Prodcution Variance

Hi
Anybody could explain below queries. Basically Iam MM
Consultant. I need this information very urgent.
1.What is the actual cost in the production order ?Where
   can i see in the system ?
2.What is the production variance ? When it will post into
   the Material Ledger ?
3.What is the purpose that why we are maintaining
   Cost center in the workcenter ?
4. What is workcenter category and activity type ?
5. What does month end closing do ?
Could anybody explain the steps with tcode.
Regards,
RRS.

hi,
actual cost in the production order means the cost of raw material and this will calculate based on activity type that based on hours,minutes ,seconds, and u can see this in cs02 tere goto menu tab goto -
> costs -
>analysis
there you ill see actual costs
variance is between the actual costs and the plant costs......
if useful assign points..........

Production variances

Hi,
Once after we assign all the prodcution variances flow to CO-PA, how can we can we see those variances from CO-PA side?
Thank you,
Nivi

Hi
You can view the posted items through TCODE KE24 line item display. Here enter the values for the selection parametrs like company code, period and year, material/ product and execute and this will show the list of posted line items. If you drilldown the line item you will see the details.
PA does not haveany standard reports. SO you need to build meaningful reports to view the posted variances.

FIFO with moving average price

we are using for own produced goods "moving average price" and Material ledger. At month end we setlle production variance . The system also creates an entry for ML "price variance" (which is the percentage of the prodcution variance for the remained stock).
When we run the document extract (MRF3), with the option of "Order settlement", the costs include not only the production variance but also the ML line. That is too high.
When we run it without selecting "Order settlement" the adjustement is the reversal of the price variance (the ML line item). That is too low.
The total costs should be only the total production costs.
One cannot exlude it by the material movement as both "price variance" and "production variance" is not part of a material movement.

hi,
We need to follow the steps if we need to valuate our inventory by means of FIFO Scenario :
1. In T-code OMWE, activate the balance sheet valuation as LIFO Valuation not active & FIFO Valuation active.
2. In T-code MRLH, FIFO Maintained at company code or plant level.
3. In T-code OMWL, set mean receipt price at valuation ares level if Plant or at company code level if at company code level.
4. Configure FIFO Valuation ares for teh respective year.
5. In T-code OMWP, Configure FIFO Method.
6. In T-code OMW4, Movemnet type settings for FIFO maintained. Generally, no chnages made.
7. Select material for FIFO in Tcode MRF4.
8. Execute FIFO Valuation- Tcode MRF1.
Hope it helps..

Actual cost are not updating in prodcutcost collectors ( KKF6N) - Variances

Hi SAP's
We are facing the problem with the Variance calculation for product cost collectors.
The issue is When we are calulating the Variances for prodcut cost collectors the actual costs are not ( For few materials of BOM) updating.
Because of these the variances are showing high.....If I settele this variances to COPA, my copa report is will be going wrong.....
Please help me to comeout of this problem.

Cost of Production BOM in Prodcution Order

Hello Experts,
Here is scenario that i need help :
Assume that we have a Production BOM with two components with a price of $10 in the pirce list :
Parent Item: A0001 ( Price of A0001 is $10)
Components : A0002,A0003 ( Price of A0002 is $0 and Price of A0003 is $10)
When we create a prodcution order for A0001 with a quantity 1000 and close , i noticed that in the summary tab of Prodcution Order and noticed that Actual component cost : $10,000 and Actual cost : $0 and Total Variance : $10,000.
Due to this there is variance in Prodcution Clearing Account. Could you please help me a right approach on how to enter correct cost for Production BOM.
Any help will be appreicated.
Thanks,

Production order variance cost

Hi,
I know that Plan Cost is caculated based on value and
seconds which is maintained in KP26 transaction. Workcenter
attached to Routing.
I want to know that how actual cost or calculated ?
In the prodcution order CO03> Cost > Analyses, Plan
cost is 30 and actual cost is 70 and variance updated as 40.
The reason i heard that for higher actual cost captured in
production, while doing confirmation they booked more time.
But i have seen transaction co15, there is no such field in
that.
Could anybody explain where i can see how much time
booked for that operation in production order ?
Regards,
RRS.

