Process order variance calculation

Hi All,
We have Sub- Assemblies which are currently set up in the system as purchased, sub-contracted sub-assemblies. this is how we will procure these the large majority of the time. There will be instances, however, where we will need to build them in house. but when we run cost estimate and mark and release sytem is using sub-contract Quantity structure in cost roll and when we producing we are using different Quantity structure like like BoM and Routing.at the time of variance calulation we are getting errors becuase of conflict in cost estimate Quantity structure and process order Quantity structure.
How can i solve this issue?any help is appreciated...
I'm getting the following error..
Message no. KV181
Diagnosis
This message tells you which quantity structure was used by the cost estimate that calculated the target costs, and which quantity structure was used in the actuals.
The cost estimate that calculated the target costs did not use the quantity structure used in the actuals.
This means that the cost estimate used a different combination of task list type, task list group, and group counter than in the order itself (such as the production order).
Example:
Suppose the target costs were calculated in the standard cost estimate for the material, and that the standard cost estimate for the material is based on the routing identified by task list type N, task list group 50000309, and group counter 1.
Now suppose the production order specifies a routing identified by task list type N, task list group 50000309, and group counter 2. This would lead to the error.
System Response
The system cannot calculate target costs for the valuation of work in process or scrap.

Hi,
Please check SAP Note 386816 for error KV181.
In general it is recommended to use the Cost estimate of the Process Order (Planned Cost Estimate) for the WIP at target calculation. In additional please pay attention to SAP Note 386816 which explains this procedure and which prerequisites must be met to calculate WIP at targets or the scrap variance. Even if the group counter of the routing is different you can still calculate WIP at targets but only if the message type of message KV181 is set to SPACE by Customizing settings.
Hope this will a bit help to you.
Best regards, Takashi

Process order variance calculation not taking the GI+Activity confirmation Cost

Hi,
Process oder was settled in the Month of June,2014. Accounting document was generated,but system only considered the GR cost. System was not considered the GI as well as activity cost on variance calculation. Variance posted GR= Variance.
22nd June,2014 Variance calculated, on 30th WIP entery also reversed with the same amount.
1st July,Order done untecho and no transactions are posted in the Month of July.
Now they would like to settle the Process in the Month of July. system is throwing the error " Status DLV/TECHO reversed after settlement period 006.2014"
Order status was TECO PRT CNF PRC CSER BASC BCRQ CRF No variance calculation status.
Any one faced any similar issue , please suggest me how to proceed.

Target Cost in Process Order not calculated

Hello,
In Process order, after deliver of FG the target cost is not getting calculated,
Could you please help me why the target cost is not calculated in process order.
I have configured all setting for WIP and Variance

Hi,
Target costs are only calculated after goods movements have occured on the order, the Target Costs are then calculated during the Variance calculation.
Target costs will only be calculated after the first goods receipt has been posted to the order. Also you have to ensure that the information to calculate target costs exists on the system in particular in OKV6.
This estimation is based on the customizing for the Target cost version in transaction OKV6 as in turn will the "real" calculation of the Target costs via the variance calculation.
So in OKV6 the Target cost will be based on preliminary costing on the order, an alternative cost estimate or the current standard cost estimate. Importantly if the choosen option is not fulfilled e.g. no current standard cost estimate, the target costs will not be predicted or calculated.

Process order variance

Dear experts,
Here is process order scenario
In that i am doing variance calculation for one order
but it is giving message that "no order could be processed "
Plz guide me what could be reason
thanks in advance
regards
sachin ghogale

Dear
Before doing variance calculation check your order status it must be DLV status.
1. After Final Confirmation of Order (Status: CNF) make GR for order using T.code: MIGO / MB31 so Production Order Status will be DLV.
2. Then complete the order technically by using T.code: CO02--> Functions (Menu)---> Restrict Processing -
> Technically Complete. You can carry out TECO for multiple Orders in T.code: COHV (Mass Processing).
3. Now Calculate Overheads using T.code: KGI2 - Individual Processing
CO43 - Collective Processing

Production order variance calculation RKKKS000

Hi Gurus,
we have a strange issue, where system is taking more than 28 hours to calculate variances by using program RKKKS000. because of this business en-countering issues for month end processes, I came to know one of the program which has the ability to select order type and number range KKS1 RKKKS1N0.
can this job be used in 4.7 version if so how to find the order types and muber range for selection. if business wants to use Existing program RKKKS000 is there any way to reduce Job performance (less than 10 hours).
Thanks,
Sree

Hi,
set status DLFL for the orders that should not be processed anymore, thats the best way to reduce the variance calculation runtime.
Check SAPNET note 393896 for other performance tips (parallel processing,...)

Process Order variances.

To look at our daily Labour and Material variances we run the general ledger report listing all Process orders for the week to date. We also have a report called MCRQ that should pull all the orders togeather. If we run these for the same dates they are always different? Also you can find Process orders on one report without it being on the other, why would this happen?

