To zoom into labour hours from standard cost estimate
Hi,
Is there a way to zoom into the labour hours used for a standard cost estimate?
I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but you can see the quantity of each of the activity types in the itemization view of the cost estimate (CK13N or CK84_99). If the quantity is not visible in your default display layout, you can added from the dropdown.
thanks,

What is the impact if we switch from standard costing to actual costing?
Hi all,
what is the impact if we switch from standard costing to actual costing?
what are the changes is needed in costing?
thanks.Hello,
Its an nice idea to switch from standard to actual costing. It would be advisable to make this switch over happen in a new period praferably with a new year. You would need to carry out the settings for material ledger / actual costing and for the accounting settings you may refer to sap note 908737.
Not much costing changes would be necessary to the existing configuration but you would need to activate material ledger and allign your Inventory accordingly. The settings for ML would be relatively simple but the main problem would be handling the inventory that you already have in stock. You would also need to have a proper closing procedure followed by next month's planning approach which would actualise the inventory at the end of the month and decide the methodology for next month's plan valuation. It should be kept in mind for configuring ML.
The closing sequence would be as under:
1. Complete all Cost Center and production order postings.
2. Complete all Cost center Assessment / Distribution
3. Calculate Actual rate
4. Revaluate production orders
5. Calculate WIP
6. Settle Production Order
7. Run Costing Run (CKMLCP)
Material ledger is capable of actualising activity costs and WIP as well and you should configure it according to your need.
You can follow the standard SAP documentations for configurations + Note 908737 for configuring ML.

Changing from Standard cost to FIFO
Hi Experts,
One of my client want to change from standard cost to FIFO.
Can you please specify what precautions should I take before proceeding this change ?(system wise/accounting )
(I am aware of back up procedures,please donot specify that procedures)
What are the things I should be aware of ?(system wise )
Thank you
bishalHi,
Issue all the stock. After that you can change the valuation method.
This is a good time to see if everything is alright with the system.
When all the stock has been issued the following should be true:
- Inventory Audit Report for all items and all warehouses should be 0 (zero)
- The balance of all the stock accounts should at this time be 0 (zero)
If this is not the case. Contact support.
I take it for granted that you will do this in a testenvironment before doing it on the productive database.
Hope it helps.

Problem with rounding in standard cost estimate.
Hi All,
Happy 4th of July!
I have a problem with the standard cost estimate where the system try to calculate overhead costs (from costing sheet) with a fix percentage (9.7%) to the value coming from material consumption costs element.
Let say I have $1.71 material consumption and the overhead rate of 9.7%
The real calculation should be (1.71*0.097) = $0.16587
But at CK11N screen, it shows only $0.16 (two decimal rounding)
Is there a way that I can bump the rounding to at least 3 decimal point to make it more accurate?
Very appreciate any input you guys can share. Thank you.
CharithaHi Chari ,
My experience says that you can use only 2 decimals ..
Moreover , please have a look into SAP Note : 639410 - CK11N, CK13N: Message CK869 due to rounding
differences.
There a some source code corrections also on rounding differences- check if it helps you also...

Excise Duty - Standard Cost Estimate
Hi Experts,
We have defined Excise duty as one of the cost component in the cost component structure. Can some one explain how this Excise duty is posted as planned values in the Standard Cost Estimate ( For material cost quantity from the BOM and price from Material Master is picked up according to the Valuation Variant - defined strategy - similarly for Excise Duty how the system captures the Value).
Please Help - thanks in advance.Hi
If your Plant is not in an Excise Free Zone - Then You should not add Excise Duty as a cost component because you will be getting credit for the same
If your Plant is in an Excise Free Zone - Then your MAP/Planned Price etc must be inclusive of Excise duty.... This is handled by marking the excise condition as Non Deductible
So, in short, there is no way to show it separate... For Case b, you can use CK74N to add Excise component as Additive cost

Standard cost estimate could not be found for the material
Dear All,
We have 4 manufacturing plants and 30 sale depots. We are maintaining price control (S) for FG and SFG in Manufacturing plants,price control (V) at depots for the same material code. we are getting an error message " standard cost estimate could not be found for the material" while doing billing at depot.
Please give me suggestion.
Your suggestion should be appreciate.
Thanks in advance............
AND
My client want to see profitability at manufacturing plant level and need break up for the COGM. So how can i get the values of depot sales.
please let me know how to do........Hai
Price control should be S for Depot also. You need to run standard cost estimate in DEPOT after entering additive cost under CK74N for frieght, excise duty etc. To transfer the standard cost from the source plant you need to make configuration in OMD9 defining the receiver and sender combination so that system can pick up the cost from source plant. This special produrement type needs to be asigned in the material masters of DEPOT under MRP 2 view.

