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

  • SAP allows release of Standard Cost for Material with Moving Average Price

    Hi
    We set our Raw Material to use Moving Average Price (V) and price determination 2 (single level). And we activated material ledger.
    During mass calculation of standard cost (CK40N), If user accidentally forgot to restrict the Raw Material for being included in calculation, the system calculate standard cost anyway, even though I set it as Moving Average Price. And user is able to release it too without any problem.
    Why the system does not restrict it? By giving error maybe. Although as for now I can not find the wrong effect from releasing standard cost for MAP material, by your experience, is there any side effect that I should be aware of?
    Thanks

    CK40n is mass release of all materials. The release is not dependent on price indicator of the material in the master. It will calculate standard cost of all the materials.
    Releasing standard cost estimate of raw materials does not have any side effect as long your calculation is based on moving average price.

  • Goods movement - without Standard cost

    Hello All
    In our existing client system, price control for new material X is maintained as 'S'. We have not maintained the standard price in it yet.
    Ideally if price control is 'S' and you dont maintain a Standard cost of the material. SAP does not allows any goods movement on this material.
    But without standard cost if I am able to raise a Purchase order (which is fine) and also able to do GR (using MIGO).
    The result being GR is done and FI document is posted with PO price + MAP is updated with PO price.
    Is it std SAP functionality or is there is a setting which I have missed.  Please let me know.
    Note: Price control indicator for material type is 'S'.

    Dear Rajeshwari,
    1.You can use the plant specific material status to block the material for production,purchase and inventory management,by
    creating a new key in OMS4 and set the value as B in all these parameters and assign this value in the material master in MRP1
    view of the particular material and set the valied from date.
    2.In case if you want to remove this valu or say you have carried out a standard cost estimate,you can remove the assignment in
    MM02.
    3.For blocking the production order creation for the materials that does not contain a standard cost use this BADI -
    WORKORDER_UPDATE(method during Release).
    Check this link,
    Re: error msg if  no standard cost present  for  Production order target cost

  • Order settelement without standard cost estimate

    Hello,
    My Scenario MTS,
    Client doest not want to take Cost roll up (Standard cost estimate run) the price control code 'S' for all the Finish goods, Semifinish
    and raw materials.
    In this how to handle order settelment , variance calculation without standard cost estimate.
    Please provide configuration steps also.

    Hi,
    Can you let us know why your client does not want to update the std. cost price for a material?
    One of the key reasons for implementing SAP or any ERP system is to monitor the cost & value flows within the organization. Unless there is some compelling business need for it, you should strongly advise your client to go for costing of parts / assemblies.
    However if no costing is done & the std. price is '0' then if the activities have prices maintained, then when a confirmation is posted only the activity cost will be posted on the order. The variance calculated will then show only the difference if any b/n plan / target / actual activity costs, while part cost will remain zero.

  • Re:No release of production order without standard cost estimate

    Hello Experts
    I do not want to release any production order without standard cost estimate
    I have come acroos the same problem raised by some other users and can you please suggest how to achieve this?
    Is there any way to achieve this without user exit?
    Thanks and Regards
    Subbu

    Hello Subbu,
    In this case, you need to put the status as "B4" Blocked in costing 1 view of material master, when you create the costing view and change it to "03" status when you released the cost estimate.
    Please note that this field can be overwritten in MRP view also. Hence please get the good control of material master and good coordination with PP team to achive this.
    Please let me know if you require any clarifications.
    Thank you,

