Target cost configuration

Dear All,
What are the configuration steps involved to derive the target cost in process order. What will be the implication if the target cost is not derived from the process order.
Regards
Vasantha

Hi Vasantha
Target costs are derived from the standard cost estimate only. You were mentioning earlier that the Activity cost is not appearing in the target cost.
Confirm whether they are appearing in the std. cost estimate.

Target Cost in the settled process order become zero after cost deletion

Dear all,
User has standard cost estimates created in Jan 2010 that valid until the end of 2010 for every material in the system. user created a process order in April 2010. Target cost of the order was created based on the standard cost estimate and recipes as well as order qty. The order was also confirmed and settled in April 2010 without problem.
However, after I deleted all old costing estimates before I did a costing run for all materials in May 2010, the old order was resettled and all Target cost is removed from the order. I guess system try to look at April costing estimate but it is not there since it was deleted before I created the new costing estimate in May. Therefore, all varainces are throwed into remaining variances since the target cost become zero.
Other than mark the settled order for deletion or keep all old costing estimates, I am just wondering is anyway in the configuration to prevent the system to recaculate the target cost again for the settlement so I can avoid the problem happens?
Thanks.

Hi,
Target costs are only calculated after goods movements have occured on the order, the Target Costs are then calculated during the Variance calculation.
Target costs will only be calculated after the first goods receipt has been posted to the order. Also you have to ensure that the information to calculate target costs exists on the system in particular in OKV6.
This estimation is based on the customizing for the Target cost version in transaction OKV6 as in turn will the "real" calculation of the Target costs via the variance calculation.
So in OKV6 the Target cost will be based on preliminary costing on the order, an alternative cost estimate or the current standard cost estimate. Importantly if the choosen option is not fulfilled e.g. no current standard cost estimate, the target costs will not be predicted or calculated.

Target cost for co-products which can be substitute

Hi,
Is there somebody who is working with co-products which can be different each time you consume raw material?
Here is the situation when we want to analyse variance Actual vs Preliminary cost.
We use Production Order with Co-Products.
When we create a Plan Order, the order costs and qty are calculated for the order header.
Actual costs and qty are charged to the order header as they are incurred.
PLAN:
Main co-product   900 PC
Co-Product A         50 PC
Co-Product B         50 PC
                           1,000 PC
Consumption:
Raw material         250 PC
ACTUAL:
Main co-product    800 PC
Co-Product A        100 PC
Co-Product B        100 PC
                           1,000 PC
Consumption:
Raw material         260 PC
An apportionment structure is used to apportion the costs and qty to the primary products and co-products.
PLAN
                                                          Raw Material
Main Co-Product   90% * 250 PC = 225   PC
Co-Product A          5% * 250 PC =   12.5 PC
Co-Product B          5% * 205 PC = 12.5 PC
                                                            250 PC
ACTUAL
                                                          Raw Material
Main Co-Product   80% * 260 PC =   208   PC
Co-Product A         10% * 260 PC =    26   PC
Co-Product B         10% * 260 PC =   26   PC
                                                            260 PC
Variance calculation and settlement are then performed at the level of the order item, not at the header level of the order.
Here is the target qty calculation made by the system.
Main Co-Product 250 PC * 800/900 * 80% = 177.78 PC
Co-Product A        250 PC * 100/ 50 * 10% =    50.00 PC
Co-Product B        250 PC * 100/ 50 * 10% =    50.00 PC
                                                                           277.78 PC of raw material
Since variance calculation is performed at the order item level, that means you can not substitute one Co-Product by another one.
In our business, we can substitute Co-Product by another one. In this example we planned to make a total of 1,000 PC finished products and we produced a total of 1,000 PC finished products. So the target quantity for the consumption of raw material should be 250 PC, not 277.78 PC as calculated by the system.
Any idea?

