Variable Cost And Fix Cost Planning

What are the settings and are they in Product Costing sub module to be able to clearly see the difference in movement of fixed and variable costs for the activity types in the cost of a product. (Product Cost with quatitiy structure CK11N)
At present, in our settings, even though we have broken the rates as fixed and variable for the actitiy types in cost center planning, there is absolutely no impact in product cost for this. All costs move like variable costs.
Best Regards.

Check in Cost component structure for cost component for the attributes.
For Activity cost type attribute you must select the control parameter as fixed and variable costs radio button.

Function Module to find Planned Costs and Actual Costs against WBS element

Dear All,
We have a requirement where we need to find out the Planned Costs and Actual Costs booked against a WBS element, in a year. The costs can be against all the plan versions or on individual plan version.
Are there any function modules to retrieve this value?
Thanks for the help.
Warm Regards,
Judith

Hi,
The easiest way would be to get the OBJNR for all WBS elements from PRPS and look up RPSCO and summarize for Value type (RPSCO-WRTTP) 1 for planned cost and 4 for Actual cost.
Please let me know if this helps.

IW32 needed Plan Cost and Actual Cost table name

Hello ,
In IW32 transaction Plan Cost and Actual cost in cost tab ---Table Name.
Req: needed plan cost & actual cost table names for particular order number.( For New Report )
Can you please let me know where Plan cost & actual cost get stored in IW32 in Cost tab ( table name / function module name ) or how its get calcualted for particular order number.
Thanks in advance !
Regards
Rahul

hi ,
i too had same issue , i wrote following FS for that :
Actual and planned cost from PMCO-WRT00 to WRT12(the sum of values should be considered for actual as well as planned ) for PMCO-OBJNR taken from CAUFV -OBJNR for order number AFIH-AUFNR and also currency from CAUFV-WAERS .
Actual cost will have valuation type PMCO-WRTTP = 4 and planned cost will have valuation type PMCO-WRTTP = 1 , which will be placed in different column
hope this helps

Cost plus and fixed cost project

Project Experts,
I have business requirements to create two projects first with fixed price and second with cost plus. Has any one did this and would like to share there expertise would be great.
Here are details.
For cost plus the business need is to create a project with transactions that applied a markup over the cost percentage. Any one did this do you know how you applied mark up over the cost %
For Fixed cost create a project with transactions that will create an automatic (additional line) with flat fees?
Many thanks in advanced for your time

Hi
I'm not sure I understood the exact requirements.
Anyhow, you could bill and generate revenue for a project based on the project expenditures. Setup the distribution method as WORK. You need to setup the bill rates for labor and bill rates for non labor resources. If you setup the bill rate for non-labor as 5%, the system will apply an additional amount of 5% to the costs of project non-labor expenditures. You could also use the burden schedule to apply a percentage of markup on labor and non labor expenditures. In any of those alternative you invoice will include lines which summarize the RDLs. The amount of each RDL us the calulated billing amount which include the raw cost with the additional markup.
Your additional alternative for billing and revenue is using events, which could be automatic or manually entered. Automatic events are calculated and generated based on the custom logic you might develop using billing extension. You could use that method to generate a fix amount event for the project invoice / revenue. Each event will be included as additional line in the invoice. Note, if you invoice should include the amount of expenditures and additional event based events, the distribution rule should be WORK. If you only need to bill the events, without the RDL's of expenditure items, setup the project for revenue and invoice method as Event.

Dashboard content is not populated with Planned Cost and Actual Cost

Hi
We are working in cProjects 4.0 + ECC 6.0 implementation. I could not get the data for columns in Planned Cost and Actual Cost in cProjects Project Dashboard. I have properly mapped the config settings and created and assigned a Project in PS
Has anybody got this data in the Dashboard?
Kindly suggest the solution
with regards,

Hi Rama,
It is difficult to say, where the problem is.
but typically, the causes of the problem are
customizing is set incorrectly or the evaluation is not carried out.
You can run the the evaluation DPR_EVE_BATCH_DPO additionally, please untick the flag 'check the last changed date'.
Hope, it helps.
Kind regards,

