Sales order cost issue

Hi All,
I need help with the production issue.There are 2 sales orders which have cost recognized in one of the month
but they are not posting to WIP.Can anyone explain me the reason for this problem.
Thanks in advance.
Edited by: Reema Sen on Jun 10, 2009 2:19 AM

Hi,
You will have to enable project manufacturing if you want to collect manufacturing cost on a project. Once you create a project, add this project to a project manufacturing organization through a PJM responsibility. Once you associate project and PJM org you will be able to put the PJM organization in the sales order line created on a Project sales order in Oracle OM. Also, mention the project number in that sales order.
Once this sales order is shipped, run the cost collection program and it will bring in the manufacturing costs to project.
Hope it helps

Sales order Costing issues

Hello SAP Gurus,
I am trying to cost a sales order and the error that I get is "itemization for material xxxx in plant yyyy contains valuation relevent items without a cost element".
Please help me figure this out.
Thanks,
Nagendra.

In cost component structure assign the cost elements to component material in T Code OKTZ, the cost elements pertains to material consumption.

Sales order cost objective vs OKB9 Internal order cost object.

Hi All,
we facing an issue with sales order cost objective vs OKB9 cost object.
For IC PO service material, we assigned account assignment category 4.Reasonis Service material was not showing on G\R account.
The G\L account 7898788, we assigned to Service Item (material type DIEN) , for G\Cost 7898788 cost element is assigned in OKB9. Combination business + order 3478787.
Now conflict with sales order cost objective vs OKB9 internal order cost object.
While posting intercompany IR posting system thronging below error messageu2026
Enter only one true account assignment
Message no. KI249
Diagnosis
You made assignments to several objects in CO (cost center, order, project etc.). 2 of these have been created as true objects.
System Response
You are allowed only one account assignment for each cost-relevant account
How to resolve this issue.. Do I make any config changes in the system to overcome this issue?
Or any sub account to assin in VKOA config for internal orderu2026
Regards,
Adi

Hi Waman,
Thanks for your inputs.
Issue : IR failed to post for wax Sales Order -> ICPO - Error: Enter only one true account assignmentu2019.
Background:
Original setup in Test system & Productionu2013 account determination for servive (DIEN) account assignment category u20184u2019 was linked to G/L Account 34444444, As part of project orange u2019, account determination was linked to account u201889710100u2019.
Account u20188970100u2019 34444444 was replaced with 8970100 ,is not linked to any cost center & always post with reference to IC Sales Order as per config in OKB9 based on company code (US99) + cost element (89701100) + business area (9yyy). This caused a conflict while posting IR, system could not determine exact order for posting financial value.
Conflict: Actual Sales Order 34789343 is linked to PO via account assignment category & IC dummy sales order (8014331) is determine via config setting. Two cost objects cannot be linked to one IR G/L account booking.

Sales order cost estimate not happening because of GIT B/S account

Hi,
Requirement is to have Goods in Transit account in PGI and reverse it in Invoice no issues iwth it.
For the same sales order user wants to get cost using sales order cost estimate.
When i run that am getting following error
Item 00001 : Cost element 14001212 does not exist in CO area 0010 for 10/07/2011
Message no. KK689
Even though i maintain the CE for Balance sheet account with Cost element category 90 its not accpeting.
Can you please help me on how to proceed for sales order cost estimate.
Thanks,
sudha

hi,
if you give a balance sheet account in obyc , you will not be able to create a cost elementin category 01 , accordignly system will give error in sales order costing , as its not able to get correct cost element in cost planning.
if your requirement is just to post cogs to a balance sheet account which is goods in transit and when invoice is done cogs to be posted.
you should actually use revenue based RA functionality on sales order instead of assinging a balance sheet account in obyc.
in this approach;
- first assign a p/l account in obyc and create cost element in cateogry 01.
- create revenue based RA and assign RA key in requirement class.
- in OKG8 for RA category WIPR and your ra key assign , goods in transit account and give a offsetting account which is not cost element (credit entry in offsetting account nullify debit in account given in OBYC when GIT is posted , when billing is done system will automatically post a oppsite entry in both account).
-in OKG8 for RA category COSR give the COGS account and a offsetting account without cost element (credit entry in offsetting account nullify debit in account given in OBYC when COGS is posted).

Sales order Cost- Report

Hi,
I have an issue in MCTG. For some sales offices the value of Orders: Cost is showing as zero and for some sales offices the report is showing value.
Why is it so?Any known reasons?
Also is there any standard report which will show sales orders cost per sales organisation for a particular period?

