Target cost version 0 is active but not showing target cost for some plants

Summary:

When I analyze actual costs on production order using CO03, while the target costs are visible for production orders for some of the plants, it is not visible for any of the production orders for other plants.

Since target cost version is activated at the controlling area level using OKV6, what else needs to be done to get it working for those other plants?

Everything operates within one controlling area in our set up.

Hi Raj,

Please consider below factors:

- there is no Valid Standard Cost Estimate.

(Check in table KEKO, the valid to and from dates)

- variance calculation has not been done yet.

The order should have status VCAL (see order header or RKACSHOW(table JEST)

- No Goods Receipts - see costs analysis report

- In the variance calculation target costs are calculated only for that

  part or those cost elements of the relevant cost estimate which

  are relevant for the stock valuation. (see CK13N, Invertory valuation view)

- Is the Cost Element a factory output or also called target credit?

  The target credit is not calculated on-the-fly by the target cost

  calculation in KKBC_ORD or COR2/3 but only by the variance calculation

  and therefore they appear with value zero as long as the variance

  calculation has not been run in update mode.

  As an alternative you could apply the note 834317. But please notice

  that this note contains a modification and not a standard correction.

BR,

Owen

Hi Raj

Do you have variance key assigned in these production orders? You need to default a variance key at plant level in the config. If the order does not have, manually enter it in co02 and try

check if standard cost estimate is released before GR or not.

Hi Rajaram,

Are you getting any errors at the time of variance calculation? please perform the variance calculation and provide the details - that may help to identify the issue.
