Product cost or Product unit cost

Hi,
Does anyone know if there is any standard content for product cost or Product unit cost? Please let me know. I don't know under which area this belongs to ie SD, MM....etc.
thanks
Sabrina.

Hi Sabrina,
You can evaluate CO-PC datasources in your R/3 system and the corresponding sources, objects etc. in BC.
Also you may look at Product Cost Controlling Analyses at BI best practice:

Simulation Costing / Unit costing / Product cost estimation

Hi;
Can somebody tell me more about unit costing i.e. estimation ??
Process is as follows;
Creation of quotation -
Create BOM according to customer specifications--attach it to material for which quotation created--take costing rungo to unit costing---- all data will be copied to unit cost estimate------change manually in estimation sheet as per estimator requirement- save it. -
cost will update pricing of quotation.
But now my problem is BOM explosion at unit costing sheet is first level only but I need all materials of every level of BOM.
How to get all materials in unit costing sheet Pl. let me know?????????
Thanks in advance!!!

Jason - have another look -
The cost estimate nuber that links MBEW to KEKO and then KEPH does not change - I just checke the 10 year histoy of one number, there are bom and routing changes, different versions and recently, different valuation variants. all of them use the cost estimate number that is located in MBEW
The distinctive uniqueness of a cost estimate is the combination of: Reference Obj.; ProdCostEst.No.; Costing Type; Costing Date; Costing Version; Valuation Variant; Additive Costs
CKIS uses the same key with the addition of Ledter and item number,

PS - Jason- thank you for your comment -- and forcing me to review this data - - I believe that I have just solved a high priority reporting issue - I hadn't noticed (or bothered to look at) the TRANSFER Co Estimate no - Thank you very much for pushing the think past the usual "here's the answer."

Unit costing for materials assigned to activity - for material cost plannin

The requirement is that material cost to the company will vary depending upon the project/customer. Eg.: Material cost = basic material cost + a % for P&F + 2 % for Clearance + a % for excise + 2 % for insurance + a % for Customs
It can be a % or a lump-sum value. It can be all the components listed or part of them. This will be project specific.
Hence the following preference for material cost planning is required:
1. Material cost based on quotation or Purchase order - If quote/PO is not available, then
2.Material cost based on unit costing done for the material in the project - If this is not available, then
3. material cost from material master depending on price indicator i.e. Std cost or Moving average price
We are working with valuated project stock.
SAP Help says"
"Prices are calculated in one of the following ways:
u2022     Using the strategy in the valuation variant
u2022     Manually, using the invoicing plan
u2022     Using unit costing"
But how to get the cost as per the priority required when these three options are there is not clear.
I have tried to work with valuation variant in the costing variant assigned to Network. No valuation strategy explicitly refers to unit costing of material.
During various testings, at times, unit costing of material gets updated as planned cost; at times not. What triggers in also not clear.
Pl. clarify
Thanks and regards

Hi All
I have psoted to service market place and got the reply; we have implemented also.
there were 2 suggestiosn:
1. Valuation price with user exit - (EXIT_SAPLCK21_002) - This user exit has to be implemented; we have implemented - it is working. But this is taking effect when overhead calculation is done - this we rae managing that way now
2. Alternatively you can try to use BAdI VALUATION_CK.: This BADI is not editable by us now; SAP has not released for our editing!
The problem is solved although
There is one more clarification required:
As SAP Help documentation: -> Unit costing is used instead of strategy sequence, but not in between steps of strategy.
How to get this done ? right now we are using the strategy - inbetween steps of strategy with user exit
Thanks and regards

Updating Unit Cost by using Actual Cost Adjustments

Hi,
How can we adjust Unit Cost by using Actual Cost Adjustments Window?
By giving Cost Adjustment without giving Adjustment Qty, the amount was adjusted to total quantity (transacted during the period). But I want to increase unit cost by a fixed amount. Is there any option?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ram

Hi Ram,
there are some patches released by oracle 5-6 months back(5003789 and 4735489) having this feature.
There is also a meatalink note is available,expalins this cost adjustment type called Unit Cost Adjustment.This is the way it works.....
The Actual Cost process now supports this new adjustment type where you adjust
the actual unit cost of the item with the specified cost. The Actual Cost process
calculates the cost of the item per the current logic and then applies this unit cost
adjustment to calculate the new adjusted cost. This adjusted cost becomes the new actual cost of the item.First the New Unit Cost (without the Unit Cost Adjustment) is calculated.The Unit Cost Adjustment is included only after the Actual Cost is calculated based on the existing Adjustment types. Then, the New Unit Cost (with the Unit CostAdjustment) is calculated.
Hope this helps...

How to allocate external process cost on the units of Production order

Hi Gurus,
I am facing a cost allocation issue.
The scenario is a make-to-stock scenario in discrete manufacturing industry. I am using production order (PP01) and confirming the material issued to production and operations manually. There is an electrical cost incurred by the client. The total cost of electricity is allocated on the number of units that comes out from the production. Say, total electrical cost is 1000, number of units produced using the production order is 100, then per unit is charged 10 (1000/100).
Can anyone help me how can I perform the cost allocation? Should I go for an activity type in work center OR should I use the cost sheet. Kindly help me.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi
activity type would be better choice...

Difference between sale order Costing & Standard Product Costing

Hi experts
I wanted to know Importance of Sales Order Costing & standard Product Costing.what are the benefits of these.
Regards
Sandeep patil

Dear Sir,
we are implementing SAP in packing industry. In packing industry in PP Bill of material is frequently change, for this we are implementing sales order costing.
We are doing the following things,
1. we are doing the inquiry at that time we are doing unit costing.
2. On the basis of inquiry we are preparing the quotation. the unit costing done in inquiry flow to the Quotation because we r preparing the quotation with reference to inquiry.
3. Similarly we are preparing the sales order based on quoation and unit costing data flows.
4. Now when we run the MRP it doesnot explode the unit costing material requirement.
Please tell us how the unit costing material data will flow to MRP run.
Please reply.

