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

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

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.

Mat Ledger, Per.Unit Price for materials showing wronglu in Group Valuation

Hi,
Periodic Unit Price of the materials for plant 1300 belongs to company code 1300 showing wrong value in Group Valuation.
Usually Periodic price for all valuations viz., Legal, Group and Profit center valuations should be same, why because we are using same cost component structure in order to arrive the actual cost for all the above three valuations.
Even though Group Valuation of Per. Unit Price is not matching with the Legal and profit center valuations Per. Unit Price. But both legal and profit center valuations are matching.
Please note that, actual cost component split for actual costing is not activated for plant 1300.
When analyzing this issue, it is observed that only the settlement value in between the Group, Profit center and legal valuation is differing for material ledger document.
But accounting document, PCA document, controlling documents are updating correctly.
Please help us how can i proceed to get the details of cost components, even actual cost component structure is not activiated for actual costing.
what are the possible reasons for differing values in Group valuations.
Regards,
S Vasu
Because of this reason system is calculating different values in group valuation (comparatively with legal and PCA valuations) at lower levels and flowing the same values to multilevel.

Weighted avg Unit Cost calculation for COGS

Hi friends,
Has any body done weighted avg unit cost calculation for inventory valuation and COGS calculation. In a way we need to mirror ECC material ledger functionality based on the APO data in side the planning tool.
Any ideas on the above!!!
Kind Regards,

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!

Unit cost of material from the PO for a specific time

Hi gurus,
is there a report that can give us what the unit cost of a material was during a given time frame. The cost we are looking at is the PO price. For example we would want to be able to see OK what was the cost of Part A from 03/01/09 to 03/31/2009 or on 3/1/2009.
Thanks
Anusha

hi,
For material group / vendor you get the purchasing values..
for that check: MC$4 : for vendor..
MC$< : for material group
But material price can;t be taken out directly, just because material master data is independent of vendor master data...and both together comes into picture when they are procured from the given vendor...

How to change price total for "Change Unit Cost Estimate Screen" for KKE1 Tcode ?

There is a requirement of bringing the Material Price in KKE1 while entering the Item Catogory M ( M for Material) from the Gross Price in the condition type (P001) that is entered in the Purchase order.Currently systems brings the material value from MAP(Moving average Price) in the Material Master data.
I have looked into the user exit 1) EXIT_SAPLKKEC_001 2) EXIT_SAPLKKEC_002 available in this T code KKE1.When I put break-point in these user-exit,it is not going in debugging mode while fetching the price value in Price total column for "Change Unit Cost Estimate" screen in KKE1.
How will change pricing condition for material in KKE1?
I want to change price condition for material as marked in red as shown in the screen-shot.
Where will write the code such that I will bring Price Total based on material number as shown in the image?

Hi Ram,
I think you can do the same in thei manner.

Unit Cost For a Invoice

Which table should i refer to fetch the unit cost for a item in a invoice apart from the itemcost table?

I tried revalidate() , but no change.
Here's the function I'm using to try to add the item...
private void NewLineItem()
javax.swing.JPanel jLine = new javax.swing.JPanel();
jLine.setLayout(new org.netbeans.lib.awtextra.AbsoluteLayout());
jItemCode.setHorizontalAlignment(javax.swing.JTextField.CENTER);
jLine.add(jItemCode, new org.netbeans.lib.awtextra.AbsoluteConstraints(0, 0, 110, -1));
jCourseDelivery.setHorizontalAlignment(javax.swing.JTextField.LEFT);
jLine.add(jCourseDelivery, new org.netbeans.lib.awtextra.AbsoluteConstraints(110, 0, 240, -1));
jItemQuantity.setHorizontalAlignment(javax.swing.JTextField.CENTER);
jLine.add(jItemQuantity, new org.netbeans.lib.awtextra.AbsoluteConstraints(350, 0, 110, -1));
jItemRate.setHorizontalAlignment(javax.swing.JTextField.CENTER);
jLine.add(jItemRate, new org.netbeans.lib.awtextra.AbsoluteConstraints(460, 0, 100, -1));
jItemAmount.setHorizontalAlignment(javax.swing.JTextField.CENTER);
jLine.add(jItemAmount, new org.netbeans.lib.awtextra.AbsoluteConstraints(560, 0, 100, -1));
jLineItemSection.add(jLine);
jLineItemSection.revalidate();
pack();
JLineItemSection is a JPanel inside my frame.
Any suggestions? I think the way I am using the AbsoluteContraints is screwed up, as I'm having a lot of trouble with the layouts in general. The form editor in NetBeans (at least, the version in 3.6) needs a LOT of work.

Lookin for Unit cost addon for Sap B One

Hi all,
I looking for some addon help me to make a quote using unit cost, because my company first need to know the cost of the finished work and after this produce it.

