Standard Cost Estimate CK11N, CK40N ignores Origin Group

[andymap]

Hi Everyone,

I'm having an issue with Standard Cost Estimate for materials with Special Procurement Type. We created Origin Group and assign it in Cost Component Structure to move O/H cost from Sending Plant to Material Cost in Receiving Plant like below example:

Cost Element     Origin Group   Cost Component   Description

673000                    S01               1                         Raw Material

673000                  <Blank>           2                        Overhead

We also assign Origin Group in material master, however, when executing costing run, Cost Element doesn't split as expected. Did we missed any other configuration step?

Thanks.

Hi Will

Did you explore the possibility of using Auxiliary Cost Component Split. I believe it should take care of your requirement.

Thanks Mustafa!

I'm also looking into this option to see if it would help.

Hi Srinath and Ajay,

Thanks for your reply. Cost element category is 43 for production overhead.

Our business requirement is to treat both Material Cost + Overhead Cost in Sending Plant as Material Cost only in Receiving Plant. That's why we came up with above solution using Origin Group. I already configured exactly as Ajay mentioned above. Somehow Costing Run doesn't split as expected. Please advise what is wrong or missing here?

In Sending plant, we don't want to change Cost Component Structure so I think it's not right to maintain Origin Group in Material Master from Sending Plant.

Thanks.

I think using user exit in valuation variant seems to be the logical choice, Strategy U

With standard settings it would be difficult

or else, keep price control V in receiving plant. What you want will naturally come

Hi Ajay,

We thought about price control V but it's not a prefer solution. Thanks for your suggestion on using user exit. I'll look into it to see if it could help and will get back.

However, do you have any idea why standard SAP function with Origin Group in OKTZ doesn't work in this case?

Thanks.

Hi Will

It is a special procurement case. So it will look at the Sending Plant for everything and will inherit the same

Also, within a company code, you cant have the CCS behaving in a different way...It can be achieved in a Cross Company Code scenario but not with in a Company Code

Hi Ajay,

I forgot to mention, it's a Cross Company Code scenarios. Any new idea in this case? If there's a reason for Origin Group doesn't work, please explain to me.

Regards.

Hi Will

in a cross company code scenario, if the cost component structures are not same, the total split of sending company code gets rolled up into material cost component

So you can assign 2 different CCS to these company codes or just assign a dummy component in one of them. That should do

You can explore Aux. CCS, but that will aply to all company codes again

But what will you achieve out of this? Its not going to make any difference in FI. If it is only reporting, then use Aux. CCS. But it will apply to all co. codes if you are using single CCS

Thanks Ajay!

Currently we're using only 1 CCS and assigned for all company code. The change in Cost Component Structure should be applied for materials with Special Procurement Type in Receiving Plant only (in Receiving Plant, we also have other materials which are produced in this plant).

In this case, using Aux. CCS or using 2 CCS would be a better solution?

Regards.

Will.

[ajaycwa1981]

Yes. I think so

Hi

How can cost element be same for Material and overhead cost component?

overhead cost component must have category 41 cost element

In receiving plant assign origin group in material master AND assign Overhead cost + Origin Group to Raw Mat cost component

Summary

RM Cos element - Material cost component

Overhead Cost ele- Overhead cost conponent

Overhead Cost ele+ Origin Group- material cost conponent

Hi Will,

I wonder if you have created the overhead cost element with cost element category 41.

Also, please check if you have the origin group assigned in the material master in sender location.

Since it is plant transfer, the origin group would be considering from the source location.

Hope this helps.

Srinath

Hi Srinath,

For some unknown reason, it doesn't work as source location as well.

It's really weird to me.

Thanks.

Will

[former_member219086]

Hi Will, That's weird. check if the origin group is part of cost component structure or not. Also, please send the screenshot of receiving location material CK13N screen and source material costing 1 view. That may give some hints.  Usually, it has to take the origin group from source location material.

Regards,

Srinath
