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
Regards,
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.

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.

No Error Log generated in 'Costing' step in Costing Run (CK40N)

In the Costing Run, when the 'Costing' step is run (after 'Material selection' and 'BOM Explosion' steps), it gives a hard stop when it encounters the 1st error, instead of completing the 'Costing ' step and giving an Error Log with material information and nature of errors. This makes it very cumbersome to resolve all the errors.
In the Costing Variant setting in config, the u2018Save Error Log' indicator has been checked.
Please let me know if I am missing something.

Hi Vimal,
Your proposal does not resolve the issue. I found OSS Note 375901, which addresses this issue - see below
:In Customizing for the costing variant (Transaction OKKN) in the tab "Misc.", you chose "Messages online" for the Error Management option.
Solution
Change the error management for the costing variant to
"Log and Save Messages..."
Many thanks for your inputs.

Future price not deleted after cost run

Hi all,
If a material master has the future price maintained on the Accounting 1 view, then it is picked up in the next cost estimate that is created.
Costing strategy is Future price, Price from PIR, Standard cost.
However, I have been told that once the Cost estimate has been created, the future price is deleted from the material master. In this way the cost accountant can delay the release of a new standard price to avoid large re-valuations.
The future price is not being deleted following our cost run, can anyone advise on this?
Thanks
Phil.

Future prices will not delete when a cost estimate is released. If the Future Price is ACTIVATED (no cost estimate involved) then the Future price field will clear because it is "rolled forward" in the same manner that a Marked cost estimate is rolled forward to the Released Cost Estimate, leaving the field Future Planned Price on Costing 2 blank.
Be very careful with CKME - it will activate future prices and release future planned cost estimates, but it does not stop and show you what is about to be activated or released and the financial impact. We wrote a custom transaction that had CKME report what it is going to do, so we have a chance to review the infomation.

Please help ..

What is your desired startup page? Is it something like home.html, or index.jsp? Are you opening the application with a URL like:

If so, you probably need to add the welcome file definitions in your web.xml file. You can find the syntax in the OC4J docs.

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.

Relevant for Costing - Price Update

Hi,
SAP standard is offering Price Update for Inventory Costing through 'Relevant for Costing' against which price factors (50%, 75%, 25% etc.) is maintained.
1. We would like to use this to devalue the inventory values on a particular basis. What transaction do I need to execute to devalue.
2. I am using one material in BOM for SFG/FG, wherein I am entering the "Relevant for Costing' key. (50%). However, I am not able to see the result. The consumption is getting posted @ 100% rate and the cost of RM in FG is also 100%. It should have been 50% as per my understanding.
Am I missing any link. Please guide me to resolve this issue.

Hi Swapvik,
Pls check in your Costing Variant--> Valuation Variant --> Price Factors..
Here, Costing Relevancy is "X" for which you need to maintain your Price Factors. Pls check your entry and let me know..

Help Costing Run !!

hello friends,
I am having a BOM with 210 items.
I want to run cost estimate for the BOM.I want to know
how and where should i manage the price of BOM items
(in which transaction i should maintain price of BOM items).
ALso let me prerequsites and procedure for running the
cost estimates .
Kindly help me
Regards
SAM

BOM item Price can be maintedned in Material Master Accounting / Costing View or Purchase Inforecord. Which price to be
considered is depends on Costing variant.
Product Costing steps...
Step 1:
Header Data Create a costing run by specifying a name. Also enter description of the same along with date for which the costing run is taken
Finally save this data.
Step 2:
General Data Select Costing Variant, Costing Version from the available options. Enter Controlling Area and Company Code.
Step 3:
Processing - Selection of Material
Click on the parameter icon, which will open a new window change parameter window. In this window enter single material code/ range of material/ multiple material code and plant code.
Tick the field Always Recost Material and remove tick from background processing. After this save the data and go to the previous screen.
Click the execute button. The status field will show a green signal if all the materials were selected correctly, else will show red signal specifying error.
Processing Structured Explosion
This step will read the Bill of Material for the selected product/products. Go to change parameter window and remove tick from background processing. Save the data and go to the previous screen.
Execute this step and the status field will show green signal for successful execution.
Processing Costing
This step will create standard cost estimate for all the materials selected in Selection step and BOM exploded in structured explosion step.
Go to change parameter window and remove tick from background processing. Save the data and go to the previous screen.
Execute this step and the status field will show green signal for successful execution. The materials field will show total no. of materials that were costed.
Processing Analysis
After costing step is over, a report is generated that enables to process and analyze the costing results. For example, compare the costing run with other costing runs or compare the costing results with a price from the material master.
After this remove tick from background processing field in the change parameter window and return to the previous screen for executing this step.
Processing Marking
This step will mark the standard cost estimate for the costed products in the previous step. If the authorization field is locked, then it is to be opened by selecting the relevant company code.
This step would enable the results of standard cost estimate to be updated as future price in the material master.
Go to change parameter screen to make relevant changes and then execute this step after returning to the main screen.
Processing Release
This is the last step in costing run transaction. This step will update the results of standard cost estimates in the material master as the current standard price.
It is to be noted that after releasing a cost estimate for a material in a company code, no marking or release can be carried out again for the current period. Before releasing a cost estimate, is should be made sure that the future standard prices are correct.
Go to change parameter screen to make relevant changes and then execute this step after returning to the main screen. To verify the updated prices, check the material prices in material master.
At every step if there is any error or warning, the log field will display it in detail.
if useful assign points.............

