Resource Rate Information for Costing

In the MS TN article for best practices for submitting and reporting on actual work (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh694531%28v=office.14%29.aspx), the recommended best practice is to report directly against the actual work captured in timesheets.
The problem with this is the timesheet tables do not have resource cost/rate information. From what we've seen in other TN articles, resource rate table doesn't exist in the reporting database? How then is it possible to base reporting on actual work from
the timesheet?
According to MS, it's easy... "While many calculations are made in a project plan, such as cost based on cost rates, these can be easily replicated with timesheet data"
We could get actual work in the assignments tables, but the actual hours are then changed by EVA calculations and therefore won't match weekly or monthly invoices for receiving.
What are our options?

Indeed you're right.
As far as I remember, the publish DB has the MSP_RESOURCES table which contains a RES_RATE_TABLE column with the rate table UID. Then you'll have to dig into the publish DB to find where is located the rate tables since I don't remember.
Hope this helps,

Exchange rate type for planning cost

Hy all,
our release is 4.7 .
Is it possible to change now the exchange rate type from M to P for costing and fix a budget figure valid for the whole year to evaluate standard cost?
Thanks in advance
Vir

Dear Vir,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/a8/352537b1d21763e10000009b38f889/frameset.htm
You can define the exchange rate for a currency pair using either direct or indirect quotation.
Indirect exchange rates are always given with the local currency or reference currency as the to-currency.
Hope this will help.

Capacity leveling log showing duplicate information for Resource

Friends,
Need one help.
When I am looking into the Capacity leveling logs, I see duplicate information for every Resource. There is no difference in the information regarding resource utilization (before/after). For every resource we are getting this duplicate records in the logs. Sometime there is one difference on timing, (when the resource was processed by the background job.)
Text . Details . Current Date . Time
Resource W10_U0JA_001
Parameters
Resource utilization
Resource W10_U0JA_001
Parameters
Resource utilization
There is no difference in details resource utilization, yet resource are shown two times, for every resource.
We are on SCM 7.0 . Is this standard? if so, then why?
Can you please share your opinion/thoughts. Thanks a ton.
Satyajit

Hi Satyajit,
This can happen because of resource setting in APO.
You need to check the following:
Bucket definition
Resource utilization
Time Zone
You should check also the "Time-Cont Capacity" tab details where start, end and break time is maintained,
You should also verify the "External Capacity" Tab data
There is no other reason apart from that.
You can also check the PPMs which are using this resource and some setting in PPM modes and other operation data.
If it is okay then possibility you need to check the model and version assignments.
You can remove the version assignment and delete the resource and again CIF it to APO.
Possibly it will help.

Exch.Rate Type for Determining the Proposed Rate

Dears,
I defined, in the document type to be used for Goods Receipt, the field T003-KURST (Exch.Rate Type for Determining the Proposed Rate) equal to u2018Pu2019: exchange rate type used also for standard translation for cost planning.
Then, I created a Purchase Order using a vendor in foreign currency, and in the header section within tab u2018Delivery/Invoiceu2019 in field "Exchange Rate" I filled in the exchange rate valid at the moment of the Purchase Order creation and I also put the flag in the indicator "Fixing of Exchange Rate".
Afterwards, I posted the Goods Receipt against the Purchase Order created at the previous step.
My expectations were to find in FI accounting:
- 1 line item for stock increase (transaction BSX) valuated using the exchange rate defined in the document type in field T003-KURST;
- 1 line item for GR/IR increase (transaction WRX) valuated using the exchange rate defined in the Purchase Order and indicated as fixed;
- 1 line item for difference (transaction PRD) between stock and GR/IR.
but when I checked the accounting document, these my expectations were not met, because:
- the line item for stock increase (transaction BSX) has not been valuated using the exchange rate defined in the document type in field T003-KURST, but a differet exchange rate that I didnu2019t find defined for this couple of currencies;
- the line for GR/IR increase (transaction WRX) has been valuated as expected using the exchange rate defined in the Purchase Order and indicated as fixed;
- the line item for difference (transaction PRD) between stock and GR/IR has been created.
The help (F1) for field T003-KURST, show the following indication:
Exch.Rate Type for Determining the Proposed Rate
    Rate type under which the proposed rate is defined for foreign currency documents.
Use
    If no exchange rate is specified in the document header when entering documents in foreign currencies, the system will automatically select a rate from the currency translation rate table. The system then converts all amounts in the document's line items using this exchange rate.
    The system uses the average rate as a default value as long as no other exchange rate type is entered here.
Based on this message, my expectation is that all documentu2019s line items have to be converted at the exchange rate type defined in field T003-KURST. And in the case mentioned above, the line for stock (BSX) should be converted at exchange rate type defined in field T003-KURST.
While, correctly, the line for GR/IR (WRX) has been converted at the exchanged rate fixed in the purchase order.
Can you please let me know how can be fixed the problem for the line related to the stock allowing the conversion using the exchange rate type defined in field T003-KURST?
Thanks and Regards,
Jody

