Variance calculation for production order with settlement receiver as SDI

Hi...
I have one query reference to Variance calculation for production order with settlement receiver as SDI(Sales document item).
I am working on Varaint configuration with strategy 25(Make-to-order for configurable material) with requirement class 046.
I have created sales order ref. to configurable material,subsequently created planned order & then converted to production order.
In production order settlement receiver is SDI(Sales document item).
While doing production confirmation ,variance has been created.
Now during variance calculation KKS2, I have got error message as no suitable settlement rule found for object Order no.
Is there any way to come out of this?Or variance calculation KKS2 is not applicable with settlement receiver as SDI(Sales document item).
Pl. guide

Hi
In case of non valuated material, concept of variance does not apply...
Variance is Actual Cost - Cost of Goods receipt posted in stock.. If the later value is zero, your entire actual cost is variance... That is one way of saying it
But, in SAP, var not calculated in case of non valuated material and that makes sense as well.. Since you are in MTO scenario, it would make sense to analyse costs vs revenues @ sale order level as each SO will be unique in itself

Variance calculation for production order

Hello,
I am clarifying what's the selection criteria for settled production orders so that we can carry out the following
close and deletion flag activities.
I am currently in release ECC605. Need to carify the below questions.
1. For production order without header material (dismantle production order), no need to do variance calculation before
settlement,right? Because I found system will respond green light but "no order was processed", this kind of production order
won't possess "VCAL variance calcaulted" system status.
2. For all production orders created with header material, vairance calculation is a must, even the variance is 0.
So the production orders will possess "VCAL" status after variance calculation transaction is done.
Thanks for your help in advance.
B. Regards,
Nancy

How does input variance and output varia.nce will be calculated on the settlement of production order after TECO.
VARIANCE CALCULATION DEPENDS ON CONFIGURATION IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS,
1) VARIANCE VARIANT - DETERMINES WHAT VAREIANCE CATEGORIES ARE CALCULATED, E.G MATERIAL PRICE , USAGE, LABOUR RATE , USAGE VARIANCE ETC..
2) TARGET COST VERSIONS
3) VALUATION VARIANT FOR WIP AND SCRAP
Can we check in KOB3 or COOIS.
KOB3 - YES
COOIS - CHECK IN COST REPORT

Error during variance calculation for production order "NO cost estimate "

hi all,
I'm gettin this error message while trying to calculate the variance for a production order. error is "No cost estimate for material xxxx for 01.10.2008.
when i look at material xxx in MM02, under cost estimate for current period there is a value but nothing for previous period. So i'm guessing the the Cost estimate was not run of this material? am i correct here?
Now if i try to run cost estimate for material for the missing periods using CK11N, i get an error "cannot save for past period"
Could some one tell me how can i get a prior year estimate into the material master?
I tried CK40N and CKN1 but just cant get it to work...
Thanks heaps

Hi Tom
unfortunately there is no easy way to get a product cost estimate for a past date. One of the reasons for this would be inconsistant product valuation.
You could in theory create a cost estimate in a current date and use an ABAP or manually adjust the valid from and to dates directly in the tables (e.g. KEKO). To do this in a production environment would be restrictive off course.
The standard cost estimate is the basis for the target costs so as an alternative you could look to change the configuration of the target cost version in OKV6 to either of the following:
- Plan Cost/Preliminary Costing (that is the plan calc done on your production order)
- Alternative Material Cost Estimate (one that is not necessarily a product costing that is set for marking and release).
I hope this is of some help.

WIP calculation for Prod.order with status TECO

Hello all.
My question is the similar to WIP calculation for Prod.order with status DLV
But I need that
- if the Production order has status TECO - the system calculate WIP
- if the Production order has status DLV u2013 the system settle the order.
1. I try to change u201CStatus Numberu201D in TCODE OKGC. But I have receive two different result:
- if I change u201CStatus Numberu201D for status DLV from 3 to 2, then during WIP calculation of the order with status DLV u2013 WIP have been calculated.
- but if I change u201CStatus Numberu201D for status TECO from 4 to 2, then during WIP calculation of the order with status TECO u2013 WIP have been CANSELED.
2. I try to change results analysis key for status TECO from u201CZu201D to u201CFu201D in TCODE OKG3. BUT during WIP calculation the system create error message KJ 363 which require that results analysis key must be change to u201CZu201D
How can I resolve my problem?