Target cost and actual cost not picking in production order

Hello,
The target cost and actual cost is not updating in production order when I display it in CO03 in cost analysis.
Even though we have maintained planned price in KP26.
Please suggest how it can be populated.
Best Regards,
Tapan

Hi Tapan
For Target cost
1. Your std cost must be released before Goods Receipt
2. There must be goods receipt posted on the prod order
3. You must calculate variances in KKS1/2
For Actual Cost
1. Post Goods receipt and Goods issues
2. See if any mat movements are pending in COGI
3. Ensure that operation is confirmed in PP and no entry is lying in COFC

Estimated Cost and Actual Cost

Hi Friends,
Can someone tell me, which MM tables(logically database) has these fields stored?? Estimated cost and Actual cost??
Note : Where and How can I find the logical data base??
Thanks alot in advance,

Yes thank so much for your quick help.
I see here we can get 1- Plan cots , 4 Actual cost, But in PMCO, how can we get the estimated cost, I see that WRTTP = 1 also contain the value for estimated cost but not plan cost . Please help me.
Thanks

Huge Variance between Target cost and Actual Cost

Hi,
In Product Costing,I am getting Huge variance between Target cost and Actual Cost.It is showing the Target Cost as ZERO.Why i am getting this target cost as Zero? what could be the reason? Kindly help me in fix this issue.
Thanks
Supriya

Dear,
First do the GR final DEV for Production order
You need to do the variance calculation in KKS2, then when you save the variance, the target cost is calculated.
Target cost appear after GR. And you will get the Variance also right.
Please try and come back.

Target Cost and Actual Cost

Hi All,
When is the target cost and actual cost gets populated and from where does the data comes from liek labour,machine,overhead cost comes?
Thanks in advance

Dear Friend,
speaking from controlling point of view, target and actual costs will be flown from "costing variant planned" and "costing variant actual" respectively.In above mentioned varinats, whats the process has to be followed to calculate material costs,activty costs,overhead costs etc will be defined. These variants will be assigned in order type dependent parameters OPL8.
Target Costs - In standard cost estimate(ck11n),target cost will be calculated in the following way
                          -material cost from material master and BOM
                          - activity costs from routing( for this u need to plan the activity costs in KP26)
                          - other costs from the definitions of planned costing variant.
                   - after running the standard cost estimate,u need to mark n release(ck24).
Actual Costs - material costs frm goods issues (via goods mvmts thru MBIA,MB1B etc) against
                      production/process order.
                          - activity costs(as per the price u plannned in KP26)through operation confirmation in
                            COR6N/CO11N.
                          - any other costs like overheads,cost center issues etc as per the process defined
                            in 'actual costing variant'.
Hope this will clear your doubt.

What is the difference between est. cost, CPU cost, and IO cost

When looking at and execution plan there is est. cost, CPU cost, and IO cost.
Can someone explain these and more importantly explain which one is the most
important to tune and the step to take to reduce these cost to a respect level.
I have seen many program hit 10,000 cost and 1 Mio CPU cost and I need to get that down to improve performance.
I am running on 10.2.
Thanks
Mikie

Hi Olivier,
sorry to disagree but:

> both. For instance a program accessing the database

is just not right.
The amount of work to do for the database to get the job done (that is to deliver the requested results) may vary A LOT!
That is why there is a optimizer at all.
It's true: I/O cost model the time required to perform necessary read/write operations and CPU cost do the same for handling the data in memory.
With indexes, database features active and database versions the optimizer can choose from selecting different access, filter and sorting mechanisms to answer the db requests.
Usually there's not much you can do to the CPU costs - the database has it's internal rating concerning how "expensive" a sort-merge-join will be or a hash-distinct function.
What you can (and usually should) do, is to lower the main contributor to processing and I/O costs: the volume of data.
Therefore one will try to reduce the number of rows to be processed early in the query process. That can either be done by changing the selection itself or via the indexing scheme. Furthermore physical I/O might be reduced by using specific db features (compression, datablock sizing, bitmap indexes, partitioning etc.).
Anyhow, to come back to the original post: it's important to think of costs as time-to-execute modelled in CPU-activity and I/O-operations.
The goal is to deliver the result at the fastest - so, nobody should bother about the absolute numbers when it comes to costs. The question has to be: what execution time is meant with this?

