QC activities in Standard Cost Calculation

Is it possible somehow the activities in operations/phases within inspection plan (TC QP01, task list type Q) include in material cost estimate (TC CK11N)? If it is, what kind of operation/phase key is needed to be set in inspection plan? What kind of costing variant is appropriate for this?

Hi Milan,
Yes, we can include activities within inspection plan in cost estimates.
Operation key from costing perspective depends on client's requirements for costing. We can use PPC1 - standard costing variant to include this. However, we may need some config setting to make it possible.
You can reach me at [email protected]
Thanks

  • Standard cost calculation

    Dear all,
    We have 5 plants and 17 depots. We run standard cost estimate for 5 plants. In the same way, how to arrive at the costs for depots? It should contain excise duty, freight etc., Please suggest.
    Thanks & Regards,
    A.Anandarajan.

    HI,
    Cost estimate is Plant specific. It is not possible to run for Deport. If you create all the deport created as Plant, then it is possible to run the estimation.

  • Freight Calculation in Standard cost Run

    Hi,
    The requirement is while doing the standard cost calculation through CK11N / CK40N system should show seperately how much is freight plan cost &; how much is duty plan cost.e.g.
    100 is material price as per condition PB00 Cost element 355100
    10 is freight cost (ZFR1 10%) Cost element 363170
    5 is duty cost (Zduty lets say 0.5%) Cost element 363171
    So taotal cost will be 115
    I wanted to get this in cost component wise. Client does not want manual intervention so do not want to go for additive cost method
    I had tried through Purchasing info record. I have maintained the valuation variant accordingly. Assigned correct sub strategy to it & also maintained delivery cost button in the same screen to assign conditions to origin group.
    Also I had maintained purchasing info record through me11 ; mainteined conditions there.
    These above mentioned cost elements are mapped in cost component  structure in T code OKTZ. Seperately for material ,freight &; duty
    Now when I make a PO, system is showing correct calculation as per the conditions.When I do the GR the Freight &; duty is getting posted &; these GLs are having above mentioned primary cost elements . .So the primary cost element is also getting posted correctly.
    Now the problem is
    While doing the cost run system shows me Seperate cost for material as 100 , seperate for freight 10 & seperate for duty 5, but to the same cost element i.e. 355100. So all the cost is shown as material cost ; nothing is displayed as freight or duty
    If I see the cost element report the corresponding value is flown to the corresponding cost element. But  it is not reflecting in proper cost component in cost run
    .Please guide me why this is happening. How can I resolve this
    Regards,
    Abhijit

    Hi Ajay,
    I was waiting for your reply.
    As mentioned by you, I have mapped my cost component structure like Raw material, Freigh, Duty & assigned the corresponding cost elements to it.. But still in itemisation view it shows three values
    consumption cost element 355100 - 100
    consumption cost element 355100 - 10  (which should go to freight component where I have assigned the Freight cost element)
    consumption cost element 355100  -5   (which should go to Duty component where I have assigned the Duty cost element)
    FI entries are getting posted correctly. Values are flown to coresponding cost elements.
    For the time being We will keep duty part side. We are discussing with client on this.
    But, what could be the reason of this problem. How I can achieve the below mentioned result.
    Cost component view
    Raw material -100
    Freight  - 10
    Duty - 5

  • Routing different from Standard Cost: Scrap Variance Calculation

    Hi,
    We have issue with Scrap Variance Calculation/WIP calculation when the Routing in the production order is different from the routing in th standard cost. When we run varaince calculation we are getting an error message saying that variance can be calculated as quantity structre of the production order is different from quantity structure of the standard cost. I understand that this is standard SAP. But routing changes seems to be pretty common acorss the Industries espcially when the demand is high and the manufacturing happens in different machines.Do any of  you had similar issues and can you share how this can be resolved.
    Thanks,Sasi

    Hi Sasi
    Go to OPR4_KKS AND OPR4_KKS1 and see... I think you can convert this msg into warning message..

