Specific Identification of Costs

Hi,
I sincerely request the participants of this forum to propose a solution for the following:
IFRS prescribes Specific Identification of Costs where the Inventory Items are not interchangeable;
Given the above, consider the following "Used Cars" Scenario
The following used cars with the Following Chassis Numbers (example) are purchased at the values indicated:
Chassis Number    Value
1020                           45000
2040                           40000
3060                           35000
At this point the third car is sold; But SAP calculates the Cost of Sales at the Moving Average price of 40000; But Actually, the Cost (under Specific identification method prescribed by IFRS) should be 35000;
Please advice what can be done in SAP MM/PM so that Cost of Sales is 35000;
The other solutions considered were:
1. Create each car as a separate Item Code (But this involves lot of work from the MM Team);
2. Create an ABAP report which will give vehicle wise Moving Average Price and Specific Costs based on which FI entry to be passed;
But both are work-arounds; Is there any straight solutions in SAP;
Your help would be highly appreciated and points rewarded;
Regards
Siddique

Am treating this post as closed. We developed our own Z report based on which FI Entries will be passed- Siddique

Specific Identification Cost for batch managed items (Follow-Up from P2P)

Specific Identification Cost method is used for serial and batch managed item. Using this method, the outbound cost of such items would be the original cost of specific goods, which can be determined according to the serial or batch number of that item.
Business One allows the user to receive batch managed items with a batch number that already exists in the DB. Its possible that the received quantity is added to on-hand quantity in the warehouse. In such case, the quantity on-hand of that batch and the received quantity may have different costs.
What should be the system behavior in such case:
1. Block receipts to the same batch with different costs.
2. Write the difference to a price difference account, as done in Standard Cost method.
3. Manage the batch cost with Moving Average method.
This thread is continuation from 'Specific Identification Cost for batch managed Items' <a href="http://p2p.sap.com/businessoneforum?type=join&login=1&uid=41FB661A76CED536C825C4E2B6FF4397&cid=91&go=z37225">discussion</a> in P2P SAP Business One Forum (Product Development Collaboration).
Previous discussion on P2P is summarized in the attached file.

Hi Peter,
This is a very important functionality that you are describing here. For example, in the Steel industry, it could be extremely useful to cost by batch or serial number.
If you receive a batch that already exists in the system and if the costing method for the product is moving average, then teh cost of the batch should be calculated based on the moving average as well.
If the costing method is standard, then the cost should go in a variance account.
If the costing method is FIFO, then it is a getting trickier...

DRQ: Specific Identification Method for Inventory Valuation

This is a request to incorporate the features of Specific Identification Method (or Actual Cost) of Inventory Valuation for Serial Number / Batch Number controlled items.
Found lots of threads in the Forum regarding this topic, but could not able find out any answer from SAP.
Sometimes back, myself posted the same thread, but got reply that Navision has this features please use that.
Hope SAP Team has enough knowledge about this method of valuation, that is why I am not giving any example.
If require I can provide enough example on this topic.
Thanks & Regards
Anjan Bhowmick

Hi Peter,
This is the same requirement we need in mexico. What do you mean with "Next major releases"?
In other words, this requirement is not going to be consider for next version 8.8?
Waiting for your response.

BS- Adapter Specific Identifies - Logical System: value is missing

Hi,
I've created a simple scenario in which idoc is being received in ECC (by idoc receiver). my communication channel (i.e., soapSender) is part of my INTEGRATION_SERVER business system. i checked, for the relevant business system the Adapter Specific Identifies -> Logical System values and it was missing. therefore, i had to update the correlated technical system definition (at SLD) and updated required value (i.e., logical system). somehow the value is still missing when i re-check the business system (at Integration Builder).
i took the following actions:
1. delete and re-import BS from SLD.
2. re-start xI
and nothing was changed.
What can be done?
Regards,
Uri

Hi Uri,
>Indeed, the LS was not exits
I do not 100% understand your statement. Plz check AGAIN (in SLD) if the logical system name is still there.
My suspect was that a ABAP job (you can look to it in RZ70) is overwriting the technical system.

Can you buy any type of external HDD and it'll work with any mac or do you have to buy specific ones that cost like €999?

can you buy any type of external HDD and it'll work with any mac or do you have to buy specific ones that cost like €999?

You can buy any disk with FireWire, Thunderbolt or USB. If you've got a 2010 or early MacBook Pro, buy a FireWire disk, or if you've a newer computer, a Thunderbolt disk. They'll be faster than the USB, but you can buy an USB hard disk

Cost of sales accounting compares the sales revenue for an accounting period with the manufacturing costs of the activity. The expenses are allocated to the commercial functional areas (manufacturing, sales and distribution, administration, and so on). Expenses and revenues that cannot be assigned to the functional areas are reported in further profit and loss items, sorted according to expense and revenue type.
With this type of grouping, cost of sales accounting identifies where costs originate in a company. It therefore portrays the commercial purpose of the expense.
<b>For example, you can use a same GL account for salaries, but based on the cost center it is posted, the amount can go above the gross margin or below. Each cost center is associated with a functional area. like Production and Admin.</b>

Any UserExit while Posting Shipment cost?

