Standard cost with different dimentions

Hi,
We have a scenario where one material can be sold at different length.
Ex: Mat A is wire
1 mr std price $2
2 Mr std price $5
3 mr std price $6
etc., till 10 mtr
user wants to have same material number but to handle the all the prices in standard price at different lengths.
I recommended that this is not possible with SAP so go with different materialnumbers with different lengths.
Is that correct or am i missing something from functionality, can any one help.

Hi,
The product is not manufactured its procured from vendor.
If the customer places an order for 5 mt then the the same will bought from vendor and sell to customer.
No inhouse manufacturing or assembling
we recommended to use the different material code for different length.
Just want to confir if thats correct or we can we use one material code for all lenghts.
if we use Variant pricing that will help Sales order process but standard cost in material cannot be updated using variant pricing.

Copy standard cost with Cost Component from another material

Hi,
I need to copy standard cost from another material not only total price but also details of cost component split. I try to used transaction CKUC with procedure of "explode material cost estimate" but the reference material use "mixed costing" and isystem stop explosion.
There is another procedure in order to make this copy? I can not use special procurement because are different codes (material A / Plant XXX copy froma material B /Plant XXX).
Thanks for your support.
Mic

Hi Chandra,
thanks for your suggestion, it works but only if I explode a level ... material "B" contains two mix codes that also contain their mixes. So system shows this message "Mixed cost estimate explosion in level 2 for material xxx" and "Mixed cost estimate exists: maximum of 2 explosion level (s) possible".
So Is not possible to copy and esploded a standard cost with multi level mix?
Thanks

Purchase Price Variance (Standard Costing) with Intercompany

We are missing Intercompany transactions in Purchase price variance report. Is there a setup which let's us include these transactions to be captured by PPV report
We do have standard costing in all Organizations

Finally got this answered from Oracle Support below is what they said. Does not make sense but atleast we have an answer
In principle the internal requisition hits the interorg variance account which is defined at the shipping network and is different from purchase price variance(PPV) account of the organization. So this is not included in PPV report. PPV report is only meant for purchase orders.
Best practice would be to define different account for PPV and interorg variance. Use PPV report to match PPV account with GL and use material distribution account detail report for Interorg variance.
If the customer defines PPV and Interorg variance account as the same then the workarounds would be :
1) Use material distribution account detail report.
Or
2) In R12 use SLA account balance reports

Standard cost with material with alternate BOM and Routing

I have a set up where the same material can be manufactured in 2 different production lines and each production line has two different BOMs and Routings. If I want to have a blended standard cost for the material what are our options?
We do not want to do split valuation.
thanks a lot

Hi
You can different PCC (Product cost collector) for both lines of the same product (Product cost by period).
You can define a production process within a product cost collector for each line of production with a combination of BOM and Routing. TCode KKF6n. It would generate a order number for each production process.
You can use each order within the PCC for each production line to capture the costs for seperate lines.

Standard PO with different delivery dates

Hai All,
Pls. clafiry my below query.
e.g. my PR Qty may be 30 PC (in one line item)
I want to create the PO in one line item with different delivery dates.
Like: 10 PC 15.12.2008
10 PC 20.12.2008
10 PC 25.12.2008
Rams

Hi,
In ME22N, on "Delivery Schedule" tab you can set manually on which dates the shipments should come.
If you want to have the right date for the PO item, you should carry out your settings accordingly to get proper results after MRP run. However, you cannot set MRP (as per my best knowledge) to create several Delivery date for one PR - MRP will create a separate PR for each different date.

Costing relevancy for operation in standard costing

Dear all:
We are using standard costing, with the usual master data (routing operations, work centers, activity tariffs, bill of material).
Due to certain specific operations we would like in certain routings that certain operations would have a fixed relevance for the cost calculation and subsequently for the real cost.
If we changed the planned time for the operation, notifications would need to be calculated (that is, if the real time is 45 min, and we have reduced the planned time in 80% we would have to notify 9 minutes).
If we change the tariff, this would affect to all the routings linked to thart work center.
We would also rather work with the current work center, so that we would not need to change our plant reports.
The Costing relevancy of the operation in the routing is not apropiate for this, as it only works for inventory costing.
Any simple idea to achieve that?
Thanks for your help.

Ariel,
In master receipe, without maintaining operation the phase can not be maintained.
Scheduling & costing of the process order are dependent on phase.
So hierarchly phase is below the operation but have importance than that of operation.
Control receipe destination is the mandatory entry.
Hope this helps you.

