Standard Cost and 'What if' cost

Hi
Standard Cost and 'What if' cost
Please explain what is the difference between Standard Cost and 'What if' cost estimate.
Does anybody has the idea about 'What If' cost estimate.
Raju

Hi Venkat,
First of all there is no concept called What if cost in SAP.
I feel you might be talking about the simulation cost.
Simulation cost is a cost estimate done based on certain different parameters which may be different from standard cost.
For example, we may do simulation costing using Plan Version 11. Normally we will be using Version 0 for standard cost.
Please let me know are you talking about the simulation costing or Cost Object planning.
Best Regards
Surya

I have snow leopard 10.6.8 and want to get on iCloud which requires Lion... should I buy Lion at $29.99 now and upgrade to Mountain Lion when available (I can't see where it is available for download yet) and what is cost of upgrade to Mountain Lion? Or should I simply wait for Mountain Lion?

I would wait for Mountain Lion to be released. According to Apple, Mountain Lion will be released by end of July 2012.
It will cost you only $19.99 to upgrade. You can find all the details at the following link...

Difference between the planned cost and the target cost

Hello guys,
I am really confused between the planned cost and the target cost.As Per the sap help target cost is cost required to produce certain quantity of material.And planned cost even carry the same definition.
So is there any difference between these two cost.Are they same?

Jitendra,
Genarally in CO we will define Target cost is getting calculated in the Production order based on the "Standard Cost Estimate" after GR. Planned costs are calculated based on the current costs.
Example:
Assumption: Assembly Material A with Standard Price, Component B and Component C is maintained with Moving average
Material A Cost 1EA = (component B = $10 + Component cost C = $20+ Activity Price $1) = $31, this is the standard cost estimate for the material.
Now I create a production order on 15th of the month, and the Moving average price for component is now $20 due to subsequent GR with higher price. Now the planned cost for the order would be (20201)=$41, whereas the Target cost would be still $31.
Hope I was able to clarify,
Regards,
Prasobh

are not costed.
What could be the reason for not picking the cost for the material R7000
                                                                                R7000

Please help me..
Thanks in advance.

Hello Janardhan,
This is standard SAP behaviour. As per details given by you, it seems that material's consfiguration profile have settings of "Order BOM" and "multi-level" in CU43 transaction. So for such settings, system behaves differently for Engineering BOM and sales order cost estimates as given below.
1. Click on u201CEngineeringu201D Button and then click on u201CCalculationu201D Button : System simulates the cost estimates through transaction CU51. And in CU51 BOM explosion for cost estimate is multilevel. So system will show all the components in the BOM of header material. So you will find all the components listed in Cost estimate simulation.
2. Directly click on u201CCalculationu201D button : System simulates the cost estimates as it use to simulate in VA01 transaction. Becasue of this, there is NO BOM explosion till last level. System will only simulate the Cost estimate by exploding the BOM till 1st level. So system will show only 1st level BOM components. So you will find only 1st level BOM components listed.
So dont try to check anything in it, as its standard SAP behaviour.

Nachiket.

Report to display Mat Cost Planned Labour Cost and Over head cost

Hi Abapers,
Greetings of the day..
I need a Report that Display Material Cost , Planned Labour Cost,Actual Labour Cost and Over head value
where do i start from and what are the tables involving in this report..
if already done this A code snippet is more helpful...
Thanks In Advance...
Thanks & Regards
Sathish

Assuming you are talking about Maintenance Order.
Use table: PMCO.
Here the line with field VORGA having value KPPS gives the Planned Costs of the Order in the field WRT01.
Similarly, the line with field VORGA having value RKL gives the Actual Costs of the Order in the field WRT01.
Also have a look at Tcode KKBC_ORD.

Reg. Process cost and raw material cost add

Dear Friends
We are doing subcontracting that is E & L combination main material is Semifinished and component is Raw material, when I do goods receipt component is going to consumption through 543 mvt type(process order consumption),but the raw material cost and process cost is not added only the process cost is comming. what to do in this case. Pls help me, how to add both of cost.
Thanks
Rajakumar.K

hi,
What is the price control in accounting view you have maintained for semifinished? If it is S then it will not get updated. Only if it is V, system will capture raw material & process cost to the Semi Finished.

