Subcontracting for standard cost material

Hi
We have scenario where 95% of the Semi finished product will be produced in house where we will be using standard BOM, Routing.
Now in case of Plant Breakdown, the raw materails will be given to the subcontractor and he will perform the process and sent us back the fsemi inished product.
We are dealing with only One number of semi finished product here and only one work center. So if one machine fails the entire processing will be done at the sub contractor and will receive the semi finished product.
In this case how to handle the subcontract charges which occurs rarely only in the event of machine break down.
For info- we are using std price for that One semi finished product.
Thanks

Hi Aravind
Manage the exceptions in exceptional way.. Its often difficult to set up a process to manage the exceptions
What you said is an exceptional case.. So, let it be like that.. i.e.
-Dont have any Split Valuation....
-Have just one std cost based on BOM+Routing
-Whenever you subcontract, the difference between (Consumption of Inputs + Sub Con Charges) AND Std Cost will be accounted as PRD... So, let it be like that and treat as overhead in Costing

Can we use two costing variant for standard cost estimate

Hi,
Can we use two costing variant for standard cost estimate of two different materials in the same period ? e.g. Costing variant Z001 for Material code 1000 and Costing Variant Z002 for Material code 2000.
Here the system is not allowing to change the costing variant in Marking Allowance (t code CK24) for marking and release of Material cost 2000 if the standard cost for Material code 1000 is already marked and released.
Thanks,
Bijay

For a material in a period only one price can be released. Though you cn have two separate costing variants and then calculate standard estimate with that. U can release based on one variant only for a month. Or use MR21 and update the price as per the other variant
Thanks and Regards

Analysis report for standard cost in CK33N

Hi,
Analysis report for standard cost
Using variant Z003 in CK11N.
Planned cost 3 is the output used for planning and this is adjusted by making changes to the BOM throughout the process
In CK33 you compare the 2011 cost for the product with the proposed cost for the next year. For some parts it works and for others it splits the lines, though the calculation is still correct.

Hi Revital,
I believe the last option is correct.

Can we use two costing variants for standards cost estimate release.

Hi,
We have 2 plants (plant 5100 and plant 5200) under company code 5000.
We have run standard cost estimate(CK11N) for material 98001000027 at plant 5100 using costing variant ZG01 and at plant 5200 using costing variant ZG02. First, we released standard cost estimate (CK24) for this materia at plant 5100 and set (in marking allowance) costing variant ZG01 and costing version 01. Next time when we are trying to release the standard cost estimate for the same material for plant 5200, it is automatically picking ZG01 as costing variant in marking allowance and it is not allowing to change the costing variant to ZG02 saying Company code 5000: Release already carried out, cancellation not possible, Message no. CK797.
Is it possible to use two different costing variants for release of standard cost estimate for a material at two different plants at the same company code? If so how?
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Bijay

Hi,
Thanks for your reply again.
What is the benefit of assigning "Single Valuation Variant same to different Plants" ? In costing variant also we can assign maximum only one valuation variant and this valuation variant will default for all the plants, and hence I dont think it is necessary to assign same valuation variant to different plants.
My issue is :
Example: ( Standard Cost Estimate for material 98001000027)
Plant - 1
Material Cost                                             Rs.100
Labour Cost                                               Rs.50
Overheads (10% of Labour Cost)                  Rs.5
(say ,through costing sheet - 1)
Total Standard Cost Estimate                      Rs.155
Plant - 2
Material Cost                                             Rs.150
Labour Cost                                               Rs.100
Overheads (20% of Labour Cost)                  Rs.20
(say, through costing sheet - 2)
Total Standard Cost Estimate                      Rs.270
Now, Please explain why we cannot have two Standard Cost Estimates for a material at two different plants? If it is possible to have two standard cost estimates for a material at two different plants, how to take care of overheads (rate of which varies) at two different plants (plant - 1 > 10% and plant- 2>20%) as we can assign maximum one costing sheet to a valuation variant variant?
How to map the system so as to meet the above requirement?
Thanks,

Subcontracting for Non valuated material.

