Prerequisites for costing run

Can anybody tell me the prerequisites for costing run..
I thought the requisites are BOM and routing only.. Is there anything else..
What is a Product cost collector... Please explain the importance of the same..

Pre - Requisites for costing Run :
1. Material Master With costing view
2. BOM
3. Routing.
4. Workcentre ( with cost centre / Activity type)
Once when you have all the master data then a costing variant should is required.
this is at configuration level.
Product Cost collector:
1. these are used in the Repetivite manufacuting sceenarion.
2. in Rem we dont have individual production orders, we willcreate one produce cost collector for the material/plant /production version combination.
3. This actually genarates a CO order
4. This product cost colletor becomes the central point for collection of all cost related to that material
5. All the costs collected here will be settled to the material periodicaly..
6. You can create PCC with kkf6n.
Kindly let me know ur feedback

Pre-requiste for costing run

Hi
VERP, ROH are in BOM with S and price determination 3, FERT and HALB are also on Standard price.
I want to run costing run for semi-finished and finished materials in May 2010 in QA but May is not open.
I am going to maintain ROH prices via MR21 system response that prices could be maintained in period 4-2010.
I think if I maintained prices in 4-2010 then close the period 4 and open period 5, costing run will not pick the prices of ROH because these prices are not maintained in period 5. Material ledger is active.
Please advise pre-requisites for costing run in period 5-2010.
thanks
imdad

Hi,
When you use actual costing in Material Ledger,a price must be
released before the first goods movement in the period.
The sequence is as follows:
1. calculate and mark ALL prices BEFORE MMPV
2. run MMPV   to open the period
3. run price release (CK42N, CK24, CKME)
To ensure a complete release of ALL prices, it exists the dynamic price
release. That means postings, which occur after step 2, but before
of total completion of step 3, will release prices dynamically. That
means, a price change document is automatically triggerd by and posted
together with the goods movement.
For materials with Price determination control 3 this new price released price must
remain during the period.

Selection List for Costing Run

Hi guys
I vaguely remember that there is a place where I can create a selection list on only the materials that I want to cost in CK40n, but I cant seem to find it any more.
I tried the CKMATSEL - Create transaction, but when I go to execute the Selection in CK40n, I dont see what I created in CKMATSEL...
Is there any other way or am I doing something wrong in the CKMATSEL screen?
Thank you
Rukshana

Hi Rukshana,
Pls go through the following which may be of help...
1. If you want to exclude the Materials from a single Costing Run...
If you want to exclude some Materials from Costing Run, when you select the Materials to be costed in the "Selection Parameters" of Costing Run, press the Arrow button for additional selections, click on "Exclude Single Values" and mention the Materials which you want to exclude from the Costing Run.
In the selection, you can select all the Plants (Plant 1 to Plant 4). By this, system will exclude those materials which you mentioned from all Plants when you run the Cost Estimate.
2. If you want to exclude the Materials from being costed on permanent basis...
Go to MM17 (materials mass maintenance), select the "Fields" tab, "Find" - "NCOST", select that row, press "Execute". Now, select/give all the Materials which you want to exclude from being costed, mention the Plants and "Execute". You will see the list of Materials which you have mentioned and on the right hand side, you will see the column with "NCOST" field. Mark "X" for all materials there.
This NCOST field is nothing but "Do Not Cost" check box in "Costing1" of Material Master. By this, system will understand that, whenever Cost Run is done, all these materials should be excluded from being costed.

Add addition import duty cost to materials for costing run

Hi All,
Whats the best solution to add the additional cost of import duty on materials imported into China?
Is adding an additive cost (CK74N) possible and the best solution? This way it will be picked up automatically in costing run?
Cheers
Tony

Thanks Jeyakanthan. Can you give me more details though?
Are you saying to configure the additive cost? Assign it to the materials in question and then run the costing run?

Costing run with values for material from info record.

