Problems with over/under absorption on production cost centers - GBB AUI

Hi,
I have a problem with over/under absorption on production cost centers after month end closing.
We are using material ledger CKMLCP and actual activity rates from direct cost centers are settled directly to products using GBB AUI account determination.
Unfortunately from time to time there appears a significant balance on production cost centers after running CKMLCP. What might be the reason? I have analysed line items on cost centers but cannot find any answers.
We are using assignment of cost elements to particular activity types (function splitting), and I have checked that all cost elements are assigned to proper activity types.
Best regards,
Karol

Hi,
DP90 is used for Resource related billing, is broad term basically when you performing service that time you have to raise billing on the basis of resources which you had spend for perticular service
DP90 is run on the basis of DYNAMIC ITEM PROCESSOR,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_di471/helpdata/en/59/54fc37004d0a1ee10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm
I will tell you one process from the prspective of CS module
Create notification >> Create service order >> Confirm service order >> Resource releted billing (genrates sales document) >> Invoice to customer with refrance to sales document.
Now here DP90 is used to determine material,IN SALES DOCUMENT because CS module don't have billing feature as like SD Billing.
In CS module activities/Operation,but in SD module we speciefy material codes
So DIP determines XYZ activity/operation is ABC material in SD

Refer to OSS 183250 and note 186485.
If you dont specify in the settlement profile for the production order that the variances are not transferred from the production order into CO-PA, you will settle the variances to <b>CO-PA twice</b>: once from the production order (broken down into variance categories), and once from the sales order item. The settlement rule still references the material and not the sales order item.
Special Features of Product Cost by Sales Order with Valuated Sales Order Stock

You may want to check the period of the variance settlement from mfg order to sales order and ensure the settlement of sales order is also done the same period, if the type is PER.

Reporting Direct Production Cost Center Over/Under Absorption

Hi,
I am trying to find a way to report Manufacturing Cost Center Over/Under Absorption in a similar way COGS are reported in CO-PA. I mean - I would like to breakdown Direct Manufacturing Cost Center Over/Under Absorption into cost elements (just like COGS are broken down in COPA when invoice is posted).
I wonder if this is possible in SAP without Material Ledger implemented. If yes - can it be achieved by using a standard functionality or does it require an additional development?
Thank you,
K

Thanky you for your reply Ranjan,
My intention was to show Cost center over/underabsorption broken down by cost componets (activity Labour, Machine, Overhead). Currently it is shown as a balance on cost center. I would like to be able to recognize which part of Direct manufacturing CC balance refers to Labour, which to Machine and which to Overhead. Is it possible to achieve in sandard report or additional settings/development is required.

Karol

Over Absorption in Production Cost Center.

Dears,
We are getting the over absorption in cost center after doing of actual price calculation settlement. we have done the following transactions at month end. eventhough we are getting over absorption (i.e., credits are more than debits) Credits are activity costs are transferred from production cost center to production/process orders or product collectors.
KO8G settlement of internal orders to cost centers.
KSV5 execution of distribution cycle.
KSII execution of actual price calculation.
CON2 revaluation at actual prices.
CO88 Settlement of Production/Process Orders.
Even after doing of the above trnasactions we are getting over absorption.
kindly advise me in order to resolve this issue.

Hi Divraj,
The same issue i am replicating in the development server i created one assessment cycle i gave one service cost center as sender and one cost element group, the group contains 10 primary cost elements(GL's), i done postings with 10 gl's respect to this service cost center, in my assessment cycle i gave one assessment cost element in segment header the sender rule is posted amounts, the receiver tracing factor contains variable portions, actual activity and no scaling, in receiver i gave cost center group contains 4 production cost centers, sender values is share in 100%, version is zero the receiver tracing factor tab contains variable portions as actual activity and one activity i maintained, the receiver weighting factor contains 4 production cost centers and factor percentage is 100%.
Now i execute the assessment cycle in KSU5 i am getting senders in cycle but receivers i am getting zero, when i took the actual activity, variable portions and no scaling i have to maintain activity price in KP26 and this cost center i have to maintain in process order that is fine please explain me how the cost will distributed to production cost center please explain the procedure in detailed.
Hopefully i will get clarity on the concept................

What is Over Under Absorption means?

