Plant to Plant Stock Transfer issue in Cost estimate

[atif_farooq]

Hello CO Experts:

I am testing a scenario , i have two plants , plant A is manufacturing and plant B is selling plant. For Product 10010 i have a released cost estimate in Plant A , i extended this material to Plant B and assigned Procurement type F and Spl Proc Key 40 and executed its cost estimate in Plant B, upon execution system is giving an error  to give consumption account for this finished material valuation class in GBB VBR. Can someone please shed light on why system is asking for FERT consumption account in this particular scenario.

Thanks

1. If the FERT doesn't have a consumption a/c displaying the costing results by cost element or rolling the same into primary cost component split cannot be accomplished. This is the direct answer to your query. Providing below SAP Documentation links to some background

2. One of the uses of Product Cost Planning is to

•   Establish how the costs are broken down for each product, and to calculate the value added for each step of the production process (cost rollup) (http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_07/helpdata/en/4f/865653711d6655e10000000a423f68/content.htm?framese...)

3. There are a number of reports in the cost estimate itself and in the Product Cost Controlling Information System that you can use to display and analyze the costing results together with the relevant quantity structure:

•   Costed multilevel BOM
•   Itemizations

In addition to these PP-oriented displays of the costing results, there is a cost component split for each material that breaks the costs down into cost components :

•   Cost component split for the cost of goods manufactured
•   Primary cost component split
•   Partner cost component split

Hello:

Please note that i am not getting the logic of doing so, when i am executing cost run in Plant B it gave me this error however in plant A it did not give this error,

In plant B the consumption of finsihed good produced in plant A is an input and hence a part of the cost component structure. And given your material master data settings - F and SPK40.

Atif,

In simple term It does not matter either manufacture or Selling In SAP plant is just plant. And it needs to record the transaction so you need to have account assigned to respective transaction.

so the selling plant it still need to record the transactions,Plant A did not receive any error because it might have assigned in OMWD. Can you confirm if Plant B is assigned in OMWD? As Each plant in SAP should have account determination for valuation area.

Thanks

Please see the attached screen , in which it can be seen valuation areas have been assigned to the plant but still getting the error when executing cost est in plant 2000 in order to take std cost of plant 1000. In plant 1000 i did not get this error.

Thanks

Atif,

Check all your plant specific assignment are in place or not. Read below document to understand the Inter company STO

POD-Series 1- Intra-Company Stock Transfer

See below points from the above document which may helpful for you

a. Material master set up in Plant A:- (Only the settings relevant to FICO)

  - Procurement Type = E (In-House manufacturing)

  - Price control = S (Standard price)

b. Material master set up in Plant B:-

- Procurement Type = F

- Special Procurement Type = Z1 (to be configured in OMD9)#1

- Price control = S or V ? #2

#1 - When a special procurement type is assigned in material master of Product P1 in Plant B, during MRP run or Costing run, the system will be directed towards Plant A.

This means, during MRP in Plant B, the requirement for Product P1 will be generated and transferred to Plant A. System will not intend to manufacture P1 in Plant B. The planned order generated upon MRP can be converted into a STO

During costing run in Plant B, system can be diverted to Plant A to read and transfer the cost estimate from Plant A

#2 - It is an important consideration / decision to be made regarding the price control of the material in the receiving plant. One school of thought is to have Price control V in the receiving plant, because the material is not manufactured in this plant. Another school of thought is to have Price control S. Preferably, S, is the one that is commonly used. This helps to roll-up the cost component split of sending plant into the receiving plant "as-is". One can have the Price control V and still roll up the cost components in receiving plant. However, it becomes challenging in some scenarios. I would not go into details here, and they can be provided upon request in the comments section.

Thanks

Hi Atif,

Firstly Check valuation areas for the receiving plant and sending plant

if plants have different valuation areas kindly recheck in OBYC settings for account determination

Thanks,

Atif,

Make sure receiving plant is set up in OMWD. Each plant in SAP should have account determination for valuation area.

I think this would resolve your error.

Thanks

I think it may be for proc type "F" as external proc type may be consumed or sold...
