Planned Overhead Calculation in Production Order

Dear Experts,
I have created one costing sheet, with the following:
1. Base has been taken as Expenses GL(Office Expenses)-Primary Cost.
2. Overhead rate has been define 50% for both planned & actual with dependency as profit center(D080).
3. Credit has been defined with scondary cost element with cost center.
4. Assigned cost component with above secondary cost element in cost component structure.
5. Assigned cost component structure in version.
6. Assigned costing sheet in valuation variant
7. Assigned valuation variant in costing sheet.
I have posted the Fi document in the expense gl.But no values are coming in prodction order in costing.
Please let me know if i have missed any thing. Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Kapil

Hi Srinivas,
Thanks for your quick reply. I have tried with base with cost element category 43. But no valuea are coming. Please tell me how the overhed will be calculated on this base cost elements. On which amount system will calculate the planned & actual overheds.

Problem in overhead calculation of production order after TECO

Dear All,
Just for reconfirmation can you tell me what is the actual sequence of steps used in Closing of Production order i.e
First we have to do TECO of an order and then we have to calculate Overhead.(KGI2).
I am asking this question because i have observed that order which are get TECO before Overhead calculation, if you see the cost analysis, system will not update overhead value in order and the difference get posted in Variances after settlement.
If we have to do vice versa then there will be the problem as user do the TECO of an order as an when production order completed, overhead calculation is the work of costing department and they will do it at month end only hence system will always post variance for the overhead value.
Kindly suggest.
Regards,
Shayam

Hi,
Normally, you need to check the transactions allowed when the status TECO is set. However, status is set only when the sequence of the steps are completed during month end. Transactions like the WIP, variances, settlement etc as you may have bach jobs running to set the status.
Kind Regards

How to Close Planned Overhead Rates after production order/ CK40N

Hi,
While creating production order,it will pick planned overheads from Costing Sheet.After closing the production Oder,how will we close the planned overheads?
For example: We have maintained the planned overheads as 3% in the costing sheet.Over a period of time we have observed the actual overheads is only 2%.How to deal with this in the system.In this case how to close the planned overheads which we got from costing sheet?
Kindly advice me
thanks
Sunitha

Hi,
If i understand you correctly,currently your planned overhead rate is 3% and you wants to change to 2%.
if this is the case goto your Overhead rate in configuration and copy overhead rate key which is with plan overhead type(2). and change 3% end as of today and copied one with new rate (e.g 2%) as of tomorrow and till end of life(12/31/9999)....
hope this helps you.
Thanks,

Overhead calculation for production order

Hi,
I configured costing sheet and cost component structure. I have given the overhead rates for materials and production costs also. I have a doubt related overhead calculation.
When i have to actual overhead calculation after CK11N or before CK11N.
Please guide me series of steps
Sateesh Kumar

Hi Sateesh,
Once you execute CK11N or CK40N Overhead is calculated for the material and Save.mark and release standard cost and overhead part of your standard cost.
To apply actual overhead to prodcution order,you should assign costing sheet to production order.once you issue goods to production order,you can run KGI2 transaction to apply overhead to prodcution order and credit to cost center/order/business process.
If this helps,please assign points.
Thanks,
Rau

Actual activity price calculation for production order

Hi
Can any one guide me in how many ways we can assign actual activity price calculation for production order?
I knew only one way by assigning PPP2 costing variant?
I have another doubt is: if we don't mention any material valuation indicator (moving average, standard) in valuation variant, how system will calculate material prices? is there any other way, to recognize the prices by system?
regards,
Ramesh B

Dear,
Costing variant PPP2 is linked to some valuation variant inn OPL1
System will check the valuation of material and activity according to this valuation variant
For material valuation there are many stg acceding to which system will take the price the raw material,
Valuation strategy for material component
Strategy sequence that determines the valuation of the materials used in the cost estimate.
Use
The materials are valuated using the price in the material master record or the values calculated in a material cost estimate.
Procedure
You can enter a single strategy, or you can enter multiple strategies in the form of a strategy sequence. If you enter multiple strategies, the priority of the strategy determines what price or what values are selected.
Examples
Assume that the following strategy sequence is entered for material valuation:
1. Planned price 1
2. Standard price
3. Moving average price
If the system finds a value in the Planned price 1 field (costing view), this value is taken as the value for valuating the material.
If the system does not find a value, the value in the Standard price field (accounting view) is used.
If the material does not have a standard price, the system uses the value from the Moving average price field.
if you have not mentioned, then system will give error that "valuation stg not found"
Valuation strategy for internal activities and processes-
Strategy sequence that determines how internal activities and processes are valuated in costing.
Use
The activities and business processes used are valuated with the prices from Cost Center Accounting or Activity-Based Costing to determine the production costs or process costs. The prices can either be calculated iteratively through price calculation, or entered manually by the user.
Procedure
You can enter either a single strategy or more than one strategy in the form of a strategy sequence. If you enter more than one strategy, the priority of the strategy determines which price is selected.
Examples
The following strategy sequence is entered:
1. Actual price of the previous period
2. Plan price of the previous period
3. The most current plan price
If the system finds a price for the activity type, this price is used for valuating the internal activities. If no price was calculated for the previous period, the plan price from the previous period is used to valuate the activity type.
If the system cannot find a plan price for the previous period, it looks for a future plan price, using the next price in the posting period to valuate the internal activities. For example, if plan prices have been entered for periods 2 and 3, and a plan price is calculated in period 1 for period 4, the system uses the price from period 3 in accordance with the valuation strategy Most up-to-date plan price.
Again if you have not mentioned, then system will give error that "valuation stg not found".
You can use any costing variant for actual (PPP2)and planned(PPP1) according to your requirement.. check in OPL1

