Service cost

Hi,
I have a scenario to maintain the service charge or labor charge manually at time of creating the service order. In standard we are doing this by maintaining activity type and giving predefined value for that and system will be calculated based on the hour preformed.here in order to capturing the travelling cost and other miscellaneous expenses we need to maintain the value manually. Please suggest me a solution for this.
With Regards
Aswin Nair

Hi Aswin,
I tried your requirement, but I am able to give feedback as follows
Actaully in service order "IW31" as the price of service material is controlled both in "MM" and also through activity type in KP26, I tried putting manually seperate cost at header tab in service order, without the above conditions. still its not coming. you try once, but as we have to use RRB with costing it takes by default the cost price.
I suggest for manual entry of charges you can try throgh Sales order for the service item and for billing maintain copy controls between sa;;es doc. and billing doc. type.
If you come across a better solution please let me know.

Service Cost and Material Reservation

Dear Experts,
We have came up with a requirement that maintenance service costs and material requirements for the same to be captured through PM orders.
- A budget will be used to paid maintenance service costs
- Service costs are to be paid for external parties(framework PR will be raised through PM Order)
- Material requirements for the maintenance to be mentioned in the same order but it should NOT consume the budget.
- Only cost of service should consume the budget.
However when i tried, using control key PM03, budget get consumed when materials are requested.
How do i cater the requirement.
Thanks in Advance...

whn u reserve a material in maintenance order. Material will have cost element assigned to it (via. valuation class) this cost element will be mapped with a cost center. That cost center should be mentioned in your work order settlement rule. so then your material cost will be effecting cost center.
For service you are having WBS so that WBS you will maintain in same work order settlement rule. Your service cost will effect that WBS element.
Both are different process.
For this purpose only i had requested you to ask your FI team and confirm for cost element and cost center mapping.
Refer below eg so your problem will be clear.
Cost Element -1 (service) is mapped to WBS and Cost Center
Cost Element -2 (material) is mapped to WBS and Cost Center.
Or
Cost Element -1 (service) with WBS
Cost Element -2 (material) with Cost Center
If first case then you will have budge mix up problem
If second case then no budget mix up problem

External Service Costs in DP80 quotation

Dear All,
I had configured the DIP profile to pick the External Services cost into the Quotation.
The Material is getting determined but the costs are not trasnferred to the Quotation.
Will the EK01 condition type enough to capture the planned costs?
For Materials we have no issue as we are using VPRS and captures the cost from MM.
Any changes to be made to the DIP Profile / Pricing procedure.
Regards,
MLN Prasad

Check under Material Determination for Transfer Costs/Qty column. Mention as Transfer Costs & quantity.
Also EK02 should be given. EK01 is actual cost. As actual cost is zero, it might be the reason.
Assign EK02 to your sales quotation type in ODP4.
Also check the cost element assigned in DIP profile for External service & cost element given in Service master in the Service order.

Allocation of cost from service cost center to production cost center

Dear sir ,
Will I use to distribute the cost from service department to production department and that cost centers also using for activity planing will get currect result in product costing ?

Hello,
Can you clarify what you want to do ?
Allocation of cost from service cost centers to production cost centers can be done with the help of Assessment / Distribution cycles and you can do a activity planning using the same costs as well. The steps for activity planning would be as under:
1. Create primary cost planning in the service and production cost centers (KP06)
2. Create activity planning in the production cost centers (KP26) without any rate
3. Run assessment / distribution cycles to transfer cost from the service cost centers to production cost centers (KSUB / KSVB), in case you are not transferring based on activity quantity then also do SKF planning in KP46
4. Run plan cost splitting in case you have more then one activity type (do config for splitting structure beforehand) (KSS4)
5. Calculate Plan price for the production cost center activity types (KSPI)

Service Cost in MCI4 report

Hi PM/CO Gurus,
We are using ECC 5.0 and in MCI4 report (planner Group Analysis), Total Planned Cost, Total Actual Cost field contains data. But the report doesn't shows Service Cost, even though field is available. We are using Control Key PM03.
What need to be done for displaying the service cost in that field?
Your valuable updates are requested in this regard.
Thanks in advance,
Vinod

Hi Unmesh,
Thanks for your update. It is working. Can you please confirm one more thing in this regard? It is providing the updated cost from the day of assigning the Value categories to the Cost Key Figures. How I can update the historical cost? What is the process/procedure involved. Whether there is any standard SAP procedure for this.
Thanks & Regards,
Vinod

Service cost settlement on AUC

Hi Experts,
We have a scenario where we've an Order type PM06 for performing some Improvements projects/Changes into existing process. The settlement of this order type happens on the AUC and finally to fixed asset.
Now if user want to execute some changes through external vendor's service, how this service cost will be settled to AUC (since this order type is settling to AUC) and finally converted as 'Asset' ?
Seeking your valuable advise...Thx in advance

Forgot to mention the other thing.
Internal Labor cost can't be settled to AuC or Fixed Asset. Only Primary Cost Element costs can be settled to AuC or Fixed Asset.
So, you need to define Source Structure & Allocation Structure. While doing the TECO of PM Order, based on Actual Cost or other conditions (Business Decision on settlement), user has to select the appropriate Source Structure & Receiver in Settlement rule.
Refer below thread.
PM Order Settlement to Fixed Asset

1. Till Jun08 there is no service cost [which is normal]
2. From Jul08 there is Service Cost involved , which am not able to understand.
Could you please help me out?

