Work Order & Activity Costs

Iu2019m extracting the underlying SAP tables so I can populate a Data Warehouse with Work Orders information and I have identified the following SAP tables:
u2022     Work Order tables: AFFL, AFKO, AFPO, AFRU, AFVC, AFVU, AFVV, AUFK, AUFM
u2022     Bill of Material tables: MAPL, MAST, MKAL, PLAS, PLKO, PLPO, STAS, STLO, STPO
u2022     Activity Cost tables: CKIS, CKIT, COST
u2022     Other tables of interest: CHRD, CRTX, CSLA, CSLT, CSSL, JSTO, PLMZ, RESB, S022
With the Work Order & Bill of Material tables I can identify the actual & target materials quantities & costs and I can also identify the actual & target activity / resource time spend. The problem I have is that I canu2019t detect the join between the Work Order tables and the Activity Cost tables, so there must be a table (or two) missing that creates this link.
Will you help?

Thank you for your assistance. Finally found the table that best answered my question in COEP.
Discovered lots of useful tables along the way.

Plant Maintanence Order activity cost reverse concern primary cost explain.

Dear All,
In our senario we have PM module, they are preparing the
1repair
2 breakdown
3 shutdone order for specific cost incurred cost centers, Problem is
when we specify salary cost as activity cost in kp26, the same cost debiting the order specified cost center at time of order settlement
1. we are booking salary cost in administration cost center through primary cost
2. when we settle the PM order to concern cost center correspondant salary(primary posting) doesnot reverse.
it will apear in administrative cost center 100 (this is Primary posting)and PM work down cost center 50 ( this secondary posting)
suppose we want cost center reports actual Rs.100 (Primary posting)salay shows --- Administration Rs.100 and PM work center Rs.50 which are not corret against Rs.100
but my client want cost center reports for financial report requirment purpose...... Please suggest senario and how I over come this problem.

Hi Ranjan,
Booking of Administration cost center with primary posting, will reverse when we do PM order settlement to concern service cost center.
for example
A administration cost center incurred Rs. 100/- for (Salaries)
B Service cost center is settlement cost center of PM service Order Activity price is Rs.50/- which is based on administration cost center cost.
Now we go for cost center report, we mention A and B cost centers cost for the period A shows Rs.100/- with primary posting and B shows Rs. 50/- with secondary cost element as per our client requirement as per based on secondary posting, concern primary posting should reverse concern administrative cost center
I gone through the reports, primary not crediting the administrative cost center and secondary cost is debiting against service cost center.
Please suggest how I configure for primary reversing based on activity cost when settling service Order activity cost.

Hi Kiran,
The error message clearly says that "Cost Center validity starts from 01.10.2014" i.e. in the future period.
Change the cost center from period in the past date and try.

Work Order to cost center settlement with line item detail

Iu2019m having difficulty finding a method to settle from a work order to a cost center with line item detail. When an order is settled with KO88 or KO8G the total value for that work order/cost element combination is combined and posted to the cost center as a lump sum with the description of CTR\######. Users would like to see the individual values that posted to the work order in a cost center report such as KSB1.
I donu2019t see anything in the settlement rule, settlement profile or allocation structure that will allow line item settlement from work order to cost center. Is line item settlement possible when settling to a cost center? Is there an alternate way to see these expenses as line items in KSB1?
Thanks,
Jeff

Thanks Christian,
We've defined an allocation structure that we use for Project System and Work Order settlement and have Receiver Categories established as FXA, CTR and WBS with "by Cost Element" checked. Work order costs do settle to the cost center entered in the settlement rule, the problem is it combines all items values as a single amount when posting to the cost center.
For example:
expenses post to the work order under cost element 500000 for $500, $200, $300 and cost element 600000 for $250 and $250. The settlement rule says to settle to cost center 170000. When the settlement takes place cost center 170000 is debited $1000 to cost element 500000 and $500 to cost element 600000. We would prefer to see individual posting of $500, $200, $300 to 500000 and $250, $250 to 600000.
Thanks,
Jeff

