Product cost component

Hello all,
I am trying to create a report painter report which dsiplays all the cost components on the columns and materials along the rows. I have chosen structure KKBE library 7EE to accomplisg the task. However I cannot come up witht the report I want to.
I have started doubting if the table and library even provides with the capability to achieve a report of such nature.
Please advice me whether the library and structure that I am using is right? if not what is the best structure that can be used??
What kind of reports can I make using structure KKBE?
I have been suggested that ABAP report is the best option that we have. Can you please confirm that for me?
I want to know what reason should I put before the management to effectively convince them that report Painter dosen't possess the capability and that ABAP needs to be used? (If that is truely the case)
Points will be duely assigned for all helpfull answers.
Thanks,
NIK

I tried defining the report however this is the error message I get when I try and execute the report.
Can someone please advise on how to fix this probs. Above all, please explain in plain english what the message is all about.
"Report contains more than one report object"
Message no. KN089
Diagnosis
The report is for more than one report object. This causes performance problems. This is not supportedc in product costing in particular.
Can't really understand what that means?
Also can you tell me what characteristics do I need to pull to define the column for cost component lets say "Direct Depreciation". If you can tell me for 1 cost comp I can emulate the info to define the rest of the columns for diff cost comp.
thanks

  • Depreciation as product cost component

    Hi Gurus/Experts,
    My client charges Rs.100/ton depreciation in the manufacturing plant. They want to see this tonnage based depreciation as a cost component. Can you kindly guide me how to make the configuration for the same?

  • Actual Cost Component Split for cross company code transfers.

    Hi,
    My issue is as follows.
    Production process spans across 2 company codes.
    Goods are produced in production company code, transferred (via stock transport order) to marketing company code and sold to customers from marketing company code.
    Stock transport order follows sales scenario i.e.. marketing company code creates purchase order for goods from production company code and production company code bills marketing for the goods.
    Actual costing / Material ledger is implemented in both company codes.
    We would like to roll-up (transfer) actual cost component split from production company code to marketing company (in a similar way as in product cost planning in cross-company scenario).
    However, due to the fact that the transfer between the companies is in fact a "sales" the goods in marketing company code are seen as externally purchased and the only cost component we can create is based on PO conditions. But we want to get the info about production cost component split.
    Once again this is for ACTUAL cost component split.
    I would be grateful for any ideas.
    Thanks,

    Hi Udo / Szymon.
    I have a question about this issue.
    In the sap help  about multiple valuations / group costing:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/7e/cb848443a311d189ee0000e81ddfac/content.htm
    Its not clear if this can roll up the Actual CCS? or what it do? My question is because i read the documentation of  bussiness function: LOG_MM_SIT,and also the book *Actual Costing with The SAP Material Ledger*
    states that we can handle the rollup of actual cost component split inter-company only with this BF active.
    Could you clarify about this?
    thanks!!
    Arturo.
    Group Valuation
    Goods movements between affiliated companies not involving intercompany profits are processed using the group view. This view determines the actual cost of goods manufactured for the group, and does not include any intercompany profits. You can, however, display internal profits as delta profits in the legal and/or profit center views.
    When you define cost components, you can specify that internal profits between company codes and/or profit centers are shown in detail in the cost component split. You activate these delta profits for the group valuation in the attributes of the cost components.
    For each cost component structure, there can only be one cost component under which the delta profit is shown. This means that neither the legal view nor the profit center view can have more than one cost component for the delta profit.
    To cost multiple values, you define a costing type for each valuation approach in Customizing for Product Cost Planning. You use the costing type to specify which valuation approach you require. You define each costing type in a new costing variant and carry out a cost estimate with this costing variant.
    Group Costing and Multiple Valuation Approaches
    In-Depth Detail of the Value-Added Chain: Partner Cost Component Split
    You can display in detail the costs of materials and services of every company department in the value-added chain for every stage of the production process. The partner can be traced for every material used. To do this, you define a partner version, which enables the value-added portions of each manufacturing level to be displayed in detail. For further information about this, see Partners and Direct Partners.
    The group cost component split can be displayed according to your partner definition. You can display the cost structures of the partners hierarchically according to your requirements, such as the company code segments on the highest level and the plant or profit center segments underneath.
    To display partner cost component splits, define a partner version in Customizing and enter it in the costing type.

