Wrong priority, valuation variants
Hi all,
We are having two costing variants and valuation variants (maintained in transaction code OKP8), one for ordinary calculation and one for planning. The one for ordinary we have the following priority:
1. L Price from purchasing info record
2. 4 Planned Price 1
3. 1 Standard price in previous period
Sub-strategy: A Quotation Price via Condition Table
For the planning valuation variant we have the following priority:
1. L Price from purchasing info record
2. 4 Planned Price 1
3. 7 Valuation price according to price control in Mat. Master
4. 1 Standard price in previous period
Sub-strategy: A Quotation Price via Condition Table
Our problem is that; for the planning valuation variant the system choose priority 3, 7 Valuation price according to price control in Mat. Master instead of the info record that we have maintained. Planning price is not maintained thatu2019s why the system don´t choose that price. For the ordinary valuation variant the system choose priority 1. L Price from purchasing info record.
We wonder if:
1.Is that not possible to choose price from purchasing info record in two valuation variants, that you can´t combine this two?
2.If this not is possible, are we forced to maintain a planning price?
Best regards Lisa
Hi,
In your case as u have two different costing variants, generally there wont be any issue in having two different valuation variants for these two.
Genearlly system picks up the purchase info record even for plan based on the valuation variant u assigned.
Picking up the purchase inforecord is based on MM settings for material sourcing. check with MM how they maintained. Also recheck u r routing in planning.

Contents of new costing variant, valuation variant and costing sheet not getting transported
In our development client,I have created a new costing variant, a new valuation variant and a new costing sheet in separate transports.
When I release the transports to move into the Test client, the contents of the configuration are not getting transported at all.
I tried to do them again manually using Table view - Transport , but again, if I view the transports in SE10,they don't show the table contents, etc.
Any help on this will be highly appreciated.Ajay,
Let me make sure I understand.
Create a new TR using SE01
Go to transaction OKKN (costing variant)
Select the costing variant and then choose Table view - transport
Provide the transport number
At what point to I say 'include in request'
If I try to use the menu option Edit-Transport-Include in request in the beginning itself, the 'Include in request' is greyed out.
This is where I'm stuck -
Valuation price with user exit/BADI/Enhancement Spot (In valuation variant)
Hi all,
i am facing problem finding enhancement when creation of sales order of Valuation price with user exit/BADI/Enhancement Spot (In valuation variant)
For refferenece:
When going to t.code VA03, select one item and go to extras in the menu bar and select costing then you find some amounts calculation i.e valuation price automatically.
So when creation of sales order i am giving material and that material price automatically takes from material master and creating sales order.
My customer requirement is to get the valuation price of the input material from Z-table during the sales order cost estimate.
This Z-table contains the material code, plant , grade of the material.
Ex:
Material Plant Grade Price
A 1000 XYZ 25000
A 1000 PQR 35000
A 1000 BCD 45000
Suppose it depends on sales document type and which grade price i have to take.
So first of all i am unable to find enhancement where to change this code to get change the valuation price.
Does anybody have any idea , is there any user exit/BADI/enhancement for this.
So please help me in this issue.
Thanks & Regards,

Table entry for Valuation variant for material prices
We want to define a valuation variant for costing run. In that we need to select the material price based on the plan price. We have provision of entering three plan prices in the Costing tab-2 in the material master. But we want to enter plan prices for more than three dates. For this, we propose to enter the dates and prices in a separate table and that table needs to be accessed in the valuation variant for material prices closest to the date of valuation. How we can go about this ?
Hi
When you create Valuation Variant, choose Strategy U i.e. Price from userexit
Then code the exit COPCP0005 with the help of ABAP consultant
The logic should be:
a. Refer the "costing date from" entered in Ck11N
b. refer the Z table... and pick the price relevant on that date