The additive cost can not display on the work order plan cost

dear friends
first i run the ck74n for the additive cost ,second i run the ck11n for cost estimate ,i can see that the additive cost update to the standard cost successfully ,at last i run the ck24 mark and release the standard cost,but when i raise a work order ,i can not see the additive cost in the plan cost ,i do not know the reason ,do you have some suggestion
thanks

Hi
This behaviour is expected and standard...
In Std cost estimate, you have the option of inputting components manually in CK74N... But the actual costs in Prod order will come either from Material issues/Activity Confirmations or manual postings from FI... There is no option to enter additive costs in actuals.. Hence, there is no option of "additive costs" in the Planned costng variant of Prod order
If you enter any additive costs in CK11N, It is done because you cant estimate it through Qty Structure.. But, during actuals, the actual costs are all available through Material issues/Activity Confirmations.. hence, the additive costs does not apply here

PM work order estimate cost

I wanted to ask regarding "Estimated cost of work order"
Ponit 1- In Transaction IW32 (change work order) change the Estimated Cost field so that it does not u201Cgrey outu201D after the work order has been released. This field is available for data entry while the work order is in the CRTD status but cannot be accessed once the Work Orders changes to REL status.--is it possible to change the estimated cost after Work order released
Point2 - If ponit 1 is not possible, an alternative is to have the planned cost of the work order auto fill the estimated cost field if no value is entered when the release flag is executed. (that means can we take planned cost as estimated cost automatically if estimated cost field is blank)
our clints want these two functionality. please any body know on thes issues let me know.
thanks in advance for your help

Prakash,
Estimated cost field in work order is free text field
In work order header tab cost field, you can make mandatory setting via OIAN for all order types
Thanks

Work orders planned cost report

Hello
In our organization, works order can have two types of settlement receivers (cost centers or internal orders). To report planned cost by receivers, we create automatically groups of works orders (by receiver) and uses standard transaction S_ALR_*.
But it works only if settlement is not modified.
Does one of you know a better way to report those costs?
Thanks

Hi,
I don't want to report planned costs by maintenance objects but by receivers.
For exmaple: i have 2 work orders on the same receiver (cost center 1)
WO1 CC1 11/2011 500u20AC
WO2 CC1 11/2011 600u20AC
I try to report planned cost for CC1

I have planned activity type/price with the transaction KP26, but the system doesn't return any value in planned costs of WBE.
Why?

Settlenent of Work Order on different WBS

Dear expert,
In PM Order (IW31) , operation tab i have a list of operation for that different activity types are mintained
against the work center , i want to settle the different operation against the different WBS elements
for ex. 0010 to 0050 operation on one WBS element
and 0060 to 0100 operation on another WBS .
at the same time the no. of operation is more than say 100
In settlement rule it not practical to give % for every WBS as no of WBS are also more.
My problem is how to settle the every operations against different WBS as n... number of operations are there.
Rahul

Hi,
Its not possible to settle different orders on different WBS as WBS is defined at teh header level.
But two other options you can try:
Define activities types in work centre and these activities types will work as a linkage between work centre and cost centre. So for perticular activities used in work centre and then usd in work order the cost can directly be moved to cost centre operation wise.
More you will get if you go to teh costing tab of the work centre. In that case your cost will be directly settled to a cost cenre not on WBS.
Or you can create a sub orders for different operations. there you can deifne WBS based on same operations.Means WBS 1 for main order and itz corresponding operations , then create a sub orders for seconf group of operations with other WBS.

Activity Costs Revaluation Using Actual Price

Hi,
Since we can revaluate the activity costs at actual price in the product costing module itself using t.code MFN1, why SAP has provided another option to revaluate acticvity consumption at actual price in the material ledger multi level price determination?
What is the difference between the both? If i had used MFN1, do i still have to use the revaluation of activity costs provided in the material ledger?

Hi,
However don't you think if the production order activity cost has been revaluated at actuals in the production order then during settlement it will carry the activity actual costs which will be shown in material ledger receipts category with the same actuals value for the activity costs.
So why should i be revaluating the activity costs again with actual activity price in material ledger once again? It sounds like a duplicate work to me under this scenario....

