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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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,

Variance Calculation for Prod order

Deal All
I have problem when run prod order variance calculation (KKS2) for period 8 why the order for period 9 is also calculated ?
why this happen ?
Thanks and regards

Hi Aditya
The program is designed in a way that all open prod orders are considered in it.. however, variance will not be calculated on it
For eg: You calculate Var in 009 for period 008.. Prod order created in fag end of 008 and processing started in 009... During var cal, system will give an error for this prod order saying "Only rem variances can be calculated for it" or some error of that sort
you can ignore this error... I got a note released from SAP for this error.... however, that note is under reconstruction now and hence not available
You can raise an OSS msg mentioning note no 1320759 and ask them when it will be available again

Error while calculating variances for production order

Hi Gurus,
while calculating variances for production order i am getting the following error
"Cannot calculate scrap variances" ( Error message)
" no standard value estimate for material" (Warning message"
A standard cost estimate exists for the material at the date mentioned in the error in released status.
Please give solution for the error.
Thanks in advance n Regards
Arul.

Is there an itemization, generated for the cost estimate used to calculate the target costs?
Does the material components listed in the BOM of the cost estimate used to calculate the target costs, assigned to the operations in which they are used. Otherwise it is not possible to correctly report the variances and scrap when operations are confirmed.
Does the order for which the variances are calculated have a valid variance key. ?
Does the order have the status DLV (delivered) or TECO (technically completed). If the status was withdrawn, any variances and scrap variances are canceled.

Periodic cost settlement for production order

Hello All,
Please explain me can we do Periodic cost settlement for production order in discrete manufacturing. If yes, how?
Thanks & Regards,
Alok Tiwari

WIP entry gets passed to accounts if the order is not in DLV or TECO status.
or else variance gets calculated.
Two GLs which gets hit are
Change in stock a/c Dr.
To Inventory Price Difference a/c Cr. or vice versa......

KKS2 can't calculate the variance in the production order

We have some simi-finished product orders. All these simi-finished products were produced in previous period and got receipted into the warehouse. However, for some reason we don't know, there are still some cost balance remain in the orders themselves, although they had been settled in previous period.
So far I only found these simi-finished products were not maintained with Variance Keys.
So I maintained the variance keys for the orders. however, it doesn't work, when I run KKS2 to calculate the variance in the order, the order's Target Costs, Actual Cost and Allocated Actl Costs are all zero. So the variance are zero. In fact, that order's variance are -123.8, for example. Since the variance calculated by KKS2 is zero, there is no reference for KO88 to settle this order. The variance -123.8 will always remain in the order.
I can't close these orders for the cost balances are not zero.
Anyone could give me some suggestions to settle the variance?
Thanks,
Jim
best regards.

Hi
Because the var keys were not existing on the order, it did not calculate the variance... However, once you maintain them in the order, KKS2 should prove successful... Did you calculate the variance in the correct period after maintaining the variance keys?
How many such orders are there and whats the balance on these orders?
Note that, to settle variance to FI, it is not necessary to calculate variance in KKS1/2... KKS1/2 only helps you to settle variance to COPA.... Your FI will still be updated with variance, even if you do not caluclate KKS1/2
So, if the no of cases and the amount involved is not much, you can think of executing KO88 for them and then manually update values in COPA for these orders for record type C... However, keep this as a last option.... Ideally, once you maintain variance keys, variance should get calculated

Actual Costs for Production Order

Hi All
I have a scenerio where they dont want any product costing methods say WIP,Variance calculation & Settlement.
When the Goods receipt is done for production order the actual costs and the Activity costs to be valuated.
Regards
Jayshankar.A

Hi,
In our case the Standard price is updated in the material master. For this, you need to create a costing estimate using T-Code CK11N and update & release in CK24.
When CK11N is executed the standard price is calculated for the material by taking Moving Avg Price of RM (Price indicator V) and the activity costs are calculated as per data given in KP26. These cost components are added and a final cost estimate is prepared, which is updated using T Code CK24.
the pre-requisites are:
1. BOM should be maintained.
2. Routing should be made.
For executing the same procedure for all the materials, you can use T Code CK40N.
Hope this is what you were looking for.
Revert for further details.

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.

Run MRP for production order/maintenance order has been release

Hi all,
please tell me how to configure for running mrp for production order/maintenance order has been release. as you know, i want production order has not release will not appear in MD04. I think that is the way for running mrp will not take care about this production order has not release
Thanks all

Hi Hoai,
It is impossible to exclude production order from net requirement calculation in MRP run. You may take a look at the online documentation under the PP-MRP area.
Material Requirements Planning (PP-MRP)
   Planning Process
     Net Requirements Calculation
       Net Requirements Calculation for MRP
But there is a way to temporarily exclude production order from MRP. That is you can set the 'delivery completed' indicator in 'Goods receipt' Tab in in production order. Please note that this order will not appear in MD04. Actually to some degree, this order could be considered as completed because ticking the indicator could set status 'DLV' for the order. But you still can execute confirmation, goods issue and goods receipt activities. This way is just a workaround. You may
consider it.
Or maybe you can consider the useage of BADI: MD_CHANGE_MRP_DATA to change the MRP run data to see if this could fulfill your requirement.

Rachel