  • OPM Process Execution and OPM Standard Costing for Poultry Business

    I have a business requirement from the client at their Poultry Processing plant where the client feels that the OPM Execution steps are too cumbersome until closing the batches. The client wants to maintain minimum number of batches in Production: one for Primary, one for Secondary and one for Further Processing, rather than having multiple batches based on different formulas. There are 3 main types of processing which can be briefly described as follows:
    A.) Primary Processing:
    Live Birds (Ingredient) become Whole Dressed Chicken with Neck, without Neck, Liver, Heart, etc... (40 Finished Products)
    e.g. Live Birds (Broiler) -> Whole Dressed Chicken with/without neck, Whole Dressed Chicken with/without neck, etc.
    B.) Secondary Processing:
    Only one type of Whole Dressed Chicken (from Primary Processing) become Chicken Cuts (80 Finished Products).
    e.g.[Scenario B1] Whole Dressed Chicken (Broiler) -> Drumsticks, Thighs, Wings, Breasts, Backbone, etc.
    [Scenario B2] Breasts -> Filets and Deboned Breasts (2 FGs)
    [Scenario B3] Thighs -> Thighs in Plain Bag
    Please note that the Whole Dressed Chicken is also sold as a Finished Good as well as an Ingredient for the Secondary Processing.
    C.) Further Processing:
    Chicken Cuts become 40 Finished Products
    e.g Filets -> Chicken Nuggets, Chicken Fries, etc...
    The client is using Standard Costing method for its OPM Financials and all the finished products (160 Products in all) are having different production cost. Please note that 1 kg of Chicken Wings is not equal to 1 Kg of Chicken Thighs. Different body parts have different costs. In order to alleviate the maintenance of multiple batches per day on the production floor, the client wishes to have minimum batches. We therefore would wish if you can confirm the below approach to be correct?
    a.) OPM Process Execution:
    ==========================
    EITHER should I (Option 1):
    a.) Create ONLY 3 Formulas for Primary, Secondary and Further Processing . The 3 Formulas will have all the processing line Finished Products grouped together (as per the scenarios explained above). Formula for Primary and Secondary Processing can also combined together, reducing it to only 2 batches to maintain per day.
    b.) Can set any Quantity Values for the Ingredient, Product and By-Product in the Formula details with ANY Cost Allocation (amounting to a total of '1') in the Products section
    c.) Set the Validity Rules as 'PRODUCTION' for the 3 Recipes
    d.) Complete the steps defined in the 'OPM Cost Management' (as described below)
    e.) Create the 2 or 3 batches and record the appropriate quantities at the end of the day before closing the batches
    OR should I (Option 2):
    a.) Create MULTIPLE Formulas (above 100 formulas) for Primary, Secondary and Further Processing based on the different products processed.
    b.) Can set any Quantity Values for the Ingredient, Product and By-Product in the Formula details with ANY Cost Allocation (amounting to a total of '1') in the Products section
    c.) Set the Validity Rules as 'PRODUCTION' for the 3 Recipes
    d.) Complete the steps defined in the 'OPM Cost Management' (as described below)
    e.) Create the MULTIPLE batches and record the appropriate quantities at the end of the day before closing the batches.
    b.) OPM Cost Management:
    ========================
    Whether (Option 1 or Option 2) selected, the below needs to be set for OPM Costing:
    a.) Define multiple formulas (above 100), as in Option 2.
    b.) Set the Quantity value to be '1' for the Ingredient, Product and By-Product in the Formula details with the appropriate Cost Allocation in the Products section
    c.) Set the Validity Rules as 'COSTING' and 'PRODUCTION' for each Recipe
    d.) Run Cost Rollup at least once so that the products can have an item cost per unit
    As per me, for the purpose of Costing, it would be imperative to have multiple batches (created one time only) with appropriate Cost Allocation in the Formulas and the ‘Recipe Use’ in the Validity Rules should be set as ‘COSTING’. Then, setting Profile Option 'GMF: Use Only Costing Validity Rules for Cost Rollup' to 'Yes'. In this way, we are sure that the different products in the formula with correct Cost Allocation will have their Item Cost calculated after performing the Cost Rollup. AND, for the purpose of operations, we can only one combined formula of Live Birds (as Ingredients) to yield -> All FGs for Primary and Secondary Processing with Cuts. But, this time, the ‘Recipe Use’ in the Validity Rules of the Recipe should be set as ‘PRODUCTION’.
    I want to confirm which approach (Option 1 or Option 2) is more appropriate in terms of Operations and confirm that the above proposed steps are correct with no circular reference (as certain finished products are also used as ingredients for another product in the Secondary Processing)?

