Varinace analysis by cost element

Hi!
My client is asking for variance analysis report by cost elements with target quantity,actual quantity,target cost and actual cost.
we have a standard report KKBC_ORD, but it will show for each order, client is asking for more than one production order i.e production order range.
is there any standard report available? if not what are the tables to use for preparing abap report?
regs,
ramesh

Hi Ramesh
I guess what you are looking for is KKBC_HOE
You need to set up a hierarchy in KKR0 designing it like: Comp Code > Plant > Material Type > Material > Prod Orders.... This way you can group your Prod orders under respective Material or Mat Group or Plant etc
Periodically you need to run KKRC once Period end closing is done... Then Execute KKBC_HOE using your hierarchy created
Note that After running KKRC data gets frozen and unless you run KKRC again next month, it would continue to show you the same data

Results Analysis Settle Internal Order (from CRM) - No cost element allowed

In SPRO results analysis configuration to "Define Posting Rules for Settlement to Financial Accounting" I am not allowed to use an account with a cost element. (Error: I get error KQ 119 G/L account ### cannot be created as a cost element.)
I configure a G/L account with no cost element. KO88 Settlement posts to G/L account fine; however, does not post to the internal order because the config mentioned on first line does not allow me to use an account with a cost element.
Problem: I am unable to see settlement in KOB1 report because settlement goes to GL Account, but does not post to the internal order.
Failed solution: I tried to use OKC9 substitution at KO88 to substitute the internal order number. The problem is that table AUFKV is empty when the substitution runs at KO88 settlement. I am not able to substitute the order number because the order number isn't even available in the substitution at internal order settlement.
I put a break manual break point in program GBTACCOB at the call to the substitution rule I defined. The breakpoint stops at the substitution when I run KO88 settlement; however, fields are blank. I am unable to do substitution. I know this works because I have a similar substitution on the same internal order for accounting indicator when doing an MB1A goods issue to an internal order. The break point stops there and the AUFKV data is available for substitution rule.
Question:
Any suggested solutions to to have internal order update into KO88 settlement after KKA1 results analysis would be helpfull.

It is more of a reporting issue really.
The problem is that internal order settlement with settlement profile instead of results analysis does post the settlement to the internal order and does use a cost element. This is the business process the users currently have. Our users have a requirement to settle the orders weekly. This helps them find issues earlier and speeds up the month end close.
In the past we could use KOB1 and see the current balance of an internal order and see the settlement. Now that report no longer shows the settlement. How can I see what has been settled on an order and what hasn't now?

How to get Cost element for a component in co03 cost analysis report

Hi,
I'm using table COSP to find the quantity for a production order component. However, I need to identify the cost element first to get the unique data. In CO03 cost analysis report, there is cost element for the component. Does anyone know how to get it ?
Thanks.

CSKA stores the basic info about the cost element
There is no data in CSKB.
I'm trying to use different tables to get the cost element.
AUFK, AFKO, AFPO, RESB, ...but no luck...

Results Analysis cost elements

Hello,
The Results Analysis saves the Results Analysis data under secondary cost elements. These cost elements can be determined thru assignment to Line IDs in the transaction OKG4 (OKGA) u201CUpdate of WIP Calculation and Results Analysisu201D, or they can be determined in the definition of Result Analysis Version (transaction OKG2 or OKG9) in the section u201CCost Elements: Results Analysis Datau201D of the Extended Control.
Could you please tell me when the system saves the Results Analysis data under cost elements specified in OKG4/OKGA and when under cost elements specified in Results Analysis Version in OKG2/OKG9 ? How do you control this?
Best regards,
Robert

Hi Sarada,
thank you for your reply.
However in Results Analysis Version in OKG2 I see the Technical RA Cost Element only in simplified control (Costs Elements Off). In u201CCosts Elements Onu201D control I see the following Cost Elements for Results Analysis Data:
1. Valuated Actual Costs
2. Calculated Costs
3. Capitalized Profit
4. Calculated Revenue
5. Revenue in Excess of Billing
6. Revenue Surplus
When are these cost elements used?
In my KKBC_KUN report I can see some of these cost elements (1 u2013 4), but with 0 values, whereas WIP and COS/Revenue cost elements assigned to Line IDs have positive valuesu2026

Results analysis: any way to exclude certain cost element from calculation?

