Product Costing in SAP Retail Solution

Hi experts
I have a question about product costing in SAP Retail (SAP ECC 6.0).
In material master data (Tr. MM43 - Tr. MM42) Product Costing view for Logistics:CD sheet is activated.
Although, for Logistics:Store sheet is not activated.
In customizing, we have tried to activate the Product Costing view for Logistics:Store sheet, but there no standard dynpro to use it. So, we have some doubts:
- Do we have to create customer (Z) dynpros in order to activate Product Costing view for Logistics:Store sheet?
- Does SAP allows Product Costing functionality in SAP Retail solution?
If both answers are YES, i have another doubt:
- In our business scenario, the store is supplied by the Distribution Center. So, does it make sense to run product costing for
a articles in a Store?
We think it makes sense to apply product costing functionality in Distribution center. In order to analyze deviations from
Standard costs to real costs.  But we are not sure about Stores.
Does anyone have experience in customizing product costing functionality for a SAP retail in a Logistics:Store?
Thank you for your time
Regards

hi
Product hierarchy in R3 is termed as Merchandise category hierarchy in SAP IS retail
But in R3 Product hierarchy is not used much but Merchandise category hierarchy that is termed as MCH  is a basic thing reqd for defining master data that is article master data which is nothing but material master in R3
As i said Product hierarchy  levels are available in R3 also but not much used
Merchandise category hierarchy levels is most commonly used in SAP IS retail
What we call material group in R3 is same as Merchandise category in SAP IS retail and material in R3 is article in Retail
Merchandise category hierarchy levels
Say a Retail mall has merchandise items
Under merchandise there are 2 divisions Food and non food
Under nonfood say there are 2 divisions  say hardware and apparel
Under apparel there   2 divisions  say Mens wear and ladies wear
Under mens wear you have t shirts,shirts and pants etc
Here t shirts,shirts and pants etc are individual articles
Menswear  and ladies wear are material groups
Hardware and apparel are merchandise hierarchy level 1
Food and non food merchandise hierarchy level 2
Retail mall is merchandise hierarchy level 3
like that hierarchy levels are commonly defined and used as a must to have efficient master data in SAP retail and the maximum no of hierarchy to have ideally is 6 apart from Merchandise category
In our example we have defined three levels
The same functionality can be used as product hierarchy in R3 also but doesnt been put in to use much
In Retail the no of articles a store is going to manage to be will be huge hence this sort of seggregation is needed there must
For more clarity try to post this in retail forum(Trading industries)

  • Product hierarcy in SAP Retail?

    Hi,
    I have heard that there is a possibility to have more then one product hierarcy in SAP Retail.
    The std hierarcy (created in OVSV) is used for financial follow up but we need the possibility to have another hierercy for presenting the products to the customers in a structured way. I have herad that there are such possibilities in SAP Retail, but I cant find them.
    Pls tell me if it is possible and also how I go about.
    Thanks,
    Emma

    Hi Emma,
    In SAP IS Retail, if you wish to use hierarchy for presenting the products to the customers in a structured way. Then you can use either Article Hierarchy or Merchandise Category Hierarchy.
    The Article Hierarchy in SAP ERP enables customers to structure goods based on customer-individual criteria. It is used in Planning, Operations and Reporting on different levels of aggregation.
    Path:
    Logistics --> Retailing --> Master Data > Article Hierarchy Data> Create           (WMATGRP01)
    Whereas merchandise categories mostly observe physical attributes of the goods the article hierarchy groups articles from a sales perspective.
    Path:
    Logistics --> Retailing --> Master Data --> Material Group Data --> Merchandise Category   (WG21)
    Logistics --> Retailing --> Master Data --> Material Group Data --> Merchandise Category Hierarchy Level    (CLWM)
    Hope it helps.

