Target quantity calculation in Production order.

Hi Freinds,
Target quantity of the components to be issued is calculated from the ratio from BOM of header material.
If there is component scrap for the components mentioned in BOM then the Target quantity calcultion also considers this and increases the quantity by the Scrap percentage mentioned.
Target quantity gets updated at the time of goods issue during confirmation
Problem is only for orders of one material, the target quantity calculated of components is not considering scrap inspite of maintaining the scrap for components in BOM.
Can anybody help in this matter, what could be the missing setting ?
Thanks in Advance
Shailesh

Hi Shailesh,
Please check whether the BOM where u maintained the scrap is being copied to the order. To my knowledge there is no other settings required to consider component scrap.
I think the BOM which is copied to the order might be of different alternative BOM where you have not maintained the scrap for that particular component.
Please check and revert.
Regards

Target cost calculation in Process Order based on Variance Calculation

Hi all,
I have a question on Target cost calculation in Process Order. My understanding is, the Target Costs gets calculated when the confirmation and GR is made for the Process Order.
But if the confirmation/GR is not done, whether the target costs gets calculated for only the activity types after the Variance Calculation (KKS2).
I have two scenarios. In one, the target costs got calculated for the activity types without the confirmation/GR after the Variance calculation.
In another scenario, the target costs are not getting calculated for the activity types without the confirmation/GR if I try to do the variance calculation in KKS2.
SO i want to know which scenario is correct?
Can anyone answer this question?
Thanks and Regards,
Brijesh

Hi,
In general, the target costs are calculated once you deliver the order.
Target costs for the components and the activities are updated only once you deliver the order and the target cost for the finished product gets updated when you do the variance calculation.
Consider your scenario number 1 - you said the target costs got calculated for activity types without confirmation / GR after variance calculation.
Now, if the order is not having any status like PDLV, DLV or TECO it will not calculate the variances in the first place.
Your second scenario is correct - without GR the system does not calculate any target costs. Also it will not calculate any variances because the order status is still not DLV.

Target cost for a Production order

Hi
How to get Target Cost for a production order?
Thanks
Naga

Well Naga, Right now Im on HR implementation , but I programmed same kind of requirement two years before , but I got planned cost and actual cost .
I also notice cost analysis" the cost is not exact , it wont read the value from KP26 of that particular month .
Here I am talking about 4.5b system.
You can find the sales order ref on production order, and your production order is made up of your different kind of material like scarp, raw, semi-finished etc
Here are the steps I followed .
1- I read the material which you can see in material component on production order in Co03.
After that I take the qty and also multiply by the cost at which machine is posted .
I have that programs, as I need to find out . Ill post you later .
But you have to read the tables afko,afpo,afru,caufv,cost ..etc
Do you see information structure I refer you , If i am not wrong this CO3 ( cost analysis ) report use report painter ( Tr.Gr51,Gr52 ) . you can also see by going in to said transaction which information structure its populating . Thisll also help you.
Hope thisll give you idea!!
<b>P.S award the points.!!! DOn`t forget :)!!!!</b>
Good luck
Thanks

GR quantity check against Production Order in MB31

Hi Experts,
How to check GR quantity against Production Order (101) can not be greater than Confirmation quantity for the Production Order in MB31.
Regards,
Praful Mankar

Hi Praful,
Use user exit MBCF0002, here put condation that check AFEU table (confirmation table) and allow
that quantity only to do GR
and it will triger at the time of MB31

Actual activity price calculation for production order

Hi
Can any one guide me in how many ways we can assign actual activity price calculation for production order?
I knew only one way by assigning PPP2 costing variant?
I have another doubt is: if we don't mention any material valuation indicator (moving average, standard) in valuation variant, how system will calculate material prices? is there any other way, to recognize the prices by system?
regards,
Ramesh B

