Random check before releasing price updation in costing run

Hi all,
Before releasing the price with standard cost estimate how we have to check the correctness of prices & costs of materials.
Please suggest any standard SAP solution is available or any other way to check correctness of cost estimate & prices of materials.
thanks & regards,
ramesh B

If you are doing the costing run through ck40n then you can see the error message if any generated against the marking. If there is no items for which there is any error, then u can release the cost.
Next you can take a sample checkup of the Material Master Costing 2 tab to see whether there is any amount entered under the future tab with the posting period as the period for which the costing is done.

Price update in costing run

Hi All,
We have 2 costing variant for the company code. Out of the 2 costing variant, we have to block one costing varimonthly price update after costing run for one costing variant.
Unchecking the option of 'Save estimate' in costing variant under update tab has resulted into blocking of cost estimate by t.code - CK11N.
Regards,
Abhishek

Hi Abhishek,
Create/Copy costing type in transaction OKKI. If you are getting an error message while creating new one, try copying the existing one to a new costing type.
As regards, assigning the new costing type to existing costing variant - I don't think system allows you to change the costing/valuation variant for an existing costing variant. You can change other parameters (date control etc.,), however.
You can copy the existing costing variant to a new one and assign the newly created costing type (with no update setting).
Hope this helps.

Price update CK24

Hi freinds,
After ck11n (material cost estimate) i run the price update(ck24) but the after entering all the details marking is done.
Upon release the system is giving "No plants able to be selected"
Pl tell me what is the issue?
regards
Ramesh

Hi ramesh
If u mark & release using CK11n & CK24 the marking is done as of the beginning of the month if costing is being done on 1st of the month or if u ar doing in the middle of the month it costing run can be saved only for the next month and marking and release is also done for the next month, check the fiscal period of the costing run saved by CK11N. to avoid this u shoud use t-code CK40n for both costing run and marking and releasing this would save costing run as on date . If a costing run already exists delete using CKR1 and again cost using CK40N.
This whould solve ur problem.

INFO RECORD PRICE UPDATING

Hi guys,
I have a semifinished good for which the std price is getting updated by Costing Run(PP). Now I want to release the P.O for the same price to Vendor.
How it is possible to update the info record net price with Std price of the master record automaticaly.
And I need to add the overhead cost by condition types and save the Info record.
Please guide with your valuable inputs.
Point shall be awarded.
Thanks,
Dhanu.

Hi,
Please create Info record for the vendor in ME 11 with the standard price in the Material Master record
Normally for purchasing info record for Semi finished goods only Moving average price is preffered.
After creating the Info create P.O.

Costing run-Standard price

Dear experts,
How we can update standard price in material master in the same month once it get updated with costing run which is updated with wrong values?
Please let me know we can do this,it is very urgent will assign full points,
Regards,
Surendra babu.

Use CKR1 with caution. If you do not enter the material and the plant, it can ruin all the cost estimates.
Adjust the master data of price or quantity structure and then re-run the cost estimate for the future valid period and then mark and release.

Costing run for a material with alternative BOM

Hi Friends,
My requirement is to have product costing for a material with 3 different BOMs, in CK11N i can change the alternative BOM number to have costing run for 3 differesnt boms, but in ck24 how to proceed, My client requirement is such that the standard price should be the average price of the costing run from 3 different boms, and they are not interested in manual price change in MR21
Regards,
Arun Kumar R V

Hi Arun,
You can have a Standard cost estimate based on only one of the alternative BOM and Routing. This alternative is selected based on the business ie., whichever alternative is generally used in production frequently. This will be the std cost and whenever you do the production using the other alternatives, the difference in cost will be captured as Variance.
There is no option of having average or cost estimate for each alternative at the same time.
There is absolutely no use in maintaining price in MR21 for an in house produced material, since during Prod Order process the planned costs will be arrived at based on the quantity structure of BOM & Route only.
Thanks & Regards,