Hi guyz,
When I'm running Cost Center Actual/Plan/Variance Reporting, there is a field that is called Over/Under Absorption.
What does it mean by Over/Under Absorption?
Thanks guyz

Hi Meila,
It can be a surplus or deficit in actual costs compared to planned costs on the receiver side, but does not have to be.
Imagine your sending cost center is a grinding mill in a cement plant. It is planned to produce 100.000 t cement in the month, for what the mill would run 1000 h. The rate is 100u20AC /h. Therfore the planned absorption would be 100.000u20AC. In the end of the month it turns out that actually the Mill ran 1200 h and 120.000 t Cement were produced. Each of the daily cement production orders would show no unplanned costs, but the mill cost center would have an overabsorption of 20.000u20AC.
best regards, Udo

Problems with ViaVoice under Leopard, especially key mapping problems

ViaVoice's behavior has changed considerably under Leopard. First I will discuss the key mapping problem, since I'm eagerly looking for an answer to this problem. At the end of this post, I will voice some of the other problems I've experienced for those who may be interested. The key mapping problem may be specific to the fact that I use a foreign keyboard with a US version of ViaVoice.
INTRO:
I have used ViaVoice on my Mac for years, more or less without problems (ViaVoice's bugginess is notorious).
Those who know ViaVoice will know that one has two general options for dictation. One can dictate into ViaVoice's so-called SpeakPad, which allows special formatting, editing and dictation error correction within the dictated text, or one can dictate into "external" software such as Microsoft Word, in which case ViaVoice just sends a string of characters to that software. SpeakPad appears to make strong use of the operating system's built-in functionality for character formatting, document formatting, etc.
*MY PROBLEM*
I have a German keyboard on my PowerBook, yet dictate in US English. When I dictated into SpeakPad under Tiger, all characters appeared correctly. However, when I dictated into Microsoft Word using Tiger, I had to switch the keyboard mapping from German to US to get all characters (that means including the characters that are located at different positions on a German keyboard than they are on a US keyboard such as y, z, apostrophes and parentheses) to appear correctly.
Under Leopard, things have changed. Now it doesn't matter whether I dictate into SpeakPad or Word; the results are the same and many characters do not appear correctly.
If set to a German keyboard, y and z appear as expected. To name a few irregularities:
"(" appears as ")"
")" appears as "="
apostrophes appear as "#" and
";" appears as ","
If set to a US keyboard, y and z are interchanged. "(" and ")" appear as expected. Apostrophes appear as "\" and ";" appears as ","
By comparison, if typed (as opposed to dictated, as in the examples above) "correctly" (i.e. based on the letters printed on the keyboard) on a German keyboard set to imitate a US keyboard:
y and z are interchanged
apostrophes appear as "|"
"(" appears as "*"
")" appears as "(" and
";" appears as the symbol for "less than"
Since I don't have a US keyboard, I can't say how it would behave if set to imitate a German keyboard, i.e. if there's a correlation to the results I get when I dictate.
Since I was previously able to dictate correctly into SpeakPad by setting the keyboard to "German" and into Word by setting the keyboard to "US," I presume that this is a problem in Leopard, not ViaVoice.
*OTHER PROBLEMS WITH VIAVOICE UNDER LEOPARD*
In addition to the aforementioned key mapping problems (that may be specific to those of us with foreign keyboards), ViaVoice appears to have lost considerable functionality in Leopard. I cannot access SpeakPad's Preferences and the correction window. Moreover, the traffic-light like window buttons have disappeared from the VoiceCenter (although they work if you click where they should be). SetupAssistent appears to function.
I've written to Nuance about these problems, but have little hope that they will invest the time in producing a patch since they haven't released any updates since 2003.

Thrums1,
I've never had to "register" ViaVoice after updating the system. I thus suspect you haven't fully followed my above, three-step advice (particularly step 3).
1) Reinstall ViaVoice from CD.
2) Update to the latest version (using the patch downloadable from Nuance's website).
3) Replace the “temp” and “users” folders (in the "ViaVoice" folder at the upper level of your home directory) by a previous copy thereof. When I say previous copy, I mean a copy from when ViaVoice was still working properly, e.g. a copy from when it was running under Tiger.
As I said, I've gotten ViaVoice to survive several system updates by following the above steps. To my knowledge, the last step is critical since it saves you from having to reconfigure ViaVoice under the new operating system (in this case Leopard). I suspect that ViaVoice is crashing on your system because it's trying to start some module of the SetUpAssistant that is incompatible with Leopard (as many are). If you instead use old copies of the "temp" and "users" folders (from the previous system), then ViaVoice doesn't have to go through the initial "registration" process; ViaVoice doesn't need the SetUpAssistant; and all is (more or less) fine.
Good luck!
BTW, to my knowledge, Dictate only runs on Intel Macs. It thus won't run on a G4 iBook, just as it won't run on my PowerBook G4.

