Plan cost splitting is as per average basis instead of capacity base

Dear Experts:
I have planned the activity independent cost in cost center : CCTRA
I do have two activities named: ACT1 and ACT2
I have done the activity capacity planning in KP26
Created the splitting structure and assigned the cost center.
Splitting rule taken as 23- capacity based splitting
When I perform KSS4,
System split the fixed cost equally instead of capacity planned in KP26.
My Settings: In KP26:
I have maintained the planned activity quantity in capacity tab
Distribution Key - 2 (Distribution as before)
Plan Price Indicator - 2 (Plan price, automatically based on capacity)
In KL01: Under Allocation default values tab:
Activity type category - 1
Price indicator - 2
Check box for plan quantity set
In KL01: Under variances for actual allocation:
Actl Acty Type Cat. - Blank (As in planning)
Act. price indicato - 6 (Actual price, automatically based on capacity)
OKEQ Settings: Price calculation tab:
Plan Method: Average price
Tried Period price also.
I need to split the cost as per capacity planning.
Please guide me.
Thanks
Surya

Hi Makrand,
Point No.1: When you say that the system is not considering the values you planned in KP06 but considering the values which have come by Distribution, system is behaving correctly.
Because, when you do the planning in KP06 for certain cost elements, you are doing it against certain activity type. So, for the cost elements which you planned in KP06, splitting structure is not applicable.
Splitting structure will be applicable for the expenses which have come through distribution only.
Point No.2: When you say that for the cost elements which you have not mentioned in splitting structure are also being considered in the same way as those of mentioned in splitting structure, i would suggest you to check the cost element group.
If not, pls give the rule "equal distribution among the activity types" for those cost elements which dont need to be absorbed based on activity quantity.
I hope this will work out...
reply with result...

Issue with calculation of planned cost.

Hi,
Can anybody explain me the s_alr_87013127 report. I am going to implement the PP orders process in plant.
After creating and releasing the order the planned price in the report is displayed as per below
In the above screen shot SMH cost is getting update in plan cost debit and material cost maintained as per in material master is getting update in plan cost credit. Please explain me why it is happening so that further analysis can be done.
The material type is HALB and it is not going to be sale to customer. The settlement category against the order is also maintained as MAT as per below screen shot.
Hence, the order is not settled through KO08 instead of that it is direct issue from stock through MVT Type 901 and against that cost is booked to its respective cost center as per below screen shot.
Please explain me why only plan credit cost is captured instead of considering the both plan credit & debit cost.

Samrat

Hi Owen,
Thanks for reply. My problem is that i am producing a semifinished material but not selling it and even it have no BOM & routing. Producing and capturing all its material cost and SMH cost in plan cost, then issuing it from Sloc. & settling its cost to cost center through 901 mvt. type.
Hence, when i am going to settle it then only the material cost is getting settle in the cost center. Also, please explain me that is it a standard scenario where always plan cost credit will considered material cost & SMH cost will considered as plan cost debit.
As per my study the calculation of plan cost credit & plan cost debit is as per below.
Plan Cost Credit = Actual qty. X Standard price
Plan Cost Debit = Plan qty. X SMH hour booked in routing X Activity rate
Please explain

