Question on costing BOM

Dear all,
I have a question on BOM Usage Type. We know that when the BOM Usage Type is 1 (Production) and when we have different alternative BOM's, Alternative BOM's are picked up by the Production version (based on lot size and other criteria).
Now the Question is:
When the BOM Usage Type is 6 (costing) and there are several alternatives BOM present for the same header material, where and how exactly are the alternative BOM's used in Costing. Because when the BOM usage type is 6 (costing), it will be not considered for the production but only considered for Costing. So the use of Prouduction version will not be there as there wont be any master recipe for production.
So similar to production version, there should be something which will pick up the alternative BOM for costing purpose. Please let me know on the same. It will also be great if a SAP help link on the same is shared.

Brijesh

Hi,
check the following
While doing the costing run, SAP checks if you have maintained the "Production version to be considered for costing" MARC-FVIDK field in Costing View. It will use this Prodn Version for cost estimate.
If you have not maintained the production version field, then it will use the values maintained in the "Quantity structure data" section on costing view. I.e. it will use the BOM alternative. and recipe information from here.
If you have not maintained above values then system picks up the first BOM alternative (MAST table) and first recipe information (MAPL table) it finds for the material-plant combination.
Also according to my knowledge SAP cannot decide the Lot Size for Prodn Version while doing the costing run. You need to tell the system what data to be used for costing.
While standard cost estimate, In CK11n screen at Quantity structure tab you can choose, the required BOM and routing combination.
Like this you can have cost estimates for different combinations. But you can release only one.

Production consumption variance w.r.t. Costing BOM

Dear Sir / Madam,
Our client is using BOM usage 1 as well as BOM usage 6 i.e., Production BOM and Costing BOM.
Consumption of Raw materials and MRP happens based on the BOM usage 1.
Costing of FG happens using BOM usage 6.
Users want to have a variance report between the actual raw materials consumed v/s the BOM components in the Costing BOM in value as well as quantity basis.
If the costing BOM says 100 components and the production consumption happens for 110 components then the difference must be highlighted to them in the variance report.
We have ML activated. Kindly help.

Hi
1. Create one more costing variant and valuation variant...
The Qty Structure Control in this Costing Variant should refer to Costing BOM
Also, assign this costing variant to Version 1...
2. Run Cost estimate using this Costing Variant and save it in Planned Price 2 or 3 field
3. Create Version 0 and Version 1 for target cost calculation (IMG > CO > Prod Csting > Cost Obj Contr > Prod cost by order > Variance calculation)
Version 0 will be based on Costing variant which releases Std Cost
Version 1 will be based on Valuation variant which releases the cost to Planned Price Field

Costing BOM usage

Hi Experts,
Please explain me with some examples what is the use of " BOM usage (6)costing BOM".
I have the following scenario where i was trying to use the Costing BOM concept.
To produce material 'A', I need component 'B' and 10 other consumable materials.
For the cost estimation purpose, the client wants to put the consumables in the BOM.
The production of A is happening like this, Prod. Order qty of A is 100000 Meter.
The confirmation of A will be taken place partially like 500 m, 700m, 900m...etc.
When i do the confirmation, Auto GR for material A and consumption of components by 261 movement type will be taken place.
Here i can monitor what is the actual consumption of component B and i will enter during confirmation. So that i can get the Plan Vs Actual quantity.
But for consumables i can not monitor what is the actual consumption since it is very less quantity and it will be filled in the tank as a bulk quantity.
Please thro' some light on the following 2 queries,
1.In the costing BOM i will put all the consumables and in Production BOM i will put only the prime material, how to avoid the Variance during every confirmation?
2.If i don't put the consumables in the BOM, i added it in the Costing sheet, and i am issuing all to Cost center by 201 movement type. In this case how to take the Plan Vs Actual variance?
Thanks in Advance.

Dear Balamurugan,
Check out this,
Generally the Production BOM will be used for production as well as costing.Production in the sense which
will be used for running MRP or for creating a planned order or else a production order.
If you want to create a BOM for a material just for doing the cost calculation or if your company wants to
know the cost split up alone means then you can create a BOM using the usage 6,where the same will not
be considered for production that's in particular for running MRP.In case if you want to restrict that one
should not run MRP for a material which has a BOM (which has only Costing BOM) then in this case it will
be helpful.

Costing Bom

Dear Sir or Madam,
We have repetitive manufacturing set up and the costing is always based production BOM. Now we are planning to switch over to costing BOM. Even though the priorities are set up in costing configuration to selection costing BOM the system by default selects production BOM. I made the changes in product costing quantity structure, BOM selection, BOM usage.
Is there anything else I have to do from the logistics side.