Valuation Variant - Quotation Price via Condition Table
Hi all,
Regarding cost estimate in SAP, there are valuation variants. The strategy sequence "Price from Purchasing Info Record" is one step in the material valuation strategy sequence of our valuation variant PP01. There is also a sub strategy sequence with this Puchasing Info Record Valuation called "Quotation Price via Condition Table".
What does the mean, where can I find this condition table and how will the price be calculated??? Can anybody help me please?
Thanks,
AnneCreate origin group via Tcode OKZ1 and then assign the conditions that you want to include in product costing in Tcode OKK4.
In OKK4 by clicking delivery costs or create new icon you will get a popupform which can be used to input chosen conditions as follows.
PB00 0 200 1000 1000 1000 PR01
We are using it to calculate material price excluding excise duty (sort of withholding tax which can be reclaimed so will not form part of material cost) -
Material valuation strategy U in valuation variant
Dear All,
We r trying to use the material valuation strategy U in the valuation variant.
We have also activated the project with the user exit
COPCP005 : User exit for material valuation (strategy U)
Component :EXIT_SAPLCK21_002
INCLUDE ZXCKAU08
However we r not able to get the desired result.
Could you please guide.
Thanks and Regards,
AnandHi Ram
During first costing run planned prices entered thru MR 21 will be updated as standard prices. Which means planned prices = std prices.
If you wish to change the prices 6 months down the line = u need to MR 21 upload again and over the earlier planned price. Then u do costing run again. with this costing run, if there is diff in standard prices, system posts revaluation entry.
For Raw materials
Create a simple query which gives u moving avg price, current std price. Analyze the variances and consider revised prices as planned prices for the next 6 months. Next, do costing run and system revaluates the inventory values for raw materials.
If the situation is that prices of raw materials are highly volatile, do costing run level by level as earlier suggested.
But give a word of caution to client on how dynamically variances get recorded and revaluation entries get posted. Also tell them how it impacts not only raw material valuations but also finished and semi finished stock valuations.
Pls assign points if the above clarifies your requirement. -
Problem with Valuation Variant
Hi FICO experts,
Im getting the following error when creating the Production Order.
"No valuation variant found for valuation area BP01"
Pls help and i assure to reward for suitable solutions.
Regards
TanyaHi
When you create a Production Order , there is an automatic assignment of Costing variant, the systems tries to read the valuation variant through. Check transaction OPL1 for the costing variant shown in the Production order. Rectify or assign the valuation the valuation variant, your problem will be sorted out.

CK51N Valuation variant of the "ActivityTyes/Processes"
Hi Guys,
In the valuation variant of the "ActivityTyes/Processes", about the cost calculation of "Sales Order costing" (transaction CK51N), I set the strategy seq. 2 'Plan price as average for all fiscal year periods'.
I have some activities that have unit of measurement (technical field CKIS-MEEHT) = MS/MIN and MIS.
Does anyone know, firstly, how the system calculates the value of the activity, secondly, the exact formula or BAPI that the system uses?
Thanks and Regards,
LauraHi Laura,
every activity type has a unit of measurement (UoM) in its activity master data. The activity rate is planned based on this UoM.
'Plan price as average for all fiscal year periods' means for a given act. type XYZ with UoM MIS:
Period Act. rate per UOM total quantity planned
001-005 100 per 1 MIS 100 MIS
006-012 80 per 1 MIS 110 MIS
Its calculated like: (100 * 100 * 5 + 80 * 110 * 7) / (100 * 5 + 110 * 7) = 111600 / 1270 = 87,87 / MIS for every period in this fiscal year.

Dear all,
in OPL1, the standard sap valuation variant - under the activity type / process - there is a option called verion.
what is the use of this? Where i can use this option???
Could you kindly give me an example
Waiting for your valuabel reply
Regards
ElangoHi,
in the valuation variant under "activity type/processes" you can enter the CO-version where the activity rates are taken from.
Example: If you want to see the cost estimation effect of different activity rates (from different CO-versions) create two valuation variants with the only difference that one variant picks the act. rates from version X the aother one from version Y.

