Variance is settling to Material
Hi All
This is a MTO Scenario where the difference between target cost and actual cost is settling on the material.
Actual cost is less than the target cost - this variance is settling on the material and thus there is an increase in cost.
Say For Eg. Target cost is Rs 50, Actual cost is Rs 30 (raw materialactivity cost). The variance of Rs 20 is again settling on material and the material is showing actual price as Rs 50 (Raw materialactivity cost+variance)
Actual price should be 30 and not 50.
Rs. 20 is getting posted to FI too as price gain variance.
The settlement rule is - settle 100% to Material.
Is this standard SAP ? Does variance gets settled to Material ? shouldnt it be settled to cost center ?
Material has V (Moving Average Price) Indicator.
COPA Is not activated.

Hi Kyathi,
If the M2O production/process order is for non valuated sales order stock, settlement receiver is SDI (Sales order). if COPA is active, in Sales order, settlement receiver is Profitability segment.
If the M2O is for valuated sales order stock, my understaing is settlement receiver is MAT (material) only. if COPA is active, settlement receiver can also be Profitability segment in addition to MAT. My understanding is that Production order varinaces will not go to Sales Order in this case.
Let m eknow if you need any further details.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi ,
I have Production Order for 1 FG which is having 10 SFG in assembly line and the Production is based on MTS .
During line assembling there was some material consumed against Rework . When settling Production order
the variance is settled in Variance a/c ( GL a/c ) . I dont want to settle this to G/L But want to settle to Material
ie COGS .
example : Production order Qty 10
Cost of FG --- 10 Rs each ( standard cost ) + overheads ( x )
variance Rs 20/-
total Production cost Rs 120 + x
The variance should settle to material ie COGS ie Rs 10 + x / 10 + 2
how to do in SAP ?

Price variance distributed for structured material
Hello,
Where can I customize this option: price variance distributed for structured material?
In question is field DRSEG-XVPAS, I would like to understand how it is influenced.
Iu2019ve tried looking for it but with no results.
Thank you,
Helena
Edited by: helena teixeira on Jul 4, 2008 1:50 PMHi,
Take an easy way, you can go to the PO with t-code ME23N, at tab page PO history of the item detail, you can find the price variance for the item.
Or you can use t-code MB5S to display the multi-POs' price variance report!
Cheers

Dear Friends,
We have the requirement Order settlement to Material. We have check in Allocatioan structure, I could not find material object.
Please help me.
Regards
SreeHi,
Please check the following
Which order type you are using and which settlement profile is assigned to it. To check it, please use KOAL T Code. Now double click on Order Type and check which Settlement profile is assigned? Now to check that settlement profile go through the following path
IMG > Controlling > Internal Orders > Actual Postings > Settlement > Maintain Settlement Profiles
Click on Settlement Profile. Now check that settlement profile which is assigned to that order type.
Now check the Default Object Type. it must be MAT and also check Valid Receivers.
I hope you will to come how MAT comes from.

Settlement of material on Project
Hi
How WBS settle on material ? as per my knowledge material can not settle on project WBS or network order and it only settle on production order. Is it right way to settle material on project or it is not possible. when I maintain settlement rule receiver as material system throw error message material receiver only in production order as in prerequisite settlement profile I maintain material as receiver. can any one focus on above issue.
RegardsHi Pramila
Thats correct... Material as settlement receiver is only possible for Prod Order.. You can not settle WBS on a material...
You can create a prod order in relation to WBS.. All costs posted on production order... Later on when you settle the prod order, it gets settled onto material and the stock from production order gets assigned against the WBS element
Thats the way it works....

