Repair request spare parts costs transfer to COPA

I have system configured that when I have repair request and I need to deliver a spare parts the cost of this are issued and booked with Outbound delivery document to FI. There is no costs on a repair request order.
I wonder if it is any way to book the cost of mentioned spare parts cost to COPA as well?
Thanks in advance,
Rafal

Hello
Process is like below:
1. Creating a repair request (VA01) for broken warranty item
2. Delivery is done for the item with Post Goods Issue.
Above steps create only material document with no FI document.
3. In change order (VA02) for just created repair request in Repair TAB repairs and replacement Business decision is done.
4. Deliver is done. In deliver there are two materials and after having the Post Goods Issue, system create material document and FI document (warehouse -> cost of sales)
This is all the steps, no invoice is done issued for this process.
Thanks for interesting,
Rafal

Can Absorption costing transfer in COPA?

Hi All
I would appreciate your help. Please provide me details explanation over.
1) Can we transfer Absorption Costing in COPA?
2) What is the procedure?
( It is my request please use full form rather than short words).

Hi Shobhi,
Absorption costing is charging all fixed and variable costs of production to sales effected in a period.To major extent it is possible to transfer Absorption costing to COPA. I am not sure about how to give effect of difference in openeing and closing stock.
The procedure for costing based copa is as follows.
You get Revenue as well as cost (standard cost) of goods sold through billing documents. The sales which cannot be effected through billing documents can be accounted through Financial entries having real cost object as "PSG" i.e. profitability segments.
Now coming to production order variances, at the period end, you can transfer all these to COPA.
Your production cost centers will have some debit/credit balances which can be assessed to COPA. So variable cost is abosrbed to COPA.
About fixed cost ,service cost center balance and cost related to HR , Marketing etc can be assessed to COPA. So this way you can absorb all the cost to COPA.
Following example will help you in understanding.
Assume the standard cost consist of Rs 100 for material and Rs 20 for Activity totalling Rs120 .Consider a production order where it is debited with Rs 100 for material and Rs 40 for activity totalling 140 Rs. Now credit is Rs 120 (standard cost) so the balance Rs 20 is transferred to COPA after variance calculation and settlement of variance.
Consider a production cost center where activity cost is absorbed and the debit to this cost center is
Rs 60 and activity cost is Rs 40 which is credit. So the balance of Rs 20 can be transferred to COPA through cost center assessment.
The balance of Adminsitration,marketing cost center is Rs 10 respectively which can be assessed to COPA through cost center assessment
Now COPA report will look like as follows
Sales Rs 200
less Standard cost Rs 120
Gross margin Rs 80
Less Production order Variance Rs 20
Balance Rs 60
less Cost center balance Rs 20
Net margin Rs 40
Less Admin/Mktg Cost Rs 20
Balance net profit Rs 20
You see the Profit and Loss account as follows
Sales 200 Rs
less
Material cost Rs 100
Other cost Rs 60 (Debited to Production Cost centers)
HR /Mktg cost Rs 20
Balance Profit Rs 20
In the above example, how to account for difference between Opening stock value of WIP and closing stock value of WIP is not clear to me. May be experts can throw some light on this.

In house repair - Maintaining template for Spare parts & Services

Hi,
After creating an item of type "Diagnostics", I want to choose additional "Repairs+Spare Parts" .
Where can I maintain this template so the Spare Parts get proposed.
Thanks,

Hi,
If you want the repairs and spare parts to be proposed by the system, then you need to maintian them in the respective relationships of the main product.
Maintain the relevant services and spares in the relationship (Services / Spare Parts) of the main product and try to create a new order and check.

Costing spare parts in reporting point

Hi,
    during back flush how can we track the price for spare parts like washers , while the situation is like this .. ie in one reporting point 5 washer used and in another reporting point 10 washers were used .
    How the quantity can be mentioned during backflush
Regards
s.kanna

Hi Anand,
             here the situation is we got aroung 1000 components in abom.in that we got washers with certain qty as per standard,
             But in shop floor during manufacturing according to free space extra washers were added to tighten the assemply.here washer qty get changed .
             while running cost estimation as per BOM cost is getting calculated but our client says hw will u estimate the extra washer used in certain assembly.
             More over they require each assembly should be costed according to exact usage of washers to that particular assembly.
             here scenario is REM....period end closing....
             we are following cost estimation with washer qty as per BOM.

