Saving cost estimate with errors

Hi Gurus!
When I create a cost estimate with errors, I'm still able to save it (ck11n)
but later I can't release it (ck40 or ck24) wich is OK.
Is there any way to block the saving of cost estimates with errors in tc CK11n?
Cheers
matej

HI,
Go to t code OKKN> select related costing variant> MISC tab>U can find error management>select 'Log message but do not save them, mail inactive".
The above will match with ur expectation

CK40N - Cost estimates with errors - Error message roll-up

Good morning,
i need to roll-up error messages from components to top-level codes.
Now if a component is costed with errors (status KF) it happens that its top-level code is costed without errors (status KA).
We lose time using CS15 to check components usage in order to re-calculate all top-level codes after the error correction.
In OKKN in tab Qty Struct. there is a checkbox to be flagged in order to roll-up error messages from components to top-level codes. It's called "Transfer Active Std Cost Est. if Mat. Costed w/Errors".
I selected the flag but the system works as before: no roll-up of error messages.
Does anybody have suggestions?
Thanks,
Regards
Enrico

Hi,
There seems to be some problem with your system , as standard SAP behaviour is that , if a component is costed with error , higher level material also get KF status . i have experience this feature on my project .
If you check F1 documentation of field , "Trasfer act std cost if mat costed with error" ., the same have been mentioned.
If you activate , this check box , then system will automcatically transfer existing std cost , if they it receive KF status in costing run.
therefore , you should remove this check box from costing variant , and still higher material does not get KF status , search for any oss notes or raise a message .

Error - Material cost estimate with quantity structure

Hello Gurus!
Can anyone please help with the following problem:
Im trying to do the material cost estimate with quantity structure, but the system is throwing back the message " There is no exchange rate for exchange rate type P on 1.01.2008: CHF -> EUR".
This happens because I have a subcontratation in my routing in CHF, and in transaction OB08, and I dont had defined that rate (type P CHF EUR).
I need to know if there is any solution to the system assumes other Type of Exchange Rate (the last real exchange rate that I have introduced in my system, not the planned!)
Points will be assigned to the suitable answer.
Thanks in advance.
Mary Jane

Hi Sridhar
Thanks for your reply.
In OKEQ for the version 0, I have the rate type M.
I don't understand why the system throwing back the message " There is no exchange rate for exchange rate type P on 1.01.2008: CHF -> EUR".!
Do you know why?
Thanks and regards

Material cost estimate with quantity structure (tcode: CK11N)

Hey dear friends.
I donu2019t know in which forum I should put my question above.
In fact, Iu2019m new to SAP PM module.
Iu2019m trying to create material cost estimate with quantity structure (tcode: CK11N) for a material u201CXu201D.
This material is manufactured.
While running the transaction CK11N, I got an error message.
After analyzing this error message, Iu2019ve realised that somebody had assigned wrong activity types to cost centers which are linked to this material in tcode: CR03, tab: costing.
So Iu2019ve changed and assigned the right activity types.
Then, Iu2019ve tried to run the tcode CK11N again. But the system still brings the wrong activity types and seems to ignore the ones that Iu2019ve assignedu2026
It seems like the old activity types still linked to the cost centers somewhere else than in tcode CR03u2026
Any idea about what am I mising ?
Thank's in advance.
Bahia.

Dear Bahia,
If its rate routing means,i guess you must be working in REM scenario.
So goto CA22,delete the existing operation and then assign the same work center in a new
operation,check what activity types is it proposing in the rate routing,if its reflecting correctly means
save the datas.
Also goto KKF6N--->click the change mode icon and then calculator button to create a preliminary cost
estimate and then save the datas.
One of our forum friend has asked you to check the production order read PP master data once
again,but understand there is no production order concept in REM scenario,only planned orders.
Then come back with your queries.
Regards

Material cost estimate with Quantiy structure

Hello All,
Can anyone please help in the following problem. When we do material cost estimate with quantiy structure, system is throwing message as "source of supply cannot be determined".
Maximum points will be assigned to the suitable answer.
Thanks in advance.
Srinivas

Hi, Srini,
Please check in material master data whether this material is in-house produced or externally procured, which can be found in MRP view.
Please also check your costing variant and valuation variant for material cost estination, I think possibly you chose stratey L FROM Purchasing Info Record. If not, ignor it.
If it's externally procured, SAP logic is that firstly it will check the source list, then determine the quota arrangement and find proper vendor for the selected material. The error message is possibly caused by missing vendor or wrong quota reason. So please follow the SAP logic to check data one by one.
Please check the following link on vendor determination in online help document.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/7e/cb938143a311d189ee0000e81ddfac/frameset.htm
Please specify if you also used mixed costing for material.
Good luck!

