Strategies for valuation variant

Hi,
I am creating a valuation variant in Product Costing for standard cost estimation.
Could someone tell me what the most common strategies for materials, activities, subcontracting and ect. processing are?
I know that it depends on the agreement with client, but I don't have any information about the client needs, so have to do a standard, most common valuation variant.
Thanks,
Karol

Hi
General valuation strategies would be as follows
1) Material - Planned price, Std price, Moving avg price, Purchase Info records
2) Activity - Plan price for the period, Most upto date plan price
3) Sub Contracting - Effective price from purchase order, Net / Gross purchase order price
4) Ext Processing - Same as in 3
The above are general strategies - but also depends on various other parameters viz
1) Decision on activity pricing
2) Hw stable are material prices - it also depends on commodity types if u are
implementing for metals
3) Subcontracting strategies will work only if u hv subcontract situation. Here again u need to define a std price in the system and do sub contract product costing
4) External operation is used - if operations are outsourced to vendors. Here in routing u need to mention the info record etc. Lot of other setttings need to be done in this case.
However, the general settings are mentioned. Pls assign points if the above clarifies and let me know whether u hv sub contracting and external operation so that additional suggestion can be given further

Table entry for Valuation variant for material prices

We want to define a valuation variant for costing run. In that we need to select the material price based on the plan price. We have provision of entering three plan prices in the Costing tab-2 in the material master. But we want to enter plan prices for more than three dates. For this, we propose to enter the dates and prices in a separate table and that table needs to be accessed in the valuation variant for material prices closest to the date of valuation. How we can go about this ?

Hi
When you create Valuation Variant, choose Strategy U i.e. Price from userexit
Then code the exit COPCP0005 with the help of ABAP consultant
The logic should be:
a. Refer the "costing date from" entered in Ck11N
b. refer the Z table... and pick the price relevant on that date

Valuation price with user exit/BADI/Enhancement Spot (In valuation variant)

Hi all,
i am facing problem finding enhancement when creation of sales order of Valuation price with user exit/BADI/Enhancement Spot (In valuation variant)
For refferenece:
When going to t.code VA03, select one item and go to extras in the menu bar and select costing then you find some amounts calculation i.e valuation price automatically.
So when creation of sales order i am giving material and that material price automatically takes from material master and creating sales order.
My customer requirement is to get the valuation price of the input material from Z-table during the sales order cost estimate.
This Z-table contains the material code, plant , grade of the material.
Ex:
Material         Plant   Grade Price
A                1000    XYZ     25000
A                1000    PQR     35000
A                1000    BCD     45000
Suppose it depends on sales document type and which grade price i have to take.
So first of all i am unable to find enhancement where to change this code to get change the valuation price.
Does anybody have any idea , is there any user exit/BADI/enhancement for this.
So please help me in this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
lokeshgoud

Table for Valuation Price from USER EXIT - Cost Estimation

Hi All,
Can you let us know from where the system picks the price for VALUATION PRICE from USER EXIT when we have following setting in valuation variant
1.Valuation Price from USER EXIT
2.Price from Purchasing Info Records
3. Planned Price 1
Sub Stratergy.
1.Effective Price from Purchase Order
2. Net Quotation Price
3. Gross Quotation Price.
Now when we execute CK11N for a material, the system displays a cost price as 316 Euro/ unit.
But Standard price is 290 euros, info record price is 294 euros & planned price 304 euros.
Our previous cost estimation ( period 1, current period is 5) was 316 euro/unit (which was not correct), so deleted the cost estimation with CKR1 and try to rerun the cost estimation to update the value (new price), but still the system is picking the old price.
Can you let us know from where does(transaction code & table) the system is picking the old values.
In CK11N Material valuation (Valuation tab) its showing as Valuation Price from USER EXIT.
We have activated Material Ledger with price control "s"and we in ECC 6.0.
Do suggest.

Hi,
Where & how can i find the exit.
Do suggest.

