Wrong cost allocated for the Moving Average item

Dear Experts,
Please see this inventory audit report.. Wrong cost allocated for the Moving Average item
[screenshot here|http://www.flickr.com/photos/45736280@N07/4347146537/sizes/o/]
Please help advice why.
Warmest Regards,
Chinho

Oh yes, István is totally correct. I realized I had gotten my definition of Moving Average calculation wrong.
The actual moving average cost price is actually calculated in the background after each purchase. The cost price shown on the screen for each purchase is simply the cost price in the purchase document.
At the point of each purchase, the Moving Average price is updated as:
Actual moving average price = (Last total cumulative value + current purchase trans value) / (Last Cumulative Qty + current purchase qty)
Hope it helps and Thanks guys for the advice!

Chinho

Cost Allocations

Good Day
How do you reserve a cost allocation that has been approved already. e.g. a consultant puts in more hours and they get approved adn be sent for costing and only to pick up that they have allocated wrong costs, how do you reserve it.
Regards

Hi,
Budget = Actuals work in a scenario when the planned costs occur during a specific period of the Fiscal Year but you want to accrue the cost in all the Periods and Plan for those costs. For example, Annual Incentives paid to the Employees. In an organization if the incentive is paid during July then either the entire cost can be planned during July or the cost can be acrrued over the full year. Normally the costs are accrued for the entire year to avoid disproportionate costs between the periods.
To do this you need to do the following;
Say you Plan for 36500 USD for a Cost Center as incentive Cost for year 2010 and the planned costs are distributed according to the number of days for each period. So, your plan costs for Jan is 3100, Feb - 2800, Mar - 3100 and so on. You plan the cost on a Accrual Cost Element of Category 04. During Month-End you run the accruals and the actual costs are posted to the Cost Center with a corresponding credit to a common cost center that you may specify. You will have to move the accrued amount from the common cost center to FI accruals (Balance Sheet Account). As a result you see the costs of 3100 USD in Jan for the said cost center and your Plan and Actual values are equal. Finally when the actual costs are posted during July, you post them in FI to the common cost center and distribute the difference to all the cost centers using allocation methods based on the accrued amounts.
Hope this helps,

Msg. error BK048 for manual cost allocation

Hi,
we got a warning message for manual cost allocation (KB15N), when posting this allocation just with a quantity and without an amount. We would like to post this allocation without amount and therefore need to change the message type from warning (W) to information (I), to do this posting.
When using transaction OBA5, there is just a fixed and not adjustable value for Standard with "W". Do you know any workarounds or how we can change this message type to do this posting?
Regards
Florian

Hi Florian,
HAve you assigned users in OBA5?.
Go to OBMSG, for this particular Message number in the allowed message types, specify IWE etc. In the standard column specify I. Also you could check on check box "Switch Off" if you want to have the option of not seeing the message at all.
Now goto OBA5, against the message number, in the "Online" column , specify I or - (Switch Off) and do the same in the BAtchl column also.
Now you need too specify a user only if you want this change for specific users , if you want all the users to be able to post manual cost allocation then do not specify any user name.
Do tell me if it works.
Regards
Susan

Cost allocation flexfield

hi
after reading payroll UG, i am a bit confused about cost allocation flexfield for payroll, assignment, element link, org,element entry.
can i consider this flexfield as a T ledger, the first popup field is for Debit, the second one is for Credit purposes, when they are used for those 5 sections?

the payroll - org - element entry - assignment - element link are levels at which you can define to show a segment or not.
In case a segment is specified at a higher level, it is inherited from the other levels, so an end user has not to enter all the data all over again. (like a waterfall)
The most detailed level is the element entry level. Imagine if the end user must enter there for each segment and for each segment all values. Too much work and too error prone.
So you can set values for a specific segment at a specific level (example company code at payroll level).
Costing then rolls up all levels to fully qualify all the segments.

Multiple Cost Allocation Structures in Single Business Group

We are curently looking at solution design of creating multiple Cost
allocation flexfield in single business group environment.
Purpose :
Based on organization structure (18 companies) , the finance
consultants proposed multiple COA structures with different
valuesets , wherein values sets will be specific to the companies .
This was suggested inorder to aviod tedious job of defining
validations and post production support.
This has impact on payroll solution design wrt to cost allocation FF ,
where in we have to define multiple structures to map to Accounting
FFs.
Woudl like to check if oracle payroll supports this kind of setups.
Note :The implementation is for UAE localization.
Rgds/Lavanya

If Finance System has multiple COA structures with different valuesets , wherein values sets will be specific to the companies then they will seperating cosing on Various OU Level.
As my understanding, you have to create multiple Business Group as per multiple COA structures .

Reg. Document type for cost allocation

Hi,
Please let me know where can maintain document type for cost allocation so documents get post in GL.
With best regards
Praveen Atmakuri

Hi Praveen
Can't recollect fully, but please check the FI/CO real time recon variant Or may be the controlling area in okkp
Simply activate the real time reconciliation and carry out a cross profit center allocation. Either system will trigger the posting in FI or give you error for missing doc type

Cost allocation without a fixed %

Hi SAP Gurus,
I have a peculiar query. My client would like to allocate costs (in Controlling) on varying percentages every period. For example on the basis of the % of COGS to Sales of the products. Though the method of calculating this % will stay the same, the percentage per se will change every period.
Can this be done in SAP Controlling?
Thanks & Regards,
Sangeeta

Hiya,
Can you look at this thread please? It will save me some work typing the whole thing here again:

Common cost allocation to assets in service at different times

Hi,
My client constructs large assets that typically go into service over a period of several months. They track some asset costs on tasks assigned to a grouping level of specific assets, while other "general" costs are coded to a task assigned to a grouping level of "Common costs". The problem is that when one of the assets gets placed into service, all of the "common" costs get allocated to that assets. This is resulting in disproportionately larger asset costs for the first one placed in service and a smaller share of those costs allocated to the last asset placed into service.
What is the best method to get these general-type costs to allocate proportionately across all the assets even though they are placed in service across several different months?
Thanks!

Hi
The problem of equal prorating the common costs is that task may still incur costs after the first asset has been placed in service. The other assets will also incur additional costs.
You may consider holding the common cost till the end of the entire project. That task should not be assigned to common cost, but instead assigned it to a separate asset, with quantity of 100 units. When project is completed and all other assets are placed in service go and interface the "common" asset lines to FA.
In Mass Addition split that last asset into separate N assets, where N is the number of real assets generated from that project. Now add the cost of the last "common" assets to the other assets already in FA.
