Transaction code to post Target costs to a Repetitive order

Hi,
Could you please let me know the Transaction code to post Target costs to a Repetitive order or Product cost collector?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi,
Question 1. To check how the systems valuates the Order.While in CO03
1. Click the "control data" tab and take note of the costing variant under header Costing in the field CostingVariantPlan
2. Tcode OPL1 ( Costing variant manufacturing orders) Double click the same Variant you have on the Order.
3. Click on the Valuation variant
a. Material val. : gives the priority of prices used in valuation
b. ActvityTypes/Processes: gives the priority of prices used in valuating activities & business processes.
Question2. What determines wether Variance is calculated on the order is the status of the order and not the overlapping over months. Variance will on the order will only be calculated if the status is either DEL(Delivered) or TECO( Technically Completed) any other status will not trigger variance calculation even if it has a variance key.

Transaction code to post sales data

Hi,
What transaction is used to post data relating to business entities sales group and sales offices?
Thanks

Hi All,
I am working on getting data filled for fields VKGRP and VKBUR for table VBAK. At this time, we do not have data for these fields in the table VBAK. I am thinking that somehow our setup is not displaying these two fields on the screen for data entry when using this specific transaction code to post sales data.
I would want to check what transaction code that would be to see the screen and verify if the fields for the sales group and sales offices are available for this transaction code. if not then we would have to some how change the setup to include these 2 fields for the screen and start entering these values to fill the tbale VBAK.
What would you recommend to get these 2 fields filled with data for sales group and sales offices? There are other sales tables that we use to get this information, and I suppose once the screen has these fields for data entry, then the rest of the other tables will be filled with these values.
Hope this make sense.
Thanks

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

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.

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

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.

Post to Cost Centers on Production Order Backflush

I have a question.
Is it possible to post Goods Issue (Backflush) of components to a Cost Center when doing this via the Production Order Confirmation?
Normally, when the components of a Production Order are backflushed, instead of posting to a cost center, they post to the Production Order.
My intention is to use the Cost Center from the Work Center assigned to the Operation in question.
Is this possible?

dear Fernando,
the cost center which u r using for the work center to capture the operation cost only. Ur GI is taking automaticaly with ur confirmation, and goods are getting posted to order. finally the cost which is costing for that work center usage is also go order only.
if u dont want material cost to flow to order u tick all for all component materials as bulk material in MRP view and issue material aganist cost center in MB1A with mov. type 201 and do the confirmation, so GI will not take place to order.
i hope this will clear ur doubt

Transaction code: 9KE0 - Posting with Dummy profit center

Hi All,
We have an issue with transation 9KE0, While posting any adjustment entries with single line item, system automaticaly creating second line item few times. We were unable to find the reason why it is creating second line for few documents?
Our requirement is that those entries should have only one line item in transaction 9KE0. Most of the cases we were able to post the document with single line item.
We are using almost 100 co.codes for our client.
For ex: if we post one entry in co.code 1000 through transaction 9KE0 with single item, system posting with one lineitem.
But some times for the same co.code with same parameters if we post one line item, second line item automatically creating with dummy profit center while posting.
Please let us know why the system is creating two line items.
Awaiting for your replies.
Thanks in Advance
Prasad

Hi,
We have further analyzed this issue and found that, whenever the amount in field(KSL -Amount in profit center local currency) is ZERO, System it is creating second line item with dummy profit center.
ex:1
proft cenert        account         amount in co.code cur    amount in profit center local currency
9999                    100000             - 0.13                                 00
dummy                 100010               0.13                                 00
ex:2
proft cenert        account         amount in co.code cur    amount in profit center local currency
9999                    100000             - 3.13                                 1
we have verified the values in GLPCA table also... whenever the tech field KSL-Amount in profit center local currency is zero system creating two line items.
Please suggest us is there a solution to stop the second line item even the amount in profit center local currency field (Tech name -KSL) is Zero
Awaiting for your suggestions.
Thanks in advance

Transaction code for change in cost of BOM component

Hi Gurus,
If BOM or any source materials has been updated in the system, the header material need to be re-costed. Is there any existing T-code to get the list of the materials , the changed might impact to.
Regards
Kaisar

Dear Kaisar,
There is no standard T code to meet this requirement wherein you get all the required details.
Only you have to identify and cost it using CK11N/CK40N.
If you are ECM - change numbers,you can identify the made changes by a customized report and then
you recost those materials alone.
Again its a very big customized development.
check and revert back.

Target cost is zero in KKF6N

Hi experts:
    I'm using REM. I've released the standard cost (CK40N), created the cost collector (KKF6N, preliminary cost estimate is automatically created). I checked cost estimator using variant "PREM", it's fine. Then I did backflush and GR. But still in cost collector (KKF6N), the target cost is still zero.
    I also tried to calculate variance. But still target cost is zero. But in this client, in some other plants, target cost has value.
    Not sure what I did wrong in master data, configration or transaction. Looking forward to your advce. Thanks.

hi!
thanks for your reply.
I have exeucted CO8b, then system is posting controlling document and profit center document ( no accounting document).
then I have executed KKS2, system is calculating target costs, but in process order cost analysis, the target cost is ZERO only, even for co products also.
while executing KKS2, I am getting error message for other co-products like "Only remaining var. in version 0 - no target costs for 000001000279 0003 (KV151)", as I am receiving only some co-products. I have changed the settlement rule in header of process order, but even then error message coming. any suggestion to avoid error message for other co-products, as we are not receiving them?
Is there way to get target costs in process order cost analysis also?

