SAP DELIVERED COSTING VARIANT

Is there an SAP delivered costing variant, valuation variant and costing type for group valuation and profit center valuation??
Is it necessary to have additional costing variants for group valuation and profit centre valuations if the busibess decideds to activate multiple valuation approaches??

Is there some way I could see what the settings and config would be. Ofcourse no two organization are same and the settings would be different but one can atleast get a general idea and logic.
I would like to know what the settings would be for costing variants valuation variants and the valuation type, both for group valuation and profit center valuation.
Thanks

Costing variant in OKKN

We are implementing SAP best practices. While maintaining costing variant in OKKN I didn't find three fields which need to be entered. These are org level, cost element indicator and currency indicator.
But when I checked in SE16 for table V_CK03 these fields are there i.e. ORGEB, KOAKNZ, WAEKNZ.
Could someone tell me why these are not available for maintanance in OKKN.

When creating a new Costing Variant you might want use the settings that exist in one of the delivered Costing Variants and change just the pieces that you need to change in order to achieve the results that you're looking for. For instance, you may wish to use a different Date Control from the setting that is delivered with PPC1 (Std Cost Est - Month). To do so, you would click on the Date Control item found on the 'Control' tab. The options are then presented to you and you can choose the settings that you would like to use (i.e., in 'Costing Date From' you could change the setting from 'Start of Next Month' to 'Current Date'--you would only make this change, of course, if you wished the current date to default into the 'Costing Date From' field when you create Cost Estimates in CK11N. Without making the change the first day of the next month will default into the 'Costing Date From' field).

Creation of a new costing variant to cost production orders

Hi all,
Currently the business is only able to cost a vehicleu2019s production order at the standard cost value which is determined at the start of the year.
During the year a number of the purchasing values will be updated with a new contract price, this increase will not be reflected in the standard cost until the end of the year.
The business would like a new costing variant which will cost an already created vehicle in SAP by its production order at the u201CCurrent Costu201D (current purchasing info record value).
It will need to be calculated in the following way:
u2022Purchased material - at purchase cost from info record (see below for applicable exchange rate).
u2022Manufactured material - child material to be at purchase cost (from info record). Routing cost (labour\overhead, etc) at current criteria.
u2022No allowance for CPI. [WHAT_ DOES_CPI_MEAN_?]
u2022Exchange rate: ideally, fields are provided to input exchange rate. If this is not possible then apply current monthu2019s exchange;
u2022FRAu2019s - current rate from the info record.
u2022Summary of total material cost by origin code with ability to drill down to line level.
u2022The output of the report will need to be similar to the layout of a production order but with only the current value displayed.
We have some problems to understand this request: we don't know the transaction which is used by the users to costificate a production order and what does it mean "CPI". We are not sure on the feasibility of the costing variant requested because it must consider both actual costs and standard costs.
It should costificate in this way:
(Actual Cost of Row Material * Bom's standard qty) + (Standard price * Standard production time (in the routings).
Could you help us?
Many thanks to all of you, best regards.
Alanis

You can create a new costing variant with a valuation variant that points to inforecords for material prices. Go to OKKN t-code and create the required configuration and start using the new costing variant to measure the current cost of making vehicles.

Query ref. Sales Revenues v Delivered Costs of these

Hi Experts
I picked up on the following SQL Query in answer to another users requirements.
SELECT Distinct T0.DocNum 'Invoice#', T0.DocDate, T0.DocDueDate,
T0.GrosProfit, T1.ItemCode, T1.Quantity, T1.Price, T3.DocNum 'Delivery#'
FROM OINV T0 INNER JOIN INV1 T1 ON T0.DocEntry = T1.DocEntry
inner join DLN1 T2 on t0.docentry = t2.trgetentry
inner join ODLN T3 on t3.docentry = t2.docentry
WHERE DateDiff(MM,T0.DocDate, GetDate())=1
Is it possible to modify this SQL so as to :
1. Be able to determine what the "Delivered Cost" (as per per the Jnl linked to the Delivery Docket' ) of the Sales Invoice was.
2. Change date criteria so as to show only Sales Invoice posted between x and y dates?
Any help would be much appreciated
Derek

Hi Rahul
It's ok - I must have missed part of SQL when I cut and pasted from email instead of directly from your SAP reply.
From what I can see, your SQL is taking the Purchase Price from the GP icon on the Sales Invoice.
However, the Delivered Cost (ie. the journal created on delivery) is working through Stocks on FIFO basis.
Therefore getting different answer.
Is there any way of picking up the Delivered Cost in this SQL?
Thanks for your help to date.

