Price update in costing run

Hi All,
We have 2 costing variant for the company code. Out of the 2 costing variant, we have to block one costing varimonthly price update after costing run for one costing variant.
Unchecking the option of 'Save estimate' in costing variant under update tab has resulted into blocking of cost estimate by t.code - CK11N.
Regards,
Abhishek

Hi Abhishek,
Create/Copy costing type in transaction OKKI. If you are getting an error message while creating new one, try copying the existing one to a new costing type.
As regards, assigning the new costing type to existing costing variant - I don't think system allows you to change the costing/valuation variant for an existing costing variant. You can change other parameters (date control etc.,), however.
You can copy the existing costing variant to a new one and assign the newly created costing type (with no update setting).
Hope this helps.

Random check before releasing price updation in costing run

Hi all,
Before releasing the price with standard cost estimate how we have to check the correctness of prices & costs of materials.
Please suggest any standard SAP solution is available or any other way to check correctness of cost estimate & prices of materials.
thanks & regards,
ramesh B

If you are doing the costing run through ck40n then you can see the error message if any generated against the marking. If there is no items for which there is any error, then u can release the cost.
Next you can take a sample checkup of the Material Master Costing 2 tab to see whether there is any amount entered under the future tab with the posting period as the period for which the costing is done.

Costing run-Standard price

Dear experts,
How we can update standard price in material master in the same month once it get updated with costing run which is updated with wrong values?
Please let me know we can do this,it is very urgent will assign full points,
Regards,
Surendra babu.

Use CKR1 with caution. If you do not enter the material and the plant, it can ruin all the cost estimates.
Adjust the master data of price or quantity structure and then re-run the cost estimate for the future valid period and then mark and release.

INFO RECORD PRICE UPDATING

Hi guys,
I have a semifinished good for which the std price is getting updated by Costing Run(PP). Now I want to release the P.O for the same price to Vendor.
How it is possible to update the info record net price with Std price of the master record automaticaly.
And I need to add the overhead cost by condition types and save the Info record.
Please guide with your valuable inputs.
Point shall be awarded.
Thanks,
Dhanu.

Hi,
Please create Info record for the vendor in ME 11 with the standard price in the Material Master record
Normally for purchasing info record for Semi finished goods only Moving average price is preffered.
After creating the Info create P.O.

Price updating

Hi gurus,
when ever we run standard cost estimation in CK11N, and save it, means the standard cost estimation saved.
1)means the cost of the material was updated or not? Or it is necessary to run CK24,
2) if we must run CK24, then what is the advantage to save standard cost estimate.
can u explain
thanqu

Hello
steps....in costing run
first you will consider the materials for costing (CK11 for single material and CK40N for more)
then explode BOM for listed material
then system will calculate the material price,,,as per costing BOM and plan price of componets. after validation,, you can release them
Releasing costing result means material price will update, not the planned price. Material price that is standard material price. the stadrd price for paralle valuation approch also possible,,,,legal. PCA valuation as per material ledger configuration.material document will be created, material value in FI will be updated as per new price released from costing run...that can increase the mat value in FI or otherwise also

Costing run for a material with alternative BOM

Hi Friends,
My requirement is to have product costing for a material with 3 different BOMs, in CK11N i can change the alternative BOM number to have costing run for 3 differesnt boms, but in ck24 how to proceed, My client requirement is such that the standard price should be the average price of the costing run from 3 different boms, and they are not interested in manual price change in MR21
Regards,
Arun Kumar R V

Hi Arun,
You can have a Standard cost estimate based on only one of the alternative BOM and Routing. This alternative is selected based on the business ie., whichever alternative is generally used in production frequently. This will be the std cost and whenever you do the production using the other alternatives, the difference in cost will be captured as Variance.
There is no option of having average or cost estimate for each alternative at the same time.
There is absolutely no use in maintaining price in MR21 for an in house produced material, since during Prod Order process the planned costs will be arrived at based on the quantity structure of BOM & Route only.

Price update step in Costing run to other prices probelm - Very urgent ...