Hello Ajay,
I think i am missing some thing here. For Configurable product or VC materials there is no standard cost. Costing tab 2 standard cost is zero.
When a make to order sales order is created with this VC materials, based on system settings and quantities system picks up the correct BOM and routings. Through costing funtionality with in sales order , the sales order need to be costed and marked.
This sales order cost is used for valuation of material movements including 101 from corresponding productuon order and 601 for delivery.
As far as i know for VC material target cost has nothing to do with Standard cost, because there is no standard cost at all for the material.
Please clarifty
thanks

Engineer to Order Scenario-Target Costs and Stock Valuation

I have got a query pertaining to Engineer to Order Scenario. A production order has been created with WBS element as the account assignment .Its a valuated project stock scenario, with configurable material. As per SAP standard behaviour and my limited knowledge, the Goods Receipt for FERT/HALB happens according to either of the four strategies:
     Standard Price ( if there exists one)
     Customer Exit COPCP002
     Sales Order Cost Estimate
     Preliminary Order Cost Estimate for prod order
However ,I have come across a case where although a preliminary order cost estimate exists for the production order, the system is not able to determine target costs. As a result the entire variance is posted as remaining variance at the time doing a variance calculation on the production order. Moreover at the time of Goods Receipt for FERT material,the system passses an entry Price diff A/c -Debit to Cost of Production, instead of debiting Inventory and crediting cost of production(Price Control is S, no standard price exists for the material)
Thus my query is :
1) In case of Engineer to Order Valuated Stock Scenario where prod order is created with reference to WBS element, how is the standard price (or target costs for version 0) determined
2) Under what situation at the time of goods receipt ,will an entry " Price diff A/c Dr & cost of production-Credit will be posted, instead of Inventory A/c being debited?
Awaiting a reply
-Regards
Amit Kulkarni

Hi Amit
the easy answer first: The standard price is just taken out of the material segment without WBS assignment. That means if you maintain a standard price in the accounting view of the material master for the material number + plant that will be the fallback to be used. That will at least reuslt in a inventory posting, instead of pure price differences (against a price of zero)
Why your production order cost estimate could not be derived I cannot say. But he first startegy will be to search for the cost estimate to the WBS. Is there not something in the project system to perform a project costing and save it? in that case that will be searched and used for the order target cost and inventory posting.
best regards,
                  Udo

Total Target Costs not updated in Process Order

Hi All,
I have a scenario in a Process Order,
The Process order is Released, Goods Issued and GR done. But the when i go and check the Cost Analysis i did not see anything in the Total Target Costs and Total Target Qty coloumns agianst all the cost elements. It show as zero for all.
It looks very strange. There is variance in the component issues and GR as well. I simulated for the same material with a new Process order and found the vales get populated automatically on GI and GR's with variation against requirement quantity.
Could any one explain me why it is so ..? or is my understanding is wrong.....?
Thanks for your time and patience.
Regards,
Srinath V

Srinath Venkatr,
I think you are missing PP CO integration configuration during master data creation. There might be information massage to you during process order creation saying , 'Logs during Cost calculation", you are skipping the same and creating process order withought resolving the same.
Check whether you followed all the steps for product costing.
Material master,
BOM,
OPKP:-Controlling area-activate components and Controll indicators
:- Assignment of co codes
KS01: Cost center
KA01/KA06:- Primary/ Secondary Cost elements
KL01:-Activity Types
KP26:- Activity Price Planning
Then Work center/Resource- assign these cost center and activities with costing formulas.
Then Routing/Recepi-
After master data, demand management,MRP- process order. while creating process order check cost calculation errors.
Hopes that will clear your dought

Target Cost in Process Order not calculated

Production order Target cost Zero - Varience calculation error KV151

Hi Experts,
I am having an issue on KKS2 variance calculation, system throwing error KV151 Target cost is 'Zero'
All pre-requisites are ok including BOM, Rates, Routings etc..
Process:
Production order with FERT - valuated material,
All BOM components in production order are Non valuated stock items, Non-stock items
Note: Cost Estimat e is for Labor and Overhead only.
After production order confirmation CO11N, production order Cost analysis displays - Target value ("Zero") and actual value.
Due to above reason in KSS2 we are unable to calculate variance, system displayed error KV151.
I cannot settle the production order, guide if I am missing some thing in config. ?
I appreciate you quick response.
Thanks,
RK

