Product Costing Periodic Analysis

[Former Member]

Hi,

When we run "KKBC_HOE - With Defined Summarization Hierarchy" for a particular period, does SAP take into account only the postings made in that period.

There could be open production orders from previous periods carried over to the period under analysis. How does SAP handle those? Will SAP eliminate the postings made to such production orders in previous periods?

Similary, How does SAP calculate plan costs (both material & activity costs) for the period in analysis.

Thanks,

Dear Ram,

The report will be based on the dates the entry gets posted. When you select the period the report to be executed SAP will pick the cost componenets from that particular period. Open order is the order which is not complete hence the cost components has not been affected. This is similar for your activity type also.

You can analyse this in your development server during the month beginging by keeping a production order open and run the report for a that particular period alone. If you find my logic is correct kinldy reward points

Hi Kaarthik,

Thanks for your reply. Still, there is some doubt in the way SAP calculates. I not able to simulate what you suggested as it is not month beginning.

For instance let us say that a production order started in period 1, the planned costs are material-$1000, labor activity-$500. At the end of period 1, the actual costs posted to the order were material-$500, labor $100.

So, when I run the report at the beginning of period 2, (only for this period-not cumulative), what will be the planned costs for this order.

Thanks,

Ram
