Order settelement without standard cost estimate

Hello,
My Scenario MTS,
Client doest not want to take Cost roll up (Standard cost estimate run) the price control code 'S' for all the Finish goods, Semifinish
and raw materials.
In this how to handle order settelment , variance calculation without standard cost estimate.
Please provide configuration steps also.

Hi,
Can you let us know why your client does not want to update the std. cost price for a material?
One of the key reasons for implementing SAP or any ERP system is to monitor the cost & value flows within the organization. Unless there is some compelling business need for it, you should strongly advise your client to go for costing of parts / assemblies.
However if no costing is done & the std. price is '0' then if the activities have prices maintained, then when a confirmation is posted only the activity cost will be posted on the order. The variance calculated will then show only the difference if any b/n plan / target / actual activity costs, while part cost will remain zero.

Vivek

Re:No release of production order without standard cost estimate

Hello Experts
I do not want to release any production order without standard cost estimate
I have come acroos the same problem raised by some other users and can you please suggest how to achieve this?
Is there any way to achieve this without user exit?
Thanks and Regards
Subbu

Hello Subbu,
In this case, you need to put the status as "B4" Blocked in costing 1 view of material master, when you create the costing view and change it to "03" status when you released the cost estimate.
Please note that this field can be overwritten in MRP view also. Hence please get the good control of material master and good coordination with PP team to achive this.
Please let me know if you require any clarifications.

No release of production order without standard cost estimate

Hi All,
I have an requirement, that is production order for a material should not be released or saved if standard cost estimate for that period is not released. Basically it should not allow to release or save the production for that material, is SCE is not run for that period. I tried various options, i also overheard its possible through user exit and many people have succeed in that.
Has anybody overcome this problem, please do let me know. And which user exit??
Thanks in advance
With Best Regards
GJ.

Hi...
I have faced the same problem in my previous project. What i have instructed to my client is to take control of Master data and put the status as "03" Blocked for movement till the statndard cost is released for this material.
You can relase the status to "E2" in Cross Plant Status Field in Costing one view once the cost estimate is released for the material.
I hope this works for you.
Please let me know if you require any fruther information.
Thank you,

Process Order Creation without Standard Cost

Hello All,
I need a functionality.. If standard cost is not released for a period , system should not allow me to create a process order in the certain period.
Is any standard configurations allow me to achieve this????
Thanks & regards
Mahesh

Mahesh,
Standard SAP allows creation of order without Std cost estimate. Only in REM you could make it give error.
However I suggest you could implement the exit PPCO0006.
In this the function module EXIT_SAPLCOZF_003 contains the import parameter CAUFVD_IMP which has material number (MATNR) and plant (WERKS). Pass these to table MBEW and get the value of STPRS (std cost). If this value is 0 then give the error.
Hope this is useful....if so reward points and close this thread.

Blocking creation of production order if standard cost estimate is not done

Hi PP gurus,
Can anyone help me in blocking the creation of production order if the standard cost estimate is not done for the particular posting period.

Hi,
I do not think there exist a standart check. You can use exit EXIT_SAPLCOZF_003 to block creation of production order by sending error messages based on any condition.

Is it possible to do Standard Cost Estimate even if we have open sales Orde

Hi,
I have a small doubt and questions regarding Standard cost estimate.
Is it possible to Execute Standard cost estimate when we have Open Sales orders and Open Purchase orders?
Is there any problem if we execute standard cost estimate when we have open Sales orders and Open purchase orders?
Kindly clarify my doubt and help me.
Thanks
Supriya

Dear Supriya,
There is no relation between sales order or purchase order and a standard cost estimate.
Standard cost estimate basically sums up the cost of the BOM components and the operation(activity
cost) or the processing cost(if sub-contracted) based on the material's procurement type and the
costing variant used.
Check and revert back.

Issue with Standard Cost estimates / Material Ledger

Background:
We have been using SAP for the last 5 years with Material Ledger active. Due to a number of reasons, we have not revised its standard cost estimates from 2001 till now. This means that at month end, we do not mark and release prices as recommended, nor do we mark prices and use dynamic release.
What Happened:
A new material called PFSW3 was made. This is a FERT. Before production
could start my team released the standard cost estimate for this material. Production was now able to proceed without problem. Then, when the time came to sell the material (VF02), SAP again raised the error 'cost estimate not found'. On checking the standard price in MM03, we discovered that the future cost estimate was missing. So we created and marked a new cost estimate in the middle of February 2007.
Problem:
When the first sale took place, SAP released the marked cost estimate and posted a Price Change document to adjust for the new standard cost. I understand this was due to dynamic release. Now, when month end came, the system settled all the production orders of material PFSW3 but did not do multi level costing on it.
Internal Investigation:
My team has determined that the material PFSW3 has price determination 2 set by mistake. All our other production materials (HALB and FERT) are
set to price determination 3 in the material master (accounting view).
Questions:
To sum this situation up,
we need to know why the material PFSW3 was not marked closed in its period status (CKM3) at the time of closing through CKMLCP?
What are the implications of not closing this material in Feb 2007 (current period status is showing 'Quantities and values entered')?
How can we close this material this month?
The future cost estimate is again missing for PFSW3 in March 2007 and I
fear we are going to face more problems as this material is sold to customers.
Please respond this is an urgent issue.