ADDDITIVE COST FOR PRODUCT COST BY SALES ORDER SCENARIO.

Dear friends,
We are using costing for sales order & we have maintained the costing variant under the path IMG> Controlling> Product Cost Controlling> cost object controlling> Product cost by sales order >premliminary costing & order based costing>product costing for sales order costing>Costing variant for Product costing >Check costing variant for product costing.
Under this we have maintained the Costing variant, Now we need to have Additive cost. But didnt found the tab in the costing variant where as when we check in T.code OKKN which is a part of Product cost planning we can find the Additive cost tab.
How to run addtive costing run for Product cost by sales order scenario & please guide me with one example.
Or else is there any configuration where we can assign standard costing variant PPC1 instead of Costing variant SOC1 ( which is a costing variant of Product cost by sales order.
Please guide me
regards,
Sandeep

Hi Sandeep,
You may please try using Unit Costing for Sale Order.
It is over an above the sale order costing you have done. So in case you want to post any additional known cost, you may do the unit costing for the sale order after the sale order costing.
Trust this helps

Material costed, production order with no target cost

I've a case of production order and I don't where to find information to solve it.
I've a product A costed from March. Standard cost is correct.
I'm creating a production order now. The cost estimate is calculated during the delivery.
I've confirmed order by CO15. I've created a variance by deleting 2 items in bom of order. And confirm less than wanted on other component. But I don't think these variances are linked to my problem.
In CO02 and cost analysis : target cost of my product equals 0.
I've checked my prod cost variant and choices are : std price, L price from PIR, moving average price.
Thanks for your helps
Christophe

How can I see that ? I've checked that material cost has taken the bom during the cost explosion. Components are also costed.
I've noticed that target cost appears after variance calculation for product.

Sales order - show total plan costs (from production order) on sales order

Hi all,
I have the following question/scenario:
We create prodction order to collect cost (hours) for a service. There exists also a material master for this service.
The confirmed hours are posted on the production order and then setteld to the respective sales order (settlement rule SDI).
What to I have to maintain/customize to show the total plan cost (for the service) on gthe sales order?
If I check the sales order via VA03 --> environment --> cost report , I can see the planned sales revenue but no planned costs?
(the actual value flows work so far, postings via settlement or billing document).
I hope the topic is understandable. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Planned costs from prod order can not show on sale order.. Both are 2 separate entities in their own respects
Unless you calculate sales order cost estimate on your sales order, you cant see planned costs on sale order...
To calculate sale order cost estimate, make settings in your requirement class...
1. Go to procurement tab of sale order
2. See whats the requirement type
3. Go to IMG > Controlling > Prod cost Contr > Cost Obj Contr > Prod Cost by Sales Order > Control of Requirements
4. Here you can see mapping of req type to req class....
5. If you want to have sales order costing and have sales order as CO object inorder to have sales order wise profitability, you should have following settings in Req class...
>Acct Assignment Category should be E
>Costing: Either Blank or X
>Costing Id and Costing Method: As per your requirement

Actual cost of Production Order settled to Fixed Assets

Dear all,
My client is doing in-house production of moulds (internal order suggestion is not accepted by the client) for which
they have the following
1. BOM
2. Machine hour
3. labour
4. overhead etc
5.plan value
6. actual value
Can i settle the actual cost of production order to Fixed Asset ?
If yes
what are process kindly give me if any process other then the below
1.production order created
2. settlement profile - FA is settlement optional
3. allocation structure
4. Asset created
5 define asset in settlement rule
Kindly give me your valuable input
regards
elango

Hi,
Although i am not CO expert , please check with your FICO consultant who are expert before make the final call.
During settlement to a G/L account or a fixed asset, the system ignores additional account assignments that were manually specified in the distribution rule.
Based on what i know .
you can stipulate that settlement may be made to cost centers and orders, but not to fixed assets.
The Settlement profile is something that you need to create a settlement rule to settle the actual costs of a sender object.
About the Settlement rule is something that contains the distribution rules for the sender. It will define how the way to settle the cost.
Allocation Structure
In the settlement structure you combine the primary and secondary cost elements into groups, in which debits are then posted to the sender objects. For each group, you specify whether (for settlement to a given receiver type) settlement is performed
by cost element or using a settlement cost element.
For example, you might use settlement cost elements:
To document the purpose of an order (such as, repairs or maintenance)
To reduce data volumes (you can combine a number of debit cost elements
under one settlement cost element).

Actual cost of product in COPA

Dear all,
I am relatively new to COPA functionality.
The requirement is that actual cost of product should be reflected in COPA and not the planned.
Kindly give me the background also, as in the integration of COPC and COPA.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Sudhakar is completely right in his comments. But, I would not just accept that actual costing is not active, so you have to find a solution without it. Your requirement is a good reason to activate actal costing, and calls for it.
The way SAP foresees to bring actual costs into CO-PA would be:
Activate material ledger / actual costing
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/a5/320e28d56c11d295c200a0c930328a/frameset.htm]
Calculate periodical actual prodcut costs at period end
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/ec/f835d7f08311d185810000e8a4bacc/frameset.htm]
Revalue CO-PA at actual costs with KE27
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/f5/0f0739edfcb03ae10000000a11402f/frameset.htm]
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/7a/4c39be4a0111d1894c0000e829fbbd/frameset.htm]
That brings you a completely integrated and accurate solution for actual product costs in CO-PA