Hi,
BOM Usage
This key defines the area (such as engineering/design, production or costing) where a BOM can be used.
Use
Data is entered and edited according to organizational area.
The BOM can be displayed for a specific usage.
Procedure
Enter the usage for which you want to enter or edit the BOM.
For costing BOM, use usage as 6.
This BOM will be used by costing department only and will not participate in Production activities like in Planned orders or Production orders.

Material Error in PO and Costing BOM

Hello,
Am having error when am using a certain material in creating production order error is "In-House production is not intended for material 50 status inactive Prod. : DSS only" this same material also encountered error in changing Costing BOM error is "material status Z4 inactive prod.: DSS only does not allow BOM maintenance". what thus this error mean and how could this material be used with this transaction?
Please guide and help me solve this.
Thanks and Regards,
JJ

Hello,
You will find the Material Status in Basic Data 1 View as well as in MRP1 View (apart from other places)..\
For this material, it Seems that the status restricts the Material is Mat. Cost Estimate Procedure as "B"
And Production Order Header also "B" (Error Message).
One thing I would recommend is please check why this status is put?
Whether some one is intentionally put this status for any business reason?
or Blocked this material altogether?

Siva

JDE World / Actual Costed BOM ( not standard ) Manufacturing

Hello,
I was wondering if any of you knew if JDE had the capability to report an actual costed BOM.
We are running LOT control on 90% of our products and would like to report an actual cost for each LOT / work order.
This would include,
Actual labour collected through Kronos
Actual price paid for a piece part (we may have paid premium on a particular lot)
This would then give me the actual cost of a unit which I can then compare against price sold and report profit and loss at part number work order level.
Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan

Dear Janos Noll ,
Can you please share with me, what goes wrong for SAP B1 community members if SAP provides this feature in B1 ?
I believe SAP is intrested in SAP B1 Product Ehanancement, that is why SAP has created this forum upfront.
Personally I believe that there is far gap between quality of SAP product and Add-On developed by other agencies.
When Customer is spending money on SAP brand name they must receive the same quality all to gather.
Hope you understand and support me on this DRQ. I strongly believe it is of utmost importance for SAP B1 community members that includes, Partners,Consultants,Customer and last but not the least SAP.
Thanking you in advance,

Costing Bom Cencept

I have a query that In chemical Industries Recovery process Mother Liquor which is byproduct comes from the centrifuge we have reprocessed it and getting recovered solvent and used this recovred solvent in the same process ,by doing this we save our Fresh Solvent Cost we are getting costing benefit of using this in Process Order for this there is one concept of *COSTING BOM* , anybody having idea about this in SAP.

Visahl
If I understood you correctly, the solution is as below...
1) create the BOm of your FG including the Mother Liquor (as by-product) recovered solvent & Fresh Solvent as your raw material with alternate grouping & appropriate usage probability( e.g 80:20)
Upon confirmation you will be getting by-product mother liquor & consuption will happen of recovered solvent & Fresh Solvent according to the settings done for alternate group.
2) create another BOM for recovered solvent within which mother liquor will be a RM & procee this through order. you will have the stocks of recovered solvent to use in process 1)
This will also take effect of appropriate costing issues you are facing.

The question about cost element

business scenario:
1,now create a blended activity type rate that includes three costs(water + electricity, etc...). That way, when confirm an activity, it have all the costs taken care of. However, here three costs will goto a single cost element.
question: after confirmation, how to translate the cost into original three cost element?
Please explain me all the steps to be required.
Thanks in advance!

Use Costing sheet to book the cost of Water, Electricity etc. to different Cost Elements.
1. T.code: OPL1, select the costing variant that has been mantained in the T. Code OPUV "CstgVariantPlan".
2. Go to the valuation variant in control tab of the costing variant.go to the overhead tab and click on the costing sheet.
3. Inside the costing sheet select the costing sheet and check the base for that costing row. Here you ca see that the cost element range or the Groups are mentioned so any cost that is hitting these cost elements will be used for the calculation of the overhead and that will be calculated and distributed based on the overhead rate and the will be loaded on the credit cost element.