Accounting entry - WIP, Variance Calculation & Settlement of Production Orders
Hi All,
Please explain the process of WIP calculation, variance and settlement of production orders. At each stage will there be an accounting entry generated?
1. WIP calculation: All production orders for which the status is REL at the month end will be included in WIP calculation. How the amount of WIP is derived and what will be the accounting entry.
2. Variance calculation: Production order needs to have the status TECHO in order to do the variance settlement. Will there be an accounting action and how the amount will be calculated?
3. Settlement of Production Orders: Dr. WIP A/c (Balance Sheet a/c)
Cr. Volume Variance WIP a/c (P&L Account)
Is this the correct accounting entry? If yes, please advice how the WIP a/c is showing balance on settlement of production order, how it will get nullified? If no, please advise on the correct process?
RegardsDear Andy
In product cost by order scenario the WIP or Variance calculation is dependent on order status. If the Order has a status of REL or PDLV, the system will calculate WIP and if the order status is DLV or TECO the system will calculate variance on this order. At the time of calculation of WIP or Variance no accounting entry i generated but when you settle the order at that time FI documents are passed in the books.
Ans1- In product cost by order WIP or variance is calculated based on the actual cost debited to the order and value of GR made to the order. System does calculation by the formula GR value-(GI value+Activity value+ Overheads)
Ans2- As I said at the time of calculation no FI entries are passed but at the time of settlement FI entries are generated. The method of calculation is the same as described in Ans1.
Ans3- Entry at WIP settlement WIP (P&L) a/c Dr and WIP Offsetting(B/S a/c) Cr.
Entry at variance settlement : Variance a/c dr/cr and COGM cr/dr.
and if there is already a WIP posted for this order then at settlement WIP entry is reversed provided we have calculated WIP again the the month of settlement of variance
Note for Anand: Dear Anand we need to calculate WIP again in the period when the order status is changed to DLV or TECO otherwise system will not pass reversal entry of WIP. Kindly test it in your IDES and let me know if you find something on the contrary.

Can NewGL handle the Variance category settlements to different accounts
We are on ECC 5.0 version. Currently when a process order is closed, settlement posts the variance to the standard to a single G/L account. The variance is the total of all variances to standard, fixed (O/H), variable (material), waste, etc.
Is it possible to see these categories of variance post to different G/L accounts under "NewGL"?
Best regards
Raj UnaHello
It is not possible to post the variances to different GL accounts. However for analysis you can take the different variances to different COPA value fields.

Settlement for Material that has Co-Product
Hi people,
I have a main material that has 3 co-products.
In the transaction: COR2 in settlement rule, we have put the % for each product (for the main product and his co-products).
When I execute the transaction CO8B to (preliminary settlement for co-procuts) the system run ok, but until this time, nothing was to the inventory.
So I thought that when we executed the transaction KO88, the amount will go to the inventory in the main produtc, but it didn´t happened.
Maybe i did some thing wrong.
Could you help me how I can make the settlement to show the value in the main material?
Thanks.Hi,
Check the Apportionment structure in the Main material master, I think you should have given Equivalence number for the main and all the 3 co products.
Same ratios will be taken up in the Process order too. you are not required to give %.
Just check whether this is in place.
CO8B is the transaction code to divide the cost on the Process order in the ratio mentioned to all the Products. But this will not flow the cost to the Inventory.
Once you do the above transaction, then the cost on the Process order is divided among the Main and Co products.
Then you execute KO88, it only settles either the WIP or the variance on the order to FI. But Inventory is increased when you do GR
Hope this helps.
Thanks & Regards,

Clear GR/IR Variances that settles to a closed capex
Hi,
I have an issue. We need to clear a GR/IR variance. Account maintenance was already done last year but the GR/IR variance still appears. Now we want to clear it using MR11 or F.13 or F-03. The problem is , this PO is assigned to a work order that settles to a capex which we do not want to re-open.
How do we solve this?
Thanks ,
Jogradin F-03 you can selec the line item which needs to be cleared & click on the charge off difference & post to another P& L account. The GR/IR line item will be cleared off.