Dear All,
SD transportation/shipment cost integration with MM-Account Payable.
Process:
1. VA01 - create sales order
2. VL01n - create Delivery
3. VL02n - PGI
4. VT01n - create Shipment
5. VI01 - create shipment cost doc.
Here PO will get generated automatically. For that PO, a service entry sheet is created for every L.R no given by Transport vendor. Then MIRO is posted for the service entry sheet.Payment is done against that.
But my client's requirement is that normally transporter will have contract with the company. Transporters supply to various Customer place and raises the bill for every L.R no.
In case of Transporteru2019s freight bills settlement, vendor invoice posting should be L.R no wise which is captured in Shipment
L.R no wise tracking is required for Transporteru2019s payment.
I understand that there is no SAP STD integration of LR number of shipment doc with vendor Incoming Invoice posting. But Vendor invoice can be posted for multiple POs.
When shipment document is created, the system will generate PO automatically in the background. L.R number is to be captured and should be passed on to PO doc through USER EXIT.
Hence I request you to kindly reply USER EXIT available for Shipment doc. so that the customization (development) can be done in transporteru2019s (vendor) payment L.R No. wise.
Please reply your view in this regard.

Anbu

Cost Center Error while releasing Billing document to Accounting

Hi SAP Gurus,
Our user raised an issue that when he had released billing document to accounting, the system threw error message
"Cost center xxxx (CO area)/xxxx(Cost center) does not exist on date 11/16/2011". Message No. KI 222.
But the cost center xxxx does not exist in the system at all. The user does not want to create the cost center eirther. Cost center was not entered in Sales order, Delivery and Billing. I have checked 'Default account assignement' (OKB9) settings, Default account assignment in cost element master record and assignment of cost center to sales organization (OVF3). But cost center xxxx was not configured in the above settings. I have checked validations/substitutions, user exits and BAPIs, there is nothing specific to the cost center. This is not a cross-company code scenario. I have made field status to optional for cost center. But still the problem persists. Accounting document did not get generated because of the above mentioned error message. User applied SAP notes 315350. But it did not resolve the issue.
Would anyone let me know 'why the system showed the cost center xxxx that does not exist, while releasing the billing document to accounting'?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
K.S.K

Hi Friend,
I think this link help for you
Cost center XXXX does not exist on 15.09.2010.

User exit/BADI for condition type in shipment costing

Hi! Does anyone know of any user exit or BADI or function module we can use to populate a value to a custom condition type we have created for shipment costing? We want to calculate the customs duty charges based on the purchase price of the item in the PO. As such, we need to go extract this information on the PO and populate it on the condition type.
Appreciate any help on this.
Cheers!

Cost center not appearing while settling to GL Account using AIAB

Hi
There is one AuC 100000019. There are two values: Rs.10000 and Rs.145500
Now i want to settle it to GL account using AIAB.
In AIAB under Category field, i gave GL (i.e. GL account as Category). Then i mentioned GL Account as settlement receiver. Then i double clicked on the settlement rule line and specified cost center (same as assets)
While settling using TCOde AIBU, it gave error, and asked for CO object. I do not know why its not picking cost center even though i specifically gave the cost center.
Please let me know what can be done
Thnx
Deepak

Hi Deepak,
What was the resolution here? I know the implementing Note 744194 does not fix this issue. I am thinking 2 possible scenarios:
1. If the cost center for AuC settlement to GL is going to be the same each time, then a GL account can be specifically setup for the purpose of this settlement and the Cost Center can be defaulted via OKB9.
2. If the Cost Center differs, then as you mentioned: It cannot be defaulted.
I am encountering the same issue, please share anything that you can.
Thank you,
Yhuss

Invoice with cost center

while creating invoice via va01, if the material is mapped with GL accs that require cost center, we will choose the cost center in Order reason field, after that we create billing and then we can see the accounting document. In case if we not choose the cost center we can still create invoice and billing but the accounting doc is not generated, then we have to create credit note to clear the incorrect invoice and recreate new one..
to over come the above issue is there any way the system throw the message stating that this specific material requires cost center and dosen't allow to save ? ( or) if the above message cant be added is there any chance whether the system allow us to amend the cost center in billing and can recreate the accounting doc automatically ?