Hi everyone!
We are implementing Results Analysis for projects. But the client is asking if there is a way to exclude some cost elements of the results analysis calculation. We are using method 07, POC based in the project milestones.
This is why they need this. They say that very often they they have costs higher to what they should be according to the month's billing. So they need to send the corresponding part to a WIP account. But not all the costs. They have internal costs (like the hours of internal resources) and external costs (like materials procurement or external services contracts). They only want to send to WIP the exceeding external costs. But leave all the internal costs in a cost account. So to do this we need to exclude these kind of cost elements (secondary cost elements) from the results analysis calculation. Is there any way to do this? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Thalos.

Hi,
In OKG4, next to Line ID there is a field where you can set "N" which means not to include. Make this settinng for required cost elements / Line ID's and then test the changes.

Results analysis for POC method with statistical cost element

Hi,
We are testing ETO (engineering-to-order) scenario With valuated
project stock and cost based POC RA method.
Inventory is updated during external procurement and we have used
statistical cost elements (Cost element category - 90) for inventory G/L.We want to use a
Result analysis method which considers this statistical cost elements
for calculating POC.For this purpose we have implemented SAP Notes
616960, 616869 and 78420.
In short, as per SAP note 616869, we created a customer enhancement
project for customer enhancement 5 of the results analysis (see Note
H78420). We copied the source code for customer enhancement 5 of the
correction instructions of note 616869 and then implemented SAP note
616960 to read the statistical actual costs.
Then we included the statistical cost as actual costs - Category K in
OKG4.
The system is doing POC and revenue in excess of billing calculation
correctly after taking into consideration the posted statistical cost.
During settlement of RA (CJ88), system is not giving effect to
inventory value. On settlement of RA, revenue should be recognized but
at the sametime the inventory represented by statistical posting should
be consumed(COS). The system should post a P&L posting which reduces
the inventory (representing statistical cost) and updates the actual
costs on settlement.
In our example, Statistical actual
posting is of USD 57150, planned revenue USD 100000 and POC is 70.27%.
Revenue in excess of billing comes to USD 70265.60. Recognisation of
revenue of USD 70265.60 is not correct as actual consumption is yet to
happen. The correct posting in FI should be revenue of USD 70265.60
along with COS of USD 57150.
Please suggest why on settlement the system is not posting the COS
along with revenue recognised?
Thanks,
BK

Hi Bijay,
We are in a similar situation in one project. Did you get any solution to the problem you posted here? If you can share it, please.

Technical Result Analysis Cost element - OKG2

Hi,
Need some inputs on Techincal Result analysis cost element(Whats the purpose and its use)
How is it different from those which we assign in Line ids.
Thanks & Regards,

Cost element created for the following internal purposes:
For calculating work in process ( WIP calculation)
For results analysis
Work in Process
When work in process is calculated, the following data is updated under this cost element:
Valuated actual costs
Calculated costs
For the calculation of work in process, the valuated actual costs and the calculated costs are only used for internal purposes and do not require separate cost elements. All that is needed is a technical results analysis cost element.
Results Analysis
In results analysis, the following results analysis data is updated under this cost element:
Valuated actual costs
Calculated costs
Capitalized profit
Calculated revenue
Revenue in excess of billings
Revenue surplus
Reserves for imminent loss
Creation of reserve
Usage of reserve
Value adjustment
Results analysis data calculated by the
POC method such as:
POC Profit increase
POC Profit decrease
POC Loss creation
POC Loss cancellation
POC Loss realization
Other cost elements
Valuated actual costs for complaints and commissions
Variances in variance calculation for collective orders
The results analysis cost element for the results analysis data is only for internal purposes, so you don't need to create a separate cost element for each piece of results analysis data. You only need a technical results analysis cost element.