  • Price calculated in a standard cost estimate

    Hi everyone,
    Would someone know how to recalculate a price in a standard cost estimate that has been released yet?
    Normally, SAP allows you to calculate a cost estimate only once per period but I would like to recalculate it for the ongoing period. Would you have any idea?
    Nb: Although it is possible, I do not want to change it manually. I would like to go through the whole process (CK11N -> CK24).
    Thanks in advance,
    Ronan

    Thanks a lot for your answer. That answers my question.
    By the way, with the transaction you gave me, you can delete a cost estimate that has be validated for the ongoing month.
    Cheers,

  • Target cost calculation in an Production order

    Hello
    Can any one guide me , how the target cost was calculated for various activities ?.  
    I believe the actual cost were pulled from the standard cost estimate . We have various activates for Labor / Quality / maintenance  etc..  we want to correct all the cost . Any input will be highly appreciated
    Thanks
    Nic

    Hi,
    You post goods receipt for the order (MB31) and the target cost will be calculated, you may try this if it will help.

  • UOM Conversions and Standard Cost Variances

    If we have the right Unit of Measure conversion defined, with standard cost in FEET and the PO ordered in METERS, will the standard cost variance calculate properly? That is, will it take into consideration a different standard cost when calculating a Purchase Price Variance?
    thanks for your response,
    Pam

    Thanks for reply. Can I use the following sequence:
    1. Opening MM period for the month of Feb on 1st Feb (so I can release cost estimate on Feb 1)
    2. Marking and releasing cost esitmate on Feb 1 (this will revalue the closing stock as well)
    3. FI & MM closing activities on Feb 1 & Feb 2, though postings in Jan is required.
    4. CO distribution and CO-PA Assessment Cycles on Feb 1 & 2 (after FI & MM closing)
    Please notice some Jan activities in Feb after cost estimate of Feb. Please comment if you suggest something else
    regards

  • Proceeding without standard costing for May08 and June08

    Hi,
    We have implemented Material Ledger here.
    The backlogs are on.
    We are still on May08 backlogs.
    We had to proceed without standard costing for May and now also for June which we would be able to finish by July 20th.
    After that we will be doing the standard costing run for July 2008 by 22nd July.
    I dont think we neeed to calculate and settle variances for May and June 2008.
    Please guide.
    Could you please guide me on what precautions that need to be taken.
    Also, when I do the actual costing (ML) run for July in August 2008, I think only the variances for July will be calculated and settled.
    Any material Ledger experts, please advise and guide.
    regards,
    Nidhi

    Hi Elaine,
    Thanks a lot for your reply.
    You are absolutely right.
    The system will not allow me to close July in ML, unless I have closed May and June.
    Also, the second option is completely ruled out. Every material has to be included in the ML run.
    For carrying out ML closing activities for previous posting periods, the note no. 361236 would help. Please advise.
    Also, Elaine, I am noticing that despite the fact that we did not do the standard costing run for May 2008, the system is using the standard cost estimate of April 2008 to calculate all variances.
    I checked the costs analysis of all process orders and the system is correctly calculating the variances for all process orders.
    So please suggest if the steps I am mentioning below are correct:
    May 2008:
    I will first calculate production variance using T code KKS1
    Then settle the production variance using: CO88
    Then I will carry out ML run for May using: CKMLCP
    May closes in Material Ledger
    June 2008:
    I will first calculate production variance using T code KKS1
    Then settle the production varinace using: CO88
    Then I will carry out ML run for June using: CKMLCP
    June closes in Material Ledger
    Then I will do the standard costing run for July 2008.
    (Also please note that we closed May and opened June in MM using MMPV, because one region is still in May backlogs while the other has started June backlogs. So the current period in MM is June and previous period is May 2008. This I guess should not have any impact on the ML run for May 2008)
    Please guide me with possible reconstruction of steps.
    Thanks a lot & regards,

