Preliminary costing and Simultaneous costing

hello gurus,
can any one explain the difference between Preliminary costing and Simultaneous costing in Product cost by Period.
Regards
rihana

In product cost by period you are generally using product cost collectors. The preliminary cost estimate is the estimated cost for the product cost collector prior to manufacturing. The cost estimate is calculated when the product cost collector is saved and the estimate is based on the costing variant that is assigned. Simultaneous costing happens as a result of manufanufacturing and the confirmation process. It represents the cost of the materials, activitities, and overhead that are actually charged to the product cost collector. Typically, with product cost collectors materials and activities are backflushed. The amount of the backflush can be based on the preliminary product cost estimate or a standard cost estimate. Simultaneous costing uses a different costing variant then preliminary costing, so valuation strategies for materials, activities, and overhead can be different for both as well.
thanks,

In which table production order planned cost and actual cost i can see?

Dear PP Guru,s,
from which table i can see productuion order planned and actaul cost. i checked following tables AUFK, AFVC, AFVV, CAUFV, AFRU, AFKO, AFPO. but i did not found planned cost and actual cost field. is there any other way to get this data with respect production order?

Dear,
Planned and actual costs of prod order from COEP, COSS, COSP S027 tables
production order shows the planned cost based on the quantity structure.
Please refer my reply in this thread for details,

Target cost and actual cost not picking in production order

Hello,
The target cost and actual cost is not updating in production order when I display it in CO03 in cost analysis.
Even though we have maintained planned price in KP26.
Please suggest how it can be populated.
Best Regards,
Tapan

Hi Tapan
For Target cost
1. Your std cost must be released before Goods Receipt
2. There must be goods receipt posted on the prod order
3. You must calculate variances in KKS1/2
For Actual Cost
1. Post Goods receipt and Goods issues
2. See if any mat movements are pending in COGI
3. Ensure that operation is confirmed in PP and no entry is lying in COFC

Function Module to find Planned Costs and Actual Costs against WBS element

Dear All,
We have a requirement where we need to find out the Planned Costs and Actual Costs booked against a WBS element, in a year. The costs can be against all the plan versions or on individual plan version.
Are there any function modules to retrieve this value?
Thanks for the help.
Warm Regards,
Judith

Hi,
The easiest way would be to get the OBJNR for all WBS elements from PRPS and look up RPSCO and summarize for Value type (RPSCO-WRTTP) 1 for planned cost and 4 for Actual cost.
Please let me know if this helps.

Estimated Cost and Actual Cost

Hi Friends,
Can someone tell me, which MM tables(logically database) has these fields stored?? Estimated cost and Actual cost??
Note : Where and How can I find the logical data base??
Thanks alot in advance,

Yes thank so much for your quick help.
I see here we can get 1- Plan cots , 4 Actual cost, But in PMCO, how can we get the estimated cost, I see that WRTTP = 1 also contain the value for estimated cost but not plan cost . Please help me.
Thanks

IW32 needed Plan Cost and Actual Cost table name

Hello ,
In IW32 transaction Plan Cost and Actual cost in cost tab ---Table Name.
Req: needed plan cost & actual cost table names for particular order number.( For New Report )
Can you please let me know where Plan cost & actual cost get stored in IW32 in Cost tab ( table name / function module name ) or how its get calcualted for particular order number.
Thanks in advance !
Regards
Rahul

hi ,
i too had same issue , i wrote following FS for that :
Actual and planned cost from PMCO-WRT00 to WRT12(the sum of values should be considered for actual as well as planned ) for PMCO-OBJNR taken from CAUFV -OBJNR for order number AFIH-AUFNR and also currency from CAUFV-WAERS .
Actual cost will have valuation type PMCO-WRTTP = 4 and planned cost will have valuation type PMCO-WRTTP = 1 , which will be placed in different column
hope this helps

Costs and settled costs layout in standard reports

Hello guys !
what needs to be done in order to have a report, for example, S_ALR_87013543 , splitted by costs and settled costs (debit/credit) ? I can't find a layout or smth.
Thanks guys.

Hi
Include this ZPP2 in a separate report group (GR51)... After that,
1. Create the transaction code,say, ZF01_TCODE from Se93
2. Choose "Transaction with parameters".. Press enter
3. Enter START_REPORT in the Transaction field and press Enter
4. Select the Skip initial screen and Inherit GUI attributes check boxes
5. On the same screen, scroll down to the Default Values table and select parameters D_SREPOVARI-REPORTTYPE and
D_SREPOVARI-REPORT.
6. Enter RW for the report type and your report group ZCC8 as the report value
7. Now you can save your transaction and transport it to other systems

Target cost and planned cost

What is the difference between Target cost and planned cost in discrete production orders? Please advise.

