Unit Cost Calculation

Hi Folks,
We have a unit cost spreadsheet that was built in openoffice. I'd like to convert it to numbers and clean it up to be "numbers style" (i.e. not one gigantic table with a bunch of different sections). I'm having some trouble organizing this though. Here is what we have right now:
Row a contains things like the names of raw materials, types of packaging, & labor.
The first couple of column contain calculations on these like cost per KG of raw materials, cost per unit for packaging, etc).
The following columns contain each product. So each product has a column where you can enter in how much of each raw material, packaging, & labor are required to make it. The next column displays the cost for all of these things. At the bottom of this column is a summation of the total cost for this product. Then there is another spreadsheet that pulls these numbers to calculate margins and things of that nature.
I can accomplish all of this in numbers, separating all of the functional sections into different tables, but the problem is this: Say I go to add a new raw material or a new type of packaging, when I add a row, the rows in all the other tables become "off" by a row. That is, if I add a new raw material, then the table that has the product formulas no longer reflects the right amounts of each raw material because it's been thrown off by that row. Am I approaching this wrong, or is there some way to make numbers keep track of row/column additions & deletions across tables that reference each other? Thanks.

Hi Jerry,
Thanks for the tip. I actually needed to clean the spreadsheet up and put bogus values in to comply with company policy. Anyhow, here is a sample of the spreadsheet
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7499586/junk.png
Just imagine about 100 products and several hundred raw materials, a dozen types of labor and about 30 types of packaging. It's a monster spreadsheet.
The "units" under each product is the number of units per batch. You can see each product has two columns. One where you put in how much of a raw material, package type, and labor type go into each batch, the next calculates the cost for each item. Then it gets summed at the top for the total unit cost for that product.
Let me know if you have any other questions about it. Thanks so much for your help!

  • Bom Component qty & WIP Quantity differ at Trget cost calculation

    Dear gurus,
    i am facing the problem with WIP at target cost calculation in REM.
    My issue is
    BOM Component qantity is 9.524 TO  and price is 2000 then total cost is  9.521*2000=19048.
    but in WIP Report kkas in WIP explation it takes input qty 9.52 T0 and price 2000 then total price is 19040.
    Difference is 19048 - 19040 =8
    and also when i am issuing actual qty i.e 9.524 in BOM then my price is 19048.00 ant at time of variance calculaton then quantaty variance as   9.52.0-9.524.0=-0.04  then 0.004*2000 =-8 
    Please suggest solution for this.
    Any OSSS NOTE Required
    any Quires please revert back

    Hi
    Rounding differences between target and actual values and quantities are not unlikely to occur and cannot always be avoided but can be minimized.
    Small prices and price unit of 1 are likely to cause more of these rounding differences..
    The actual credit is simply calculated as price * quantity. The target credit however is calculated during the variance calculation
    and based on the sum of all items in the itemization/cost components of the cost estimate and therefore more accurate.
    To avoid this I suggest to store the material price with a larger price unit, i.e. 1000
    Std cost release stores price upto 2 decimals and target cost calculation goes upto 3 decimals...
    Please check also the note 1265918 for more information to this topic.

  • How to get unit cost for finished goods in prod order

    HI all,
    IN a production order of type PP04, there is cost analysis you can get from CO03.  This shows the cost for finished goods and BOM components.  Would anyone know how the cost for finished goods are calculated ?  The issue i have is that the unit cost of the finished goods is not correct.  It is higher than what it should be.  I looked at the moving avg price at material master but the cost used in calculation is different than in material master.   Can anyone shed light how finished goods are calculated and why it is picking up a higher unit cost ?  Where is the higher cost coming from  for finished goods material as shown in CO03 ?  The BOM materials are picking unit cost correctly.  Would this have anything to do with cost settlement ?
    thank you.
    joyce

    Hi,
    Finished goods price will depend on BOM componenet price,  activity price and overhead price. Check whether this prices are picking correctly or not.

