Split Valuation Material Cost Estimate into COPA

Hi all,
Is there any way how we can transfer the split valuation material cost estimate into COPA?
I checked the actual line items, there is no "valuation type / batch" characteristics there.
Is this the main cause?
Please kindly suggest on the best way to solve this issue
Thank you very much
Regards, Erwin

Hi, Ajay
Does this mean that, even though i manage to create the valuation type as characteristic in COPA, i won't be able to get 2 different cost estimate based on valuation type into COPA?
Hm, then, are there any solutions which can be done to solve this issue?
The client needs a COPA report which can show the breakdown of the sold materials cost estimates
As usual, thank you very much for your help

COPA reporting using costing keys

Hi,
I am using costing keys to access the different cost estimates in COPA. I have done the necessary configuration - created valuation strategy and assigned a point of valuation and assigned two costying keys - one for current and one for future costs. I have also mapped my value fields to each cost component. I mapped the one value field twice (representing each costing key) to each cost component.
My question is, when it comes to reporting, how do I show the values seperately that correspond to each costing key? Since I have the same value field being valued with current and future cost estimates, how are these shown separately in the COPA report? Or do I have to use two different value fields per cost component?
Much Appreciated

Just read the SAP documentation which says that you need to enter different value fields for the different costing keys (up to six).
Thanks to those who attempted.

Copa valuation strategy - doubt

Dear experts,
Pls guide me on the below.
Need to use copa valuation strategy in order to transfer cost to copa through cost componenet wise.
So i have assigned cost component to value field and i m using standard costing key with standard setting.

RR

Hi
a. Select Valuation Strategy 001 in KE4U
In DETAILS tab: Assign it to Appl = KE, Check Mat Cstng, and Qty Field = ABSMG
In Assignment tab: Assigning 001 to Point of valuation 01 and Record Type = F
b. Creating a costing key in KE40
Check : Transfer Std cost estimate
Period indicator =Current Cost estimate acc to entry in mat master
c. assigning costing key to material types in KE4J or KEPC and
d. assigning Cost Comp Structure to Value field in KE4R

Costing Key & Component split in the COGS in COPA

I have done settings for accessing the Standard Cost Estimate using Costing Keys in Profitability Analysis. However, while going through the the Sales Invoices posted, I do not find that the components from the cost estimate is not appearing with any values as the split of the COGS. I dont know where I am going wrong ? Where I can check about any missing setting ?

Hi Nikkitha ,
If you have to have the COGS in COPA and have cost component split.. please ensure that following configurations are completed..
1. KE4U - Valuation Strategy 001 should be there .- (DETAILS Tab) assign 001 to Qty Field ABSMG and tick "Mat Cstng" indicator
2. KE4U - In (Assignment Tab) Please Assign 001 to PV=01 and Record Type = F
3. Create a Costing key in KE40
4. Assign Costing key to mat types in KE4J or KEPC
5. Assign Cost Comp Split to Value Field in KE4R....
Please ensure that in KE4R .. you have select correct cost component structure and populated the value fields where the costs will flow..........

About Material Cost Estimatite Valuation Strategy

Material PPC001 have three purchase info record, it's price is 4.27/CNY,3.68/CNYand 2.56/CNY. Price 4.27/CNY and 2.56/CNY have invalid. Material of moving average price is 3.14/CNY. When I create the material cost estimate,in the material valuation, system use moving average price to calculate cost price. But in last month, I create the cost estimate, the material vaulation is use Price form purchase info record. I dont know what the material still has valid price 3.68/CNY, why system use moving average price to calculate cost price? How to work about the material valuation Strategy?
My material valuation variants priority strategy sequence is 1.Price form Purchasing Info Record,2.Moving Average Price,3.Standard Price in Previous Period.

Costing variant with a valuation strategy

Hello all,
I have the following issue:
In PM I have defined a costing variant with a valuation strategy first u201Cstandard priceu201D and second u201CMoving Average priceu201D, and assigned this costing variant to the plant and order type.
When I create a PM order (PM01) with a planning plant and enter the components in the order with a different plant and determine the cost, the system determines the correct plan costs based on the Costing variant for planned costs. The planning plant and the plant where the components are reserved are belonging to the same company code.
When I create the same order with a planning plant and a different plant for component reservation and both plants belong to different company codes and determine the costs, the system doesnu2019t take the Costing variant into account. The costs are determined based on the price control assigned to the material type and not based the valuation strategy. In this case always the moving average price is taken.
Can anyone help me with this issue?
Thanks in advance

Hi
In OIOF you can specify the valuation variant for plant and order type, system determines the same . for your second case kindly check in the order which valuation variant system has determined.

Capturing COGS in COPA without VPRS and Costing Keys

Hi all,
We have 20 branches selling across india and corporate office is controlling all
the branches.
So when billing is done thru a particular branch, Corp. Off does not want branch people to view the cost of goods which is captured thru VPRS in condition screen of billing document. So VPRS has been removed from pricing procedure.
In the above scenario we can transfer COGS using costing key and transfer the standard cost to COPA.
But for the materials for which there is no standard cost (like trading goods) how the cost of traded goods will flow to COPA without using VPRS condition.
Please help me out.
Regards
Ramakrishna

Hi,
Good morning and greetings,
For trading goods, normally a purchase order should be prevailing for procuring the same and selling it to the customer with a markup...When you do the goods receipt using MT101, using a substitution rule you can transfer the cost to the profitability segment which is product hierarchy and you can capture the cost of the material without a VPRS pricing condition and a standard price in the material master.
Please reward points if found useful
Thanking you
With kindest regards

Valuation Strategy for Sales Order Costing

We are currently using valuated sales order stock in ECC 6.0. The "without valuation strategy field" on the requirements class is not checked. However, the valuation strategy varies for a material and for a sales order. Sometimes it is using valuation strategy 2 - cost from the production order cost estimate - which is desired and other times valuation strategy 3 - cost from the standard price field in the material master - which is not desired. When is the valuation strategy determined for a production order for valuated sales order stock?