Production costs for material with price control V

Dear all,
Can anyone pls tell me, how will the costing occur for a material produced in-house and having price control 'V' ? I am not able to see the target costs.
Also kindly tell me the settings to be done in CO, like target cost version, valuation variant, costing variant, etc.
Thank you,
Shrenik

Rather than giving my own versions I have compiled here SAP inputs. Pl let me know if you require any clarifications:
Costing variant has the following components:
<b>Define Costing Types
Define Valuation Variants
Define Date Control
Define Quantity Structure Control
Define Transfer Strategy
Define Reference Variants</b>
<u>Costing type:</u>
In the costing type, you define the purpose of a material cost estimate by specifying, for example, which field in the material master record the costing results can be transferred to:
Update Cost Estimate
Standard price Standard cost estimate (01)
Tax-based price Inventory cost estimate
Commercial price Inventory cost estimate
Price other than std price Modified standard cost estimate or
current cost estimate
No update Any cost estimate
Define Valuation Variants:
Define Valuation Variants
Here you create a valuation variant containing the parameters required for valuation of a cost estimate.
You also specify which costing sheet should be used to calculate overhead.
Valuation Strategies
Material valuation
Here you define the sequence in which the system searches for prices from the accounting view or costing view of the material master record to valuate materials. You can also access prices from purchasing info records and condition types.
For material cost estimates, you also specify whether additive costs can be added to the selected price.
With configurable/configured material components and with procurement alternatives, the sequence defined here is ignored if the strategy "price from purchasing info record" was selected, in which case that strategy is always executed first. For more information, refer to the SAP Library in the component Product Cost Planning under Raw Material Costing or Mixed Costing.
Activity Types / Processes
Here you define the sequence in which the system searches for prices in activity type planning or actual activity price calculation in Cost Center Accounting or Activity-Based Costing to valuate the utilized activity types and business processes.
You also specify which plan/actual version is used.
Subcontracting
Here you define the sequence in which the system searches for prices in the purchasing info record. In purchasing, quota arrangements are used to create a mixed price for materials that are manufactured with external vendors with parts provided by the customer. You can specify whether the quota of the individual vendors that are entered in the source list for the material to be processed should be determined through the planned quota arrangement or the actual quota arrangement.
External processing
Here you define the sequence in which the system searches for prices in the purchasing info record or routing operation for valuation of the external activities.
Strategy Sequence
You define the individual valuation methods for the valuation variant as strategy sequences. For the valuation of the material components you define a strategy sequence that reads the fields of the material master record in a particular sequence such as:
1. Planned price 1
2. Standard price
3. Moving price
The first price that is not zero is used to valuate the material component.
Target versions:
Target cost versions are used in the following ways:
In variance calculation:
To control which variance (total variance, production variances or planning variance) is calculated
To valuate unplanned scrap( scrap variance)
Unplanned scrap is valuated in the period-end closing activities when the variances are calculated. You can specify in a valuation variant for WIP and scrap which cost estimate you want to use to calculate the target costs for the valuation of unplanned scrap. You assign the valuation variant to target cost version 0 if you want to include it in the valuation of scrap.
When you are using a cost object hierarchy with active distribution, you use the target cost version to control which cost estimate the system uses to calculate the target costs, which are used as the basis for determining equivalences for actual cost distribution.
The actual costs collected at the level of the hierarchy are distributed across the orders in accordance with these equivalences. This distribution is proportional to the target costs for the cost element under which the actual costs are written. Actual costs for material costs are distributed in proportion to the target costs for the origin group, such as for the material, if you have entered an origin group in the costing view of the material master record and have set the indicator Material origin, for example.
If no target costs were calculated under this cost element, enter a cost element group in the target cost version. The actual costs are distributed in proportion to the target costs for this cost element group. This cost element group should be complete. If costs were updated under a cost element that is not in this cost element group, no distribution is possible.
You can calculate equivalences on the basis of SAP standard target cost versions 0, 1 and 3.
The standard system supplies the following target cost versions:
Target cost version 0 ( total variance)
The amount of the total variance generates a posting in Financial Accounting during settlement.
For this version, select actual costs as the control costs and standard cost estimate as the target costs.
Target cost version 1 ( production variance)
For this version you choose actual costs as the control costs and planned costs as the target costs.
Target cost version 2( planning variance)
With target cost version 2, the costs from the preliminary order cost estimate are interpreted as control costs.
For this version, select planned costs as the control costs and current cost estimate as the target costs. You cannot calculate planning variances for the product cost collector.
Target cost version 3 (production variance of the period)
You compare the planned costs of the period calculated on the basis of an alternative material cost estimate (such as a modified standard cost estimate) with the actual costs of the period on the basis of the yield delivered to stock in the period.
The base quantity for variance calculation is the yield.
For this version, you choose the actual costs as the control costs and the alternative material cost estimate as the target costs. To determine the alternative material cost estimate, enter a costing variant and choose a costing version.
The target cost version specifies which data is to be compared. The target cost version also specifies which variance variant is used and therefore which variance catagories are calculated. You can define a different target cost version for each controlling area

Cost relevancy indicator for Material

Dear PS colleagues,
Refer to the subject, when we assign a material to activity then sometimes cost relevancy indicator (on General Data tab for material) is ticked & sometimes not, can you guide me how it is controlled.It seems that it may me controlled from material master but not sure.Pl suggest...
Regards,
Ashok Sangal

Hi,
All materials which are account assigned to network/ activity, or WBS element are defaulted with cost-relevancy indicator, though this can subsequently be changed manually. This defaulting is hard-coded (as far as I know) and is dependent on the procurement type . For instance, if you attach a stock (cat:L)material component with collective requirement indicator in MRP4 to a network activity and if you opt for procurement type "Planned Indpendent requirement", you will find that 'Cost Relevancy" indicator is not defauluted. For the same material component with the setting material master settings, if you opt for procurement type "Reservation to Network", the cost relevancy indicator gets defaulted.
Obviously, text type materials etc. will not have any cost relevancy.
Hence, we can conclude that materials which are account assigned (i.e which are relevant for adding cost to proejct objects) will be defaulted with "Cost relevancy" indicator.
If you use BOM transfer functionality, you can define the cost relevancy in the "Profile for BOM transfer"
Hope the information provided is useful and relevant.