Material valuation strategy U in valuation variant

Dear All,
We r trying to use the material valuation strategy U in the valuation variant.
We have also activated the project with the user exit
COPCP005 : User exit for material valuation (strategy U)
Component :EXIT_SAPLCK21_002
INCLUDE ZXCKAU08
However we r not able to get the desired result.
Could you please guide.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi Ram
During first costing run planned prices entered thru MR 21 will be updated as standard prices. Which means planned prices = std prices.
If you wish to change the prices 6 months down the line = u need to MR 21 upload again and over the earlier planned price. Then u do costing run again. with this costing run, if there is diff in standard prices, system posts revaluation entry.
For Raw materials
Create a simple query which gives u moving avg price, current std price. Analyze the variances and consider revised prices as planned prices for the next 6 months. Next, do costing run and system revaluates the inventory values for raw materials.
If the situation is that prices of raw materials are highly volatile, do costing run level by level as earlier suggested.
But give a word of caution to client on how dynamically variances get recorded and revaluation entries get posted. Also tell them how it impacts not only raw material valuations but also finished and semi finished stock valuations.
Pls assign points if the above clarifies your requirement.

Problem with Valuation Variant

Hi FICO experts,
Im getting the following error when creating the Production Order.
"No valuation variant found for valuation area BP01"
Pls help and i assure to reward for suitable solutions.
Regards
Tanya

Hi
When you create a Production Order , there is an automatic assignment of Costing variant, the systems tries to read the valuation variant through. Check transaction OPL1 for the costing variant shown in the Production order. Rectify or assign the valuation the valuation variant, your problem will be sorted out.

CK51N Valuation variant of the "ActivityTyes/Processes"

Hi Guys,
In the valuation variant of the "ActivityTyes/Processes", about the cost calculation of "Sales Order costing" (transaction CK51N), I set the strategy seq. 2 'Plan price as average for all fiscal year periods'.
I have some activities that have unit of measurement (technical field CKIS-MEEHT) = MS/MIN and MIS.
Does anyone know, firstly, how the system calculates the value of the activity, secondly, the exact formula or BAPI that the system uses?
Thanks and Regards,
Laura

Hi Laura,
every activity type has a unit of measurement (UoM) in its activity master data. The activity rate is planned based on this UoM.
'Plan price as average for all fiscal year periods' means for a given act. type XYZ with UoM MIS:
Period         Act. rate per UOM      total quantity planned
001-005      100 per 1 MIS            100 MIS
006-012      80 per 1 MIS              110 MIS
Its calculated like: (100 * 100 * 5 + 80 * 110 * 7) / (100 * 5 + 110 * 7) = 111600 / 1270 = 87,87 / MIS for every period in this fiscal year.
Best regards, Christian

Version in Valuation variant

Dear all,
in OPL1, the standard sap valuation variant - under the activity type / process - there is a option called verion.
what is the use of this? Where i can use this option???
Could you kindly give me an example
Waiting for your valuabel reply
Regards
Elango

Hi,
in the valuation variant under "activity type/processes" you can enter the CO-version where the activity rates are taken from.
Example: If you want to see the cost estimation effect of different activity rates (from different CO-versions) create two valuation variants with the only difference that one variant picks the act. rates from version X the aother one from version Y.

Costing variant/valuation variant

if any body is having the product costing material please send to [email protected]
    please through some light on product costing
                                                                        -gide

Hi,
Every cost estimate we create is based on the costing variant.
In the costing variant we define the control parameters and settings for costing
Settings contains info such as prices that will be used to cost the materials and activities
Control parameters are used for the automatic determination of of qty str ie Bom and Routing
Every costing variant contains a valuation variant and a costing type , date control , qty str control.
Valuation variant:
Valuation variant defines the price with which the material and activities are valuated
determines 1.which price is taken from material masterrecord to calculate the material cost
2.
which price is taken from cost center accounting to calculate the costs for internal activities
3. which price is taken from purchasing info rec to calculate the the costs for ext activities / subcontracting
4. which costing sheet is used to calculate the over head costs
Costing type:
costing type defines the valuation view to be costed and defines the purpose of costing.
Date control :
       controls the validity of the cost estimste , qty str date.
Valuation class:
For material costing the valuation class controls the cost element to which the planned cost of the material are assigned and the cost element under which the actual costs are updated when the material produced is delivered to stock
Valuation category:
specified the criteria according to which partial stocks are distinguished from one another
Price control indicator:
the price control indicator specifies whether the stock of the material is valuated with standard price or moving avg price
costing sheet:
            The costing sheet links all the functions for overhead calculation.
    In the costing sheet we determine the following
    1.The direct costs to which the over head is applied
    2.The condition under which the over head is applied
    3.Whether the over head is applied as a percentage basis or on a qty basis
    4.The amt of overhead percentage
    5.The validity period of the over head
    6.Which object is credited ( order , cost center) and which cost element in the case of actual posting
   We enter the costing sheet in the valuation variant in customising