Cost elements not being recognized in results analysis

Hi,
I have set up the RA update correctly as shown in this screen shot http://wikisend.com/download/465092/ra_log.JPG however i am not sure why the system still says it cannot find the cost elements assignment. I ran kka1 with full log to see what config parameters the system is considering and what are the cost elements which are still not mapped. The screen shot above is the result of kka1 execution.
If you cannot view the screen shot please see the following of the same KKA1 results :-

Cost Elements in OKG2 (Result Analysis Version)

Dear All,
Can we maintain a Single Cost Element or Can we maintain Different Cost Elements for the Different purpose. What is the necessary we have to maintain the Cost Elements & At what level it picks cost. Can any body share some inputs on ths.
Regards

Hi Raj,
If you check the settings for RA version 0 for CO area 0001 you will find that a single cost element is maintained.
Based on your requirement you may also define different cost elements for different reasons...
eg: You want to track Imminent Losses separately... then you can maintain a different cost element for calculating and posting imminent losses similarly you may want to capture Rev. in Excess of Billing in a separate cost element.
You can create separate cost elements for
Capitalized costs, Reserves for unrealized costs, Reserves for costs of complaints, Reserves for imminent loss, Work in process.
As such based on the requirement you may decide to have a same or different cost elements maintained in here.
When you execute RA (WIP calculation) system will calculate the values and will make a posting to the cost elements maintained in OKG2.
Also you need to maintain Line Id for the cost elements you have maintained here in OKG5.

Sameer

G/L account 59500140 cannot be created as a cost element

Hi Viewers,
When I try to do the KO88 Process order settlement i am getting the below error:
G/L account 59500140 cannot be created as a cost element
Message no. KQ119
Diagnosis
When maintaining the posting rules for passing on results analysis data to Financial Accounting, you entered a G/L account that is defined as a primary cost element in cost and revenue element accounting. This is not allowed. You must enter a G/L account in the posting rules that is not defined as a cost element.
System Response
The entry invalid.
Procedure
You have the following options:
Enter a G/L account for which no cost element is specified in Cost and Revenue Element Accounting.
You can change the message type with user-defined error management (transaction OPR4_KKA). What should be observed when you enter a G/L account in a posting rule that is defined as a primary cost element in Cost and Revenue Element Accounting? You need to define a CO account assignment so that the posting defined in the posting rule can be executed. You do this with transaction OKB9 (default account assignment) or OKC9 (substitution), or using the default account assignment in the cost element master.
I would like to know the GL Account 59500140 is a P&L Account. Is it correct?.
Please help me to overcome from this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Aswin

Execute transaction code FSP0 and check whether the account is a P&L or a Balance Sheet. Nevertheless, you can only enter accounts that are not created as cost elements in customizing transaction OKG8. If you enter an account that is also a cost element, then you need to configure default CO account assignment using OKB9 or a substitution using OKC9. Please refer to the following SAP Notes.

No data found due to cost element adding leading values in report

Hi Experts,
I have an issue where when the run the analyser with some values in variable screen it is displaying the output correctly in analyser tool. I am filtering the cost element with a single value for ex 4545000 and I have kept that in rows . Still the report is working fine. But then when I go back to variable screen and change the input for ex instead of period 3 if I change it to 4 , output is null since the cost element is adding leading values to the existing value in the filter and displaying no result. for ex 4545000 is getting added with controlling area 0050 and its searching for 00500004545000 and since this is not the cost element value its not displaying output..
Any ideas how to rectify this or is it a analyser tool issue..
Thanks in advance

Settle Production Variances to COPA- Cost elements and Value fields

Dear All,
I know this question has been discussed in the past, but I have one specific doubt regarding this topic.:
When assigning cost elements to variance categories in t-code KEI1, how do we figure out what combination of cost elements (in the top half of the screen) constitute Input Price Variance, Scrap variance etc (in the bottom half of the screen)? I know the net of the postings on those cost elements tells us what variances we are looking it, but how do we get the cost elements (group) for let's say, 'Input/Output Quanity Varinace or 'Lot size Variance' ?
Or is this a futile exercise? May be I should just create three types of variances: Labor, Machine and Overhead. And I know what cost elements (net of the postings) would, in total, make up the $ variance in each of those categories. I can then use them in my report painter reports.
Please help clear the fog for me.
Ajay?
Thanks a lot,
Deepak

Hi Deepak,
Welcome to SDN!!
There are 2 ways of updating variances in COPA... I Prefer the 2nd option always...
1. Category wise variances (Input Prc, Usage var, etc) - Here, create a Cost ele group, where in you include all the Cost elements that can be posted to the Prod orders
For the sake of simplicity, you can include Cost elements 1 to 99999999 in the Cost element group...
2. Cost Comp Structure wise variances -
a. Create as many assignment lines in PA Trf Structure as in your Cost Comp Str...
Eg: If your Cost Comp Str in OKTZ has Raw Mat, Labor, Overhead - Create 3 Assignments in PA Trf Structure..
b. Assign the same cost elements in the SOURCE as in the Cost Comp Str
c. Choose the radio button "Costs/Revenues" in your assignment line, instead of " Variance on Production orders"
d. Assign each Assignment line to a separate Value Field