Thanks for your reply Swapvik & Takashi, I have no issues on configuration side very thing looks good.
Cost estimate - Good
Variance key - Good
Production order - FERT (Valuated) - good
BOM components - UNBW, NLGS only - Good
Labor rates - good
Periods - good
Production order confirmation - Good
Actual cost - Good
My Issue is Target cost is zero on cost analysis in CO03 but if I can see target cost in KKBC_ORD report.
I am unable to calculate variance and settlement.
I appreciate your response.
Thanks,
Raj

Target cost zero in process orders

Target cost is zero in process orders...
I did investigation on the forum and folks have suggested could be standard cost is not released at the time of process order release...
I need help in setting that configuration...
regards

Check if you have released Std cost estimate. If No release it if Yes then check if the process order material is having any GR Qty. Becuase Target costs are planned costs for actual production.

TARGET COST ZERO

Hi
In the production order its not shown the target cost of the order therefore it shows high WIP value. Pls, advice why is that and is there any configuration on that.
Reg
K

All material cost run (Ck11n) has done propaly and GR and GI. But it is not showing the target cost in the production order.
According to this all the actual cost taken as the production variance of the product. So It indicate huge WIP value.
Pls advice how to get the traget cost value. Is there any other configuration change ????????
Thanx

Split valuation for Finished Goods - Target cost was not updated

Hi,
We are following split valuation for 'Finished goods'.
Valuation typte 1 is for 'manufacture' and
Valuation type 2 is for 'External procurement'
For production orders with this material, we are not getting target costs. It is showing zero.
We have done release of standard cost estimate before creation of production orders and goods receipt for these orders. But still it is not updating.
Pls guide me.
Regards
MadhuSekhar Gupta

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
At the time of variance calculation only the credit part of target cost will update and at the time of goods receipt debit part of the target cost will update.
Our client has done goods receipt but debit part of the target cost was not updated. and the order status is DLV.
I simulated the scenario in QAS by creating new finished goods materials (Industry-Construction) one is with split valuation and another is without split valuation, then the debit part of target cost was updated at the time of goods receipt and credit part was updated at the time of variance calculation for both the materials. So this problem was not arised because of split valuation.
Was this problem arising because of the material master data, because for one material it is updating and for another it is not for the same configuration?

Target costs rounded up, causing variances with actual

Have been searching IMG but can't find where the decimal/rounding is configured.
Anyone?

Hi
It is inbuilt in the program itself
Target cost is recalculated during variance calculation upto 3 decimals.... Where as released std cost is stored upto 3 decimals
Rounding diff are some thing which you cant avoid but minimize.. You can minimize by having price unit as, say, 1000 instead of 1... AND/OR use larger costing lot size AND/OR avoid using alternate UoMs as far as possible etc
Also, apply note 1228522 if not already in your system

Material costed, production order with no target cost

I've a case of production order and I don't where to find information to solve it.
I've a product A costed from March. Standard cost is correct.
I'm creating a production order now. The cost estimate is calculated during the delivery.
I've confirmed order by CO15. I've created a variance by deleting 2 items in bom of order. And confirm less than wanted on other component. But I don't think these variances are linked to my problem.
In CO02 and cost analysis : target cost of my product equals 0.
I've checked my prod cost variant and choices are : std price, L price from PIR, moving average price.
Thanks for your helps
Christophe

How can I see that ? I've checked that material cost has taken the bom during the cost explosion. Components are also costed.
I've noticed that target cost appears after variance calculation for product.

