Quarterly Cost estimation - Production Costing - Costing Run

Dear Experts,
is it possible to run CK40N on quarterly basis - at presrnt we are using this function on monthly basis, but my client is asking to run this on quarterly basis.
if yes please help me
Regards

Costing run will update standard costs and there will be any change in std costs only when say the quantity structure changes, BOM changes or overhead rates changes. If none of the above is changing, running CK40N will have no impact
Which means that you can choose to run in quarterly as well.

  • Short Dump while executing costing run or production orders

    Hi Guys,
    While executing the costing run or production orders saving, we are getting short dump.  it is the debugging is showing its fingers at A035 which is related to maintenance of overhead rates.
    We have maintained the overhead rates correctly. There is no issue.
    This could be some thing related to OSS notes as well.
    Just wanted to know if it has got something to do with OSS notes or something else.
    Please throw some light in this regard
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    In what program there is a dump? I mean, what is the log saying?

  • Releasing of Production Order without Cost-Run

    Dear Sir,
    We want to incorporate a check in the system so that no Production-Order should be released unless the Manufactured component (component being manufactured in the Production Order)  has the proper cost run . By proper cost run mean that standard cost for the component is greater than 0 .
    Kindly guide us . Full marks are asssured for the suggested solution please .

  • How to calculate fixed cost for by-product in costing run?

    Dear,
    We want to have some fixed cost calculated for by-product B in costing run.
    Our current practise,  we only calculate the delivery cost as variable cost for this by-product B in the costing run for B. The by-product B is a component in the BOM of finish product A.
    However, we need some fixed cost to be countered in for by-product B, which can be by controlled by us.
    Any thought?
    Thank you all in advance.
    Christina.

    Dear,
    You have to maintain  BOM Usage-Costing-6 i.e., Costing BOM with all your required  Fixed Cost related Material components and assign it  in the by-product Material Master to include the Fixed Cost in by-product Standard Cost Estimate.  Based on this setting, system will calculate Standard Cost Estimate with this Fixed Cost and display in the related reports.

  • Production Version in costing run.

    Dear all,
    We are using 3 production versions for a single material. We have made costing run for all the 3 versions. But we found the system considering the last production version in the costing run. we need all the three production versions to be used ,so kindly suggest how to go with .
    When we run CK24, there is no option to select the version. Even if we have the option, please tell us how the cost will get updated in the material master for all the 3 production versions.
    Thanks & Regards,
    A.Anandarajan.

    Hi,
    I think you want to have a costing, which considers a mix of different ways of producing a product. Here you want to have a mix of the 2 production versions. To do this, you need to use use what we call 'mixed costing'. Here you can define a 'mix' of
    different ways to build a product. In abstract X% of method A and Y% percent method B. What I called 'method A' or method 'B' is what you now call a prod.version. In SAP mixed costing it is called 'Procurement Alternative'. I think this is the right tool to solve your problems.
    For further documentation see:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en//7e/cb938143a311d189ee0000e81ddfac/frameset.htm
    The method you are using now 'costing with prod.version A' and 'costing with prod.version B' lets the last costing be the winner, because the last one overwrites the results of the predecessor.

  • Costing run for co-product

    Hi friend,
    I have 5 different finished materials each having 2  same co-products. i could do the costing run for the finished materials, but how to the costing run and standard cost estimate ( i.e ck11n and ck40n) for the 2 co-products. the co-products does not have BOM and routing.
    Regards,
    Arun kumar R V

    Hi
        Sub  Co-Product will be costed based on 'Apportionment and Source structure' which is  maintained in Main Co-product material master.
    For example material 'A' has two co-products 'B' and 'C'.
    BOM and Routing will be maintained for material 'A' only.
    (BOM will contains 'Rawmaterials as well as co-products')
    In Material Master of 'A' we have to maintain  how to apportion this Qty structure of A to B and C also.For which we required source structure  which is need to create in IMG.