Hi Rajkumar,
Analyse the report and read the documentation. It is not possible for sap also to give all in one report.

Sale order costing process : Help required

Hello All,
Belatted Happy New Year 2011 to all.
I have a question related to Sale Order Costing. It goes like this,
My client is into Pipe coating business who receives the pipe from the customers, coats it as per there requirements and despatches it thereon. There is no concept of FG here as its only the service he is doing on it and also when he receives the pipe there is no raw material cost on it. Raw materials for him would be chemicals etc which he uses to coat the pipe.
And also this demands variant configuration from SD and PP angel.
As this scenario is customer specific, it demands Sale Order based costing(Sale order cost estimate).
My doubt is, how the sale order costing process goes with.
In general scenarios, Make to stock, we use production order based costing where standard cost estimate is calculated for planned cost and actuals are incurred on PO settling the variance to COPA
Similarly how the costing goes with if Sale order cost estimate is used. What i think is, here instead of Standard cost estimate for plan, we will go with Sale order cost estimate at sale order level, and incur actual cost at production order and settle the cost of Production order to Sale order. Correct me if i am wrong, and request you ppl there to explain me the process of costing in the scenario said above.
apart from that, my client wants the flexibility to change the cost estimate at quotation level.
Please suggest me with solution explaining the process of costing here.
Thanks in advance,
Ravi Kumar

Hi Ravi
Your understanding of the scenario is very much right...
In your case, you need to have sales order as cost object...
Process
Your stock would be non valuated stock, because the FG is not your stock.. You are just doing a service
Based on the characteristics chosen in the Sales orders, system would determine the Sales order BOM
Based on sales order BOM, Sales order cost estimate would be calculated....
You would receive the Customer pipe in your stock against the sales order... It would be a non valuated GR... You can track the Qty only
Sales order would trigger a production order... The prod order can have its planned cost, which is only for information sake
The Customer Pipe, Chemicals would be issued to prod order to coat the pipe... And also Labor/machine hrs may be confirmed
There after your production order would be settled on Sales order
Then you would do PGI (Post Goods Isue).. This will not trigger any accounting doc
Then you do billing... The sales revenue would be posted on the sales order
Then you settle the sales order to COPA.. This will close the cycle
Configuration
The IMG Settings required would be as below
1. You would use account assignment category (AAC) E
2. Create a Requirement class with
a. AAC = E.... (Means sales order is CO Object)
b. Valuation Indicator = BLANK (Means Non Valuated Stock)
c. Costing ID/Costing Method = As per your choice to calculate the Sales order cost estimate
3. Assign this req class to Requirement Type
4. Give this req type to your PP/SD team.. They would assign it to Strategy group / Item Category to determine it in the sales order

Sales order costing - tracking of actual costs at sales order item level

Hi
We are going with sales order costing for services
Service material is non-valuated hence the scenario is non-valuated sales order stock
PP module is not implemented.
I am having following questions
1. How to track the actual costs at sales order item level? Is Internal order/CO production order is required to be created for the same?
2. Can I do activity confirmations directly from cost center to sales order item.
3. Can Raw material is issued directly against sales order item.
4. Is Sales order is a real or statistical account assignment object?

Duplicate Overheads in Sales Order costing

Hi Experts,
We are facing an issue in VA02 and VA22. Here we are getting duplicate overheads in costing as below image:
Kindly help. I am an ABAPer and debugged for it but could not find any bug. So this functional approach could help, I thought.
Thank you so much.
Jayaprakash

As Warren mentioned, you need to work with your CO specialist. To analyze the issue, more information on the process is needed. If the process involves sell from stock, then take a look at OSS 1972019 - Sales Order Costing: Duplicate Overhead Rates for Sell-from-Stock
Or if it is a re-work scenario, you may need to implement OSS 1844495 - Rework for product costing: duplicate overheads and 1204894 - Rework sales order costing: Duplicate process costs

Sale Order Cost Estimate

Hi,
We have maintained Material BOM (usage 1) as well as Sale Order BOM (usage 5).
When we run the Sales Order Cost estimate, which BOM would be picked for costing the sales order.

Hi,
The issue is not with respect to selection of the Sale order BOM or routing. System is correctly selecting the specific BOM and routing for costing.
However, when we display the sale order cost estimate, when we navigate to the Qty Struc tab and double click on the sale order BOM or Routing Group, it does not take me to the specific Sale Order BOM.
Please suggest.

