New Cost Component Structure in new Costing Variant

Hi gurus,
i created a new costing variant (to be used for planned prices, for budget purposes), then a new cost component structure.
Now the system (transaction OKTZ) doesn't allow me to assign the new cost component structure to the new costing variant forcing me to mask the costing variant with ++++.
But the aim, for me, is just assigning the new cost component structure to the new costing variant only for a company code and only for a plant.
Does anybody know how i can reach the goal? Am i missing some step?
Thanks in advance for the collaboration,
Best regards
Enrico

Hi Utenza
You can very well achieve this
1. First of all ensure that a masked entry exists i.e. ++++ in Comp Code field, Plant Field, Costing variant Field and assign the Prmary cost comp str here
2. Then, coming to the new costing variant and new cost comp str,
a. Enter ++++ in the comp code field
b. Enter your plant name in the Plant Field (and not ++++)
c. Enter your new costing variant here.. (This should be the costing variant where costing type is not 01)
d. Assign your new cost comp structure here against this costing variant

Cost Component Structure (OKTZ) Issue - Max number of cost fields reached

Hello.
I'm having this issue in OKTZ when adding new cost component in an exisiting cost component structure. it says "maximum number of cost fields reached (40)".
not sure what to do with this.
please see screenshot

Hi Andrew,
When yo create the Cost Components in the Cost Component Structure, inside each Cost Component, there will be properties relating to whether the Cost in that Cost Component is Fixed / Variable, relevant to Inventory Valuation or not etc.
To view these options...Go to OKTZ, select the line of your Cost Component Structure, double click on "Cost Component with Attributes" in the left side navigation. Now, you will be able to see the list Cost Components on right hand side. If you double click on any Cost Component, you will see the properties of that Cost Component.
There, you can see ther radio buttons "Variable Costs" and "Fixed and Variable Costs".
Now, in Standard SAP, you will be able to create a maximum 40 Cost Components. The behaviour of the system goes like this.... If one Cost Component is only "Variable Cost", it will take the space of one Cost Component out of the maximum 40. If one Cost Component is of "Fixed and Variable Costs", then it will take the space of two Cost Components out of the maximum 40. That means, if all of your Cost Components are "Fixed and Variable", then you will be able to create only 20 Cost Components.
You can find the SAP explanation regarding this in the IMG Documentation...
SPROControllingProduct Cost ControllingProduct Cost PlanningBasic Settings for Material Costing--Define Cost Component Structure. Check the IMG Documentation there to find the following text...
Structure of the Cost Components in a Cost Component Split
The cost components are listed in a cost component structure that can contain up to 40 cost components (cost fields).
You can create up to 40 cost components that contain variable costs.
For cost components that contain full costs, the system creates a second cost field for the fixed costs. This means that you can create no more than 20 cost components that are full costs.

Cost component structure - cost elements for FERT and HALB (TC:OKTZ)?

Hi all,
our cost component structure has the following structure (TC: OKTZ):
1 Raw materials
2 Human ressources
3 Production
4 Material Overhead
5 Production overhead
6 external activity
(this settings are conform with SAP standard - copy from cost comp. structure 01)
To cost comp 1 "raw material" we assigend the relevant (primary) cost elements (consumption raw mat, e,g, steel, wood...).
My question is: In case we insert/post e.g. a semi-finished product to the production order from stock (accor. bill of material), where (in which cost comp.) do I have to assign the relevant cost element? I guess this should be the account "inventory change unfinished product? (maintain in TC: OBYC for transaction BSV according val. class)
Is it correct to assign this cost element to cost comp structure "raw material", because actually it is a semi finished product which is picked up from stock to convert /process further? To problem is, if this cost element is not assigned I get an error in CK11N/CK40N
I hope my wording is not to abstract...
Thanks in advance...
best Regards

Hi..
You don’t need to consider the cost element of production order settlement and production notification.
Cost component structure need the cost element of production order’s debit.

OKTZ - Cost Component Structure

Good day.
I have some doubts regarding cost element assignment to the cost component structure. I understand that I should consider those cost elements that represent internal activities, external activities, material costs and overhead, however I am not sure if I shall also consider the cost element of production order settlement and production notification (the latter correspond to the account that credit the production order).
Regards.
Juan

Difference between cost component structure and cost component split

can anyone explain me the difference between cost component structure and cost component split with simple example
thanks
santosh