  • Product Costing - Standard Cost Component Split on Multi Level BOM's

    Hi,
    We are the process of introducing SAP for all back office and manufacturing activities.
    I am currently trying to verify that the product cost calculation for Multi-Level BOMs in our Legacy system matches the cost roll up or cost estimate in SAP at not only a Total Cost Level but the cost component split must be accurate also. So far, all the costs roll up correctly at a total cost level but I have noticed one issue:
    When I run a cost estimate for a single level BOM the cost estimate will split the components accurately into Material, Labor, Fixed Overhead and Variable overhead, However, when this component is then used in the next level of manufacturing all the Labor, Fixed Overhead and Variable Overhead Cost is grouped under Material.
    Q1.) Is there a SAP setting or config change that will keep the previous Labor, Fixed OH and Variable OH cost in these categories as the material is rolled up to finished product level?
    Q2.) Is there a standard report / view where I can see the Finished Goods Standard Cost split by each of there rolled up Components? This would need to split the Total Material, Total Labor, Total Fixed OH and Total VO required to make the Finished Product. 
    Q3.) Is there a standard report / view where I can see the added value (Absorption) by component split (Labor, Fixed OH, Variable OH) for every Manufactured Part?
    Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Order settelement without standard cost estimate

    Hello,
    My Scenario MTS,
    Client doest not want to take Cost roll up (Standard cost estimate run) the price control code 'S' for all the Finish goods, Semifinish
    and raw materials.
    In this how to handle order settelment , variance calculation without standard cost estimate.
    Please provide configuration steps also.

    Hi,
    Can you let us know why your client does not want to update the std. cost price for a material?
    One of the key reasons for implementing SAP or any ERP system is to monitor the cost & value flows within the organization. Unless there is some compelling business need for it, you should strongly advise your client to go for costing of parts / assemblies.
    However if no costing is done & the std. price is '0' then if the activities have prices maintained, then when a confirmation is posted only the activity cost will be posted on the order. The variance calculated will then show only the difference if any b/n plan / target / actual activity costs, while part cost will remain zero.

  • Analysis report for standard cost in CK33N

    Hi,
    Analysis report for standard cost
    Using variant Z003 in CK11N.
    Planned cost 3 is the output used for planning and this is adjusted by making changes to the BOM throughout the process
    In CK33 you compare the 2011 cost for the product with the proposed cost for the next year.  For some parts it works and for others it splits the lines,  though the calculation is still correct.

    Hi Revital,
    I believe the last option is correct.

  • Problem with rounding in standard cost estimate.

    Hi All,
    Happy 4th of July!
    I have a problem with the standard cost estimate where the system try to calculate overhead costs (from costing sheet) with a fix percentage (9.7%) to the value coming from material consumption costs element.
    Let say I have $1.71 material consumption and the overhead rate of 9.7%
    The real calculation should be (1.71*0.097) = $0.16587
    But at CK11N screen, it shows only $0.16 (two decimal rounding)
    Is there a way that I can bump the rounding to at least 3 decimal point to make it more accurate?
    Very appreciate any input you guys can share. Thank you.
    Charitha

    Hi Chari ,
    My experience says that you can use only 2 decimals ..
    Moreover , please have a look into SAP Note : 639410 - CK11N, CK13N: Message CK869 due to rounding
    differences.
    There a some source code corrections also on rounding differences- check if it helps you also...

  • Recursive Loop Error while doing standard cost estimate

    SAP Gurus,
    We are trying to do standard cost estimate on a material and we are getting error because it is going in recursive loop even though we have used "recursive allowed" indicator for item components in the BOM. The error message numbers are CK 730 and CK 740. We are using 4.6c. I have tried the same scenario in ECC 6.0 and still I get the same problem.
    Below is my BOM structure:
    Material 10890345 (has low-level code 012)
            ---> 10867220 (has low-level code 013) and has recursive allowed indicator
    10867220
            ---> 10846733  (has low-level code 014) and has recursive allowed indicator
    10846733
            ---> 10890345 (has low-level code 012) and has recursive allowed indicator
    According to me, the BOM for material 10846733 is causing the problem.
    For some weird reason while doing the costing run for material 10890345, it s not stopping and going in a loop.10890345  and 10846733 should ideally have the same low-level code as they are recursive.
    Please help to provide some solutions at the earliest on how to avoid recursive loop during costing.