  • Production cost in SAP

    Hi,
    i have calculated the standard price of product in SAP. but at the end my production cost seems very high and i don't understand why
    this is what i did:
    first i upload the budget in the system in KP06 for the full year
    i upload the quantities of activities in KP26 for the full year also
    then i run the assessment cycle to bring the budget at the level of the "production cost center"
    then i splitted the budget per activity in KSS4, to get the budget of each activity/cost center.
    i calculated the price of activities in KSPI.
    then i run CK40N, to calculate the standard price of the different product.
    but my problem is that:
    why when i make the sum of all the production cost for all the product, i don't find again the initial budget i put in the system?
    thanks for your comments

                 In Genaric Article, we have many variants(by size and color). Can consider variant is Finish Good. The issue now is, my client do Gross Requirement Calculation base on Genaric Article(they compnie all variants) for each production order. It means they 1 production order for all variant in Genaric Article. And base on it they run Gross Requirement Calculation after that go to MRP. When they issue raw material base on production order of Genaric Article. And they also do GR for All variants with same production order, I mention above.
                Please advise me some solution for cover that requirement!

  • Product Costing SAP TABLES

    Dear Gurus ,
        can someone provide me the list of CO Product Costing related SAP TABLES please . Full points will be assigned .
    Regards
    Deepesh

    Deepesh,
    There are many tables / structures used in product costing by SAP. The primary being:
    KEKO - Product Costing - Header Data
    KEPH - Product Costing: Cost Components for Cost of Goods Mfd
    Between these, you should be able to find cost component values for all your materials.
    However, if you are looking at customizing tables, look at TCK*.
    There are still more tables out there - e.g., for costing run (KAL*), for material ledger, for unit costing (CKIS, CKIP, CKKS). Have fun exploring.
    Remember to assign points if found useful.

  • SETTING DELETION FLAG FOR PRODUCT COST COLECTOR:

    Hi Gurus, could you please help me with this question:
    We need to turn off the repetitive mfg
    indicator active for a group of materials. this in order to replace product collectors to production
    orders.
    When I tryed to set the deletion flag for product cost colectors, SAP
    Shows this message :
    "THERE ARE STILL UNSETTLED VARIANCES FOR ORD 710040".
    Cheking Note "421710 - Check report whether "Deletion flag" status can
    be set" I found the program COPC_COSTOBJ_REORGCHECK , this program
    shows that I have Unsettled variances since 2004...
    The order have a settlement rule PER, So I can't settle 2004
    variances.. checking the note 421710, I Found that other way is to turn
    off the field indicator "variance to costing-base PA" in OK07.
    Must I turn off the field "variance to costing-base PA" temporaly, in order to close de cost colectors ?
    there are another program or report that I can use in order to settle the old variances?

  • Product costing in BI

    Hi,
    Is it possible to do product costing in SAP BI?
    Has any one done this.
    We have scenario as mentioned below.
    The system landscape consists of SAP ECC plus some other ERP running with Oracle as DB.
    The BOM is maintained in the external system. Product planning is executed in excel and the derived standard cost is updated in the external system. The actual qunatities for production, RM, PM consumption is available in the external system. The actual RM PM rate is available in SAP. The overheads are booked in SAP FICO.
    There may be need of cost allocation  to be done in BI.
    How can it be done?
    Please advise.
    Thank you.

    Hi
    How are calculating the Previous Period Data selection?
    Have you defined an abap routine in the infopackage? 
    When it has loaded 50000 records, check in the Monitor, for what PERIOD data selection, the load has happened.
    You can check the data in source system through RSA3 transaction.

  • SAP PRODUCT COSTING

    Hi Guru's,
    I am new to Product Costing and I have few questions,
    If any one can give me the ways I can resolve these issue,
    I would appreciate there help.
    Please find the questions below,
    1) I have scenario where BOM has 10 items and in that I am not required to use one of the material. that may be a RAW or Halb etc.
    This is only for particular scenario where I don't use that material, In other scenarios we use all that present in the BOM.
    2) BOM have 10 items and I have one material which is $5 and I need this material from another Profit center and that is $6,
    so how can I charge this material cost to $6 in the BOM.? (One way is doing mixed costing) if you can suggest any more ways to do it
    3) In BOM one item is $10 but we want to cost it only 70% ie: $7?
    only for 1 scenario we cost 70% of that material in BOM for all other scenarios we cost 100%.
    Please help.
    Regards
    Chandra

