Production Orders cost

Hi gurus,
I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but I'm PP consultant and just starting a new projec on which the most important topics are production and costs so here are my questions.
1.- What is the responsability of the PP consultant regarding production costs, order costs, product costing etc?
2.- Can someone explain the integration of PP and CO.
3.- In my client company I see this scenario: it is a consumable goods manufactory industry and they buy cinnamon but they only make a huge one purchase a year, only in january they buy the cinnamon and it lasts for all year, so on that particular month they have to pay for the hole freight of the cinnamon, the product that uses the cinnamon does not reflect the real costs since the whole freight is taken at january, then in february they have excellent results since they produce the same qty but with less costs.
This is a common problem here, because there are like 5 raw materils that are bought in this way, so how to reflect a proportion of the cost while consuming the raw material? and the question also would be if I as PP consultant should do that or is it CO stuff.
Thanks experts I hope you can help me with this, I would really appreciate

Dear standard values and activity types relevant to cost centers are defined in work centers(CR01) which are assigned in
particular material routings(CA01) and activity rates are maintained in KP26.
Check below links for in detail information about product costing.

Reg :Production order cost report day wise.

Dear Expert,
1.We want a report for a particular Production order cost day wise.
The scenario is like this Production order is Released for 100 Qty.
Today they confirmed only 50 Qty.
Tomorrow they will confirm 50 qty.
Now they want to see the cost for today confirmation and tomorrows confirmation.
Reason being daily the Raw Material cost is changed and they want to track the variance.
Is there any standard report we can achieve this or do we have go for development
2. And also i need to know daily how many production orders have been released.
Thank u in advance.

A day is not a controlled cost object. You could write a report to look at costs gathered in a day (by reporting date), but I strongly suggest that if you need to analyze costs per day you switch to daily orders.
You'll find then that all the standard processes work for you.

Production order costing issue in MTO with variant configuration

We have an urgent issue to be resolved in production order costing in MTO scenario.
We have two level configuration with configuration passed from parent to children. The parent has many configurable materials as child(semi finished BOM items) and BOM items of these child has again different raw materials(3 level BOM with last level being all raw materials) . The production order for parent created with reference to sales order.
While costing production order of parent, total planned price is displayed as zero as we have maintained price control std price for all configurable materials(parent & child) with zero price being configurable materials.Configurations are correct in production order material and BOM components(configurable materials). BOM item selections, Item quanties are also correct.
Sales order costing is working fine and rolled-up correctly as per costing settings. We have looked at costing configuration for production order and did not find anything unusual.
Kindly suggest possible reasons for not showing costing result in production order as per configuration copied from sales order or any possible configuration or master data likely missing ?
Thanks in advance.
Kind Regards
Ganeshan Kalembeth

Dear GANESHAN KALEMB,
Kindly open production order in change mode and reschedule order, cost order, check material availability and check capacity availability.
after doing this in main menu goto > log > overview > see error list if there is any, let me know, your problem can be solved.
Thanks

MTO & Production Order Cost estimate

Hello
We have MTO with Production Order cost estimate for valuating invendtory.But the value of GR is not matching with Production Order cost estmate though strategy is "2"-with which its valuated.The estimate does not have any majaor itemisation except Activity cost-which is unchanged.How do i find the the value with which GR is done.AN order cost estimate no is saved in EBEW.WIll this give me trail of the itemisation with values & how can i get the trail.

Hi SR,
- Value GR is not match with the order, here are my basic question
> Are you using material in the standard price or moving?
> Are man days estimated is same with the actual GI?
If there is different than cost estimation would not be the same with the actual GR.
- Find the the value with which GR is done, I'm not sure about the question here & correct me if I'm wrong.
If you want to search whether GR is done or not you should check by the Order in module PP
- How can i get the trail, if you want to get the trail over cost and until sales order in placed, I think it has to be a custom program
Hope helps

Product cost v/s Production Order cost

Hi all Guru's,
Can any one help me in understanding difference between product cost and production order cost in SAP.
Will give full marks for helpful answer.
Thanks,
Abhishek
Edited by: ABHISHEK AGRAWAL on Jan 29, 2008 9:46 AM

Dear Abhishek,
Standard Cost Estimate or Material cost Estimate is nothing
but the standard cost for the Inhouse Manufactured materials
(FERT) = Raw Materials Cost + Activity(Operation Cost)
Cost+Overhead Cost if maintained for the Company code.
This cost will gets stamped in the material master in Costing2
view,under Current Planned Price field.
This cost will be the Planned Cost of the Production order and
after confirmation of the order the actual cost and the variances
for the production order can be viewed.
So the Production order cost is for the order quantity say for
Eg: for a quantity of 100.
The cost(variance) will be settled against that production order
after confirmation and TECO status.
I hope this will be helping you.

Production order cost estimate

Hello,
what is prodcution order cost estimate.