    Swapnil

    Dear,
    I have 2 things to shear with you.
    The method we followed to solve the iteration is as below
    1.Config change -
    Valuation variant in the costing variant, we changed the sequence as below
    material valuation
    4 planned price 1
    2 std price
    3 Mov ave price
    2. Material master change
    made all the semi finished goods and finished goods
    procurement type = E,
    costing with qty structure,
    Enter the planned price1
    By doing this what happens is
    when system first start the iteration, takes the planned price 1 and start iterating and next time in the second iteration it takes the calculated price from qty structure till it finds the difference between the value calculated is less than .001. Then it gives the result
    Why lot size is important is, in our case in some levels the usage is very less compared to the first material header qty and system used to stop in between  and not even reaching the last level as during the cycle it was reaching less .001 difference. may be in your case it may not be the case...just check
    Please come back after trying this. this was the only last option i had to solve the issue in my client.
    Another alternative is to have a different material for costing purpose to stop the iteration which i will not recommend as we need to do some calculation for each stage and input the cost of dummy material in each stage.
    My client is happy with the result as the difference between manual calculation and system calculation is less then .1%...this is because SAP will not consider the difference beyond .001, but in excel you get as many as decimals you want.

  • SAP allows release of Standard Cost for Material with Moving Average Price

    Hi
    We set our Raw Material to use Moving Average Price (V) and price determination 2 (single level). And we activated material ledger.
    During mass calculation of standard cost (CK40N), If user accidentally forgot to restrict the Raw Material for being included in calculation, the system calculate standard cost anyway, even though I set it as Moving Average Price. And user is able to release it too without any problem.
    Why the system does not restrict it? By giving error maybe. Although as for now I can not find the wrong effect from releasing standard cost for MAP material, by your experience, is there any side effect that I should be aware of?
    Thanks

    CK40n is mass release of all materials. The release is not dependent on price indicator of the material in the master. It will calculate standard cost of all the materials.
    Releasing standard cost estimate of raw materials does not have any side effect as long your calculation is based on moving average price.

  • Update of Price in Material Master  when standard costing is released.

    Hello SAP gurus,
    When we created standard cost estimate, various cost estimate is created in various views Cost of good sold, cost of good manufactured and Inventory ( commercial ). Different view have different cost estimate.
    But we I release costing , the material master is updated by cost estimate of Inventory ( commercial). The cost estimate from Cost of good manufactured should be update?
    I am not able to solve the above issue , please help with customizing link
    Regards,
    Anand Agrawal

    Hi Anand,
    While you configure the Cost Componenet structure you define the attributes of cost Components in OKTZ.
    When defining the cost components, you must specify whether the cost component plays a role in the creation of the different prices that are transferred into the material master record. You have the following options:
    Standard price
    Costs that are flagged as relevant for stock valuation form part of the standard price if the results of the standard cost estimate are marked and released. These costs also serve as a basis for the following:
    The calculation of target costs in variance calculation
    The valuation of scrap in variance calculation
    The valuation of work in process for the confirmed yield for the operation (order-related production, process manufacturing) or at the reporting point (repetitive manufacturing)
    Commercial price
    Costs that are flagged as relevant for inventory valulation for the purposes of commercial law form part of the commercial price. This price is calculated in an inventory cost estimate and can be written to the material master record.
    Tax price
    Costs that are flagged as relevant for inventory valuation for the purposes of tax law form part of the tax price. This price is calculated in an inventory cost estimate and written to the material master record.
    The above information will prove helpful.