Hi,
I don't have the answer if the requirement is that even after producing the materials, till the time accountant checks the order and does this action, it should remain in WIP. Honestly it doesn't make any sense to me or i have not understood this problem. Anyways as per my current understanding I can suggest the following process for your scenario.
Once production is stopped in between the process, the order should be in PDLV status (partial confirmations happened in the order)
Now go and clear the reservations manually from the production order .( delete the component line items from the order). Now depending on whether you are following WIP at actual cost, system will post the difference between credit and debit of that production order as WIP for the month end process.
Once Accountant okays the entries in the production order, he can do the TECO and settle the order. Now WIP will be reversed and variance will be posted.
To avoid the already produced goods mixing up with your other stock, u might want use Quality Management with the help of your PP consultant.

Actual activity price calculation for production order

Hi
Can any one guide me in how many ways we can assign actual activity price calculation for production order?
I knew only one way by assigning PPP2 costing variant?
I have another doubt is: if we don't mention any material valuation indicator (moving average, standard) in valuation variant, how system will calculate material prices? is there any other way, to recognize the prices by system?
regards,
Ramesh B

Dear,
Costing variant PPP2 is linked to some valuation variant inn OPL1
System will check the valuation of material and activity according to this valuation variant
For material valuation there are many stg acceding to which system will take the price the raw material,
Valuation strategy for material component
Strategy sequence that determines the valuation of the materials used in the cost estimate.
Use
The materials are valuated using the price in the material master record or the values calculated in a material cost estimate.
Procedure
You can enter a single strategy, or you can enter multiple strategies in the form of a strategy sequence. If you enter multiple strategies, the priority of the strategy determines what price or what values are selected.
Examples
Assume that the following strategy sequence is entered for material valuation:
1. Planned price 1
2. Standard price
3. Moving average price
If the system finds a value in the Planned price 1 field (costing view), this value is taken as the value for valuating the material.
If the system does not find a value, the value in the Standard price field (accounting view) is used.
If the material does not have a standard price, the system uses the value from the Moving average price field.
if you have not mentioned, then system will give error that "valuation stg not found"
Valuation strategy for internal activities and processes-
Strategy sequence that determines how internal activities and processes are valuated in costing.
Use
The activities and business processes used are valuated with the prices from Cost Center Accounting or Activity-Based Costing to determine the production costs or process costs. The prices can either be calculated iteratively through price calculation, or entered manually by the user.
Procedure
You can enter either a single strategy or more than one strategy in the form of a strategy sequence. If you enter more than one strategy, the priority of the strategy determines which price is selected.
Examples
The following strategy sequence is entered:
1. Actual price of the previous period
2. Plan price of the previous period
3. The most current plan price
If the system finds a price for the activity type, this price is used for valuating the internal activities. If no price was calculated for the previous period, the plan price from the previous period is used to valuate the activity type.
If the system cannot find a plan price for the previous period, it looks for a future plan price, using the next price in the posting period to valuate the internal activities. For example, if plan prices have been entered for periods 2 and 3, and a plan price is calculated in period 1 for period 4, the system uses the price from period 3 in accordance with the valuation strategy Most up-to-date plan price.
Again if you have not mentioned, then system will give error that "valuation stg not found".
You can use any costing variant for actual (PPP2)and planned(PPP1) according to your requirement.. check in OPL1

Avoid variance calculation on product order

Hi experts,
i have a question. We have a material with cost estimate with quantity structure, cost estimate is release. All cost components in cost component structure are in inventory valuation. On the product order are then target costs. When material is producing, one component of BOM (cost element XXX) is not consumption on product order. When i start variance calculation, SAP calculate variance to this one component (cost element XXX) and by settlemnet of order, posting variance to FI. But this thing i don´t want. It is possible prohibit calculation of variance for this component of BOM - cost element XXX on product order? It is possible prohibit settlement this variance to FI? What i can do for it?
Thanks a lot,
Gustavo