Hi Raja,
What is the order qty? is it 110 ? For how much qty confirmation is done..is it 100.. and during confirmation scrap is entered as 10..what is the status of process order DLV..?
are you using any assembly scrap ? check in material master in MRP1 view and confirm ..can you check all this and confirm...
Thanks

Target costs on Process orders not calculating

Hi All,
We have released standard costs for all the materials. We have also done Goods receipt for the process order but still the TARGET COSTS are not getting updated.
Can some one tell is any specific config present for the same.
We need to fix the process orders but how?
Thanks,
Hari

Dear Harihara,
<b>You must have all manufacturing master data associated with your manufactured material(s) set up.</b> This includes bills of material, work centres, routings, and activity prices. If you are charging overhead, you must also have maintained the costing sheet and the material master overhead key field.
Hope this is helpful.

Variance Calculation In Process order

Dear All Gurus,
We have produt cost by order.
In process order variance calculation I am gatting variance being calculated on Input v/s output costs.
While settlement also same variance is being posted.
I want variance to be calculated target v/s Actual
Please advice
Thanks in advance
Bhushan

I think in production order the variance is calculated between actual costs vs planned costs which is nothing but the input costs minus the gr coss of material produced at std costs.
Is that happenning or not??

Variance Calculation for Prod order

Deal All
I have problem when run prod order variance calculation (KKS2) for period 8 why the order for period 9 is also calculated ?
why this happen ?
Thanks and regards

Hi Aditya
The program is designed in a way that all open prod orders are considered in it.. however, variance will not be calculated on it
For eg: You calculate Var in 009 for period 008.. Prod order created in fag end of 008 and processing started in 009... During var cal, system will give an error for this prod order saying "Only rem variances can be calculated for it" or some error of that sort
you can ignore this error... I got a note released from SAP for this error.... however, that note is under reconstruction now and hence not available
You can raise an OSS msg mentioning note no 1320759 and ask them when it will be available again

Process Order Cost Analysis Target and Actual Quantity Missing

This is related to Process order costing .
Issue : Before activating Material Update field in Costing view 1 of Material master , we have created few process orders and Delivered .
Hence cost analysis shows Actual and target cost fields Empty in COST ANALYSIS report of order . After Updating field in Material master , New Process orders are calculated with Actual and Target cost .
Solution needed : How to do Actual and Target cost estimation back in cost analysis report for old process orders which are created before Material Update field ?

You have deleted the Component in the BoM.
Then you have created a production order, check if the start date of this order is after the date change in the BoM..... Can be that the component stills exists in the order ? Have you tried deleting the compoent in the order BoM ?

Settlement of process order

In PP-PI We want to use active ingredient for scenario:
Our Raw material is MINING ORE which will have varying proportion of COPPER & COBALT.
Valuation of ORE is based on itu2019s content of COPPER & COBALT content. So we will use active ingredient to capture value of this raw material based on it content of CU & CO.
Now when we issue this material for production to process order, our semi finished output ( Say SFG1) will also have varying content of COPPER & COBALT based on kind of input quality. There will several process orders doing diff. processe.
Now my query is
1)     Can we settle the process order variance to COPPER & COBALT content of SFG1 instead of normal settlement to SFG1?
2)     Can I maintain my valuation of SFG1 based on COPPER & COBALT content?
3)     Do we have any user exit or BADI available to replace SFG1 with CO& CU in process order settlement rule?
4)     In standard cost estimate can we capture COPPER & COBALT characteristics?
Ultimately COPPER & COBALT are our finished goods.
I try to search sap help but not much info to help me on this.
Your input will be highly appreciated.
Nitesh

Hi,
The concept explained is typically a co-product scenario:
Ore produces SEMI COPPER and SEMI COBALT. SEMI COPPER and SEMI COBALT produce FIN COPPER and FIN COBALT.
This scenario is covered under u2018CO-PROUDUCTu2019 concept. Here Ore is Raw Material, SEMI COPPER and SEMI COBALT are SEMI-PRODUCT and finally COPPER and COBALT are Finished Product.
Now estimate the standard cost for your SEMI-PRODUCTS and FINISHED PRODUCTS using integrated BOM. Sit with your PP Consultant who can give you good input for costing the products whether based on quanity yield or quality yield.
Once this is tested and found the results are expected, the solution can be freezed.
Please let me know your feed back.

Ashok

Process Order Settlement Rule by Order Type

Hi Experts
Our Client a requirement to have Process Order Settlement by Order Type please let me know how it can be achieved
In SAP a Process Order Variance is settled via the following Combination in OBYC :-
1 Chart of Accounts
2 Transaction PRD
3 Valuation Modifier
4 General Modifier
5 Valuation Class
6 GL Account
Can this account assignment based on the Order Type ?
Thanks
Suman

Dear Suman,
Normally, Order Types serves a different purpose. We can maintain default settlement rule, Costing Variants, Settlement Profiles, Number ranges etc at Order Type Level.
It is not possible to directly manage the Order Types in the Account Assignment in OBYC.
Thanks & Kind Regards

Proces order variance settlement posting to multiple accounts in FI

Dear,
Settlement of process order variance is controlled via GBB - AUA, where a different account can be used by valuation class. Our requirement is to post on a different account by variance category though. Any idea wheher this is possible / which user-exit?
txs, Koen De Groote

Hello
It is not possible to post the variances to different GL accounts. However for analysis you can take the different variances to different COPA value fields.
