Use of cost component structure

hello gurus
what is use of cost component structure and what is the difference between cost sheet and cost component structure .after preparation of cost sheet we going to assign the costing varient like that after preparing the cost component structure where we assign this
thanks

Hi!
cost component structure is to split your total costs to material ( direct & inditiect), labour cost, over head costs in order to identify seperate costs for analysis purpose. transaction code is :OKTZ.
first you have to define cost component attributes , then assign cost elements for each attributes and then assign this structure to your company code.
while executing the standard cost estimate of materials, total cost will be displayed by splitting the costs according to cost component structure.

Standard Report for Materials Cost Component Structure - PO Condition Type

Dear experts,
We are using below cost component structure (CCS) for materials:
- Direct materials
- import duty
- import handling
In which, all those above CCS are achieved through below condition type in Purchasing Info Record. When doing the standard cost estimate through costing run, we have successfully grouped all those condition types into their respective CCS. The problem is, while executing the standard report of "result of costing run" (S_ALR_87099930), the sytem groups all those three CCS into CCS "Direct materials" only.
I have tried different standard layouts, but still got no way to show all those CCS separately in the standard report.
Please kindly suggest what approach should i take
Thank you very much
BR, Erwin
@edit
Solved.

Hi
Check cost elements assigned to structure. For this go to transaction code OKTZ and select your CCS and double click on Assignment Cost Component-Cost element interval.

Cost Component structure field and table names

Hey all,
i need to code a BADI to push value of one column in cost component structure to another column in ccs for only order settlements..
any idea how to do this??
i am very new to abap please take it easy on ur answer..
i coulndt even find in which table and fields these values are stored...
thank you

I have an OSS note, it tells you step by step how to config the badi u need.. but does not mention about the logic u ll use.. it is up to you....
so i need to find the field names and tell take these and post them to these columns...
i dont know if i make any sence, but this is all i need to do...
so i have the body i have the logic but i dunno the import and export fields...
i believe the table is ckmlkeph.... and field that populate the columns are kst0XX, but i cannot see the field name and table name if i select a line in the column and F1 ????

Error in product costing cost component structure with quantity...

Dear sap gurus
I am creating material cost estimation with quantity structure while doing in T CODE CK11N the following error is coming Message no. 213 Cost component structure z9 is not active. But I am not using the particular Cost component structure z9. I am using the standard Cost component structure 01 and I have activated it at OKTZ and the z9 is deactivated. Plz, tell me where I can fix this error
Awaiting for you kind reply.
Naveen

Hai MoH
Thanks for yuor reply, yes you are correct. i have checked in OKKN where i found that the cost component structure z9 is assigned to my co. code that is not mine i am using the standard cost componet structure. plz, tell me where i should go and change the assignment plz, give the T.CODE

New Cost Component Structure in new Costing Variant

Hi gurus,
i created a new costing variant (to be used for planned prices, for budget purposes), then a new cost component structure.
Now the system (transaction OKTZ) doesn't allow me to assign the new cost component structure to the new costing variant forcing me to mask the costing variant with ++++.
But the aim, for me, is just assigning the new cost component structure to the new costing variant only for a company code and only for a plant.
Does anybody know how i can reach the goal? Am i missing some step?
Thanks in advance for the collaboration,
Best regards
Enrico

Hi Utenza
You can very well achieve this
1. First of all ensure that a masked entry exists i.e. ++++ in Comp Code field, Plant Field, Costing variant Field and assign the Prmary cost comp str here
2. Then, coming to the new costing variant and new cost comp str,
a. Enter ++++ in the comp code field
b. Enter your plant name in the Plant Field (and not ++++)
c. Enter your new costing variant here.. (This should be the costing variant where costing type is not 01)
d. Assign your new cost comp structure here against this costing variant

Impact of Cost component structure on PA Transfer structure in SAP

Hi All,
We were using a single Operating concern and Controlling area for existing company codes. Now, we got a new company to be created all together a new company with the same chart of accounts.
1. We have created Operating concern, COA, Company code..... and then completed the PA Transfer structure of FI-MM in KEI1
2. I have created a new Costing variant in OKKN
3. I have created the Cost component structure in OKTZ and assigned the new company code to it.
When i go back and checked the PA Transfer structure for FI-MM, i see everything showing as blank.
I have no idea the entire config got deleted.
Do you have any idea how it happens and why it happens please?
Also, will there be any relation b/n OKTZ and KEI1 and sequence to customize?
Hope you understand my query.
Appreciate your early response.
Thanks,
Narasimhulu

Hi Ravi,
Thanks for your response.
I have created the FI-MM PA transfer structure for the new Controlling area. But after completing the Cost component structure and came back to check the PA Transfer structure, i was surprised since everything to deleted.
I have no idea if we need to follow a sequence while doing these two activities (KEI1 and OKTZ).
Thanks,
Narasimhulu

