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.

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?

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).

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

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

Sales Order Costing Error Log Display

When I look at Sales Order costing thru VA03 or when I run the Multi-level BOM costing for sales order CK87_99 I can not display the costing error log. I can generate the log thru VA02, but we need to limit the Sales Order change transaction to the Order Management group and did not want to give change order access to the product cost group.
Any options to get the costing error log from VA03?
Thanks

I cheeked OKY9 and the Update tab had the "Save Error Log" checked, but on the Misc tab the "Log Messages but do not save" on the error message field was selected. When I changed the selection to "Log and Save Message" this corrected my problem.
Your suggestion guided me in the right direction. Thanks,

Inventory Valuation based on Sales Order Costing

Dear All
My client requirement is the inventory value should happen based on the "Sales Order Cost Estimate"
Kindly give the configuration steps, if it is possible in SAP
Regards
Anilkumar

Hi rback59,
The information you have provided is very clear and accurate. Thank you. I am hoping that you can assist with a related problem I am facing:
We have sales order costing in place with the Material Ledger and multiple valuation. For financial reporting purposes, we have a legal valuation/local currency variant entered in our requirements class (46) and we are using this to value our sales order stock. The problem we are facing is that the requirements class allows us to enter only one costing variant. This means we are not able to create a cost estimate for our two additional valuation views (group and profit centre). As a result, we are forced to use the material standard price in the material master for the group and profit centre views which is not ideal.
Do you know if there is a way to create cost estimates in all 3 valuation views for a single sales order line item?
Any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ross

Routing data for configurable products (Sales order costing)

Hi
I am runnign sales order cost estimate for configurable product. here I want to confirm the activity quantity with cost estimate.
Pls let me know where can I check the activity quantity information . Pls help
Thanks
Sneha

Hi Sneha
I am bit confused with the terms you used..
you cannot confirm activity qty while doing cost estimate... Activity confirmation happens during Production Confirmation
Are you talking about missing activity qty/cost in sales order cost estimate?? Contact your PP consultant... You should have a routing attached while creating the sales order.. If that is there, then Activity cost would show up in the sales order cost estimate

Sales order costing release not possible due to Goods in transti account

Hi,
Business introduced Goods - in - Transit (Balance sheet account), so PGI will always post to GIT and Invoice it will get reversed.

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.

Sales Order Cost Estimates -- Versions?

In our MTS plant we are creating cost estimates each month with different version numbers so they can easily be compared to review cost changes.
This concept in our MTO plant is (of course) a problem.
We would like to create a dummy sales order and on each line list a KMAT and build an "average" configuration. We use variant config, so the sales order bom is built automatically. It also costs automatically. We would like to save this cost estimate and compare it with a cost estimate of the same configuration next month. I do not have an option for version CK51n, nor do I see a Costing Date in KEKO table. Either of these items for MTS would create a second cost estimat and allow comparison.
Is there a way to compare Sale Order Cost Estimates across periods?
Any other suggestions as to how to obtain the required data??
Thank you for all suggestions!!

Any one think of a solution?
thanks

Sales order cost estimate with GIT account

Kindly help this is kind of urgent req for us

Hello Ashley
Yes, if you have done your settings correctly, especially Requirements class set up (see the documentation link), then the cost estimate will flow to a condition type in Pricing, usually EK01/EK02 conditions. These conditions are used to calculate sales prices (PR00) in cost-plus (mark-up) scenarios.
Link: http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/90/ba6da4446711d189420000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
However Profit margin as calculated in a sales order comes from VPRS condition (which is based in Material Master) and is the difference of net value and VPRS condition value in normal circumstance.
Hope other more knowledgeable experts will weigh in.