Dear
Planned costs will be updated after creation of production order.
Target costs will be updated after delivery of the production order.
Plan cost = Plan qty X Planned price (std. cost estimate)
Actual cost = Actual qty X Actual price
Target Cost = Actual qty X Planned price (std. cost estimate)

Huge Variance between Target cost and Actual Cost

Hi,
In Product Costing,I am getting Huge variance between Target cost and Actual Cost.It is showing the Target Cost as ZERO.Why i am getting this target cost as Zero? what could be the reason? Kindly help me in fix this issue.
Thanks
Supriya

Dear,
First do the GR final DEV for Production order
You need to do the variance calculation in KKS2, then when you save the variance, the target cost is calculated.
Target cost appear after GR. And you will get the Variance also right.
Please try and come back.

Target Cost and Actual Cost

Hi All,
When is the target cost and actual cost gets populated and from where does the data comes from liek labour,machine,overhead cost comes?
Thanks in advance

Dear Friend,
speaking from controlling point of view, target and actual costs will be flown from "costing variant planned" and "costing variant actual" respectively.In above mentioned varinats, whats the process has to be followed to calculate material costs,activty costs,overhead costs etc will be defined. These variants will be assigned in order type dependent parameters OPL8.
Target Costs - In standard cost estimate(ck11n),target cost will be calculated in the following way
                          -material cost from material master and BOM
                          - activity costs from routing( for this u need to plan the activity costs in KP26)
                          - other costs from the definitions of planned costing variant.
                   - after running the standard cost estimate,u need to mark n release(ck24).
Actual Costs - material costs frm goods issues (via goods mvmts thru MBIA,MB1B etc) against
                      production/process order.
                          - activity costs(as per the price u plannned in KP26)through operation confirmation in
                            COR6N/CO11N.
                          - any other costs like overheads,cost center issues etc as per the process defined
                            in 'actual costing variant'.
Hope this will clear your doubt.

Function Module to Find Actual costs and Total Cost Commitments

Hi PS Experts ,
Please let me know if there is any function module to find Acutal costs and Total cost commitments by passing WBS element as Input .
Regards,
Karan

Hi Karan,
I think for actual cost - there is definately one FM availbale. Try to find it out.
Just ensure - if you are using Network Activity then you may have to pass NWA OBJNR into this FM to get actual cost. As some entry posting happens against NWA like Timesheet. Hope it will give you some idea to get rid on your issue.

Actual costs and Planned Costs

HI Friends
I want to know the Main Tables from which i can get the Actual costs and Planned Costs for the given Cost element or object number
 I tried with table COEP and i got actual costs up to all cost elements in the given controlling area and in given cost center , but for some cost elements, this tables does not have any entries...
So is there any other way to get these Actual costs and
from where i can find the Planned Costs
Reagrds Rk

Hi
I already checked these tables but i didn't get the exact data
for actual costs i checked COEP but some costs are missing there
and i could n't find the field BENKZ in coep table
 I am comparing these values with the standard transaction S_ALR_87013611 
but not getting exact details in my program
can you please help me in this regard..
Does anybody worked on this transaction S_ALR_87013611 , then please explain me the logic how it is getting the actual and planned costs
Regards Rk

Dashboard content is not populated with Planned Cost and Actual Cost

Hi
We are working in cProjects 4.0 + ECC 6.0 implementation. I could not get the data for columns in Planned Cost and Actual Cost in cProjects Project Dashboard. I have properly mapped the config settings and created and assigned a Project in PS
Has anybody got this data in the Dashboard?
Kindly suggest the solution
with regards,

Hi Rama,
It is difficult to say, where the problem is.
but typically, the causes of the problem are
customizing is set incorrectly or the evaluation is not carried out.
You can run the the evaluation DPR_EVE_BATCH_DPO additionally, please untick the flag 'check the last changed date'.
Hope, it helps.
Kind regards,

What is the difference between est. cost, CPU cost, and IO cost

When looking at and execution plan there is est. cost, CPU cost, and IO cost.
Can someone explain these and more importantly explain which one is the most
important to tune and the step to take to reduce these cost to a respect level.
I have seen many program hit 10,000 cost and 1 Mio CPU cost and I need to get that down to improve performance.
I am running on 10.2.
Thanks
Mikie

Hi Olivier,
sorry to disagree but:

is just not right.
The amount of work to do for the database to get the job done (that is to deliver the requested results) may vary A LOT!
That is why there is a optimizer at all.
It's true: I/O cost model the time required to perform necessary read/write operations and CPU cost do the same for handling the data in memory.
With indexes, database features active and database versions the optimizer can choose from selecting different access, filter and sorting mechanisms to answer the db requests.
Usually there's not much you can do to the CPU costs - the database has it's internal rating concerning how "expensive" a sort-merge-join will be or a hash-distinct function.
What you can (and usually should) do, is to lower the main contributor to processing and I/O costs: the volume of data.
Therefore one will try to reduce the number of rows to be processed early in the query process. That can either be done by changing the selection itself or via the indexing scheme. Furthermore physical I/O might be reduced by using specific db features (compression, datablock sizing, bitmap indexes, partitioning etc.).
Anyhow, to come back to the original post: it's important to think of costs as time-to-execute modelled in CPU-activity and I/O-operations.
The goal is to deliver the result at the fastest - so, nobody should bother about the absolute numbers when it comes to costs. The question has to be: what execution time is meant with this?
