Quantity Based Overheads

Hi SAP Gurus,
I have a serious problem with Quantity Based Overheads. The client has asked for Qty Based Overheads in the last moment. And somehow it is not working properly. I have done it in ECC6 but it is not working in ECC6.
Kindly let me know any specific problem in ECC6 for calculating Qty Based Overheads.
I have done the following settings:
In costing Sheet i have given the parameters. Then in Material Master i have selected Material Origin. Then i have selected Qty indicator and given Unit of measurement in Relevant Cost Element.
URGENT. PLEASE
Solution to this problem will be suitably awarded with marks

Hi,
Good afternoon and greetings,
Please go through the following
To calculate quantity-dependent overhead rates , the units of measure must be updated in CO.
You have two options:
Set the "mangage quantity" indicator in the cost element master data.
If you wish to post different materials with different units of measure to an object (order, cost center, business process, WBS element...) under the same cost element, you must set the Material origin indicator in the costing view for the material master record. Materials with various units of measure must also differ in the "origin group" field entry.
The system only accounts for input materials and activities with units of quantity for quantity-based overhead that are updated in CO. These are the base units of measure for materials.
Conversions between units of measure
Also ensure that the Cost Center inside the Credit tab is maintained as for the Overheads it is mandatory.
Please reward points if found useful
Thanking you
With kindest regards

Quantity based overhead

Dear All,
Can we calculate overheads on the basis of quantity produced.
Standard SAP functionality of quantity based overheads is to take input qty of materials and calculate the said overheads by taking the rate maintained in the costing sheet.
My clients requirement is to calculate it on the basis of quantity produced.
Is there any work around for this.
Thanks & Regards,
Chetty

Hi Ajay,
Thanks for your reply.
I have few clarification on the above points sent.
1. The activity qty of the this act type to be same as the Base Qty in Routing... i.e. if base qty in routing is 1000, the activity qty should also be 1000
when u say activity qty of the activity type, does it mean that the plan activity which is maintained in KP26? Generally in routing we maintain the base qty as 1, if thats the case then in KP26 shall we maintain same 1 qty for the overhead calculation.
2.Set up the work center formula in such a way that the act qty is completely variable.... i.e. If you confirm 500 qty in Prod order for the header material, same 500 qty would be proposed for this act type... Dont change this activity qty during confirmations
can u pls clarify me on this: "Dont change this activity quty during confirmations"? is it in KP26 or during confirmation in CO11n
Pls provide clarifications
Thanks & Regards,
Chetty

HI,
the notes describe what to do if your SAP release is 4.6 or lower and if it is higher than 4.6. So it can be used even if you use the last ERP-version available. Also check the related notes within the 2 notes above and note 135028 for general explanation regarding "current settings".
best regards, Christian

Quantity based cost sheet

Hello
Can anyone help me to understand how Quantity based cost sheet works.
Pleaze also suggest me how I can use Quantity based cost sheet for fixed
overhead for Power and gas ?
Please help , this is very urgent for me.
regards
Somendra N Dey

Hi,
In Quantity based overhead in detail screen you have to give Amount and quantity. for example if for 1000 quantity amount may be Rs100. You can maintain different overhead rate and dependency as per Amount and quantity for Individual transactions.
In costing sheet you can maintain both Quantiy based and also % oerhead rate. for example Material overhead may be take Quantity based and production oerhead may be take % rate in costing sheet.

Prepaid RA with Quantity Based Method

I have a scenario in result analysis as follows:
1.     The customer pays the full amount at the start of the project (prepaid).
2.     Before we incur costs this billed amount has to be deferred.
3.     Once we start booking T&M to the project we would recognize the revenue based on a POC method.
4.     We want the POC method to be quantity based. e.g. Planned hours divided by actual hours
How do we configure this scenario?

