Variant Configuration Cost in Sales Order

Can you let me know what is the standard way to cost Variant configured items in the sales order?  for standard item costs, we use VPRS, but for Variant items, the costs vary depending on the variant characteristics selected.  Sales Price is controlled by Variant Pricing...but i wanted to know how Cost for these Items should be set up as a best practice.  Some place explode the BOMs into the Sales Order - but some characteristics are not Materials per say.  Thanks.

Hi Nhu,
Welcome to SCN.See suppose you created sales BOM. In general the sales bom will explode and appear in sales order.Here we consider only main material only.

  • How to hide variant configuration screen in sales order

    Hi Friends,
    Could you please help : how to hide variant configuration screen in sales order for a configured material
    Ranjan

    Hi
    The very purpose of VARIANT CONFIGURATION is to for this material these are the characteristics available
    In this you choose one characteristic then these are the values available
    If you make a choice then this is the price
    Means Maruthi car is the product
    Say 800
           Alto
           Zen
    These are characteristics
    In this you choose say black, cherry red, white these are the values
    When you put a sales order for Maruthi car then if it is 800 black colour then price is X
    if it is 800 white colour then price is y
    So that according to the choice of the customer the pricing and other details are fetched
    Why do you want to defeat the very purpose of VARIANT CONFIGURATION
    Rather than listing out of the whole product list the system simplifies the thing
    Without that popup variant configuration is meaningless

  • Variant Configuration Description in Sales Order

    Hi All,
    We have configured Variant Configuration.
    During Sales Order Processing on Condition Tab the in Name  of Condition Type (Field VTEXT) instead of condition type the system is reflecting the description of Variant.
    We want the description of Condition Type & not of variant. Can any one guide how the same cvan be done.
    Regards
    Mahendra

    First, you are talking about VA00 or VA01 condition types, correct?
    These work different then other condition types, in a sales document they will display the name of the variant (you defined) that matches your config, characteristic-value(s).
    This is Option-based pricing. it is working by design. If you don't want these to show in the procedure then don't define them. you can sum up all values in the configurator then just have one Variant with a "dummy" name and pass that back to the price condition

  • Custom ATP Check using Variant Configuration Data in sales order

    I have a requirement to modify the standard SAP ATP check by including the variant configuration data entered on a item.  Standard SAP does not use/include the characteristics data when doing the ATP. None of the available user exits would allow me to do this.
    The scenario is the client has a configurable product that exist in inventory as one item, base unit as IN2.  The batches that exist in inventory have the characteristics of width and length.  The order data specifies a width and a length, they need the ATP to identify the availability based on the characteristics of the batch.
    The solution was to present the user with a list of batches based on the characteristics that meet the criteria.  The user would then have the option of choosing one of the batches which would mean that the line item would include the batch #.  If the user does not want any of the batches, they could choose to select a Make to Order option, which would change the item category of the item, so that it creates a production order upon saving the order.
    The problem I am having implementing this solution is I have not been able to identify the internal table(s) that contains the characteristics data in SAPMV45A after the configuration screen is called.  If anyone knows where that information is during the sales order processing, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello Jean,
    Have you managed to find a solution as yet? I know you have not received any replies but am hoping you were able to resolve the problem as we are facing the exact issue on our project.
    Please let me know,

  • Variant Configuration Error in sales order

    Hi,
    Done the customization for variant. Raised sales order & selected the characteristics like colour--Red & engine--200cc for material & checked in item level condition its showing the 2 characteristic 100cc & 200cc engines but not the characteristics colours. Maintained condition record & condition type in pricing procedure.
    I have 2 issues
    1) In Sales Order  I selected only characteristic engine 200cc  & why it is showing another characteristic 150cc also in Item level conditions.
    2) Why it is not showing the Colour characteristic Red in conditions.
    Looking for the experts answer
    Regards
    Pradeep

    Hi,
    Variant configuration is as per my knowledge its a case sensitive. Please maintain all the variants and character in CAPP letter and do the same during formula writing also.
    During creation of Condition record maintain with CAPPs letter only.
    Thanks,
    Neo.

  • Variant configuration statistics of sales order and billing document

    Is there any transaction that allow me to get statistics from the sales orders and billing document for configurable materials ? (like VA05) better if using the values of the characteristics that make up the positions of order.
    Thera are any information from "Sales Information System" using LIS?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    With LIS, we'll find different infostructures.
    See this link to configure LIS reports :
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/c1/375723449a11d188fe0000e8322f96/frameset.htm
    Using many infostructures before to see sales analysis.
    Another solution :
    In sales order (by user exit), copy characteristics in new fields in VBAP.
    Then, you can use these fields in VA05 (add user exit) or new ABAP report.

  • ADDDITIVE COST FOR PRODUCT COST BY SALES ORDER SCENARIO.

    Dear friends,
    We are using costing for sales order & we have maintained the costing variant under the path IMG> Controlling> Product Cost Controlling> cost object controlling> Product cost by sales order >premliminary costing & order based costing>product costing for sales order costing>Costing variant for Product costing >Check costing variant for product costing.
    Under this we have maintained the Costing variant, Now we need to have Additive cost. But didnt found the tab in the costing variant where as when we check in T.code OKKN which is a part of Product cost planning we can find the Additive cost tab.
    How to run addtive costing run for Product cost by sales order scenario & please guide me with one example.
    Or else is there any configuration where we can assign standard costing variant PPC1 instead of Costing variant SOC1 ( which is a costing variant of Product cost by sales order.
    Please guide me
    regards,
    Sandeep

    Hi Sandeep,
    You may please try using Unit Costing for Sale Order.
    It is over an above the sale order costing you have done. So in case you want to post any additional known cost, you may do the unit costing for the sale order after the sale order costing.
    Trust this helps

