Standard cost error..

Hi Friends
We have a material with diffrent valuation type per say MFG and procurment etc. During standard costing I found that standard cost is updated only at header level not at child material level, which cause of a loss of the difference cost.
Stock value is based on the individual valuation type i.e. is correct. But the problem in valuation type -MFG which having price control "S" having rate which was uploaded at the beginning of the SAP live . Now the standard cost of material has increased The stock which we are having in plant, evaluated at lower rate where it is consuming all raw materials at inflated/higher price. Why does its happening?
Please help us in solving this.

Hi,
You have to change the standard price, whenever price increase.
t-code is MR21.

Recursive Loop Error while doing standard cost estimate

SAP Gurus,
We are trying to do standard cost estimate on a material and we are getting error because it is going in recursive loop even though we have used "recursive allowed" indicator for item components in the BOM. The error message numbers are CK 730 and CK 740. We are using 4.6c. I have tried the same scenario in ECC 6.0 and still I get the same problem.
Below is my BOM structure:
Material 10890345 (has low-level code 012)
        ---> 10867220 (has low-level code 013) and has recursive allowed indicator
10867220
        ---> 10846733 (has low-level code 014) and has recursive allowed indicator
10846733
        ---> 10890345 (has low-level code 012) and has recursive allowed indicator
According to me, the BOM for material 10846733 is causing the problem.
For some weird reason while doing the costing run for material 10890345, it s not stopping and going in a loop.10890345 and 10846733 should ideally have the same low-level code as they are recursive.
Please help to provide some solutions at the earliest on how to avoid recursive loop during costing.

Dear,
I have 2 things to shear with you.
The method we followed to solve the iteration is as below
1.Config change -
Valuation variant in the costing variant, we changed the sequence as below
material valuation
4 planned price 1
2 std price
3 Mov ave price
2. Material master change
made all the semi finished goods and finished goods
procurement type = E,
costing with qty structure,
Enter the planned price1
By doing this what happens is
when system first start the iteration, takes the planned price 1 and start iterating and next time in the second iteration it takes the calculated price from qty structure till it finds the difference between the value calculated is less than .001. Then it gives the result
Why lot size is important is, in our case in some levels the usage is very less compared to the first material header qty and system used to stop in between and not even reaching the last level as during the cycle it was reaching less .001 difference. may be in your case it may not be the case...just check
Please come back after trying this. this was the only last option i had to solve the issue in my client.
Another alternative is to have a different material for costing purpose to stop the iteration which i will not recommend as we need to do some calculation for each stage and input the cost of dummy material in each stage.
My client is happy with the result as the difference between manual calculation and system calculation is less then .1%...this is because SAP will not consider the difference beyond .001, but in excel you get as many as decimals you want.

Standard cost update errored

Good Day All,
Happy new year. The Standard cost update process errored out for specific individual parts with the following being the only error message in the log file:
No Errorw CSTPSISC.INS_STD_COST (70): ORA-00001: unique constraint (INV.MTL_CST_ACTUAL_COST_DETAILS_U1) violated
CMLCCU-0999 : Cleaning up
The only thing I can find anywhere is in the CST MGMT users guide indicating uncosted transactions as the culprit. We have no uncosted or unprocessed transactions. I'm not sure what possible unique constraint on NV.MTL_CST_ACTUAL_COST_DETAILS_U1 is being violated and the error message obviously shows nothing. If anyone has any help I'd appreciate it.

Tim

Hi,
Refer note 362193 and check if that helps.

CK40N Error Message : CK 771 "Future standard cost estimate is locked"

Hi Gurus,
Good Day!
May i request your expertise regarding this matter. During the release of costing run, some of the materials had an error. Please see below example. I am wondering what might have caused this and what happened as 2 days after, this error was not encountered anymore after trying to release again.

Note that this is the costing date set to all materials but only few had the error.
Appreciate your response.
Let me know if there is anything more needed.

Standard Cost Estimate for Subcontracting

Dear Sir / Madam,
We are in the process of migrating from our normal R/3 operations for Production Planning to Execution inclusive of Costing of materials by using iPPE functionality for repetitive scenario. We have our BOMs for painted body currently in R/3. The painted body falls under subcontracting scenario.
In this scenario the body in white produced from our bodyshop is sent out to the subcontractor along with certain paint items and is received as painted body and consumption of the body in white and the paint items sent needs to be shown during the goods receipt of painted body.
For this we have maintained the BOM for the painted body in iPPE. Also in the costing variant "ZD01" in order to arrive at Standard cost (CK11N) for the painted body we have maintained the following settings for Valuation variant for subcontracting :
Priority     Strategy Sequence
1          Net Quotation Price
2          Effective Price from Purchase Order
While running CK11N for the material (painted body) we are receiving the following message
Message no. 28501 : Error in dependency processing: condition 0000062388 is empty
We wanted to verify whether the message raised is normal or would it have any adverse impact.
Your assistance would be highly appreciated.