Problem with clob_write under client 9.2.0.6: UnsatisfiedLinkError

Hi all,
I'm running Oracle client 9.2.0.4 on Windows XP and Java 1.4.1_3.
Writing or reading clob's works pretty well.
As i tried to update to Oracle client 9.2.0.6, i got the error
Communication failed: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: clob_write when i tried to write a clob. The same error appears when i tried to read a clob.
Is there a specific problem with clobs under this client?
All other JDBC operations work as good as before.
Thanks.

Here is another hint.
In your classpath, use the jdbc driver that's under your oracle installation to which you are trying to connect to (ie, <ORACLE_HOME>\ora92\jdbc\lib\ojdbc14.jar).
I had the same problem in 9.2.0.6 and its gone when I replaced the ojdbc14.jar. I copied the ..\ora92\jdbc\lib\ojdbc14.jar to my java client program's classpath, and ran the java client without getting the UnsatisfiedLinkError.
It looks like the ocijdbc9.dll under ora92\bin has to match correctly with the jdbc drivers you would be using. I got this idea from this link:

Hope this helps.

Automation for actual input of utility rate in Production Cost centers

Dear All,
Currently we have a process where we are downloading actual rates through KSII for each location and rates calculated are inputed through KBK6 for all individual production cost centers by activities ,so my requirement is whether there is any procedure where downloading and uploading can be eliminated and actual rates calculated by system directly loads on to the production cost centers.
Kindly provide any suggestions
Thanks and Regards
vijay

Hi,
If u run KSII, system will give a message "Do you want to post the results of price calculation?" if u click on YES , it will automatically update in your KBK6. Pl. Check once.

HT1933 Has anyone else had a problem with the app " Storage War$" it costs £1.99 and doesn't work???

Hi I have been having a problem with an app I have purchased, it cost £1.99 and does not match the description
This was a waste of time and I am outraged that Apple have not checked the game after it's reviews. However I want to get my money back as I could buy a different app with the small sum of money. This app did not clearly state that it wasn't a game to play just to watch. A review quote " I want my money back worst app ever! Every button does the same thing home, shop, my items and the actions all take you to the auction. Plus it's the same 5 pictures over and over some worth 900 some 250 just buy 250 absolute joke of a game save your money people"there are 26 others like this how many is enough for you to take action. the only reason for this app purchase was because it was an impulse buy what if there is another 27 impulse buys and it then continues
How can I try and get that app off the AppStore and get my money back as I have not been given a receipt yet ?

What a terrible coincidence, nick70! I can assure that most updates go smoothly. I'm sorry to hear that yours didn't. If you're unable to power your device back on, we may need to get a replacement device out to you. Please follow/DM me ( Chauncey_VZW ) with your contact information, and I'd be happy to resolve this for you! I look forward to hearing back from you.

Problem with prod. ver. explosion to production order

Hi
I have problem with production versions. I have FERT with 3 production versions. Additionaly we have Z-program (on Z-table) which control parameter sold to party (from sale order) with production version. So after MRP I see in planned order right production version for example 3 - field PLAF-VERID; in master data in planned order I see right alternative BOM and routing; but when I make a conversion to production order I see that system always explode 1st version; additionaly in planned order in components (button) I see 1st pr.ver (1st alternative BOM) and in Bill of Material (it seems like to manually expolding BOM) I see right version??? But it couldn't be like this that to have right data I need to go to transaction MD12, explode BOM manully, save and after that make a prod. ord.
I would like to system explode BOM according to production version (field VERID) already in planned order; so after that it should be that when I will converted it to production order I should have right BOM and right routing from production version signed in planned order.
I know it sounds complicated Add. in configuration all parameters are set right to explode BOM etc. etc. system version: 4.7
Thanks and regards. Joanna
Additional info: I cancel this question cause problem is in Z-program; becuase when according to Z-table system change input in field VERID for system it is only "digital" not parameter for which system should explode right BOM; sorry for disturbing, we need to change Z-programm; I do not know how but maybe any function module can help - we will think.

Downloaded AVG protection and it cleaned my computer, now whenever i try to start photoshop it says that there is a problem with the licensing of the product and gives me an error code 213:11

Exactly as it says above. The computer was given to me as a gift, and the person who gave it to me had already bought photoshop and put it on for me. Photoshop was working perfectly before AVG did the computer scan, and now every time i try to use it a window comes up instead that says "A problem has occurred with the licensing of this product. Restart your computer and re-launch the product. If this problem still occurs after restarting, contact Customer Support for further assistance, and mention the error code shown at the bottom of this screen. Error: 213:11"

Apparently it "cleaned" away needed files.
Most likely you will have to reinstall Photoshop to get all the files back.