Hi,
Also check with COOIS report.
List = confirmation
Profile = Std profile
Inside the report select the Field like "Activity to confirm", "unit /activity"
This will give u operation wise , Confirmed actual activity value for Order

Sale Order Scenario - Report in PS Budget /Actual/Variance

Dear Experts,
Please help me understand solve the scenario given below
Step 1
Work order issued to a contractor ( contract includes Service and Material from the contractor) - Service being the labour part
and Material being the cement
But cement is supplied by the client as a sale of cement at a basic price agreed between the two parties.
Eg:
There are 2 WBS
WBS 1 - has a PR released converted to PO with value 100 ( inclusive service + material)
Material procured through me51n , Me21n - GR done and stock has come to GNST ( 40 rs)
material converted to sale order stock mb1b - 412 E after creating sale order with reference to WBS 2
WBS 2 - reports cost incurred for procurement ie; 40rs
Actual booked against WBS1 based on GR 100
Once the billing is done for rs 20 ( basic price) report in budget actual variance shows as below
                Budget    Actual    Variance
WBS 1      200          100          100
WBS 2                       40           -40
Report should show 120 as the project cost rather than 140 - since 20 is lost against selling at lower cost.
How to get the cost to 120 which is the actual cost for the work

SSRS Matrix report. Variance expression by Month. Need to compare month from prior year to current month of current year VS2010

Please help. I have a matrix report. In the report I have row group PO Type. One the Column groups I have a parent group by Fiscal Year, and then a child group by Month. When I run the report, I get two years of data back broken
out by month. Please see below.
Now here is where I am getting stuck. I need to take the variance between the current month of the current year, from the same month of the prior year. So I need to show the difference between Oct , 2014 from Oct, 2013. November, 2014 from November
2013... etc. etc.
In the example below, how do I create a column or row showing the variance for Contracts for October 2014. I need to take the contracts for October 2014 which is 3 and subtract that from October 2013 which is 8. Any suggestions? How do I do that
for each month? Then I need to do it for the quarter... then the year? But I'll be happy if I can just get the month working first.
Any help will be appreciated.
here is what my rdl file looks like.
Here is what my report looks like when I render it.

Hi Adrian_s2012,
According to your description, you want to compare values for the month of current year with the month of prior year and get the variance. Right?
In Reporting Services, we don't have any function to get this "Year to Year" Growth. In this scenario, if you data source is a cube, we suggest you use Analysis Services to achieve your requirement. If this data source is just from database, it will be hardly
to calculate the variance because we need to compare the values within every two different column group and matrix generate adjacent columns one by one. Even we make it by using custom, every time executing the long code when generating result
in a cell will reduce a lot of performance, we really don't suggest to do that in SSRS. Here is a thread with much easier requirement, please take a reference of that:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/842e2dcb-d949-4297-9d91-eac989692cb5/difference-between-the-grouped-column?forum=sqlreportingservices
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

SSRS Variance expression problem. Create a Variance expression. Compare current month with same month from previous year.

Hello,
I am using VS2010 shell. I have a matrix report where I have a row group by Year. Then I have a column group by Month.
When I run the report, I get 2013 data on top of 2014 data. Now I need to create a variance by year for each month.
So in the example below, I need to create an expression that will pull the variance for Oct 01... subtracting 2013 from 2014 for the months. So I need to Subtract 8,222 - 4290. I have no clue.
Here is what my rdl looks like.
Thank you for your help.

Hi Adrian,
If I understand correctly, you want to calculate the difference order between 2013 and 2014 for every month. And there are only two years in the FISCAL_YEAR field.
If in this scenario, we can simply use the following expression to achieve your requirement:
=first(Fields!ORDER.Value)-last(Fields!ORDER.Value)
The following screenshot is for your reference:
If there are any misunderstanding, please elaborate the issue for further investigation.

Production Variances of semifinished goods in COPA

Hi,
We are using Costing based COPA, which is updated at the time of billing.
The production variances are posted to COPA when the settlement of the production orders are done.
The production variances if brought within the purview of COPA report (based on sales), the plan vs actuals can be compared. However, in case of actuals, the production variances would appear only to the extent of tha particular product sold (that too, to the extent of qty produced and not qty sold)..
I have two issues:
1. Whether system can explode the BOM and bring in the production variances of semi-finished goods into the total production variances, if I drill down only on the Finished product sold. The total actual cost would include the variances of relevant SFG also. Is this possible, if so how?
2. Whether, by bringing production qty and sales qty, the proportionate prod variances be calculated (total prod var * sales qty / prod qty). This can surely be done by inserting formulae. But is this justified from business point of view?
Please help me resolving this issue..
Edited by: Swapvik on Mar 17, 2009 7:11 AM

Hi Swapvik,
Issue No.1:
When you are using only Standard Costing in CO-PC, variances will not get rolled-up to the next level. Only costs get rolled-up. As per your requirement, when you see the report in COPA, when you see the details of FG and you want to see the variances of it's SFG also, this would be possible only if you have activated Material Ledger. If ML is active, variances also get rolled-up along with costs.
Issue No.2:
The ultimate purpose of bringing Variances into COPA and making part of them in a report is to consider COGM subject to the variances. Though it is not 100% justified, it gives you the most appropriate analysis compared to where you don't consier the variances at all. If you don't consider variances there, that means, you are considering only COGM and not taking the effect of variances, which will definitely not a correct picture of Profitability.
Pls revert back for further explanation...