nandha

Currency in valuation variant

Dear experts,
I have defined two costing variants for my client. One is picking the right currency (Euro) which is the controlling area currency and company code currency as well.
But the other costing variant is picking the currency INR. I want to know where the currency is defined in valuation variant.
Thanks in advance,
Vijaya

Hi,
costing (plan cost calculation) happens always in the controlling area currency.
If the basic data settings in the controlling area allow "Diff. comp.code currencies", the costing results are also stored in the comany code currency.
When viewing a plan cost estimate (eg CK13N) you can change the currency using Settings / Cost display in the header menu.
Best regards, Christian

Wrong priority, valuation variants

Hi all,
We are having two costing variants and valuation variants (maintained in transaction code OKP8), one for ordinary calculation and one for planning. The one for ordinary we have the following priority:
1. L Price from purchasing info record
2. 4 Planned Price 1
3. 1 Standard price in previous period
Sub-strategy: A Quotation Price via Condition Table
For the planning valuation variant we have the following priority:
1. L Price from purchasing info record
2. 4 Planned Price 1
3. 7 Valuation price according to price control in Mat. Master
4. 1 Standard price in previous period
Sub-strategy: A Quotation Price via Condition Table
Our problem is that; for the planning valuation variant the system choose priority 3, 7 Valuation price according to price control in Mat. Master instead of the info record that we have maintained. Planning price is not maintained thatu2019s why the system don´t choose that price. For the ordinary valuation variant the system choose priority 1. L Price from purchasing info record.
We wonder if:
1.Is that not possible to choose price from purchasing info record in two valuation variants, that you can´t combine this two?
2.If this not is possible, are we forced to maintain a planning price?
Best regards Lisa

Hi,
In your case as u have two different costing variants, generally there wont be any issue in having two different valuation variants for these two.
Genearlly system picks up the purchase info record even for plan based on the valuation variant u assigned.
Picking up the purchase inforecord is based on MM settings for material sourcing. check with MM how they maintained. Also recheck u r routing in planning.

MC.9 Caculation for Valuated stock turn over

Hi All,
For an item X –quantity sold is $ 11095
May Opening stock in $ : 145044
Stock as of today in $: 48879
Can anyone help me to find out the inventory turn using the formula in MC.9? it is because am not able to find how MC.9 is calculating turn for valuated stock.
Thanks Vijesh

Hi ,
MC.9 is designed S03* table , to my knowledge , you have to modify lis table.
SAP Note 64636 - Procedure for statistical data setup in LIS
SAP Note 111691 - Material-related statistical setup
Inventory Controlling
SAP Note 453420 - Incorrect stock values in LIS
1858368 - Value for field “Valuated stock” or “ValStockValue ” is incorrect in S032
On the otherhand, I understand that you need to period stocks quantity --> Please look at MBEWH table.
Also , MB5B report might be respond your query.

Contents of new costing variant, valuation variant and costing sheet not getting transported

In our development client,I have created a new costing variant, a new valuation variant and a new costing sheet in separate transports.
When I release the transports to move into the Test client, the contents of the configuration are not getting transported at all.
I tried to do them again manually using Table view - Transport , but again, if I view the transports in SE10,they don't show the table contents, etc.
Any help on this will be highly appreciated.

Ajay,
Let me make sure I understand.
Create a new TR using SE01
Go to transaction OKKN (costing variant)
Select the costing variant and then choose Table view - transport
Provide the transport number
At what point to I say 'include in request'
If I try to use the menu option Edit-Transport-Include in request in the beginning itself, the 'Include in request' is greyed out.
This is where I'm stuck