Dear,
Costing variant PPP2 is linked to some valuation variant inn OPL1
System will check the valuation of material and activity according to this valuation variant
For material valuation there are many stg acceding to which system will take the price the raw material,
Valuation strategy for material component
Strategy sequence that determines the valuation of the materials used in the cost estimate.
Use
The materials are valuated using the price in the material master record or the values calculated in a material cost estimate.
Procedure
You can enter a single strategy, or you can enter multiple strategies in the form of a strategy sequence. If you enter multiple strategies, the priority of the strategy determines what price or what values are selected.
Examples
Assume that the following strategy sequence is entered for material valuation:
1. Planned price 1
2. Standard price
3. Moving average price
If the system finds a value in the Planned price 1 field (costing view), this value is taken as the value for valuating the material.
If the system does not find a value, the value in the Standard price field (accounting view) is used.
If the material does not have a standard price, the system uses the value from the Moving average price field.
if you have not mentioned, then system will give error that "valuation stg not found"
Valuation strategy for internal activities and processes-
Strategy sequence that determines how internal activities and processes are valuated in costing.
Use
The activities and business processes used are valuated with the prices from Cost Center Accounting or Activity-Based Costing to determine the production costs or process costs. The prices can either be calculated iteratively through price calculation, or entered manually by the user.
Procedure
You can enter either a single strategy or more than one strategy in the form of a strategy sequence. If you enter more than one strategy, the priority of the strategy determines which price is selected.
Examples
The following strategy sequence is entered:
1. Actual price of the previous period
2. Plan price of the previous period
3. The most current plan price
If the system finds a price for the activity type, this price is used for valuating the internal activities. If no price was calculated for the previous period, the plan price from the previous period is used to valuate the activity type.
If the system cannot find a plan price for the previous period, it looks for a future plan price, using the next price in the posting period to valuate the internal activities. For example, if plan prices have been entered for periods 2 and 3, and a plan price is calculated in period 1 for period 4, the system uses the price from period 3 in accordance with the valuation strategy Most up-to-date plan price.
Again if you have not mentioned, then system will give error that "valuation stg not found".
You can use any costing variant for actual (PPP2)and planned(PPP1) according to your requirement.. check in OPL1

GR quantity more than production order quantity triggering cost difference

Hi Gurus,
We have observed a scenario where the cost(price) dfference account getting hit whenever the GR quantity is greater than the production order total quantity. The dollars posted to this acount are directly propotional to the difference between the GR quantity and the production order quantity.
The total quantity specified in production order is 1 M2U and GR quantity is 1,000 M2U.Material price is $195.65.
Accounting Document;
Inventory account           - 195.65
Offset account                - 200.00
Cost difference account -    4.35
If we do GR for less than or same quantity as in the production order, this account is not getting triggered.
Any idea what is causing this scenario? I really appreciate if you can share with any SAP note related to this.
Thanks,
Mano.

Hello Gurus,
One more observation is,
The palnned costs and actual costs are always different when dealing huge quantities. But the cost difference account is only getting triggered if the actual quantity is more than the palnned quantity.
And,
when the difference between atual quantity and palnned quantity is huge then
Planned costs are booked to the inventory account
Actual costs are booked to the prodcution cost account.
Significant cost variance is booked to the cost variance account.
When the difference between actual quantity is less than/equal to planned quantity is not so huge then
Actual costs are booked to the inventory account
Actual costs are booked to the prodcution cost account.
Is this a standard behaviour?
Thanks,
Mano.

Variance calculation for production order with settlement receiver as SDI

Hi...
I have one query reference to Variance calculation for production order with settlement receiver as SDI(Sales document item).
I am working on Varaint configuration with strategy 25(Make-to-order for configurable material) with requirement class 046.
I have created sales order ref. to configurable material,subsequently created planned order & then converted to production order.
In production order settlement receiver is SDI(Sales document item).
While doing production confirmation ,variance has been created.
Now during variance calculation KKS2, I have got error message as no suitable settlement rule found for object Order no.
Is there any way to come out of this?Or variance calculation KKS2 is not applicable with settlement receiver as SDI(Sales document item).
Pl. guide

Hi
In case of non valuated material, concept of variance does not apply...
Variance is Actual Cost - Cost of Goods receipt posted in stock.. If the later value is zero, your entire actual cost is variance... That is one way of saying it
But, in SAP, var not calculated in case of non valuated material and that makes sense as well.. Since you are in MTO scenario, it would make sense to analyse costs vs revenues @ sale order level as each SO will be unique in itself

Quantity mismatching in production order

Hi PP experts,
The delivered quantity for a production order in CO03 is 53 while Goods receipt has been done for 59 materials. You can refer the below screen shots.