Hello Jody,
kindly consider the information contained under the attached note:
191927 - Posting logic: GR for foreign currency PO.
As stated in it:
Postings to the material stock account (BSX):
In order to be able to determine the value of the stock posting, the
valuation methods which exist in the material master in local currency
(standard price, total value of stock) must be converted into document
currency. This translation is thus carried out on the posting date with
the exchange rate type that is assigned to the FI document type used,
that is, independent from the exchange rate defined in the purchase
order!
If no exchange rate type is assigned to an FI document type, the system
uses exchange rate type M.
Please, check in your system the settings stored in the customizing
transaction OBF4 for the document type WE (Goods receipt). If the field
'Exch.Rate Type for foreign currency documents' is empty, the exchange
rate type M is used.
The fixed conversion rate in the purchase order refers to the valuation
approach in the purchase order and, therefore, to the costs for the
purchased material. Therefore, the posting amount to the GR/IR clearing
account (WRX) is converted according to the fixed conversion rate in the
purchase order header.
On the other side the fixed conversion rate in the purchase order is not
designed for converting the posting values to the material stock account
(BSX). This conversion reflects the situation of the valuation of the
material stock and is therefore designed to be independent of the
conversion rate defined in the purchase order. This is what note 191927
outlines.
In the note 191927 you will also locate relevant information about the
postings to the KDM key:
Exchange rate differences (KDM):
As of Release 4.0A, exchange rate differences (KDM) can be posted to a
separate account. The exchange rate differences result from the
difference of the clearing value on the GR/IR clearing account (WRX) in
document currency that is translated to the current exchange rate stored
in the system in local currency from the clearing value in local
currency that is determined with the conversion factor from the purchase
order or the invoices.
The offsetting entry for the exchange rate differences is settled with
the price difference.
(Price difference = GR/IR amount - stock value - exchange rate
difference)
KDM is only posted during the GR if the flag T169P-XPLCU is initial,
therefore, KDM postings will not occur during incoming invoices.
This is determined in the IMG path:
Materials Management
-> Logistics Invoice Verification
   -> Incoming Invoice
      -> Configure How Exchange Rate Differences Are Treated
Here, you have the following options per Company Code:
.- The exchange rate differences will be calculated from the difference
   between the exchange rate at the time of the goods receipt and the
   exchange rate at the time of the invoice receipt.
.- The exchange rate differences will be calculated from the difference
   between the exchange rate at the time of the invoice receipt and an
   assumed exchange rate that is valid for a specific amount of time,
   such as a year or a season.
.- No exchange rate differences will be calculated. Instead, differences
   from exchange rate variations will be considered as price differences
   and posted to a price difference account.
The field T001A-CURDT for the company code will determine which date is
relevant to calculate the exchange rate difference.
This is set under the IMG path:
Financial Accounting
-> Financial Accounting Global Settings
   -> Company Code
      -> Multiple Currencies
         -> Define Additional Local Currencies
So, finally, the value for KDM calculates as difference between
GR/IR amount in local currency - GR/IR amount in foreign
currency*exchange rate.
I hope this information can be of help.
cheers