CO-PA Cost Component do not match with Standard Cost Component Values

Dear Members,
The CO-PA Cost Components (as mapped through KE4R), do not match with Standard Cost Component values for the Group Currency. In local currency the values match.
System is correctly picking up VPRS value, both in local currency and Group Currency, which is equal to the total of Standard Cost Components however, it is the Value Fields linked to the Standard Cost Components in Group Currency that do not match.
In KE40, the Indicator is 4:Released Standard Cost Estimate matching Goods issue Date.
I have verified KEPH/CKMLPKEPH tables. The values are same as that of VPRS.
Any help/clues?
Regards
Satya

Hi,
In case of billing documents the group valuation approach is managed in the data structures of the legal valuation in additional value fields. To control costs and revenues in the different views separately, you must create additional value fields and assign them to the data structures.
The field contents must be filled via the CO-PA user exit, they cannot be entered by assigning conditions to value fields. The profit center valuation is updated in a separate ledger. No separate value fields are necessary.
The exit to be used is function module 'EXIT_SAPLKEII_002' ( enhancement COPA0005 ). Within the exit you have the complete SD data avaialble in the tables 'T_ACCIT' and 'T_ACCCR'. The conditions can be found in T_ACCIT and the corresponding values ( linked via 'POSNR' ) in table T_ACCCR. The PA line item and the corresponding SD item in table ACCIT
can be mapped via the line item field 'RPOSN' and the field 'POSNR_SD' in table ACCIT.

CK24 - mark and release with different costing version

Hi,
We are currently using standard costing variant PPC1 and costing version 1 to mark and release the standard costs. However when we try to recost the material cost due to price changes, system does not allow to mark & release revised standard cost if we try to mark & release on same day. pls note standard cost estimate is already released for the month. And we do not want to delete existing standard cost estimate. Instead we want to explore other options. We are using 4.7.
My questions are :
a) Can recost using costing version 2? CK11N allows to save the costing result. However in CK24 Marking allowance, system does not allow to change Costing Version. is there any config option to change this.
b) If we cannot use different cost version, can we update material cost with same costing variant (PPC1) and costing version (1) in this case. However when we tried to do recost with same costing variant & verison on same day, system gives an error 'Material AAAA in plant MMM has a released cost estimate.'
Any inputs on above issue highly appreciated.
thanks
Sunil

Hi,
While, you can use any of the Costing versions to mark & release Standard cost estimate, you can release Cost estimate only once in a fiscal period. If you want to release correct prices, then you have delete existing released cost estimates using CKR1 transaction and then re-run CK40N to release.
Hope this helps.

Raw materials on MAP with split valuation used in standard cost estimate

We have a few raw materials which are purchased from different vendors and of different brands. We have opened split valuations for these raw materials. These raw materials are later used in manufacture of different finished goods. We use MAP for raw materials and Std. for finished goods. What configuration and processing steps will be required to run standards cost estimate and what will be standard price for a finished good considering the following example:
Material X is finished good
Raw Material A with split valuation @ USD 5 (brand aplha) & USD 10 (brand beta)
Raw Material B without split valuation @ USD 1
It is expected that we used brand aplha 60% of the time and brand beta 40% of the time and production batch size is usually 100 Kg.
Please reply
Edited by: Chris SAP on Sep 29, 2011 7:56 AM

hi chris
Hope you have configured the material A for split valuation. while calculating standard cost estimate for the material C. through ck11n, the system will pick up the header price from material master.
But here you are saying that you have chances of using the material A, 60% of brand alpha and 40% brand beta
Instead of using split valuation use mixed costing concept. create the material A with separate Ids and create two boms one with alpha and the other with beta.
create procurement alternative in CK91N and mixed ratio with Ck94 and release the mixed cost estimate
please go through this thread also

MIRO - additional costs - 2 acc. docs with different dates

Dear SAP Experts!
I have the following issue.
Case description:
On March 19 2008 my Customer entered additional costs in MIRO for material A. The document Invoice date and Posting date (as well as BaselineDt) on the header were entered as 29.02.2008
The way the additional costs were entered without purchase order reference, directly to Material Account using Material Tab.
The additional cost was entered for the ammount of material that was at that (29.02) moment on stock. (however there were some movements - sales and returns between 29.02 and 19.03)
The issue is - 2 accounting documents were created:
- one conatining postings to Vendor, Tax and Material accounts - with Invoice date and Posting date as entered in MIRO - both 29.02.2008
- second containing postin to Stock Account - Cr & Price Difference account - Db. however the dates that appear are Document date - 29.02.2008, Posting date 01.03.2008
So the first document goes to Period 2 and the second to Period 3.
Cutomer asks me for explanation.
The questions are:
1. Is this the way standard system works?
2. Why 2 accounting documents were created?
3. Why they were created with different Posting dates?
4. Why there were any postings done on Price Differences account if the additional costs were posted to the ammount that was on stock at the time?
5. Even if there is a logic that the date is different - why it was 01.03.2008 at this case not 10 or 19.03.2008 for example?
6. How does the system calculates the ammount that is posted to the Stock Difference accoun?
Thank you very much in advance for your advice!