Production order costing issue in MTO with variant configuration

We have an urgent issue to be resolved in production order costing in MTO scenario.
We have two level configuration with configuration passed from parent to children. The parent has many configurable materials as child(semi finished BOM items) and BOM items of these child has again different raw materials(3 level BOM with last level being all raw materials) . The production order for parent created with reference to sales order.
While costing production order of parent, total planned price is displayed as zero as we have maintained price control std price for all configurable materials(parent & child) with zero price being configurable materials.Configurations are correct in production order material and BOM components(configurable materials). BOM item selections, Item quanties are also correct.
Sales order costing is working fine and rolled-up correctly as per costing settings. We have looked at costing configuration for production order and did not find anything unusual.
Kindly suggest possible reasons for not showing costing result in production order as per configuration copied from sales order or any possible configuration or master data likely missing ?
Thanks in advance.
Kind Regards
Ganeshan Kalembeth

Dear GANESHAN KALEMB,
Kindly open production order in change mode and reschedule order, cost order, check material availability and check capacity availability.
after doing this in main menu goto > log > overview > see error list if there is any, let me know, your problem can be solved.
Thanks

Sales Order Costing-Information/Message

Dear All,
At the time of sales order costing, if the Component Cost(material Cost) is 70% of Total cost , SAP system should display information or warning message.
Please give your valuable suggestion

Hi,
CK869 is introduced after 46C to inform you that the total of the cost component is different from that of itemization.
The message CK 869 is normally generated correctly. This is clarified in note 168238. If an assembly component is subsequently costed again, the new costing results are updated to the cost component split as this information is dynamically called, unlike the itemization.
Please check if any of the sub-components have been costed after the header material has been costed.
Once the header material is also re-costed (after all sub-components have been costed) message CK 869 will no longer occur.
The issue arises due to the make-up of the cost component split; the system must read this information dynamically, therefore the most up-to-date is always visible. The itemization always reflects the data at the time of the original costing.
To avoid such problems in the future, you should do the following:
-> Always cost the header material again if a material component with changed values is being costed.
-> Cost all materials again after price calculation is run for a PARTICULAR period.

Waman

How to identify Sale Order costing is required for Items in Sales Order

Howstandard cos estimate*w to identify Sale Order costing is required for Items in Sales Order?
On which criteria we can conclude Sale Order Costing is reqd ?
? * means what and wat is the purpose and how to chk for the Item in Sales Order, either it is required or not**.

Hi Dharamveer,
The best way is to make the order qty is equal to the quantity delivered. This way, when some one looks at this order in future - they think that the order was for X and the delivery was for X qty is completed. They will not know the background of the issue unless they go through change log. Even in change log, they see that the Ord qty was adjusted, but may not understand why?
The good practice is to make order qty equal to already delivered qty.
Create a new line for the remaining qty and reject the same with appropriate reason for rejection. This way, any one can understand the background , the reason for rejection easily. Hope it helps !

Sales order Costing mark and release

Dear all,
Kindly help on the following issue:-
Can we mark and release Sale order costing like product costing(in CK24).
best regards,
Gaurav

Hi,
Sale order costing is determined by Requirement Class and Item category defined for MTO process in Product Costing.
Sale Order costing keeps changing when you compare normal costing with CK11n or CK40n.

Open Balance on Sales Order Cost Report

Hi SAP Group -
I have a couple questions about the settlement of manufacturing variance to COPA.
When our settlement process is complete (production order and sales order both settled to COPA), there is a balance remaining on the sales order cost report which is equal to the manufacturing variance on the production order.
It seems that the manufacturing variance is posting from the production order to the sales order, but is not being assigned to the PSEG and flowing to COPA.
I am looking for advice in two areas:
First, how do we "clear" these balances on old orders that are already settled?
Second, how do we prevent this from happening on future orders?
Thanks !!!

Refer to OSS 183250 and note 186485.
If you dont specify in the settlement profile for the production order that the variances are not transferred from the production order into CO-PA, you will settle the variances to <b>CO-PA twice</b>: once from the production order (broken down into variance categories), and once from the sales order item. The settlement rule still references the material and not the sales order item.
Special Features of Product Cost by Sales Order with Valuated Sales Order Stock

You may want to check the period of the variance settlement from mfg order to sales order and ensure the settlement of sales order is also done the same period, if the type is PER.