Production order variances not updating in material master
We have activated Material ledger-
Price determination selected-2(transaction based)
Finished goods standard price--832.50
Price control in material master-S (Standard Price)
Variances per kg: 265.50 is shown in Moving Price field in Material master-
Why it is not adding to standard Price-
How to add 265.50 per kg(variance) and increase the Finished goods valuation (in the balance sheet)
Thanks in advance
Joseph DavidHi,
After activating ML, if you maintain FG Material Price Control-S with Price Determination-2, the shown Moving Average price is ONLY FOR STATISTICAL/reporting PURPOSE, The goods movements and Material Inventory valuation will not be updated/valuated with Moving Average Price, it will still be done as per Standard Price only. If you want to get the full advantage of ML activated realistic/actual valuation of your inventory and goods movements, you need to change the Material Price Determination to u201C03u201D. Then as per SAP standard ML process, preliminary valuation for the material will be u201CStandard Priceu201D and all Price differences will be accumulated in ML categories and after period/month-end activities, the goods movements and inventory will be evaluated with u201CPeriodic Unit Priceu201D i.e., averaging by taking into consideration all Material Price differences.

Settlement to Material Based on Grade
Hi guys,
Our client has the following requirement:
Suppose that they have 2 material code: X and Y, both are the same material, but are separated based on grade (quality).
Both use the same BOM and routing. Initially, when creating production order, material X will be created.
Now, their requirement is that they want the FOH to be allocated only for material X (first grade material), and the material Y will not get any FOH.
How can we achieve this in controlling?
I am thinking of utilizing source structure for this, but to my knowledge it is only available in CRM.
Please kindly suggest
Thank you very much in advance
BR, ErwinHi,
That is interesting, but that means that we have to create a material number for Y.
Actually, when we approach the by product concept, i am thinking of using the fixed by-product cost feature.
Variance and cost wise, i think this fixed by product cost feature is good enough, but i think that it will still need further testing.
However, i still am not sure about the impact of by product to material ledger since material ledger with price determination 3 is active in our client.
Thank you for your response
Best Regards,

Refurbishment settlement to material
Hi Experts,
I have done a Refurbishment process cycle for a material with condition based valuation type(DEF type to REP type) and I have done TECO.
Stock quantity is getting updated when I do GR (IW8W). But the Moving average price remains the same to all material in that valuation type(REP).
I want to settle the order cost (labor + components) to same material and get the moving average price to be adjusted.
Please advice me to correct this issue.
Thanks in advance,
Babu.KHi
Refurbishment will not happen from MM. It happens via asset management. Service/material purchase orders should be created with reference to concern asset with account assignment category A.

Production Variance after Settlement
Hi All,
We are facing an issue. Following Transaction is done on Production Order
Transaction Ttl actual
Goods Issues 32,325.47
Confirmations 7,992.00
Goods Receipt -40,317.47
Settlement -38,985.47
Variance in Balance of Production Order -38,985.47
As the settlement is already done but still there is Balance in Production Order..i have checked the WIP also but it is showing ZERO but -38,985.47 USD in WIP (Period)
Please help me.
Thanks!
Regards,
VivekHi Ajay,
Thanks for your reply.
In my case we have few Production Order's where the WIP(Period) is in -ve for ex. -6000 USD and the Order balance shows the amount 0.93 USD.
So when we are executing settlement system is setteling the Order by 6000 and it increases the Order Balance. So I am not able to find why this is happening?
We raised an OSS message also in this regard, but SAP is very slow in repsonse.
Please help me if you have any idea why this is happening.
Thanks!!

Hi All,
Should material used in PM orders settle to a Primary or secondary cost element?
I had a disagreement with the MM consultants and want to know what is the right way of doing this.
ThanksHi,
I think you are talking about settlement of the actual cost incurred when you consume a material using a PM order.
Generally PM orders are settle to the receiver as cost center , which is the CO process. However you can settle to G/L a/c, WBS , Orders etc. So when a cost element carries cost with in CO is secondary cost element and when a cost element carries cost between FI and CO are primary cost element.
Hope I think It may be helpful to you.