  • PRODUCT COSTING ACTIVITIES AS THE PP WILL BE IMPLEMENTED IN 2ND PHASE

    Solution for CO without PP module.
    As planned, PP module will be implemented in the second phase. And we need to have solution to manage: finished good, production of Zee in first phase.
    About production of Zee.
    Zee has many subcompanies, but there are only 3 company that implemented SAP system: Zee corp, Zeetech, Zee M&E. ( Zee corp is parent company of Zeetech, Zee M&E).
    There is only Zeetech that has production.
    Products of Zeetech: air condition, chilled water fanu2026Zeetech have many workshops.
    Zeetech do many batch each of month, and there are many kind of products in each of batch.
    We used Moving price for Zee on SAP system.
    We intend to use u201Cproduction orderu201D to capture all cost related to product,
    Cost component of product:
    +raw material
    + labor cost
    + overhead cost of workshop: other costs
    + overhead cost of batch: fuel, submaterial,
    +  operation cost.
    HOW SHOULD WE TAKE CARE OF PRODUCT COSTING ACTIVITIES AS THE PP WILL BE IMPLEMENTED IN SECOND PHASE ?

    Dear Anita,
    Yes u r right that Each consultant will be prepare AS-IS & TO-BE documents for their respective modules but these BBP's are not mixed up.
    The rules of each consultant in phase 2 i e Business Blue Prints is to created bbp's or say Document which is going to configure in the SAP system along with core users.
    AS - IS means what futures client's are using in the Legacy System
    TO- BE mean what futures we are giving to client according to thier Legacy System
    Hope u will Undersatnd.

  • Cost component split: incorrect allocation of by-product generated

    Hi everyone,
    I have a question involving the costs of by-products generated and their allocation on the cost component split.
    Suppose that a production order, besides the main product, also generates a secondary product. By-products in standard system are confirmed with movement type 531. In transaction OMJJ this movement is linked to key GBB / ZOF. This key is assigned to a G/L account and this account is assigned to a cost element in OKTZ.
    Example:
    GBB / ZOF > G/L account 1000 > Cost component 10
    Thus, the by-product generated should be allocated to the cost component number 10.
    However, this does not happen. These costs are allocated to another cost component. This is because SAP ERP appears to use the key GBB / VBR to calculate the cost component split.
    To summarize: for accounting purposes the system uses the GBB / ZOF (which is correct!), but in the cost component structure the system seems to use the GBB / VBR (which makes the costs of by-product being incorrectly assigned).
    GBB / ZOF > G/L account 1000 > Cost component 10 (used ONLY for accounting purposes).
    GBB / VBR > G/L account 2000 > Cost component 20 (it seems to be used in cost component split). INCORRECT!
    Can anyone confirm whether that statement proceeds?
    Regards,
    Kelson

    Hi
    This behaviour is corect.... Consumption accounts are used in Cost Comp Str (CCS)
    GBB-ZOF is actualy sort of COGM accounts specified in GBB-AUF which is used to Credit the order at the time of GR from prod order
    Just the way, AUF is not used in CCS, ZOF is also not used...
    You need to maintain separate account in GBB-VBR for the consumption of By Products... For this, the val class of By products need to be separate
    Else, if yu dont wanna do this - have a separate Origin Group in the Mat Master of By products and You can assign the Combo of GL Account + Origin Group to a separate Cost Component

  • Cost Component Splitting in Joint Production

    Hello.
    I meet a trouble in the cost component splitting for the co-product.
    I tried to creat a BOM like :
                                 A                       B
                                  C (CCS1)           D(CCS2)
    the raw material C&D are in different cost component,and the manufacturing matertials are A&B.
    and I set the apportionment structure like A(CCS1 100%,CCS2 50%)   B(CCS1 0%, CCS2 50%)
    Then i run the CK11N,and the result is correct.
    But the problem is as following:
    when I creat a BOM like :
                                 A                       B
                                              E
                                  C (CCS1)          D(CCS2)
    the raw material C&D are in different cost component,and the semi-product matertial is E,then E is producted for finished product A&B.
    and I set the apportionment structure like A(CCS1 100%,CCS2 50%)   B(CCS1 0%, CCS2 50%)
    then i run the CK11N,and the result is wrong.