Re: create material cost estimate with ck11n without

hi gurus,
i need to do create material cost estimate with ck11n without cost result but before i need to check the BOM with material component 11111, and also instruct me how to correct maintain BOM list to get the standard cost
if anybody do the same scenoria giveme your golden inputs
thanks in advance,
kumar.b

Hi,
As note 351835 explains, calculation needs an inforecord to calculate prices from purchasing. Prices from outline agreements are generally not taken into account. According to note 499699, the system may consider entries in the source but it will ignore entered agreements (before this correction, any source list entries with agreement were ignored).
Prices from agreements could only be considered either via a modification or by using the user exit for material valuation (COPCP005).
This unfortuntely is a restriction resulting as a side-effect from note 499699. As soon as an agreement is entered in the source list, the fixed indicator will not be considered anymore.
You therefore have two options to overcome this.
1) You create a second source list entry without an agreement; then the fix indicator will be reflected; report Z_CREATE_EORD from note 409960 could be used to do this automatically
2) You are using user-exit EXIT_SAPLMEQR_001 in order to 'overrule' the standard search for source of supply (enhancement LMEQR001)

Material Cost Estimate with Quantity Structure (How to download)

Is there a standard report or feature available in SAP to download the material cost estimate with quantity structure?
Currently we have to print screen and it is very tedious and can't do analysis with those screenshots.
Please advice.

Hi,
There is a standard report you can use - S_P99_41000111 - Analyze/Compare Material Cost Estimates .
With this report, you can report the standard cost estimates for a range of materials.

Material cost estimate and mateiral cost estimate with quantity structure

Hi sap guys,
What is the difference between material cost estimate and material cost estimate with quantity structure

Hi
Both are in one way the same.
Material cost estimate can be calculated as
1. Material with quantity structure
2. Material without quantity structure
You can get more insight into it at the following link

How to Run a Cost Estimate with Budgeted Values parallel to the Std Cost Estiamte

Hi Experts,
My client want to run a parallel cost estimate with Budgeted values for each type of cost in a similar process like standard cost estimate(currently only Std business run only the std. cost estimate). Below will be provided to run the said cost estimate.
     1. Budgeted Cost for cost elements against each cost center
     2. Re-posting/distribution will be required run to allocate and apportion the cost from service cost centers to Production cost centers
     3. All Planned(future) Material Cost will be provided. (note that the valuation strategy of costing variant of standard cost estimate has below sequence
     4. Budgeted activity quantities will be provided. (Cost and activity qty for Kp06 and Kp26)
Based on the above data business need to run a cost estimate with budgeted values parallel to the standard cost estimate(based on planned values), which will be compared with actual then Budget at each months.
Simply an alternative cost estimate with budgeted values for a given period for all materials.
Kindly advice the possibility of such a cost estimate in the system and if possible pls. mentioned the Process in order and configuration steps for the same.
Thanks in advance.
Aziz

Hi..
You can define costing variants which have valuation variant for budgeted values parallel to the standard cost estimate in Customizing for Product Cost Controlling.
You can define target cost versions using above costing variants under the customizing transaction OKV6 as below picture.
When you calculate variances, you can check “all target cost version” flag to calculate variances for all target cost versions in the controlling area as below picture.
You can analysis the difference between actual cost and several budget cost using target cost version as below picture.

CK11N (Cost estimate with qty structure) Set Up time calcualtion

Greetings..
I have an following activity data for operation 10 with base qty 40.33 kg
Op.10 Set Up Time 10 min
Op. 10 Machine Time 20 min.
Now for this material when i create Cost Estimate with qty structure (CK11N) for this material, i m getting the result of costing itemization for costing based on COSTING LOT SIZE as 1 kg
Set Up time coming 10 min along with its cost.
Op. Time coming 0.496 min along with its cost.
But when i change costing based on USER ENTRY with entry equal to base qty of routing as 40.33 kg
Set Up time coming 403.33 min along with its cost.
Op. Time comming 20 min along with its cost.
Why set up time is multiplied by USER ENTRY qty.
It should give the set up time as 10 Min for USER ENTRY 40.33 kg.
Formula for Setup requirement is SET UP TIME (SAP005 = SAP_01)

HI,
Request you to check the Setup fromula in the work center Costing Tab screen. Also chech whether you are using any formula in the routing details in the User defined fields (which will be picked from the WORK center data.
Hope this will help you.

Sales order cost estimate with GIT account

Hi,
Business introduced Goods - in - Transit (Balance sheet account), so PGI will always post to GIT and Invoice it will get reversed.
For one of the Configuratble material (MTO) scenario we need the Sales order cost estimate to get the Planned cost.
When i try to execute the sales order cost estimate it says cost element doesnot exist for GIT GL (WHich is right).
But with maintaining the GIT how to achieve the sales order cost estimate.
I tried to create CE category 90 for GIT, in Cost estimate am getting error CE 90 not supported for Cost estimate.
Kindly help this is kind of urgent req for us
Thanks,
Sudha

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.