Dear Shumyl,
Please, have a look at Note 645083 - Material period status set to "Closing Entry Completed" that might help to closing your material in previous period.
Hope it will be useful.
Regards,
Flaviano.

Goods movement - without Standard cost

Hello All
In our existing client system, price control for new material X is maintained as 'S'. We have not maintained the standard price in it yet.
Ideally if price control is 'S' and you dont maintain a Standard cost of the material. SAP does not allows any goods movement on this material.
But without standard cost if I am able to raise a Purchase order (which is fine) and also able to do GR (using MIGO).
The result being GR is done and FI document is posted with PO price + MAP is updated with PO price.
Is it std SAP functionality or is there is a setting which I have missed. Please let me know.
Note: Price control indicator for material type is 'S'.

Dear Rajeshwari,
1.You can use the plant specific material status to block the material for production,purchase and inventory management,by
creating a new key in OMS4 and set the value as B in all these parameters and assign this value in the material master in MRP1
view of the particular material and set the valied from date.
2.In case if you want to remove this valu or say you have carried out a standard cost estimate,you can remove the assignment in
MM02.
3.For blocking the production order creation for the materials that does not contain a standard cost use this BADI -
WORKORDER_UPDATE(method during Release).
Check this link,
Re: error msg if no standard cost present for Production order target cost
4.Also go through the points suggested by Ajay,

Costing sheet and standard cost estimate

Hi
I am trying to use Costing sheet for overhead calculation .
But in costing run I am not getting the overhead amount calculated .
I created the costing sheet and assigned that to valuation variant .
Where from the actual / Plan values being picked up for over head calculation .
More over I need to understand on what basis the %age for overhead can be calculted to be aborbed to material cost .
In costing run I am having ZERO values for overhead .
I have followed the following steps
Costing Sheet: Components
Define Calculation Bases
Define Percentage Overhead Rates
Define Quantity-Based Overhead Rates
Define Credits
Define Overhead Keys
Define Overhead Groups
Even then the Production overhead is not being calculated at the time of Cost Run
for standard cost estimate .
regards

Do you enter overhead group in the material master.
Key that groups together materials to which the same overhead is applied.
Procedure
In costing with and without quantity structure, and when costing production orders and run schedule headers, you can apply percentage overhead charges by means of an overhead key if you:
Assign a costing sheet to your production order or run schedule header, or to the valuation variant for the cost estimate
Enter overhead charges in this costing sheet that use the overhead key field
Assign the overhead key to an overhead group
Enter this overhead group in the material master record of the material

Proceeding without standard costing for May08 and June08

Hi,
We have implemented Material Ledger here.
The backlogs are on.
We are still on May08 backlogs.
We had to proceed without standard costing for May and now also for June which we would be able to finish by July 20th.
After that we will be doing the standard costing run for July 2008 by 22nd July.
I dont think we neeed to calculate and settle variances for May and June 2008.
Please guide.
Could you please guide me on what precautions that need to be taken.
Also, when I do the actual costing (ML) run for July in August 2008, I think only the variances for July will be calculated and settled.
Any material Ledger experts, please advise and guide.
regards,
Nidhi

Hi Elaine,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
You are absolutely right.
The system will not allow me to close July in ML, unless I have closed May and June.
Also, the second option is completely ruled out. Every material has to be included in the ML run.
For carrying out ML closing activities for previous posting periods, the note no. 361236 would help. Please advise.
Also, Elaine, I am noticing that despite the fact that we did not do the standard costing run for May 2008, the system is using the standard cost estimate of April 2008 to calculate all variances.
I checked the costs analysis of all process orders and the system is correctly calculating the variances for all process orders.
So please suggest if the steps I am mentioning below are correct:
May 2008:
I will first calculate production variance using T code KKS1
Then settle the production variance using: CO88
Then I will carry out ML run for May using: CKMLCP
May closes in Material Ledger
June 2008:
I will first calculate production variance using T code KKS1
Then settle the production varinace using: CO88
Then I will carry out ML run for June using: CKMLCP
June closes in Material Ledger
Then I will do the standard costing run for July 2008.
(Also please note that we closed May and opened June in MM using MMPV, because one region is still in May backlogs while the other has started June backlogs. So the current period in MM is June and previous period is May 2008. This I guess should not have any impact on the ML run for May 2008)
Please guide me with possible reconstruction of steps.
Thanks a lot & regards,
Nidhi

