PPC1 Costing Variant and MM Standard ormula

Hello Gurus,
Can anyone tell me where the formula is located in SPRO for PPC1 Costing Variant? Is there such a thing?
Also, what is the relationship between the material master Standard Price in Costing 2 and the Cost of Goods Manufactured value in CK11N?
Regards,
Gail

Gail,
It' not exactly a formula, but the configuration settings for the costing variant are made using transaction code OKKN. Pay special attention to the valuation variant attached to the costing variant PPC1. In the valuation variant to specify what methodology to use for valuing components, activities, and external processes. You also specify how overhead is calculated.
CK11N is used to generate cost estimates. Once a cost estimate has been calculated you have the option of marking and releasing it. If it is release it then updates the standard price field on both the accounting 1 screen as well as the costing 2 view of the material master.
thanks,

Costing variant and production version

We have two costing variants "C" (used to create current cost estimates) and "F" (Used to create Future cost estimate). All of the production versions in the system have a validity date of 9999. Is there a way to tell the system to use one production version when costing using Variant C and another version when costing is done using variant F.
Or if that is not possibel than how do we use one production version in 2011 while recosting current standards and another production version in 2012. (Remember the production version that we are using currently in 2011 has a validity date of 9999)
Regards

Hi
In your Costing Variant - You have a tab callled "Qty Structure Control".... Here you can specify BOM Determination and Routing Selection id.... i.e. If the BOM / Routing attached to the prod version can be assigned a specific BOM Determination Class and Routing Selection id, it can work
OR ELSE
While doing CK11N, you can manually specify the Prod Version in the "Qty Struct" Tab..... Create an LSMW for CK11N and you can do a mass costing like CK40N.... CK40N does not have this option of specifying Prod Version
I would prefer 2nd option

Can we use two costing variant for standard cost estimate

Hi,
Can we use two costing variant for standard cost estimate of two different materials in the same period ? e.g. Costing variant Z001 for Material code 1000 and Costing Variant Z002 for Material code 2000.
Here the system is not allowing to change the costing variant in Marking Allowance (t code CK24) for marking and release of Material cost 2000 if the standard cost for Material code 1000 is already marked and released.
Thanks,
Bijay

For a material in a period only one price can be released. Though you cn have two separate costing variants and then calculate standard estimate with that. U can release based on one variant only for a month. Or use MR21 and update the price as per the other variant
Thanks and Regards

Contents of new costing variant, valuation variant and costing sheet not getting transported

In our development client,I have created a new costing variant, a new valuation variant and a new costing sheet in separate transports.
When I release the transports to move into the Test client, the contents of the configuration are not getting transported at all.
I tried to do them again manually using Table view - Transport , but again, if I view the transports in SE10,they don't show the table contents, etc.
Any help on this will be highly appreciated.

Ajay,
Let me make sure I understand.
Create a new TR using SE01
Go to transaction OKKN (costing variant)
Select the costing variant and then choose Table view - transport
Provide the transport number
At what point to I say 'include in request'
If I try to use the menu option Edit-Transport-Include in request in the beginning itself, the 'Include in request' is greyed out.
This is where I'm stuck

Costing Variant & Prod Cost Collector

I am in the scenario of period costing with a product collector. Please guide me on the following:
While configuring for costing/valuation variant, I find that we create a costing / valuation variant under 'Material cost estimate with Qty structure' and also under Cost object controlling - Product Cost Collector, 'Check costing variant for Product Cost Collector' & 'Check valuation variant for Product Cost collector'.
Do need to configure a costing variant and valuation variant under these paths, viz. under Standard Cost estimate with Qty Structure & also Product Cost collector ?
Please give your comments ASAP

Costing variant in OKKN

We are implementing SAP best practices. While maintaining costing variant in OKKN I didn't find three fields which need to be entered. These are org level, cost element indicator and currency indicator.
But when I checked in SE16 for table V_CK03 these fields are there i.e. ORGEB, KOAKNZ, WAEKNZ.
Could someone tell me why these are not available for maintanance in OKKN.

When creating a new Costing Variant you might want use the settings that exist in one of the delivered Costing Variants and change just the pieces that you need to change in order to achieve the results that you're looking for. For instance, you may wish to use a different Date Control from the setting that is delivered with PPC1 (Std Cost Est - Month). To do so, you would click on the Date Control item found on the 'Control' tab. The options are then presented to you and you can choose the settings that you would like to use (i.e., in 'Costing Date From' you could change the setting from 'Start of Next Month' to 'Current Date'--you would only make this change, of course, if you wished the current date to default into the 'Costing Date From' field when you create Cost Estimates in CK11N. Without making the change the first day of the next month will default into the 'Costing Date From' field).

Costing variant in PM

I tried to create a costing variant for PM01 but the system says that there is an error "an entry already exist with the same key" i checked on the table but there is no PM01 that was created.

Dear,
tell me the one thing that whats ur thinking behind the mentaining the new cost variant.If ur created the new one using the same same parameter which is used in PM01 & PM02 .so its rework.all that i mean u get the same output as standard SAP gives .So try to avoid creating new one if ur nt having option den create new one it will not damage any costing parameter while order processing .but do take help of CO and FI while creating Costing variant and costing sheet. it will work.
if u get ur ans pla reward with points,

Mixed Costing on two different Costing Variants at the same time.

Dear All,
I have already configured mixed costing on my Costing variant PPC1, now i need to configure the same on another costing variant ZPSM, i have done all the setting for Costing type, Valuation variant and costing versions for mixed costing for the later costing variant, and maintained the mixing ratios for the product, but the system is not taking into account the mixed costing for the later variant.
Can anybody help me out on this? or is it not possible to do mixed costing for two costing variants at the same time?
Regards
Rashid

I have done it ...hehehhehehe.

