Variance key for calculating variance between planned price and actual cost
Hello CO Experts,
I am not following standard cost estimate. I am using price control V for FG. Now I did all the process:
1. Process Order creation
2. Process Order confirmation
3. Template Execution
4. Process Order revaluation
5. Process Order - TECO.
Now when I am running KKS2 (Variance), system is giving following error:
Only remaining var. in version 0 - no target costs for 000001000047
It means system is searching target cost in process order. However, since I didn't executed standard cost, system will populate target cost. Hence my requirement is that the system should calculate variance with respect to planned cost.
Also I have assigned variance key to target version 1. In that assignment, I have selected "planned / preliminary cost" in target cost section.
When I am running KKS2 (variance analysis), system is calculating for both versions. Because of this, it is giving error. There is no input parameter, where I can give specific version.
Please help
Hi Deepak,
For Finished Goods materials if you assigned Price control V (Moving Average) it is irrelevant to run the Standard Cost Estimation.
My earlier client we don't have variance because of the Moving Average Price for Finished Goods.
Please check, It is really required Variance?? If it is required check whether variance key is automatically assigned to Process order or not. (Control Tab)

I need just to know the difference between plan SKF and Actual SKF in business example and when I use one of them.
thanksHi Salaam,
Statistical Key Figure (SKF) is a base to allocate the cost between cost centers. Usually, common cost centers cost should allocate to respective department cost centers on monthly basis.
Some of SKFs are: Calculating floor rent on SFT, Telephone charges on No. of units, and employees head count is with "Each" in SAP.
Apart from Ajay's reply, you can consider the Canteen exp in an organization. Assume Admin, Fin and Mfg departments are getting food services from Canteen. Here, total monthly cost of Canteen exp should be allocated to respective departments. Here, we use SKF as total head count of each department and distribute the cost.
Planned SKF is what you planned on the beginning of a period. (Assume head count was planned as 30 in the month beginning)
Actual SKF is what exactly you consumed over the period. (Actual employees provided canteen services during the month is 25)

Volatile raw material price and actual costing
Hello,
We are investigating the use of material ledger / actual costing in SAP. We have multiple production plants and multiple distribution warehouses that would be modeled as a plant.
We are worried that due to the extreme volatility of our raw material prices and the fact that some of our products have low volume or slow turnover in some warehouses, our cost of goods sold in SAP using material ledger / actual costing will be difficult to explain and not reflective of actual conditions.
For example, if a product is placed in Warehouse A in month 1, receives very little new product in months 2-4, and then we sell a lot of that product from warehouse A in month 4, the cost of those goods will be very close to the month 1 cost. We are worried about how that will affect our cost of goods sold.
We would like to hear from other companies that have similar conditions to see if this really causes any problems using actual costing / material ledger.
Thanks,
JimmyHello,
Thank you for your response. We would like to understand why other companies do not have a problem with this behavior. Our company is concerned that this will reduce visibility of raw material price fluctuations in COGS (and reports that use COGS data), and make it more difficult to explain COGS behavior. Note that we have some reports on COGS data by material.
In our current system, COGS consumes inventory at the average price accross all warehouses.
Thanks,

Link between plan position and master cost center
hi guys,
i have the plan position number and i don't know how to determine the master cost center.
do you now the infotype/table that has the link between the two?
regards,
emiliahi,
thanks for the function.
i know that when a position plan is created it is assign to an org. unit and thus it will inherit its master cost center.
the problem is that more often than not the master cost center of the position plan is changed manually and so it will not match the one of the org unit.
this is indeed an intricate issue -
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
SupriyaDear,
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.

Relation between STD Price and Costing
Hi,
Could anyone explain about the relation between STD Price and Costing & when and where it gets effected.
Points will be rewarded.
RegardsHi ,
Std. Price :-
A constant price at which a material is valuated without taking goods movements and invoices into account.
Costing:-
The value of use of economic goods both tangible and intangible for the creation and sale of goods and services, as well as the acquisition and maintenance of plant and machinery.
A process that calculates the cost of goods manufactured, or the cost of goods sold, in relation to a product or cost object.
The results of costing are used to determine the following information:
Target costs
Variances for materials produced
Contribution margin for materials sold
The costing process is based on the order quantity or the costing lot size in the material master record.

