  • Planning on secondary cost element_cost category 21(internal settlement)

    Good Day
    I would like to know whether it is possible to do planning on secondary cost element with a cost category 21
    The internal cost element is used to settle order costs or project costs to objects in Controlling (CO), such as orders, profitability segments, cost centers, and projects.  I would like to allocate a plan value to the secondary cost element because the cost element is found in a sttlement profile for a Plant Maintenenance(PM) work order and at the period end the actuals is moved from PM order to the internal order settlement cost element.  However this is a problem cause the planning values is allocated to the primary cost element and the actual values are posted to the cost element with cost catergory 21 during order settlement.
    Please advise and if possible give me a workable solution to solve my problem.
    Regards
    Ropetra

    Good Day
    Thank you for you response.  I would like some more detail on the following:
    Please can you advise me as to where and how you set up the settlement for planned values on the secondary cost element_cost category 21(internal settlement)

  • What is the actual cost of these plans?

    What is the actual cost of these plans?
    * $59.99 a month for 450 minutes
    * $79.99 a month for 900 minutes
    * $99.99 a month for 1,350 minutes
    Although they will very, Answers welcome from anyone in the USA. So I can have and idea of the cost with taxes and fees. I am located in both LA and NYC. I currently have a NYC number with Verizion using the 450 minutes plan. The plan cost $39.99 before taxes and fees and $48.42 after taxes and fees.
    Breakdown of Monthly Access Charges:
    450 minute plan: $39.99
    Verizon Wireless' Surcharges and Other Charges & Credits: $3.31
    Taxes, Governmental Surcharges & Fees: $5.12
    Total Current Charges: *$48.42*

    My plan total is $84.99/month, then with taxes and fees it comes to $93.40 each month as the total bill. The biggest fee is the state sales tax, at just over $5 on my last bill. Then the 911 fees, fed regulatory fees, and all that are a few bucks each.
    My plan -
    450 Minute (required) $39.99
    Unlimited Data (required) $30
    1500 Text msgs (optional) $15
    Total = $84.99

  • Copy secondary costs from plan to plan

    Hi,
    I have a allocations question.
    We're freezing (copying) our plan values every year to say plan version B0.
    Every quarter we'd like so copy another version with the changes made to plan values since the last copy, let's call this versions A1 - A4.
    Now we'd like to keep the allocated values (which are secondary costs) from version B0 and copy those to A1 - A4, without having to run them another time in A1 - A4 again.
    I know KP97 can not copy secondary costs and only manually planned costs but is there a way to get the secondary costs which are still sitting in B0 into the quarterly estimates A1 - A4?
    Any suggestions welcome.
    Thanks for your help,
    Roland

    Hi,
    a plan assessment cycle contains CO-version information in its header date.
    You can use KSU7 to copy a plan assessment cycle from version A to version B, just enter CO-version B in the header data of the copied cycle and ensure that in "sender values" the version is initial (thus the header data CO-version takes place).

  • In controlling secondary cost element cost is considerble for financial rep

    in controlling secondary cost element cost is it considerble for financial reporting requirment. In controlling for pm orders based on planning in kp26 they are booking man hours  activity price. when at time of confirm of the order planning converted to actual.
    Client is giving activity price based on primary cost, when we plan the activity price It will double booking what we incured in primary cost. let me clarify for financial report requirment can we consider secondary cost or not

    Hi,
    Secondory cost is a re allocation of Primary cost. It should not be considered if you are considering primary cost. Secondary cost is used for analysis and should not be confused with Primary cost
    Ex. Cost gets collected to cost centers, The activity is a carrier which carries cost to Process/ production order. So that doent mean that the cost is gernerated twice once you book the financial and second when you acutally allocate the cost.
    In controlling we allocate the cost in a more meaningful way to get the required analysis which will support the decision.
    So both the cost should not be considered
    This may be useful

  • For financial report requirment can we consider secondary cost element cost

    For financial reporting requirment can we consider secondary cost element cost to profit and loss a/c

    In our senario _ cost is booking cost centers and revenues booking concern profit centers .
    for Financial reporting requirment can I include secondary cost to profit and loss a/c
    what is the impact on the report
    exp: salary booking in primary cost,than Per hour man hour cost computed by costing dept for allocate to concern department
    it is cost center activity price we specify in kp26 at the time of pm order confirm it will confim the activity quandity price will from planning area only,  so for salaries in primary g/ls already captured, if we consider secondary it may double booking