Hello
Please implement and run the report ZPCON_076D, from the following note, in order to correct such inconsistent orders:
1352231 - Correction: Goods receipt quantity and value in order
This repor sum the posted goods movement quantity and updates the delivered quantity on the order.

Transfer to PA the target costs of a production order

Hi everyone,
How can I transfer to PA the target costs of a production order?
Thanks
Cátia Pereira

Hi
1. Check your settings in KE4U - Strategy 001 must be assigned to PV=01 and Rec Type F
Tick the "Mat Cstng" indicator and assign COPA Qty Field ABSMG
2. Assign costing key to Mat Type in KE4J or KEPC
3. assign Cost Comp Str to VF in KE4R
4. Assign Value Fields to your variance categories in PA Transfer Structure....
Tick "Variances to Costing Bsed COPA" in your settlement profile

Activity is calculated on Production Order Quantity based .

Hi Experts,
My requirement is Planned Activity cost should be calculated based on Production order Quantity. and not on timing mentioned in Routing.
For Example- My PO Quantity is 10 - and activity assigned rate is 1 then = 10 RS is my planned activity Price
IF PO quantity is 1 then planned Activity Price is 1 RS
pour some light on this
Regards,
Girish

Hi
Create an Activity Type and assign in work center / Routing... Keep the Activty Qty same as Base Qty in Routing....
if you create Prod Order for 10, system would automatically propose Qty as 10.... Assign a fully variable formula in the work center to this activity
Then maintain a price for this n KP26

Avoid variance calculation on product order

Hi experts,
i have a question. We have a material with cost estimate with quantity structure, cost estimate is release. All cost components in cost component structure are in inventory valuation. On the product order are then target costs. When material is producing, one component of BOM (cost element XXX) is not consumption on product order. When i start variance calculation, SAP calculate variance to this one component (cost element XXX) and by settlemnet of order, posting variance to FI. But this thing i don´t want. It is possible prohibit calculation of variance for this component of BOM - cost element XXX on product order? It is possible prohibit settlement this variance to FI? What i can do for it?
Thanks a lot,
Gustavo

Hi,
i must settlement product order, so i need variance calculation. So can i settlement variances to FI only for some components of BOM and one variances of one component leave on procuct order? Or can i settlement variances of one component of BOM to other cost centrum than others components (alternatively under other cost elements)? Maybe substition.... If yes, how?
Thanks a lot,
Gustavo

What is target qty in process /production orders?

Hi Experts,
I am doing a report that needs to display the quantity and costs (target / planned / actual) of each component in the process /production orders. Through tcode COR3 --> given a process order# --> Goto -- > Costs, I can see total target qty / total planned qty / total actual qty for each component. But I can only find planned qty and actual qty from tables COSS, COSP, RESB. Where to get target qty ?
Can anybody explain to me what is exactly the target qty? Any tables to get target qty? Or any FM to get target qty?
Thanks a lot.
Yu

Dear,
Definition: target costs
Product Cost Controlling (CO-PC)
The costs expected to be incurred when a specific quantity is produced.
In Cost Object Controlling, the target costs are calculated on the basis
    of the planned values of a service unit (such as the planned cost of a
    production order) and the control quantities (such as the yield
    delivered to stock).
Target costs can be used for purposes such as:
o   To determine variances
o   To valuate work in process
Total Target Costs
Total value of the target costs.
Calculated with the following formula:
Total target costs = Target cost debit + Target cost credit.
Use
Target costs are the planned costs adjusted to the actual operating
    rate.
The target debit on a manufacturing order is the sum of the
    activity-independent planned debit of the order and the
    activity-dependent planned debit of the order multiplied by the actual
    quantity of the order.
The target credit of a manufacturing order results from the goods
    receipt postings to stock. The delivered actual quantity is valuated
    with the planned price according to the price control.
The total value of the target costs is the sum of the target debit and
    the target credit.
The target costs are calculated during variance calculation and updated
    to the database.
The target costs cannot be shown until you have performed variance
    calculation for this target cost version. The target credit for the
    calculation of the total variances and production variances cannot be
    calculated until an actual quantity for an order exists after a goods
    receipt posting.
For the calculation of variances, the target costs are compared with the
    control costs.
Dependencies
The calculation of target costs depends on the selected target cost
    version.

