  • Old material overwritten by new material code in Product cost collector

    Hi SAP Gurus,
    How can I work around if a product cost collector with material XXX has been overwritten by a new material YYY when creating the KKF6N.
    Both material code having the same plant, same orde type,same production version but just different material code.
    When saving the preliminary costing for the product cost collector for material YYY, the system prompted me the order number 700022 which is already existing and created for material XXX.
    By right, this shd not be happened but indeed it did.
    Now when displaying the report S_ALR_87013127 - Order Selection, the report showed the new material YYY was created with order number 700022 but the content of the data was for old material XXX.
    Now my problem is how can I get back the product cost collector for material XXX as the original order number 700022 was meant for material XXX and not mat YYY.
    And also when executing backflush (MFBF) for old material XXX, the error msg prompted as 'content of order 700022: Mat YYY transferred to interface (IMSEG):Mat XXX due to this I can't backflush material XXX.
    Really appreciate your expertise on this urgently.
    many thanks!

  • Transfer of Costs in Product Cost Collector to COPA

    Dear Experts,
    Please can you advise me on this current issue I'm having. Below is a description of problem:
    Customer is currently using report designed in COPA (KE30) to derive P&L report for using Plant as a characteristic.
    This was being done at a time when Product Costing functionality was not being used
    All costs (administrative, sales and production costs) were being collected in cost centers
    At end of month assessment of cost center values to COPA is executed (KEU5)
    Customer is then able to derive P&L report per Plant characteristic
    However with implementation of Product Costing, all Production related costs are captured in Product Cost Collectors and not Cost Center
    Hence we have no way of assessing or transferring total production costs from Product Cost Collector to CO-PA
    We have tried to configure FI/MM PA transfer structure (KEI1) and default account assignment (OKB9) for automatic transfer of costs on goods receipt/issue, however this is not working because the product cost collector is used as the default account assignment for the transactions
    So far only material cost valuation of sales/billed materials are possible (which does not address concern)
    As a result we have a gap and customer is unable to derive P&L by Plant from CO-PA.
    Can you advise if there is a way out, in order to have all Production Cost transferred to CO-PA.
    Thanks,
    Ola.

    Hi Ola
    Your Cost centers would be categorized as below
    1. MFG Cost Centers (In Plant)
    2. Service Cost Centers (In Plant)
    3. Few Cost centers (outside plant) Eg: Sales, Marketing, Sales offices etc
    At period end
    1. Allocate the Costs from SER CC to MFG CC using Distribution / Assessment cycle.
    This will make SER CC as zero
    2. Calculate actual activity price in MFG CC (KSS2 / KSII)
    3. After this, do revaluation of PCC using CON2.. This will make balance in MFG CC as zero
    4. Allow the Variances to be updated to COPA by ticking the "Variances to Costing based COPA" in your settlement profile
    5. In short, what remains for you to allocate to COPA is the 3rd category of CC.. i.e. you should allocate those CC to COPA whose cost is not included in the cost of product using COPC module

  • CO88 - Collective Settlement Processing for Product cost collectors

    Hello Gurus,
    I have couple of Settlement related problems. Please advice if you have any solution to fix these problems.
    1.We are using CO88 - Collective Settlement Processing for Product cost collectors but some of the cost collectors are not settling fully. Where as the same cost collector settled individually without any problem.
    2. Some cost collectors are settled but very small amounts are still there as un-settled.
    Thanks in advance.
    Vishwanath.

    Hi
    Welcome to SDN! We hope your 1st experience here is good
    Issue 1: It depends on the error that you got at the time of settlement... Many times, when a PCC is being posted to from Production while you are trying to settle, it can give you error...
    later on it can be settled w/o any issues
    Issue 2: Ideally there does not remain any amount after settlement.. May be the amount which you are seeing pertains to the next month.. You can shift to periodic view using CtrlShiftF11 and see if any balance really exists

  • Product Cost Collectors not settled to GL's during Period end Close

    Hi,
    We are using the repetative manufacturing process. We have an issue with our repetative manufacturing orders, during the monthly period end close.The product cost collectors WIP is not been settled to GL's.
    The normal production orders are been settled to the GL's and both use the same settlement profile.
    Can anyone suggest where could be the problem?
    Thanks,
    Srini

    Hi,
    In the SAP standard (as per the transaction codes indicated by you) it is not possible to include multiple plants. Either you have to execute for one Plant or for all plants. Probably, in Test run you can execute for all Plants and check the results, and then decide.
    Thanks

  • Splitting without product cost collector

    Hello All,
    Can anybody tell me how a splitting of a existing production order can be done without a product cost collector. i tried splitting but it is doing with product cost collector.
    Thank you.
    Alok  Tiwari

    Hi Alok,
    This is from SAP documentation:
    Costs
    Actual costs
    The costs of the parent and child orders are collected in a common Product Cost Collector. This is because the parent order, as a rule, has already caused actual costs before the split took place. If the actual costs were collected in the parent order before the split, and separately in the parent/child orders after the split, then the materials of the parent order would have excessively high costs per piece, and the child order correspondingly lower costs. As a result, settlement for each order would result in unwanted variances in controlling.
    So, as you can see this is the way he system works, and for good reasons.
    Why is that a problem to you?