Costing variant/valuation variant
dear gurus,
can any body explain the costing variants,valuation variant,costing sheet,costing type,how it is integrated in production order in controlling tab.can any body explains the customizing part of product costing and overview.
if any body is having the product costing material please send to [email protected]
please through some light on product costing
-gideHi,
Every cost estimate we create is based on the costing variant.
In the costing variant we define the control parameters and settings for costing
Settings contains info such as prices that will be used to cost the materials and activities
Control parameters are used for the automatic determination of of qty str ie Bom and Routing
Every costing variant contains a valuation variant and a costing type , date control , qty str control.
Valuation variant:
Valuation variant defines the price with which the material and activities are valuated
determines 1.which price is taken from material masterrecord to calculate the material cost
2.
which price is taken from cost center accounting to calculate the costs for internal activities
3. which price is taken from purchasing info rec to calculate the the costs for ext activities / subcontracting
4. which costing sheet is used to calculate the over head costs
Costing type:
costing type defines the valuation view to be costed and defines the purpose of costing.
Date control :
controls the validity of the cost estimste , qty str date.
Valuation class:
For material costing the valuation class controls the cost element to which the planned cost of the material are assigned and the cost element under which the actual costs are updated when the material produced is delivered to stock
Valuation category:
specified the criteria according to which partial stocks are distinguished from one another
Price control indicator:
the price control indicator specifies whether the stock of the material is valuated with standard price or moving avg price
costing sheet:
The costing sheet links all the functions for overhead calculation.
In the costing sheet we determine the following
1.The direct costs to which the over head is applied
2.The condition under which the over head is applied
3.Whether the over head is applied as a percentage basis or on a qty basis
4.The amt of overhead percentage
5.The validity period of the over head
6.Which object is credited ( order , cost center) and which cost element in the case of actual posting
We enter the costing sheet in the valuation variant in customising

Dear experts,
I have defined two costing variants for my client. One is picking the right currency (Euro) which is the controlling area currency and company code currency as well.
But the other costing variant is picking the currency INR. I want to know where the currency is defined in valuation variant.
Thanks in advance,
VijayaHi,
costing (plan cost calculation) happens always in the controlling area currency.
If the basic data settings in the controlling area allow "Diff. comp.code currencies", the costing results are also stored in the comany code currency.
When viewing a plan cost estimate (eg CK13N) you can change the currency using Settings / Cost display in the header menu.

Strategies for valuation variant
Hi,
I am creating a valuation variant in Product Costing for standard cost estimation.
Could someone tell me what the most common strategies for materials, activities, subcontracting and ect. processing are?
I know that it depends on the agreement with client, but I don't have any information about the client needs, so have to do a standard, most common valuation variant.
Thanks,
KarolHi
General valuation strategies would be as follows
1) Material - Planned price, Std price, Moving avg price, Purchase Info records
2) Activity - Plan price for the period, Most upto date plan price
3) Sub Contracting - Effective price from purchase order, Net / Gross purchase order price
4) Ext Processing - Same as in 3
The above are general strategies - but also depends on various other parameters viz
1) Decision on activity pricing
2) Hw stable are material prices - it also depends on commodity types if u are
implementing for metals
3) Subcontracting strategies will work only if u hv subcontract situation. Here again u need to define a std price in the system and do sub contract product costing
4) External operation is used - if operations are outsourced to vendors. Here in routing u need to mention the info record etc. Lot of other setttings need to be done in this case.
However, the general settings are mentioned. Pls assign points if the above clarifies and let me know whether u hv sub contracting and external operation so that additional suggestion can be given further -
Wrong Material Valuation Class
Hi Guru's,
Created a material with the wrong valuation class. It seems that changing the valuation class requires quite an important procedure as per the message I get from SAP. This particular sku exists for a while and has lots of documents already created and stock of material has been posted.
Please can someone tell me what is the impact of keeping the wrong valuation class? Is that a field that we absolutely need to change or could we exceptionally keep it that way?
If we have to change the valuation class could you please tell me what are the steps I would need to go through in order to do so?? Do you recommend recreating a new sku with the correct valuation class ??
Please advice.
Best Regards,
YasmeenHi,
If you want to change valuation class in material master, you should check the following:
1. First be sure that no stocks in actual period exist, if you want to
change the valuation class in current period.
There has to be no stock in previous period if you want to change
valuation class in previous period.
2. SE16 ->table EKPO. Select all PO items of the related material.
If you found items with LOEKZ <> 'L' you have to delete them in ME22
(see note 102653).
[Chnge valtion clss in spite of open purchase orders|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/102653]
3. SE16 ->table AFPO. Select all items of the related material/plant.
If you find at least one item, change of val.clss. is not possible.
You have to these production order(s) ! (see note 146241)
[Change valuation class for open production orders|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/146241]
These hard restriction are necessary as inconsistencies in account
assignment will follow after change of val.cass, when proceeding follow up functions of a PO item before and after changing valuation class. Please take a look to note 160970 too, and read explanations carefully.
[Change valuation class: production order/purchase order|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/160970]
If you have the Material Ledger active, the change of the valuation class
has also impact on ML. The valuation class is used to allocate the plan costs to the related cost
element. Please see the notes
[Incorr cost comp split for price when changing valuation cl|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1388546]
I hope this information helps.
