Production Quantities in COPA

Hi
Anyone know how to transfer Production Quanties (from Production Orders) to COPA? I assume that a PA transfer structure of some kind would be needed, but I need to know the exact steps.
Much appreciated

Transaction KEI1 Select the PA transfer structure. First click on the Assignment lines. Select the assignment relating to output and click on the check box Quantity billed/Delivered.
The PA structure used can be found in the settlement profile, which further gets assigned to the order type in the configuration.

Transfering Production variances to COPA

Hi,
I have doubts about transferring Production variances to COPA.
Will this functionality work both for settlement of variances to GL Variances Account and at the same time for settlement of variances to COPA?
From my experience with cost centers and internal orders, I know that if I want to settle an Internal order both to COPA char and to GL Account, I have to make 100% overhead for the costs gathered on IO. Then I can do the settlement in both directions.
Could you please explain to me the case of Production order variances settlement? I need to have them both on GL accounts and in COPA.
Best wishes,
Karol

Hi
At the time of settlement of production orders, FI entry also passed as well as variances are also settled to COPA
In FI, variances will be debited (assuming production order debit is more than what it is settled to Inventory at Std cost) and Inventory changes account is credited.
In COPA, depending on the variance categories like Price, qty and their assignment to value fields, this amount is transferred.
For eg, if prodn order actual costs is say 12000 and is settled to Inventory is 10000 (at std cost), and the difference is 2000 and if this difference is due to Price (800) and qty (1200).
Hope this is useful

Production variance in COPA

Hi All,
We are settling production variances to COPA and We have 3 values fields in COPA,Material Variance,production labor variance and Other variance.
Variance categories are mapped to material, labor variance and others value fields.but i dont see any labor variances in Variance value field.i have reviewed and this is becuase of Variance categories.which are not one to one mapping to value fields.
we have 9 Variance categories mapped to 3 value fields.
client requirement is labor variances to settled to Variance value field,material variance to Material value field and Overhead and other variances to settlement others value field.is this possible?if yes.how can i do this?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Anusha

Hi,
As explained earlier by other forum colleagues,variances captured at production can be assigned to COPA under value field.This assignment is happening through PA transfer structure for variance settlement.
Normally this can be defined broadly into 2 categories : 1.Cost element and 2.Variance categories.
After looking at your requirement,your main interest is in cost element based production variance push to COPA for reporting.i.e.Labor variance.
Production order shows this variance under secondary cost element labor and difference between target/actual.COPA transfer structure doesn't push 2 seprate values (target/actual) ,whereas only delta gets posted.
I feel your requirement is not possible through PA transfer structure.
I would suggest,you push cost center specific labor expenses under new value field,capture cost component wise break up of standard cost udner different value field.
Comparision of cost center expense and labor part of standard cost will provide you expected value.
I know this complex thing to do,so discuss with client do they really want from COPA?
Same reporting they can get from cost cente i.e.expense posted(labor ) and absorbed on product under secondary cost element.

Production Variances in COPA CO-PA

Hi Gurus
Production variances are genrated in COPA at the time of Prod Order Settlement.How can we display these in COPA reports apportioned according to Products
If not what is the best practice to present Production Variances in COPA reports

Hi,
The production variances flows to copa by creating PA transfer structre in OKOA. their you have to assign value fields to variance categories.after creation of pa transfer str u have to assign it in u r settlement profile.
Thank u

Product hierarchy in COPA

Hi all,
I am new to COPA. What I need to do is creating a report that is using a product hierarchy that we can define.
So I started and created a hierarchy in V/76 like we need it. Those values can now be entered into the "Prod. hierarchy" field for each material in material master - basic data 1.
Then I have created a characteristic for the field MARA-PRDHA (Product Hierarchy) in COPA and assigned it to our operating concern in COPA. Now I created a form (KE34), double clicked on a column to add a characteristic and selected my PROD HIERARCHY characteristic. Now in the window for "selected characteristics" there is a checkbox "Flag for entering hierarchies" so I checked that, but it says "No hierarchies exist for this characteristic".
So is this the right way to do it? How can I add product hierarchies to my COPA report, we would like to be able to "click" through the hierarchy, like starting on the highest level and clicking down.
Thanks
Anne