Actual Cost splitting

Hi,
Before I do the actual price calculation, I need to do actual cost splitting via KSS2.
Suppose that I have 4 activity types for one prod cost center and the operating rates are as follows:
Direct Labor - 2.64%
Indirect Labor - 6.92%
Factory Overhead - 2.43%
Depreciation - 2.75%
Below are the plan fixed and variable costs for cost element Wages which I was able to follow based on manual calculations:
Direct Labor: Fixed - 22,000; Variable - 113,000
Indirect Labor: Fixed - 50,000; Variable - 0
CE Wages is not part of Factory Overhead and Depreciation activities
I did not use the plan cost splitting because when I uploaded the expenses, the fixed and variable portions have already been separated in the upload file.
Suppose that I made an FI posting for the cost element Wages for the same production cost center amounting to 120,000
The target costs as computed by the system and which I was able to follow also based on manual calcuations are:
Direct Labor: Fixed - 22,000; Variable - 2,985.24
Indirect Labor: Fixed - 50,000; Variable - 0
My problem is in the splitting portion. Assuming there is no splitting structure, system is computing the ff: control costs for cost element Wages:
Direct Labor: Fixed - 35,206.79; Variable - 4,777.78
Indirect Labor: Fixed - 80,015.43; Variable - 0
For these computations, I am not able to follow the logic. First I tried to compute based on the planned costs but it results to a very high variable cost. Then I tried to compute based on the target costs, the resulting amounts are (following 2 splitting steps in SAP help):
Direct Labor: Fixed - 38,830.56; Variable - 378.84
Indirect Labor: Fixed = 66,830.56; Variable - 0
Thanks in advance for your advise.

Actual cost splitting error (Equivalence numbers)

Hi
I am facing an error during actual cost splitting (KSS2) . The situation is working fine in the case of Plan cost splitting (KSS4)
I want to split costs in a cost centre based on equivalence numbers. But, i dont see any option of maintaining equivalence numbers for actual cost splititng. The option is available ONLY in KP26..
Hence, I have maintained equi no.s only in KP26. This gives me error in KSS2 Quoting some divergence error. The message reads that activity price calculation did not converge
It shows me a picture on screen which displays a loop between activity types. I am unable to understand it
Can any one guide me on this??
Any help wud be promptly rewarded
Regards
Ajay

Hi Mahe,
Here Kss4 Before cost centers are assigned Splliting Structure to cost center r not Plz check.Then Only it Work.Actuval cost Splliting is Working Based On the Production Order Conformation and U r Fi entry Poistings Related to cost Planning.

Planned cost in the project

Hi,
I have created a project using Assembly processing with strategy 85. The planned cost of the project per month is say Rs 50,000/- The duration of the project/ internal activity is for 6 Months. The scenario is the planned cost is fixed for each month.i.e Rs 50,000/-. I have maintained 'Plan Price for the period' in the costing variant to get planned cost equally distributed over 6 months. But the report shows (S_ALR_87013532) the planned cost is divided over 6 months (Rs 8,333/- for each month)
Could any one help me in resolving the issue.
Rgds,
Prasad

Hai Shrikrishna
Kindly check in the Costing Tab of the Workcenter which u are referring in the Network Activity.
In the Costing u need to maintain the valid Controlling area , Cost center , Act.type.Int.Processing (Key identifying the activity type used in other types of internal processing in costing like networks) and Formula key for costing (Key which refers to the formula used to determine costs per activity type).
Unless these are not maintained cannot get the Actual costs(not planned).
Based on the hours (planned) mentioned in the workcenter , work to be confirmed(CJ20N/CN25/Cn27) to convert the planned hours into costs.
ENJOY SAP PS.

Network material cost planning price entry without using moving average

Hi,
When adding the stock material (internal activity) to a network activity the system takes the moving average price of the material.
How can we enter the material AND the price for cost planning?
Note: The reason is that the material being procured may cost more than the moving average price on the system. When a user gets a quote for the material they'd like to enter the quoted buying price instead of the system taking the moving average.
Thanks
Kru

Hi,
Normally System allow to Edit Material - Price/Currency field in network planning instead of moving average price.
Please check it may greyed out for edit.

Target cost, planned cost, actual cost difference

Hi!
As per my understanding , the target cost, planned cost, actual will be calculated like blow:
Actual cost = Actual quanity * Actual price ( standard price or moving average price) existed at the time of goods movement.
Planned cost = Planned quantity * Planned price ( standard price or moving average price) existed at the time of production order release based on valuation variant strategy.
Target cost = Planned Quantity * Actual price ( standard price or moving average price) when calculating variances.
whether above formulas are correct?
I have one scenario, where in process order, I am not seeing Planned quanity for compoenent/raw material, but target quanity is existed. How it is possible. When I have checked the BOM in process order, the BOM does not contain the componenet.
regs,
ramesh