Subcontracting scrap, component consumption and service cost booked to vendor

Hi,
Our client is issuing 100 pieces of component "A" to subcontracting vendor to manufacture finished product "B". In MIGO, we are receiving finished product B and consumption is booked for 100 pieces of component A . Invoice is paid to the subcontracting vendor for the service cost.
Later, we realized finished product did not met the quality standards and decided to scrap out the finished product B. This is scrapped and stocked out using std. SAP using 551 mov type. But the client want to charge scrap cost of finished product B, service cost (Job work cost) and the consumed components (A) of 100 pieces to subcontracting vendor. How to map this challenging scenario in Std. SAP.
Regards,
Sat

No need to create subcontracting PO.
Just create a standard PO, use material as FG (Material B as per your scenario)
Enter the vendor (whom you want to charge for it)
Let me explain the scenario:
1. You have created a subcontracting PO for vendor X, FG material B and component A.
Subcontracting service charge = Rs. 10.
Price for Material B = Rs. 50
Price for material A = 30.
2. You have done GR.
Now the FG material B is in your stock. (Here, you have done 551 movement type). Right ?
Now just do not do 551 movement type. Leave the stock as it is.
3. Then create a standard PO for material B and vendor X, give the price = (10+50+30) 90 and tick the return option in PO line item.
4. Then do goods receipt. Movement type 161 will be automatic posted in system and stock will be consumed from your storage location.
Then accounting entry will be
Stock account Credit
GR/IR account Debit.
5. Then you can do credit memo to vendor from MIRO with the reference of this PO. Then the accounting entry will be
GR/IR account Credit
Vendor Account Debit.

How to Allocate service cost against Sales order in Billing

Hello Team,
Need guidance to map below scenario:
Customer has placed a PO for machine. Aganst this PO, Sales Order created and machine is delivered to customer.
After this he was not satisfied with colour and requested to change the colour of machine. He agreed to extra cost for this.
We created a Service PO against this sales order and repainting has been done by service vendor.
Before final billing I need to add this cost of repainting in final billing document.
Can you please guide, how this cost can be taken in final billing document.
Is I have to maintain one more line item in Sales order for repainting?
Waiting for reply.
Mahesh

I copied the standard order header workflow and the "Book Order, Manual" workflow to custom workflows. I then modified the "Book Order, Manual" workflow to put another completely custom workflow (call this "Approvals") in between the "Book Eligible" and "Book" steps.
The "Approvals" step assessed the sales order, changed the order header to the pending approval flow_status_code, and sent out the appropriate notifications. The "Approvals" step returned a Complete/Incomplete where complete would proceed to "Book" and incomplete would go back to "Book Eligible." The new workflow was then assigned to the order type needed. I don't still have access to that environment (job change) or I would give more definite instructions.

Service cost to be included into Material value.

Dear Expert,
1. Purchase order has been created for "XXX" material - Value of 1000 - Quantity 10, GRN & Invoice has been booked.
Now my material valuation price is 1000 * 10 = 10000
2. Service PO has been raised to make alteration in same "XXX" material, the cost incurred has to be booked for that particular Material "XXX" only.
Two vendors are different.
Kindly advise
Regards,
Mohan

Hi,
As your initial material is XXX with amount 1000 now your doing the alteration on this if you want to keep the same material code, follow the subcontract process as said by shiva, create subcontract PO for XXX add the same materail in BOM componenet , do the complete cycle add the alteration charges in the PO then when you will make the GR agaianst subcontract PO the new valuation will be
1000 + alteration chrages for each.

Service cost automatically in maintenace order?

Dear SAPIENTS,
If I am entering service number directly into the system using external service control key i am not getting cost automatically. but if i go for search option from push button service selection the same scereen and selecting the service then cost comes automatically.
kindly sugggest how to resolve the problem.
Regards,
Kaushal Rai

Dear Pete,
I remeber the service numbers so I am entering directly that number. In this case cost does not comes automatically.
These services come under agreement. So when i go for Service selection (Push Button) on the service entering tab against agreement i see number of services and if i select from here I get cost automatically in the cost field.