Material Price updation through Material Ledger

Hi,
I implemented the ML and after executing the ML Costing run & on 1st movement of material( Dynamic price release) the The Per Unit price* which is calculated in ML costing run is not updating in the current std price area in Costing View 2 Tab.
I think the previous periods( for which I did ML Costing Run) Per unit price has to update in the Current planned price in Costing View 2. Instead of this , the std planned price of previous period only updating in the "future Planned price".
Please explain how to get the Previous period Moving price in Current Planned price in Costing View 2.
T & R,
C.Balaji

Hi,
I did CK11N & CK24 in Feb for example, and the price updated in current std cost estimate.
after month end closing I did CKMLCP, I heard that after completing all the sequence of oparations, The actual cost incurred for the material will update in Perunit price and Price controle will become from S to V, and we can get the Moving avarage price of Feb will become the Std price for the March month.
This is not happening , How we can get this Moving Avarage price of Feb month as a Std current price in March month.
Pls inform wether it is possible or not, if possible what is the method to get.
T & R,

New costing run within same period for relased cost estimate

Hi All
Once we have run the costing run. The price is marked and released. Then If we have to again runthe costing run, system says price for the priod has been released and doesnt allow to proceed.
How to overcome this? Cant we run costing run as and when required and multiple times release it in the same period?
Please help me
Regards
Rakesh

Hi Rakesh,
I would like to know what is your requirement of running the Standard Cost Estimate for second or third time in the same period...?
If you feel that, Standard Cost which was marked and released needs to be updated as per the changes in BOM, Routing etc, you can still do it...
First, go to transaction code CKR1 (Re-organization of Cost Estimates), select the parameters like company code, plant, material (for which you want to reverse the Cost Estimate), select the radio button for "Current Standard Cost Estimate" and execute.
Then, Current Standard Cost Estimate will get reversed. You check for confirmation in the respective material master -- Costing 2 View whether the Current Planned Price has become blank or not.
Then you do CK11N and CK24 again for marking and releasing....
Try this and pls revert back for further explanation...

Forex coversion rate in costing run.

Hi all,
During costing run, I use price from info records in valuation variant.
In my case material is maintained in Canadian dollards CAD and infor record is in USD.
So during costing run, system takes the conversion rate in OB08 and does the conversion.
Is there any option where system would take only one single conversion rate for entire year?
Say 1USD = 1.15 CAD for entire year (changes in OB08 should not effect my costing run)
Thanks.
DSK

Hello,
While creating PO itself, the PO Header data will get the Currency by default from Purchase Info record /Vendor Master Currency and it will allow us to change Currency, Exchange rate and also allow us to tick u201CExchange Rate Fixedu201D check box as per your requirement. Whenever there is a difference in Co Code Currency and Vendor Master Currencies, system will check u201CCurrent Exchange Rateu201D from Exchange rate table maintained in t-code-OB08. Any differences will be posted to Exchange Rate differences Account. If we ticked the u201CExchange Rate Fixedu201D check box, while posting the MIGO, the system will take the Exchange rate available in PO as fixed. If this check box is not ticked, again the system will check and take the u201CCurrent Exchange rateu201D from Exchange rate table.

Exchange rate type in costing run.

Hi all,
In costing run, we use price from customer info record.
Info record is in USD and material is in CAD (Canadian dollar).
During costing run, all the materials are taking exchange rate 'P'. This is correct (as 'P' is maintained in controlling area version)
But for one material alone exchange rate 'M' is being picked up.
Could you please share if you have any idea as to where to check and where the problem could have been.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
DSK

HI,
Whats the CO-area currency type? I guess for the case you've mentioned there is no currency conversion possible with ex rate type "P", so ex. rate type "M" is taken as a 2nd best option.
To check if converison is possible use SE37, function module "convert_to_local_currency", use the "test" button (F8) and key in the data required for currency conversion (type of rate "P").
Best regards, Christian

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