Price/Quantity Variance in Production Order

Hi
How does Price and Quantity Variances are calculated for a Production Order?
Regards
Kailash

Hi Kailash,
The variances relating to Input Price and Input Quantity are calculated on following basis...
Input price variances
Input price variances are caused by differences between the planned and actual prices of the materials and activities used.
The system can only calculate input price variances if quantities were specified in addition to the planned and actual costs. The following conditions must be met for this:
You need t turn on the Material origin indicator in the costing view of the master record of all materials that have a large influence on your costs. Uniform units of measure must be assigned to all input materials. That is, material costs can only be totaled under a cost element when such costs are carried under the same unit of measure.
If you have defined primary input price variances in Customizing, the system will calculate input price variance percentages and update them with reference to the operation. When you start the variance calculation process at the end of the period, this data will be canceled and the input price variances calculated by multiplying the difference between the planned price and the actual price by the confirmed quantity. If the confirmed quantities are incomplete or do not exist, input price variance percentages will be shown.
Input quantity variances
Input quantity variances are caused by differences between the planned and actual consumption quantities of materials and activities. You need to turn on the Material origin indicator in the costing view of the master record of all materials that have a large influence on your costs.
As a whole, if you want to see input quantity variances and input price variances, you must make the following settings:
Turn on the Material origin indicator in the costing view of the material master record.
Turn on the Record quantity indicator in the cost element.
When it calculates the variances, the system does not check whether the Record quantity indicator is turned on. If quantities are not recorded, however, it is not possible to calculate quantity variances. If the Record quantity indicator is turned on, a warning message is issued if you do not enter a quantity in consumption postings.
Pls revert back for further explanation....

Variance calculation for production order

Hello,
I am clarifying what's the selection criteria for settled production orders so that we can carry out the following
close and deletion flag activities.
I am currently in release ECC605. Need to carify the below questions.
1. For production order without header material (dismantle production order), no need to do variance calculation before
settlement,right? Because I found system will respond green light but "no order was processed", this kind of production order
won't possess "VCAL variance calcaulted" system status.
2. For all production orders created with header material, vairance calculation is a must, even the variance is 0.
So the production orders will possess "VCAL" status after variance calculation transaction is done.
Thanks for your help in advance.
B. Regards,
Nancy

How does input variance and output varia.nce will be calculated on the settlement of production order after TECO.
VARIANCE CALCULATION DEPENDS ON CONFIGURATION IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS,
1) VARIANCE VARIANT - DETERMINES WHAT VAREIANCE CATEGORIES ARE CALCULATED, E.G MATERIAL PRICE , USAGE, LABOUR RATE , USAGE VARIANCE ETC..
2) TARGET COST VERSIONS
3) VALUATION VARIANT FOR WIP AND SCRAP
Can we check in KOB3 or COOIS.
KOB3 - YES
COOIS - CHECK IN COST REPORT

Error during variance calculation for production order "NO cost estimate "

hi all,
I'm gettin this error message while trying to calculate the variance for a production order. error is "No cost estimate for material xxxx for 01.10.2008.
when i look at material xxx in MM02, under cost estimate for current period there is a value but nothing for previous period. So i'm guessing the the Cost estimate was not run of this material? am i correct here?
Now if i try to run cost estimate for material for the missing periods using CK11N, i get an error "cannot save for past period"
Could some one tell me how can i get a prior year estimate into the material master?
I tried CK40N and CKN1 but just cant get it to work...
Thanks heaps

Hi Tom
unfortunately there is no easy way to get a product cost estimate for a past date. One of the reasons for this would be inconsistant product valuation.
You could in theory create a cost estimate in a current date and use an ABAP or manually adjust the valid from and to dates directly in the tables (e.g. KEKO). To do this in a production environment would be restrictive off course.
The standard cost estimate is the basis for the target costs so as an alternative you could look to change the configuration of the target cost version in OKV6 to either of the following:
- Plan Cost/Preliminary Costing (that is the plan calc done on your production order)
- Alternative Material Cost Estimate (one that is not necessarily a product costing that is set for marking and release).
I hope this is of some help.