Hi
1) PO quantity 100 unit. GR 40 unit and IR time also 40 unit.
This will post automatically during miro as GR/IR account value same for both GR and IR. The subsequent 60 unit in PO will be received in the next GR. is this process correct?
PO 100
GR 40
IR 40
Correct
2) PO quantity 40 unit. GR 100 and IR 100.
This will poat automatically during miro as GR/IR account value same for both GR and IR. User has to add additional line in PO for 60 units. is this process correct?
PO 40
GR 100
IR 100
You can the same line item of PO And invoice will get blocked.
3) PO quantity 100 unit, GR 100 and IR 50 unit.
Somehow in vendor invoice hardcopy stated 50 units. Due to different in invoice quantity, the invoice amount also different.
In miro, we cannot change the quantity value in line item. Amount at header less then total line item value.
GR/IR can be setoff completely as I do not change line item quantity. Correct?
May I know what should I do on the difference?
PO 100
GR 100
IR 50
You can post the invoice for 50 units. System will accept it.
4) PO quantity 100 unit, GR 100 and IR 150 unit.
Somehow in vendor invoice hardcopy stated 150 units. Due to different in invoice quantity, the invoice amount also different.
In miro, we cannot change the quantity value in line item. Amount at header more than the total line item value.
GR/IR can be setoff completely as I do not change line item quantity. Correct?
May I know what should I do on the difference?
PO 100
GR 100
IR 150
Invoice get blocked
Thanks

Routing different from Standard Cost: Scrap Variance Calculation

Hi,
We have issue with Scrap Variance Calculation/WIP calculation when the Routing in the production order is different from the routing in th standard cost. When we run varaince calculation we are getting an error message saying that variance can be calculated as quantity structre of the production order is different from quantity structure of the standard cost. I understand that this is standard SAP. But routing changes seems to be pretty common acorss the Industries espcially when the demand is high and the manufacturing happens in different machines.Do any of you had similar issues and can you share how this can be resolved.
Thanks,Sasi

Hi Sasi
Go to OPR4_KKS AND OPR4_KKS1 and see... I think you can convert this msg into warning message..

Problem with rounding in standard cost estimate.

Hi All,
Happy 4th of July!
I have a problem with the standard cost estimate where the system try to calculate overhead costs (from costing sheet) with a fix percentage (9.7%) to the value coming from material consumption costs element.
Let say I have $1.71 material consumption and the overhead rate of 9.7%
The real calculation should be (1.71*0.097) = $0.16587
But at CK11N screen, it shows only $0.16 (two decimal rounding)
Is there a way that I can bump the rounding to at least 3 decimal point to make it more accurate?
Very appreciate any input you guys can share. Thank you.
Charitha

Hi Chari ,
My experience says that you can use only 2 decimals ..
Moreover , please have a look into SAP Note : 639410 - CK11N, CK13N: Message CK869 due to rounding
differences.
There a some source code corrections also on rounding differences- check if it helps you also...

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.
Regards,
Flaviano.

Material Cost Estimate with different lot size.

What happens if the material cost estimate is run twice using different lot sizes each time (all other parameters unchanged) for the same period?
Will the cost estimate run later overwrites the results from cost estimate run earlier (though the lot size is different)? What is the role of lot size in a material cost estimate?

The costing lot size impacts your cost estimate if you have lot size independent costs (i.e. setup cost). Those fixed costs are spread over the costing lot sizee to give you a cost per unit.. Larger costing lot sizes can also help you minimize rounding issues.
You can only have one marked cost estimate in a given period. However, you can create and save a cost estimate as many times as you want as long as you have not marked it for release. When you save the estimate it will overwrite an existing estimate. You also have the option of creating multiple estimates under different versions or with different costing variants.

Split Valuation with two Standard Cost

Hello,
I have one question regarding split valuation where i need to keep both the valuation type as standard price, in that case how to calculate and release cost for valuation type. Logically keeping both is not pheasible. But want your experience how this is beed handled by others.
Thanks

Hi,
If one material has split valuation, standard price will be released only for header segment (valution type blank). You have the possibility to release standard price for in-house production segment, if you set the 'Default'-flag in the customizing transaction for splitted val. (OMWC) for the val. category 'X'.
Please read the note 552486 that contains information about this context.
Alternatively you might create a mixed cost estimate to release prices for each procurement alternative that is associated with a val. type.
The only way to mark and release a standard costing per valuation type is by using the functionality of mixed costing. That means that you have to define a quantity structure category and define a procurement alternative based on a valuation type of your material. Afterwards you have to define a mixing ratio for your material and the defined quantity structure category.
Based on this master data (procurement alternatives and mixing ratios) it is possible to carry out a mixed costing, one part of this mixed costing should be a cost estimate based on your valuation type. If you mark and release the mixed cost estimate the system will set the standard price on valuation type level (prerequisite: you have defined the procurement alternative based on the valuation level).