Work order( maintainence order) settlement

hi,
i want to know whether the cost center used for settlement of work order and cost center assigned to work center are same or not. please help me with this. can anyone give some examples of scenarios.
thanks,

Monica,
Settlement: Example from SAP - Help
The following example illustrates the creation and processing of an order from the point of view of order settlement.
The Order
In a clarification plant, three pumps are to be cleaned in the pumping station. All three pumps are installed at the same functional location.
Planning and Planning Data
The planner creates an order, enters the functional location C1-B01 (pumping station) as a reference object and enters the three pumps in the object list. The order is to be settled to the pumping station cost center, which has the number 511. This means that all the costs posted to the order for cleaning the three pumps will be settled to cost center 511 when the job is complete.
The order data comprises the following:
Data on the Performing Work Center "PSC" (pump fitters):
Entry
Number of persons performing the job : 2
Performing cost center (= cost center of the employees performing the job): 909
Activity type: Cleaning
Planned number of work hours per person per pump: 1
Cost of activity type per hour: $ 150
Total planned work hours: 6
Total labor costs: $ 900
Data for Scheduled Material:
Entry
Consumption posting to the amount of: $ 150
Releasing and Processing the Order
Once the planning stage is complete, the planner releases the order for processing.
The employees from work center "PSC" start the work:
They withdraw the material scheduled for the order from the warehouse. Actual costs of $150 are incurred for the order and are debited directly from the balance sheet account.
The employees confirm the length of time they worked on the order. It took them a little longer than planned, so that the resulting actual costs posted to the order are $1050. These costs are credited to the performing work center.
Situation After Completion of the Work
After the work has been completed and the order settled, the debits are as follows:
Balance on the order: $ 0.00
Debit to the receiver cost center 511 (pumping station): $ 1200.00
Hope this gives you a fair idea as what it should be, Reward your points if this was helpful.

Prasobh

                  Parag

Hi Anupam,
             I have created cost center, activity type, and cost element in month of octomber. thats why in kp26 at the time of assignment of cost center and activity type i have maintain according to fiscal year
                       version                  0

Work Order & Cost Center Commitment Management

We have a business requirement to be able to view our work order commitments (Reqs and POs) from the work order as well as from the cost center assigned to the work order via a settlement rule. Our business users do not like the work order collecting all of the costs instead of the cost center where they perform their cost controlling.
The actuals will settle to the cost center eventually but without the commitments they have no way of planning for future costs. Commitments management is activated for both the cost centers and work orders involved. I am open to any suggestions on how to achive this requirement. Thanks!

Any thoughts?

Actual costs posted to work order without maintaining costing variant

hi,
i havent maintained costing variant for work order(maintenance order) type i used to create the work order. so when i posted goods issue, how does the actual costs get posted with out maintaining the costing variant for work order type. what is the role of costing variant configuration in work order type settings.
thanks,
monica

Hi monica,
Costing variant forms the link between the application and Customizing, since all cost estimates are carried out and saved with reference to a costing variant. The costing variant contains all the control parameters for costing.
The configuration parameters are maintained for costing type, valuation variants, date control, and quantity structure control.In costing type we specify which field in the material master must the price be updated,
In valuation variant we specify in what order the system should go about accessing prices for the material master planned price, standard price, moving average price etc. Further which is the price which should be considered for activity price. How the system should select BOM and routing.
assign points if useful

How to avoid actual cost error log while confirm production order activity

Hi
I dont want to post actual activity cost via production order activity confirmation. But i want standard value keys for my production duration purpose. So,i defined activites(strd value key) in work center without assigning cost center to that work center. While i confirm in CO11N, system throws erro log as Actual cost calculation contain errors and allows me to confirm the activities. I am doing MB31 and all CO settlement activities also. But when i try to close the order it says error log exists,so closing of order is not possible. How to overcome this problem as i dont want to capture any cost of activites via production order,but i want confirmation only for production analysis.

Hi
Issue is resolved thru PP forum. Thanks for ur reply.
Solution lies in Control key of routing and BOM costing relevancy.
