Product Costing in Previous Month

Hi Experts,
Actually we are using repetitive manufacting in our company, and we run the costing on every 1st day of the month, sothat we can book the production during entire month.
Now our management want to run the costing on 28th of previous month. Means for Production starting from 1st Jan 2012, we have to use the costing results on 28.01.2011, but system is not allowing to book the prodction in our system untill we run costing on 01.01.2012. Means we don't want to run the costing on 01.01.2012, but for Jan 2012, we will run the costing on 28.12.2011 and for feb production we will run the costing on 28.01.2012
How can I achive this, please suggest me urgently.
Regards
Ishu

Hello Ishu
Check the costing variant you are using. In customisation for costing variant OKKN check the date control. In the date control configuration select cost date from as Start of next posting period and costing date to as end of next posting period.
So when you run the cost estimate this will be effective from 1st of next period.

Delete Costing in Previous Month and Re-release in Previous Month

Hi Experts,
I have a query, actually we have released costing of certain fg's in the month of march 09. One component which is common in all the fg's cost were wrong. hence all the costing of last month were released wrongly. Although we have corrected cost of that component thru MR21 in the current month. Now we want to delete costing of those certain fg's in the month of march and correct that component cost and want to re-release costing on 31.03.2009 date.
Can we do it. If yes, kindly help me out.Full Points to helping answers.
Regards
GR

Hi G R,
It's true what the other folks have already suggested. Though you will be able to delete the Cost Estimate of Previous period (using CKR1 - which is not suggeted basically), you will not be able to run, mark and release for a previous date/period.
It is made not possible to avoid the data inconsistencies. Just imagine the reason and consequences, with the Old Standard Price, all you material transactions have been done and the period is also closed...now if you delete the Cost Estimate and try to re-run, how the system has to take the Inventory Valuation effects?
Hope this is clear, pls revert back for futher explanation...

At the time of cost run CK40N, cost relese in previous month.

Hi,
At the time of cost run CK40N, executing today or previous (05.04.2010). But Cost release in previouse month 31.03.2010.
I tried but system not allowing and saving the varient in previous period(31.03.2010).
Please provide solution and little biturgent.If any clarifiaction ask i will explain in detail.

Hi Sreekanth,
We also faced the same issue with CK40N costing in previous month. What happened is that during testing in quality the new month started and the system is not allowing back date release. So we have to now open and close periods in MMPV and OB52 which is not possible because MM postings are pending. So the new costing release has to be carried after opening and closing of periods.

Remaining balance on production cost centers - GBB AUI

Hi,
I have a problem with over/under absorption on production cost centers after month end closing.
We are using material ledger CKMLCP and actual activity rates from direct cost centers are settled directly to products using GBB AUI account determination.
Unfortunately from time to time there appears a significant balance on production cost centers after running CKMLCP. What might be the reason? I have analysed line items on cost centers but cannot find any answers.
We are using assignment of cost elements to particular activity types (function splitting), and I have checked that all cost elements are assigned to proper activity types.
Best regards,
Karol

Refer to OSS 183250 and note 186485.
If you dont specify in the settlement profile for the production order that the variances are not transferred from the production order into CO-PA, you will settle the variances to <b>CO-PA twice</b>: once from the production order (broken down into variance categories), and once from the sales order item. The settlement rule still references the material and not the sales order item.

You may want to check the period of the variance settlement from mfg order to sales order and ensure the settlement of sales order is also done the same period, if the type is PER.

Hi,
DP90 is used for Resource related billing, is broad term basically when you performing service that time you have to raise billing on the basis of resources which you had spend for perticular service
DP90 is run on the basis of DYNAMIC ITEM PROCESSOR,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_di471/helpdata/en/59/54fc37004d0a1ee10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm
I will tell you one process from the prspective of CS module
Create notification >> Create service order >> Confirm service order >> Resource releted billing (genrates sales document) >> Invoice to customer with refrance to sales document.
Now here DP90 is used to determine material,IN SALES DOCUMENT because CS module don't have billing feature as like SD Billing.
In CS module activities/Operation,but in SD module we speciefy material codes
So DIP determines XYZ activity/operation is ABC material in SD

Previous month cost estimate

Hi,
Cost estimate of One material, which is a Semifinished goods nature is not released for March 09. But the Cost estimate of Finished goods is release in March 09, of which the above said Semifinished goods is part of BOM.
Now please suggest how to do the production in the Semifinished goods without cost estimate or any other way to release the cost estimate for March 09 (Previous month) or any otherway for this problem.
Regards
Prakash.

Hi Bhanu,
First, you check, when you released the Cost Estimate for that Semi-finished Product in the month of February, what was the "Costing Date To"? If it is upto 31.03.9999 (for ex), then there is no problem.
You can make inventory transactions for that Material without any problem.
If it is only upto 28.02.2009, then you can Release the Cost Estimate in the current month.
Try this and get back to me if you face any error.

Standar cost and product cost collector not updating the new price

Hi,
Created Standard cost estimate for one FG product and runned the product cost collector. Based on that consumption delivery everthing is made. Later on the work center and activity type changed in routing. Now i am trying to run the standard cost with new activity price (due to work center change) for the current period, system is showing only the previous rate(previous period) and it is not updating the new price becuase of already we have created the product cost collector.
Can any one give the suggestion for how to update the new price in standard cost as well as new price updation in product cost collector.
govind.