What a horrible way to treat customers. I was due for updates on my phones and thought I should maybe check some other prices but have been with Verizon for 20 yrs so ended up there. I got 2 new IPhones 5s and the wife couldn’t decide what she wanted so she stayed with old phone but this locked me into a new 2 yr contract . Within a wk one of the new iPhones started turning on and of like 10 –15 times a day. Wk 2 it turned off and would not turn on again . It was my sons who was in college at the time so we talked and he took it in to a Verizon store where he was told I need to come in since the account was in my name. He was away from home , Verizon could see on account it was his phone they said it was not abused, they could not even turn it on , they sold me the phone give him another phone maybe even a loaner till he gets another. So now I need to go to store and explain to 3 different people this is my phone and my son has it and I need a new one. what a waste of time after about 2 hrs and talking to different people and yes they said there were notes on his account from other person he had talked to from different store. So I finally walk out with a receipt in hand and being told I would have a new phone in a couple days. As I sat in my vehicle thinking this is stupid I looked at my receipt and noticed it said droid on it so back into Verizon I went. The salesman said that’s what your son has on his account. My son had activated a friends old phone so he has one since VERIZON REFUSED to give him one. Another hr 3 people and yes they can see he had a new iPhone and notes on it from other store. Sometimes sorry just doesn't do it. I was now late for a appointment . Now I walk out and have been told I will get a new iPhone in the mail in about 2 wk Yes 2 wks again I bought it there just give me a new one and you send old one back. I will also get a new droid that I have to send back because they said they cant cancel it . In about 3 days I get the Droid and sent it back Verizon mistake and a waste of my time . After waiting over 2 wks and not receiving a new iPhone back to Verizon I went . I am now bitter at Verizon after doing 20 yrs of business with them. 3 people 1 hr later I was told it got delivered to my post office . I got the tracking num called the post office and they say o yes that was the droid. Go back in to Verizon another hr of explaining I walk out being told I will get a new iPhone in a couple of days, We’ll see . Once again I got the phone in your store just give me a new one . Do you realize how much of my time you have wasted ? do you care? O what is Your Policy ? How many Billion did you make last year ? I am Locked into a new 2 yr contract . Why don’t you just release me ? After 20 yrs do you think I will ever renew my contract ?

Simple process. If an iPhone go to the Apple Store and not Verizon
the phone from Verizon will be a refurbished device and not new unless under the 14 day worry free guarantee
good luck

Cost price update

Hi guys
i have a problem in updating cost price for all finished goods
we set in MM for all Raw Materials, process chemcials and packaging materials as moving average price and semi and finished goods items as standard
our raw material and packaging items changes prices once in a month based on international market prices. when we started SAP we updated these items prices and that price showing standard price field.
now when i updated FG cost price it is taking standard price cost for BOM and updating cost price and is not giving accurate costing. everymonth cost price is same since it is not taking moving average field price which is correct one
so guide me everymonth how to replace standard price field with moving average price field in MM so that cost price of the finished product will be accurate
total items are more than 4000 so please do not guide me to change manually by using MR21
Regards
Ved sai dut

Hi Ved,
Please check the priority of strategy sequence in the Valuation variant assigned to your Costing variant in Tcode OKKN. The first priority might have been set to standard price. So, Change it to 'Moving average price' and the system will read the prices in the Moving average price field in the material master.
You DO NOT have to use MR21 or change any material prices or use material ledger. If you set the priority to moving average price, the system automatically reads those prices in the BOM items while costing.
Hope this should resolve your issue.

Vishnu.

