Sytem restrictions during Releasing new Cost Estimate during the year

Hi,
We are currently using Moving Average Price for Traded materials (Material type ZHAW) with Price Control indicator "V". We have an internal requirement to change the basis of valuation to Standard Cost immediately. Thus we have to change the following immediately before the close of the current Financial year:
1) Change the Price control indicator from 'V' to 'S' in the material master of Traded materials.
2) Thereafter, release new Standard cost estimates for all such materials in the current year. This is required because the business wants to have a different standard cost from the existing Moving average price.
I would like to know what are the system restrictions / safeguards to be taken care of before doing the above activities, since we are doing this before the period-end & year -end.
Your early response will be appreciated.
Regards,
R.Rajaraman

You can change the price control from V to S or vice versa. You might need some additional config for if required to send the price differnece to variances account in OBYC. Other than that since it is trading materials which are not produced you might not need Product Costing Planning.

CK11N, release new costing estimate

Hello all experts,
Please help me on the following question, thank you!!
For example: Product A, it has a standard cost estimate which is released on 01.01.2010, it's costing date from is 01.01.2010 and costing end date is 31.12.2010. In the middle of the year, for example in May, the exchage rate was change a lot, so we want to release a new cost estimate for it. The costing start date is 01.05.2010 and costing end date is 31.12.2010.
My question is: Is it possible for me to do so directly in CK11N and then mark and release it in CK24?
Thank you very much!!!
Mavis

Dear,
The Standard Cost Estimate/Costing Run will be executed only in Company Code Currency i.e., Local Currency. Exchange rate differences will happen only during execution of Actual Postings.
For example : Goods Receipt of 100 units @ $ value of Rs. 45.
Finished Goods Account   DR      4500
GR/IR Clearing Account    CR       4500
Invoice Receipt/Invoice Verification -MIRO:
Invoice Receipt 100 units @ $ Value of Rs.48
If the stock is available, the Inventory/Stock Value will be revaluated with the new price. If the stock is not available the Exchange difference will be posted to Exchange Gain/Loss Account based on OBYC settings, like this.
Exchange Gain/Loss A/c     DR     300
GR/IR clearing A/c               DR   4500
Vendor A/c                            CR   4800
If you want to update the Material Master with new Standard Price, you need to Reorganize existing Cost Estimate through t-code CKR1 and re-run t-codes CK11N and CK24 for Mark and Release the new price.

Releasing Standard Cost Estimate

Is it possible to release a cost estimate of a product more than once in a month ? If yes, please provide me clues.

It is based on the no. of times the costing run you did. If any change in the cost /prices and if it requries....then rerun is compulsory.
Normally, releasing happend at the end, after checking all the data. because if any thing found extra/new in the materials.

Cost estimate of the product

Hi,
Can anyone please let me know what is process for cost estimate for the product in SAP. Just give me a thought in simple terms.....
1. How system will estimate the costs?
2. In which cases we should settle the costs?
3. What is the process to settle the cost through internal orders/gl's etc.,?
4. What are the main requirements for this process?
Please give us your thoughts on the above mentioned queries...
Regards
Krishna

Cost estimate for a material is done by the system through product cost planning.
You have to define the following:
A cost component structure which splits the cost into different components as per your requirement
A valuation variant which decides the various factors such as material pricing, activity pricing, sub-contracting, external activity prices, etc.
A costing variant which controls the parameters for a costing run which helps to update the prices in the material master.
a production run is carried out for a production order, process order, product cost collector etc. Periodically these objects are settled to the material in question.

Error during release of costing run

Dear All ,
While I am trying to release a costing run in CK24 for a material the system is giving error "Use Price Change in Material Ledger for material " , message No : M8 313.
Can anybody tell how to overcome this situation .

Hello,
in CK24 are giving correct material code and plant
if yes just check the pricing indicator i think it is V that is reason system generating this error and at the time of costing run also there may be some errors. By click on the error log you will get some more information

Release of Cost estimate error

Hi,
I am creating a material cost estimate by CK11n.
Then doing Marking of the cost estimate in CK24.
But, while releasing it gives errors like present period is too early.
I have checked the current period in MM03.
Ususally this problem starts during last week of the month.After 17th or 18th of the month the costs do not get released, accounting documents of billing docs of SD doesn't get generated. It asks for waiting till opening of next period.
Why this kind of error happens? An elaborate explanation will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Prithwiraj.

While executing CK11n, please ensure that, start date as today's date. You will not find any error in CK24 if the CK11n start date is current date.
Please make sure that, you are in current period.
Please award if my answer works fine.