  • Negative Material cost in cost component of the Product

    Hi,
    We are in ECC 6.0 and using Material Ledegr and Actual Costing. We have cost component structure - Material cost, Packing cost, Overheads, etc. The total cost of the product is positive. However, at the cost component level Material cost shwoing as negative.
    e.g.
    Material-Cost      (-10.00)
    Packing-Cost          0.00
    Overheads        40.00
    Total cost         30.00
    It seems the negative Material cost is coming from Lower levels. I have checked this in T-code CKM3N and in Table CKMLCR/CKMLKEPH. There are no reversal of material movements.
    Will you share your views on this issue for how to identify the root cause and take preventive action?
    Thanks & Regards,
    ADI

    Hi ADI,
    The note 671767 explains possible root causes of negative cost
    components. They are usually caused by:
    1.  Negative cost components due to by-products
    2.  Negative cost components due to WIP problems

  • Product Costing: Actual Cost by Component

    Hi SAP Gurus,
    Products are manufactured in plant X, and have all the standard cost components (MP, DL, FOH, etc.) that one would expect of internally-manufactured skus. Traditionally, these products were shipped from Plant X to Plant Y and then to Plant Z. Once sold out of Plant Z, the actual Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) in the system likewise includes costs for MP, DL, FOH, etc.
    However, last year we started also selling product directly from Plant Y. On Looking in ZCO_ACTUAL_COST(Actual Cost by Component), we see that, when sold, a given SKU is treated as a purchased finished good. That is, all of the standard costs & variances associated with the sku are aggregated into Purchased Finished Goods, a materials account. Because SAPu2019s actual cost has zero for all other line items (i.e. DL + FOH), the system generates favorable variances that eliminate these standard costs.
    Please note that the issue is not standards (which appear to be fine) but actual cost allocation upon sale of the product.
    Summary : The issue is that product sold out of Plant Y is incorrectly treated as a purchased finished good, instead of as an internally manufactured item.This is an issue because our materials costs are then overstated and other costs are understated
    How to show the product sold from Plant Y as internally manufactured Item. (with Cost Components M+P, DL.FOH etc) like how it was showing for product sold from Plant Z?
    Regards
    Jaswanth

    Hi Ajay,
    In the material master for the material, I verified that the Price control is set as S( Std price) for both the Plant Y and Plant Z.
    And the issue here is with the Actual Cost component and not the Std cost component. Can you please clarify where in MRP view for Plant Ywe need to set the indicator as transferred from Plant X.
    Also I verified that the valuation class for Plant Y and Plant Z is different, ( For Plant Y it is set as Mfg Fin goods and for Plant Z it is set as Purchased Fin goods). Is the Actual cost component split has any relation with this Val class setup.
    This is how the Actual Cost component looks
    Mat No   Plant   Raw Mat  Packaging Mats  Pur Fin Goods  Direct Labour  FOH
       A          Z         XX              XX                     XX                         XX            XX
       A          Y           0                 0                     XX                          0                0
    All the cost for Plant Y is rolled to Pur fin goods.
    Kindly give your inputs

