Depreciation & Power cost

[former_member216878]

Dear Guru`s,

I have a doubt in 2 components before starting month-end process for Oct. month..Yes Oct month

1) Depreciation

My client has not booked the depreciation cost for Oct month and he is asking to go ahead for costing closing. My doubt is:

a) If Depreciation has not been booked then what will be it`s consequences.?????

b) If we book Depreciation of Oct. month in next month i.e Nov... I mean combination of Oct+Nov. then what will be its consequences???

2) Power cost.

Power is one of my Activity and user has booked the Power cost directly by using T-code FB60 but he does not have quantity byfergation. I mean I cannot use T-code KB31N for booking the Power quantities to the respective cost centers...My doubts are:

a) If Power has not been booked then what will be it`s consequences.?????(Tocde FB60 is used and T-code KB31N has not been used)

b) If we book Power of Oct. month in next month i.e Nov... I mean combination of Oct+Nov. using KB31N  then what will be its consequences???

Looking for a quick reply.......

Regards

Nitisha

Dear Rajneesh,

Thanx`s for your quick reply but can you please explain the below line in more detail....I just wanted to be sure before doing this..dn`t take it other way...

" do manual re-posting of power cost to the cost centers and then calculate actual activity prices"

Dear Nitisha

At the time of FB50 one cost center must have been given. From that cost center you manually allocate the cost (KB15N) in this cost element to required cost centers. How ever this can alcso be done through manual re-posting (KB11N) as I suggested but in this case cost posted in original cost center will become zero and in new cost center it will appear, hence difficult to track from where it has come in new cost center.

Try both ways in test system and take decesion from client how they will prefer.

Dear Nitisha

Depreciation:

If your are using it in any activity say Maint.Activity, Actual price of that activity for October will become lower and for November it will be higher which may impact your WIP/Variance calculation for both the months. Else if you are taking it through Works OHs, those overheads will be over absorbed or under absorbed in the two months in the respective OH cost center.

Power:

You have already planned Power activity for the month of October and accordingly Power activity price is calculated and used in the orders in calculation of  plan cost of power. As the actual cost is not booked in the cost center so when you will calculate actual activity price it will come to zero and hence in orders there will be no power cost after doing revaluation of orders.

So what you can do is that do manual re-posting of power cost to the cost centers and then calculate actual activity prices, it will work.

'b' point in power is not required in my opinion