Maintaining a costing version in a costing variant

Hi,
I am creating a costing variant for standard mat. estimation. I have to maintain a costing version.
I don't know how to set all the parameters in costing version in OKYD. Will I have to set variant for transfer price, exchange rate and quantity structure?
Why do all these parameters show under and not beside the name of the element in the Assignment Tab of costing variant.
Best wishes,
karol

Hi karol
For standard costing purpose - costing version 01 is defualt version offered by SAP.
With costing version u can create different / various cost estimates created for SFG or FG material
You need to enter version 01 in customizing control paramters for costing variant - viz, in valuation variant, costing type etc
The need to create diff costing versions depend on the requirements.
Ex. Exchange rate is determined thru valuation variant, If you wish to have diff exchange rate for costing - u can enter diff rate and define it in diff costing version
So, when u do costing for a material with two version u will have diff costs
Version 1 - say 100 USD
Version 2 - Say 120 USD with diff exchange rate defined
Again in most of the implementations we dont come across using diff versions. These are considered only when base version costing is stabilized and controls are put in place for entire product cost cycle
System offers quite a lot of options, but everything cannot be chosen at a time to evaluate. My suggestion would be stabilize with the base and then look for these options.
Hope the above clarifies - Pls assign points as a way to say thanks

Dear,
tell me the one thing that whats ur thinking behind the mentaining the new cost variant.If ur created the new one using the same same parameter which is used in PM01 & PM02 .so its rework.all that i mean u get the same output as standard SAP gives .So try to avoid creating new one if ur nt having option den create new one it will not damage any costing parameter while order processing .but do take help of CO and FI while creating Costing variant and costing sheet. it will work.

Change of Costing Variant in Marking Allowance for CK24 price update

Dear All,
In CK24, price updation previously i had selected one costing variant for one particular material and released the standard price. Now, I am trying to do price update for a different material for which I used different costing variant for doing the material cost estimate. Now when I am going to Marking Allowance in CK24 for that particular company code the previous costing variant is only displaying. But now for the current material that is not the costing variant for which i need price updation. It is just displaying the old costing variant.
Please let me know how to change the costing variant for the same period.

Srikanth

Hi Srikanth,
1. IMG: Logistics - General, Retail Pricing
Define list variant and assign items
              Enhance or create a new list variant with list field VKP01
2. IMG: Logistics - General, Retail Pricing
Texts for list fields
              Adjust the text for the list field, for example, PP old
3. Define a new SD condition type ZEKA, for example as a copy of VKP0 (Transaction V/06)
              You can create this new condition either as a separate condition or if it is always determined together with, for example VKP0, you can define it as a condition supplement of VKP0. You achieve this by not assigning an access sequence to ZEKA but including it in the condition supplement schema (schema VKP000 in the standard system) instead. In addition, assign the supplement schema of the main condition (master data subscreen, for example schema VKP000). The main condition must be contained in the calculation schema used so that the condition supplements can be found.
4. Insert the new condition type ZEKA in the sales price calculation schema (Transaction V/08)
              Enhance the schema (assignment per pricing type) with the new condition ZEKA. In the standard system, we deliver schema WWS001 and WWS002. You can insert ZEKA at the end of the schema as a statistical condition.
5. IMG: Logistics - General, Retail Pricing
Control - control per list field, allowed costing levels
              For the sales price calculation schema used, you must set control parameters for the list fields EKPNN and VKP01.
List field EKPNN: In the lower subscreen (Saving list fields in master conditions) enter the new condition type ZEKA (application V). If the new condition type has an access sequence, that is, it is not used as a condition supplement, then you must specify in screen 'Allowed pricing levels' the condition tables in which ZEKA should be stored.
List field VKP01: In the mid subscreen (Transport calculating schema data for list field), specify ZEKA as SP condition type.
Note: if you want to send ZEKA for example in the assortment list as a condition, then you must also enhance the schema for calculating the sales price (VKP001, VKP002 or VKP003 in the standard system) with ZEKA.
If still not working ping me,