  • Line item report on secondary cost element (cat - 21)

    Hi Gurus,
    Secondary cost element with category 21 is used for internat settlement from order to wbs or wbs to cost center. But can we see line item report on this cost element. Or we cannot see any line item report on this cost element. it is just used for internal settlement purpose.
    Please clear this doubt. thank you

    Hi Mohit,
    I hope you can have line item report @ order and WBS element stright away...
    for orders use: KOB1 transaction code for actual line items, where you have the facility of entering CE or CE group to find the vaues related to particular cost elements in the order. If you are flexible with CEs related to 21, give there otherwise create a CE group specific to 21 category and enter the group and find the results you want.
    same way for WBS elements/projects: we have transaction code CJI3 for actual line items, here also we can enter CE or CE groups
    Not only for actual line items, we have the option of viewing plan line items, budget line items, and commitment line items @ both order and WBS level with different transaction codes other than mentioned above, like KOB2, KOB3, CJI4, CJI2 etc
    I hope it helps a lot if I understand your query right
    Regards..

  • Planned vs Actual Cost Report (with variance) for PM Orders

    Hi Experts,
    We are using the project system to collate order costs for annual shut work.  We have a requirement for a report to show 25% variance between planned and actual order costs (maintneance order).
    At this stage, we dont mind whether this is implemented in the the PM system, or the PS system.
    This is a fairly basic / common requirment.  Are there any standard transactions we could use to:
    1.  Select a list of orders using standard selection criteria.
    2.  Select a % for variance, e.g. 25%
    3.  Display a list of orders where the planned vs actual costs were greater than 25% and what the actual variance is for each order?
    Thanks,
    Maikel

    Hi Maikel,
                   I have never seen any such scenario, but the best thing that can come to me is for the shut down activities you muct have created a Revision, then based on that Revision you can take a dump of all the orders with Planned and Actual Cost, in the excel, and there by putting the formulae you can definitely have the Varience report.
    Hope it helps you.

  • Secondary Cost Element Values doesn't display in Profit Center Report

    Hi everyone,
    I'm having a problem with our Profit Center plan/actual/variance reports wherein it doesn't display the postings I made to the Secondary cost element when I executed an assessment cycle (KSU5). I already set in the configuration that all postings to be done in the cost centers, should have a parallel posting to the profit center assigned to it. I can see the postings in my cost center reports, but not in my profit center report. Could I have missed out on any procedure to enable the secondary cost element parallel posting in my profit centers? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    it might be the configuration of the library or some parameter in the report (record type should be 0 and 2 for actual values, where 2 stands for distributed values and 1 and 3 for planned values)
    but it also might be that the reconciliation is done between different CC and same PC
    - check your CC organisation asignment
    - if sender cost center and receiver cost center have tha same PC it is probably the reason
    - I had that problem my self and didn't solve it
    cheers

  • What is meant by costing key?

    Dear Experts ,
                          while releasing the billing document to accounts , i am getting  error like
                Valuation with material cost estimate: error, The system looked for the material cost estimate using costing key "002", as defined in the Customizing settings for CO-PA,  incomplete due to FI/CO interface
    what is meant by costing key?
    regards
    rajakarthik

    Hi,
    In Costing based Profitability analysis you define costing keys. A costing key is a set of access parameters which are used in valuation to determine which data in Product cost planning should be read. In the costing key you attach the costing variant.
    In the costing key you specify whether the system should read the current standard cost estimate, the previous standard cost estimate or the future standard cost estimate or a saved cost estimate.
    The configuration settings to determine this costing key is as follows:
    Assign costing keys to the products u2013 Three costing keys can be attached to a single product for a specific point of valuation, record type, plan version.
    Assign costing keys to Material types
    Assign costing keys to any characteristics u2013 You can use your own strategy to determine the costing keys. This is through user defined assignment tables.

  • Difference between type of Secondary Cost Element Category?