Report for production order with actual and target cost for each

Hi
Is there any report that gives me the list of all production orders in a month with its respective actual and target costs?
I can use COOIS to get a list of production orders, then double click on the prod order, then click on goto and then to cost analyis.. but can i avoid going through all this and get a report with the details i need?
thanks in advance

Thanks a lot for that.
I'm a little confused with the columns in the report.
Which columns should I keep for my requirement? -
Production Order
Total Target Cost
Total Actual Cost
Total Actual Qty
Total Target Qty
Thanks

GR Cost not updating as Target Cost for process orders

Dear SAPians,
We are facing an issue in Target Vs Actual cost reporting for process orders. We are creating a process order after cost estimate of that material and doing the confirmations for activity cost. After that, GR has been done for the finished goods of that process order. That GR entry is updating the Actuals values but not updating the Target cost. When I am checking the standard report KKBC_ORD, I am getting the following figures.
Cost Elemnt Text     |     Target Cost     |     Actual Cost     |     Target Vs Act
Inventory Chnge FG     |     0     |     1,472,205.60-     |     1,472,205.60-
Packing Matrl Cons.     |     1,148,142.37     |     1,252,752.68     |     104,610.31
Raw Material Cons.     |     60,463.91     |     50,688.29     |     224.38
Semi-Fin Matrl Cns.     |     181,934.68     |     367,959.56     |     186,024.88
Labour Cost Activity     |     39,735.36     |     39,862.80     |     127.44
Machine Cst Activty     |     41,611.75     |     43,153.01     |     1,541.26
That 'Inventory Change FG' entry is showing the GR posting updating actuals and not target cost. This is causing huge difference in target vs actual cost that will affect the profit and loss figures ultimately.
What am I missing here? What should I do to update the GR amount in Target cost as well.
Shirazi

Dear,
Target Cost on Production Order or Process Order is shown only when Variance is Calculated.
So please calculate the Variance, system will show the Total Target Cost.

Only remaining var. in version 0 - no target costs

Hi!
We are doing settlement for process orders, most of the process orders are created and goods receipts happened before standard cost estimation is released.
So during varaince calculation (KKS2/KKS1) we are getting error message: Only remaining var. in version 0 - no target costs
as we cannot cancel the goods receipts for process orders, we are doing settlements with remaining variance only.
The variance will directly go to CO-PA, as we have activated the same.
the example of one process order:
Total goods receipt is : 44175.58     co-product 1
                                   3757.38     co-product 2
total receipt              47932.96
Materials Issued(GI)     20025.98
Activity Cost          11985.3
_Total Cost     _     32011.28
the variance is:            13764.86             co-product 1 ( as per settlement rule 95%)
                                  2156.82              co-product 2 ( as per settlement rule 5%)
                                  15921.68
Once we have done the settlement there are 4 accounting documents posted for variance:
1.     Cost of production a/c DR 3757.38
                    TO Variance A/C Cr 3757.38 ( value flowing to COPA)
2.     Cost of production a/c DR 44175.58
                    TO Variance A/C Cr 44175.58 ( value flowing to COPA)
3.     Cost of production a/c CR 1600.56
                   TO Variance A/C Dr 1600.56 ( value is not flowing to COPA)
4.     Cost of production a/c CR 30410.72
                    TO Variance A/C Dr 30410.72 ( value is not flowing to COPA)
So the net effect of variance account posting in FI is OK.
But where as in CO-PA, variance is different, because only first two values ( total goods receipt value as variance amount) as above are passing to COPA.
Now how can we rectify the variance values in CO-PA?
We are using PA transfer structure A1 with the following assignments:
10     Input price variance
20     Mat Input quantity variance
30     Mat Resource-usage variance
40     Remaining input variance
50     Mixed-price variance
60     Output price variance
70     Lot size-/fixed-cost variance
80     Remaining variance
90     Scrap

Hi ramesh
You need to live with this as you cant reverse the GR
To check this henceforth, use badi Workorder_update and write abap code for the Method AT SAVE or AT RELEASE... Check if field MBEW-LPLPR is INITIAL