Hi All
there is requirement with my client, that when i run my costing run the values of the components in BOM should be from the latest purchase order.
For this i am maintined valuation criteria as price from info record and sub strategy as gross price from PO.
When i am create a PO the info record is created automatically in background. So when i run costing run the value is picked correctly.
Now when i create a PO with same material from diff vendor the info record is generated, but on costing run it picks the value from the info record of earlier vendor. For this i go and check the conditions tab in info record, ensure its balnk and save it. Again generate new PO and then run a costing run. This time the system reads the latest info record.
My problem is that i want to ensure that during the costing run, system should read the latest info record w/o manual intervention. System behaviour is not consistent when there is multiple vendor and same material info records. Sometimes it pick up the value and sometimes it refers the old info record.
Can any one help me out in resolving this issue. Its critical.
Regards
Rakesh

Hi!
Generally first info records will be created with vendor, then PO will be created, based on info records price, price will be updated in PO.
If you have more than one vendor for same material, you have to create info records for each vendor. then you need to maintain source list, where you can fix the vendor. If there is no fix vendor, then you can do schedule agreement with vendors, where you have to give proportionate percentages again each vendor.
Now for costing run :
1. if you have only one info record, the price will take from that info record.
2. if you have more than one info record, you need to mantain source list, where you can tick the fixed vendor, then system will take price from that vendor info record.
3. if there is no fixed vendor and you have maintained scehduel agreement with weightage to vendor, then higher percentage vendor info record price will be picked up.
4. if you have more info reocrds, not maintianed source list or schedule agreement, price will be picked up from first info record ( based on info record creation date).
5. if you have a schedule agreement, but you have given equal weightage for example 50% and 50%, then also system will pick up from first info record.
i think it is clear now.

Costing run for MRP-MPN set

Hai,
I am using MPN concept in my process.
Here I am getting one problem while going for Costing Run.
1. In BOM component for FERT is maintained as leading part. on which there is no Inventory maintained or no value for this material in Material Master so in costing run it is taking that value.
2. How costing run consider the MPN materials for Costing.
Thank & regards
KM

Hi,
Normally while creating the material master, we will maintain some approximate value in the accounting view. Then later while running the cost estimation, it will explode the BOM, routing it will calculate the BOM item component costs and the activity costs and the same it will update in the costing 2 view. This is the concept of standard cost estimation.
MPN material is the manufacturer part no. While procuring the component or while supplying the components to the supplier we need to supply the material as per their material no we need to supply them or procure them. But for our easy handling or to follow our own system we will me maintain the different material no. This 2 things we need to link MPN profile and the MPN material no. When u order your own material, the system in turn will create a purchase order with the vendor material no. This is the MPN material logic.

V. Suresh

Unable to Release Costing Run

Hi All
I am in the process of testing the costing run in a test environment - however, everytime I try to release my Costing estimate - I keep getting the below error:
Company code: Release too early
Message no. CK157
My requirement is to have the new cost on the materials on 29/11/2009 - which is the first day of period 12.
What should be my date parameters?
Thank you
Rukshana

Hi,
a) We can execute the Standard cost Estimate/Costing Run-CK40 N only for Current period and also for Future posting periods. However it is not possible for u201Cpast/completed/closed periods. Again, you can u201CMarku201D the standard price for current and future periods. For u201CReleasingu201D the standard price, you need to wait for opening of the respective posting period. In your case, on 29/11/2009, you can complete the Costing Run-CK40N steps till u201CMarkingu201D of standard price. To u201CRelease the standard price for the material, you need to wait till opening of 12-posting period. If you want to execute u201CCosting Runu201D for individual materials for specific plant, use t-code CK11N and for Mark and Release of material standard price, use t-code-CK24. Otherwise, for Costing Run of Group/Mass Material s for all the Plants, and also Mark and Release of all materials prices, use t-code-CK40N.
b) how the Cost Change posts to the P&L and also how the material master gets updated...
By executing the u201CStandard Cost Estimate--Costing Run-CK40N, we can get the planned price/standard price for current or future periods. The respective material master will be updated with u201CCurrent Standard Priceu201D. NO ACCOUNTING ENTRIES WILL BE GENERATED.
The system will automatically posts the P&L GL accounting entries only during the u201CActual consumption of materialu201D, i.e., during execution of Back-flush and Confirmation of Production/process Orders.