Hi ,
cost component structure
Definition
Number that identifies the structure.
Use
In Product Cost Controlling, the cost component structure determines how the results of material costing are updated. The cost component structure groups the costs for each material according to cost component (such as material costs, internal activities, external activities, and overhead). If the material is used in the production of another material, the cost component split (which breaks down the costs according to material costs, internal activities, external activities, overhead, and so forth) remains in the system when the costs are rolled up.
In the cost component split, you also define the following for material costing:
Which part of the costs are fixed costs
Which costs are
cost of goods manufactured and what are sales and administration costs
Which costs are relevant for stock valuation, commercial inventory valuation and tax inventory valuation
When the cost component structure is assigned to the organizational units, you can specify that two cost component splits are created:
Main cost component split
This is the principal cost component split, meaning that it is used in the standard cost estimate, which can be used to update the material master. The main cost component split can be a cost component split for cost of goods manufactured or a primary cost component split.
Auxiliary cost component split
This can exist in addition to the main cost component split, and is not used in the standard cost estimate. It can be used for analysis purposes, in that it can be displayed with the cost estimate and passed on to Profitability Analysis.
In Cost Center Accounting, the cost component structure determines how the results of the activity price calculation are updated. The cost component structure groups the costs for each activity type of the cost center according to components (such as material costs and labor costs). If an internal activity allocation is carried out, the cost component split (which breaks down the costs according to material, labor costs, and so forth) is retained at cost rollup.
If the cost component split is not to be retained, you can create a switching structure for the cost component structure for Cost Center Accounting. In the switching structure, you specify which sender cost component goes into which receiver cost component.
<b>require a cost component structure to calculate prices using cost component split.</b>
For each cost component structure you define a component such as energy, personnel, or raw materials. The components combine all costs occuring for a particular cost element area. In this way, you ensure greater cost transparency in activity price calculation when putting together the activity type prices - for example, it becomes easier to find how much of the activity price is taken up by the material costs.
In activity allocation, the cost component structure remains constant, meaning that the receiver takes on the sender cost elements and that the allocated costs are posted in the same cost components in the receiver as in the sender.
A cost component structure can have a maximum of 40 defined cost components.
Cost components are assigned to cost elements. You thereby determine which cost elements go to which rows in the structure, and how these components are updated in price calculation.
Hope ths helps

Impact of Cost component structure on PA Transfer structure in SAP

Hi All,
We were using a single Operating concern and Controlling area for existing company codes. Now, we got a new company to be created all together a new company with the same chart of accounts.
1. We have created Operating concern, COA, Company code..... and then completed the PA Transfer structure of FI-MM in KEI1
2. I have created a new Costing variant in OKKN
3. I have created the Cost component structure in OKTZ and assigned the new company code to it.
When i go back and checked the PA Transfer structure for FI-MM, i see everything showing as blank.
I have no idea the entire config got deleted.
Do you have any idea how it happens and why it happens please?
Also, will there be any relation b/n OKTZ and KEI1 and sequence to customize?
Hope you understand my query.
Appreciate your early response.
Thanks,
Narasimhulu

Hi Ravi,
Thanks for your response.
I have created the FI-MM PA transfer structure for the new Controlling area. But after completing the Cost component structure and came back to check the PA Transfer structure, i was surprised since everything to deleted.
I have no idea if we need to follow a sequence while doing these two activities (KEI1 and OKTZ).
Thanks,
Narasimhulu

Can it be a seperate cost component structure for each company code?

Company Code No 1 Setting:
Company Code XXXX with Chart of accounts X(Quantity + Value updation in material type)
In the existing company code(XXXX) ,Cost component structure is defined as
All company code---->All Plants----> All Costing Variants -
>Cost component Structure AA
Company Code No 2 Setting:
Scenario:
Now I am creating a new company Code YYYY) which is is allowed for quantity updation alone and trying to create a product cost collector to carry out Production confirmation through Repetetive manufacturing (."Error = Cost object component split costed with Value of Zero"
Can it be possible to have a seperate cost component structure for each company Code?
Company Code YYYY with Chart of accounts Y which is different from Company code 1(Quantity alone in material type)
If possible ,Can anybody provide a procedure to do the configuration of Cost Component structure

Hello,
As I understand your question, All the thing which are releted to costing are done only at the controlling area level not at company code.
As your req diffrent cost componenet for diffrent company code is depend up on how you define the controlling area.
Hope it will clear you

Ravi

Cost Component structure field and table names

Hey all,
i need to code a BADI to push value of one column in cost component structure to another column in ccs for only order settlements..
any idea how to do this??
i am very new to abap please take it easy on ur answer..
i coulndt even find in which table and fields these values are stored...
thank you

I have an OSS note, it tells you step by step how to config the badi u need.. but does not mention about the logic u ll use.. it is up to you....
so i need to find the field names and tell take these and post them to these columns...
i dont know if i make any sence, but this is all i need to do...
so i have the body i have the logic but i dunno the import and export fields...
i believe the table is ckmlkeph.... and field that populate the columns are kst0XX, but i cannot see the field name and table name if i select a line in the column and F1 ????