Costing Variant is assigned to Requirement class
Requirement class is assigned to Requirement type
Requirement type is assigned to Planning Strategy
Planning strategy is assigned to strategy groups
Strategy group is assigned to MRP3 tab in Material Master
System picks the costing sheet in requirement class
In this way product will be costed for Make to Order sale order costing.

Material Valuation-Easy Cost Planning Using Valuation Strategy U(Userexit)

Hi Experts,
I am implementing a userexit for CJ20N for Valuation Price with Valuation Strategy U: COPCP005, in that i activated the function exit EXIT_SAPLCK21_002 and wrote my logic in that, i want to use project wise material price instead standard price which is stored in a Z table.
For that i need to identify the project ID inside the function exit, i can get it using the input parameter IMP_AUFNR for WBS with Network, for Easy Cost Planning the same exit is triggered but iam not getting the IMP_AUFNR there, so i want to know how to identify the project inside that function exit.
Could someone suggest me a way to find out the Project ID or description or WBS element inside the function exit.
Thanks in Advance.

Assign costing keys to any characterstics

Hi,
We are implementing COPA Valuation. I have assigned all the fields like record type F, material types, company codes, and costing keys in the KEPC t.code.
For define and assign valuation strategy and creating costing keys, system has asked for the saving TR request.
But while saving KEPC t.code after the assignment, system is not asking for any transport request. System is giving the message "saved successfully"
How to generate the Transport Request for the same.
Note: Will system generate Customizing TR or Workbench TR for the same.?
Please throw the light on this issue on priority.
Thanks
Satya

Hi
Incase you wish to transport it, Select your rule in KEPC and click on Menu Extras > Transport
I prefer a direct maintenance

What is meant by costing key?

Dear Experts ,
while releasing the billing document to accounts , i am getting error like
Valuation with material cost estimate: error, The system looked for the material cost estimate using costing key "002", as defined in the Customizing settings for CO-PA, incomplete due to FI/CO interface
what is meant by costing key?

rajakarthik

Hi,
In Costing based Profitability analysis you define costing keys. A costing key is a set of access parameters which are used in valuation to determine which data in Product cost planning should be read. In the costing key you attach the costing variant.
In the costing key you specify whether the system should read the current standard cost estimate, the previous standard cost estimate or the future standard cost estimate or a saved cost estimate.
The configuration settings to determine this costing key is as follows:
Assign costing keys to the products u2013 Three costing keys can be attached to a single product for a specific point of valuation, record type, plan version.
Assign costing keys to Material types
Assign costing keys to any characteristics u2013 You can use your own strategy to determine the costing keys. This is through user defined assignment tables.

Inter company COGS and Cost Components in COPA

Looked at so many threads but couldn't find a proper answer.
Scenario: Company B in Canada books a sales order, delivering from a Plant in Company A in US. US bills Canada at Cost + Mark up.
In US:
On Goods issue COGS is booked based on std in US (say $10)
On Inter company billing - (Cost + 20% mark up) Inter company receivable is $12, this triggers a payable on Canada side.
In Canada:
We can have $12 booked as COGS when Payable entry is created in Canada through IDOC. so Accounting is OK.
How can I have this COGS of $12 posted in COPA ? Somewhere I read to use two condition types for VPRS, but unfortunately we cant do that as we have revenue recognition activated. only VPRS condition values comes through revenue recognition lines.
Since Delivering plant in US has a Standard cost of $10, VPRS is $10 in sales order and COPA gets the cost components from US plant, which is not correct. How can I have the mark up of $2 reflected in Cost components in COPA ?.
Assuming that I create a standard Cost estimate in a virtual Plant in Canada for $12 with two cost components for $10 and $2. Is it possible to manipulate VPRS on sales order to point to standard cost from this virtual plant and create a costing key to bring the cost split from this virtual plant into COPA. Has anybody tried this ?
Thanks in advance.
Krishna

Hi Krishna
1. Does this material always necessitates a supply from US company??
If yes, then your task is easy.. Create a Costing Key and assign to such materials in KE4H... In this Costing Key, do not tick the radio button "Use Line Item Plant as Cost estimate Plant".... Instead, You can specify the default PLANT to be used for reading the Cost Estimates in the field "Specify Cost estimate PLant"
You can use the above solution in case you go with Virtual Plant also
2. Are you saying that the VPRS in Sales order punched in Canadian comp code is 10 USD because the Delivery Plant is in US comp code?
I dont know how does Revenue recog behave in your case and when does VPRS (COGS) flow to COPA.... As you said, VPRS gets the feed from RR, so will manually manipulating the VPRS in sales order help you??
Anyways, the 2nd solution is as below... Few companies have used it
There is an output type in SD called RD04... I may not be fully right here, you can take it as RD0*... Ask your SD guy to identify the right output type
Using this, When you do the PGI in Canadian Comp code,
................. All this happens in background automatically...............
you can create a Virtual STO on USA Comp code....
USA does PGI and the stock virtually comes in Canadian Comp code
Then PGI happens from Canadian Comp code
................. All this happens in background automatically...............
This is a change in your process... The delivery plant for all practical purposes becomes Canadian Plant (only on paper)... Your Physical process can continnue as Delivery from USA...
This solution was adopted when both the companies were in same country.... Check with your business how far is it possibie for you
3. Last option would be to use valuation exit COPA0002.... I dont know how you would use it considering you have RR in place....
Be very careful in doing this
