Simulation Costing / Unit costing / Product cost estimation

Hi;
Can somebody tell me more about unit costing i.e. estimation ??
Process is as follows;
Creation of quotation -
Create BOM according to customer specifications--attach it to material for which quotation created--take costing rungo to unit costing---- all data will be copied to unit cost estimate------change manually in estimation sheet as per estimator requirement- save it. -
cost will update pricing of quotation.
But now my problem is BOM explosion at unit costing sheet is first level only but I need all materials of every level of BOM.
How to get all materials in unit costing sheet Pl. let me know?????????
Thanks in advance!!!

Jason - have another look -
The cost estimate nuber that links MBEW to KEKO and then KEPH does not change - I just checke the 10 year histoy of one number, there are bom and routing changes, different versions and recently, different valuation variants. all of them use the cost estimate number that is located in MBEW
The distinctive uniqueness of a cost estimate is the combination of: Reference Obj.; ProdCostEst.No.; Costing Type; Costing Date; Costing Version; Valuation Variant; Additive Costs
CKIS uses the same key with the addition of Ledter and item number,

PS - Jason- thank you for your comment -- and forcing me to review this data - - I believe that I have just solved a high priority reporting issue - I hadn't noticed (or bothered to look at) the TRANSFER Co Estimate no - Thank you very much for pushing the think past the usual "here's the answer."

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)

Issue Relating to Power Cost in Daily Product Costing

Hi,
We are doing daily product costing. Here we want to allocate the power units of service to production cost centers proportionately on daily basis. Can anyone tell me is there any option in SAP and we need to go for development.

hi,
Power usage or cost can be apportioned only monthly wise not possible on daily basis. U can run the distribution or assessment cycle only for month wise, but not on daily basis.

Sub Contract (operations) Cost Capturing in Product cost

Hi Guys,
I have a problem in cost capturing for sub contract opertaions.
Scenario is : I am working on product Costing. I want to caputure the cost of various product for various opeations, this I achived through activty type. But my problem is some of operations (for making the product) has been given to outsourcing through open PO and the payment to contractor is paying by unit rate(price rates are different for different operations).
Could anybody explain me the process or settings required to capture the cost of the product which my client is paying to outsource contractor.
Regards
Srinivas

Hi,
1. Please define that particular activity as external operation in routing
2. Flag it as subcontracting
3. Assign a Material Info record to this operation. Because the cost is picked up from Material info record in this scenario.
Just talk to your PP folks. They will definitely will guide you in Routing settings in this regard
Please award points suitably
Best Regards

Costing Report summarized production cost by Finished Goods Material

Dear Expert,
I am looking for a report that can summarized the production cost in production order by Finished Goods Material Number.
or a report that can show me the cost components incurred related to a Finished Goods Material.
Can any expert enlighten me? please help.
Thanks a lot.

Hi
I would recommend the product drilldown reports in KKO0...
For this you will have to do settings in OKN0 (Asisgn a Cost Comp Structure and specify the Product Group)
After this, execute KKRV to collect the summarized data and then you can use KKO0 reports
It gives cost of production as per the Cost Comp Str and also the product no, product group, Prod Order etc

Target Cost Verion in Product Cost

Hi,
I'm not able to create Target Cost Version (1,2,3.....) in variance Calculation pertaining to Product Costing.
I'm getting this message:
Version 1000 1 not intended to be used as the target cost version
Message no. KQ243
Diagnosis
The specified target cost version has not been flagged in central version maintenance as suitable for variance calculation.
Procedure
1. Check the entries in the central version table.
2. If appropriate, flag the version as suitable for variance calculation.
Please help & guide urgently.

Try running a variance analysis, and see if it civd you an error message. typically this occurs when a SCE estimate was created after the process/production order was created. So check the dates of the two orders that you have, and compare with the date of the SCE CREATION.

Raw Material Costing with Overhead, Product Cost Planning

Hi,
I have an issue applying overhead to purchased raw materials. We need to apply this overhead for only a certain materials. So, I have defined a overhead key/overhead Group, and assigned the group in the material master of the raw material. The overhead is 2% freight on raw material costs.
In the std.costing variant, I have assigned the costing sheet under Overhead on material components tab of the corresponding valuation variant. I have also included the Freight OH in the cost component structure.
However, when I run the costing with CK11N for the raw material, it is showing only the raw material cost, not the overhead.
What could be the problem?
I appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Ram

Is the overhead rate a percentage type or quantity based?
Have you maintained both actual and plan rates (1 & 2) under define % based OH rates or Qty based OH rates accordingly?
Does the validity date (in define OH rates )cover the date of costing?
Is the Costing sheet assigned to the valuation variant at plant level?
Is the OH base in the costing sheet includes the cost element of the raw material?

ADDDITIVE COST FOR PRODUCT COST BY SALES ORDER SCENARIO.