Costing variant/valuation variant

dear gurus,
    can any body explain the costing variants,valuation variant,costing sheet,costing type,how it is integrated in production order in controlling tab.can any body explains the customizing part of product costing and overview.
if any body is having the product costing material please send to [email protected]
    please through some light on product costing
                                                                        -gide

Hi,
Every cost estimate we create is based on the costing variant.
In the costing variant we define the control parameters and settings for costing
Settings contains info such as prices that will be used to cost the materials and activities
Control parameters are used for the automatic determination of of qty str ie Bom and Routing
Every costing variant contains a valuation variant and a costing type , date control , qty str control.
Valuation variant:
Valuation variant defines the price with which the material and activities are valuated
determines 1.which price is taken from material masterrecord to calculate the material cost
2.
which price is taken from cost center accounting to calculate the costs for internal activities
3. which price is taken from purchasing info rec to calculate the the costs for ext activities / subcontracting
4. which costing sheet is used to calculate the over head costs
Costing type:
costing type defines the valuation view to be costed and defines the purpose of costing.
Date control :
       controls the validity of the cost estimste , qty str date.
Valuation class:
For material costing the valuation class controls the cost element to which the planned cost of the material are assigned and the cost element under which the actual costs are updated when the material produced is delivered to stock
Valuation category:
specified the criteria according to which partial stocks are distinguished from one another
Price control indicator:
the price control indicator specifies whether the stock of the material is valuated with standard price or moving avg price
costing sheet:
            The costing sheet links all the functions for overhead calculation.
    In the costing sheet we determine the following
    1.The direct costs to which the over head is applied
    2.The condition under which the over head is applied
    3.Whether the over head is applied as a percentage basis or on a qty basis
    4.The amt of overhead percentage
    5.The validity period of the over head
    6.Which object is credited ( order , cost center) and which cost element in the case of actual posting
   We enter the costing sheet in the valuation variant in customising

SAP PM-Cost Calculation

Dear All,
Can you tell me how the cost is getting calculated through the order?
Thanks & Regards
Vishal Gadge

Hi,
Cost gets calculated based on the Costing variants .. for planned and actual each of them have a separate costing variants ..
The costing variants are assigned to combination of order type & plant in spro
The costing variants further have Costing type and valuation variant. The valulation variants has details from where cost needs to be picked for cost calculation.Ex :-For material cost - cost to be picked from Moving average price ..check OKP6 /OKP8/OIOF
Type of cost Estimate, Planned, Actual
Estimate :- Can be entered manually
Planned :- Calulated automatically based on the operation hrs /components entered
Actual is also calculated automatically based on operations hrs confirmation in IW41, GI , GR for Non stock, S.E.S acceptance in ML81N ..
How does the flow of costs works in SAP PM?

Product Costing - Two Costing Variants - Mark and Release In Same Company Code Same Period

Hi All,
We are currently handling a CO-PC project where client has requirement to use two different costing variants in the same period in the same company code. SAP standard does not allow use of two costing variants in the same period for the same company. We can have only One Costing Variant per Co Code for Marking / Releasing Standard Price.
There are some materials in Plant 1 or Plant 2 for which cost estimates using costing variant ABC1 calculated and than prices are marked and released (CK24), now same materials are received in Plant3 where mixed costing is used and thus need to have cost estimates from second costing variant ABC3 (second costing variant) marked and released. Object is to have ABC3 cost estimates in material master standard price field, but SAP does not allow to mark and release for second costing variant in the same period for same co code as ABC1 variant already ran for plant1 or Plant2 under same company code,therefore, business is not able update ABC3 prices in Standard price of the material master.
Purpose of this second costing variant mark and release run is that for some materials business would like to implement costing at Plant3 level also, where they get same materials from different production sites (Plants). At Plant3 level, business is using mixed costing where the standard price is a weighted Average standard price, taking the different production sites standard cost into consideration in combination of the volume split between those production sites.
Did any one worked on this kind of requirement? Is there any SAP standard way to handle? Or this will need some ABAP enhancement?
Kindly advise.

