Problem in Standard Costing Run

Hi Experts,
   As per our client requirement we marked price control "S" for all materials. While running the Std costing, system is showing the Cost components as below
Direct Material 13.29$
Material Overheads   1.92$
Direct Labor   68.19$
Labor Overheads 79.78$
The Material overhead percentage rate is 16.9%.
Now the problem is with the Material cost 13.29$. In this cost the Material overhead cost also included. So please suggest what i need to change in the config part to get this component (Direct Material) without material overhead.
As per our requirement the values should be shown as below
Direct Material 11.37$
Material Overheads   1.92$
Direct Labor   68.19$
Labor Overheads 79.78$
Thanks&Regards,
Raja lucky.

Hi Rau Moder,
We have created the cost component Material overhead seperately and assigned respective cost element to this component.
For the component Direct Material we assigned only consumption accounts not material overhead cost element.
Thanks&Regards,
Raja lucky.

Freight Calculation in Standard cost Run

Hi,
The requirement is while doing the standard cost calculation through CK11N / CK40N system should show seperately how much is freight plan cost &; how much is duty plan cost.e.g.
100 is material price as per condition PB00 Cost element 355100
10 is freight cost (ZFR1 10%) Cost element 363170
5 is duty cost (Zduty lets say 0.5%) Cost element 363171
So taotal cost will be 115
I wanted to get this in cost component wise. Client does not want manual intervention so do not want to go for additive cost method
I had tried through Purchasing info record. I have maintained the valuation variant accordingly. Assigned correct sub strategy to it & also maintained delivery cost button in the same screen to assign conditions to origin group.
Also I had maintained purchasing info record through me11 ; mainteined conditions there.
These above mentioned cost elements are mapped in cost component structure in T code OKTZ. Seperately for material ,freight &; duty
Now when I make a PO, system is showing correct calculation as per the conditions.When I do the GR the Freight &; duty is getting posted &; these GLs are having above mentioned primary cost elements . .So the primary cost element is also getting posted correctly.
Now the problem is
While doing the cost run system shows me Seperate cost for material as 100 , seperate for freight 10 & seperate for duty 5, but to the same cost element i.e. 355100. So all the cost is shown as material cost ; nothing is displayed as freight or duty
If I see the cost element report the corresponding value is flown to the corresponding cost element. But it is not reflecting in proper cost component in cost run
.Please guide me why this is happening. How can I resolve this
Regards,
Abhijit

Hi Ajay,
I was waiting for your reply.
As mentioned by you, I have mapped my cost component structure like Raw material, Freigh, Duty & assigned the corresponding cost elements to it.. But still in itemisation view it shows three values
consumption cost element 355100 - 100
consumption cost element 355100 - 10 (which should go to freight component where I have assigned the Freight cost element)
consumption cost element 355100 -5 (which should go to Duty component where I have assigned the Duty cost element)
FI entries are getting posted correctly. Values are flown to coresponding cost elements.
For the time being We will keep duty part side. We are discussing with client on this.
But, what could be the reason of this problem. How I can achieve the below mentioned result.
Cost component view
Raw material -100
Freight - 10
Duty - 5

Problem in Standard Costing

Dear Friends,
When i am running standard cost estimate, indirect overheads are calculated from KP26.
Suppose i have maintained the Machine Cost Rate at Rs. 60 for 1 Hour. When i run the standard cost estimate for that material, it is calculated by Rs. 30 per hour. For each and every cost, it is calculating half of the price maintained.
Please help me in this regards.
Regards,
Jimmy

Hi Mangalraj,
Thank you very much for your reply. I found all the things fine.
I found one new point by my due analysis. The points is,
I have maintained activity rates in advance till June 2009. its is as follow.
Jan - 60 Per Hour
Feb - 60 Per Hour
Mar - 60 Per Hour
Apr - 60 Per Hour
May - 60 Per Hour
Jun - 60 Per Hour
Now, the system calculates the indirect OH at the rate of Rs. 30 per hour ( i.e Rs. 360 for 6 months. Now the system calculates the OH rate at Rs. 30 per hour, which is derived by Rs. 360/12 months)
Why the system is behaving like this? it takes the average of 12 months in all cases. I tried by changing the distribution key also but it does not work.
What would be the reason behind it?
I hope to get back you soon friend.
Regards,
Jimmy

Report on Costing Run

We have a requirement for a report. We run the standard costing run every period for all finished and semi-finished materials. Is there a standard report available from the system for reporting the standard cost (cost component items) for the materials costed ?