Sending Spare part for repairing via subcontracting

Hi All,
Our business practice includes to send any spare part(i.e Motor) for
repairing purpose outside the plant premises on the subcontracting
challan.
But this particular spare part (of ERSA material type) has ALREADY got
issued and NO stock exists under this material code for sending it
outside.
So currently we are creating the new material code (which is non valuated
in nature)and generating the stock(via movement type 501) of the same for
sending it outside by using the custom movement type 941 (copy of 541
movement type).
For the above excercise to happen, everytime it is very tedious excercise
to create the non valuated material code. it implies every repairable
material code is having 2 material codes one is valuated and 2nd one is
non valuated,which gives lot of confusion to users.
Please suggest some way out for this issue.
Thanks & Regards
Nitin

Hi
I hope you can use Split caluation here. Create two valuation type Valuated and Non - Valuated. Carry out the necessary config for split valuation. while Creating material master for valuation type valuated maintain MAP in accounting view and for valuation type Non-valuated maintain standard price 0. This may be useful for you

Spare Parts on consignment at no cost during warranty period

With new equipment being installed, several vendors have agreed to provide us with spare parts on a consignment basis without any consumption cost during the warranty period. When the warranty ends we'll either purchase the spares or return them to the vendor. Is there a standard SAP process for these parts? I've look into consignment processing but did not find a clean way to do this without an accounting entry. We are on ECC 6.0.

Jody,
Try asking the same question to the [Materials Management|SAP ERP - Logistics Materials Management (SAP MM); guys.

Spare parts for repair

Hi,
Are there anywhere in the material master where i can indicate if the product is repairable or not repairable.
It shouldn't indicate where or more information, but only a click off or a sign that it says that the part is repairable.
Thanks.

Hi,
I don't think that such an indicator exists, but you have a few ways to achieve it:
1) The easiest and most straightforward way of adding info to a material master (and not only!), is the classification mechanism, where you can classify a material as being "reparable".
2) Use material group to have a group like "reparables"
3) if you need some more hard core differentiation one could even customize a new material type. Not recommended especially in cases when a reparable can become non-reparable, and vice versa.
4) In the BOM there's a native indicator for spare parts, so if you use BOMs maybe that will work better for you.

Mario

Material cost estimation in COPA

Hello Everyone
I have question regarding how details of cost Estimate will flow to COPA Report.
Variance of Product cost will flow in COPA through PA Transfer Structure and its flowing on my report. However, I want to flow COGM (break up of the cost components) on COPA reports.
I have done below steps but itu2019s not flowing.
I have maintained Define Costing Keys for Accessing Material Cost Estimates. ( I have maintained 3 key with different Period Indicators.
A. Released Standard cost estimate matching goods issue
     B. Current standard cost estimate to entry in Mat
     C. Material cost estimate matching posting date.
Assign costing key in material ledger and i activate material ledger in actual costing/ material ledger.
I have chosen table lookup with MBEW on source fields in u201COriginu201D tab with        MATNR, BWKEY and BWTAT as field and in assignment I have take VPRSV.
Maintain another with same field name in Source and selected KALAWI in Target fields.
            And assigned the costing keys to key for accessing material cost to step1
I have assigned Cost Component structure to operating concern. ( I have created
Value fields which shows the details for COGM in Cost sheet and maintained the same in it.)
I have maintained external material group and assigned to Material master.
After doing all the above steps Material Ledger TAB is getting populated on the Material Master but when I run the Standard Cost Estimate its not showing details for Cost of sales in COPA.
Please do let me know if I need to do any additional steps with.
Thanks in Advance.
Srinivas