Material Cost Estimate with different lot size.

What happens if the material cost estimate is run twice using different lot sizes each time (all other parameters unchanged) for the same period?
Will the cost estimate run later overwrites the results from cost estimate run earlier (though the lot size is different)? What is the role of lot size in a material cost estimate?

The costing lot size impacts your cost estimate if you have lot size independent costs (i.e. setup cost). Those fixed costs are spread over the costing lot sizee to give you a cost per unit.. Larger costing lot sizes can also help you minimize rounding issues.
You can only have one marked cost estimate in a given period. However, you can create and save a cost estimate as many times as you want as long as you have not marked it for release. When you save the estimate it will overwrite an existing estimate. You also have the option of creating multiple estimates under different versions or with different costing variants.

Digits Of Significance/Rounding Issue-Cost Estimate With Quantity Structure

I have an Excel based BOM which includes Material (Yield) Qty, plus a scrap factor. This adjusted yield is then multiplied by the Unit Price to get the Extended Amount. An example from my file is:
Material 10-0766 = yield of 1.824 sq ft less 4% scrap 0.07 sq ft = adjusted yield 1.897 sq ft * 1.836 USD/sq ft = Ext. Amt of 3.483 USD.
In SAP, I created a BOM via CS01 with this material as a line item, 1.824 as the qty, UOM is FT2 (sq ft) and I added a Assembly Scrap of 4% with the Net ID indicator checked. When I create a cost estimate via CK11N (in our SAP AFS 6.0 sandbox), the itemization for this material reads: qty of 1.897, total cost of 3.48 USD.
The math all works, but the resultant USD amount in SAP is short by .003 USD. I realize that USD currency is configured to only 2 decimal places, and that is fine. But, I thought that the calculations that costing was doing was retaining all the digits of significance past the 2 decimal places being shown, rather than rounding off to 2 decimal places. There are 24 materials in this BOM, and the total delta between my Excel sheet total (17.647 USD) and my SAP estimate (17.63 USD) is 0.017 USD. If I look at each item, the cumulative difference is due to each line rounding off to 2 decimal places.
The units of measure (via tcode CUNI) are all configured to show display 3 decimal places (field DECAN) and round to 5 decimal places (field ANDEC).
Does anyone have any information/suggestions around the precision in my SAP cost estimate? Am I stuck with these differences, or is there something I can do differently to prevent them? I know I can increase digits of significance in Activity Price Calculation, but I can't find anything similar in Product Cost Planning. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
To achieve you have to run the costing run twice once normally.
Secondly you create an alternate BOM 2 by having the same alternate BOM 1 and remove the 2 materials which you dont want.
Execute the costing run, provide the details required in the Costing data screen, press enter, go to the Qty structure screen give the details of the Alternate BOM 2 in the BOM details and execute the costing run.
Save the cost estimate, which would be have been costed without the values of two materials as you wanted by using the alternate BOM 2.
Then use CK24, select the option "other prices" to release the cost estimate for the commercial price only by selecting the indicator of commercial price 3 only.

Can I find out, with user has deleted all cost estimates with CKR1?

Hi Community,
ich have a major problem: all our standard material don't have a cost estimate any more, because a unknown user has deleted all current cost estimates. Can I find out, with user has used the CKR1 transaction? And much more importend: how can I solve the problem? Do I need to re-calculate all the material?
Thanks for any idea and help
PoD

Hi,
you have to make the costing run, marking, releasing again but thats not the whole work.
If there are PP-orders that have been created based on the old/deleted plan cost estimates, the variance calculation will not work as the plan cost estimate is missing (even if the new one is released in the same period).
Thus variance calculation is not possible for those orders... You have to settle the whole balance to receiver object by removing the variance key in PP-order. Try first for one particualr order to see if there are some other problems that need to be solved during month-end-closing.
How to find out who has executed CKR1 (SAPCKR1): Check authorizations for (hopefully) a small number of user who are allowed to use CKR1.
Use T-Code ST03N, in the left upper window double-click "total" (maybe click a day if you can imagine which (possible) date it was). In lower left section open "user and settlement statistics" and then click "user profile". Now go to each possible user and look for T-Code CKR1.
This can be time-consuming but its worth a try...
For the future: restrict CKR1 to a very small number of user (and they should be well trained...). I once had a company (with poor authorization concept) but CKR1 was blocked in SM01 and a ZCKR1 was created and in this Z-transaction USER-name was checked (if SY-USNAM...) so only the use names named in this Z-program were allowed to use ZCKR1. Not the best way but sufficient for them...
Good luck, Christian