Pivot Table - Calculate Variance - Hidden Fields?

I need some help adding a target value field inside a pivot table in excel.
Here is what my current pivot table looks like.
Regions                 1 year - Actual              1 year - Target??
Difference
                  (April 2013 to MArch 2014)
(Target - Actual)?
Region1                $6,355,696.75
Region2                $6,775,309.87
Region3                $2,230,424.76
Regions expand into managers which in turn expand to consultants.
What I want to do is add a column for target values of the 3 different regions and then create another calculated field that will show the difference between the target and actual values.
Can this be done without writing any stored procedures in SQL? I want to do this in excel itself.
The target values are not calculated so can we store them in hidden fields or something in the pivot or excel?

1. Click anywhere in Pivot and go to Options tab > Formulas > Calculated Field.
2. Create a calculated field called Target (whatever name your choose). If your target is say 7000000, put this value in Formula field. You may put it with or without =
3. Now after this, you can once again create a new Calculated Field. Let's say this is Variance. If you variance is Target - Actual, put this as =Target-Actual in Calculated Field.
4. Your pivot will have whatever you wanted.

Variance calculation at reporting level

Dear All,
There are two key figures in my report - Plan and Actual amount. Now user wants to see the variance between these two in % terms.
Formula is ( Acutal - plan )/plan *100 . Now this formula works when plan value is not zero when ever the plan value is zero the display will be X . Now user wants to put a check say whenever the plan is zero then display 100 % variance. How can we achieve this at reporting level.
Thanks and Regards,
Anup.

Hi Anup,
Try something like this:
(Plan = 0)*100 + (Plan <.> 0)*((Acutal - Plan) / Plan * 100)
I'm not sure but you might have to use the NOERR function in case of division by zero:
(Plan = 0)*100 + (Plan <.> 0)*NOERR((Acutal - Plan) / Plan * 100)
In both samples remove the "."
Hope it helps.

Vendor variance report

vendor variance report and vendor performance report both are same . pls tell in detail . points will be rewarded definitely.

Hi
Both are same
Before purchasing some thing from Vendor We ask for quotations from different vendors
After receiving them all will be compared in terms of the Prices, different Taxes and other conditions and a single vendor is shortlisted asking him to supply the goods. We will issue a PO for that vendor.
Reward points if useful

Hard to believe: missing report on purchase order price variances ...

dear all-
Happy New Year to you all and all the best for this new 2008!
Traditionally the procurement to pay process is an area that really can benefit from automation. However more important than automation (efficiency), tools that support a process have to be effective first! And provide good understanding of business process at hand by providing information on essential key-figures of the process at hand.
That brings me to the topic of this post: purchase price variance. In my opinion the SAP functionality effectively handles PPV (purchase price variances): variance between purchase price and standard cost (let's call this one PPV1) and the variance between the invoice price and the purchase price (let's call this one PPV2). A good understanding of both PPV1 and PPV2 are useful for potential process improvements ... PPV1 relates more to the efforts of the purchasing deparment and/or determination of pricing in purchase orders while PPV2 brings in the efforts of the vendor.
Anyways, in order to obtain understanding of the variances mentioned, information is needed. E.g. a purchase price variance report or -analysis. I can't find such a report!
I did look on various forums and when I find something that relates to a PPV-report or -analysis, people are discussing ways to create an ABAP-report or query ... Much to my surprise: no clear answers. It looks that such a report even does not exist! That's what I find hard to believe!
Does anyone of you know about a report or analysis-tool on purchase price variances? Or is it really true that such a report is just not there!
thanks,
Ben

Hello Ben,
i have been checking the whole Forum and also asked around collegues and it seems that it is really still true there is no simple report that is showing PPV details (PO price, Invoice price, Standard price and the quantities and values)
I think the solution to get such a report is to programm it Starting point would be the line items on PPV account.
To get such a report with connection between Delivery and Invoice, GR based IV is helpful.
It is unbelivable that this never has been setup !
We are currently using FBL3N on the PPV accounts by current monthe with 2 variants subtotalling on matarial and sorting by high value
Let me know if anybody find a report
Cheers

Variance of Wagetype amounts Report for the previous and prest months

Hi experts,
our clients are wish to have the report of Variance of Wagetypes for the Previous and Present months.
we require the report on new wagetypes included in the Current month along with amount and also any wagetypes deleted for the current month along with amount.We also need to have the Difference between previous gross amount and current months Gross.
Is it possible to have the report on variation of amounts.
Regards,
V Sai.

Hi,
The quickest way is to use wage type reporter (transaction PC00_M99_CWTR, report H99CWTR0_CE).
There you can specify two payroll periods and compare values by wage types, if necessary export result in Excel and do whatever you want.
Cheers