Transfer control in Costing Run

Hi ,
I was trying costing a material in ck40n using standard costing variant.Here if I don't specify any
Transfer control, I am able to cost the material multiple times. How ever if I use a specific transfer control,
The material is nor getting selected for costing run.Is there any specific reason for the same.
Please highlight.
Regards
Rudra

Hi
The purpose of Transfer Control is to transfer the existing Cost Estimates... It cant prevent the selection of a material for costing
In Transfer Control - You can choose Single Plant / Cross Plant strategy.... based on that, the existing cost estimates are either Transferred or not transferred

Costing run in PP

Dear all,
I am new to costing run,by using previous forum from the expert of kumar and rupesh i have studied the costing run process
From my understanding
1) For FG/SFG materials with quantity structure to be maintained in material master.
2) Relevant BOM and routing should be maintained for FG/SFGmaterials.
3) In work center proper cost center and activity type to be maintained
4 )what are the activity type is maintaining in work center for that price to be determined in KP26 for valid time period.
5) By using CK11N running the standard cost estimate and save
6)By using ck24 marking and release the price of the material.
7)Now checking in material master costing view 2 planned prices values has updated.
In above points kindly please correct me if i am wrong.
Regarding doubts
For example;1)I am maintaining fixed prices as 102 in material master,what will be in COGM & COGS cost value?(if cost lot size 1 & 100)
2)What will the price value in costing 2 view once after marking & releasing the price in ck24?
3)I have mainatined labour price in kp26 but tha cost values its coming as zero?
Kindly please let me clarify on this
Regards
Rajasekaran

Dear Muralidhar,
The flow path for Costing Run is
SAP Menu
- Production
- Product Cost Planning
- Material costing
- Costing Run - CK40N
Or else
SAP Menu
- Production
- Product Cost Planning
- Material costing
- Cost Estimate with Quantity Structure
- CK11N - Create.
I hope your question is answered.
If satisfied rewards suitable points and close the thread as asnwered.

Procedure for Cost rollup

Hi,
i need to costing run for few materials for our client. but i am confusing on configuration process of cost rollup. can u give the configuration on from cost center creation to costing run with step by step and those are appreciated.

Go by t-code CK40N for costing run.
Feed the parameters with values, like which plant, material, costing variant, validity date etc. Open up the processing tab and click on execute to go to every step therein.
You need to have BOMs and routings already available for those materials you are trying to cost.

What is "Frozen Costing Run"?

Dear Experts,
I came across this word, "Frozen Costing Run" and I'm not sure whether it is the same with "Costing run"..
Does anyone know what is the difference and what's it for?
regards,
Abraham

Hi Ajay,
Thanks for replying.
I was actually trying to run a simulation test based on the "Standard Cost Calculation (178)" business process.
According to the step-by-step guide, we need to execute the "Costing Run" t-code : CK40N and later being reviewed and also run AOP-revenue cost-of-sales transfer, and then finally got to execute the "Frozen Costing Run" t-code CK40N before being marked and released.
Both the steps for "Costing Run" and "Frozen Costing Run" are the same expect being saved into different costing version. The former is saved into version 2 wherease the latter saved into version 1.
What's the differences between version 1 and 2?
regards,
Abraham

How to run GR55 reports in background for cost center hierarchies

1. I have been asked by our users to create batch jobs to run in the background for some GR55 reports, that can then be sent directly to cost center managers via email.
I have figured out the process to do this as long as the cost center manager only needs to see a single cost center at a time. However, if they are in charge of multiple cost centers, we also want to send them a summarized report using the hierarchy we have set up. I can't seem to make this work, as the job only seem to recognize the last cost center in the group and the report is for that cost center.
Example. cost centers 100, 200 and 300 belong to hierarchy abc. If I run the job just for cost center 100 it is fine. But if I have a variant to run hierarchy abc, or even if I use the range 100 to 300, all I get is a report for cost center 300.
We cannot use BW because we only have revenue in BW. I am being asked to make this work from standard R/3 within the GR55 realm of reporting.
2. In addition, the report selection criteria includes two separate plan/forecast versions. They need to update these each month prior to running the reports and sending them out. I looked at the variables associated with the versions and tried to set them up with default values that I hoped would update automatically so that they don't have to manually change 50 or so variants each month. But I don't see any dynamic variables that I can use to have the system make that change without going into each variant individually.
3. There is another piece to this equation as well. There is another report they want sent out in batch, but it is several pages wide in SAP and several pages long. So when you run it in batch and either spool it or get it sent as an email, it is very ugly in the formatting due to all the page splits horizontally and vertically. If anyone knows how to get the report to stay together like it would if you had excel integration turned on, it would be very helpful. I have tried running it with that integration turned on, but the jobs are set up with user batch_mgr and not my id, so it isn't working well. The batch_mgr id is just a system id, not a dialog id. We also don't want the jobs set up with a regular user id because if people leave, then the jobs all need to be changed.