Hai all MM gurus,
The client is doing Jobwork - From fabric to Trousers for the customers. This material is not his own material, so he treat this material as a Non valuated material.The part of work say pocketting or lining has to be done by his vendor, it should be a subcontracting work. While doing Subcontracting PO for this non valuated material, system is throwing the error " acct assignment mandatory ". Is there any other way to map this scenario in SAP.

hello u r scenario is littlle confusing...
u r supplying the compent material to SC vendor so u have to attach the same in component over view.. but any how u r goin to give him the conversion or job work chargs for doing the job work.. so u need to create the valuated material(fineshed material which u r going to receive from Sc vendor and sell the same to ur customer)...and attach the same in PO with item category L....

Prevent order creation for non costed material?

Hi Experts,
I want to prevent creation of production orders for materials which are not costed. How can we do this?
--Sachin

Sachin,
The easiest way would be to use value of "04" (Needs Cost Estimate) in material master "X-plant matl status" field in basic data view or "Plant-sp.matl st" in Costing view for that specific plant.
"04" status will prevent creation of production/process order. We have used this successfully in the currently client project.
You can find all the materials that do not have a cost and then use MM17 to update the value.
Try and revert back.

Swapnil

Template allocation for standard cost estimate

Hi Guys
Can you please explain me how template function is triggered when we run a std cost estimate? What is the link between two?

RE: Subcontracting for customer provided material

Hi All,
We have a customer delivering goods to manufacture and inturn he will be purchasing the goods from us. Can any body give solution. I perepared the Bom with material provided by customer in the components. what extra settings I need ?

Please explain the scenario in detail.
If I understand it correctly the customer gets the material from outside and the customer processes the materials and then sends it back. If this is right, we have to decide how the materials are to be treated whether Valuated or non-Valuated.
If the materials are valuated then it is a normal process as like creating a process order with a special order type and all other steps are similar to regular procesing. Please explain the process in detail so we can suggest a suitable solution.

Writing Accounting Entry extensions for Standard Costing

Hi All,
Has anyone worked with writing extensions through PL/SQL OR Workflow. Cost Managment User guides does not include so much information. I really need help regarding from where to start, what function to modify/ write, what workflow to modify/ write etc. I need to incorporate PRODUCT CODE.
I found following packages from user's guide. I could not found the package CSTPSCHK onto the server but I found following two onto the server.

Actual costs for laboratory exams / Material Ledger

Hi Experts
I have a doubt for actual cost scenario for laboratory industry.
My background is for product cost for consumer goods, specially food companies, so this is a new segment for me.
This laboratory has baseline version, no service/production order, it means all material consumption goes to cost center and they use activities to send costs from cost center to cost center.
They have BOM for all exams (finished product). They only run CK40N for standard costs but they don't have actual cost (material ledger - CKMLCP) implemented.
This is the issue: they want actual cost for every exam in the way we have for consumer goods industry.
So they can analyse profitability for product (exam) x customers.
I wounder if the same industry actual cost scenario can be applied to this business segment or if there is a special SAP solution for this segment.
The main issue is the stock, there is no stock, it´s service. I believe we could change the account in BSX key (OBYC) for some P&L accounts but I´d like your opinion/experience.
I hope you help me to clarify these doubts
Thanks in advance.

Dear Rupesh,
I don't think so there will be any std.report in PS module to show plan vs actual cost of material component.
For looking plan vs actual cost in PS having many std reports but they don't show for material component.
I think for this you need to develop a Z report which will show Plan vs Actual cost of material component.
In CN52N report (Component overview report) you can add two fields one is for plan cost & other for actual cost.This can be one of possibilty you can try.Otherwise develop a new Z report for the same.
For this you need to take yr abaper's help.

Invenotry Valuation for BOM or regular items in standard cost

How SAP defines Inventory Valuation for BOM (Parent, Child) with different Inventory types? If Parent Items is Inventory and Sales only but Child Items are Inventory and Purchase Items then the inventory value will base on each Item Cost or....
When you use Inventory Good Receipt the Item Cost grayed out that forced you to use Unit Price in Inventory Master Data file for this transaction and reflected to the Inventory Valuation Report. Is this the way for "Standard Cost" method?
For Standard Cost method, the Item Cost will be used from regular SO, Delivery and Invoice only?