Cost Estimate for the previous period

Hi,
For a material we have a inconsistency between Material Master and Info record in base unit of measure.
in the material master: 1 piece = 1 mm
in the info record: 1 piece = 1 m
During the month of December, user posted a goods receipt posting of this material: 625 m with an s-price-value of u20AC 668.750
For the stock valuation in year-end closing he says he need a right s-price calculation of the material in 2010.
If not, he will post a depreciation of more than u20AC 600.000 for this material.
Can we save a new calculation for Dezember 2010, if not what is the alternative? Can we suggest MR21?
Thanks to share your thoughts.
Kind Regards
Umapathi G

Hi Umapathi
MR21 is your only option... You cant release new price in Dec 2010
however, what I dint understand is this a purchased material or produced material?
If it is a produced material, then reverse your GR, make corrections and post it again.. Else, you would have good amount of variances

I would like to insert new cost center for the existing layout in BCS

Hi,
I would like to add cost center to existing layout.
Currently we are loading data into BCS using flat file .
In BCS we have current layout existed with below format.
Header
Controlling area
Fiscal year
Posting period
Data Rows
Company
Item
Profit Center
Functional area
Trading partner
Period Value LC
Period Value GC
Even we are getting flat file from R/3 as above format.
Now our Business required cost center in BCS as their requirment and need to be bring from R/3 to BCS.
In R/3 our ABAP people are working to bring the cost center from R/3 and made a flat file for us.
In BCS we need to load the file which has new cost center,which was comming as per the new requirment.
Please advise me how to add cost center in Data Rows of BCS.So that it can accomidate new cost center which is comming from R/3.
Please some advise me on this and answer would be appreated.

Prasad,
I knew how to add char to cube in BW.But i am not sure about BCS .
- What's the difference in assigning the infoobject (CostCenter) to the infocube, doesn't matter if it's the basic (ordinary) or the BCS totals cube?
I will follow as you said.
- Taking the BW310 or SEM240 is very useful.
Once it is done then what are the next steps need to do it.
- What's done? What's the question?
I am assigning points to you
- I do not need the points assigned for nobody knows what. Feel free to unassign them.

In iTunes, why does music which has been ripped from a best-of CD continue to show the year of the CD release even after I change the year to the year of the song release in playlists?

I often rip music from CDs of artists that released songs in the '60s and '70s. When I rip the music, in iTunes it shows the year of the CD release, usually something in the '90s or 2000s. I change the year in 'Get Info' to the correct year, and it changes it fine. However, after a while, it will show the old year again, the year of the CD. This is a problem because I like to arrange playlists based on song years, and this messes with that.
Tell me: is there a way to permanently fix the reverting year problem? Also, when I spot a song that this has happened to, when I click on 'Get Info', the correct ear is still in there, and when I hit 'OK' it changes back. This is really frustrating...

In some cases the original iTunes Store metadata seems to be given preference over personal changes. If you are seeing this then
Go to Edit > Preferences > Store and turn off
Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases
Share details about your library with Apple
On any iOS device go to Settings > Music and turn off
Show All Music
Close and reopen iTunes and/or reset the device and you should see your version of the metadata for each track rather than the original store data. If not it should reset as you play through content, or you can use my script UpdateTagInfo to force iTunes to read the current data from the tags.

Mark and release a new cost estimate in a different system than the one run

Hello all,
Here is my functionnal lanscape: in system A, I am managing all the stocks hence material master data.
In system B, I am managing production, financials and Controlling.
Hence, once I edit a costing run to have a new standard price in system B, how can I mark and release this new standard price for my material that is maintained in system A. Do you know any standard idoc for this purpose ?
Also, how will happen the stock revaluation.

Dear CISCO - LINKSYS R&D Team,
Could you tell us when will you release the improved firmware for E4200 ver.1 ?
For some examples:
1) WAN-to-LAN throughput improvment (now is less than 50% efficient if using 100Mbps WAN connection at "03" version firmware. I switch back to "01" version to avoid it)
2) Unstable of VPN connect for the WAN L2TP and PPTP protocols
Besides, not really understand why CISCO-LINKSYS does not fix E4200 ver 1 problem and then release E4200 Ver2.......
Seems she does not take her responsibility on her products.........

Raw material cost estimates

HI experts,
Currently we have the following scenario:
There are some raw materials which are procured externally, and these materials are maintained with price control S
Well, the problem is that the standard cost for the material consists of a few more components, for example:
The standard price for the material X is 20 USD which consists of:
- the price of the material itself : 15 USD
- the import duty : 5 USD
let's say if the actual import duty happened during IR is 6 USD, how can we get the variance from the difference between the import duty? I am unfamiliar with raw material cost estimate, but seeing that the import duty will be captured using condition type in PO, i assumed that we can use raw material cost estimates with this, and use the COPA report with record type B for this case.
Could anyone give any suggestions regarding this case? It is better if it comes with step to step guide.
Thank you very much in advance
Regards,
Erwin

Hi Erwin
1. The ideal design would have been Price Control V if the material is outright purchased... There by not leaving any scope for variances... You would agree that it is best to valuate inventory @ actuals as far as possible
2. If you want to retain S, then release your Std cost as many times as the Base Price of 15 or Import duty of 5 usd changes... This will also avoid variances during MIGO.. However, it will throw up inventory revaluation figure each time u release new cost estimate
Else, the variances will be updated to CO or COPA as per your choice in OKB9.... The record type will be B
Are you not able to update variance to COPA?

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.