Hi All,
Can anyone tell me why does it updates only 1100 materials prices to commercial price though costing has been carried for 7900 materials? I have selected the price to be updated to commercial price 1 and as said above only 1100 only are shown under materials and 6800 materials are shown as still open in my costing run
I have looked into it, it appears to me that its becos of materials without quantity structure, their prices are not getting update to other prices
If anyone has any clue or infact a solution for this issue, please do help me
Thanks in advance
Kumar

Hi Suraj,
thanks a lot for ur quick reply. I think ur reply has answered most of my question, however in my costing run I have selected all the materials in my plant, meaning the materials which are purchased (no quantity structure/raw materials)also. So from ur reply I understand that for the raw materials or materials with no qnty structure the prices are not updated in the material master to other prices but, if it is a std cost estimate, mark, release process then it updates the future, current stnd prices right?
Please confirm me on that, bcos I have used a different costing variant from a regular one that I use for std cost est. I have defined the variant with costing type "ad hoc for commercial price" and with update as "other than std price". I want to make sure is the problem discussed above is due to my costing variant customization or is it bcos in price update function materials with no qnty sturcture are not updated in material master?
Your help is highly appreciated

Kumar

On costing run, Raw material price in Std price field is getting updated

Hi All
When i am executing costing run (CK40N) for a FG, the price field in Std price for a raw material is getting updated.
We are maintining price control as "V" in case of raw material.
Is this right? if not, how can this be avoided.
Regards
Rakesh Hase

HI Ian,
Given enough time and money, anything is possible....
You do not say which industry you are operating in. In some SAP industry solutions the functionality you describe is available - if I remember correctly IS Mill Product has something like that. It is available for use by companies that for example make copper cable. They get a regular copper price from an exchange.
But it would be relatively simple to get a feed from an exchange with the daily closing price, and then write a little program that will read that file and post an MR21 transaction to update the price.

Cost Run should not be getting executed on Material with Price Control V

Raw & Packing materials are with price control V in MM as company wants to keep them on moving average cost. Somehow finance users executed cost run on one such material and cost run was executed and the difference was posted in price difference. As far as I know, system shouldn't be allowing cost run on materials other than those having S as price control.
Question is: How to ensure system sends error if cost run is attempted to be executed on materials with Price Control V?

Hi
If you are executing cost run using CK40N, it releases the cost for all the materials i.e. both for the header and the components
the components may be usually valuated at V. So, the std price update for these will be only for information purposes and it wont revaluate your inventory for sure... This cant post to price difference.... Price diff upon std cost release will apply only to those materials which have price control S
However, if you dont want to release the cost for V items, you can specify them in the exclusion list... In Ck40N selection parameters you specify your plant/material, etc... While specifying the materials to be costed in the multiple selection screen, , you can also specify the ones not to be. Then std cost wont be released in those cases

Does Costing Run CK11n update the Info record?

Hi,
Will a costing run (Transaction CK11n) update the purchasing info record? In the source list for the material, the vendor is fixed.
Sincerely,
Ketan

No, Costing runs will only update the material with standard costs. For this standard costs it might refer the price maintained in the info-record, but the only update is on the material master, nowhere else

CK11n Costing Run does not pull purchasing price from info record.

Hi,
I have material which is a semi finished product (Material type: SEMI) and is purchased from a fixed vendor (specified in the source list).
The costing run does not pick up the purchasing price from the purchasing info record but
instead incorrectly picks up the standard price from the material master (Costing 2 view).
Can you please help me solve this issue?
Thanks,
Ketan

Execute OPL1
or
SPRo>>IMG>>Controlling>>Product Cost Controlling>>Cost Object Controlling>>Product Cost by Order>>manufacturing Order>>Check Costing Variants for Manufacturing Orders (PP)
Select the costing variant in the table from "Change Costing Variant: Overview" Overview Screen
Click Detail Button
Click Valuation Variant Button in the Control Tab
Change View Valaution Variant Detail Screen Appears
In Material Valuation Tab Set Price from Purchase Inforecord as Priority 1 if you want to use Price from Purchase Inforecord for semi-finished product during CK11N
You can list down Priority 2 to 5 depending on your requirement
This would solve your problem