Bhavika

Dear All,
Control Key is important for inhouse producrtion and Sub Contract. Check it once and when ever u have given the Product (semi fisished) to Sub Contractor, along with Paint.
Here one thing is important what is your process? how much portionis involced in Sub contracting. why because
Paint issue to the sub con is captured by the way for migo or miro
Payment to sub contract is capture all the cost of the Sub Con., then is there any cost is missed for this process. Let me know the remain things?

Standard cost estimate could not be found for the material

Dear All,
We have 4 manufacturing plants and 30 sale depots. We are maintaining price control (S) for FG and SFG in Manufacturing plants,price control (V) at depots for the same material code. we are getting an error message " standard cost estimate could not be found for the material" while doing billing at depot.
Please give me suggestion.
Your suggestion should be appreciate.
Thanks in advance............
AND
My client want to see profitability at manufacturing plant level and need break up for the COGM. So how can i get the values of depot sales.
please let me know how to do........

Hai
Price control should be S for Depot also. You need to run standard cost estimate in DEPOT after entering additive cost under CK74N for frieght, excise duty etc. To transfer the standard cost from the source plant you need to make configuration in OMD9 defining the receiver and sender combination so that system can pick up the cost from source plant. This special produrement type needs to be asigned in the material masters of DEPOT under MRP 2 view.

SAP allows release of Standard Cost for Material with Moving Average Price

Hi
We set our Raw Material to use Moving Average Price (V) and price determination 2 (single level). And we activated material ledger.
During mass calculation of standard cost (CK40N), If user accidentally forgot to restrict the Raw Material for being included in calculation, the system calculate standard cost anyway, even though I set it as Moving Average Price. And user is able to release it too without any problem.
Why the system does not restrict it? By giving error maybe. Although as for now I can not find the wrong effect from releasing standard cost for MAP material, by your experience, is there any side effect that I should be aware of?
Thanks

CK40n is mass release of all materials. The release is not dependent on price indicator of the material in the master. It will calculate standard cost of all the materials.
Releasing standard cost estimate of raw materials does not have any side effect as long your calculation is based on moving average price.

Blocking creation of production order if standard cost estimate is not done

Hi PP gurus,
Can anyone help me in blocking the creation of production order if the standard cost estimate is not done for the particular posting period.

Hi,
I do not think there exist a standart check. You can use exit EXIT_SAPLCOZF_003 to block creation of production order by sending error messages based on any condition.

Issue with Standard Cost estimates / Material Ledger

Background:
We have been using SAP for the last 5 years with Material Ledger active. Due to a number of reasons, we have not revised its standard cost estimates from 2001 till now. This means that at month end, we do not mark and release prices as recommended, nor do we mark prices and use dynamic release.
What Happened:
A new material called PFSW3 was made. This is a FERT. Before production
could start my team released the standard cost estimate for this material. Production was now able to proceed without problem. Then, when the time came to sell the material (VF02), SAP again raised the error 'cost estimate not found'. On checking the standard price in MM03, we discovered that the future cost estimate was missing. So we created and marked a new cost estimate in the middle of February 2007.
Problem:
When the first sale took place, SAP released the marked cost estimate and posted a Price Change document to adjust for the new standard cost. I understand this was due to dynamic release. Now, when month end came, the system settled all the production orders of material PFSW3 but did not do multi level costing on it.
Internal Investigation:
My team has determined that the material PFSW3 has price determination 2 set by mistake. All our other production materials (HALB and FERT) are
set to price determination 3 in the material master (accounting view).
Questions:
To sum this situation up,
we need to know why the material PFSW3 was not marked closed in its period status (CKM3) at the time of closing through CKMLCP?
What are the implications of not closing this material in Feb 2007 (current period status is showing 'Quantities and values entered')?
How can we close this material this month?
The future cost estimate is again missing for PFSW3 in March 2007 and I
fear we are going to face more problems as this material is sold to customers.
Please respond this is an urgent issue.

Dear Shumyl,
Please, have a look at Note 645083 - Material period status set to "Closing Entry Completed" that might help to closing your material in previous period.
Hope it will be useful.

Flaviano.