Reg. Process cost and raw material cost added

Dear Friends
Please consider our below scenario
PO is created and stock is maintained in unrestricted (Raw material)
and then Production order is created for Cut pcs and Raw material is issued to production order through 261 mvt type
next Cut pcs is received against the production order through 101 Mvt type. Now operation cost is not added with the Raw material cost, only the Raw material cost is represents in MIGO-> FOOTER - QUANTITY->Quantity in LC field. What to do to calculate the process cost too.
When we receive the cut pcs what we attached as component to the cutpcs's cost is calculated, the charge for Cutting is not calculated. we want both cutpcs charge(10.00 per pc)+component cost(raw mat. 180.00 per 1 kg)
Cut pcs 10 pcs * 10 Rs = 100 Rs
Raw mat 10 kg * 180 Rs = 1800 Rs
the total cost is 1900 Rs should come in that field
Thanks

Landed Costs and Warehouse Transfer Costs

We have an issue that Iu2019m sure B1 can handle, but Iu2019m not sure how to go about it. When we have a shipment of items come in from overseas, we enter in a landed costs document so that those shipping costs are appropriately distributed as products are sold from our LA warehouse. Sometimes however, we ship multiple items from our LA warehouse to our Utah warehouse. What I want to do is basically run another landed costs, so that the shipping costs of sending items to Utah is also apportioned between the different items. There doesnu2019t seem to be a place to enter this in the Inventory Transfer document. How would I go about solving this problem?

Hai Derek Perkins,
Try it out this solution if it satisfies,
Instead of booking Inventory Transfer, Book a Goods Issue(which Credit the Material Acc and Debit Freight Acc)
Then Book Goods Receipt with (Itemcost+Freight Cost) as unit Price (which Debit Material Acc and Credit Freight Acc)
Now, the Expense incurred in Transport can seen through Freight Acc.
Note: In Goods Issue even if u enter Price system pass Ledger only for Itemcost.

Difference between Asset Cost and Sum of Cost of Source Lines

Dear Members,
I have an asset for which the cost is shown as 1,672.696 at header level in Source Lines window.
But when I summed up the cost of the source lines of the same asset it is coming as 3345.392 (which is double of the amount shown at the header level).
Can any one please tell me why there is a difference.
Steps I Followed:
The navigation I followed is as follows:
FA Super User-->Asset Workbench.
In the find screen I have entered the asset number and clicked on Find button.
Once I clicked on the Find button ,I can see the 'Assets' scrren on which I clicked on the 'Source Lines' button.
Now Iam in Sourcelines window and here I can see the difference.
Thanks in advance.

Arun Reddy.

What is cost of a particular item?

I can see the cost of the particular item in the 'Item Cost History' form of Oracle Apps for a specified date.
If i wanted to see the same in back end table, what table should i refer?
MTL_CST_ACTUAL_COST_DETAILS, MTL_CST_TXN_COST_DETAILS & CST_LAYER_COST_DETAILS.
What is the relationship among these tables? Are there any relationship to these tables from other tables??
Edited by: Arun Prasath on Jan 21, 2013 8:21 PM

Me itself found the answer. Here i'm giving the query for others to use..
SELECT COST_ELEMENT_ID,SUM(MACD.ACTUAL_COST)
     FROM MTL_CST_ACTUAL_COST_DETAILS MACD
     WHERE COST_ELEMENT_ID IN (1,2,3,4)
     AND MACD.ORGANIZATION_ID= 'Organization_id'
     AND MACD.INVENTORY_ITEM_ID= 'Item ID'
     AND TRANSACTION_ID= (SELECT MAX(MACD2.TRANSACTION_ID)
                              FROM APPS.MTL_CST_ACTUAL_COST_DETAILS MACD2
                              WHERE MACD2.INVENTORY_ITEM_ID= 'Item ID'
                              AND TRUNC(MACD2.TRANSACTION_COSTED_DATE) <= 'The desired date'
                              AND MACD2.ORGANIZATION_ID= 'Organization_id')
GROUP BY COST_ELEMENT_ID
This query will give the various costs like Material cost, Resource cost, Overhead cost, Outside processing cost and Material Overhead cost of a particular item.
Thank you.. :)
