Release cost calculation made by CK51N

Hi
We use scheduling agreements in transaction VA31.
We define that cost calculation can be done the scheduling agreement. But at this time, the costing lot size can not be changed.
We need to change it because for us the costing lot size is not the ordered quantity of the scheduling agreement item.
We tried to use transaction CK51N in which the costing lot size can be manually changed which is exaclty what we need.
We marked the cost calculation in CK51N.
Back in the scheduling agreement, and trying to do a cost calculation SAP warns that a cost calculation already exists.
But in our price procedure, we use the price condition which should receive the value of the cost calculation and it's empty.
It is normal?
It there another transaction we need to release the cost calculation made in CK51N?
Any help on the subjet would be really appreciated.
Regards.
Olivier

Hi
Thanks for your help.
I've check my procurement type and the condition was EK02 in fact missing.
I added it and this is now as above.
I created a new scheduling agreeements.
I calculate a new cost for this new document with CK51N and marked it.
But back in the document in VA32, EK02 is still not there. (This condition is flagged manual condition in the price procedure).
I also tried to add it manually, redo the cost calculation, but back in the scheduling agreement, the condition EK02 is still empty.
I probably do something wrong.
Is a calculation rule or basis needed for condition EK02 in the price procedure?
Regards
Olivier

Check to restrict release if there is error in cost calculation

Dear all,
I want to have check that production order cannot be released if error is there in cost calculation(CSER)?
How this can be possible?
Is there any direct way possible? Please reply me in detail.
Thanks,
Vijay Modasiya

Vijay,
Create a new user status profile and assign this to the order type which you are going to use.
The defination should be such that user status should get activated if "CSER" is activated on that order, and this should not allow "REL" status.
In general try with "BS02" and "BS22", I am not sure whether CSER and REL can be interlinked.
Hope this helps....Reward your points,

Bom Component qty & WIP Quantity differ at Trget cost calculation

Dear gurus,
i am facing the problem with WIP at target cost calculation in REM.
My issue is
BOM Component qantity is 9.524 TO and price is 2000 then total cost is 9.521*2000=19048.
but in WIP Report kkas in WIP explation it takes input qty 9.52 T0 and price 2000 then total price is 19040.
Difference is 19048 - 19040 =8
and also when i am issuing actual qty i.e 9.524 in BOM then my price is 19048.00 ant at time of variance calculaton then quantaty variance as 9.52.0-9.524.0=-0.04 then 0.004*2000 =-8
Please suggest solution for this.
Any OSSS NOTE Required
any Quires please revert back

Hi
Rounding differences between target and actual values and quantities are not unlikely to occur and cannot always be avoided but can be minimized.
Small prices and price unit of 1 are likely to cause more of these rounding differences..
The actual credit is simply calculated as price * quantity. The target credit however is calculated during the variance calculation
and based on the sum of all items in the itemization/cost components of the cost estimate and therefore more accurate.
To avoid this I suggest to store the material price with a larger price unit, i.e. 1000
Std cost release stores price upto 2 decimals and target cost calculation goes upto 3 decimals...
Please check also the note 1265918 for more information to this topic.

Target cost calculation in Process Order based on Variance Calculation

Hi all,
I have a question on Target cost calculation in Process Order. My understanding is, the Target Costs gets calculated when the confirmation and GR is made for the Process Order.
But if the confirmation/GR is not done, whether the target costs gets calculated for only the activity types after the Variance Calculation (KKS2).
I have two scenarios. In one, the target costs got calculated for the activity types without the confirmation/GR after the Variance calculation.
In another scenario, the target costs are not getting calculated for the activity types without the confirmation/GR if I try to do the variance calculation in KKS2.
SO i want to know which scenario is correct?
Can anyone answer this question?
Thanks and Regards,
Brijesh

Hi,
In general, the target costs are calculated once you deliver the order.
Target costs for the components and the activities are updated only once you deliver the order and the target cost for the finished product gets updated when you do the variance calculation.
Consider your scenario number 1 - you said the target costs got calculated for activity types without confirmation / GR after variance calculation.
Now, if the order is not having any status like PDLV, DLV or TECO it will not calculate the variances in the first place.
Your second scenario is correct - without GR the system does not calculate any target costs. Also it will not calculate any variances because the order status is still not DLV.