Hi,
i must settlement product order, so i need variance calculation. So can i settlement variances to FI only for some components of BOM and one variances of one component leave on procuct order? Or can i settlement variances of one component of BOM to other cost centrum than others components (alternatively under other cost elements)? Maybe substition.... If yes, how?
Thanks a lot,
Gustavo

WIP calculation for Prod.order with status DLV

Dear experts,
Is there any way to change WIP calculation method for Prod.order status ?
In t-code OKGC:: By default system will set:
Order status      Status number         RA type
REL                          2                             WIP Calculation on Basis of Actual Costs
DLV                          3                            Cancel Data of WIP Calculation and Results Ana
PREL                  1                            WIP Calculation on Basis of Actual Costs
TECO                  4                            Cancel Data of WIP Calculation and Results Ana
I can not change any thing in t-code OKGC (gray after insert: CO, RA version, RA key).
As I understanding: Prod.order with status DLV will not be considered to calculate WIP.
But I want to calculate WIP for Prod.order with status DLV. Could you pls guide me how to configure the system?
Thank you!

Hi,
I suppose it is positive variance as the yield from the order is 10 pieces more than the planned quantity of 1000 and it is always a variance and no WIP involved in this case. It can be settled to FI/PCA and to CO-PA by variance categories (if you have configured accordingly)
Therefore the accounting entry would be:
1. Delivery to stock of 10 pieces:
FG Debit
Change in Stock Credit
2. Variances will post the difference:
Change in Stock Debit
Price Difference is Credit
Concerning the valuation method it needs to be tested before it can be implemented.

Report for Production orders with name of Customers

Dear Expert,
Kindly suggest to view the production orders with customer numbers for which the sales orders is created.
I tried in MB51 with layout settings but the customer number comes out be blank despite the sales order number is populated for an production order.
Kindly suggst a way or any report in the system to get the corresponding information of production order number and corresponding customer name mentioned in the sales order .
Thanks in advance for your help and inputs..
Best regards,
Nitish jain

Nitish,
MB51 is a Material Document list. Many production orders exist that have no entries in this report, so it would be an unlikely candidate to be a solution for your requirement..
The standard production order reporting tool is COOIS. The output for MTO orders can be configured to display Sales order and Item and Soldto.
Obviously, displaying even the customer order number in COOIS is impossible in a MTS scenario.
In addition, a user experienced in using SAP Query (SQVI or SQ01/SQ02/SQ03) could also create a production order report without having to know ABAP, by properly linking tables AFKO, AUFK, AFPO (production order data) with VBAK (sales order header data) to get customer number, and KNA1 to get customer name..
If you are not expert in SAP Query, I suggest you discuss this requirement with a local ABAPer.
If you are feeling like educating yourself in the wonders of SAP query, try this doc. Although old, SAP query hasn't changed very much since this document was written.

Error when doing GR for production order with serial number

I'm not familiar with serial number and equipment management but I'm trying to help my user resolve this issue.
This product is returned from customer site.
I saw that this material is being reset in IQ02 from status in warehouse to become Available when the material is consumed in the production order via 261 movement type. So now the status is available. Then the user went to change a new serial number. Later, GR for production order is done in MB31. Errors are encountered when prompted to enter the new serial number.
Configurations XX01 and XX02 are different
Message no. CX126
Configuration of serial number SN02 incompatible with document item
Message no. IO226

Hi..
Can you please explain in detail, I facing same problem, while assigning unrestricted stock to sales order.

Error in cost calculation for production order

Dear All,
I got error of cost calculation while release of Production Order due to price of some material is not mantain .
What will happen if I release , save the Order with error & do Good Issue ???
Ishwar

Dear Ishwar,
Check the log's created for costing and rectify the same.
I feel its better to rectify the cost related errors and then release the production order and proceed to Good's Issue.
Check whether there is a MAP for all the Raw-materials and an origin group in costing 1 view.
The Finished product must be having a standard cost estimate that's valid for the current period.
Revert back in case of any more help needed.