Sales Order costing error to prevent Plan Order generation in MRP run

Dear PP Experts,
We are into sales order costing due to Variant Config implementation.
Problem Statement: After sales order entry /Characterisitc value selection, while saving sales order , SO costing is auto triggered. Many a times one of the new Raw material price is not maintained( Purchase info record), hence SO costing occurs. SO costing is still saved, SO incompletion is not configured , so it is detected when Production order has 'No Target Cost'. This creates inconsistancy in FI postings.
My questions
- Can we set SO imcompletion for SO costing error( Standard Config?)
- Is there a enhancement to prevent MRP from processing Sales order with incompletion log i.e. Prevent MRP from generating Plan Order.
Best Regards,
Jatin

Hello Jatin
You can use BAdI MD_CHANGE_MRP_DATA to make the sales order not relevant to MRP.
Check the following document for an overview of the BAdIs available on MRP:

Standard cost item in foreign currency

Dear Experts,
The item valuation method is standard and it require us to fill in the item cost field.
Question is - can we maintain standard cost item in foreign currency?
Is there any documentation regarding this?
I tried entering the item cost in foreign currency and I get the error "Invalid monetary value (ODBC -1032)".

Hi
For Ex: One item "Cx001" ur buying from India today in INR and tommorrow ur buying same item from USA in Dollars...so it will be complicates....
SO u have to store ur standard cost according to ur local currency only.

Standard cost estimation after goods movement when material ledger is activ

Hi!
our client is activated material ledger, for some materials standard cost estimation is done till marking but not released.
goods movements have been posted for those materials.
Now system is not allowing to release the standar price for those material in the current period, as material ledger expects same price for entrie period.
what is the alternative way to update the standard price for those materials ( with out reversing the goods movements).
regs,
ramesh

Hi Ramesh,
When you are using Material Ledger, after goods movemnets for materials, no need to change the standard cost estimate as Actual costing run will take care to derive the PUP price.
If there is no standard cost estimation release for sold materials (e.g.FG), you will get an error message duirng the billing document release to accounting. To aviod this error, if you are using split valuation (valuation types) and mixing ratios (CK91N & CK94), try with the below steps:
Create a new valuation type for the same material
Crate CK11N & CK94,
Run CK11N
Run CK24.
Then release the billing document.
Let me know if you need more details.
Thanks & Regards,

Goods movement - without Standard cost

Hello All
In our existing client system, price control for new material X is maintained as 'S'. We have not maintained the standard price in it yet.
Ideally if price control is 'S' and you dont maintain a Standard cost of the material. SAP does not allows any goods movement on this material.
But without standard cost if I am able to raise a Purchase order (which is fine) and also able to do GR (using MIGO).
The result being GR is done and FI document is posted with PO price + MAP is updated with PO price.
Is it std SAP functionality or is there is a setting which I have missed. Please let me know.
Note: Price control indicator for material type is 'S'.

Dear Rajeshwari,
1.You can use the plant specific material status to block the material for production,purchase and inventory management,by
creating a new key in OMS4 and set the value as B in all these parameters and assign this value in the material master in MRP1
view of the particular material and set the valied from date.
2.In case if you want to remove this valu or say you have carried out a standard cost estimate,you can remove the assignment in
MM02.
3.For blocking the production order creation for the materials that does not contain a standard cost use this BADI -
WORKORDER_UPDATE(method during Release).
Check this link,
Re: error msg if no standard cost present for Production order target cost
4.Also go through the points suggested by Ajay,

Production Order with Standard Costing

Hai
How to activate check point
If standard cost (Price control -"S") is less then 0 in material master then production Order can not creae.
Dharmesh Soni

Hi Soni
As AMIT said this can only be solved only by User exit.
This user exit will pop up error message during plan order to prod order conversion while saving or during saving prod order when it is manually created.
This user exit will look whether the standard cost estimate has been run for the header material of prod order and will not allow you to save the prod order.

Costing errors at the time of creating and confirming production order

Hi friends,
I'm in the process of setting up a controlling activity called assembly of a product (this assembly is final assembly or would result in the finished product, JOTRUCK).
The Issue that I'm facing is, the system is not capturing costs.
i.e., it is allowing the creation and confirmation of production orders, however with a warning message which says costing errors.
Steps that I've completed (from controlling end):
1. defined primary cost elements
2. defined secondary cost elements with category 43.
3. defined a cost center.
4. In OKB9 I've assigned a couple of cost elements.
Please notify if there are any more steps that I need to configure for getting the right results.
If you have any material possibly with screen shots, pls do forward the same to: [email protected]
Regards
Kim

Hi,
I hope you have carried out the following activities:
1. Carry out standard cost estimate for the materials involved.
2. Check KKPAN to see the cost details of the product.
Need more details on the steps that you have carried out so far.
Regards,
SGP.
P.S - assign points incase the info was useful.