    Santosh,
    I think may be I was not clear on my question,
    (1) I have scenario where BOM has 10 items and in that I am not required to use one of the material. that may be a RAW or Halb etc.
    This is only for particular scenario where I don't use that material, In other scenarios we use all that present in the BOM.
    STEP 1 .CHECK " DO NOT COST" OPTION IN COSTING 1 VIEW OF THE MATERIAL.
    STEP 2. RELEASE COST ESTIMATE.
    STEP 3 . SET BACK " DO NOT COST" OPTION IN COSTING 1 VIEW OF THE MATERIAL FOR NEXT COSTING RUN.)
    Every time changing in the material master is not possible because we use same material as a component for other FG's.
    and in this particular BOM we not only use it for this scenario but also for other scenarios where we use it as a component.
    ((2) BOM have 10 items and I have one material which is $5 and I need this material from another Profit center and that is $6,
    so how can I charge this material cost to $6 in the BOM.? (One way is doing mixed costing) if you can suggest any more ways to do it
    NO NEED TO CHANGE MATERIAL COST IN BOM.
    IN BOM, SELECT MATERIAL FROM THE DESIRED PLANT / PROFIT CENTER.))
    Can you give me more details on this please...........2 questions.
    (3) In BOM one item is $10 but we want to cost it only 70% ie: $7?
    only for 1 scenario we cost 70% of that material in BOM for all other scenarios we cost 100%.
    1)IN BOM, MAINTAIN THE REQUIRED QTY AS 70%.
    2) DO COSTING RUN.
    3) SET BACK THE CHANGES IN BOM FOR DIFFERENT SCENARIO.)
    For this particular scenario there are 10 materials and in that only one material Halb price is 10 at qty 1,
    and I want this cost to be $7 ie $3 less than the original price in material master.
    example:
    material cost: $10 and qty is 1.
    in the above scenario i use same material and same quantity ie $10 qty is 1.
    but i want this material price to be 70% price ie $7 in the PO.

  • Encryption of standard SAP field (product cost)

    Hi,
    My client would like to encrypt product cost-related fields, and I was wondering how to encrypt the field much like you would a credit card number of password.
    Thanks
    Brian

    Not sure if the encryption is in the GUI so users don't see it or in the database so DBAs can't access it.
    One way to encrypt it is through DB encryption methods such as TDE for Oracle.  If you are Oracle shop, TDE is in your license and you can use is as of Oracle 10.2.0.4.

  • Production Planning in IS-Retail

    Hello all,
    I was wondering if it is possible to use Production Planning if IS-Retail industry Solution is activated. I know that materials are converted to articles in IS-Retail, but I don´t know if this could affect the process of production planning.
    Thanks in advance.
    Ezequiel

    Hi,
    You can use PP module in IS Retail too!!
    But, following functions not support in SAP Retail
    (a) Long-term planning: You cannot maintain specific data for long-term planning for articles.
    (b) Co-product production: You cannot create specific data for co-product production (for example, apportionment structure for costs) for articles. You can map production transactions with by-products in the bill of material, using articles with a negative quantity

  • POS DM: Stock updates in SAP Retail

    Hi!
    We are implementing SAP Retail (ERP 6.0 EHP4 stack 3), SAP PI (Netweaver PI 7.1 SP 8) and SAP BW (NetWeaver 7.0 ehp1 stack 4, incl BI content 704, SP 3 ) for a client. Their POS system is a 3rd party system, i.e. not SAP POS, and it does not contain any stock information.
    This issue concerns stock updates in SAP Retail using POS DM:
    On the busiest day of year, my client has 347 000 POS transactions in total from all stores, and in one year they have 30 mill POS transactions. My client requires that SAP will provide them with near-realtime information on stock availability, as this is an important way of providing good customer service. The stock information should be available in SAP Enterprise Portal and SAP Retail Store, as well as standard SAP gui transaction. In addition, the webshop (external system) should have as accurate information about stock as possible, at least it should be updated once every 30 minutes.
    My client also has a requirement to be able to create purchase orders during office hours (store opening hours), based on MRP runs. This means they must have as accurate stock levels as possible for running MRP. Stock levels are also used in ATP checks, when deciding whether to pick customer orders from store inventory/stock or to create purchase requisitions.
    All these requirements have led us to believe that the best way to solve this, is alternative A:
    - to update stock continuously during office hours, using WPUBON to create material documents, one for each POS transaction. Sales and tenders will be updated in SAP Retail using WPUUMS and WPUTAB.
    Some challenges this will create:
    a)     It will create 347 000 WPUBONs on the busiest day of year, all within 10-12 open hours.
    b)     If we have same amount of material docs and FI docs, they will use 30% of the available 8 digits within their number ranges per year.
    c)     The idocs will fail if there are article locks simultaneously. (However, this can be handled by updating products only at night time (using batch jobs) and using batch job to handle failed idocs)