  • Spreadsheet structure - complex cost calculation

    I am trying to set up a semi-automatic spreadsheet that will help me prepare quotes for building work.
    I would appreciate any advice on the best set up that would for this and possible functions I would need to use to make it work. I tried finding a suitable solution or a template but to no avail.
    I'll try to explain the requirements as clearly as I can, but please let me know if there is any further explanation you may require.
    1. I have many tables that I set up to calculate costs and prices of particular types of work, i.e. building a brick wall or laying foundations
    1.1 Each table has the same columns such as'type of resource', 'quantity', 'price per unit', 'cost', 'profit', 'price'
    1.2 Each table has a different number of rows, depending on number of resources required for the particular type of work, some of the tables have multiple header rows to allow for data entry cells, such as 'length' or 'height'
    1.3 I keep the tables in a separate file and just copy the ones I need for particular quote, one type of table may be used several times in a quote, depending on type of job quoted, i.e. I may have more than one wall to price
    2. The main sheet of the quote has a table that lists all the items of work I need to price
    2.1 The columns are: 'item id' (unique number), 'item description' and 'tender price'
    2.2 'tender price' is manually linked to 'total price' in the relevant calculation table (I gathered here that perhaps using INDIRECT function will allow the link to be automatic, correct?)
    2.3 Right now I use 'item id' as the name of the relevant table to be able to recognise which item it calculates
    3.0 I need a summary sheet with few tables that will give me various information. The information required is:
    - materials list and quantities collected from all the calculation tables
    - labour list as above
    - labour and materials per build stage (I need to add stages to the tables first)
    I'm not sure this can work with me using separate tables for each item calculation. I think that if I put all the calculations into one, big table I may be able to pull info out by using categories, however I would like to avoid this as I would end up with very large, messy tables on larger quotes.
    I have used excel and a combination of outline and pivot tables in the past, but it was by no means a perfect solution.
    I hope my explanation is clear and I do appreciate your help.
    Regards
    Bart

    Bart,
    I think I have what you were looking for. I only addressed what I thought was your concern.
    1. I added a table to your "general calculators" sheet, and called it "Data"
    2. I utilized the VLOOKUP and the INDIRECT functions to make your Totals more dynamic.
    3. The formula is going to look to the table referenced in the "A" column of the line. (A3 = 1.1)
    4. The formula will then look at the column heading and find the number in the "Data" table I added.
    5. The lookup will then go over this many columns to find the value of the "Total" line.
    You should be able to copy this formula to all the cells you are looking for the total of. As an example, copy cell C3 to C12. Then range fill to F22. Delete the formulas in C16 and D16 as they will error, because they are not necessary. Repeat the procedure for Job 3, etc.
    If you change the Job (Table) reference in column "A" this will automatically look to the correct table. If you need to add a column some day, Add the column to all the appropriate tables, then add the name and column number to "Data." It should then recalculate correctly.
    I have posted the spreadsheet here:
    https://www.iwork.com/r/?d=samplequoteRevised.numbers&a=p108776228
    If it you cant get to it, let me know....and we can try something else...since I dont have a mobileme account.
    Let me know if you have ANY questions.

  • Create unit cost reports in Hyperion Financial Reporting

    Hi,
    I have some doubts regarding the creation of "per unit" reports in Hyperion Financial Reporting. In the business model we have:
    - different cost and revenue groups (identified by accounts dimension)
    - different business channels (identified by business channel dimension)
    - units different for each business channel (identified by accounts dimension and by currency dimension)
    What would be the most efficient way to easily construct per unit reporting? Reporting should be able to show data as:
    (*in principle, the "$ per unit" column is the most important one. The other columns could be hidden without problem)
    (**the main challenge is to be able to easily reflect per unit values calculated with different units, depending on the business channel and potentially other dimensions)
    More precisely, the questions are:
    1. What should be the dimensions structure? Units in separate dimension? Or inside accounts dimension and differentiate with currency dimension?
    2. The calculation of per unit amounts should be done within the reporting or should it be precalculated value?
    2a. If within reporting - how to technically include this calculations? Show $ and units and then use the formula?
    2b. If precalculated - how to solve the problem that the TOTAL per unit values are not the sum of per unit values for each Business channel separately (as each Business channel has its per unit calculated only with the units of this Business channel)? (please take into account that Business channel may not be the only dimension that changes the units to be used in per unit calculation - we can also have different units for different cost centers etc.)
    3. How to show $ and units separately, as in the example, if, when limiting a row by Revenue, for example, is making the units value for this row 0? How to overcome this?
    Many thanks in advance for your help and best regards,
    Pawel