  • Target costs on Product cost collectors

    Hi,
    we have a problem with target costs on product cost collector.
    For the product cost collectors which are existing from long time, it is not updating target costs as soon as backflushing(Goods issue and goods receipt at same time) is done.
    For the product cost collectors which are created newly it is updating target costs as soon as backflushing is done.
    so we would like to know exactly at what point of time target costs will be updated on product cost collector.
    Thanks,
    Santosh Malisetti.

    Hi Rich,
    After researching little bit we found that its a standard functionality for product collector's not to update target costs until we do the variance caluculation. But there is one special case. When a new product collector is created it will update the target costs when backflushing(GI and GR ) is done, but this will happen during first month only. once this product cost collector has participated in variance calculation process, it will not update the target costs when backflushing is done,
    until it participates in  variance calculation again.
    Thanks,
    Santosh

  • Mass change of profit centers in Product Cost Collectors

    Gurus,
    My client has a requirement of mass change of Profit Centers in Product Cost Collector (Transaction Code KKF6N). Is there any way of doing this using LSMW or anything else?
    I had tried with LSMW Recording, but there is a particular production version associated to profit centers in KKF6N tranasction, because of this I couldnt go to particular production version and update the profit center.
    So, Is there any easy way doing this?

  • Profit center in Product cost collector

    Hi,
    We need to change the profit center in the product cost collector after the actual postings were made. SAP does not allow to change the profit center. So any other work around solution for this issue? Can somebody help me with this?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Raghava

    Hi Bhuvaneswari,
    We are having a situation,
    The issue is to change the profit center for the product collector after the actual postings were made. Now the big problem is there is no PA transfer structure defined to execute the settlement for these product cost collectors and then change the profit center. Can you give some work around solution for this? And also what about the postings made previously.
    To give more insight,
    In the order type, Settlement profile is maintained
    In the Settlement profile, Allocation structure is maintained
    How do you link the settlement profile / allocation structure to the PA transfer structure?
    I can not settle the order (Product cost collector) as there is no PA transfer structure
    Thanks & Regards,
    Raghava

      In your REM profile you might have defined to backflush using Prel. cost estimate rather than std. cost estimate, please check and revert back.

  • How to maintain One product cost collector for multiple materials and configuration setting

    Hi experts,
    my requirement is that i want to maintain one product cost collector for multiple materials ans also i want to know the configuration setting for the same.
    I have used KKF6N but it is not working in my case. I went through KKF6M also but there i found multiple cost collectors.
    please guide me in the same.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Shripad,
    you cannot assign same  Product cost collector to different material.
    Because you creating cost collector for material combination of material /production version,material /Bom Routing.
    so please create individual cost collector for every material.
    if you have any query kindly revert back.
    Please mark the answer as helpful if it is helpful to you.

  • Error while creating Product Cost Collector

    Hi SAP Gurus,
    While creating Product Cost Collector I am getting the following Error:
    Enter a distribution rule for Order without a validity limit
    Message no. KD059
    Diagnosis
    The settlement profile used requires you to define a distribution rule for Order. For period 009 2008, however, you have not created a distribution rule for Order.
    Procedure
    Create a distribution rule for Order without a validity limit, because, if the distribution rule does have a validity limit, the system always issues this message in the period following the last valid period.
    You can also use a different settlement profile that does not require such a distribution rule, or change the settlement rule used.
    Can any one help where exactly i need to maintain this.
    The settlement profile settings are fine.
    I am getting this error only after i have changed the scenario to Reproting point back flushing

    Dear Suryanarayana
    Please check the corresponding settlement profile for product orders.
    In most of the cases message KD059 means that no distribution rule is assigned to your production order.
    This is not an error, but the system design. In order to avoid message KD059 you will either have to enter settlements parameters and a distribution, or change settlement profile for valid receivers in transaction OKO7 from 'settlement required' to 'Can be settled'.
    I hope this helps resolve the issue for you. I wish you the best in your endeavours.
    Kind Regards,
    Brendan

  • Report to analyze multiple product cost collectors

    Hi,
    Is there any report which can be used be analyze more than one product cost collector (material) on actual and target cost and usage,
    Basically just as KKBC_PKO can be used to analyze a single material at a time
    Is there anyway to use it for more than one material ?