    Alternative B:
    - we have considered to use WPUUMS and WPUTAB, updating stock levels only once a day. The solution we then must use for taking into account actual sales data is described in SAP Note 1088886 - Using the interface for online stock queries. If we choose this, we need to check during the day for each article any sales, to reduce stock in reporting/screens, ATP checks and in MRP runs. We must also create a program to check for articles sold before sending stock data to webshop (external system). (As we do not know which articles have been sold, we must create our own version of RFC - /POSDW/SALES_QUERY_RFC, to enable that the article number does not have to be specified. Rather, the article numbers (and sold quantities) have to be returned to ERP based on what was actually sold.)
    We consider this alternative more risky, due to the need for changing behaviour of standard programs for MRP and ATP check. It will also create a number of RFC calls between SAP ECC and SAP BW.
    My questions on this issue are:
    i)     Will alternative A be preferrable, if hardware requirements are handled?
    ii)     Do you see any additional challenges related to alternative A?
    iii)     Will alternative B be adviceable, concerning the program changes/enhancements involved?
    iv)     Are there standard implementations of SAP ECC, that includes the use of RFC - /POSDW/SALES_QUERY_RFC. I.e. standard programs in SAP ECC that uses the information from this RFC call?
    Thanks for any advice !

  • Business Content for Product Cost by Sales Order

    Hi,
    We need to do reporting on costs associated to Sales Orders. The corresponding R/3 Area is "Product Cost by Sales Order" in Cost Object Controlling. We have looked at the standard cube for Cost Object Controlling (0PC_C01) but this cube only contain costs related to manufacturing orders, whereas we need to look at costs associated with sales orders after Result Analysis.
    Have you guys any ideas which content that might support this, if any?
    Many thanks!
    / David

    Hi Christian,
    please refer to SAP Note 584791: <a href="https://websmp208.sap-ag.de/~form/handler?_APP=01100107900000000342&_EVENT=REDIR&_NNUM=0000584791&nlang=E">BW-BCT-CO: Costs not extracted on sales orders</a>.
    Unfortunately there's no DataSource providing the data you need for your analysis scenario. A custom development is needed (<i>awful!!</i>)
    <b>Note 584791 - BW-BCT-CO: Costs not extracted on sales orders</b>
    <b>Symptom</b>
    In R/3, costs are posted directly to sales orders. The costs have to be analyzed in the BW system. In the standard system, however, this data is not extracted into the BW system.
    <b>Other terms</b>
    0CO_OM_OPA_1; 0CO_OM_OPA_6
    <b>Solution</b>
    1. There are currently no DataSources for costs on sales orders in the standard BW Business Content. Unfortunately, there are currently no resources scheduled for a new development in this area either.
    2. Therefore, the DataSources and the Business Content must be created in the customer project within the framework of consulting as a customer solution concerning the generic extraction options of the BW Service APIs or function modules you have programmed yourself for extracting data.
    3. Technical background information about costs on sales orders:
    The transaction data is available in the following R/3 tables
    COSS and COSP - Totals records or COEP - Line items.
    This concerns records for the VB* object numbers.
    The master data of the sales orders is contained in the VBAK and VBAP tables.
    The 0CO_OM_OPA_1 and 0CO_OM_OPA_6 DataSources only extract costs for orders with master data in the AUFK table. These types of requests always have OR* object numbers. Therefore, these DataSources cannot be used for sales orders.
    However, you may be able to assign requests from the AUFK table (for example, maintenance orders or production orders) to a sales order through the AUFK-KDAUF table field.