    I came up with one concept of how to deal with this problem - let me know what you think. The idea is pictured in the image below:
    The answers to the 3 questions using this solution would be:
    1. What should be the dimensions structure? Units in separate dimension? Or inside accounts dimension and differentiate with currency dimension?
    Units would be a separate account in the "accounts" dimension. But also, units could be differentiated by the "currency" dimension.
    2. The calculation of per unit amounts should be done within the reporting or should it be precalculated value?
    2a. If within reporting - how to technically include this calculations? Show $ and units and then use the formula?
    Withing the reporting, as I have no solution to precalculate per unit values using so many different groups of units - if we want to have different per unit per each business channel or cost center etc. I understand we would need that many different precalculated "per unit" values, which would be a lot...
    Regarding 2a, a simple formula would do (box C). However, for rows with auto totals, the formula would need to have priority over the autototals (box D) - how is that done? Is it possible and easy?
    3. How to show $ and units separately, as in the example, if, when limiting a row by Revenue, for example, is making the units value for this row 0? How to overcome this?
    As we can differenciate units using both accounts and currency dimension, with the accounts placed in rows, the elements selected would always include the units (box A). Then, in the columns, using "currency" you would choose whether to show the cost and revenue accounts ($) or units (box B). Like this you would not get 0 in units, neither you would distort $ amounts.
    What is your opinion? Best regards!

  • Unit costing for materials assigned to activity - for material cost plannin

    The requirement is that material cost to the company will vary depending upon the project/customer. Eg.: Material cost = basic material cost + a % for P&F + 2 % for Clearance + a % for excise + 2 % for insurance + a % for Customs
    It can be a % or a lump-sum value. It can be all the components listed or part of them. This will be project specific.
    Hence the following preference for material cost planning is required:
    1. Material cost based on quotation or Purchase order - If quote/PO is not available, then
    2.Material cost based on unit costing done for the material in the project - If this is not available, then
    3. material cost from material master depending on price indicator i.e. Std cost or Moving average price
    We are working with valuated project stock.
    SAP Help says"
    "Prices are calculated in one of the following ways:
    u2022     Using the strategy in the valuation variant
    u2022     Manually, using the invoicing plan
    u2022     Using unit costing"
    But how to get the cost as per the priority required when these three options are there is not clear.
    I have tried to work with valuation variant in the costing variant assigned to Network. No valuation strategy explicitly refers to unit costing of material.
    During various testings, at times, unit costing of material gets updated as planned cost; at times not. What triggers in also not clear.
    Pl. clarify
    Thanks and regards
    A.Saravanan

    Hi All
    I have psoted to service market place and got the reply; we have implemented also.
    there were 2 suggestiosn:
    1. Valuation price with user exit - (EXIT_SAPLCK21_002) - This user exit has to be implemented; we have implemented - it is working. But this is taking effect when overhead calculation is done - this we rae managing that way now
    2. Alternatively you can try to use BAdI VALUATION_CK.: This BADI is not editable by us now; SAP has not released for our editing!
    The problem is solved although
    There is one more clarification  required:
    As SAP Help documentation: -> Unit costing is used instead of strategy sequence, but not in between steps of strategy.
    How to get this done ? right now we are using the strategy - inbetween steps of strategy with user exit
    Thanks and regards

  • Shipment cost calculation based on HU's allowed packaging weight

    Hi all,
    I need to calculate a shipment cost based on the Means of Transport's Allowed Packaging Weight (MARA-ERGEW). After condition record determination of cost per ton in each case, the system must multiply this value times the allowed packaging weight.
    I know that through customizing I can create a Condition Type with Calculation Base = 'C' (Handling Unit) and Calculation Type = 'D' or 'E' (Gross or Net Weight). This is almost what I need except for the Calculation Type, because Allowed Packaging Weight is not an option in the field's matchcode (Percentage, Fixed Amount, Quantity, Gross Weight, Net Weight, Volume, etc...).
    Is there any way through customizing I can achieve this? Or how can I program a routine in the Pricing Procedure for the Condition Type in order to make the calculation based on the HU's Allowed Packaging Weight.
    I appreciate your help!!

    Freight carriers charges weight on the basis of Weight / volume of the items.SAP shipment works on the same principle.
    Cost of transporting ton of Potataoes  is same as transporting 10 ton of aluminium between two known destinations.
    Hence it is illogical to distributes cost on the basis of item value. However if still you want to distribute the same on value basis then maintain freight condition(%) in PO as per your prefined logic of distribution of freight cost.
    It is well known fact that cost of freight % is always higher in  Low value items & iis low in case of High value items.

  • Detailed Report on Unit Cost Planning.

    Hi friends,
    I am doing Unit Costing in my Project in Version 1.
    Is there any standard report where I can get a display of all the Materials & services or (say) any Misc cost obtained thru Arithmatic Operation in the Unit Costing?
    That is to say the detailed report of whatever is done in the Unit Cost Planning.
    I am only getting the report of Planned Cost on Overall Basis.
    Secondly, in Unit Costing if I do any arithmatic Operation on the total value or on a particular row, then the value obtained from the arithmatic operation is not getting displayed in the cost Planning report.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Abhra Bose.