Cost component structure in CO-OM Reporting

Hi there,
we want to run cost center reports, that show us the balance on a cost center per primary cost element, after we have allocated some of the costs from the cost center into production orders.
I thought this can be achieved by having the tariffs we use for the internal activity allocation been broken into their cost component structure so that on the cost center, the respective primary cost elements are debited by the activity allocation.
However, this is not happening in my system. While the activity tariffs are correctly calculated with a component split (according the 1SKS-001 report), the standard cost center report still shows the debit on the cost center with the secondary cost element of the activity.
Does this mean I cannot see the component split of my activities in normal OM reporting?
Thanks
Kai

Hi
Make cost splitting structure and assigne to Production Cost Center.
Run Cost splitting KSS2 for cost splitting according to activity types.

Error message: cost elements have no cost component structure

using transaction KSII for the report; we didn´t change any settings, but we get this warming in the system.
We don´t know what happens, because it was ok in december, but know we have this warning.
The version for the year 2009 is maintained.
Any ideas?

There might be some new cost elements which would incurred actual costs which were not available in 2008 as well as in Cost component Structure.
Anyways try maintaining the cost elements in Cost Component structure.

Reg:Cost Component Structure

Hi Guru's
In the Cost Compenent Structure T.Code:OKTZ I Select Primay Cost Component Split,
I Excuted Two Standard Cost Estimates one is with out Primary Cost Component Split, and Secound one with Primary Cost Component Split
But I can't see the Difference for both Standard Cost Estimates....
where we can see the Diffierence exactly for with and without Primary Cost Component Split...

Hi Srinu,
Go through the following thread to understand the purpose of Primary Cost Component Split...
Re: Primary cost component split
If you have understood the details from the above thread, go through the following...
If you want to go for Primary Cost Component Split, the following sequence MUST be followed...
1. Activate Primary Cost Component Split in OKTZ,
2. Mention your Cost Component Structure name (for ex: 01) in your Version Maintenance in OKEQ
( In OKEQ, select your Version, Go to Controlling Area settings, go in to Settings for Fiscal Year. In "Price Calculation" Tab, you will find the field for Cost Component Structure).
3. Upload the Cost Center Planning Data using this Version.
Now, what you might have tested is that, you have done the Cost Center Planning as usual ( I guess you missed the above sequence, especially point no.2) and you run the Std Cost Estimate. After that, you have Activated the Primary Cost Component Split and you might have run the Std Cost Estimate. Obviously, you will not find any difference in that case.
I have used Primary Cost Component Split in couple of my implementations and it worked fine.
Revert back if you need further explanation in this regard....

How to Maintaining Cost component under cost component structure?

Hi Gurus,
How to Maintaining Cost component under cost component structure?
I am using OKTZ trx for cost element and cost component maintaiance but when i am trying to maintain the cost element and corresponding cost comp , i am not able to find a cost comp on F4 help.
Plz let me know , ur guidance will be rewarded ..

Using command:
ASSIGN COMPONENT idx OF STRUCTURE struc TO <fs>.
For example:
DESCRIBE FIELD pi_output TYPE pi_output COMPONENTS lv_columns. "For number of columns
DO lv_columns TIMES.
ASSIGN COMPONENT SY-INDEX OF
STRUCTURE (name of structure) TO <l_fs_output>. "<l_fs_output> - field of structure
DESCRIBE FIELD <l_fs_output>... "with other options.
ENDDO.

Activity Price in Cost Component Structure

Hi,
After costing run I have updated Activity Price in KP26.. I want to see latest activity price in Cost component structure e.g. Labour Activity and Machine Activity..cost for this a) Is it require re-costing run? b) how can we calculate activity price? e.g. total base qty/confirmed qty *no.of hrs. can you please corret me my formula I have maintain in KP26 capcity 500 and fixed price 10. I am able to see machine hrs. 6 in Resource data..
Thanks
Srinu

Hi Srinu,
Do you mean that, just after changing the KP26 values, u are expecting the same to reflect in your cost component structure of materials? KP26 is only to plan the price of an activity type in a cost center. This will be applicable for the future period. ie when operations are confirmed in production orders in future, this costs will be absorbed to the production order.
Use S_ALR_87013611 or similar reports for actual activity prices(debits) and actual activity quantities. Former divided by later will give you the actual per unit activity price for the last period.( in case of 1 to 1 relationship between cost center and activity).

Differance betwen Variable & Fixed and Variable in Cost Component Structure

Dear All,
What is the difference between the Variable and Fixed and Variable for the cost component for the Cost Component Structure.
why we have to take Raw Material Cost Componennt always Variable. Is any help?
Regards

fixed cost is irrespective the level of production the cost remains same. or upto certain level of production the cost the cost will ramain same and after the cost may increase.
example: rent of the factory building or office buildings remains same irrespective of the operations level.
variable is with every change in the level of production the cost change.
example: raw material used in manufacturing finished product. The more finished products the more is the consumption of raw material.