Hi Srinu,
By activating Material Ledger without knowing about it and without knowing it's relevancy to the client's business process....YOU DID A BLUNDER MISTAKE
Materia Ledger along with Actual Costing need to be activated if you want to go for Actual Costing inaddition to Standard Costing.
"""Once activate Material Ledger for any Plant, you willl not be able to de-activate""".
In which client are you doing this? It it in only Golden Master, just immediately deactivate ML. If you have already copied the customization request to Unit Testing Client, you cannot do anything there, but don'g transport it to Quality Server.
When you activate ML, many things right from basics will change...for example Price Indicator in Material Master (S or V). Hell lot of descipline is required during Period-End closing etc.
YOU SHOULD NOT ACTIVATE MATERIAL LEDGER UNLESS THE BUSINESS PROCESS REALLY NEEDS IT -- this only suggestion from my side...
First you deactivate and come back to know about Costing Key...

Spare Parts / Screen Goes Black

Hi guys,
Anybody know a trustable source of getting spare parts of iMac in Europe? (better in Spain, but the UK will be fine)
A couple of days ago my iMac just died. The screen turned off but i could hear the iMac running. I restarted in safe mode to check if that could be a Software problem and the it lasted on for a couple of minutes and it turned off completely. It never turned on again.
I talked to the repair service and they said the most common cause could be
1 - The Internal Power Source (around 200 euros of repair cost)
2 - The Inverter (around 500 euros of repair cost)
For a 3 years old iMac, paying 500 euros y NOT an option. I am a bit **** out about the reliability of Mac now.
Anyhow, i have to resolve the problem or use it as a fairly big paper holder. I might buy the piece and ask a friend of mine who is an electronic engineer to help me out. I checked the iFix guides and also parts in the US and the cost of the Power Source or Inverter in never more than 100 euros.
By the way, by reading on the Internet about this turn off monitor problem most of the people say the the usual causes are the Display Power Source or the Inverter, but it could be that the memory went bad too.
Thanks for any help,
S

HI,
It sure wouldn't hurt to try and boot from your install disc.
Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
*(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)*
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space
Try Resetting the SMC

Capitalization of spare parts

Hi,
Spare parts are acquired via logistic workflow. At reception, they are entered in inventory. Accounting department verifies on monthly basis the list of spare parts but has to identify which one has to be capitalized.
How could you send spare parts sitting in inventory to asset register? If the spare part is capitalized but need to be replaced/ repaired, how could we change the value of the asset? How could we track the spare part if they are capitalized? How could we follow the spare part as soon as it is capitalized?
Any recommendation on the capitalization of spare parts?
Thanks
Sabine

Hi Anna,
Thanks for your answer. In fact, we try to see if we need to capitalize or not spare parts. I know that you suggested to keep them in inventory .
Here, they try to decide at the beginning of the process if they need to capitalize or not the spare part. There are 2 cases:
case 1: spare part bought at the same time as main asset to which there are related to (= critical spare part) and brought into use at the same time as main asset.
case 2: spare part bought for repair or replacement
I guess that we should capitalize the spare part in the first case. But if we capitalize the spare part, we could not do anymore an inventory management and follow the spare part. This is not very convenient.
In the second case, we need to decide if we are dealing with major spare parts and define some criteria to identify what "major" means (e.g. useful life higher than 1 year)... but this is very difficult to identify.
In the last case, it is more complicate because we probably go through the maintenance order but how do we capitalize then? If the costs are in stock then they can't be also in asset. Does this mean that we need to do some financial adjustments?
Any idea?
Thanks
Sabine

Credit and Debit notes in reference to Repairing invoice or Repair request

Hi Experts!
I create a Sales order ("RA") for repairing. My flow is complete and also billing documents are generated.
The fixed price defined in the Repair request is copied into the invoice, and can not be modified (we block the change).
If the price is lower or upper than the real costs. It would like to create a credit or a debit note in reference to the billing document.
Is it a standard way to work because SAP blocks it in Standard.
Or there is no link between a billing document and a credit memo?
I have an alternative, to use "Purchase order N°" with Sales order, but this field is a free text.
Thanks for your help.

Who/what is "it" in "it would like to create"? What does SAP "block"? What exactly is an issue?