    Hi Abhra,
    UC Method is only to plan the project cost estimates. There is no such standard report to get the detailed plan report in terms of material, resources and Miscellaneous (tru Arithmatic calculations) except cost element report ( that to interms of cost only). 
    As you said, you can only get the Overall Planned total in Hierarchical report (i.e like S_ALR_87013532 - Plan/Actual/Variance ) including arithmatic calculations. but If you check in Cost element report ( i.e like S_ALR_87013542 - Actual/Commitment/Total/Plan in CO Area Currency ) you can get all planned cost that is planned against specific cost element, since it is a cost elements based report only.) If you want the planned cost tru arithmatic calculations also, you need to specify a cost element against that line item either in BPO or at WBS level.
    Hope this will help you some extent.
    Appreciated for giving points.

  • Updating Unit Cost by using Actual Cost Adjustments

    Hi,
    How can we adjust Unit Cost by using Actual Cost Adjustments Window?
    By giving Cost Adjustment without giving Adjustment Qty, the amount was adjusted to total quantity (transacted during the period). But I want to increase unit cost by a fixed amount. Is there any option?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Ram

    Hi Ram,
    there are some patches released by oracle 5-6 months back(5003789 and 4735489) having this feature.
    There is also a meatalink note is available,expalins this cost adjustment type called Unit Cost Adjustment.This is the way it works.....
    The Actual Cost process now supports this new adjustment type where you adjust
    the actual unit cost of the item with the specified cost. The Actual Cost process
    calculates the cost of the item per the current logic and then applies this unit cost
    adjustment to calculate the new adjusted cost. This adjusted cost becomes the new actual cost of the item.First the New Unit Cost (without the Unit Cost Adjustment) is calculated.The Unit Cost Adjustment is included only after the Actual Cost is calculated based on the existing Adjustment types. Then, the New Unit Cost (with the Unit CostAdjustment) is calculated.
    Hope this helps...

  • Unit Costing in Material components

    Dear Experts,
    I have come across a requirement where dummy materials are to be used for cost planning. These materials wonu2019t be processed any further. The planned cost for these materials is project specific ie. Material A in Project 001 costs 1 $ while same material in Project 002 costs 5$.
    We are planning to use unit costing to cater this requirement. Unit costing works for Item category L.
    The planned cost from Unit costing for material is considered when we create u201Creservation + purchaser requisitionu201D for WBS element for the material.
    On Creating u201Creservationu201D for WBS element, the planned cost from Unit costing is ignored and the planned price is calculated as per the valuation strategy maintained in the Network costing variant (valaution variant). However it is intended that the cost for unit costing is to be considered for reservation for WBS.
    We are using std. costing variant PS04 for material costing.
    Is there something I am missing so that the planned cost for material from Unit costing is considered in case of reservation for WBS?
    Regards
    Sejo

    Phoenixcfa & Ahmed,
    Thanks for ur inputs.
    I had already thought of the option you have suggested. In the currect process, the "Res / Purc. req." is maintained as "Immediate" at network header level. So the activity also inherits the same reservation relevance & it cannot be changed from "immediate" to "Never".
    As suggested by Phoenixcfa it has some thing to do with split valuation. I could carry out the unit costing for a material with "res. for WBS" in IDES.
    Hope, I will figure why it doesnot work our Dev system, soon.
    Regards
    Sejo

  • Shiment Cost Calculation Rules

    Hi Gurus
    Can you please provide me details of configuring Shipment Cost Calculation Rules?
    Thank You