Anne,
Do not a check on checkbox "Flag for entering hierarchies" . Select value( Hierarchies from Definition drop down window) .
Thanks,
Mahesh

Product description in COPA reports

Hi All,
Have a material M123 -->Machine tools.but in KE30 reports,i can see only product/material M123,no description.
How can i get Product description in COPA KE30 reports?
Any help is appreciated....
Thanks,
Anusha

Hi,
After executing the report
choose > 'Settings > Characteristic display' from the menu.
A dialog box appears where you can choose the option.
Change the setting to 'key and name' and the text should appear

Product group in COPA

Hi Gurus,
Can you plese let me know the procedure of creating 'Product Group' in COPA? I know this is very general question but I have no idea about this as when I went to KES1 and KEA6 I could find product Hierarchy but not prodcut group. I assume there is difference between both.
Regards,
Pushkar

Hi
   What is the difference between KMMAKL and MATKL characteristics when they are derived from the same table and field?
Will they be displayed with different names in COPA, like one as 'Product Group' and the ohter as 'Material Group'?
   My requirement is to have 'Product Group' characteristic in the operating concern. Right now, I see product group field in Cost Center to COPA assessment segments, but i am not able to populate it with material group.
   So should I add KMMAKL or MATKL, or can I add both?
Thanks in advance.

How the Trading Goods mapped in to Product costing and COPA in Controlling

Dear Experts,
I have a trading goods scenario in my client. How the mapping into Product Costing and COPA.
They just purchase FG products from Vendors and Sell to their Customers, they received FG Products to Main Plant from Vendors and then sends to Branches from Main Plant, In between some expenses accured like Transport, Fright etc. this is my scenario.
How the settings to be made in Product costing and COPA.
I am waiting for your favorable reply.
Thanks,
KBR.

Hi Bhaskar
I believe branches are also created as Plants
You have 2 choices....
Choice 1: If the Freight amount is known @ the time of Transfer from Main plant to Branches, include the same in STO so that inventory value in Branch = Purchase Value + Freight amount
CHoice 2: If thats not possible, then inventory value in Branch will be same as the Main plant... The expenses incurred on freight needs to be posted to a cost center... Then allocate them @ month end based on revenue / Quantity sold etc using KEU5
Whichever choice you make, Product Costing is not relevant and required as well... You dont need to do any CK11N
If you want to see in COPA Purchase value separate and the Freight, etc separate - Then choice 2 is the route for you

Settle Production Variances to COPA- Cost elements and Value fields

Dear All,
I know this question has been discussed in the past, but I have one specific doubt regarding this topic.:
When assigning cost elements to variance categories in t-code KEI1, how do we figure out what combination of cost elements (in the top half of the screen) constitute Input Price Variance, Scrap variance etc (in the bottom half of the screen)? I know the net of the postings on those cost elements tells us what variances we are looking it, but how do we get the cost elements (group) for let's say, 'Input/Output Quanity Varinace or 'Lot size Variance' ?
Or is this a futile exercise? May be I should just create three types of variances: Labor, Machine and Overhead. And I know what cost elements (net of the postings) would, in total, make up the $ variance in each of those categories. I can then use them in my report painter reports.
Please help clear the fog for me.
Ajay?
Thanks a lot,
Deepak

Hi Deepak,
Welcome to SDN!!
There are 2 ways of updating variances in COPA... I Prefer the 2nd option always...
1. Category wise variances (Input Prc, Usage var, etc) - Here, create a Cost ele group, where in you include all the Cost elements that can be posted to the Prod orders
For the sake of simplicity, you can include Cost elements 1 to 99999999 in the Cost element group...
2. Cost Comp Structure wise variances -
a. Create as many assignment lines in PA Trf Structure as in your Cost Comp Str...
Eg: If your Cost Comp Str in OKTZ has Raw Mat, Labor, Overhead - Create 3 Assignments in PA Trf Structure..
b. Assign the same cost elements in the SOURCE as in the Cost Comp Str
c. Choose the radio button "Costs/Revenues" in your assignment line, instead of " Variance on Production orders"
d. Assign each Assignment line to a separate Value Field