What Is The Difference Between Budget Cost And Regular Cost For Resources?

What's the difference betwee budget cost and regular cost for resources?
Here is the explanation which I didn't understand from the book;
In planning your departmental retreat, suppose you
have specific budget targets
for certain cost categories, $2,500
for travel expenses, $500 for printing,
and $1,000 for conference room rentals. Using Project’s budget resource
feature, you can define your budget
for different categories
of items. You can then group your resources to
com-pare your budgeted
costs to your planned costs. This way, you
can view your travel budget
of $2,500 side by side with your planned
costs of, say, $3,700,
and immedi- ately see that your next
goal is to find a way to trim those travel
costs.

Hi,
You have to differenciate the proejct budget from the project cost:
The project budget is the amount of money which has been allocated to your project by the executive board based on the estimation you provided. This is not meant to be changed unless you go through a change request process, justifying why you need to change
(increase) the budget, meaning asking more money. Consequently it will not be related in MS Project with the tasks, assignments. It is entered on the project summary and can be meanly used in portfolio reports where you can consolidate yours budgets (you can
have several different budgets) among a set of projects.
The project cost is something which lives, changes along the project lifecycle. It is meant to be updated on a weekly or biweekly basis from the team members tasks updates approved by the project manager. Then the PM updates the remaining work thus the project
cost.
Hope this helps,
Guillaume Rouyre, MBA, MVP, P-Seller |
You say that the budget cost is total money which committee gave you for the project.
But the book refer budget cost for every resource. I don't understand that.
" In planning your departmental retreat, suppose you
have specific budget targets
for certain cost categories, $2,500
for travel expenses, $500 for printing,
and $1,000 for conference room rentals. Using Project’s budget resource

and immedi- ately see that your next
goal is to find a way to trim those travel
costs. "
For example here travel budget cost is 2500 whereas planned cost is 3700. Planned cost of travel expense is created by the project manager. Who does define travel budget cost?
Let's say an employee's cost is 20 dollars per hour and I write it on the project. So how much is this employee's budget cost, Who does define it, From whom do I learn that data?

Planed cost and standard cost

hi sap guru's
What happens when u dont flag balance in local currency in gl master?
What is diff between planed cost and stand cost where will u give standard cost in MM?

Hi Ramu,
Generally the only balances in local currency will be checked for balance sheet items because it is mandatory to submit the balance sheet in local currency for outsiders/govt.
Standard Cost in the constant cost for a material. Planned cost is cost for the material for the future period. We will give Standard Price in Accounting 1 view of the material master.

Costs and settled costs layout in standard reports

Hello guys !
what needs to be done in order to have a report, for example, S_ALR_87013543 , splitted by costs and settled costs (debit/credit) ? I can't find a layout or smth.
Thanks guys.
Laimonas

Hi
Include this ZPP2 in a separate report group (GR51)... After that,
1. Create the transaction code,say, ZF01_TCODE from Se93
2. Choose "Transaction with parameters".. Press enter
3. Enter START_REPORT in the Transaction field and press Enter
4. Select the Skip initial screen and Inherit GUI attributes check boxes
5. On the same screen, scroll down to the Default Values table and select parameters D_SREPOVARI-REPORTTYPE and
D_SREPOVARI-REPORT.
6. Enter RW for the report type and your report group ZCC8 as the report value
7. Now you can save your transaction and transport it to other systems

Function Module to Find Actual costs and Total Cost Commitments

Hi PS Experts ,
Please let me know if there is any function module to find Acutal costs and Total cost commitments by passing WBS element as Input .
Regards,
Karan

Hi Karan,
I think for actual cost - there is definately one FM availbale. Try to find it out.
Just ensure - if you are using Network Activity then you may have to pass NWA OBJNR into this FM to get actual cost. As some entry posting happens against NWA like Timesheet. Hope it will give you some idea to get rid on your issue.