Recursive Loop Error while doing standard cost estimate
SAP Gurus,
We are trying to do standard cost estimate on a material and we are getting error because it is going in recursive loop even though we have used "recursive allowed" indicator for item components in the BOM. The error message numbers are CK 730 and CK 740. We are using 4.6c. I have tried the same scenario in ECC 6.0 and still I get the same problem.
Below is my BOM structure:
Material 10890345 (has low-level code 012)
---> 10867220 (has low-level code 013) and has recursive allowed indicator
10867220
---> 10846733 (has low-level code 014) and has recursive allowed indicator
10846733
---> 10890345 (has low-level code 012) and has recursive allowed indicator
According to me, the BOM for material 10846733 is causing the problem.
For some weird reason while doing the costing run for material 10890345, it s not stopping and going in a loop.10890345 and 10846733 should ideally have the same low-level code as they are recursive.
Please help to provide some solutions at the earliest on how to avoid recursive loop during costing.
Regards,
SwapnilDear,
I have 2 things to shear with you.
The method we followed to solve the iteration is as below
1.Config change -
Valuation variant in the costing variant, we changed the sequence as below
material valuation
4 planned price 1
2 std price
3 Mov ave price
2. Material master change
made all the semi finished goods and finished goods
procurement type = E,
costing with qty structure,
Enter the planned price1
By doing this what happens is
when system first start the iteration, takes the planned price 1 and start iterating and next time in the second iteration it takes the calculated price from qty structure till it finds the difference between the value calculated is less than .001. Then it gives the result
Why lot size is important is, in our case in some levels the usage is very less compared to the first material header qty and system used to stop in between and not even reaching the last level as during the cycle it was reaching less .001 difference. may be in your case it may not be the case...just check
Please come back after trying this. this was the only last option i had to solve the issue in my client.
Another alternative is to have a different material for costing purpose to stop the iteration which i will not recommend as we need to do some calculation for each stage and input the cost of dummy material in each stage.
My client is happy with the result as the difference between manual calculation and system calculation is less then .1%...this is because SAP will not consider the difference beyond .001, but in excel you get as many as decimals you want. -
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.

Report showing labor and machine time based on standard cost estimate
Hi Friends,
Ours is an Manufacturing organisation & we have a requirement of report showing machine and labor time as per part wise & cost center wise. We need to run the report before saving standard cost estimate [CK11N] in order to see the part wise or cost center wise discrepancies in machine and labor time. If any one could help in creating such report in SAP it will be of great help.
Regards,
VarshaHi Varsha,
you can jump from CK11N to a own report by
Menu Function 'Costs -> User Exit Display'
Cost Report 1 / 2 / 3
The own report can be implemented via (SMOD) enhancement SAPLXCKA
The report will be handed over the currently displayed in the program interface.
some example coding is provided for the exit.
compare SAP Note No. 71146

Standard Cost Estimate Report Comparing Current vs Previous Year
Hi Everyone,
Is there a standard SAP report that would provide materials with previous and current year standard cost estimates as found within the Costing 2 view of the material master?
Thanks,
PeteHi,
You need to look into periodic reports. Here is the best one to provide the copmarision between two period -
S_ALR_87099932.
Go into the report & select the costing runs taken in two diffrent periods. You will get all the required results of prices for two periods/costing runs.

Raw materials on MAP with split valuation used in standard cost estimate
We have a few raw materials which are purchased from different vendors and of different brands. We have opened split valuations for these raw materials. These raw materials are later used in manufacture of different finished goods. We use MAP for raw materials and Std. for finished goods. What configuration and processing steps will be required to run standards cost estimate and what will be standard price for a finished good considering the following example:
Material X is finished good
Raw Material A with split valuation @ USD 5 (brand aplha) & USD 10 (brand beta)
Raw Material B without split valuation @ USD 1
It is expected that we used brand aplha 60% of the time and brand beta 40% of the time and production batch size is usually 100 Kg.
Please reply
Edited by: Chris SAP on Sep 29, 2011 7:56 AMhi chris
Hope you have configured the material A for split valuation. while calculating standard cost estimate for the material C. through ck11n, the system will pick up the header price from material master.
But here you are saying that you have chances of using the material A, 60% of brand alpha and 40% brand beta
Instead of using split valuation use mixed costing concept. create the material A with separate Ids and create two boms one with alpha and the other with beta.
create procurement alternative in CK91N and mixed ratio with Ck94 and release the mixed cost estimate
please go through this thread also

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,
BijayHi,
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,

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 .
regardsDo 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 -

Backflush with Prel cost estimate still considering standard cost estimate
Hi,
Trying to do back flush with Prel cost estimate . Flagged in REM profile " Post Activities " / Using Data from Preliminary Costing".
However, FG rate is considred as per standard cost estimate and not as per preliminary cost estimate.
Kindly advise whether any other specific setting is needed.
