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?

MESSAGE ERROR: WIP a target cost only possible with Product Cost by Period

I work with orders assign to WBS Element (Non-valuated stock).
If I enter confirmation to an order created, and then execute KKAX transaction to calculate WIP, the system shows this error message u201Cu2018WIP a target cost only possible with Product Cost by Periodu2019u201D, but actually the result has been calculated ok.
If WIP is executed collectively KKAO the error message is the same but the result is not calculated
Everything suggests that what we want is possible, but the error doesnu2019t disappear
Does anyone know what could be reason for the error?
Thanks

Hi
Check your RA key and WIP customizing... WIP at target cost is possible only in Product cost by period
Check your settlement rule in Prod Order.. I guess it would be FUL and not PER.. FUL settlement means you are in product cost by order.. There seems to be a mismatch between your settlement type (FUL/PER) and WIP config
Moreover, if your stock is non valuated, do you at all need to calculate WIP for prod orders? I dont think so

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

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 flushing

Dear 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.
Kind Regards,
Brendan

Hi,
In AO90, check for the Account 'Acquisition:Acquis. and production costs' .
Then for the GL account check the field status group. May be Cost center might be mandatory.

KKS1 Only remaining var. in version 0 - no target cost Message no. KV151

Hi,
I am trying to variance calculation using T-code KKS1 but i am facing error as below,
Only remaining var. in version 0 - no target costs for 000001000010
Message no. KV151
Diagnosis
For the calculation of variances with 000001000010 , the target costs in target cost version 0 are missing for the following reasons:
There were no planned costs and/or planned quantities (see earlier message).
The quantities on which the planned costs were based are zero in the time period concerned. This may be caused by the fact that no goods receipt for a cost object (such as a product cost collector or production order) has been entered.
This results in target costs of zero.
System Response
Because no target costs were calculated, the difference between the
planned and actual costs could not be broken down into variance categories. The difference is updated as a remaining variance.
please guide me or missing any config
Thanks
Shital

Hi Shital
there are many posts available in the forum already on this topic... I would recommend to search the forum before posting any question, thats the rule of the forum
You are facing this error for one or more of the following reasons
1. Your standard cost estimate is not released. This must be released before GR from the production order
2. If your contr area currency is diff than comp code currency, then your cost estimate must also be updated in contr area currency.. You do this in costing variant (OKKN)
3. GR might not have been done in the month for which you are calculating variance... i.e. This production order was created, say, in July end but actual processing and GR done in August.. So when you calculate variance for July, this error appears. In this case, you can ignore this error

Automation for actual input of utility rate in Production Cost centers

Dear All,
Currently we have a process where we are downloading actual rates through KSII for each location and rates calculated are inputed through KBK6 for all individual production cost centers by activities ,so my requirement is whether there is any procedure where downloading and uploading can be eliminated and actual rates calculated by system directly loads on to the production cost centers.
Kindly provide any suggestions
Thanks and Regards
vijay

Hi,
If u run KSII, system will give a message "Do you want to post the results of price calculation?" if u click on YES , it will automatically update in your KBK6. Pl. Check once.

Material Ledger,Revaluation Production Cost Center ,Standard Cost

Hi, I have a problem with revaluation of production cost centers.
Firstly, production cost center expenses are settled via activity types onto the production order at the end of the period. However, CKMLCP revaluate cost centers after the settlement because of using standard price. So cost centers at the end of the period have some amount.
As a result we can not find actual price for production orders.
If I use standard cost in order to consume on cost centers, material ledger revaluates again this cost centers. I dont want this condition. Because this cost center is settled to other cost object before closing.
Thanks.

Target Cost Verion in Product Cost

Hi,
I'm not able to create Target Cost Version (1,2,3.....) in variance Calculation pertaining to Product Costing.
I'm getting this message:
Version 1000 1 not intended to be used as the target cost version
Message no. KQ243
Diagnosis
The specified target cost version has not been flagged in central version maintenance as suitable for variance calculation.
Procedure
1. Check the entries in the central version table.
2. If appropriate, flag the version as suitable for variance calculation.
Please help & guide urgently.

Try running a variance analysis, and see if it civd you an error message. typically this occurs when a SCE estimate was created after the process/production order was created. So check the dates of the two orders that you have, and compare with the date of the SCE CREATION.

Transfer price (Internal Reveue to be allocated to Production cost Center)

Hi Sap Gurus.
My cleint using tranfer price without activiation material Ledger. The internal revenue should not reflect in Fi. For that we have created ztable and we will be able to transfer the stock between profit center and we are getting internal reveue to the sending profit sender and expenses to the receiving profit center finaally balance become a zero,(we are maintaing same gl account while doing transfer price). Now expense in receving profit center should consider as part of produt costing. how to allocate this expense to the production cost center when there is no balance.
Example
SENDING PLANT 1 MATERIAL 123456 MM PRICE (10) TP 15
RECEIVNING Plant 2 Material 123456 MM PRICE (10) TP 15
While taking STO system is posting with material master price 10, but in the production if they are using that material system should take 5 also . 10 is the cost and 5 is overhead.
help me out?

These are some few things I found out. Below is the result of a test I carried out when I tried to create a Settlement Rule for a statistical order.
Statistical order may not contain a settlement rule
Message no. KO188
Diagnosis
Order 12770, for which you are trying to create a settlement rule, is statistical.
System Response
Statistical orders cannot have a settlement rule because they cannot be settled.
Procedure
You could possibly remove the statistics indicator from the order (only if nothing has been posted to it yet).
I may be wrong but I have determined that, for production orders, you will have to use Standard Production Order Type and not a statistical order. The object class has to be production as well.
You will only be able to create a settlement rule if it is not a statistical order with the assignment category as ORD. Also, in your order type: Internal Order - Production, under general parameters, you will have to assign settlement profile 30 which is production order.
You may have to define planning profiles for co production orders, costing variant, valuation types. Maintain order types using KOT2. Example:
Order Type: PP01 Standard Production Order
Order Category: 10 PP Production Order
Number Range Interval: 1000000000--19999999999
Settlement Profile: abc
CO Partner Update: Semi-Active
Check of Classification
Next Maintain Settlement Profile: ABC Standard Production Order
Check off "To be Settled in Full
Default Allocation Structure: E.G: EB
Indicators: check off: 100% Validation. % settlement, equivalent numbers
Valid Receivers: 1 for most
Document Type: OS Order Settlement
Create Allocation etc.
Hope this gives you some pointers as to how to proceed.

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
Dawn

Hi 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.

Product Cost by Period and Product Cost by Order

Hi,
For one client can we go for a group of materials(FERT) with Product Cost by Period and for some other group of materials materials (FERT) Product Cost by Order.
My question is can both the concepts be used simultaniously for one client?
Any difficultieis if you follow both the concepts simultaniously.
I Would greatly appreciate your replies.
Thanks!!!
-Kumar

Hi
You can very well use both the scenarios at same time.. Absolutely no issues with it...
Ensure that your Prod order types are separate for both the scenarios....
Prod Order type for Cost by order will have FUL as settlement type and the order type for Cost by period will have PER....
So, your user in shop floor needs to have that discipline of selecting the correct order type..
If your identification is based on some field like Material group, you can also put a custom ABAP check which wil give an error message incase wrong order type is chosen
For eg: Mat group ABC is allowed for cost by order... Order type for cost by order is Say, ZPP1... Your ABAP code can check if Mat group is ABC and order type is not ZPP1, then issue an error message
To put this check, use BADI WORKORDER_UPDATE