Shipment Cost Calculation

Dear All,
I know that tariffzone plays a role in determining the price for the freight/Service Agent condition in case of outbound shipment cost calculation
I have the following query in Shipment Pricing.
Can anyone please explain whats the role of the 2 postal code columns in the tariff zone assignment?
Also how & where I have to maintain the data for determining the tariff zone which I have assigned to the above combination.
Please help.
Regards,

HI Dave,
Thanks for the response.
Please note that I have maintained postal codes in my Shipping point also in my customer master.
For the combination of TP Point, Service agent, Shipping type & Country I have made the following assignment.
I have given my shipping point Postal code in both the Postal code columns of Tarff zone assignment (say Tariff) & my customer master Postal code in both the Postal code columns of Tariff zone assignment (say Tariff1).
Now I have maintained the condition records in TK11 for the combination of Depart. Tariff zone/Destn.Tariff zone/Service Agent i.e. Tariff/Tariff1/Service Agent
But my condition record value is not getting determined & when I simulate my shipment cost I am getting the following error message.
Shipment costs not yet calculated
Shipment costs item 000001 w/ ref. to doc. $0001 item 0001

Error in cost calculation for production order

Dear All,
I got error of cost calculation while release of Production Order due to price of some material is not mantain .
What will happen if I release , save the Order with error & do Good Issue ???
Ishwar

Dear Ishwar,
Check the log's created for costing and rectify the same.
I feel its better to rectify the cost related errors and then release the production order and proceed to Good's Issue.
Check whether there is a MAP for all the Raw-materials and an origin group in costing 1 view.
The Finished product must be having a standard cost estimate that's valid for the current period.
Revert back in case of any more help needed.

Delivery cost calculation solution in SRM 7

Dear all,
We have a requirement to capture delivery costs associated purchases made via SRM. We would like to know if itu2019s possible to achieve the two scenarios indicated below. And if so, where and how do we enable delivery cost calculation process for SRM generated POs?
Here are the 2 scenarios/requirements:
Scenario 1.
Shipping costs pre negotiated before a shopping cart is raised. When the PO vendor sends an invoice, shipping costs appear on a separate. We need a functionality to automatically calculate and add/capture these delivery costs to the SRM based PO and have the ability to match/pay for this when the vendor invoices.
Scenario 2.
Delivery costs such as fright costs are not know at the point the SRM PO is created. The PO vendor invoices only for goods that he delivers. Freight costs/charges have to be paid to another vendor - e.g. DHL. We need a functionality to automatically add/capture these Freight costs to the SRM based PO and have the ability to match/pay both the PO and Freight Vendors when they submit their invoices.
Thanks in advance.

Dear Poster,
As no response has been provided to the thread in some time I must assume the issue is resolved, if the question is still valid please create a new thread rephrasing the query and providing as much data as possible to promote response from the community.

Shiment Cost Calculation Rules

Hi Gurus
Can you please provide me details of configuring Shipment Cost Calculation Rules?
Thank You