Hi,
Target Cost = Costs as per the standard cost estimate * Actual Qty delivered.
For e.g. Std cost for one unit of material-x is as follows.
RM 1 - 10kg * 10 /- = 100
Activity 1 - 5 Hr * 50 /- = 250
If the actual delivery from the production is 2 units, then target cost will update as
Under Goods Issue, RM 1 - (10kg*2units) * 10 /- = 200
Under Confirmations, Activity 1 - (5 Hr*2units) * 50/- = 500
Total = 200+500 = 700
Target cost for goods issue/confirmation of activities will update only when the Goods receipt has been done but not at the time of goods issue or Confirmation of activities.
Target cost for Goods Receipt will update only when the variance has been calculated for the order.

Planned cost in REM

Hii experts,
Can we have planned cost in REM? If yes, how?
regards
kapil

Dear Kapil,
For your Understanding
1.Target costs are the planned costs adjusted to the actual
operating rate.Target costs can be used for purposes such as:
To determine variances
To valuate work in process
To valuate unplanned scrap
2.The Target cost will be your Planned Cost which you have
used during Cost Rollup---this generally given for Raw Materials.
3.The actual Cost will be the price of the consumption that has
happened for 261 moevment materials.
4.Moving average Price of your Raw materials gets varied as
per the GR & its value,So whenever production confirmation is
done for the HALB or FERT materials,you can see the actual
cost getting varied for your RAW materials.
5.So Variance will be of +ve value if Actual Costs is greater
than Target Costs & variance will be - ve Value if Target Costs
is greated than Actual Costs.
6.So during Period end closing as per the Business
requirements varinace is calculated,then settled against some
Cost Objects.
7.For the Items which were not present in the BOM of a HALB
or FERT item during Cost rollup and later on added,for these
items you can see the Target cost will be Zero and only actual
costs field gets updated.
I hope this will be sufficient to get a better understanding.
Revert back in case of any queries.

Difference between the planned cost and the target cost

Hello guys,
I am really confused between the planned cost and the target cost.As Per the sap help target cost is cost required to produce certain quantity of material.And planned cost even carry the same definition.
So is there any difference between these two cost.Are they same?

Jitendra,
Genarally in CO we will define Target cost is getting calculated in the Production order based on the "Standard Cost Estimate" after GR. Planned costs are calculated based on the current costs.
Example:
Assumption: Assembly Material A with Standard Price, Component B and Component C is maintained with Moving average
Material A Cost 1EA = (component B = $10 + Component cost C = $20+ Activity Price $1) = $31, this is the standard cost estimate for the material.
Now I create a production order on 15th of the month, and the Moving average price for component is now $20 due to subsequent GR with higher price. Now the planned cost for the order would be (20201)=$41, whereas the Target cost would be still $31.
Hope I was able to clarify,
Regards,
Prasobh

Planned Cost - Reporting

I'm using the BC Cube 0CCA_C11 to build a basic budget report. I've built a query that gives me most of the things I needs. I filter by controlling area, cost centre, fiscal period and financial year and version. In my report I have Planned Costs. These are for the whole financial year. How do I build something in the query that shows just the planned costs for the period I have run the report for e.g. if the budget for a cost element is £100 per annum I want the report to show £50 if I run it for periods 1 to 6. Bearing in mind that it isn't always a 1 to 12 split and the budget profile impacts upon the distribution of the budget through the year.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