    Hi Raveesh
    I am implementing OPM R12 in Poultry Processing business, I think option 1 (Create 3 formulas/recipes/batches) is more appropriate. In my case we are using actual costing (Moving Average) as a costing method.
    I have set the profile option GMF: Cost Allocation Factor Calculation to be "Dynamic" to calculate the batch cost allocations as a ratio of actual quantity of each product produced to the total production batch output quantity and I have used OPM Financial Cost Allocation process to allocate GL expenses on different products based on Fixed percentage % according to product "value" where Filets has a return more than wings.
    Can you please share your knowledge in this business area and confirm to what extend my approach is correct ??
    Thank you and best regards

  • Sql 2005 standard edition for sql and AS databases with bpc 7.0 sp3 ?

    hello
    Install guide tells that we must use SQL 2005 Enterprise Edition with BPC except for Reporting Services.
    Customer asks wether he could use SQL 2005 Standard Edition for SQL database and Analysis Services ?
    Thanks.

    Hello Sorin. Two more questions, please:
    1) what do you mean by "Also into Application server you need EE because only in this version you have control flow." ?
    Is "control flow"  "business process flow" new functionality ?
    2) On the other hand, I don't think that BPC admin task is able to handle lite or full optimize without an Enterprise Edition Client.
    But customer asks wether it is possible to install on application server
    - SSIS standard edition for SSIS service
    - SSRS standard edition for Reporting Services
    - SQL client Enterprise Edition to let BPC admin task handle lite and full optimize properly.
    Why all this ? Because Enterprise Edition costs ten times more than Standard Edition and in a multi-server configuration, customer has to buy several SQL Server licenses, one per server running at least one SQL server service. (For example, with SQL,SSIS and OLAP on one server, and SSIS and SSRS running on the application server, customer has to buy two SQL servers licenses).
    Thanks. R.

  • Process Order Creation without Standard Cost

    Hello All,
    I need a functionality.. If standard cost is not released for a period , system should not allow me to create a process order in the certain period.
    Is any standard configurations allow me to achieve this????

    Mahesh,
    Standard SAP allows creation of order without Std cost estimate. Only in REM you could make it give error.
    However I suggest you could implement the exit PPCO0006.
    In this the function module EXIT_SAPLCOZF_003 contains the import parameter CAUFVD_IMP which has material number (MATNR) and plant (WERKS). Pass these to table MBEW and get the value of STPRS (std cost). If this value is 0 then give the error.
    Hope this is useful....if so reward points and close this thread.

  • No release of production order without standard cost estimate

    Hi All,
    I have an requirement, that is production order for a material should not be released or saved if standard cost estimate for that period is not released. Basically it should not allow to release or save the production for that material, is SCE is not run for that period. I tried various options, i also overheard its possible through user exit and many people have succeed in that.
    Has anybody overcome this problem, please do let me know. And which user exit??
    Thanks in advance
    With Best Regards
    GJ.

    Hi...
    I have faced the same problem in my previous project. What i have instructed to my client is to take control of Master data and put the status as "03" Blocked for movement till the statndard cost is released for this material.
    You can relase the status to "E2" in Cross Plant Status Field in Costing one view once the cost estimate is released for the material.
    I hope this works for you.
    Please let me know if you require any fruther information.
    Thank you,

  • How do I update standard cost for split valuation material?

    We are using split valuation on our maintenance material.  Maintenance material is held in an inventory account separate from our production material.  We have materials that are set up with a Parent material as variable, and child materials  which are NEW or REFURBISHED or CORE.
    The Child materials are set as standard cost.  Some of the standards are old.  Unlike our production materials, which have their cost standards on the Costing 2 tab of the material master, split valuation child parts have their costing on the Accounting 1 tab.
    I attempted to update a cost standard by loading a future price manually in the material master.   I was able to load a future price, but could not get it to release in CK24.
    I have been unsuccessful in finding a process or procedure that tells me how to update a child standard once is already exists.  There was one blog that said that the standards could only be released using CK24N if the quantity is zero.  I attemped to update costs on part with zero quantity on hand. This was also unsuccessful.
    I am looking for a process- ie 1) load a future cost using tcode XYZ, 2) Mark and release cost using tcode XYZ, 3) validate changed inventory value using tcode XYZ.
    Thank you in advance for your assistance.

    Hi Govind
    If your valuation variant reads MAP as the strategy sequence - Then average MAP will be taken... i.e. the MAP in the parent accounting view of the material will be taken
    However, if your strategy sequence is intended to look for info records, then follow the link given in the earlier reply