Dear friends,
We are using costing for sales order & we have maintained the costing variant under the path IMG> Controlling> Product Cost Controlling> cost object controlling> Product cost by sales order >premliminary costing & order based costing>product costing for sales order costing>Costing variant for Product costing >Check costing variant for product costing.
Under this we have maintained the Costing variant, Now we need to have Additive cost. But didnt found the tab in the costing variant where as when we check in T.code OKKN which is a part of Product cost planning we can find the Additive cost tab.
How to run addtive costing run for Product cost by sales order scenario & please guide me with one example.
Or else is there any configuration where we can assign standard costing variant PPC1 instead of Costing variant SOC1 ( which is a costing variant of Product cost by sales order.
Please guide me
regards,
Sandeep

Hi Sandeep,
You may please try using Unit Costing for Sale Order.
It is over an above the sale order costing you have done. So in case you want to post any additional known cost, you may do the unit costing for the sale order after the sale order costing.
Trust this helps

Production Variance is posted as 542.01….
I strongly believe there is some issue in configuration for activity allocation….
Main issue is
Point No. 4 – Different Figures in Process Order Cost Analysis
Point No. 7 – Assessment cycle run
Point No. 8 – KSS2 and KSII for Actual cost Allocation and Production variance…
Friends… I have tried to explain maximum please help me to understand the concept or missing configuration/Process.
Thanks

Dear Rajneesh,
I have made the changes as suggested....
It seems now my Order Cost analysis and Product cost analysis are showing the same figures.
I have also maintained cost center splitting structure for ELE30 Activity allocation.
Structure Z1
Splitting structure for AT
Assignment 10
Electricity Cost

Cost Element

Activity Type

Version 0
In my case actual activity confirmed is 3.1 for 2 orders in period 5
Order 1 - QTY 2
Order 2 - QTY 1.1
Total actual Electricity exp is 1150 in period 5
followed procedure to post actual activity on product is mentioned below
KSS2 Actual cost splitting - Result as expected 1150 for ELE30
KSII Actual price determination - Result as expected 3.1 actual confirmed QTY for ELE30 with actual price
       QTY 3.1         Tot Price 3,709.68        Planned(FIX) 3,709.68     Per Units 10
       (System is doing 1150/3.1*10=3709.68)
    3.CON2 Actual revaluation of orders
      Here while reevaluating the Process Orders system calculation is different
Order 1 - QTY 2 -   558.00
Order 2 - QTY 1.1 - 407.56
Total -                    965.57
     4. After CON2 system is changing the value of other activities like
     LAB10 - Actual confirmed Value 10 to 0
     DIE20 - Actual confirmed Value 10 to 0
Which should not be the case....

Old material overwritten by new material code in Product cost collector

Hi SAP Gurus,
How can I work around if a product cost collector with material XXX has been overwritten by a new material YYY when creating the KKF6N.
Both material code having the same plant, same orde type,same production version but just different material code.
When saving the preliminary costing for the product cost collector for material YYY, the system prompted me the order number 700022 which is already existing and created for material XXX.
By right, this shd not be happened but indeed it did.
Now when displaying the report S_ALR_87013127 - Order Selection, the report showed the new material YYY was created with order number 700022 but the content of the data was for old material XXX.
Now my problem is how can I get back the product cost collector for material XXX as the original order number 700022 was meant for material XXX and not mat YYY.
And also when executing backflush (MFBF) for old material XXX, the error msg prompted as 'content of order 700022: Mat YYY transferred to interface (IMSEG):Mat XXX due to this I can't backflush material XXX.
Really appreciate your expertise on this urgently.
many thanks!

problem due to system bug, have to log to OSS for help.

Logistics cost to be added in product cost

Dear friends,
We are operating logistocs vehicles on every day morning to collect materials from another plant and also get materials from suppliers..
If the freight rate to be provided to logistcs is a constant value, we can give the rate in PO conditions inorder to add the freight cost in product cost.
Rate to be provided to logistics vehicle will be varied based on the weight and space occupation of a material and the type of vehicle used (like LCV, HCV...)
1. Incase of STO (Material from another plant) how to include the frieght rate in receiving plant product cost. Because the ratre is not a constant one it will be varied based on the above situations.
2. Incase of regular purchase order how to handle the same situation of adding freight cost in to product cost.
Thanx in advance.
Warm regards,
M.Selvaganesh,

Hi,
Check in the Below path
SPRO >> MM >> Logistics Invoice Verification >> Incoming Invoice >> Configure How Unplanned Delivery Costs Are Posted
Here check is there any GL code is maintained against your company code.
If its maintained then remove & post the invoice, then it will hit to your inventory acc

Description on product cost by order.

Can anyone give me a example of differenct product cost ?
1) product cost by order and product cost by sales order ?
Also what is the difference between those two production order.

Hi,
In the SAP standard (as per the transaction codes indicated by you) it is not possible to include multiple plants. Either you have to execute for one Plant or for all plants. Probably, in Test run you can execute for all Plants and check the results, and then decide.
Thanks
Murali.