SR,
Production order cost estimate is the estimate of all the costs likey to be incurred on the completion of the production oreder.
Following is the way described how tp do this in SAP.
Creating a Cost Estimate for a Production Order Without Quantity Structure
Choose Accounting-> Controlling->Cost Object Controlling->Product Cost by Period->Planning->CO Production Order->Create/change plan.
Enter the order and choose ENTER.
The dialog box Copy cost estimate appears. The system proposes a costing variant through the planning profile. Choose a costing variant.
If you want to copy costing items using the reference and simulation costing functions, enter either a base planning object or the material and control parameters for a cost estimate without quantity structure.
Enter the lot size that you want to use for costing, and choose ENTER.
The system displays the list screen of the cost estimate without quantity structure.
Enter the costing items.
Save the cost estimate.
If you have entered a costing sheet and (if applicable) an overhead key in the master record of the production order, the system calculates the overhead and assigns it to costing items of item category G. You cannot plan the costs for a production order using a cost estimate without quantity structure if the production order is linked to a run schedule header.
Hope this helps you.

Standard layout production order cost views

hello all!
is there a possibility to store standard layouts for ALVs in production order cost displays? is there a user parameter or another setting?
i can only save user-layouts even though i have SAP_ALL.
best regards,
matthias

Matthias,
Check whether you are getting the menu Layout Administration or Management. Only if you have the authorisation you would get this option and here you would be able to set the default layout client level.
I think your authorisation is restricted to setting Layout at user level, I am not aware of the authorisation object on this...so sorry for not able to help you further.

Production Order Cost Analysis - Goods Receipt

I have been assigned to create analysis of production orders. I need to show the volume variance as well as the cost variance using both the initial planned costs as well as the actual costs when the production order is completed. All this information is available in COR3 on cost analysis, but I need to allow for display of multiple orders based on plant and date information.
I have found that the ingredients are in the table RESB with most of the information that I need, I have not had luck in finding what table has the goods receipt information (produced product). SAP help says that the fields are in KKBCS_OUT, which is a structure that I can't find where populated from.
I would appreciate any assistance in this endeavor.
Thanks
Steven M Engel

Thanks for the suggestions, but they have not provided me with what I think I need to give a solution to my superiors.
I will attempt to clarify what I need to do. We are a manufacturing facility. We have a BOM that says to make 10 E, I need 3 A, 2 B, 3 C, and 4 D. Each of the components (A to D) have a set cost at the time the production order is created, this looks to be saved as part of the planned cost in RESB. Produced product E also has a planned cost at time production order created (as seen by COR3) but that is not stored in RESB.
At production time we actually use 2.5 A, 2.5 B, 3 C, and 5 D to make the 10 E. COR3 cost analysis is showing me the cost variance. This cost variance has two parts, part 1 is because the quantities of the inputs are different. Part 2 is because between the time the production order was created, and the production order was finished, the costs of A to E may have changed.
I need to breakout the different components to show management how much of the total cost variance is attributed to each part. I need a report that management can run (or have run) that will allow them choose by plant, date, end product, etc. so they can direct what changes need to be made to costing, pricing, and BOMs.
I hope that I have laid out what I am trying to do in a coherent manner. Also I am new to the SAP system with less than 1 year using the system.
Thanks for your time.

Production order cost breakup table in SAP

Hi Experts,
I am looking for the cost breakup table in SAP. I mean the cost breakup analysis that is shown in the production orders.
I can get the material costs breakup from table AUFM, Confirmations cost breakup from table AFRU & AFVV, the only remaining is the overhead costs against cost element.

Hi SAPXPT,
Try transaction RKACSHOW, see note 28145. RKACSHOW shows all the tables that are updated on an order.

QA11/ Production order Cost

I was wanting to know when you confirm a work order through co11n and post the qty. this automatically creates an inspection lot for us. Using QA11 or QE72 we then give the inspection lot a usage decision - if everything is OK and all material goes to unrestricted stock this works OK. My problem is that when I put some stock to scrap and samples and assign a cost centre I can only put it to the same cost centre as the work order. I want to post samples to our QA cost centre. If I have the same cost centre the actual work order costs are effected.
In MM is works OK for purchasing - we receipt the PO via MIGO_GR and this creates the inspection lot. We can then use QA11/QE72 to put a usage decision on and post the amounts to unrestricted, scrap (and assign a cost centre) and samples and assign the QA cost centre. All costs go to the correct areas.
I want to have the same functionality on the PP side and not effect the actual costs of the work order by adding a usage decision in QM and putting qty's to scrap and samples.
my client want to separate the cost fgrom Production Order.
Any help would be appreciated.

Dear Faiza,
Cost centers lying in the same profit center that of the work order is allowed for posting scrap. But the cost will get effected on the work order.
I am also waiting for answers from the experts.
Thanks for this question

PP - Production Order Cost Balance View

I need help regarding the following situation. I need to see the Legal Valuation in Cost Balance for some Production Orders (Collective View). The Information I need can be obtained for a single PO by entering the PO (transaction CO03) -> GoTo-> Costs-> Balance-> an I find the Information in Balance in controlling area currency in Legal valuation.
The Information I need is the field WKG_0 in the Structure KPARALLEL_VAL. Can someone please tell me in which Database table I can find this information?
The information is also to be found in the field ISTKOST_G of the structure KKBCS_OUT.
So if you think you can help me please send a mail at [email protected]
Thanks.

COEP CO Object: Line Items (by Period) is the table.
Here is where all the costs posted to the Production order is stored by CO document. Please run this table for the object number of the order. This is the storage for the t-code KOB1 Actual line items of an order. You may have to get the total of the line items.
You can find the object number (OBJNR) of the production order in the table AUFK given the field AUFNR (order no.).
For a completed order, the total will be zero. Hope you may find this workaround useful.