  • Cost estimate/costing run

    Hi
    What is the difference between cost estimate and costing run?
    Thanks,
    Nivi

    Hello Ram,
    There are 3 steps in Costing Procedure. They are
    1. Creation of cost estimate
    2. Marking of cost estimate
    3. Release  of cost estimate
    Once you release cost estimate, then only system will update the required fields in the database and can be used for transactions.
    Hence, cost estimate means, it is just estimated total cost of the product and Costing Run means which inclusive of all the above three steps to complete the total process.
    Please let me know if you require any further clarifications.
    Thank you,

  • CK11n Costing Run does not pull purchasing price from info record.

    Hi,
    I have material which is a semi finished product (Material type: SEMI) and is purchased from a fixed vendor (specified in the source list).
    The costing run does not pick up the purchasing price from the purchasing info record but
    instead incorrectly picks up the standard price from the material master (Costing 2 view).
    Can you please help me solve this issue?
    Thanks,
    Ketan

    Change View Valaution Variant Detail Screen Appears
    In Material Valuation Tab Set Price from Purchase Inforecord as Priority 1 if you want to use Price from Purchase Inforecord for semi-finished product during CK11N
    You can list down Priority 2 to 5 depending on your requirement
    This would solve your problem

  • Costing Run If RM has zero value

    Dear Friends,
    My client is going to get Raw material from parent compnay on free of cost. Now that mateial has 0 price.  This material is the part of production of finished good.
    Now If I run cost estimate or costing run then system is giving error message "" No price could be determined for material/batch xxxxxxxx"".
    How I can do this thing that free of cost raw material (has std./MAP=0) should be the part of bom and  cost estimate/costing run can be run sucessfully for finished goods.
    If with zero value it is not possible then how I can do , please sugget if possible by some setting in PP/CO.
    Thanks
    Ravi

    Dear Ravi,
    Check with this steps.
    1.Either set the check box for do not cost in the costing 1 view for that material in the material master.
    2.If this is not working means,you can remove the costing relevancy indicator for that material in the BOM,just double click on
    the item number of that particular material whose value is zero and you can find this field under the status/long text tab page.
    Check and revert back.

  • Mock costing run not updating with recipe changes to labor and overhead

    We have made changes to the labor and overhead values assigned to a master recipe.  We are trying to determine what the new standard cost will be when we do our costing run at the end of the the month.  However,  when we do our mock costing run using CK40N it does not reflect the changes we made to the labor and overhead it still pulls in the old values.  We have tried this in our test system on several other products and it has worked for some materials but not others.  I don't think it matters but the material we are costing is a semi finished good.  Any ideas?

    Problem has been resolved.  Thank you!

  • Restrict all goods movements for materials untill the latest costing run ex

    Hi dudes,
    1 here i have a requirement that i need to restrict all goods movements in the month for all materials(SFG,FG) untill the latest costing run(standard cost estimate) on 1st of each month.
    2. Can we restrict the status of process order in such a way that Conformation can be done only after the goods issues against production order. The goods receipt can be done only after the conformation of the process order.
    Thanks in advance.
    Robert.

    Robert,
    Procedurally you can block, by not opening the current period, before the costing run is completed, just when you wanted to release the cost estimate, at that time you can lock all users and then open the next period and then release your cost estimate and then unlock all the users. You need to work with your Basis/MM/FICO guys to have this procedure implemented.
    On the GI Check before confirmation and Confirmation check before GR, you can use Confirmation and GR releated User exits to check. There are many posts on this topic, a simple search on this forum would take you to the thread.

  • Delete cost run & reset release for current month

    For our client we have created a new plant while testing this plant user created a material and they have done a cost run in ck11n  with costing varient zv01 but in they released the cost with costing varient ppc1 with this system got inconsistency and not not allowing to release cost for any other material in the current month if we try to mark it for next month it is working fine.
    we deleted the cost run through ck44 & ckr1 then also we are faceing the same problem. Kindly give me the solution how can i reset the release and later i want to run the ck11n & ck24 for material in the current month  to do  the production cycle.  please consider this is as a urgent.
    Regards
    Chakravarthy

    Hi
    Whether you should do MR21 or not ??
    a. If the cost estimate you reversed belongs to Last month and you are going to post the GR in last month then you should do MR21
    b. if the cost estimate you reversed belongs to may and GR will also be posted in May - No need for Mr21... Because, even though you release cost on say, may 2nd, the cost always gets released from the Start of the Month

  • Prerequisites for costing run

    Can anybody tell me the prerequisites for costing run..
    I thought the requisites are BOM and routing only.. Is there anything else..
    What is a Product cost collector... Please explain the importance of the same..