Error message: cost elements have no cost component structure

using transaction KSII for the report; we didn´t change any settings, but we get this warming in the system.
We don´t know what happens, because it was ok in december, but know we have this warning.
The version for the year 2009 is maintained.
Any ideas?

There might be some new cost elements which would incurred actual costs which were not available in 2008 as well as in Cost component Structure.
Anyways try maintaining the cost elements in Cost Component structure.

Cost component structure in copa report

HI Gurus
1We are doing REM Process and costing variant "PREM"
2. We are going for moving average price for all Material type there is no standard cost estimate
3. My client want to see the cost component structure in copa reports like
sales

overehad
selling and distributioh overhead
I have done all necessary setting in costing key
I have done pa trasnfer structre also
But Cost component spill is not happening in copa report
Can we get cost component struture in copa report with moving average price if yes
Please advice me how to geneate the report
Thanks & Regards

Hi Aravind
Thanks for your reply, But in our business process there is not Standard cost estimation,bcoz, Price control in material master is MAP. Can we get cost component strudcture in copa if we are going for MAP in MM.
I have done all the Setting IN KE4R also. But i am unable to see the values in COPA report

Assign the cost component Structure to Plant/Co Code

hi
can u tell how can i assign the COST COMPONENT STRUCTURE TO THE PLANT AND THE CO CODE...
REGARDS

Hi,
This is part of Product costing configuration and done with T-code OKTZ. Here, there is a separate diaglog for Assignment of Org units --> cost component structure.
Here, for a particular co. code and all the plants under this Co. code or for only a certain plants and further to a specific costing variant the assignment is done to the cost component structure effective from certain date.
Good Luck!!!
Thanks and Regards,

Standard Report for Materials Cost Component Structure - PO Condition Type

Dear experts,
We are using below cost component structure (CCS) for materials:
- Direct materials
- import duty
- import handling
In which, all those above CCS are achieved through below condition type in Purchasing Info Record. When doing the standard cost estimate through costing run, we have successfully grouped all those condition types into their respective CCS. The problem is, while executing the standard report of "result of costing run" (S_ALR_87099930), the sytem groups all those three CCS into CCS "Direct materials" only.
I have tried different standard layouts, but still got no way to show all those CCS separately in the standard report.
Please kindly suggest what approach should i take
Thank you very much
BR, Erwin
@edit
Solved.

Hi
Check cost elements assigned to structure. For this go to transaction code OKTZ and select your CCS and double click on Assignment Cost Component-Cost element interval.

Error in product costing cost component structure with quantity...

Dear sap gurus
I am creating material cost estimation with quantity structure while doing in T CODE CK11N the following error is coming Message no. 213 Cost component structure z9 is not active. But I am not using the particular Cost component structure z9. I am using the standard Cost component structure 01 and I have activated it at OKTZ and the z9 is deactivated. Plz, tell me where I can fix this error
Awaiting for you kind reply.
Naveen

Hai MoH
Thanks for yuor reply, yes you are correct. i have checked in OKKN where i found that the cost component structure z9 is assigned to my co. code that is not mine i am using the standard cost componet structure. plz, tell me where i should go and change the assignment plz, give the T.CODE

Cost component structure in CO-OM Reporting

Hi there,
we want to run cost center reports, that show us the balance on a cost center per primary cost element, after we have allocated some of the costs from the cost center into production orders.
I thought this can be achieved by having the tariffs we use for the internal activity allocation been broken into their cost component structure so that on the cost center, the respective primary cost elements are debited by the activity allocation.
However, this is not happening in my system. While the activity tariffs are correctly calculated with a component split (according the 1SKS-001 report), the standard cost center report still shows the debit on the cost center with the secondary cost element of the activity.
Does this mean I cannot see the component split of my activities in normal OM reporting?
Thanks
Kai

Hi
Make cost splitting structure and assigne to Production Cost Center.
Run Cost splitting KSS2 for cost splitting according to activity types.

Cost Component Structure - expand or further second view

Hello experts,
I have a cost component structure with 40 elements. Now I need 5 further elements, but without changing existent variable / fix components.
One idea is to build a 2nd component structure as "cost component split". But how I implement a second view, what are the steps watching the other structure in customer calculation, or CO PA?
Thanks for help!
Regards Juergen

Oh yes, I forgot about the Limit... You can check for any available OSS notes.,.
As far as I know, the upper cap is 40 and SAP does not allow more.. It makes sense to me that having cost components more than that is difficult to handle
Can you think of revamping your CCS?