Costing BOM and Mixed Costing

A product which is manufactured in-house has more than one production version. Each production version has its own BOM and Recipe. To calculate a blended standard cost, we will use mixed costing functionality and assign ratio to each production version. However we want to copy the BOM usage 1 (production) to BOM usage 6 (costing) and make changes only for costing purpose.
Hence each production version will have a BOM for production and equivalent BOM for Costing as follows:
Production Version/Procurement alternative
BOM for Production
BOM for Costing
1
Usage 1 / Alternative 1
Usage 6 / Alternative 1
2
Usage 1 / Alternative 2
Usage 6 / Alternative 2
If a process order is created with Usage 1 /Alternative 1, how does the system know to compare actual cost with procurement alternative with Usage 6 / Alternative 1 for the purpose of variance calculation?
Thank you,
Siva

Hi
Welcome to SDN
You dont have option to specify the Valuation type in BOM i.e. in the BOM of B, you can only specify A as the Input material... You cant specify C1 or C2
Hence, as a result, costing uses only the average price of C1 and C2 which is maintained in the Mat Master as a PLanned price
MIxed Costing as well as Split Valuation for Material B makes no sense in this case....
If you still want to have Mixed Costing & Splt Valuation in this case - You need to create one more material for Mat A i.e. Separate Mat codes for C1 and C2.. however, it will have its own challenges during MRP as to which material should be ordered, etc

Material Ledger Actual costing - fully costed BOMs and variance type split

We are in the process of activating material ledger and have 2 user
requirements that we have not yet been able to complete. First, the
difference between standard cost and weighted average cost needs to be
split between the variance types (raw material purchase price, raw
material usage, packaging price, packaging usage, etc.). Secondly we
need a fully exploded cost itemization that supports the weighted
average cost, similar to the costing structure pane in transaction
ck13n.
Do you know of any custom developement that might assist us in these
requirements, or have any information that might help us develop a
process to calculate these values ourselves.
Thanks

Transfer posting for sales order stock questions. Propose BOM components?

Hello
We are working with a third party subcontracting scenario (SD item category TAB/sched line CB), where a Subcontracting PO (item cat L/acc assign M) gets generated.
At MB1B, I perform a 412E movement to issue components to a sales order.
When I issue components to the sales order, I need to manually enter the component and quanity. I would like the system to propose the component quantity, similar to when I do a movement 541 to a subcontractor.
Is this possible? Any advice would be greatly appreciated !!!
Regards
Ken

Hi
Goto Transaction Code, VOV6--> Choose Sch.Line catagory, CB> Go in to detail--
>There you maintain PR Doc.Type as NB, Acc.***.Catagory as "M" and Itemcatagory as "L",then after completing the sale order, Automatically PR will be created with item cat L and acc assign M ....
Then create PO by refering this PR...
(Before that make sure that you have maintained the link bet. Acc.***.Catagory as "M" and Itemcatagory as "L" in OLME-->Accout Assignment--
> Define combination of Acc.***.Catagory and Item catagory
and also In OLME-->Purchase Requisition---->Define document types -
>you have to maintain the link for converting this PR into PO...)
If you have already maintained BOM, then in PO---> Material data tab---> the BOM will be automatically exploded.
Then you can issue these items to SC Vendor in Transaction code. ME2O
Hope I have cleared your doubts
Reward if useful

Question about costs of Wifi on iPhone?

Do you have to pay to go on wifi, even your home wifi, on your iPhone?
Cheers
Jamie Skinner

Hi Jamie
Firstly, you do not have to pay to go on your home WiFi, however if you have a bandwidth limit/month then obviously you will be eating into that on your iPhone the same as a computer. Whether you have to pay for other WiFi depends on where you are. The Cloud network in the UK gives iPhone users free access so again no costs there, if you want to log onto other networks charges may apply, but you can't incur charges for trying. A lot of hotels will charge you up front for a password for their access, again if you are unable to connect without the password then you can't incur any charges.
EDGE is also free for iPhone users so if you are unable to find any WiFi then EDGE or the slower GPRS are also free.
Be careful, however, if you travel abroad and are roaming away from O2 coverage. Most advise turning Data Roaming off whilst abroad to avoid large data bills when returning home.

Question on Exploded BOM when copy the contract.

Hi ,
I have a contract xyz with BOM main component material and sub components materials.
when i create contract XYZ,sub component materials are hide, if i save the contract and open the contract those subcomponents materials will open (explode) and show in the screen.
Now I try to create a contract (type Zxx ) with a contract reference (type Zxx ) .For now I have an issue because in my new contract the system re-explode the BOM which I donu2019t want.
Please guide me how to overcome this problem.
Thanks
Kiran

Hi,
and also please check the Item category for that document type
In item category also we can maintain BOM details