Reversal of Cost Price Update and Price Change MR21

Dear SAP experts
Recently (on 1st of this month) i did cost price update for all my FIG items. Later i realized that some of FG items cost price was not accurate. So i want to delete cost price of those items and update price by using T code MR 21
When i try to cancel these items cost price by using T code CKR1, i am getting error message that particular material current or future standard price is avialable and i am unable to move further
Please guide how to delete current cost price of these items and update cost price by using MR21. Please note these items does not have any BOM and basically are contract manufacturing items
Thanks in advance

Hi Vedsai
When you use CKR1, it does not give error.. It just gives a warning message
Enter your Plant / Mat in CKr1 and select "Current cost estimate" or "Future Cost Estimate" as the case may be
If any warning comes, ignore it and press enter.... It should reverse the cost estimate
Now update from MR21 or preferably use CK11N again
Note: If at all it gives any error in CKR1, check in T code OPR4_CK if this msg can be converted into warning message

Standard cost price update

Can anybody tell me in details the logic behind the standard cost price update.
Regards
Amitava

Hi.
1.After did the cost estimate in ck11n . you need to update the cost for the current period. then only it will update in the MM02 under the costing view.
2.In the update the costing , 2 steps need to do
a. MARK the costing . give the period for which you need to mark the costing. and execute in ck24
if you done . the price will update for the future period . you can see this in the MM02 under costing view / std costs
It means thats you do calculate and mark the cost but it will show in the future period in MM02 COSTING VIEW. . but you are not release this cost as the current period cost. so you are still in the old period costing only.
b. RELEASE the costing in ck24 itself. If you release the costing , then the costing will be show in the current period in mm02.

Relevant for Costing - Price Update

Hi,
SAP standard is offering Price Update for Inventory Costing through 'Relevant for Costing' against which price factors (50%, 75%, 25% etc.) is maintained.
1. We would like to use this to devalue the inventory values on a particular basis. What transaction do I need to execute to devalue.
2. I am using one material in BOM for SFG/FG, wherein I am entering the "Relevant for Costing' key. (50%). However, I am not able to see the result. The consumption is getting posted @ 100% rate and the cost of RM in FG is also 100%. It should have been 50% as per my understanding.
Am I missing any link. Please guide me to resolve this issue.

Hi Swapvik,
Pls check in your Costing Variant--> Valuation Variant --> Price Factors..
Here, Costing Relevancy is "X" for which you need to maintain your Price Factors. Pls check your entry and let me know..

Price update step in Costing run to other prices probelm - Very urgent ...

Hi All,
Can anyone tell me why does it updates only 1100 materials prices to commercial price though costing has been carried for 7900 materials? I have selected the price to be updated to commercial price 1 and as said above only 1100 only are shown under materials and 6800 materials are shown as still open in my costing run
I have looked into it, it appears to me that its becos of materials without quantity structure, their prices are not getting update to other prices
If anyone has any clue or infact a solution for this issue, please do help me
Thanks in advance
Kumar

Hi Suraj,
thanks a lot for ur quick reply. I think ur reply has answered most of my question, however in my costing run I have selected all the materials in my plant, meaning the materials which are purchased (no quantity structure/raw materials)also. So from ur reply I understand that for the raw materials or materials with no qnty structure the prices are not updated in the material master to other prices but, if it is a std cost estimate, mark, release process then it updates the future, current stnd prices right?
Please confirm me on that, bcos I have used a different costing variant from a regular one that I use for std cost est. I have defined the variant with costing type "ad hoc for commercial price" and with update as "other than std price". I want to make sure is the problem discussed above is due to my costing variant customization or is it bcos in price update function materials with no qnty sturcture are not updated in material master?
Your help is highly appreciated
Regards,
Kumar

Change of Costing Variant in Marking Allowance for CK24 price update

Dear All,
In CK24, price updation previously i had selected one costing variant for one particular material and released the standard price. Now, I am trying to do price update for a different material for which I used different costing variant for doing the material cost estimate. Now when I am going to Marking Allowance in CK24 for that particular company code the previous costing variant is only displaying. But now for the current material that is not the costing variant for which i need price updation. It is just displaying the old costing variant.
Please let me know how to change the costing variant for the same period.
Regards
Srikanth

