R12: Cost Method in Inv Setup Org Params Costing Information

Can someone confirm my suspicion that the Costing Method field in Inventory > Setup > Organization Parameters > Costing Information tab DOES NOT APPLY to OPM "process enabled" organizations?
The actual costing method for OPM is determined by the Cost Type that is setup within OPM Financials and assigned to the OPM Cost Calendar.
Just curious if the Costing Method field has any affect (good, bad, or ugly) whatsoever with the OPM setup...

Yes, I'm pretty sure it has no meaning when you enable an org as process mfg. I can't get into conventional item costs when org is OPM enabled - it gives a message. The OPM costs are stored in another table to normal costs and it makes sense that you can't have an OPM and a discrete cost for the same item in the same org as only one cost can make it through to the GL.

  • Change costing method from Moving Average to Standard costing

    Hi Expert
    I need to find out the prerequisites for changing the valuation method of an item from Moving average to Standard costing.

    It would be greatly appreciated if i can get a reply ASAP
    Thank you

    Hi Son
    Let me rephrase my previous question as i have asked it incorrectly.
    Step 1. Make all quantities of the stock zero and also close all Open PO, SO etc
    Step 2. change the inventory valuation method
    Step 3. Enter new stock prices for the standard cost through stock revaluation. My question is can this be (step 3) done through DTW
    Thank you

  • Average Cost Method

    Hi all
    - I'm starting a test for an average cost method Organizations, (Inventory,Purchasing ,Order Management)
    -Is it necessary to enter the receipts and issues day by day to keep the Financial Transactions posted from the issue by correct averge cost calculated
    as i know the Issuing Txn is:
    Dr : COGS (Item Qty * Average Cost Calculated)
    Cr : INV (Item Qty * Average Cost Calculated)
    Regards

    Since you are using average costing, time has impact. for example, If you have PO for an item with 2 different Prices.PO1 and PO2. Once you receive the PO1, your average cost is to be based on PO1.so if you delayed the receipt, the true cost is not reflected for the txn occurred on the day at which PO1 is received. Similarly assume that if you receive PO2 , and making entry of PO1 and PO2 in the same day. The average cost is calculated on the day of entry. But the cost is not reflected for the transactions that were done earlier to the receipt of PO1PO2. In this case, your objective of using average cost is lost. So it is necessary to receive the Items into stock as quick as possible.(Set dead lines for inspection, receiving into stock..etc),

  • Using Perpetual Weighted Average  (PPAC) as costing Method in R12.1.1

    I have setup a company having two operating units both using same ledger and same calendar. One of the operating unit is using Period Moving Average Costing (PMAC) and the other one is using Perpetual Weighted Average (PPAC). Both operating units have manufacturing organizations where batches are being created and cost of finish product is based on the ingredients consumption of the batch. My issue is that I cannot figure out how the cost is being computed for an item that has been produced from a production batch using the PPAC method. For the PMAC, I can see that it is using previous month balance and cost and compute it with current transactions data. But for PPAC, it is difficult to analyse the cost, and the only explanation from oracle note said that the calculations is based on all transactions within ALL period in the costing calendar. How will I calculate the cost for a specific item if the calendar started from July 2009. Should I compute the cost for an item for all transaction from July 2009 until April 12 ? Should I keep different calendar for each financial year or only one calendar is enough?

    I just waring you to be careful about PPAC.
    1. The value cost adjustment and unit cost adjustment will use to calculate item cost in single period only.
    2. Cost revaluation will make you can't reconcile between GL amount and inventory valuation.
    3. If your stock is 0 at the end of period your GL amount will still have value but inventory valuation is 0.

  • FIFO costing method - what table ?

    Hi all,
    I got one child org. which is on FIFO costing method and I got the standard report from Oracle which show the total value of the item.
    Now, I'm intend to write a report to show the details on what value the system will picked up individually when there is a move order/ issue that happened. What are the tables that involved when there is a move order/ issue for the item. I can see
    mtl_cst_actual_cost_details which has new_cost, prior_cost & actual_cost. But when come to move order/issue the actual_cost was average up. I can't see the FIFO picking up ?
    Please advise.

    Hi,
    What Nagamohan have suggested is the best solution. But take in mind the following steps need to completed for changing the costing method.
    1) Create a new inventory organization with new costing method
    2) Move the items & onhand quantity from old inventory org to the new inventory organization
    3) Issue out the onhand quantity from old inventory organization
    4) Migrate the bill of materials if any to new inventory organization.
    5) Migrate the routings if any to new inventory organization
    6) Take care of open Purchase Orders, Sales Orders and Jobs.
    7) Modify the custom reports which is referring to the old inventory organization.
    If transaction history is required that need to be migrated in addition to that.
    Thanks,

    Question 2:
    CO guy complaints that there are missing PIR and source list for following type of material setup in material master:
    A) procurement type - F, Special procurement - blank (i.e. third party)
    B) procurement type - F, Special procurement - NON-blank (i.e. can be intercompany, subcontract, vendor consignment),
    Hence Costing run unable to determine the price. Is it a valid complaints

    Hi,
    Though Costing is realted to the price control , cost lot size and valuation class in Material master.