Problems with USB under 10.6.7

I have a Macbook Pro 1,1. After the upgrade to OS X 10.6.7, I started seeing frequent, unpredictable disconnects, with the resulting admonition to alway eject my removable drives. At first I thought these were due to problems with cables or my hub, but it happened equally often with flash drives plugged directly into the ports. I downgraded to 10.6.6 several weeks ago and have not had a single problem with disconnects.
I prefer to have my system upgraded to the most recent version. Is there any solution to this, or is a fix coming up?

It is interesting (though I haven't read all of it yet, I will continue reading), but it doesn't completely answer my question...which in itself is less complete than I intended.
Though the drive disconnects under 10.6.7 are a problem, they aren't the only symptom. I also have problems with my Alphasmart Neo, a simple, self-contained word processor. It connects via USB to allow plain-text documents to transfer to and from a computer, and under 10.6.7 I simply cannot reliably transfer data to it. Its management software doesn't reliably connect, resulting in corrupted data or a complete inability to send or receive information. The device works perfectly under 10.6.6.

Problems with dbx under linux

Hi everybody,
I'm using Oracle Solaris Studio 12.2 under Linux, and i'm trying to debug a Fortran application with dbx.
When I use it to step through the code, there always pops up a messagebox that says
dbx: internal error: cannot convert 'AGGREGATE' to 'ARRAY' ...
dbx: internal error: cannot convert 'AGGREGATE' to 'ARRAY' ...
dbx: internal error: cannot convert 'AGGREGATE' to 'ARRAY' ...
dbx: internal error: cannot convert 'AGGREGATE' to 'ARRAY' ...
too many errors
after a random number of steps (perhaps after about 10 steps). Then, the execution stops, and I'm forced to restart the process, with a breakpoint somewhere further down the code.
Does anybody know what I could do to prevent that from happening?
Thanks in advance,
Christoph

Hi Isaac,
thanks for your reply. I'm using the debugging from the studio.
Unfortunately, the code I'm working on is a CFD program of some 100.000 lines, and I think I'd have to post the whole thing. I've been trying to reproduce the problem with a model program, but to no avail: dbx/SunStudio works like a charm with every program I write myself.
It is definitely a problem with evaluating local variables: If I watch a debugging tab different from "variables", it doesn't crash; neither does it while stepping through the main program. It only crashes somewhere deep in some modules, where pointers on big allocated arrays are passed around in the seventh or so stack level. Anyway, it seems to be more a problem with the code than with a particular debugger: I've tried gdb, and it shows similar problems.
Regards,
Christoph

Problems with Verity under ColdFusion MX 6.1

Hi,
I am having problems with Verity collection under ColdFusion
MX 6.1. I do a query and then try to index the results of that
query using the CFINDEX tag:
<cfquery name="qryContent"
datasource="#application.datasource#">
SELECT *
FROM table
</cfquery>
<cfoutput>#qryContent.RecordCount# pages being
indexed...<br></cfoutput> ----- here I get 1468 records
<cfindex
collection="Main_Content"
action="refresh"
type="custom"
query="qryContent"
body="cntContent"
key="pg"
urlpath="/info.cfm?"
custom1="content" >
<cfsearch
name = "search_results"
collection = "CoM_Main_Content">
<cfdump var="#search_results#">
<cfabort>
When I do the <CFSEARCH and then <CFDUMP the number of
records in the collection is 1409 - hence 59 records less than the
query returns...I have deleted the collection numeruos times and
re-created it, I have also increased the JVM settings on the
ColdFusion server and no difference at all...
I am out of ideas on how to solve this problem so I am hoping
somebody can recommend the solution to this...
Any ideas would be much appreciated.....
Thanks,
Vlad

Odds are it's nothing to do with the Coldfusion upgrade, it
has to do with MSIE 7. We were in the middle of a Site Rewrite
project when Windows XP started automatically updating users to
MSIE 7. They "fixed" so many things in 7, we had to re-QA the whole
site and fix a bunch of CSS issues so that the site would work and
display correctly in 7.
You might also verify that your Windows 2003 server has all
the current service packs and hotfixes. IIRC, there was at least
one that threw our servers for a loop until we applied another
hotfix.
