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

Settlement Parameters on Product Cost Collectors

The basic config on Product Cost Collectors has settlement to a material.
1) Does someone know how to change the settlement rules to settle to a GL account or Order for new materials
2) For old materials, does someone know how to change the settlement rules. SAP - I believe in HELP and in note 388457 says you cannot change the setlement rules.
Thanks

Thank you for responding.
Unfortunately, even if you create a new profile and allocation structure, you cannot change it on the order.
I later found in SAP HELP that the settlement profile on cost collectors cannot be change. That was also verified by oss 388457.
But, I was hoping I was wrong or there has been a further change

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

Changing the receiver cat in the settlement rule of Product cost collector

Hi,
I have created a Product cost collector using the Transaction - KKF6N. and observed that the settlement rule got created automatically with the CAT - MAT. I need help for below queries.
1. Is it possible to change the settlement rule for the Product cost collector?
2. If yes, Could you please let me know the procedure to do this?
3. If no, what is the alternate as I want to change the CAT from MAT to ORD.
Your help is very much appreciable and Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi,
Check in order type, Which settlement profile is maintained. Then Goto settlement profile maintain receive type which you want to settle.

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

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

Essence of product cost collectors

In REM
what is essence of product cost collector (KKF6n), {As I understand production cost collectors
are cost carrying elements}, but needs to have more insights like how it captures
production costs ( i.e through activities, price maintained in accounting view....)
Does it make any difference if product cost collector is executed before MRP run, or it has
to be executed only after MRP run

Dear Eshwer,
1.Product Cost collector is one of the master data in REM scenario.
2.This product cost collector is no where related to MRP.
3.Product Cost collector is used as a cost object in REM scenario,which means all the cost will be
booked under this product cost collector for that material.
4.Whatever the confirmations that are done in MFBF or MF41 or MF42N,the cost will get debited or
credited accordingly for that material and the impact will be seen in the product cost collector.
5.This product cost collector will be having an order number which will be used for order settlement and
variance calculation.
6.For creating a product cost collector you will require a production version.
7.so whenever you do an assembly or activity or component backflush,the cost will be booked under
this product cost collector.
8.So as such there's no relation between MRP and a product cost collector.
I hope this pints will help you to some extent.
Revert back with your further queries.

Deleting old Product cost collectors with variances

Hi Experts
The client is wanting to archive old Product Cost Collectors. There are 3 of them that say that they have unsettled variances. I need to delete these which are in 1999 and 2001
The error message is KO451. I have tried to set this error to a warning but it is not allowing this
Please advise
Kind regards
Dawn

Hi Dawn,
you can check SAP note 140672 in which the procedure to be followed is explained
in case of KO451.
A workaround would be: You can uncheck the indicator 'Variances to
Costing-Based PA' in
settlement profile. Then you can close/archive the order.

Product Cost Collectors

Hi,
Can anyone tell me what is exactly product cost collectors and what is the impact on the production orders and cost?
If there is a BOM change, we will just create new production version and new product cost collector. We will not update the standard cost. Is it that the new production orders will pick up the new cost based on the product cost collector? even though the standard cost was not up to date? What will be the impact to the accounting?
Kindly please advise. Thank you.

Hi,
Following link will be useful:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/5f/1faba54aee11d189740000e8322d00/frameset.htm
A few points for reference:
- Product Cost by Period, Product is the main cost object.
- Actual costs can be collected on the PCC
- No settlement rule for a mfg order linked to a PCC
- In PCC, the components in the BOM picks up the price from the material master
- If Std Cost Est is not upto date, then matls in PCC will take existing / old price
- So the FG Preliminary cost estimate will not match with its Std Cost
- Moreover inventory valuation may vary if std cost est is not up to date
- The Valuatin variant specified in the Costing variant actual of the PCC is used to valuate the data confirmed for the mfg order.
- This costing variant results in a temporary prelim cost est for the mfg order. This preliminary cost estimate cannot be saved.
Integration with Mfg Order:-
If you have specified in the order type of your mfg orders that the costs should be collected on a PCC rather than on the mfg order, the system creates a link to the PCC when you create a mfg order for the corresponding combination of characteristics (such as material / plant / production version). The mfg order receives the status PCC (product cost collector). This status prevents costs from being allocated to the manufacturing order.
The above might give you some lead.

Abolish product cost collector for production order

Dear Experts,
we use for some production order types the product cost collector. Now we plan to abolish them and change the settlement for production order. Which things do we have to pay attention? Do we have to finish our running production orders first or is it possible to change customizing during running production process. Thanks for your hepl!
Best regards
Steffen

Hi Ajay,
thank you for your answer.
We have tested two variants:
1. new order type, so we can process two separate settlements, for orders with PCC and the new orders without PCC. After archiving of all prodorders with pcc, archiving of pcc it should be possible to switch back to old order type.
2. change customizing without finishing existing orders, settlement for existing orders, all orders which already have been processed will be settled by pcc (status pcc usage in order header) We have not be seen any strange system behavior.
We use the pcc collector for different order types in different plants and want to abolish plant by plant. In this time the pcc will still be customized/exists.
Best regards
Steffen

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?

REM - Cost Collector Settlement and transfer order price

Hi,
My client is using REM. They create planned orders in their distribution centre and through special procurement manufacture the orders in a seperate manufacturing site. There is no stock transport orders the goods are manufactured in the production facility and recieved into stock in the distribution centre during backflushing.
The cost collector is set up for the planning site so that once the planned orders are settled the moving average price of the finished product is updated in the distribution centre.
My client wishes to add a 'transfer price' at order settlement so that the moving average price in the distribution centre is updated with the new moving average price + the transfer price during settlement.
Is this possible using transfer pricing functionality??? How is it implemented?

Hi,
If this indicator is turned on, the costs are collected on a product cost collector. In this case you use the functionality of Product Cost by Period. In this case you calculate the work in process and variances by period
If this indicator is not turned on, the costs are collected directly on the manufacturing order. In this case you use the functionality of Product Cost by Order.In this case you calculate the work in process and variances by lot.
Cost Collector will be used in conjunction with the distribution rule - PP2 periodic settlement.
In discrete , if you split the order you have to use the cost collector indicator and the PP2 periodic settlement rule.

Sheik