Costing variants assignment

Hi,
I have completed creating costing variants. I somehow have to bind these costing variants with order types. Can somebody help me and give me a TCODE or tell me where I can find the costing variants assigment in SPRO.
Are there any important settings in assignment or do I have to simly bind PP order types with costing variants?
Best wishes,
Karol

Hi Karol
After creation of costing variants and valuation variants you hv to assign them to PP orders for Production order costing
Here are the steps you need to look into
Go to cost object controlling node
1) Check costing variant for Manf Orders PP - Here you copy standard variants for Planned and actual order costing and create your own orders. the valuation variant assigned to planned order here should be same as the one assigned to std cost estimate. Similarly for actual production orders assign actual valn variant
2) Check valn variant for Manf orders
- Here assign the valuation variants
3) Then check the order types - here u should assign settlement profile created for production order settlement
4) Check for costing relevant default paramters for PP orders
Here u need to assign RA Key and the Planned costing varaint and valuation varaint in Prelm Costing and in Simultaneuous costing - assign actual valuation variants and actual costing variant created for PP orders
Let me know if you need any more clarifications on the above - Pls assign points if the above helps you in your final steps of configuration for product costing

Actual costing variant

We can define plan costing variant as well as actual costing variant. I know that plan costing variant is used for costing run for the material to update standard cost. Then, where do we use the actual costing variant and what is its purpose ?

Hi Nikkitha,
No Plan costing is not for calculating standard costing for a material. Both Plan COsting & Actual Costing are used in Production or Proces order scenario. Plan Costing is used to calculate the Preliminary Cost of the Prod. Order after it has been created. It can be & usually is different from Standard Cost Estimate which in Production order scenario is Target Cost. Actual Cost in a Prod. Order is calculated based on Actual Costing variant configuration & its comparison with target cost will give us variance, WIP.

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

REM Product cost collectors and Production version

Hi All,
Can some one pls let me know
What are the product cost collectors in REM and how to create the product cost collectors ?
What is the production version and the difference between production version and controlling version?
Thanks & Regards,
Bujji

Dear Bujji,
A product cost collector is a cost object in Product Cost by Period that collects the periodic actual costs incurred in the production of a material. It can be created in txn KKF6N.
[Product Cosr Collector|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/EN/08/77ba810a1611d3a6b900104b55d538/frameset.htm]
[Product Cost Collectors: Collective Entry for Repetitive Manufacturing |http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/EN/08/77ba810a1611d3a6b900104b55d538/frameset.htm]
A production version determines the various production techniques that can be used to produce a material. It defines the following information:
Alternative BOM for a BOM explosion
Task list type, task list group, and group counter for assignment to task lists
Lot-size restrictions and period of validity
A material can have one or more production versions.
It can be defined in the Material Master (txn MM02) in one of the following views:
MRP 4
Work Scheduling
Costing 1
The costing version is a different issue. It is a costing parameter and is used to save several cost estimates for the same material, with the same costing variant and the same costing date (e.g. in oder to cost the material several times with minor changes without creating new costing variants).

Material Cost - Costing Variant

Hope you guys having great Day,
I have an issues related to Costing Variant and Material Cost. Please check below.
Material #123456 at 1ABC is showing a cost of $0.36/EA(Bag) in Costing Variant Z001, but it is showing a cost of $35.61/EA(Bag) in Costing Variant Z002(PRCT VAL). The cost should be what is showing in Z001. How do we correct the cost to be the same in costing variant Z002
Appreciate your time.
Thanks

Hello-
Please compare valuation variant for both the costing variants and see where is the difference. You can check it by using transaction code OKKN for costing variants and OKK4 for valuation variants. This is where you would normally determine material valuation strategies.

Can we use two costing variants for standards cost estimate release.

Hi,
We have 2 plants (plant 5100 and plant 5200) under company code 5000.
We have run standard cost estimate(CK11N) for material 98001000027 at plant 5100 using costing variant ZG01 and at plant 5200 using costing variant ZG02. First, we released standard cost estimate (CK24) for this materia at plant 5100 and set (in marking allowance) costing variant ZG01 and costing version 01. Next time when we are trying to release the standard cost estimate for the same material for plant 5200, it is automatically picking ZG01 as costing variant in marking allowance and it is not allowing to change the costing variant to ZG02 saying Company code 5000: Release already carried out, cancellation not possible, Message no. CK797.
Is it possible to use two different costing variants for release of standard cost estimate for a material at two different plants at the same company code? If so how?
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Bijay

Hi,
Thanks for your reply again.
What is the benefit of assigning "Single Valuation Variant same to different Plants" ? In costing variant also we can assign maximum only one valuation variant and this valuation variant will default for all the plants, and hence I dont think it is necessary to assign same valuation variant to different plants.
My issue is :
Example: ( Standard Cost Estimate for material 98001000027)
Plant - 1
Material Cost                                             Rs.100
Labour Cost                                               Rs.50
Overheads (10% of Labour Cost)                  Rs.5
(say ,through costing sheet - 1)
Total Standard Cost Estimate                      Rs.155
Plant - 2
Material Cost                                             Rs.150
Labour Cost                                               Rs.100
Overheads (20% of Labour Cost)                  Rs.20
(say, through costing sheet - 2)
Total Standard Cost Estimate                      Rs.270
Now, Please explain why we cannot have two Standard Cost Estimates for a material at two different plants? If it is possible to have two standard cost estimates for a material at two different plants, how to take care of overheads (rate of which varies) at two different plants (plant - 1 > 10% and plant- 2>20%) as we can assign maximum one costing sheet to a valuation variant variant?
How to map the system so as to meet the above requirement?
Thanks,
Bijay

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