Product Variances in COPA for SFG

Hi Freinds,
I am facing a issue relating to production variances arising from settlement of production order for SFG.
As SFG is not sold in my case and is being used for producing 2-3 types of Finished goods, therefore client wants that the production variance of SFG should be allocated to the FG's based on Sales Quantity.
However as all production variances are being settled to COPA, SFG production variannce are also coming to COPA, now I am not able to fine in COPA if there is anything to support this.
Thanks

Hi
The answer to your question is both YES & NO
It is possible to allocate SFG variances upon FG using top down distribution in COPA (KE28)... However, for that, you should have "Some thing in Common"
"Some thing in Common" means - Your SFG and FG should have a relation in SAP where by you can identify that they co-relate.. In one of our clients, we set up the system in such a way that the related SFG and FG shared the same material group...
So, while distributing in COPA (Top Down Dist), we specified that Variances Pertaining to Mat Type = HALB & Mat Group= XX should be allocated to Mat Type = FERT and Mat Group = XX...
Do you such a co-relation established in your system?

Actual COGS and Production Variances to COPA (KE27)

Dear all,
if the COGS is revaluated with the ML (revaluation of consumption)
if the COGS is mapped as a dedicated value field in COPA
if the COGS @ actual is passed to the COPA (KE27)
Hence is no longer needed to settle the production order variances to COPA!???
Thanks

Hello Francesco,
Yes. Very True.
Actual Costing will roll up the Cost for every next level. Without ML, the entry normally posted to FI when we run settlement.
Dr/Cr. Production Variance
Cr/Dr. COGM
This is where it remains for information, since Both GL accounts belongs to P & L.
When ML is activated, the variance is added to the next level of the product. Here , if we observe, settlement of variance neither impacted FI, When there is no ML Activation, nor impacted FI when ML is activated.

Product Hierarchy and COPA

Can any one tell me what is a prodcut heirarchy and how it is related to Controlling ( specially with COPA and Product costing). If the product heirarchy is changed, what are the things need to be adjusted in configuration for COPA and Product costing. I would appreciate step by step and trxn codes in your explanation.
Thanks
Points will be rewarded.

hi,
Product Cost Controlling (CO-PC)
The structure used for interactive analysis of product costs for each level of the hierarchy. The product hierarchy consists of:
Plant*
Product group*
Product*
Order*

Product Hierarchy to COPA

Hi All,
We have defined and maintained product hierarchy as 4 levels with each level as 2 CHAR. This was done by appending the structure. Now in COPA,, how do we get this? Bcoz in COPA the characteristics are different. What changes needs to be done by COPA to pull this?
rgds..Ameet

hi
you can define the characterstics which is similar to the appended structure.
in SPRO - while defining the OPERATING CONCERN.
hope this clears your issue.

Product Costing and COPA

Hi Friends,
Could any one tell me the basic settlements done to COPA from Product Costing point of view and which tables will be updated at the periodic settlemnet of variences to COPA?
Thank you ,
Parthu

Hi
During settlement, variances are posted to CO-PA from the Production/Process Order/Production Cost Collecter at the same time that they are posted to the G/L. The fixed and variable portions of the variance are carried over into CO-PA with the same breakdown as the cost component layout that comprises the standard cost. Any characteristics that have been configured in CO-PA that are related to the product number are carried over for analysis, such as product number, product line, plant, and so on. This access allows the matching of variances with the products cost of sales.
The variances are posted to CO-PA in the period when they are incurred, not the period when the product is sold.
If you are using costing based CO-PA, the tables updated are:
CExYYYY, where yyyy = the operating concern/
Hope this helps.