Hi Nikitha ,
There is one report CK80_99 .. which is a standard SAP report which gives you Cost Estimate by Cost Components ..
But the drawback is that you cannot have multiple materials in selection parameters and if you have lot of materials .. then its very time consuming to analyze .
What i did for a client is that i created a new ABAP report similar to CK80_99 which has multiple materails as selections . I took the selection date as cost estimate creation date and derived values from KEPH and KEKO tables and its working for my client perfectly..
Only drawback , is that the selection date is to be creation date.. not the validity date .. as validity date will pick up mutiple lines from KEPH/KEKO tables if multiple lines exists..
Discuss the same with you client and ABAP and revert back for any further questions..

Sarada

Proceeding without standard costing for May08 and June08

Hi,
We have implemented Material Ledger here.
The backlogs are on.
We are still on May08 backlogs.
We had to proceed without standard costing for May and now also for June which we would be able to finish by July 20th.
After that we will be doing the standard costing run for July 2008 by 22nd July.
I dont think we neeed to calculate and settle variances for May and June 2008.
Please guide.
Could you please guide me on what precautions that need to be taken.
Also, when I do the actual costing (ML) run for July in August 2008, I think only the variances for July will be calculated and settled.
Any material Ledger experts, please advise and guide.
regards,
Nidhi

Hi Elaine,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
You are absolutely right.
The system will not allow me to close July in ML, unless I have closed May and June.
Also, the second option is completely ruled out. Every material has to be included in the ML run.
For carrying out ML closing activities for previous posting periods, the note no. 361236 would help. Please advise.
Also, Elaine, I am noticing that despite the fact that we did not do the standard costing run for May 2008, the system is using the standard cost estimate of April 2008 to calculate all variances.
I checked the costs analysis of all process orders and the system is correctly calculating the variances for all process orders.
So please suggest if the steps I am mentioning below are correct:
May 2008:
I will first calculate production variance using T code KKS1
Then settle the production variance using: CO88
Then I will carry out ML run for May using: CKMLCP
May closes in Material Ledger
June 2008:
I will first calculate production variance using T code KKS1
Then settle the production varinace using: CO88
Then I will carry out ML run for June using: CKMLCP
June closes in Material Ledger
Then I will do the standard costing run for July 2008.
(Also please note that we closed May and opened June in MM using MMPV, because one region is still in May backlogs while the other has started June backlogs. So the current period in MM is June and previous period is May 2008. This I guess should not have any impact on the ML run for May 2008)
Please guide me with possible reconstruction of steps.
Thanks a lot & regards,
Nidhi

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

Problem with rounding in standard cost estimate.

Hi All,
Happy 4th of July!
I have a problem with the standard cost estimate where the system try to calculate overhead costs (from costing sheet) with a fix percentage (9.7%) to the value coming from material consumption costs element.
Let say I have $1.71 material consumption and the overhead rate of 9.7%
The real calculation should be (1.71*0.097) = $0.16587
But at CK11N screen, it shows only $0.16 (two decimal rounding)
Is there a way that I can bump the rounding to at least 3 decimal point to make it more accurate?
Very appreciate any input you guys can share. Thank you.
Charitha

Hi Chari ,
My experience says that you can use only 2 decimals ..
Moreover , please have a look into SAP Note : 639410 - CK11N, CK13N: Message CK869 due to rounding
differences.
There a some source code corrections also on rounding differences- check if it helps you also...

Standard and actual costing run

I am doing actual coting run ckmlcp every month end on last of the month. stadard costing run I am doing on start of the month on 1st day of the month before actual transactions taking place.
Here the problem is I already did the stadard costing and actual costing runfor april, now i want to do stadard costing today midnight 1AM for june and I want to do actual costing tomarrow evening 6PM for may.
April stadard price is Rs150 and current stadard price is Rs 160 beacause of 1st june costing run. If I will do the costing for May month now means (1st)tomarrow evening which stadard price it will pick in ckmlcp and varience calculated.

as cost estimate is run for the material in plant u can not get cogs at depot level.