CO-PA: COGS accounts created as cost elements

hello,
I have a question regarding COGS accounts, being created as cost elements. This was not causing problems, because client was using real internal orders for profit analysis. In the next phase of project, during implementation of costing based CO-PA, now I have problem, because of this situation, because I can not delete created cost elements (only possible at the beginning of the new fiscal year) , and the system asks for cost object assignment during GI creation. I was considering OKB9 assignment, but I think this will cause double values in CO-PA. Maybe temporary solution, by using real internal orders till the end of the year, and then deleting existing cost elements for COGS accounts, could work?
Please, advise what to do to solve this situation.
Thanks in advance,
Dusko

Hope you are not using account based COPA
To avoid double values in COPA, you can do one of two things,
1) after the costs are transferred to the internal order, you can just keep them there without doing settlement, let the users know that there will be under absorption for the internal order.
2) If the users are not willing to have under absorption in the internal order, you can transfer the costs to a value feild in COPA which is not reflected in the report in KE30 (Remember that you may loose one value feild in COPA this way)
Both make no effect on KE30 report as data will be transfered to COPA at the time of billing

Cost Element missing in FAGLFLEXT for some PCA Plan records

Hi Gurus,
We have uploaded a PCA plan and can see the same in GP12NA. I see the planned values (GLPL) in FAGLFLEXT from SE16 under the correct accounts for 0L ledger for the correct company code and the fiscal year. I noticed a difference in the data
1) For the revenue elements (11 and 12 Categories) the 'cost element' field is not getting populated in FAGLFLEXT. ('Account' is populated.) Is it expected?
2) We have a Z library report that was built on FAGLFLEXT. The report uses the cost element groups to pull in the data and hence the 'Actual Values' are pulled in the report but the 'Plan Values' are missing. (Because of point1)
Any pointers on how to fix this?Could you please suggest the places i would need to look to fix this?
(I've checked that the plan vesion is activated for 2011)
(The report has version Z2 as one of its parameters.)
Regards,
Erp.Warrior

Thanks a lot for your replies.
Waman: I've looked up the Note 983835 - NewGL planning: Cost element field (COST_ELEM) initial.
This note talks about the Cost element not getting populated during planning. My question / confusion is in my case, the cost element is getting populated for some of them and not getting populated only for cost elem category 11 and 12.
Is this note intended for this issue?
Ajay: I've tried re-planning and still found the same issue. Thanks for your inputs. I'll analyse about the Note that waman has referred to and then may be go to SAP as suggested by you.
Please let me know if any of you have any other suggestions as well.
Thanks

COST ELEMENTS IN ACCOUNT BASED COPA

Hi all,
1. I understand that all FI/GL accounts correspond to COST   ELEMENTS in COPA.
2. I also understand that there are NO value fields in an Account Based Profitability Analysis.So there is no VALUE FIELD to KEY FIGURE mapping.
3. My question is: how do we map each individual GL account into BI?
4. If we dont map each individual GL account, how do we report these accounts in BI?
This part of Account based has been very confusing. I have searched numerous posts, but they all have the same answers, none that explains how we handle the numeric fields of account based profitability analysis.
Cheers
TJ

You will have a KF lets say amount
In account based COPA your Cost and revenue elements will identify what does the value in this KF corresponds to.
your report will look something like below:
Ex:
Cost and Revenue Element #     Amount
800 - Revenues                     1,000,000
808 - Sales deductions             100,000
800 - 808 = Net Revenue            900,000
893 - Cost of Sales               90,000
231 - Price Difference              10,000
Total                               1,000,000
You may get amount from source system in 2-3 diff currencies like controlling area curr, transaction curr...
Sometimes range of accounts correspond to a value. Ex: Accounts 800-900 resemble revenue.
In such a case you may create Text node in hierarchy called revenue and use it in report (if no hierarchy available from the source system) or create selection in the report.,