There are three currency types

Sales order - show total plan costs (from production order) on sales order

Hi all,
I have the following question/scenario:
We create prodction order to collect cost (hours) for a service. There exists also a material master for this service.
The confirmed hours are posted on the production order and then setteld to the respective sales order (settlement rule SDI).
What to I have to maintain/customize to show the total plan cost (for the service) on gthe sales order?
If I check the sales order via VA03 --> environment --> cost report , I can see the planned sales revenue but no planned costs?
(the actual value flows work so far, postings via settlement or billing document).
I hope the topic is understandable. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Planned costs from prod order can not show on sale order.. Both are 2 separate entities in their own respects
Unless you calculate sales order cost estimate on your sales order, you cant see planned costs on sale order...
To calculate sale order cost estimate, make settings in your requirement class...
1. Go to procurement tab of sale order
2. See whats the requirement type
3. Go to IMG > Controlling > Prod cost Contr > Cost Obj Contr > Prod Cost by Sales Order > Control of Requirements
4. Here you can see mapping of req type to req class....
5. If you want to have sales order costing and have sales order as CO object inorder to have sales order wise profitability, you should have following settings in Req class...
>Acct Assignment Category should be E
>Costing: Either Blank or X
>Costing Id and Costing Method: As per your requirement

Calculation of planned costs in CS service order with 1 day = 8 hours

Dear experts!
What kind of possibilities do I have to calculate the planned costs in the CS service order (IW31) on the basis 1 day = 8 hours.
Right now, when I create the operation with "amount of work" = 5 days, the system calculates 120 hours * x u20AC. My requirement would be, that the system calculates 40 hours * x u20AC.
Do I have to change settings in transaction CUNI or can I use the work center to solve my problem? Or any other idea?
Kind regards,
Jens
Edited by: Jens Neßlage on Oct 28, 2009 6:28 PM

Jens,
You should be able to use the work center to solve this problem.Check the working hours in the operation work center and make sure its set to 8 hrs.This should solve your problem.

CO-PA Planning Costs(Budget) in SAP R/3

Hi All,
I am in the process of devloping the report of Cost per Cost Center.
I found the data source(CO_OM_CCA_9)for actual costs per cost element.
But i did not find the data source for Planning costs with respect to cost element.
I need the information of the souce table(CO-PA) which contains the planning data with respect to cost element.
thanks in advance,
Bhaskar.
Edited by: Bhaskar Babu TVS on Sep 12, 2008 9:11 AM

Hi Ajeet,
thanks a lot for your help.
the data source CC_7 does not provide the planning data with respect to Cost elements, it gives with respect to cost center.
CC_1 and CC_9 both are providing the actuals.
but the tables CE* are giving some meaningful information to me.
I found the solution for my problem(with the help of CO consultant).
Planning data is available in COEP & COEJ tables
COEP - with respect to Fiscal year period
COEJ - with respect to Fiscal year.
once again thanks for your information.
Bhaskar.

Planned Cost not coming for CO Activity in PM Order

Dear All,
I am putting up the entire configuration process i am carrying out for CO activity and using it in the PM Order.
Please see the link and guide me through as to why the Planned Cost for the Activity is mssing.

Praveen Dhankar

Hi,
Kindly check the logs in the maintenance order,it will show that the valuaton variant defined wasnot successful.
The problem is The activity price is not calculated properly,ask the CO consutant to maintain the activity price proprerly with updation. against that cost center.
The second one is no need to maintain the activity in workcenter as per your attachment sheet.
Maintain in Basic data of workcenter as standard value key as SAP0 No standard value key & in Costing view maintain the cost center,Activity in below field & maintain the formula as SAP0008.

How to include some costs in standart price on the base of material costs?

Hi,
the current client want to include some costs in standart price for the material on the base of raw material costs (according to bill of material). "Some costs" are costs for whole plant or workshop: electricity, gas, salary of some wokers an so on. These costs can not be ascribe to concrete finished products, but must be included in cost of goods manufactured. I assume to use cost center to collect these costs. Direct costs for raw material collects on cost collectors.
Now the problem by standard cost estimate:
1.The balance this cost center must be zero (it follows flegal requirements). Therefore I can not use overhead rates. Or I don`t know something?
2. I can create activity type, calculate its price on the base of planned costs of this cost center and use it in operation in routing for finished product. But in routing I can not use the costs of raw material to determine how many units of activity type must be confirmed. I can make only rule like: 1 Unit finished product - 1 Unit of activity type.
So, no chance?
P.S.
In fact there is no problem - I can use distribution of cost objects hierarchy
Best regards,
Yury