Debit and Credit notes not to update COPA cost of sales when doing price ad

Hi Experts,
Please help me to fix the below issue.
When we correct price adjustments on customer accounts we use debit and credit notes to do these price corrections. We first process a ZCR order type with reference to the original invoice to reverse the transaction and then we process a debit meme request ZDR with the correct details to invoice the customer correctly.
These credit and Debit memo request are purley for pricing problems and do not effect cost of sales. Currently these Debit and credit memos are updating the cost of Sales value field (COS on Market Price - VV013) .
This creates a problem since the credit and debit memo happen in subsequent months e.g. The credit memo is reversed at the old cost of sales value since SAP keeps a reference to the cost of sales at that time but the debit memo creates the cost sales at the new standard cost which is obviously not the same as the original cost of sales. We therefore sit with differences which will not equal FI since FI cost of sales was updated with the goods issue price in the month that the goods issue happened.
We therefore need to zerorise the following value fields when doing ZDR dedit memo and billing type ZL2 and ZCR credit memo billing type ZG2.
Gross Weight in KG VV004
Invoiced Qty KG net VV002
Invoiced Qty in L VV001
Invoiced Qty in L15 VV003
Invoiced Quantity VV005
COS on Market Price VV013
VV001 to VV005 are quantity fields and VV013 is Value field.
Please help me how to fix the issue.
Regards,
Amar.

Hi,
Sorry, I probably confused things by mentioning Revenue. Your settings are correct, with Revenue defined as a revenue element (11) rather than a cost element (1).
With respect to WIP (P&L), I would create it as a cost element, since it represents the absorption of cost centre costs and materials into the production of goods, even though the goods are not yet complete. When the goods are completed they will be credited in CO-OM and debited to stock using a similar entry. The impact of these credits (to WIP or to Stock) is to move costs out of CO-OM into the goods produced (CoGS). In CO-OM, the net result of Costs less credits to WIP/Stock, indicates the efficiency of your cost centres or the accuracy of your standards.
I would also create the manufacturing variance accounts as Cost Elements and settle them back to your production costs centres (or possibly CO-PA if you used it), since they are also a reflection of the efficiency of your cost centres - i.e. if a Cost Centre manager is not achieving the standards, (s)he should be accountable for the variance, and if you are concerned about reconciling CO-OM and the costs in P&L, you won't reconcile if the variances aren't posted back to CO.

Marc

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,

Cost price update

Hi guys
i have a problem in updating cost price for all finished goods
we set in MM for all Raw Materials, process chemcials and packaging materials as moving average price and semi and finished goods items as standard
our raw material and packaging items changes prices once in a month based on international market prices. when we started SAP we updated these items prices and that price showing standard price field.
now when i updated FG cost price it is taking standard price cost for BOM and updating cost price and is not giving accurate costing. everymonth cost price is same since it is not taking moving average field price which is correct one
so guide me everymonth how to replace standard price field with moving average price field in MM so that cost price of the finished product will be accurate
total items are more than 4000 so please do not guide me to change manually by using MR21
Regards
Ved sai dut

Hi Ved,
Please check the priority of strategy sequence in the Valuation variant assigned to your Costing variant in Tcode OKKN. The first priority might have been set to standard price. So, Change it to 'Moving average price' and the system will read the prices in the Moving average price field in the material master.
You DO NOT have to use MR21 or change any material prices or use material ledger. If you set the priority to moving average price, the system automatically reads those prices in the BOM items while costing.
Hope this should resolve your issue.
Regards,
Vishnu.

Reversal of Cost Price Update and Price Change MR21

Dear SAP experts
Recently (on 1st of this month) i did cost price update for all my FIG items. Later i realized that some of FG items cost price was not accurate. So i want to delete cost price of those items and update price by using T code MR 21
When i try to cancel these items cost price by using T code CKR1, i am getting error message that particular material current or future standard price is avialable and i am unable to move further
Please guide how to delete current cost price of these items and update cost price by using MR21. Please note these items does not have any BOM and basically are contract manufacturing items
Thanks in advance

Hi Vedsai
When you use CKR1, it does not give error.. It just gives a warning message
Enter your Plant / Mat in CKr1 and select "Current cost estimate" or "Future Cost Estimate" as the case may be
If any warning comes, ignore it and press enter.... It should reverse the cost estimate
Now update from MR21 or preferably use CK11N again
Note: If at all it gives any error in CKR1, check in T code OPR4_CK if this msg can be converted into warning message