Split Valuation Material Cost Estimate into COPA

Hi all,
Is there any way how we can transfer the split valuation material cost estimate into COPA?
I checked the actual line items, there is no "valuation type / batch" characteristics there.
Is this the main cause?
Please kindly suggest on the best way to solve this issue
Thank you very much
Regards, Erwin

Hi, Ajay
Does this mean that, even though i manage to create the valuation type as characteristic in COPA, i won't be able to get 2 different cost estimate based on valuation type into COPA?
Hm, then, are there any solutions which can be done to solve this issue?
The client needs a COPA report which can show the breakdown of the sold materials cost estimates
As usual, thank you very much for your help

CRM Service - ECC Logisitcs Integration (Spare Parts in a Service Order)

Hi Experts,
We have been trying to configure a scenario for CRM Service Orders with SAP ECC logistics integration in CRM 7.0 EHP1.
We are aware of the standard configuration wherein we assign one logistics scenario ( Purchase Requisition or Purchase Order or Reservation) for a specific service organization & Item Category for spare parts in service order.
Our first query : Is it standard that the spare part will be automatically reserved if it is in stock (after ECC availability check from service order) and purchase requisition or purchase order is created only if it is not in stock?
We also understand that while a reservation happens during Service order creation, the goods issue or material withdrawal happens only on service confirmation. If this the case, how will the physical delivery happen to customer? This is our second query.
Please note that we are raising this query only for spare part items in service order and not for sales item in service order.
It would be great if you could help us with this issue.
Responses will be suitably rewarded.
Thanks,
Prish

Hi Pritesh,
Thank you for your prompt reply and help, appreciate the same, we would be going for the scenario where the service order in sap crm has saleable parts, the service order would get replicated to ecc as a sales order and the costs would get booked when the post goods issue is performed after creating the delivery in SAP ECC.
Following are the configurations done
1) Service Order type ZRVW is created in SAP CRM
2) The same service order ZRVW is mapped in SAP ECC
3) The service order in SAP CRM has the following number range and the same is kept internal
4) The same number range is marked as external in SAP ECC in vn01 tcode
5) The number range is assigned to the document type ZRVW in SAP ECC
6) Item category determinations are done in SAP CRM, standard SRVS(Sales items are copied to YRVS)
7) The same item category determination is also set in SAP ECC for Item category group NORM
8) Item category determination is also set for ERLA as item category group in ECC
9) The item category YRVS is set to delivery relevant in SAP ECC
10) The standard schedule line is determined which is CP is relevant for delivery
11) The sales area is also assigned to the document type ZRVW.
12) In SAP CRM, the status profile YCONT is assigned, having the business transaction to be distributed, the status of the same is set to allowed for completed status
13) The status profile has been assigned to the transaction type ZRVW
14) Pricing configurations are also done in sap crm and sap ecc
15) Now I am creating the service order ZRVW in SAP CRM, having saleable parts, customer's and material's exist in both systems having the same sales area, the status is set to completed at item and header level
16) The system is throwing an error when I click on edit
17) When checked In sap ecc the system says that the document does not exist
18 I did open the error in SAP CRM and it says that there are some settings required for billing
Since there is no billing relevance to this scenario in the item category the billing relevance is set to no billing
Please advice further
Kind Regards
Atul

Transferring results of material cost estimates to COPA

Hi,
I heard that it is possible to transfer the standard prices of materials estimated in material cost estimate to COPA.
Which transation is used for this purpose?
Regards,
Karol

Karol,
Incase of made to stock scenario, there is no specific transcation code to transfer the stanadrad price of a material to COPA it gets automatically transferred to COPA when the billing document are released to accounts.
The variance in the production order if any will be transferred to COPA when theproducion order is finally settled.

Where in Europe to buy RAM risers (original spare part)?

I posted in this thread about my non-starting Mac Pro 2008. It turns out the problem was a broken slot on one of the RAM risers. This happened once before which is rather annoying.
The repair shop wants 120€ for a riser card and I seem to remember they can be found for less. Does anyone know where in Europe one can buy such a card, original Apple spare part?
Many TIA
Philip

Not sure which part of Europe you are living, though eBay(uk it fr de) carry it.