  • Product Costing - Standard Cost Component Split on Multi Level BOM's

    Hi,
    We are the process of introducing SAP for all back office and manufacturing activities.
    I am currently trying to verify that the product cost calculation for Multi-Level BOMs in our Legacy system matches the cost roll up or cost estimate in SAP at not only a Total Cost Level but the cost component split must be accurate also. So far, all the costs roll up correctly at a total cost level but I have noticed one issue:
    When I run a cost estimate for a single level BOM the cost estimate will split the components accurately into Material, Labor, Fixed Overhead and Variable overhead, However, when this component is then used in the next level of manufacturing all the Labor, Fixed Overhead and Variable Overhead Cost is grouped under Material.
    Q1.) Is there a SAP setting or config change that will keep the previous Labor, Fixed OH and Variable OH cost in these categories as the material is rolled up to finished product level?
    Q2.) Is there a standard report / view where I can see the Finished Goods Standard Cost split by each of there rolled up Components? This would need to split the Total Material, Total Labor, Total Fixed OH and Total VO required to make the Finished Product. 
    Q3.) Is there a standard report / view where I can see the added value (Absorption) by component split (Labor, Fixed OH, Variable OH) for every Manufactured Part?
    Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi,
    Here I am providing the necessity and importance of splitting structure, will share the configuration steps once you go through the following and get the comfort level.
                        Expense Analysis and Splitting in Manufacturing Cost Centers
    Introduction In SAP Cost center work as a cost responsibility center, where all the expenses and cost are stored and analyzed for the purpose of management decision making.
    The cost could be fixed or variable in nature. The difference between variable and fixed costs can be made in various ways in product costing in CO module.
    Fixed costs represent the static costs incurred by the organization, which doesn’t change on the basis on manufacturing activities, which remain constant irrespective of production activities like rent for the premises, salaries of office staff etc.
    On the other hand, variable cost varies based on the level of production activities; if production activities increase then variable cost also increased like electricity consumes raw material charges etc.
    However all the variable cost doesn’t vary in direct proportion by quantity of goods produced.
    In this document will try to define; how the Expenses analysis and splitting of cost done in manufacturing cost centers.
    From controlling prospective, fixed cost remain constant regardless of operating activities, but if these factor changes, variable cost will fluctuate.
    Basically raw material costs represent variable cost, but in this document main focused will be given to distinguish fixed and variable activity cost.
    The segregation between fixed and variable cost is optional and is derived from the configuration and master data configured in cost center accounting and overhead accounting.
    Activity Price:
    There are different methods that could be used in cost center accounting to determine the activity price. The simple way is the manually enter “Fixed” and “Variable” Activity cost (KP26).
    However there are other methods used in Cost center Planning and Budgeting that automatically calculate the fixed and variable activity price.
    Here the focused will be given on Planning and Budgeting activity and automatic calculation of plan activity rate in cost center.
    This method aggregate planned costs by cost element and capacity by plan unit to calculate the activity price.
    Activity independent costs are segregated among different activities based on Splitting Structure, while activity dependent cost directly used for the purpose of variable activity rate calculation.   
    Fixed Activity Cost:
    In product costing all those cost, which doesn’t vary based on the activities in manufacturing cost will represent fixed cost.
    In a manufacturing cost centers there may be two or more activities performed.
    To calculate the activities rate, the fixed costs are distributed to various activities on the basis of Splitting Structure defined for cost center.  
    Variable Activity Cost:
    Variable activity cost, which directly depend upon the activity type and fluctuate based on increase or decrease in manufacturing activities. In SAP variable activity cost are directly linked to the respective activity.
    Activity Prices: Fixed and Variable Split
    In Cost Center Accounting dividing the cost between Fixed and Variable requires appropriate split to be made in the cost entered for the activity. The process is described below:
    i.  Variable cost would be planned at activity level and expenses should be maintained at cost element in the manufacturing cost center by assigning activity and cost element combination.
    In other word, the expenses should be planned on Activity type at the time of primary cost planning (KP06).
    Then the variable activity rates are calculated on Total cost planned at Activity divided by Total number of activity planned at that cost center (i.e. capacity in KP26)
    ii. Fixed cost would be planned at independent of activity type. These costs are maintained in KP06 at cost element level on manufacturing cost center.
    Then the fixed costs are distributed on various activity types on the basis of Splitting structure defined at OKEW.
    In Splitting Structure we define the rules, how the fixed cost will be distributed to Activities. For the purpose of this document, considering split of fixed cost on the basis of Capacity maintained in KP26.