Report for production order with actual and target cost for each

Hi
Is there any report that gives me the list of all production orders in a month with its respective actual and target costs?
I can use COOIS to get a list of production orders, then double click on the prod order, then click on goto and then to cost analyis.. but can i avoid going through all this and get a report with the details i need?
thanks in advance

Thanks a lot for that.
I'm a little confused with the columns in the report.
Which columns should I keep for my requirement? -
Production Order
Total Target Cost
Total Actual Cost

Manual Reservation for Production orders with automatic reservations

Hello SAP Experts, i have a question regarding Order Reservations, in my company when we create a Production order the reservations for each component are created automatically and assinged to a reservation number, the thing is when i try to create a Reservation through MB21 for the same Production order the system says that" for that type of production order i cant generate manual reservations", can you please guide and tell me if i can change this in the configuration ?? , if you need additional info please tell me , thank you in advance.

Dear German,
Your system working according to std SAP setting, u don't need to change any config setting. Because wehn u release order, it automaticaly genarates reservation for each and evry component of the order.
when u do goods issue to order or to reservation either way it gets issue to the order.
suppose if u need to issue any extra component to the order u can just add in order componet overview before u release the order. so reservation gets genarated for this componets too along with BOM components.
In case afer release, if u need further components go to MB1A give mov type 261 and S.Loc and then click on new item push button, it pop ups one more window give all required parameters and post the goods. These goods issue will also gets updated in the order.
But for the order uc an not manually create the reservations

Restrict Automatic serial number calculation for Production order release

Hi,
I need the solution for following requirement.
Release production order(CO02) . Then go to Menu header-> Serial Numbers.
Here I am getting serial numbers automatically as the material used in production order is set for automatic serial number calculation.
But I want to restrict automatic serial number assignment based on production order type.
If order type is 'XYZ', I dont want to calculate serial numbers automatically.
Can anyone tell me how to do it?
Regards,
Manan Desai.

When you press Release Order button the BADI 'WORKORDER_UPDATE->AT_RELEASE' will be called.
At this point the internal tables for Serial numbers are filled by the program automatically.
So call function module 'SERIAL_INTTAB_REFRESH' which will refresh the internal tables for serial numbers generated before teh serial number window pops up.
Also at the BADI 'WORKORDER_UPDATE->AT_SAVE' call the same function module because before this BADI call when you press 'SAVE' the program again checks if automatic serial number is set for that material and if yes then check if no serial numbers are generated then it generates the serial numbers again and fills the internal tables. So clear the internal tables again based on the conditions.
In these BADI's we have access of header information which can be used to check condition.
I hope this will give you better idea.
Thanks for your efforts.
Manan Desai.

External Number range for Production Order with additional logic

Hi gurus,
My requirement is -
I have two products - for my Local and Export
I have made two Order type for local and Export - say LOCL and EXPO
My LOCL order no will start with L and EXPO with E
I can do this with external number range set for each order type..
Now my question is -
My client wants Production Order in this fashion -
L20111------
L is local, 2011 is year, 1 is jan (1 to 9 - Jan to Sept, A - Oct, B- Nov, C - Dec) followed by a serial number
How can we address this in SAP?
Any clues?
Thanks for your suggestion in advance.

Hai,
You need to use User exit for this. kindly contact your ABAP team.

Overhead calculation for production order

Hi,
I configured costing sheet and cost component structure. I have given the overhead rates for materials and production costs also. I have a doubt related overhead calculation.
When i have to actual overhead calculation after CK11N or before CK11N.
Please guide me series of steps
Sateesh Kumar

Hi Sateesh,
Once you execute CK11N or CK40N Overhead is calculated for the material and Save.mark and release standard cost and overhead part of your standard cost.
To apply actual overhead to prodcution order,you should assign costing sheet to production order.once you issue goods to production order,you can run KGI2 transaction to apply overhead to prodcution order and credit to cost center/order/business process.
If this helps,please assign points.
Thanks,
Rau
