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.
Regards,
Tim

System gives a warning message :- Configuration of raw material still not included in price determination
Message no. CK784
Also the save tab is greyed out.
this is the case with all config material
A solution to this would be highly appreciated.

Item Cost update Coneversion Error

Hi All,
I am doing item Cost Update conversion, while doing this i am getting the Following only one error for all the items.
Error Explanation - 'The default cost type for the cost type is not valid.'
Error Code - CST_INVALID_DEFCSTTYPE
i am inserting the data in the interface table 'CST_ITEM_CST_DTLS_INTERFACE'
in this table i am taking only the below columns
INVENTORY_ITEM_ID,
ORGANIZATION_ID,
COST_TYPE,
RESOURCE_CODE,
USAGE_RATE_OR_AMOUNT,
COST_ELEMENT_ID,
PROCESS_FLAG
and i am doing this only for materail cost, is there any extra columns i have to take in the interface table for doing with out getting the above error.
please provide me the data also for the extra columns.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks
Anushka

the above error can come only when the row being imported is missing any of "lot size" or "based on rollup flag" or
"shrinkage rate" or "inventory asset flag" values. Most probably it could be a setup issue.
when any of these values are missing, the values are defaulted from the default cost type
of the current cost type into which item costs are being imported into. If the
default cost type too does not have the values set for the above mentioned
columns which are having Null values, this message is displayed.

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.

Swapnil

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.

Update of Price in Material Master when standard costing is released.

Hello SAP gurus,
When we created standard cost estimate, various cost estimate is created in various views Cost of good sold, cost of good manufactured and Inventory ( commercial ). Different view have different cost estimate.
But we I release costing , the material master is updated by cost estimate of Inventory ( commercial). The cost estimate from Cost of good manufactured should be update?
I am not able to solve the above issue , please help with customizing link

Anand Agrawal

Hi Anand,
While you configure the Cost Componenet structure you define the attributes of cost Components in OKTZ.
When defining the cost components, you must specify whether the cost component plays a role in the creation of the different prices that are transferred into the material master record. You have the following options:
Standard price
Costs that are flagged as relevant for stock valuation form part of the standard price if the results of the standard cost estimate are marked and released. These costs also serve as a basis for the following:
The calculation of target costs in variance calculation
The valuation of scrap in variance calculation
The valuation of work in process for the confirmed yield for the operation (order-related production, process manufacturing) or at the reporting point (repetitive manufacturing)
Commercial price
Costs that are flagged as relevant for inventory valulation for the purposes of commercial law form part of the commercial price. This price is calculated in an inventory cost estimate and can be written to the material master record.
Tax price
Costs that are flagged as relevant for inventory valuation for the purposes of tax law form part of the tax price. This price is calculated in an inventory cost estimate and written to the material master record.
The above information will prove helpful.

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.

Cost Updating and Standardized cost difference apportion

Dear All,
1、 Cost updating：Standardized cost or average cost change is updated across all sub-inventory simultaneously, but the update should exclude the inventory that lends stocks (we do not want to update the cost of lending stock).
2、Standardized cost difference apportion：Standardized cost difference apportion is operated manually without system support (we want to do the apportion when stocks are delivered).
I am stuck up with these question ..
please let me know the solution or the workaround to achive this
Appriciate your help
Thanks

In a nut shell u can consider that cost elemnts are providing u the documentation for Financial reporting & legal entries of a company.
Cost centres are cost collectors for different expense/revenues generated within the organisation with repsct to controlling part (Internal documenation) of the compny for better controlling the business scenarios.

How do I update standard cost for split valuation material?

We are using split valuation on our maintenance material. Maintenance material is held in an inventory account separate from our production material. We have materials that are set up with a Parent material as variable, and child materials which are NEW or REFURBISHED or CORE.
The Child materials are set as standard cost. Some of the standards are old. Unlike our production materials, which have their cost standards on the Costing 2 tab of the material master, split valuation child parts have their costing on the Accounting 1 tab.
I attempted to update a cost standard by loading a future price manually in the material master. I was able to load a future price, but could not get it to release in CK24.
I have been unsuccessful in finding a process or procedure that tells me how to update a child standard once is already exists. There was one blog that said that the standards could only be released using CK24N if the quantity is zero. I attemped to update costs on part with zero quantity on hand. This was also unsuccessful.
I am looking for a process- ie 1) load a future cost using tcode XYZ, 2) Mark and release cost using tcode XYZ, 3) validate changed inventory value using tcode XYZ.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hi Govind
If your valuation variant reads MAP as the strategy sequence - Then average MAP will be taken... i.e. the MAP in the parent accounting view of the material will be taken
However, if your strategy sequence is intended to look for info records, then follow the link given in the earlier reply