Report showing labor and machine time based on standard cost estimate

Hi Friends,
Ours is an Manufacturing organisation & we have a requirement of report showing machine and labor time as per part wise & cost center wise. We need to run the report before saving standard cost estimate [CK11N] in order to see the part wise or cost center wise discrepancies in machine and labor time. If any one could help in creating such report in SAP it will be of great help.
Regards,
Varsha

Hi Varsha,
you can jump from CK11N to a own report by
Menu Function 'Costs -> User Exit Display'
Cost Report 1 / 2 / 3
The own report can be implemented via (SMOD) enhancement SAPLXCKA
The report will be handed over the currently displayed in the program interface.
some example coding is provided for the exit.
compare SAP Note No. 71146
best regards, Udo

Raw materials on MAP with split valuation used in standard cost estimate

We have a few raw materials which are purchased from different vendors and of different brands. We have opened split valuations for these raw materials. These raw materials are later used in manufacture of different finished goods. We use MAP for raw materials and Std. for finished goods. What configuration and processing steps will be required to run standards cost estimate and what will be standard price for a finished good considering the following example:
Material X is finished good
Raw Material A with split valuation @ USD 5 (brand aplha) & USD 10 (brand beta)
Raw Material B without split valuation @ USD 1
It is expected that we used brand aplha 60% of the time and brand beta 40% of the time and production batch size is usually 100 Kg.
Please reply
Edited by: Chris SAP on Sep 29, 2011 7:56 AM

hi chris
Hope you have configured the material A for split valuation. while calculating standard cost estimate for the material C. through ck11n, the system will pick up the header price from material master.
But here you are saying that you have chances of using the material A, 60% of brand alpha and 40% brand beta
Instead of using split valuation use mixed costing concept. create the material A with separate Ids and create two boms one with alpha and the other with beta.
create procurement alternative in CK91N and mixed ratio with Ck94 and release the mixed cost estimate
please go through this thread also

In running standard Cost Estimate, System is selecting wrong selection ID

We have two Process in Production . one we use Process flow(PI), in other we use Production flow(PP).
Now, while running standard cost estimate for Process industry(PI) as it uses recipe instead of Routing...But system is searching/selecting for routing than recipe.
Our issue is that when i run Cost run for Process orders , it should select Recipe not routing. And when i do cost run for Production order...it should select Routing!!!
Kindly help...
Shivraja

Verify the Routing determination sequence in costing varinat - Quantity Structure determination configuration.
Change the Priority for the selection of task lists as below
ID                  SP               Task           Plan Usage        Description Status             Description of Status.
01     1     R     1     Production     4     Released (general)
01     2     R     1     Production     2     Released for order
01     3     N     1     Production     4     Released (general)
01     4     N     1     Production     2     Released for order
01     5     2     1     Production     4     Released (general)
01     6     2     1     Production     2     Released for order
This should work as expected.

No standard cost estimate found for the material

Hi,
When we are trying to generate the bill systems throws the error as "no statandard cost estimate found" whereas the material is a kmat material.
Actually as per the requirement we should not Run standard cost estimate for any material,we will update the standard price in MR21
What are the settings that i need to do to avoid the above error message while doing billing?
Following error msg is appearing:-
No standard cost estimate could be found for material "300000"
Message no. K/834
Diagnosis
In Profitability Analysis, an attempt was made while valuating with material costing to read for material "123456" a standard cost estimate released on posting date "02.10.2008".
The system has discovered that there are no error-free standard cost estimates released in plant "BP01" on the specific date "02.10.2008" for material "123456".
The material cost estimate is accessed according to the CO-PA Customizing settings for costing key "YG1" under Define Access to Material Costing.
Display Cost Estimate for Material
Display Material Cost Estimate without Quantity Structure
System Response
It is not possible to process the document further.
Procedure
Check your system settings.
Thanks

Remove the Costing keys assignment in the step "assign costing keys to any
characteristics" in COPA Configuration settings.

Steps for running the Standard Cost Estimate

I have a requirement.
I have created cost sheet, cost component structure, costing variant etc. for running the standard cost estimate for the material.
I want a help document for knowing the PP side settings and list of order-wise transactions for calculating the standard cost of the material.