Hi Brajesh,
Is the following rules you are expecting?
Determining the Calculation Basis
Use
The origin of the data upon which a condition type is based during shipment costing determines the calculation basis. During shipment costing, the system determines the shipment cost items from the different calculation bases for the condition types of a pricing procedure. Shipment costing itself is carried out for each sub-item.
Prerequisites
You must maintain a suitable calculation base in the definition for the condition type in Customizing.
If you select handling units as the calculation basis, you must also specify the packaging material type so that only the relevant handling units are used for shipment cost calculation.
Features
The calculation bases are determined during shipment costing for a shipment cost item on the basis of the settings made in the condition type.
During pricing, the calculation base influences
The condition types to be considered for each sub-item
The information available for determination of the conditions
All condition bases contain information from the shipment header or shipment stage, as well as from the shipment cost item. This information includes service agents, geographical information (point of departure and destination) and shipping type, for example.
How the scale base types (gross weight, net weight and volume) are calculated
The following types of calculation bases are possible:
Deliveries
If condition types with this calculation base exist in the pricing procedure, then the system creates a shipment cost sub-item for every relevant delivery.
No information from the delivery items (such as materials) or the handling units is available.
The scale base types (gross weight, net weight, volume) refer to the corresponding information from the delivery headers.
Delivery items
If condition types with this calculation base exist in the pricing procedure, then the system creates shipment cost sub-items for every relevant delivery item.
Information from the delivery header and the relevant delivery item is available. There is no information from the handling units, however.
The scale base types (gross weight, net weight, volume) refer to the corresponding information from the delivery items.
Group of Handling Units
If condition types with this calculation base exist in the pricing procedure, then the system creates shipment cost sub-items for the sum of all identical handling units with the relevant packaging material type (also specified in the condition type).
There is no information from the deliveries or the delivery items available.
The scale base types (gross weight, net weight, volume) refer to the corresponding cumulated information from the relevant handling units.
Shipment cost item
If condition types with this calculation base exist in the pricing procedure, then the system creates exactly one shipment cost sub-item.
There is no information from the deliveries, the delivery items or the handling units.
The scale base types (gross weight, net weight, volume) refer to the corresponding information from the relevant delivery headers.
Per handling unit
This calculation basis corresponds to the calculation basis handling units, with the only difference that each handling unit is calculated individually. This calculation base is necessary for shipping packages, for example.
Handling unit including delivery item
If condition types with this calculation basis exist in the pricing procedure, then the system creates a shipment cost sub-item for every packaged delivery item and handling unit (per combination of delivery item and handling unit). Shipment costs are therefore calculated with content depending on the handling unit.
All of the information from the handling units and delivery items is available.
The scale basis types (gross weight, net weight, volume) refer to the gross weight of a handling unit per delivery item.
All
You can use this calculation base if, for example, you want to define a discount that applies to both delivery-related and handling unit-related shipment prices. A condition type with this calculation base can be used for every shipment cost sub-item.
Several calculation bases may be used within a shipment cost item. In performing a shipment comparison, for example, the calculation could be performed using two calculation bases. You could then compare the results. See also Shipment Comparisons.
For system load and clarity reasons, we recommend selecting a calculation base that is only as detailed as absolutely necessary. For example, if only the total weight and the transportation leg are relevant, the calculation base for shipment cost items is sufficient. However, you can still distribute the costs in greater detail. The cost distribution is independent of the calculation base. For example, you can calculate shipment costs using the calculation basis for shipment cost items and distribute the costs at delivery item level. The system weights the costs and distributes them accordingly.
When defining the condition tables in Customizing (Logistics Execution ® Transportation ® Shipment Costs ® Pricing ® Pricing Control ® Define price dependencies (condition tables), you should make sure that information is not available for every field - depending upon calculation base. If, for example, you select the field Incoterms for a condition table when condition types with the calculation basis Handling units exist in the pricing procedure, there can be no information on Incoterms for the corresponding sub-item. This means that no condition records will be found for this key. For further information on the role of the condition table in pricing, see Condition Tables.
Please let me know your thoughts.
Thanks nand Regards,

Actual Cost Calculation in Process Order

Hi All,
I updated Standard cost of a raw material through a cost estimate and also ran cost estimate of the FIN that is using this raw material but when I am creating a Process order, it is taking the cost of this particular raw material from the previous estimate not the recent one to calculate the target cost. Can any body help me with this.
Thanks
MKR

Hi Ashok,
My Valuation variants for the Costing Variant of Cost Estimate and Production order (Actual/Plan) cost calculation are in Sync to get the prices according to the price indicator in material master. But when it calculates cost for a production order, it is picking up cost from the previous period for that particular raw material. I have updated the standard cost by running the cost estimate but still its not working.
Any lead on this. This will be really appreciated.
Thanks

Weighted avg Unit Cost calculation for COGS

Hi friends,
Has any body done weighted avg unit cost calculation for inventory valuation and COGS calculation. In a way we need to mirror ECC material ledger functionality based on the APO data in side the planning tool.
Any ideas on the above!!!
Kind Regards,
Krish

Hi Jerry,
Thanks for the tip. I actually needed to clean the spreadsheet up and put bogus values in to comply with company policy. Anyhow, here is a sample of the spreadsheet
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7499586/junk.png
Just imagine about 100 products and several hundred raw materials, a dozen types of labor and about 30 types of packaging. It's a monster spreadsheet.
The "units" under each product is the number of units per batch. You can see each product has two columns. One where you put in how much of a raw material, package type, and labor type go into each batch, the next calculates the cost for each item. Then it gets summed at the top for the total unit cost for that product.
Let me know if you have any other questions about it. Thanks so much for your help!