    Hi Brajesh,
    Is the following rules you are expecting?
    Determining the Calculation Basis  
    Use
    The origin of the data upon which a condition type is based during shipment costing determines the calculation basis. During shipment costing, the system determines the shipment cost items from the different calculation bases for the condition types of a pricing procedure. Shipment costing itself is carried out for each sub-item.
    Prerequisites
    You must maintain a suitable calculation base in the definition for the condition type in Customizing.
    If you select handling units as the calculation basis, you must also specify the packaging material type so that only the relevant handling units are used for shipment cost calculation.
    Features
    The calculation bases are determined during shipment costing for a shipment cost item on the basis of the settings made in the condition type.
    During pricing, the calculation base influences
    The condition types to be considered for each sub-item
    The information available for determination of the conditions
    All condition bases contain information from the shipment header or shipment stage, as well as from the shipment cost item. This information includes service agents, geographical information (point of departure and destination) and shipping type, for example.
    How the scale base types (gross weight, net weight and volume) are calculated
    The following types of calculation bases are possible:
    Deliveries
    If condition types with this calculation base exist in the pricing procedure, then the system creates a shipment cost sub-item for every relevant delivery.
    No information from the delivery items (such as materials) or the handling units is available.
    The scale base types (gross weight, net weight, volume) refer to the corresponding information from the delivery headers.
    Delivery items
    If condition types with this calculation base exist in the pricing procedure, then the system creates shipment cost sub-items for every relevant delivery item.
    Information from the delivery header and the relevant delivery item is available. There is no information from the handling units, however.
    The scale base types (gross weight, net weight, volume) refer to the corresponding information from the delivery items.
    Group of Handling Units
    If condition types with this calculation base exist in the pricing procedure, then the system creates shipment cost sub-items for the sum of all identical handling units with the relevant packaging material type (also specified in the condition type).
    There is no information from the deliveries or the delivery items available.
    The scale base types (gross weight, net weight, volume) refer to the corresponding cumulated information from the relevant handling units.
    Shipment cost item
    If condition types with this calculation base exist in the pricing procedure, then the system creates exactly one shipment cost sub-item.
    There is no information from the deliveries, the delivery items or the handling units.
    The scale base types (gross weight, net weight, volume) refer to the corresponding information from the relevant delivery headers.
    Per handling unit
    This calculation basis corresponds to the calculation basis handling units, with the only difference that each handling unit is calculated individually. This calculation base is necessary for shipping packages, for example.
    Handling unit including delivery item
    If condition types with this calculation basis exist in the pricing procedure, then the system creates a shipment cost sub-item for every packaged delivery item and handling unit (per combination of delivery item and handling unit). Shipment costs are therefore calculated with content depending on the handling unit.
    All of the information from the handling units and delivery items is available.
    The scale basis types (gross weight, net weight, volume) refer to the gross weight of a handling unit per delivery item.
    All
    You can use this calculation base if, for example, you want to define a discount that applies to both delivery-related and handling unit-related shipment prices. A condition type with this calculation base can be used for every shipment cost sub-item.
    Several calculation bases may be used within a shipment cost item. In performing a shipment comparison, for example, the calculation could be performed using two calculation bases. You could then compare the results. See also Shipment Comparisons.
    For system load and clarity reasons, we recommend selecting a calculation base that is only as detailed as absolutely necessary. For example, if only the total weight and the transportation leg are relevant, the calculation base for shipment cost items is sufficient. However, you can still distribute the costs in greater detail. The cost distribution is independent of the calculation base. For example, you can calculate shipment costs using the calculation basis for shipment cost items and distribute the costs at delivery item level. The system weights the costs and distributes them accordingly.
    When defining the condition tables in Customizing (Logistics Execution ® Transportation ® Shipment Costs ® Pricing ® Pricing Control ® Define price dependencies (condition tables), you should make sure that information is not available for every field - depending upon calculation base. If, for example, you select the field Incoterms for a condition table when condition types with the calculation basis Handling units exist in the pricing procedure, there can be no information on Incoterms for the corresponding sub-item. This means that no condition records will be found for this key. For further information on the role of the condition table in pricing, see  Condition Tables.
    Please let me know your thoughts.
    Thanks nand Regards,

  • Change unit cost AP Invoice line based from a Goods Receipt PO base entry

    Hi,
    Im using SAP B1 2007A PL 46 with B1DE 2.0
    SCENARIO:
    (1) I have a goods receipt PO that has a line for an item with a quantity but 0 unit cost.
    (2) At a later stage, via DI, I create a AP Invoice and set the line BaseType, BaseEntry and BaseLine to point to the goods receipt from step 1.
    REQUIREMENT:
    When creating the AP INV, I would like to change the unit cost for the line to something other than 0. I find however, that because I have based the AP INV Line a base document, I cannot override the line price for the line before calling the APINV.Add() method. After calling the APINV.Add() method, the APINV Line still has the price of 0 even though I set it, for example, to 100. (see example below)
                        docAPInv.Lines.BaseType = (int)BoAPARDocumentTypes.bodt_PurchaseDeliveryNote;
                        docAPInv.Lines.BaseEntry = GoodsReceiptPODocEntry;
                        docAPInv.Lines.BaseLine = 0;
                        docAPInv.Lines.Price = 100; //NEW PRICE            SEEMS TO HAVE NO EFFECT
                    int res = docAPInv.Add();
                    if (res < 0)

    Hello,
    If your system is installed as 2007 (no upgrade from 2004/2005)