Hi Srikanth,
1. IMG: Logistics - General, Retail Pricing
Define list variant and assign items
              Enhance or create a new list variant with list field VKP01
2. IMG: Logistics - General, Retail Pricing
Texts for list fields
              Adjust the text for the list field, for example, PP old
3. Define a new SD condition type ZEKA, for example as a copy of VKP0 (Transaction V/06)
              You can create this new condition either as a separate condition or if it is always determined together with, for example VKP0, you can define it as a condition supplement of VKP0. You achieve this by not assigning an access sequence to ZEKA but including it in the condition supplement schema (schema VKP000 in the standard system) instead. In addition, assign the supplement schema of the main condition (master data subscreen, for example schema VKP000). The main condition must be contained in the calculation schema used so that the condition supplements can be found.
4. Insert the new condition type ZEKA in the sales price calculation schema (Transaction V/08)
              Enhance the schema (assignment per pricing type) with the new condition ZEKA. In the standard system, we deliver schema WWS001 and WWS002. You can insert ZEKA at the end of the schema as a statistical condition.
5. IMG: Logistics - General, Retail Pricing
Control - control per list field, allowed costing levels
              For the sales price calculation schema used, you must set control parameters for the list fields EKPNN and VKP01.
List field EKPNN: In the lower subscreen (Saving list fields in master conditions) enter the new condition type ZEKA (application V). If the new condition type has an access sequence, that is, it is not used as a condition supplement, then you must specify in screen 'Allowed pricing levels' the condition tables in which ZEKA should be stored.
List field VKP01: In the mid subscreen (Transport calculating schema data for list field), specify ZEKA as SP condition type.
Note: if you want to send ZEKA for example in the assortment list as a condition, then you must also enhance the schema for calculating the sales price (VKP001, VKP002 or VKP003 in the standard system) with ZEKA.
If still not working ping me,

Debit and Credit notes not to update COPA cost of sales when doing price ad

Hi Experts,
Please help me to fix the below issue.
When we correct price adjustments on customer accounts we use debit and credit notes to do these price corrections. We first process a ZCR order type with reference to the original invoice to reverse the transaction and then we process a debit meme request ZDR with the correct details to invoice the customer correctly.
These credit and Debit memo request are purley for pricing problems and do not effect cost of sales. Currently these Debit and credit memos are updating the cost of Sales value field (COS on Market Price - VV013) .
This creates a problem since the credit and debit memo happen in subsequent months e.g. The credit memo is reversed at the old cost of sales value since SAP keeps a reference to the cost of sales at that time but the debit memo creates the cost sales at the new standard cost which is obviously not the same as the original cost of sales. We therefore sit with differences which will not equal FI since FI cost of sales was updated with the goods issue price in the month that the goods issue happened.
We therefore need to zerorise the following value fields when doing ZDR dedit memo and billing type ZL2 and ZCR credit memo billing type ZG2.
Gross Weight in KG VV004
Invoiced Qty KG net VV002
Invoiced Qty in L VV001
Invoiced Qty in L15 VV003
Invoiced Quantity VV005
COS on Market Price VV013
VV001 to VV005 are quantity fields and VV013 is Value field.
Please help me how to fix the issue.
Regards,
Amar.

Hi,
Sorry, I probably confused things by mentioning Revenue. Your settings are correct, with Revenue defined as a revenue element (11) rather than a cost element (1).
With respect to WIP (P&L), I would create it as a cost element, since it represents the absorption of cost centre costs and materials into the production of goods, even though the goods are not yet complete. When the goods are completed they will be credited in CO-OM and debited to stock using a similar entry. The impact of these credits (to WIP or to Stock) is to move costs out of CO-OM into the goods produced (CoGS). In CO-OM, the net result of Costs less credits to WIP/Stock, indicates the efficiency of your cost centres or the accuracy of your standards.
I would also create the manufacturing variance accounts as Cost Elements and settle them back to your production costs centres (or possibly CO-PA if you used it), since they are also a reflection of the efficiency of your cost centres - i.e. if a Cost Centre manager is not achieving the standards, (s)he should be accountable for the variance, and if you are concerned about reconciling CO-OM and the costs in P&L, you won't reconcile if the variances aren't posted back to CO.

Marc