Hello,
This is not the place where you should look into. You looking at the parallel currencies maintained in the system.
However, you have to look for exchange rates are being matained between two currencies.
Either you can maintain a direct quote or an indirect quote.
Please go to transaction code OB08
Some important notes for your information:
Currency Key must be assigned to every currency used. Most of the currencies are
Already defined in the SAP system with standard international currency keys.
For every combination of two currencies, you can maintain different exchange rates
Which are distinguished by an exchange rate type.
Exchange Rate Types are:
Historical Rate
Bank Selling Rate
Bank Buying Rate
Average Rate
the rate on certain key dates
u2026u2026
Translation Ratios: The relationship between currencies must be maintained per
Exchange rate type and currency pair using translation ratios. E.g., 1 USD = 1 GBP
Or 1 USD = 100 JPY.
There are two types of Quotations available in SAP:
Direct Quotation
Indirect Quotation
In Direct Quotation, one unit of foreign currency is quoted for the local
Currency, where as in indirect quotation, one unit of local currency is
quoted for the foreign currency.
Direct Quotation: 1 USD = 44 INR
One unit of foreign currency USD costs the displayed number of units of local currency
Indirect Quotation: 1 INR = 0.02273 USD
For one unit of the local currency INR you will receive the displayed number of units
of foreign currency.
You are looking at the following place: (This may have performance problems, unless it is a critical business requirement)
You can maintain two parallel currencies in additional to local currency or
Company Code Currency. You can select two currencies from the
following currencies:
Group currency
Group currency is the currency which is specified in the client table or
which is to be entered there.
Hard Currency
Hard currency is a country-specific second currency which is used in
countries with high inflation.
Index-based currency
Index-based currency is a country-specific fictitious currency
which is required in some countries with high inflation for external
reporting (for example, tax returns).
Global company currency
Global company currency is the currency which is used for an internal trading partner.
Maintaining the two parallel currencies would highly impact the system performance as
the system is preparing additional two ledgers, besides the normal ledger.
Thanks,
Ravi

Programmatically update a Project after a resource rate change.

Hello, I have the following scenario (Project Server 2010):
1. The resource standard rate for an enterprise resource (Joe) have been changed from $120 to $125. The change was made in PWA
2. Joe has assignments in several projects
3. PMO wants to see the updated projects cost (due the rate change) in a Project Center view
Easy Solution:
In Project Pro, open and publish each project. Works just fine, the Project Center view shows the updated project costs.
Desire Solution: Using the PSI update all projects. At first sight is pretty simple:
1. ReadProjectList (only those where Joe has assignments)
2. For each project in the list do QueuePublish
But, seems to be there is no method in the PSI that "loads" the new resource rate, as Project Pro does when the project is opened.
I have tried with QueueUpdateProject and QueUpdateProjectTeam but I have no luck. Furthermore, programmatically I have made other changes to the project, like add a new resource to the team, then publish the project, and the change is shown but still it
continues working with the previous rate.
Any idea on how to achieve this?
Thanks,
Daniel

I just got off the phone with Apple. They said it was a software-update related problem. I restarted the computer and everything is working.

There are values for cost element 80000 that are not assigned to any line I

Hi,
While calulating WIP I am getting below error:
There are values for cost element 80000 that are not assigned to any line ID
Message no. KJ161
Diagnosis
Not all values for the cost element are assigned to a line ID.
Procedure
Assign the cost element to a line ID. If you don't want to include the cost element in results analysis, assign it to a line ID of category N.
You can access a detailed list of unassigned cost elements as follows: Start results analysis in the individual processing mode (transaction KKA1, KKA2, or KKA3). Select the field Full log. Execute the function. On the next screen, choose Logs -> Parameter List in the menu. A list is generated. The unassigned values are shown at the end of the list.
If cost element "+++++++++" was shown in the message, this is because in the assignment of costs and revenues to line IDs, you have not used a cost element other than the full masking "+++++++++". In this case a presummarization eliminates the information on the cost element.
Cost Element 80000 is of type 43 Internal activity allocation, I have Masked this in OKGB as below:
Controlling Area = FLGP
RA Version = 0
Masked Cost Element = 000008++++
Masked Cost Center = ++++++++++
Masked Activity Type = +++++
ReqToCap= COS (Secondary Cost)
I have Configure OKGA also but still system is giving error.
Please help me to understand.
Regards,
Vivek

I was wondering if you could help me I am trying to configure the RA key for Refurb orders and when I go into txn OKGB for the Assignment of C/E for WIP there is sample config already there which I copied. But I am having difficulty getting the KK1A to work I am getting the message as outlined above. Could you explain how this OKGB works and how to configure it a bit more fully. In my sample config there is a ReqTOCap section and in it there are letters like ABR, EK, FK, EL what do they mean. This is a screen shot of it. I am not sure how to go about this entirely so any light you could shed would be greatly appreciated. Can you suggest a good resource or documentation you may have, would be greatly appreciated.

How do you use Default Resource Access Information?

I have some 10g Forms & Reports that I want to use with SSO and they will all be connecting to the database with the same connection info. I know how to configure a Default Resource Access Information, but how do you use this with Forms & Reports?