Variance calculation for production order with settlement receiver as SDI

Hi...
I have one query reference to Variance calculation for production order with settlement receiver as SDI(Sales document item).
I am working on Varaint configuration with strategy 25(Make-to-order for configurable material) with requirement class 046.
I have created sales order ref. to configurable material,subsequently created planned order & then converted to production order.
In production order settlement receiver is SDI(Sales document item).
While doing production confirmation ,variance has been created.
Now during variance calculation KKS2, I have got error message as no suitable settlement rule found for object Order no.
Is there any way to come out of this?Or variance calculation KKS2 is not applicable with settlement receiver as SDI(Sales document item).
Pl. guide

Hi
In case of non valuated material, concept of variance does not apply...
Variance is Actual Cost - Cost of Goods receipt posted in stock.. If the later value is zero, your entire actual cost is variance... That is one way of saying it
But, in SAP, var not calculated in case of non valuated material and that makes sense as well.. Since you are in MTO scenario, it would make sense to analyse costs vs revenues @ sale order level as each SO will be unique in itself

Change of planning plant in the production Order

Dear Sapians
Please suggest me how we can change the planning plant in the production order once it is saved and confirmed before taking goods receipt.
Thanks
GVRR

Hi Prasanna,
1. Order is with material
2. This order is created independently
3. yes there are dependent requirements
Scenario is we have created Production orders with X plant. Later after confirmation and before GRN planning plant is changed as per the business decission. Now client wants to receive the goods in new planning plant.
I want to know, How can business area and functional area help us to receive the goods in changed planning plant scenario. can we maintain the plant values in this fields.

Overhead Calculation for Internal Order

Hi Gurus,
I have created one internal order and made the reservations.
I have configured all Overhead Keys and Overhead Groups. I have also maintained the rates for the same.
Now while i m running the overhead calculation for internal order, I am getting below stated result:
Y141 Machine Cost 5000 INR 100 KG Rs. 555.27
Y142 Labour            60    INR 100 KG Rs. 1110.54
Y143 Utility              60    INR 100 KG Rs. 2221.08
Y144 QC/QA Exp     5000 INR 100 KG Rs.4,442.16
Now u can see that overheads are doubled evrytime. I have made the configuration perfectly. I m demn sure abt it.
But i think i m lacking somewhere because such kind of ridiculous overhead should not come.
Pls help me in this regard.
Hope to get back u frnds!!!!!!!!

Activity is calculated on Production Order Quantity based .

Hi Experts,
My requirement is Planned Activity cost should be calculated based on Production order Quantity. and not on timing mentioned in Routing.
For Example- My PO Quantity is 10 - and activity assigned rate is 1 then = 10 RS is my planned activity Price
IF PO quantity is 1 then planned Activity Price is 1 RS
pour some light on this
Regards,
Girish

Hi
Create an Activity Type and assign in work center / Routing... Keep the Activty Qty same as Base Qty in Routing....
if you create Prod Order for 10, system would automatically propose Qty as 10.... Assign a fully variable formula in the work center to this activity
Then maintain a price for this n KP26

Actual Overhead rates on Production Orders

There is a function that let you recalculate overhead rate for actual?
I mean for example, when you use activity types in production orders, during confirmations planned price is posted to orders, then at the period end closing you can calulate actual price (KSII) and then revaluate production orders with this new price (CON2)
Is there something like this for overhead rates? p.j. if your actual rate is $3.00 by produced unit. Then at the end of the month is there any transaction that compare actual expenses and actual production and determine new rate? example $3.5. In order to revaluate production orders?
Thanks

Hi Espinosa
Welcome to SDN!
I guess your question is to check if there is a mechanism to auto calculate the overhead rate in the system....
Sorry, there is no such mechanism.. You need to manually calculate and maintain it in KZM2 or KZZ2... Then revaluate the prod orders with new rate using CO43....
However, I find it painful and boring.. Hence, I have developed a workaround which I prefer to use always...
You need to decide on what basis you would like to absorb your overhead... Say, Machine hrs, lab Hrs or Output.... Lets assume you choose Output (KG) to absorb the overhead
1. You need to create an Activity Type called PRDOVH and assign it in the PP Work center... Assign the cost element of this act type to a separate cost component in OKTZ
2. While creating the Routing, the Activity Qty = Operation Qty for this Act Type... i.e. If you are creating routing for 100 Units, specify the Act Qty for PRDOVH as 100...
3. The Formula in the work center will be fully variable for this Act Type.. i.e. the Act Qty should change in proportion to the Qty Confirmed....
4. The PP Guys will confirm the operation in PP... This Act Type will also get confirmed along with it
5. Now calculate Act Price KSII as usual and run revaluation... From this point onwards, follow the normla procedure which you follow in month end

Wip calculation in production Order

Hai friends
Can any one tell this 2 tcodes in Co . tell me these two codes KKAX,
KKAO why we use and how to calculate tell me clearly WIP functonality.