Standard cost price update

Can anybody tell me in details the logic behind the standard cost price update.
Regards
Amitava

Hi.
1.After did the cost estimate in ck11n . you need to update the cost for the current period. then only it will update in the MM02 under the costing view.
2.In the update the costing , 2 steps need to do
a. MARK the costing . give the period for which you need to mark the costing. and execute in ck24
if you done . the price will update for the future period . you can see this in the MM02 under costing view / std costs
It means thats you do calculate and mark the cost but it will show in the future period in MM02 COSTING VIEW. . but you are not release this cost as the current period cost. so you are still in the old period costing only.
b. RELEASE the costing in ck24 itself. If you release the costing , then the costing will be show in the current period in mm02.

Update of standard cost

Hi
Is there a way of updating standard cost apart from transaction MR21 and cost estimate.
We are looking to update standard cost from some sort of condition type which will include the break down by transport cost etc.
And is there a way of maintain more than one price in SAP?
Thanks
J

Hi Sanjeev
I have tried transaction me12 and the field for conditions under extra's is greyed out. Do i need to do this thro config?
If there are more than one info record for the same material then how does the system know which one to pick up? or is there a flag on indicate the preferred vendor?
Thanks

Updating Standard Cost

Hi Everyone,
Is there anyway or any reason that the standard cost defined in the Item Master would be updated by the system? I have a customer who claims that the standard cost for one of their items has somehow been changed and they believe the system somehow made this change. The item is set up only as a Purchased Item.
I have gone into the Change Log for the item and printed off the Differences window for him because it appears that he changed it (he had changed the valuation method from Standard to FIFO and back to Standard). He claims that he did not enter the standard cost, however. I have tried to duplicate the changes he made in a Test Database to see if there is anyway to get the system to generate a change in the standard cost, and I haven't been able to do so.
It would be nice if I could send him copies of the Item Master Data - History Instances screens, but unfortunately the history screens show all of the valuation methods as Moving Average even though the Differences screen shows the valuation method going from Moving Average to Standard to FIFO and back to Standard.
Can anybody please either confirm my thoughts on the standard cost or explain how the system is changing the item cost and what method it is using to calculate the new cost?
I appreciate your help in advance.
Thank you,
Amanda

Hi Amanda,
A few points:
- The system does not change this price on it's own.
- Even if this was a Moving Average item it would not be updated by the system as this is not an Inventory item. FIFO and Moving Average are calculated prices, since no calculation is done it is an definition without meaning.
- For non inventory Items (like the item you are describing) no item cost is ever calculated.
- The price (when we are talking about a non inventory item) can be changed at any time.
- The only method that makes sense for a non stock item is standard.
- The standard price for these items to my knowledge would only be used as a cost price when this item is component in production bill of material and as a base price in gross profit calculation (this only works in 2007). (there might be other usage for it, but I wouldn't know of them)
I hope this information helps.

Plnned ,standard and actuval cost updation.

Dear All,
please let me know the following points,
after production order confirmation what values will be updated?
what is the functionality of ck11n?
Thanks,
Sekhar.

Hi!
After confirmation of the Production Order, system will give you the entry of GI for Order through 261 Mvt. Type which would be following :
Raw Material / Packing Material Consumption A/C Dr
To Raw Material / Packing MAterial Inventory Account Cr
Above would be for whatever goods have been issued to Production / Process Order.
CK11N is used to run the Standard Cost Estimate of particular Finished Goods / Semi Finished Goods, which should be run generally at the starting of any period every time. After that only Production Order should be run for that FG / SFG. By running CK11N (Or CK40N for mass run of Std. Cost Estiamate) and releasing through CK24, it will update Std. Cost for that specific period in Material Master for that FG / SFG. Based on that you have estimated (Plan) cost of that FG / SFG.
While you run the entire cycle of production order upto settlement, you will get actual cost for your production order. So, Based on above mentioned plan and this actual cost in your production order for that FG / SFG, you will also get analysis of variance.
Hope it will clear to you. Pls get back for further query. Encourage if useful.
Thanks & Regards,
Taral Patel
