
Based on the above, despite the factory calendar is setup on 7 working days a week, our material usage is basically done on 5 working days a week. Described this way you'll immediately understand that, even if the program reads the data based on the number of working days, changing the calendar from 7 to 5 should cause a decrease of only 2-3%, in our case changing the factory calendar from 7 to 5 working days is causing a decrease of 30% to 50%.
I believe the program is reading the table in a different way based on the factory calendar, I'll try to give you an example:
      Day     Usage
01   Mon       10
02   Tue        20
03   Wed      30
04   Thu        40
05   Fri          50     ---> total week 1 far 150
06   Sat         2
07   Sun        0      -
> total of the weekend 2
08   Mon       100
09   Tue        200
10   Wed        300
11   Thu       400
12   Fri        500     -
> total week 2 1500
13   Sat        6
14   Sun       0        -
> total of the weekend 6
For the 2 weeks, factory calendar 7 working days a week, total usage would be 1658.
In your case, switching to 5 working days a week, it should deliver usage only for Monday to Friday, which is 1658 - (2+6)=1650    (i.e. difference is peanuts)
As I said, I couldn't get to the end of the debug, but my impression was that, switching to 5 working days a week (based on the above example) the program would read 10 "days" so from Monday 01 to Wednesday 10, in that case the total would be 1658 - (4005006) = 752 (now difference is huge...).
So...... maybe main question could be: which is the way MVER is populated ?
Best regards,
Enrico

Raw material usage adjustment

Dear Gurus,
I have a question regarding the proper way to handle an adjustment for our ore usage. Our BOM for cell feed consists of two types of ore, 29% S1000056 (Australian-BHP) and 71% (African HM);
On 1-18-2012 the BHP ore usage was suspended and will be reinstated as of midnight tonight. I have the total BHP tons which (thru today) which need to be returned to stock and HM which need to be issued. My question is what tcode is the correct choice to do this. Since its month end close they need this to be done asap. Kindly help.
Thanks,
Raths

Hi,
A) Cleanest procedure would be to reverse the production postings, and reenter them with manual adjustment of the consumption quantities.This way the data is also correct for dependant data. eg. Product Costing Variance reports.
B) Quick Solution would be to do Inventory procedure for the 2 materials (MI01 etc).
C) If such a situation is likely to arise again, alternative BOMs should be created so that the posting can be correctly made at source.
Kind regards

After a month of usage, Helix has been a total disaster to me.

I bought Helix 16th of last month. It was the first day of release of Helix in Korea. I made a payment on 16th, and recieved the package on 17th.
The first one had a failing battery, and I had to replace it from the day one. Strangely these things happened to me quite often before, so I just thought **bleep** happened and went over it.
During the first weekend, My new Helix started to develop strange symptom. it had a ghost touch on the middle of the screen. At first it happened when I was holding it with my one hand. In-spec, only a **bleep**ty engineering, I thought at first, but over the weekend it developed and by tuesday it was virtually unusable. I sent in the device again, and I had it replaced for the second time. After 2 weeks of usage(a very frustrating one, due to those KB battery failure issues and crashing OSs), the phantom touch came back, this time, even worse.
I sent in my new machine earlier this week. They said they couldn't get me a replacement anymore, because I had it for over a month already(It was a month and a day, and that day had to be delayed because the previous day was f*****g sunday. BTW, I had it for two weeks, the rest of the time you guys had it.). They did offer a repair, and the replacement part was also defective, and had to be ordered again. Now I am even starting to forget that I even had a Helix at all.
I purchased 3Years TPP warranty, and I bought LCD protection film for every Helixs I got. The transportation cost to service center and for replacements weren't cheap(I wanted to get things solved fast and used quick courier services. Never knew I was only calling for other problems every single time). I think I spent like additional 500 dollars on this machine, only to get more and more frustration over time. I don't think I can handle this in-service-for-a-month-for-two-weeks-of-usage for the next three years, and I decided to bail out. As soon as I get the repaired machine, I am going to sell it. Of course it won't get payed well,(who would want to buy a used and repaired machine?) and I will probably lose enough money to buy another laptop. but I think it will save me a hell lot of money in the end.
I've been always on the defending side when people were complaining that Lenovo is destroying ThinkPad values, and I was a tenacious one. But only after a course of a month, I think I'll turn to the other side. It's never an easy thing to change a person's stance, and Lenovo sure proved they could.
If you cannot convince a user to stop leaving his old laptop in his office as a backup for the new machine, it doesn't quite qualify as a business machine. You don't even have to say if he actually had to use that Backup, and even more so if he had to use that backup more than the new one.
To anyone who is keeping the Helix, good luck, and god bless you.

I don't know...but considering the massive number of complaints on malfunctioning Helixs on this forum, I don't think anyone could dare to be 100% sure that one will get a perfect Helix.
In my case, I decided to Give up on Helix and wait for...I don't know, X240T, maybe? Thinking of the limited options when looking for a device with high-res display and a Wacom digitizer, I don't think I could be able to make up my mind anytime soon. This I can be sure about, however: Lenovo will never have any advantages over all other makers in my list from this time on(yeah, that list include those cheap makers that stamp out dispensable laptops like Haier, or Hasee.)
In general, ThinkPad Helix is a good example of a tragic outcome of solid concept that cannot possibly fail(i7 processor with 8GB ram, with Wacom Digitizer, a KB dock with battery, and you can even flip the docking direction. How could it fail?), that has met with a horrible, horrible execution.
If Lenovo was trying to present their idea of ThinkPad's new DNA through the Helix, then their Double Helix is nothing but a pitifully deformed, inferior one that will not survive the natural selection.

Can someone tell me how am I suppose to use my iPad if I have to pay as you go data service which has already cost me $75 for the first month of usage due to not enough GB's usage.

AT&T and Apple is going to cause people to look elsewhere in order to obtain services to operate their products which might not affect Apple all that much but AT&T may suffer a little bit and apple needs to go ahead provide the means for various ways to connect their devices through AT&T rather than forcing their customers to be locked in to paying an extreme amount of money for service.

IF you're using more than 2GB per month, you have the wrong device for online service. It's unclear as to how you are using the iPad. If you're at home most of the time, you should be using wifi instead. Much cheaper for extensive data streaming. If you're instead out and about, knock off the video/audio streaming.
If you go into System Preferences/Usage/Cellular Usage, it will show you exactly where you are. I strongly suggest you "zero" out the counter at the start of your monthly data plan and then monitor it from time to time.