Kim,
I may have options for issues 1 and 2. In case of 3, what I can tell you is I understand the concern, but this is what typically happens in some standard CO reports that are not ALV compatible, I don't think there is not much there to do unless you add some custom code for the output.
In regards to point 1, yes, I have noticed that this happens in some standard and custom reporting, not sure what is going on. I came up with a work around that made the trick for my client in a similar scenario; which is editing the cost center groups. For instance, instead of having the group set as a range from 100 to 300, the groups are have listed the cost centers, 100, 200 and 300. Obviously, the disadvantage of this option is that it would require a bit of more cost center group maintenance.
In regards to point 2, I understand from your note that your users already have set up selection variants for the report. One option for you is to get the help from a developer to create a custom period variable and tiny program that runs in batch every month that would update that variable accordingly. Once that's done, you may have to update at least once, the selection variant attributes to change the period to a selection variable, so everytime from that point of time forward that the variable gets updated, it will be ready with the right value for every selection variant that uses it.
Hope this helps.

Cost Run for Raw Material taking Standard Price instead of Moving Price

Hi all,
We ran a material costimate with normal components FG>SFG>RM. The RM price Control is set to
V (Moving Average Price) and for SFG & FG it is S(Std. Price). After we run CK11N, the price for
RM in Material Master changes as per Moving Price. We found that the RM Component is
costed based on Standard Price and not on the previous cost run Moving Average Price. After
certain period, if we again do cost run, the sytem is again picking up the standard price for costing
not the revised Moving Price. We have checked the Valuation Variant in the Costing Variant, where the strategy given is 1. Moving Average Price 2. Standard Price. We also tried to change the
sequence as 1. Price as per Purchase Info Record 2. Moving Average Price and 3. Standard Price and
also 1. Standard Price and 2. Moving Average Price. Our requirement is when we run the cost estimate the raw material has to pick the price of previous moving price stored in the Material Master. Kindly tell us where to set the indicator.
Thanks,
Sadashivan

Hi Srikanth,
Problem solved. I checked the sequence in Valuation Variant and modified in Valuation Variant for Plant which I have not set previously and now the system is working correctly.
Thanks,
Sadashivan

Restrict all goods movements for materials untill the latest costing run ex

Hi dudes,
1 here i have a requirement that i need to restrict all goods movements in the month for all materials(SFG,FG) untill the latest costing run(standard cost estimate) on 1st of each month.
2. Can we restrict the status of process order in such a way that Conformation can be done only after the goods issues against production order. The goods receipt can be done only after the conformation of the process order.
Thanks in advance.
Robert.

Robert,
Procedurally you can block, by not opening the current period, before the costing run is completed, just when you wanted to release the cost estimate, at that time you can lock all users and then open the next period and then release your cost estimate and then unlock all the users. You need to work with your Basis/MM/FICO guys to have this procedure implemented.
On the GI Check before confirmation and Confirmation check before GR, you can use Confirmation and GR releated User exits to check. There are many posts on this topic, a simple search on this forum would take you to the thread.

Prasobh

Delete cost run & reset release for current month

For our client we have created a new plant while testing this plant user created a material and they have done a cost run in ck11n with costing varient zv01 but in they released the cost with costing varient ppc1 with this system got inconsistency and not not allowing to release cost for any other material in the current month if we try to mark it for next month it is working fine.
we deleted the cost run through ck44 & ckr1 then also we are faceing the same problem. Kindly give me the solution how can i reset the release and later i want to run the ck11n & ck24 for material in the current month to do the production cycle. please consider this is as a urgent.
Regards
Chakravarthy

Hi
Whether you should do MR21 or not ??
a. If the cost estimate you reversed belongs to Last month and you are going to post the GR in last month then you should do MR21
b. if the cost estimate you reversed belongs to may and GR will also be posted in May - No need for Mr21... Because, even though you release cost on say, may 2nd, the cost always gets released from the Start of the Month