  • Product Costing:External Processing

    Hi Gurus,
    My doubt is I am comparing standard cost estimates of production client with another client which is its copy. The product cost estimate of a material, the cost component 'External Processing' is showing value 700 in PN client and 1000 in the New client. The cost element for 'External Processing is 700000000H as primary cost element and another as secondary cost element. I tried checking the GL account report in FBL3N regarding the postings happened in the GL accounts.
    1. My question is why there is a variation of 700(of PN client) and 1000(in NEW client).
    2. The second question is, from where these values are flowing.How we can trace back the flow of values for this particular cost component of External Processing' of a material cost estimate?
    Is it anyway related with Exchange Rate differences? If so, how and where it is linked?
    I'll be really grateful for your answers.
    Looking forward for you reply soon.
    Thanks,
    Prithwi.

    Hi,
    I have checked the valuation variant 001. The startegy sequence is same only. There's no change in configuration settings as the new client is copy of production client only.
    I wanted to know, the 'External processing' data or values from which.postings. How it gets picked up and how we can check its origin?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Product Costing  - Message CK 318 ()

    Hi Experts,
    While executing product cost calculation for material YYY we had warning message CK318 - Cost estimate for material XXX contains errors -> Planned price). XXX is a component used in YYY and the message was issued because we did not have price for XXX. We are now able to proceed with standard cost release for YYY.
    As I remembered previously, if you have an error in lower level, the higher level material would have been costed with error too. Seems that this is no longer the case. 
    I am not sure if this has changed in standard system in ECC 6 or we have to change message control for this message from Warning (W) to Error (E) but it seems the system reaction is not logical to me.
    Thanks for shedding insights into this.

    HI Teck,
    Can you go to OKKN, and quantity structure tab and check out the 'transfer active std cost meates if material costed with errors check box?

    Check following points,
    Probably material might be split valuated,Check price is maintained for all valuation types including header in MM60.
    Check price is maintained in info record.
    Check type of procurement in MRP2,it will be external procurement - F.
    Do product cost estimate using KKF6N.
    Check production version is maintained in MRP4 ?
    Check throughly all masters vendor,info record & material master.
    It will solve the issue.

  • Primary cost component split not happening

    Hello Experts,
    I am trying to create a Primary cost component split for Products with following settings
    1. Creation of Primary cost component structure "1N" and marking it as Primary cost component
    2. Assigning the Primary cost elements to the Cost component structure
    3. Assigning the Primary cost component structure for the Company code and Plant
    4. Assigning the Primary cost component structure to "Version" under "Price calculation" tab.
    5. Activity type with Activity type category "1- Manual entry, Manual allocation" and Price Indicator "1 - Plan price, automatically based on activity"
    6. Activity output planning for Cost center
    7. Primary cost planning for the Cost centers
    8. Activity price calculation. (Update run) - Prices are changed in KP26 also
    9. After all the above steps I checked report S_ALR_87013644, Plan price is existing in the report as mentioned in SAP note: 1658589
    After all the above steps, I tried running Cost estimate for a product. I am getting the error message
    Cost element 90001 is not assigned to a cost component
    Message no. CK239
    Also, I am getting a message
    No structure could be determined for internal activity TEB (M0001)
    Message no. CK694
    Therefore the Cost component is showing only the Material component.
    Where "90001" is a secondary cost element. I am not sure why system is still searching for Secondary cost element where we have assigned Primary cost component structure. I also ensured that Primary cost elements used in planning are all assigned to a Component in Cost component structure.
    I checked for SAP note "1736332", which is not applicable for my system version. Current version of SAP_APPL is  Release 606 and Support package SAPKH60607.
    Please help. Am I missing any settings.
    Thank you in advance.
    Muneer Ahamed N

    Hi Muneer,
    Please check whether you have maintained cost center splitting structure properly and assigned to the respective cost center for which you have maintained output planning and input planning.
    This splitting structure is much required because there only we maintain the relationship between primary cost elements and activities.
    Coming to your first message, yes system expects maintenance of secondary cost elements also in the cost component structure which is not primary CCS.
    Inorder to show primary cost component structure view:
    First, system calculates the direct activity cost in terms of secondary cost elements...
    Next, it verifies the cost center splitting structure you made,
    Then, system is going to convert the direct activity cost in terms of primary cost elements based on the splitting structure and Finally displays the primary cost component view
    I suppose second message speaking about cost center splitting structure only, please go through it carefully
    Other than these whatever the process you specified is right only..
    Regards...
    Jose