In running standard Cost Estimate, System is selecting wrong selection ID

We have two Process in Production . one we use Process flow(PI), in other we use Production flow(PP).
Now, while running standard cost estimate for Process industry(PI) as it uses recipe instead of Routing...But system is searching/selecting for routing than recipe.
Our issue is that when i run Cost run for Process orders , it should select Recipe not routing. And when i do cost run for Production order...it should select Routing!!!
Kindly help...
Shivraja

Verify the Routing determination sequence in costing varinat - Quantity Structure determination configuration.
Change the Priority for the selection of task lists as below
ID                  SP               Task           Plan Usage        Description Status             Description of Status.
01     1     R     1     Production     4     Released (general)
01     2     R     1     Production     2     Released for order
01     3     N     1     Production     4     Released (general)
01     4     N     1     Production     2     Released for order
01     5     2     1     Production     4     Released (general)
01     6     2     1     Production     2     Released for order
This should work as expected.

Raouting, Rate Routing and Cost run Problem

We have changed the our process from routing to rate routing.
But while doing the cost run - CK40N, the sytem is considering the routing in stead of rate routing.
Please advice.
Regards
Pranav

Dear Pranav,
1.Check what selection ID has been assigned in the quantity structure control tab(for the costing variant that is used for costing in
CK40N) for routing selection,If it's 01 means,then check with selection ID 02 where the first priority is assigned for routing type R.
(In standard SAP selection ID 01 by default has first priority to routing - N and then further prirority to rate routing - type - R).So
assuming selection ID 01 is assigned and a product has both routing(task list type - N) and rate routing(task list type - R),now at
the time of costing the system picks up the routing by default as the first priority is set for routing.
2.Also check whether the task list type and the corresponding group and group counter has been changed in the production
version for inhouse manufactured product either in MM02-->MRP4 view or else in C223.
Check and revert back with your further queries.

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.

Steps for running the Standard Cost Estimate

I have a requirement.
I have created cost sheet, cost component structure, costing variant etc. for running the standard cost estimate for the material.
I want a help document for knowing the PP side settings and list of order-wise transactions for calculating the standard cost of the material.

Hi Maddy
Please check the long tesxt for the error message
60000001
The system found errors in the cost estimate of material component 60000002 from plant 60000003.
60000004
The results of raw material cost estimates that have errors are not used in the product just costed. Only cost estimates that do not have errors or that were released are used in 50000001.
All assemblies that contain material 60000005 from plant 60000006 in their structure are indicated as incorrect.
The message sets the costing status of the 50000002 to 'costed with errors'.

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

Recursive Loop Error while doing standard cost estimate

SAP Gurus,
We are trying to do standard cost estimate on a material and we are getting error because it is going in recursive loop even though we have used "recursive allowed" indicator for item components in the BOM. The error message numbers are CK 730 and CK 740. We are using 4.6c. I have tried the same scenario in ECC 6.0 and still I get the same problem.
Below is my BOM structure:
Material 10890345 (has low-level code 012)
        ---> 10867220 (has low-level code 013) and has recursive allowed indicator
10867220
        ---> 10846733 (has low-level code 014) and has recursive allowed indicator
10846733
        ---> 10890345 (has low-level code 012) and has recursive allowed indicator
According to me, the BOM for material 10846733 is causing the problem.
For some weird reason while doing the costing run for material 10890345, it s not stopping and going in a loop.10890345 and 10846733 should ideally have the same low-level code as they are recursive.
Please help to provide some solutions at the earliest on how to avoid recursive loop during costing.
Regards,
Swapnil

Dear,
I have 2 things to shear with you.
The method we followed to solve the iteration is as below
1.Config change -
Valuation variant in the costing variant, we changed the sequence as below
material valuation
4 planned price 1
2 std price
3 Mov ave price
2. Material master change
made all the semi finished goods and finished goods
procurement type = E,
costing with qty structure,
Enter the planned price1
By doing this what happens is
when system first start the iteration, takes the planned price 1 and start iterating and next time in the second iteration it takes the calculated price from qty structure till it finds the difference between the value calculated is less than .001. Then it gives the result
Why lot size is important is, in our case in some levels the usage is very less compared to the first material header qty and system used to stop in between and not even reaching the last level as during the cycle it was reaching less .001 difference. may be in your case it may not be the case...just check
Please come back after trying this. this was the only last option i had to solve the issue in my client.
Another alternative is to have a different material for costing purpose to stop the iteration which i will not recommend as we need to do some calculation for each stage and input the cost of dummy material in each stage.
My client is happy with the result as the difference between manual calculation and system calculation is less then .1%...this is because SAP will not consider the difference beyond .001, but in excel you get as many as decimals you want.