How to define routes for freight cost calculation

Hi,
in our company we plan to use LE-TRA Transport with Freight costs calculation. To use Transport it is a must to maintain routes in all sales orders/deliveries. Currently we do not use it and now we have the challenge to define routes and later due to freight costs calculation Stages. There are different solutions for routes. In some other companys we have only routes dependent on the Transit duration, but that's all. They don't use stages and they don't use freight cost calculation in SAP.
As I know routes should describe geographical locations (The way location A till location B). Based on the route we have a defined stage with a distance, shipping type.... That would mean for a company: They need to analyse all delivery channels with different forwarding agents and so on. Is that possible when the forwarding agent is responsible for scheduling? That means for a company with customer around the world thousands of routes?
Alternatively it is possible to create stages in the transport documents. Is that more recommendable? It would be nice, when someone could post his experience with that topic.
Thank you,
Raphael

Hi Luis,
thank you for the response. My problem is not the technical view. I know how to create the routes and what kind of information I need. The problem is to unterstand how this concept can operate in practise in a company with many different customer.
The following site describes the concept of routes in SAP:
http://blog.tkreddy.com/2010/09/17/understanding-the-concept-of-routes-le-shp-in-sap-ecc-6-0/
A company with many delivery plants and customer around the world needs to forward all delivery channels they have to us, A route describes an area and includes stages with location A and B. The stages are assigned to a forwarding agend. Based on that information I can start a freigt cost calculation. The structure of stages and routes also depends on the situation how many different forwarding agents are involved in a delivery process.
In my opinion it is really a big effort to find a reliable solution for the amount of routes and stages. I am thinking about to use the solution to create the stage manually in the transport document and to use the routes to describe the transit time.

COFC - Actual cost calculation error

Hi Friends,
I am a PP consultant and i have a issue with cost calculation at the time of confirmation.
There are production orders that were confirmed in year 2010 and year 2011. For year 2010 costing documents were created but not no costing docuemnts for confirmations in year 2011.
I checked tcode COFC and found error log as : A master record for 1111/ABCD exists only in 2010.(where 1111 is cost center and ABCD is activity type.)
I have checked the validaty of both cost center and activity type & both are valid.
can anyone please suggest what has to be maintained for year 2011 from controlling side.
Thanks In Advance.
Rohit

Hi Rohit,
The similar error i have faced just couple of hours back.
I have checked up the plan prices in KP26 for the activity type and could see that they were not maintained for 2011.
I have maintained the same for the current year and the error got resolved.
Pls see that you are choosing the correct cost centre and activity type combination alongwith the costing version for 2011.

Sachin

Hi
when you gone to the transaction code Kp26 Activity typ price/ planning after give the input press period screen or F6 function key and check what price was maintained for your period 12.
And even you do one thing go to the transaction code KS02 or 03. Give the cost center and press enter . Then from the meny bar select Environment -> whereused list->.
And let me confirm how you run the cost estimate for the material

Shipment cost calculation - configuration problem

hello all
we are implementing the shipment cost calculation system and so far configured only 1 service agent .
the problem regarding scenarios that the shipment executed by service agents that is not configured in
the system but the invoicing party is the one ( SA) that we configured .
( the SA that is configured in the system is charging us for the shipments of the
SA that is not configured. )
how can i get the shipment cost document to open for the invoicing party ( the one that we configured )
but still leave the shipment under the origin service agent ( the one that isn't configured ) ?
Regards ,
ASA .

Hi ,
sorry, i wasn't precise :
i need to open a service entry whose based on po in order to forward to financial accounting .
( its a separate po that isn't part of the inbound or outbound process and i open it for SA x )
Y and X are differnt transportation companys but i have some cases that SA x is charging me
for the shipment of SA y.
the transportaion agent in VT01N is SA y and there for the shipment cost document opens for SA y and
looks for po for SA y .
i have to direct the system ( by some user exit / badi ) to seek for the po of SA x ( the one whose
charging me for the shipment ) .
hope this help explain my problem ,
Regards ,
ASA

Actual cost calculation process

Hi, All!
I run the Actual Cost Calculation Process and created IPV is effecting PMAC, but no lines are created in gmf_invoice_distributions.

Hi,
Check the unit price of the PO and the Price for the line during AP Invoice matching. If there is a difference then it automatically goes into IPV. Also check the values for profile GMF: Include Invoices in Actual Cost.

Malcolm