Gokul - I used RA method 05 - Quantity based POC method. In expert mode refer SAP note number 765748, create a line id STD and assign category "K" and the unit of measure "Hours" to the line ID "STD".create a statistical key figure ABGMNG in trans KK01. then iImplement Note 544420 for corrections, Create the customer enhancement 2 (Note 26957).
The above is for qty based RA. Now for prepaid instead of invoicing the DMR invoice the main sales order during the first month. once you run RA and settlement the entire amount is deferred. from next month onwards the accruals will happen based on cost of sales with corresponding deferrals
Thanks

How to cummulate the quantity based on the date condition?

hi,
     In my query,i need to cummulate the open quantity based on the two date condition.
If my Schedule line date > system date, i need to cummulate the open quantity.
      But in my query level i am getting 0 or 1 based on the above condition.
      i am struggling to cummulate the open qty based on the above condition.
    can any body throws an idea to resolve my issue.
Regards,
ravi.

Thanks for suggestion,Almost i narrow down my issue to get the proper result.
But i have one doubt.
Is it possible to user Formula variable (Processing by replacement path-Reference char as Scheduline date) in my Calculated Key Fig calculation.?? But here i am created Scheduline date as Characher infoobject.
Actually i am created Scheduline date as Character InfoObject,If i am using the following condition like
(Schedule line date > system date) its throwing "X" value.
For the above issue,if i am changing the Scheduline date as Key figure InfoObject means i will get the proper output for the condition(Schedule line date > system date) either 0 or 1.
Is it correct????

Ravi.

Get acitivity quantity based on period in table COSL

Hello All,
I have one query.. regarding selecting activity quantity based on period entered in selection screen of select-options.
suppose period is 2 then activity quantity would be LST002, and if period is 4 then LST004.. .....if period= 6 , then LST006.... so on....... but the problem is there are total 17 activity quantity in table COSL and if I code for 'IF'stattement or 'CASE' statement it is goes long coding .. please suggest some other way to get this .

Simplest way:
Use case statement, coding will be bit more but its simplest to maintain.
Another Way:
You can use DO loop.
DO 17 times.
concatenate 'LST0' counter in lv_variable.
....Process logic here..
END DO.
When you concatenate strings and store value 'ITAB-LST001' in your variable, you can access value in that variable as: ( lv_variable ).
so lv_variable = ITAB-LST001 and ( lv_variable ) = 1000.00
Best Way:
You can use field symbol. Similar to 2nd way. Search SDN and you get loads of info about using field symbols.
thnx,
Keep ABAPing.

Quantity based discounts, apart from scales?

Hi,
Another question that I could not readily answer.
Apart from using "Scales" is there any other way of giving "Quantity" based discounts to a customer.
Just for the sake of clarity.
Normally, we would maintain scales and give the customer scaled based discounts, right?
Example:
001 -100 lets say 5% discount or 5 USD discount (whatever)
101 -150 lets say 6% discount or 6 USD discount (whatever)
151 -200 lets say 7% discount or 7 USD discount (whatever)
My question, is there a way other than above mentioned example(scales) of giving the customer a "Quantity" based discounts.
Thanks in advance,
Raj SAP SD_Newbie

The mentioned approach is the easiest way.
Other approaches would be,
1) manually adding discounts in the pricing procedure by the user when he/she process a sales order.
2) add a routine in alternative calculation type column against the discount condition type in the pricing procedure. The discounts details can be stored in a z-table and the routine can read the discount detail from this table.

Quantity Based Budgeting

Hi ,
I have a project requirement where we require quantity based budgeing , this is to meet the Business requirement as follows
for project execution we need 100MT of concrete that cost me 10000AED for eg , i.e 100 AED/MT, so the system will check against 10000 AED and restrict it once it is achived.
but due to market fluctuation if cement prices go high suppose 110 AED/MT then in available budget we can procure 90 MT which is a shortfall of 10MT .
is there any workaround or a way to meet this requirement.
thanks in advance
Hemant

Not possible. Only thing you can do is develop a Quantity variance report.

Quantity based Over Heads Calculation

Hi SAP Gurus,
I am trying to calculate Quantity Based Over Heads. But the system is calculating wrongly. In the sense, the OH amount is equal to the total amount of all the line items in the costing sheet above this line item. Which is wrong.
Actually i have calcuated Qty Based OHs in ECC5 and it had worked perfectly. Now i have done the same settings in ECC6. But system is taking some wrong base for this.
I have rechecked all my settings and also shown to some of my friends. But of no use
Can any one will help me in this regard.
Ponts will be awarded suitable
Thanks in advance
Surya