What is the difference between Planning cycle and Delivery cycle?
Hi gurus ,
After created the planning calendar for store , I have the same option value for planning cycle and delivery cycle (planning calendar) in the MRP area data for site specific material master , so what's the difference between these two field ?
Thanks in advance ,
RyanHi,
If you have to deal with more complex situations, you can define a delivery cycle in the material master record in addition to the planning cycle. In so doing, you determine the days on whichthe vendor delivers his goods. The delivery cycle is entered in the material master record as a planning calendar in the Planning calendar field.
You enter a delivery cycle if the delivery date (or the goods receipt date) depends on the day on which you order the goods. For example, you carry out the planning run and place your orders on Mondays and Tuesdays. If you place the order on Monday, the delivery is made on Wednesday, if you wait until Tuesday to place the order, the delivery is not made until Friday
Where as Planning calander is Three character number (numeric or using letters) that specifically identifies a PPS-planning calendar. The difference between Planning calender and delivery cycle is If you have selected the MRP type "MRP" and have set a period lot-sizing procedure according to planning calendar, you enter here which planning calendar is to be used.
If you selected the "time-phased planning" MRP type, the planning calendar that you specify here defines the delivery cycle. This specifies the days on which the vendor delivers the material. You can enter the planning cycle in addition to the delivery cycle -
What is the difference between Planning calendar and Delivery cycle?
Hi gurus ,
For the Planning calendar(MARC-LFRHY) and Delivery cycle(MARC-MRPPP), what is the difference between their functionality ?
I have created the planning calendar by MD25 ,and when I maintain this field in the MRP screen , i found the delivery cycle have the same choose value , so could you make me clear about this ?
Thanks in advance .

Difference between Planning Version and Simulation Version
Hi friends,
What is the difference between Planning Version and Simulation Version?
Thanks,
DebiDebi
There are a lot of threads in this forum that give detailed info about version concept. Also you can refer to help.sap.
Anyways , planning version is the version against which your live cache data is stored. The data against this version is the one that the planners and buyers are going to refer to or use to make their planning and buying decisions. Data against the planning version is nothing but data relevant to the business .
There may be instances where you would like to simulate some scenario. If you want to do trial and error analysis and at the same time if you do not want to impact the actual business data , then you create simulation versions and simulate your scenario.
For example your actual sales orders received for the month of March may be 100 CS. This is the actual number that will be stored against your planning version. Lets say the demand planner wants to find out what will be the impact if there is a sudden bulk demand from a new customer for 500 CS - that is if he wants to do a what - if analysis then he can create a simulation version and try to check the impact .
Thanks

I need to display planned quantity and actual quantity for Plant in quarter
Hi,
I need to display planned quantity and actual quantity for Plant in quarter AND month wise as below.
Q1 Q2 ....... M1 M2 .........................................
PLANT MATERRIAL UNIT PLTY ACTQTY PLTY ACQTY PLTY ACQTY PLTY ACQTY
P1 M1 EA 20 15 30 25 40 35 50 45
P1 M2 EA 20 15 30 25 40 35 50 45
P2 M2 EA 20 15 30 25 40 35 50 45
I will keep plant and material infoobject as row. Can you please suggest how i should design column section to display like above
Regards
Deep.Hi Deep,
Assuming you have an InfoObject for Quarter (say 0CALQUARTER) & Month (say 0CALMONTH), drag the Quarter InfoObject & Month InfoObject below in the Columns. Drag your KFs i.e. Planned Qty & Actual Qty below the Month InfoObject to form a KF structure. If you don't want Qty Unit to be displayed alongside your KFs, use NODIM() function & display Unit in the Rows.

PS - Report on Planned v/s actual cost of the project
Hi,
I have a client requirement on the above subject. In Report S_ALR_87013542, Under actual cost the system is taking both the Revenue and Actual cost booked on the project. Is there any other report wherein the system shows only the actual cost booked on the project so that planned V/s Actual can be compared.
Rgds,
PrasadHi,
You can also refer the report S_ALR_87013543 - Actual/Plan/Variance Absolute/Variance %. This will give the reports based on cost elements. Morever plan cost Vs actual cost can be obtained from Project Infosystem report (CN41/ CNS41).
In fact the report S_ALR_87013533 is a hiecherachical report for plan & actual cost of project.
If the system is calculating wrongly both revenue & actual cost under actual then you need to check Cost elements asignments & value category details.
Hope this will help you.