Hi Atul
1. You dont need separate Valuation Variant in Plant 3
2. Use Costing Variant ABC1 and ensure that it has the needed Valuation Strategies in Valuation Variant
Allow Complete Transfer in the Transfer Control i.e. Cross Plant Transfer in it
3. Assign the Qty Str Type you have used in ABC3, to ABC1.. i.e. In the Costing Version, assign the Qty Str Type to the Costing Type and Valuation Variant from ABC1
After this, do CK11N and CK24 for Plant 1
Then do CK11N and CK24 for Plant 3, using ABC1.. You dont need to change anythiing before doing CK11N for Plant 3
To make it simple, you can use any one of ABC1 or ABC3 in both the plants.. You only need to ensure that Valuation Variant, TRansfer Control are set up as desired

How do I change the text on a label for a SAP delivered WD view

Hi,
I need to change the text that is being displayed for a label in a SAP delivered WD ABAP View. When I look at the properties for this label, the Text property is currently empty, so I assume that the text that is being displayed in the view is coming from the dictionary. I was hoping to change the text of the label via the Enhancement Framework. I created an OTR entry, then went into SE80 for the WD Component, I navigated to the view in question, I pressed the Enhance button and entered $OTR:<package>/<alias name> in the text property for the label. Finally I saved and activated and was prompted to create an Enhancement Implementation, which I did and I selected it. Everything seems to be fine (no errors or warnings). I then ran the WD application. My change was not there. I then went back into SE80 for the WD Component that I created the enhancement. I navigated to the View and looked in the text property of the label and saw that my change was not there. I repeated this process several times and each time when I added the OTR entry to the text property of the label, it saves and activates without issue (in enhancement mode), but when I run the WD App the change does not show up and when I go back to the WD View, my change to the text property is gone. I know that if I really wanted to I could register the object and add the OTR entry to the text attribute of the label, but I am trying to perform this change using a modification free enhancement. Can this be done via an Enhancement, or do I have to register the object and make my change using a modification?

Hi Gregg,
excellent question. I had the same problem as well before.
What I have learned is that you cannot change a UI Element via Enhancements.
You can add new UI Elements (e.g. new label) or remove existing elements, but you cannot change them (except the layout properties (e.g. colspan) maybe).
The only possibilities I see is
1. Remove the existing label, and add a new label with your desired text
2. Do it as a modification
3. Do it as a configuration (This means you go to the webdynpro application in SE80, right click and select "Create/Change Configuration)
4. Do it as customizing (This means you add the URL parameter sap-config-mode=X to the URL, navigate to the label, right click on it, and select "Change Settings for Current Configuration").
The disadvatages of 3) and 4) are
- texts in configurations and customizing are not translatable (as far as I know)
- if you have multiple configurations, you have to change the label multiple times
Hope this helps a bit,
Daniel

Costing variant and production version

We have two costing variants "C" (used to create current cost estimates) and "F" (Used to create Future cost estimate). All of the production versions in the system have a validity date of 9999. Is there a way to tell the system to use one production version when costing using Variant C and another version when costing is done using variant F.
Or if that is not possibel than how do we use one production version in 2011 while recosting current standards and another production version in 2012. (Remember the production version that we are using currently in 2011 has a validity date of 9999)
Regards

Hi
In your Costing Variant - You have a tab callled "Qty Structure Control".... Here you can specify BOM Determination and Routing Selection id.... i.e. If the BOM / Routing attached to the prod version can be assigned a specific BOM Determination Class and Routing Selection id, it can work
OR ELSE
While doing CK11N, you can manually specify the Prod Version in the "Qty Struct" Tab..... Create an LSMW for CK11N and you can do a mass costing like CK40N.... CK40N does not have this option of specifying Prod Version
I would prefer 2nd option

Contents of new costing variant, valuation variant and costing sheet not getting transported

In our development client,I have created a new costing variant, a new valuation variant and a new costing sheet in separate transports.
When I release the transports to move into the Test client, the contents of the configuration are not getting transported at all.
I tried to do them again manually using Table view - Transport , but again, if I view the transports in SE10,they don't show the table contents, etc.
Any help on this will be highly appreciated.

Ajay,
Let me make sure I understand.
Create a new TR using SE01
Go to transaction OKKN (costing variant)
Select the costing variant and then choose Table view - transport
Provide the transport number
At what point to I say 'include in request'
If I try to use the menu option Edit-Transport-Include in request in the beginning itself, the 'Include in request' is greyed out.
This is where I'm stuck