Hi
1. If the original cost estimate was run in the current month - Then you cant re-release cost estimate unless you reverse it from CKR1
If the cost estimate was of previous months - then you can definetely release it again
2. In cost collector, you need to manually cost it again using the Preliminary costing feature... Your cost coll will then show 2 cost estimates i.e. One from Original date to current date-1, and 2nd from Current date to 31.12.9999

Product Costing Periodic Analysis

Hi,
When we run "KKBC_HOE - With Defined Summarization Hierarchy" for a particular period, does SAP take into account only the postings made in that period.
There could be open production orders from previous periods carried over to the period under analysis. How does SAP handle those? Will SAP eliminate the postings made to such production orders in previous periods?
Similary, How does SAP calculate plan costs (both material & activity costs) for the period in analysis.
Thanks,
Ram

Hi Kaarthik,
Thanks for your reply. Still, there is some doubt in the way SAP calculates. I not able to simulate what you suggested as it is not month beginning.
For instance let us say that a production order started in period 1, the planned costs are material-$1000, labor activity-$500. At the end of period 1, the actual costs posted to the order were material-$500, labor $100.
So, when I run the report at the beginning of period 2, (only for this period-not cumulative), what will be the planned costs for this order.
Thanks,
Ram

How to calculate the Current APC (Acquisition and Production Cost)

Hi,
Please help me how to calculate the Current APC.
The Current APC (Acquisition and Production Cost) is a calculated value based on Previous Year Acquisition balance plus any value changes up to the time of the report.
The Asset History Report (RAGITT_ALV01) calculates the Current APC value &
The Current APC can also be found in the Asset Explorer (transaction code AW01N) under Country Book 10/ Posted Values tab then the line Acquisition Value and column Posted values.
I suppose that the calculation of Current APC (Acquisition and Production Cost) is getting done in the GET statements in the report RAGITT_ALV01, but unable to find the actual logic.
Please help me.
Thanks in advance,
Satish

Hi,
you'll find the logic in fm FI_AA_VALUES_CALCULATE

How to find current month, previous month Net Sales by means of formula?

Hello Gurus,
I need my crystal report to display data as below:-
                                        Net Sales
PG1         Current month      Previous Month     Prior year-month    %Variance
Panels      $                          $                          $
Frames
Can anyone kindly suggest formula for generating these values?
I have already formulated current, previous, prior year months' start dates and end dates.
Further details:-
Data filters are requested for Company-->Region-->Customergroup-->All Product group
Datasource is Universe
Reporting for 2 years data
Your suggestions and help will be much appreciate.
Thanks,
Prarthana

hi Prarthana,
there are a couple of different ways of doing this...one way is to create formulae similar to below...
1) formula for current month sales
if month({your date field}) = month(currentdate)
and year({your date field}) = year({your date field})
then {your sales field}
2) formula for previous month sales
if month({your date field}) = month(dateadd("m", -1, currentdate))
and year({your date field}) = year(dateadd("m", -1, currentdate))
then {your sales field}
3) formula for 2 months ago
if month({your date field}) = month(dateadd("m", -2, currentdate))
and year({your date field}) = year(dateadd("m", -2, currentdate))
then {your sales field}
put those formulas on your details sections and then right click on them and choose Insert > Summary and choose Sum as the summary type and change the Summary Location to match the appropriate groups.
cheers,

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.
Teck

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?

Product costing Cycle run for first time to complete backlog

Dear sir,
In my Company we went live in April 2011 and since then we never did settlement of Product costing as process was not stream line , but now (in Aug-2011) it is stream-line and we wanted to do Proper costing Cycle run & settlement too.
Can you please let me know that how to proceed further, what precautions must be taken and whether we have to do settlement for April till July or directly we can go for settlement of last month July-2011.
Please let me know detailed steps,
Thanks & Regards,
Ashutosh

Hi,
Settlement will be done on period basis in you're case June month is closed and now open periods are July and august.
so the production orders can be settled collectively in CO88 for July month.
and for costing run i.e standard cost estimate you need correct BOM and Routing.
after doing settlement of production orders do costing run.
it's not mandatory that settlement should be done. even you can run the costing with out settlement.
costing run will consider the raw material prices ,activity prices sub-contracting price etc..
after considering the above prices after releasing the costing run it will update the actual price in the material master of the header material.
for indual material=CK11N and CK24
Collectively=CK40N
For the materials with Price indicator V(header materials) settlement is important here no cost estimate.
settlement of production order will leads to change the price in the material master. so here no Standard cost estimate..only settlement.
revert me if any issue

Ravi

Product Costing using Moving Average Price of FERT & HALB

Dear Experts,
My client wants to use Product Costing functionality by using Moving Average Price instead of Standard Price on Finished Goods & Semi Finished Goods and as per my understanding, SAP recommends to use Standard Price on FERT & HALB.
I know if we use moving average price instead of standard price than there will be no concept of variances. Can anyone tell me more about what are the pros and cons of using moving average price instead of standard price in Product Costing?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Zain Bashir

Hi Zain
Let's take an example
You have V for Mat A
You create 3 Prod orders in a month
Order 1 - Qty 10 - variance 100
Same for Order 2 and 3..
At month end, you sold 20 pieces and 10 is in stock..
When you settle order 1, system will compare order qty and stock.. It will match I.e. 10 = 10... Hence variance of 100 will be posted on stock
Same will happen for Order 2 and 3... Ideally, only 100 should have posted on stock... but in this case 300 of variance will be posted on stock...
This is what the note mentioned by Arturo tells, but not so clearly
Hope this helps

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