You can control this by maintaining Incompletion log for Sales Item (Tcode OVA2) and correspondingly assign the same to your I Cat.
And FYI, you can't make any change in cost center details at billing level.
Thanks & Regards

I am scared of enabling the Sync because my smartphone is on Wifi and I think this Sync will cost me money is it true or ?

my smaprtphone is Xperia x10

If your phone is on wifi there should be no additional costs. Though your internet service provider would be more knowledgeable about your specific internet connection costs.
Depending on your usage the First sync can be about 10mb of data. Keeping the two devices in sync uses a very minimal amount of data maybe 0.01-0.001mb per sync event.
In addition the Firefox Sync service does not have any charges or fees.

VI01 - Shipment Costs (combining Deliveries from Shipment document)

Hello experts
Do you know how to combine (consolidate) the shipment costing line item (VI01) when there are more than one Delivery to the same customer in the Shipment document?
E.g. I have a Shipment with 58 Deliveries and for a specific customer has 2 Deliveries, the Shipment Costing (VI01) must to create just one line item consolidating the 2 Deliveries for that customer, not to split 2 lines (one line for each Delivery).
Any help will be highly appreciated.

PR05 Cost Assignment cost center default

Hello,
I want to have the employee's cost center defaulted on the PR05 screen.
I want to default it at the Entire Trip's Cost Assignment.
I am aware of the user exits available, however, i need to know if there is a way to default it without using the user exits.
Thanks,
Jerry

Hi jerry,
By default, all trip cost is charged to employee's cost centre ( even if you have not been mentioned any cost centre) otherwise as per calculation guidelines.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/e6/3152a396d811d194c100a0c92946ae/content.htm
if you want to strict that trip shall be charged only employee cost center, then you have to change following.
Cost assignment specification: Complete Trip RP_TRAVEL_COBL_1700
Following is the more help available for your information.
I hope it would serve your purpose..

Set Up Variable Layout for Account Assignment Objects
The travel expenses accounting dialog contains the option to record cost assignment specifications for the complete trip, additional destinations (stopovers), receipts and the kilometer/miles distribution.
The user is provided with two options for this purpose: The entry area Alternative Cost Assignment to Master Cost Center in the travel expenses dialog, or the Enhanced Cost Assignment function.
Travel Management offers five different coding blocks that you can use to control the cost assignments within Travel Expenses accounting.
In this IMG activity you define the screen layout for the account assignment objects - the selection and order of these objects. In addition you can specify the field characteristics for each of the account assignment objects.
You can make these settings in relation to a specific user or the organizational assignment of the employee.
To do this, copy the return value from the feature TRVCO as a variable key into the key of the fields with which you want to set up the coding block.
Note
The feature TRVCO is only evaluated during screen layout of a coding block if it is assigned to the corresponding function module in the view Screen modification for assignment data. This view can be accessed using the entry Check assignment of feature TRVCO to coding blocks in the selection screen for the IMG activity Set up variable layout for account assignment object
In the standard version feature TRVCO is assigned to function modules. You should not change the following assignments:
Coding Block for Function Module
Cost assignment specification: Complete Trip RP_TRAVEL_COBL_1700
Cost assignment specification: Receipts RP_TRAVEL_COBL_1701
Cost assignment specification: Destinations RP_TRAVEL_COBL_1702
Cost assignment specification: Miles/KMs Distrib. RP_TRAVEL_COBL_17
Activities
1. Check the assignment of feature TRVCO to the function modules for the coding blocks using the appropriate action in this activity.
2. You can create new entries as follows:
a) Choose the action Account assignment object: Cost assignment specification: <appropriate entry area> in this IMG activity.
b) In the variable key field, enter the required return value from the feature TRVCO.
c) Enter the name of the field needed in the Variable name field.
d) Specify the field attributes for the field.

Cost center not updated when posting in non leading ledger

Hello FI Experts
I have two ledgers - Leading and Non Leading Ledger.
When I posted expense entry it updated both the ledgers and updated cost center value. This updated value i checked in cost center report KSB1.
For Ex: Rs. 1,00,000
Now I posted another expense entry in non leading ledger only. For Ex: Rs.50,000
How ever this entry didn't updated cost center report value. I checked in report KSB1
So I want to know:
1. Are there any cost center reports / profit center reports in controlling module where I can get non leading ledger specific amount in cost centers and profit centers
2. Is it possible to run assesment and distribution cycle, cost reposting and other CO transactions for non leading ledger amount
Deepak

Hi Deepak.
You can verify is the cost center was posted on document running tcode SE16N on the FALGFLEXA table, put the document number to do research.
After you can trying to post the new document through Tcode FB50L choosing or not a legder specific, then verify the document was posted correctly running the Tcodes SKb1 or Se16N with FAGLFLEXA table again.
Also you can check this link Checking the Allocation of General Ledgers to Cost Centres
