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.

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!problem due to system bug, have to log to OSS for help.

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.
Because march 5 onwards scn has stopped awarding points to liked content.

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 flushingDear 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.

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

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 ?Built a Z-Report

Use of Product cost collector in REM
Hi All,
I am new to PP module, I got some doubts when working on costing of the product.
1. In REM scenario why do we need an extra step of creating product cost collector ??
2. when a product is produced will the prod cost collector is used for both debiting(raw and semi) and crediting(finished prod) ?Dear Reddy,
1.Product cost collector is the cost collecting object for a period based production or in a REM - repetitive manufacturing
scenario.
2.Without having any product cost collector you cannot carryout production confirmation(assembly backflush) for a product.
3.So for all the products for which production confirmation will be declared requires a individual product cost collector.
4.Prior to this you require a production version for the material.
5.Production version and a product cost collector is also the master data for a REM scenario.
Now check and revert back.

How to see materials which donot comes under product cost collector
hello every body,
can any one help me in finding materials which donot comes under product cost collector.
thanks for all the people who are supporting me
regards,
Bh.krishna mohanDear Krishna,
1.Usally the product cost collectors will be maintained for the materials which are executed using a REM scenario.
2.Check in table MARC for the materials for which REM profile does not exists(means this field should be empty) for a given plant.
3.After executing download this and if needed pass it to MARA table to get the FERT and HALB materials.
4.So only those materials for which REM profile is empty ,the product cost collector does not exists.
Check and revert with your queries.

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.
ThanksThank 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

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 runDear 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
DawnHi 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.

REM Product cost collectors and Production version
Hi All,
Can some one pls let me know
What are the product cost collectors in REM and how to create the product cost collectors ?
What is the production version and the difference between production version and controlling version?
Thanks & Regards,
BujjiDear Bujji,
A product cost collector is a cost object in Product Cost by Period that collects the periodic actual costs incurred in the production of a material. It can be created in txn KKF6N.
[Product Cosr Collector|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/EN/08/77ba810a1611d3a6b900104b55d538/frameset.htm]
[Product Cost Collectors: Collective Entry for Repetitive Manufacturing |http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/EN/08/77ba810a1611d3a6b900104b55d538/frameset.htm]
A production version determines the various production techniques that can be used to produce a material. It defines the following information:
Alternative BOM for a BOM explosion
Task list type, task list group, and group counter for assignment to task lists
Lot-size restrictions and period of validity
A material can have one or more production versions.
It can be defined in the Material Master (txn MM02) in one of the following views:
MRP 4
Work Scheduling
Costing 1
The costing version is a different issue. It is a costing parameter and is used to save several cost estimates for the same material, with the same costing variant and the same costing date (e.g. in oder to cost the material several times with minor changes without creating new costing variants).