Inventory value will be base on each Item Cost when you use Standard Cost method. It will apply to all marketing and inventory document.
As for BOMs, they are only templates. You could assign any price lists to them. Therefore, until the production order created, any cost of BOM would only be a reference.
Thanks,
Gordon

Report painter/writer for actual cost component split

Hello Gurus,
Any of you guys ever explored possibility of creating a report using report painter or writer that can give both Standard and Actual cost component splits in one report? Is it even possible without custom ABAP involvement?
Thanks
RG

Hi Raghu,
After your reply, I am getting a doubt..
Have you Activated Material Ledger? When you say Actual Cost Component Split, are you talking about it what you get in Actual Costing/Material Ledger?
If yes, then you can map your cost compnents for Actual Costing in the path SPROControllingProfitability AnalysisMaster Data Valuation--Setup Valuation using Material Cost Estimate -- Define Access to Actual Costing / Material Ledger
Further, there are no standard reports available in COPA. Try to build a report comprising two columns, 1st column with the value fields which are mapped for Standard Cost Components and 2nd column with the Value Fields which you have assined for Actual Costing under the above path.
You will be able to get the comparison...
Pls don't hesitate to call me for further assistance....

Standard cost

hi all,
just wanted the transaction code for standard report for standard cost of material. ur answers are appreciated
thanks

Hi,
As far as I believe you can use MBEW table for getting these detials of standard price for a particular material.
For cost estimate CK13 N which is obviously for stanad cost.

Costing sheet and standard cost estimate

Hi
I am trying to use Costing sheet for overhead calculation .
But in costing run I am not getting the overhead amount calculated .
I created the costing sheet and assigned that to valuation variant .
Where from the actual / Plan values being picked up for over head calculation .
More over I need to understand on what basis the %age for overhead can be calculted to be aborbed to material cost .
In costing run I am having ZERO values for overhead .
I have followed the following steps
Costing Sheet: Components
Define Calculation Bases
Define Percentage Overhead Rates
Define Quantity-Based Overhead Rates
Define Credits
Define Overhead Keys
Define Overhead Groups
Even then the Production overhead is not being calculated at the time of Cost Run
for standard cost estimate .
regards

Do you enter overhead group in the material master.
Key that groups together materials to which the same overhead is applied.
Procedure
In costing with and without quantity structure, and when costing production orders and run schedule headers, you can apply percentage overhead charges by means of an overhead key if you:
Assign a costing sheet to your production order or run schedule header, or to the valuation variant for the cost estimate
Enter overhead charges in this costing sheet that use the overhead key field
Assign the overhead key to an overhead group
Enter this overhead group in the material master record of the material

How to assign search help for custom cost centre field in SRM 7.0

Hi Experts!!
We are currently working in SRM 7.0.As per our business requirement, in account assignment tab we need to use a custom
cost centre field (ZCOST_CENTRE) instead of standard cost centre field.It is observed that for standard cost centre field there is a standard web-dynpro search-help assigned where it will return the F4 search help values from backend.
Can any one of you please help me how can I assign the search-help for the custom cost centre field. Is there any FM to call the backend cost centre search help for custom field or any other way how can I achieve this?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Kalyani

kalyani,
i can see your requirement in below way..
as it just reads: you need to assign the standard cost center help to a z cost center field in component /SAPSRM/WDC_UI_DO_ACC.. which actually is fetched though the component /SAPSRM/WDC_UI_BACKEND_SH
so, if you see the component controller of SAPSRM/WDC_UI_DO_ACC you will see the component
USAGE_SH_F4 /SAPSRM/WDC_UI_BACKEND_SH
USAGE_SH_F4 /SAPSRM/WDC_UI_BACKEND_SH INTERFACECONTROLLER
so you can replicate the same functionality for your z field.
but can you clarify one thing.. why are you going for this z field in place of standard field ?