Difference between cost component structure and cost component split

can anyone explain me the difference between cost component structure and cost component split with simple example
thanks

Hi ,
cost component structure
Definition
Number that identifies the structure.
Use
In Product Cost Controlling, the cost component structure determines how the results of material costing are updated. The cost component structure groups the costs for each material according to cost component (such as material costs, internal activities, external activities, and overhead). If the material is used in the production of another material, the cost component split (which breaks down the costs according to material costs, internal activities, external activities, overhead, and so forth) remains in the system when the costs are rolled up.
In the cost component split, you also define the following for material costing:
Which part of the costs are fixed costs
Which costs are
cost of goods manufactured and what are sales and administration costs
Which costs are relevant for stock valuation, commercial inventory valuation and tax inventory valuation
When the cost component structure is assigned to the organizational units, you can specify that two cost component splits are created:
Main cost component split
This is the principal cost component split, meaning that it is used in the standard cost estimate, which can be used to update the material master. The main cost component split can be a cost component split for cost of goods manufactured or a primary cost component split.
Auxiliary cost component split
This can exist in addition to the main cost component split, and is not used in the standard cost estimate. It can be used for analysis purposes, in that it can be displayed with the cost estimate and passed on to Profitability Analysis.
In Cost Center Accounting, the cost component structure determines how the results of the activity price calculation are updated. The cost component structure groups the costs for each activity type of the cost center according to components (such as material costs and labor costs). If an internal activity allocation is carried out, the cost component split (which breaks down the costs according to material, labor costs, and so forth) is retained at cost rollup.
If the cost component split is not to be retained, you can create a switching structure for the cost component structure for Cost Center Accounting. In the switching structure, you specify which sender cost component goes into which receiver cost component.
<b>require a cost component structure to calculate prices using cost component split.</b>
For each cost component structure you define a component such as energy, personnel, or raw materials. The components combine all costs occuring for a particular cost element area. In this way, you ensure greater cost transparency in activity price calculation when putting together the activity type prices - for example, it becomes easier to find how much of the activity price is taken up by the material costs.
In activity allocation, the cost component structure remains constant, meaning that the receiver takes on the sender cost elements and that the allocated costs are posted in the same cost components in the receiver as in the sender.
A cost component structure can have a maximum of 40 defined cost components.
Cost components are assigned to cost elements. You thereby determine which cost elements go to which rows in the structure, and how these components are updated in price calculation.
Hope ths helps

Cost Component Structure (OKTZ) Issue - Max number of cost fields reached

Hello.
I'm having this issue in OKTZ when adding new cost component in an exisiting cost component structure. it says "maximum number of cost fields reached (40)".
not sure what to do with this.
please see screenshot
http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/1700/oktz.jpg

Hi Andrew,
When yo create the Cost Components in the Cost Component Structure, inside each Cost Component, there will be properties relating to whether the Cost in that Cost Component is Fixed / Variable, relevant to Inventory Valuation or not etc.
To view these options...Go to OKTZ, select the line of your Cost Component Structure, double click on "Cost Component with Attributes" in the left side navigation. Now, you will be able to see the list Cost Components on right hand side. If you double click on any Cost Component, you will see the properties of that Cost Component.
There, you can see ther radio buttons "Variable Costs" and "Fixed and Variable Costs".
Now, in Standard SAP, you will be able to create a maximum 40 Cost Components. The behaviour of the system goes like this.... If one Cost Component is only "Variable Cost", it will take the space of one Cost Component out of the maximum 40. If one Cost Component is of "Fixed and Variable Costs", then it will take the space of two Cost Components out of the maximum 40. That means, if all of your Cost Components are "Fixed and Variable", then you will be able to create only 20 Cost Components.
You can find the SAP explanation regarding this in the IMG Documentation...
SPROControllingProduct Cost ControllingProduct Cost PlanningBasic Settings for Material Costing--Define Cost Component Structure. Check the IMG Documentation there to find the following text...
Structure of the Cost Components in a Cost Component Split
The cost components are listed in a cost component structure that can contain up to 40 cost components (cost fields).
You can create up to 40 cost components that contain variable costs.
For cost components that contain full costs, the system creates a second cost field for the fixed costs. This means that you can create no more than 20 cost components that are full costs.

Cost Component Structure - expand or further second view

Hello experts,
I have a cost component structure with 40 elements. Now I need 5 further elements, but without changing existent variable / fix components.
One idea is to build a 2nd component structure as "cost component split". But how I implement a second view, what are the steps watching the other structure in customer calculation, or CO PA?
Thanks for help!
Regards Juergen

Oh yes, I forgot about the Limit... You can check for any available OSS notes.,.
As far as I know, the upper cap is 40 and SAP does not allow more.. It makes sense to me that having cost components more than that is difficult to handle
Can you think of revamping your CCS?