  • Rollup Issue On Average Costing Method

    Hi,
    I want to understand correctly the meaning of the rollup on 'Average' costing method.
    As I understand it, the rollup is meaningful on 'standard' costing method, when I change the costs for some/all items, and I wanted to update the cost of the items parents appropriately.
    But in the 'average' costing, if I change the cost for some child item, the cost of the parent will changed by the average by the time.
    When I use the rollup on 'Average' costing method ?
    Thanks.

    hi,
    u cannot perform rollup on average costing method.

  • Cost Centres inherited from the Org.

    Hello Experts,
    Please help.
    I Have to pull a report asap that lists all org units with their cost centres and cost distributions and I have to indicate where the cost centre / cost distribution was inherited from another org.  I also have to show which org the cost centre / cost distribution was inherited from.
    What is the best way to pull this data?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    regards,
    Jeanette

    S_AHR_61016528 with evaluaton path OMACC_D works to show the account assignment and the inheritance however it doesn't show the cost distribution.  Is there another evaluation path I can use to get the cost distribution and it's inheritance?
    Thanks again.

  • Costing Method / Work in Process

    Hi,
    If you want to calculate WIP then use 01 Method otherwise if you want to recognize revenues then use 03 method.
    But the client should come from the client whether they want to see WIP or accrued revenues in FI.

  • Changing the GL Cost Method in the Fiscal Policy

    Hi all,
    I would like to know what will be the effects if I change the GL Cost Method in the Fiscal Policy. My client wants to go from PPAC to Lot Costing. But I will also want to know what will be the effects if I go from an average cost method to the Standard cost method.
    Thank you.

    Hello
    I am in R11 and implementing R11 , can someone help me with documentation?.
    I have defined the lost cost method and assigned it to the GL Cost Method in the Fiscal Policy, when i run the cost update process with the alternate method for lot costing ( Pmac) a warning error displays indicating the Cost Method in the Fiscal Policy is not the same as the one indicated on the actual cost process ( since i have ingredients based on the actual cost method ant not lot controlled i have to run this process previously)
    can someone help on this?, at this point im really confused
    In advanced many thanks for your help

  • Post more than Costing Method to MAC

    Hi All,
    can i post more than costing method to mac at the same time
    assume that i have two warehouses ,one = standard method and the onther = Actual method and i want to post the inventory transactions to the MAC
    is it possible
    thanks
    best regards
    Amr Hussien

    Hi Amr
    You cant post one transaction with two different costing methods. ie. If you have inventory transaction then you can post this only with one cost method. However, you can (THOUGH NOT RECOMMENDED AND HAS POSSIBILITY OF ERROR) do post certain transactions say production with one cost method and inventory with actual. The cost that is picked up by MAC is the one that comes in as GL Cost. The GL Cost is picked up based on the costing method defined in the fiscal policy. Each time you run the GL Cost Update you would have to change this and then run the GL Cost Update.

  • Opening Balance at Actual Cost Method

    Hi Guys
    How are you ..every body
    how can i enter Opening Balance for items at warehouse uses actual cost method that i need to enter the unit cost for each item not the qty balance only
    thanks
    best regrads
    Amr Hussien

    Hi
    Costing has an API which can be used to enter any costs (Standard or Actual). Create the opening stock using create Immediate and then load the cost separtely using the API. Once you close the period that would become the period cost and valuations would be done accordingly. So even if you use Weighted Average it would be ok

  • Change of Costing Method

    Good day all,
    I hope somebody can help. We changed the costing method from Standard to FIFO. Everything went well, but some of the Items are still greyed out, although there are NO open documents and all quanatities are zero.
    I also did the following, although I know it is not the reason:
    1. It is not part of a BOM.
    2. It is not part of a MRP Forecast or MRP Wizard.
    Does anybody have any other suggestions?

  • Moving Averge Cost Method

    Dears,
    I would like to use the Moving Average Cost Method at OPM,
    Moving Average Cost Method from Costing Point of View ,it Calculates the Average Cost for every transaction and Post the Transaction Journal with the new cost one by one at the average cost calculated due to every transaction.
    Moving Average Cost Method from Oracle Point of View (PMAC),it Calculates the Average Cost for all transactions at the period , get one average cost and Post the all Transactions Journals with the only one cost (which calculated against all transactions).
    How can i get the first way at Oracle
    Regards
    for more explanation please advise

    OPM allows third cost method - Lot Costing. You have to figure out if this suites to your requirement.