Target costs are not appearing in Production order

Dear friends,
I have created cost estimate for a material on 22.08.2010. I have posted so many back log entries from 1st aug to 22nd aug i.e creation of production orders and goods issues to the production orders and and goods receipts from the production orders. Now I am not able to see the target costs in the production order even after running the variance calculation. Plz help me how to get the target values in the production order.

Hi
1. Have you released the cost estimate from CK24 before GR from prod order? Check if field Current price in Costing 2 view is not Zero
2. If your contr area currency is different than comp code currency, then your costing variant should allow you to release the cost in contr area currency as well.. T code OKKN ("assignments" tab)
3. Check if target cost version 0 is defined properly and assigned to your contr area
4. check if variance key is there in your prod order.. you can assign default var key to plant in OKVW

Diff between Planned Cost - Target Cost

Hi all of you,
Could you please explain me the difference between Planned Cost and Target Cost. Why do we go for the settlement of Variance (Diff between Actual cost and Target Cost).
Please give me your valuable suggestions regarding.
Thanks & Regards
Ramki

HI,
Let us say, for the product X, my planned cost through standard cost estimate is 100 Rs. This has been found through executing the t code Ck40n or Ck11n.
One more assumption is, We have created production order with quanity 10. Did Goods receipt 10 nos.
Now ,,
Planned cost is = Std cost estimate cost x Qunaity=100 x 10= 1000
Target cost: This is being used for comparison purpose. You can have many versions of cost using target cost. let us say, I want to have target version price should be equal to priliminary cost estimate instead of std cost estimate. This can be achived through customizing in t code OKV6. And production order will pick up the target cost value as per the target cost version.
This target cost field in Prod. order gets updated once you run variance calculation.
Actual cost:
Standard cost * actual qty= 100*10=1000
Settlement:
While doing GR/GI to order, the cost is captured under the production order. if there is a difference between actual and plan, that should be posted to Price diffference account.That activiry is being done at the time of settlement.

Internal order posting vs cost center

HI,
I have a requirement like this; in our company we have allowed the posting to be made only through internal orders no
direct cost center postings are allowed. Is there any report to carry out a comparison between internal order posting and cost center postings? I just want to check the transaction which directly posted to cost center instead of internal order.
please help.
thanks
best regards
gayani

Hi,
Do you want to trace postings which were done only on cost centres without I/O? You can go to KSB1 and select the line where Auxiliary account assignment is blank - this will mean that these lines were posted only to cost centre.
Also, if your I/O are real one, you can select in KSB1 postigns with '4' value type, which will mean that the posting on cost centre is real and not statistical; therefore, no postings on I/O happened.

Eli

Mixed costing and Target Costs

Hi
I have the following problem.
We are using within Product Costing the Mixed Costing functionality.
One semi-finished product is produced in 2 plants, standard price calculated according to a certain mix.
Everything fine in product costing so far.
When creating a PP order however, the target costs details are not taken over but only as a full amount under semi-finished consumables. Planned costs are taken over in detail.
After completion of the PP order, actual costs are made on materials, labour, etc, where the target costs are fully seen as semi-finished consumables. Therefor the variance analysis between actuals and target costs shows many differences within the Resource Usage Variance, which is not meant.
Can anyone help ?
Kind Regards,
JeVe

Thanks for your posting Rau,
Yes we did CK11N and CK24.
I think the problem is with the mixed costing.
In the calculation we have two lines per procurement alternative (one per production version), target cost on semi-finished materials cost element. Below that, there is a standard calaculation available, but only the higher level is taken into account when a PP order is created.
Maybe somewhere in the cost estimation is the problem.
In my situation I would like the PP order be targeted at the weighed average cost of the 2 production versions, but on the detailed level. But SAP just shows me the target of the 2 semi-finished products only.
The standard calculation look like
Product A 1000 euro
- 50% product line 1 550 euro
---cost beakdown:
materials 100 euro
labour 300 euro
etc. 150 euro
- 50% product line 2 450 euro
---cost beakdown:
materials 100 euro
labour 250 euro
etc. 100 euro
Target costs on the PP order are one cost element : semi-finished consumables for 1000 euros.
I would like to see target costs on the PP order :
materials 200
labour 550
other 250
Kind regards
JeVe

Target Costs not Displaying in Production Order Cost Analysis

Hi Guys,
I am not able to see the target costs in a production order. It is showing the actual costs properly. I don't know how to validate the numbers and where am I missing. Please help.
Thanks and Regards
Madhu Vutukuri

Target costs are populated when you do the goods receipt. System will search for the released standard cost estimate and then apply that for each material component. If these 2 conditions are passed, then you will get target cost in order,
You need to define the following,
1. Variance Key - Transaction "OKV1"
2. Assign that to Plant using "OKVW"
3. Define Variance Variant using "OKVG"
4. Define Valuation variant for WIP/Scrap calculation using "SPRO"
5. Define target cost version by assiging sl no 3 & 4 and also how the cost calculation should be used.
Once this activities are completed, execute production/process order and then after goods movement and some confirmations process Variance using "KKS2" as a period end activities.