    Pre - Requisites for costing Run :
    1. Material Master With costing view
    2. BOM
    3. Routing.
    4. Workcentre ( with cost centre / Activity type)
    Once when  you have all the master data then a costing variant should is required.
    this is at configuration level.
    Product Cost collector:
    1. these are used in the Repetivite manufacuting sceenarion.
    2. in Rem we dont have individual production orders, we willcreate one produce cost collector for the material/plant /production version combination.
    3. This actually genarates a CO order
    4. This product cost colletor becomes the central point for collection of all cost related to that material
    5. All the costs collected here will be settled to the material periodicaly..
    6. You can create PCC with kkf6n.
    Kindly let me know ur feedback

  • Costing run and activity allocation

    hi,
    as there is a costing run (routing) to get the cost, may i know why still need to do direct or indirect activity allocation ; actual assessment ; actual distribution?
    thanks
    rgds

    hi,
    Costing run and activity allocation are two different processes..... 
    the former calculates the cost of a product
    whereas the later distirbutes the cost among various heads as you want to

  • Error in the Transaction CK64 - Costing Run (CK 318 and CK 361)

    Hi Everybody,
    Please, when I use the transaction CK64 to costing run, i see the following message of error:
    1) First Error: CK 318
    CK 318 -  Cost estimate for material & contains errors -> Planned price
    CAUSE                                                                   
    When an assembly was valuated, the system found that the cost component   
    split of material component &V1& from plant &V2& contains errors.         
    SYSTEM_RESPONSE
    The cost component split with errors is not changed.  Instead,            
    valuation is carried out with a price from the material master.  This     
    result goes into the cost rollup.  This happens so that the costing       
    result of the finished product is still meaningful.                       
    </>Note</> The subsequent valuation is always with valuation variant     
    &V3&.  Valuations with a manual cost component split are not taken        
    into account.  This affects the following two cases:                      
    strategy '8': valuation with manual cost component split                  
    the possibility to calcualte manual cost component splits in addition     
    to the valuation strategy entered.                                        
    WHAT_TO_DO
    Analyze the cost component split with errors and solve them.     
    Where can I found the "cost component split"? Would be a information of Data master material (MM03)?
    2) Second Error: CK 361
    Value of costing item & in itemization is 0
    CAUSE
    The cost estimate for the assembly contains item &V2&, which has no 
    errors, but was costed with a value of zero.                        
    WHAT_TO_DO
    Please check item &V1& in the itemization of the assembly concerned.
    Where can i found this information of itemization??? I was looking in the data master of the material but i can't find. 
    Please, how can I solve this problems?
    The status of the costing run for this materials is "KF - Costed with errors"

    Thank you Rob. I guess our only option is to call each steps of CK40N by separate transactions. Do you know why when calling CK64 (costing) in background, the transaction in BDC will automatically change to CK40N even CK64 is hard-coded?
    Thank you very much for your advice.

  • How to eleminate unused master data from Costing Run?

    Dear
    We have some material codes that we do not use for material type HALB & FERT. But they keep appearing in MM60 . what can be done to remove them from MM60?
    These unused materials appear in the costing run ck40n. They create costing error/ discrepancy etc. How to get rid of it? If I activate deletion flag for these materials will they stop appearing in costing run?
    Thanks
    Chandra

    Dear Chandra,
    1.MM60 is only a report for the list of materials and here if you include the check box for valuated materials then the system
    displays only the materials that have the accounting data,and for a proper list of materials I suggest you to fetch either from the
    table or else via a query using MARA,MARC.
    2.In case if you dont want to cost certain materials set the indicator on for do not cost in the costing 1 view of the material
    master.
    3.Also in my understanding CK40N will be run for the FERT materials and in this only the BOM component's HLAB and ROH
    materials will be normally included in the costing and the error come only for the BOM component's and related to operation.
    4.So instead of running it for the entire plant,input the Finishes products andf the plant combination and check the same,the no
    of errors may get reduced.
    Check with this and revert back.