Hi,
WIP :
The WIP calculation process valuates the unfinished products (work in process).
In the Product Cost by Order component, the work in process is valuated at actual costs. Work in process is the difference between the debit and credit of an order that has not been completely delivered. This method determines the work in process for each production order by calculating the difference between the actual costs incurred and the actual costs settled (that is, the difference between the debits for goods issues, internal activity allocations, external activities, and overhead on the one hand, and the credits for goods receipts on the other). Once the last part of the order lot has been delivered to stock, any remaining work in process must be canceled so that the order costs can properly be settled to stock.
The status of the order determines whether WIP calculation creates or cancels the work in process.
u2022 If the order has the status REL (released), the system can calculate work in process.
u2022 Once the order receives the status DLV (Delivered) or TECO (Technically completed), the work in process calculated in a previous period is canceled.
for this you have calculate WIP for every order.
KKAX- this T.code is used for single order process.
KKAO-this T.code is used for collective process,here you process by plant.
Hope this is helps you.
Thanks,
Rau

WIP CALCULATION ON PRODUCTION ORDERS

Hi,
I have a problem for some production orders:
WHEN PERFORMING THE WIP CALCULATION (maybe with transaction code KKAO) ON SOME PRODUCTION ORDERS WE ARE GETTING THE FOLLOWING ERROR MESSAGE:
KJ161 "There are values for cost element xxxxxx that are not assigned to any line ID"
Is there anyone that can help us to understand this error message and to solve this problem?
Futher informations:
Considering the report "Orders: Actual/Plan/Variance" (transaction code S_ALR_87012993) I have noticed that this production orders have fot that particular cost element of the error message a negative actual value. This was generated by 1 document for each production order that I can see in transaction code MB23. In this document there is a movement type 531 (Receipt of by-product into unrestricted-use stock).
This document was made by transaction code COGI.
Is it this document that has created the problem for THE WIP CALCULATION?
How can we try to resolve it?
Thank you for all your help.
A.S.

Hi,
Please check the required settings in OKBG. Whether all required cost elements have been defined here?
Hope it will help you to get the clues

Error during variance calculation for production order "NO cost estimate "

hi all,
I'm gettin this error message while trying to calculate the variance for a production order. error is "No cost estimate for material xxxx for 01.10.2008.
when i look at material xxx in MM02, under cost estimate for current period there is a value but nothing for previous period. So i'm guessing the the Cost estimate was not run of this material? am i correct here?
Now if i try to run cost estimate for material for the missing periods using CK11N, i get an error "cannot save for past period"
Could some one tell me how can i get a prior year estimate into the material master?
I tried CK40N and CKN1 but just cant get it to work...
Thanks heaps

Hi Tom
unfortunately there is no easy way to get a product cost estimate for a past date. One of the reasons for this would be inconsistant product valuation.
You could in theory create a cost estimate in a current date and use an ABAP or manually adjust the valid from and to dates directly in the tables (e.g. KEKO). To do this in a production environment would be restrictive off course.
The standard cost estimate is the basis for the target costs so as an alternative you could look to change the configuration of the target cost version in OKV6 to either of the following:
- Plan Cost/Preliminary Costing (that is the plan calc done on your production order)
- Alternative Material Cost Estimate (one that is not necessarily a product costing that is set for marking and release).
I hope this is of some help.

Avoid variance calculation on product order

Hi experts,
i have a question. We have a material with cost estimate with quantity structure, cost estimate is release. All cost components in cost component structure are in inventory valuation. On the product order are then target costs. When material is producing, one component of BOM (cost element XXX) is not consumption on product order. When i start variance calculation, SAP calculate variance to this one component (cost element XXX) and by settlemnet of order, posting variance to FI. But this thing i don´t want. It is possible prohibit calculation of variance for this component of BOM - cost element XXX on product order? It is possible prohibit settlement this variance to FI? What i can do for it?
Thanks a lot,
Gustavo

Hi,
i must settlement product order, so i need variance calculation. So can i settlement variances to FI only for some components of BOM and one variances of one component leave on procuct order? Or can i settlement variances of one component of BOM to other cost centrum than others components (alternatively under other cost elements)? Maybe substition.... If yes, how?
Thanks a lot,
Gustavo

Error in cost calculation for production order

Dear All,
I got error of cost calculation while release of Production Order due to price of some material is not mantain .
What will happen if I release , save the Order with error & do Good Issue ???
Ishwar

Dear Ishwar,
Check the log's created for costing and rectify the same.
I feel its better to rectify the cost related errors and then release the production order and proceed to Good's Issue.
Check whether there is a MAP for all the Raw-materials and an origin group in costing 1 view.
The Finished product must be having a standard cost estimate that's valid for the current period.
Revert back in case of any more help needed.