  • Product costing valuated sales order stock

    Hi all,
    We are in complex mfg & currently re-vamping all the ERP SAP instances ( totalling 13 company codes into one single)
    All 13 units( who use NON Valuated scenarios for cost object controlling) wil use valuated sales orders & projects. The old 13 companies will be trated as profit centers with transfer pricing functionality ( Multiple valuations)
    My issue is to get a product cost for sales order in <b>profit center view</b> ( plan cost) exactly same as to the marked standard cost itemisation of the FERT material.
    We mark & release the std cost in Jan & the client wants to have the same itemisation of the cost ( with same values) even if they create a sales order in 2nd or 3rd or last quarter. ( As you might be knowing that the sales order wil always cal;culate the values as per the current qty structure date. In Std SAP date control, there is nothing which allows us to cost exactly the same cost estimate as marked & released in JAn)
    Could somebody pls give pointers as how to get this sales order plan cost itemisation exactly equal to prevously marked & released itemisation ?
    We use the Std costing variant ( Costing Type = Profit center valuation) with Std date control.
    Thanks in advance to all of you,
    Warm Regards

    Hi,
    If the sales order stock is valuated, you have immediate access to its value in Financial Accounting. The assigned accounts are debited and credited as a result of the valuated goods movements. From the viewpoint of MRP, the sales order stock is available for the sales order only.
    If the sales order stock is not valuated, it is managed via a cost collector. The system does not carry out invoice verification postings for goods movements, and you cannot obtain an overview of how the stock is valuated until the end of the settlement period in Controlling.
    Valuated sales order stocks have the following advantages:
    The full costs are available at each manufacturing level.
    All goods movements are immediately reflected in Financial Accounting

  • Product Costs by Sales Order - Settlement Options?

    Hello All -
    I am trying to understand if I need to settle to a sales order (SDI) or directly to material (MAT) or to COPA (PSG).
    If i look at my sales order, it has item category ZPSF, which product costs by sales order configuration shows a requirement class ZKE.  ZkE has a valuation of M, which means separate valuation of reference to sales document/project.
    Does this mean I need to settle to sales order first?
    Then i run vA88 to settle sales order to copa?
    if ZKE valuation is blank, does that mean its not valuated?  I have read on other sap help pages that means it is valuated.  Please clarify.
    also, when does one directly settle to MAT? what scenarios?  this confuses me.
    Thanks!
    Emmas

    I'll give this a try. When working in a make-to-order environment there are 2 settings in the requirments class that you must consider in determining how to settle the costs (and maybe the revenue as well).  The first setting is the account assignment category.  In the standard system "E" is used to designate the sales order as a cost collector.  "M" is used to if you don't want the sales order to be a cost collector.  Whether the sales order is a cost collector or not will determine your settlement options. 
    The second critical field is the valuation setting.  If you set it to "M" then the stock assigned to the sales order will be valuated (by valuated I mean that once the goods are produced they will be held in inventory as sales order stock with a value).  If you leave the valuation field blank then the stock assigned to the sales order will be held in inventory without a valuation. 
    If the sales order is not a cost collector then the cost to manufacture the order will be collected in your production order and the settlement rule for the production order will be to the material you are producing.  Since the material has a valuation, the costs collected in the production will be reduced by the material's valuation once it is received into finished goods inventory.  Any remaining costs are settled to wip or variance based on the production order's status and the RA key and variance key settings.
    If you have set the sales order as a cost collector then the production order costs can either settle to the finished material or to the sales order.  If you are using valuated sales order stock you would normal have the costs settle to the material and the production order would behave very much like the previous example.  If you are not using valuated stock then you would need to settle the costs to the sales order and all the production costs would accumalte in the sales order.
    If you are using the sales order as a cost collector than you will probably want to settle the sales order as well.  During the sales order settlement you have the option of settling the cost and revenue assigned to the sales order to COPA.  The settlement profile along with the RA key assigned to the sales order controls how these are settled.

  • Product costing by sale order

    Dear all,

    Hi,
    Product cost by sales order is useful when  a finished product is manufactured  for a specific customer rather than for the normal make-to-stock inventory. You can use the Product Cost by Sales Order component in the following situations:
    When you are manufacturing in-house with reference to a sales order in complex make-to-order production
    When you are purchasing customer-specific trading goods with reference to a sales order and reselling them to your customers
    When you are providing services whose costs are assigned to a sales order
    When you want to collect the sum of the actual costs incurred for the sales order item on the sales order item (standard cost of goods manufactured of sales plus variances) For detailed information, refer to the sections Valuated Sales Order Stock and Settlement in Product Cost by Order or Period.

  • How to keep the same cost in Sales order and return order?

    Hi experts,
    When I create a sales order with item cost 100 USD.
    Then the cost of item changed and down to 90 USD.
    When I do goods return refer to the sales order. How can I keep the same cost (VPRS) 100 USD but not 90 USD?
    I made a test the cost in sales order is 100 USD but 90 USD in return sales order.
    I want the cost in return sales order is 100 USD.
    How can I do?
    Thanks,
    Lance

    Hi,
    Let me tell u my understanding of your requirement, after the sales the cost of the item is changed to some thing low than it was in sales order or invoice, in this scenario you need to transfer the cost of the material as it is in the sale order or invoice (which you are taking as reference to create a Return Order), am i right?
    If so, you can proceed like this.
    In the copy controls of Billing to Sales orders ( F2 to RE) we have the pricing type N assigned to it ( Transfer pricing components unchanged, New Cost) here the system is reading the change of the cost again from the material master. if you don' t want it to read the material master data again we can have a change try with pricing type 'D'  (Copy Pricing elements unchanged), and try now.
    let me know the result.
    hope this will solve your problem.