    Hi,
    I checked the system, and during the secondary cost element (CE) creation, I can select some of the CE category as follows:
    21 Internal settlement
    31 Order/project results analysis
    41 Overheads
    42 Assessment
    43 Internal activity allocation
    50 Project-related incoming orders: Sales
    51 Project-related incoming orders: Other
    52 Project-related incoming orders: Costs
    61 Earned value
    My question, what kind of report that I can read entries with these kind of CE?
    Reason: I want to check what has been posted to these secondary CE.
    Or
    Could anyone explain the use of above-mentioned CE category in brief?
    Thanks.

    Cost element that is used to allocate costs for internal activities.
    Most often used categories are
    21 Internal settlement
    (When ever an order is settled e.g internal order settling to cost center through this type of cost elements)
    31 Order/project results analysis
    (WIP in production orders are calculated and posted using this category)
    41 Overheads
    (Used in costing sheet to do an overhead allocation)
    42 Assessment
    (whenever cost is allocated between cost centers through allocation method - Assessment)
    43 Internal activity allocation
    (found in production orders when a routing activity is confimed the charge goes to the production order through this cost element)

  • Report on Secondary cost elements

    Hi all,
    Can any one tell me how to see line item report on the secondary cost element that are used in asessment cyles and also how to display the documents that are generated for these secondary cost elements after running the asessment cycles.
    Thanks

    Hi MKR,
    I am assuming that your assessment cycles are tied to cost center as senders, so even though you don't look by assessment cycle you could use transaction S_ALR_87013611. Set the selection criteria for the Controlling Area, month year/period combination and version you need, leave the cost center fields blank and enter as cost element the secondary cost element(s) of your cycles. After executed, double click on the total actual cost amount associated individually to each cost element and an additional screen would be displayed, from where you can select the option to display actual line items report. The list of line items is displayed. If you have the ALV functionality additional columns can be added in the display to segregate the information based, transaction type, origin, etc.
    Hope it helps , if it does please award points.
    Thanks,

  • Settle Secondary Cost from WBS to AUC

    Hi Sapiens,
    Business Requirement --> Budget Control for all Material Procurement, thereafter settlement of cost thus booked under WBS to AUC or Asset as the case maybe.
    Current Setup --> Material/Inventory/Balance Sheet A/c has been made Statistical i.e. CE category "90". This is enabling AVAC during procurement and budget control. However when trying to settle the WBS it is NOT settling, error - "no cost available to settle".
    How to resolve the matters.
    Regards,
    GM

    Here is what SAP help says for cost element category 90:
    90: Cost Elements for Balance Sheet Accounts in FI
    Automatically assigned when you create cost elements in CO whose general ledger accounts in FI are asset reconciliation accounts (special balance sheet accounts), not income statement accounts. You cannot change this category in CO master data maintenance.
    FI does not require CO account assignments to cost elements of category
    90. However, if you enter an account assignment, it is only recorded statistically for true objects.
    Category 90 cost elements enable you to check the budget of an order or project when you acquire fixed assets that can be directly capitalized. To do this, enter the capital investment order or the WBS element in the corresponding field of the asset master data. Asset Management (AM) ensures that the specified order or WBS element is automatically entered in the document during the asset acquisition.
    In CO the order or WBS element is debited statistically. This statistical debiting is checked by the system using the budget during availability control.
    Notice the words in bold above.  Apparently, CE category 90 is when you acquire fixed assets that can be directly capitalized.  You need to specify the WBS element in the corresponding asset master data.
    I think your candidate is CE category 22.
    22: External Settlement
    Used to settle order costs, project costs, or cost object costs to objects outside of CO. These objects could be assets (Asset Management), materials (Materials Management), or general ledger accounts (Financial Accounting). The R/3 System creates an accounting document when the costs are settled.
    Cost elements of this category cannot be used for settlement within CO (cost centers, orders, projects, and so on). Use secondary cost element category 21 for this purpose. The system does not create an accounting document when costs are settled within CO.

  • What is the monthly cost to add an addittional smartphone?

    My daughter would like a phone for Christmas. We are attempting to determine what the additional monthly costs would be to add a additional smartphone to our plan (above and beyond the initial costs for the phone itself).

    That would depend on the plan and the way you purchase the phone.  More Everything - $40 line access, discounted for EDGE payment plan, or no contract purchase (full price) based on total data bucket.  $9.99 line fee and $30 for 2gb data if you are on the old Nationwide plan and want to stay there. 
    Basically $40 added to your monthly bill for the additional line and data...with a [possible discount based on other factors.