Douglas,
the default Resource Access Infomation should be the connection information right? This is used in conjunction with SSO. You need to configure your F&R applications to delegate authentication to SSO by placing ssoMode=true in the config section of formsweb.cfg.
The Forms Servlet will connect to OID retrieve the Resource Access Information (descriptor) for a given user and automatically log them into the application.
Users will need a global identity in OID and SSO must be enabled to use resource access info with F&R

Could not find installation information for this machine contact applecare

I installed Lion on my MacBook, worked great. After 2 months I wanted to clean install the Lion on the same Macbook; went to Apple Support website and there they had instructions on how to clean install Lion.
I followed the instructions and erased the partition where the OS Lion was installed. Then I tried to re-install it, it kept saying "could not find installation information for this machine contact applecare".
When I contacted apple care, they asked me to pay 49 dollars in order to get help from them. I already paid the cost for the LION OS and now they want another 49 bucks. This is just insane. I'm not a fan of Apple, Mac or iCrap. But I was thinking to buy a new Mac after selling this one. Now I have no interest in buying any Mac product. Windows 7 is much much better than Lion OS X.
I have to fix this before I sell it on ebay so Has anyone tried to clean install Lion ?

I'm with you, OS X Lion has turned a lot of stomachs.
Here's how to go about what you need to do:
Get out your 10.6 installer disk, make sure it's clean and polished (bit of rubbing alcohol and a very soft cloth)
Get 2 blank external drives, connect one and hold c and boot off the 10.6 installer disk, use Disk Utility to format the external drive use
Erase>Security Option> Zero all data, wait
under the partition tab
1 partition, option MBR, format FAT
Disconnect and reboot.
Repeat the same procedure for the second drive and format the
Erase>Security Option> Zero all data, wait
under the partition tab
1 partition, option GUID, format OS X Extended Journaled
Quit and install 10.6 on the external GUID drive.
Reboot holding the option key, you can boot off the 10.6 external drive, setup, use your same user name as before, update to 10.6.8, grab your files off the OSX Lion partition, transfer a copy to the FAT formatted drive.
What you do is your choice,
To continue using the machine under 10.6
you can erase the entire (select the whole internal drive, not just the OS X Lion Paritition) and use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone 10.6 external to the internal drive,
To sell the machine with a fresh 10.6 install
or simply hold c boot off the 10.6 installer disk and install 10.6 on the internal drive and upon reboot, just hard shutdown by pressing the powerbutton before going through setup. The next person who gets the machine will be greeted by the setup again.
You can use the files on the FAT drive on your Windows PC in some cases.
Else download the free LibreOffice and it can read quite a few file formats.

Taxes and duties on components for cost plan

Hi experts
I am working for below scenario:
The components those are planned must be added with applicable taxes for cost plan.
In case of imported goods, the applicable import duties need to be added to cost plan.
Similarly in case of external services, the service tax to be included.
For this purpose i wish to maintain different costing sheets (with various tax rates).
The relevant costing sheet is added in the activity/ component.
Is this OK or any other solution?
In this case, the predefined costing sheets to be used. As and when new rate comes in to picture, customizing to be done.
Any solution, with which user can make use of different variables easily?
warm regards ramSiva

Hi Virendra
I will maintain different costing sheets as follows:
00001: No overhead
00002: VAT 10%
00003: Service tax 12%
No one is defaulted with any of the profile.
I am thinking to make the field at activity level mandatory.
So, user has to choose the appropriate costing sheet at each activity level.
As the description is maintained with detail of tax, the user can choose the right one.
I request to comment and suggest if any easy way to achieve this requirement.
warm regards

What are the different steps for costing related to repetitive manufacturi

Hi PP guys
can any one explain the different steps for costing in repetitive scenario as compared to discrete scenario what is the major difference
thanks
shaik

Dear Michel,
!.In REM scenario Product cost collector is required for all the products for which production booking is
to be done.
2.For each production version created a product cost collector will be created in KKF6N.
3.Without a product cost collector production confirmation can not be done in MFBF.
4.Product cost collector is the cost object in REM scenario.
5.Once after creating material master,BOM,work center,rate routing,aproduction version the next steps
is creating product cost collector.
6.While creating the PCC,the system creates a preliminary cost estimate nothing bu the sum up of the
BOM and dare routing cost.
7.Either a prelimnary cost or a standard cost estimate can be used for doing the production
confirmation in MFBF as per the REM profile assigned.
8.Standard cost estimate can be done in CK40N and this costs gets updated in the material master.
9.For every production confirmation made in MFBF the costs gets accumulated in the respective PCC.
10.the variances can be settled periodically as per the business requirement.
