Very Very Ungent....Critical Issue on Fixed % in Credit

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus.,

I am struggling with this Fixed percentage in the Credit Row of Costing Sheet.

Because, previously i have maintained the 50% for all the overheads.(Mat, Production, Sales, Admin).

The results from CK11N, these OH's is not coming as per the %'s.

So, what i did is i removed the Fixed percentages for all except material OH.

Even i did'nt maintain the Fixed % also, in the result, still the amounts are spilting as fixed & variable...say 16% as fixed proportion and rest of the amount as variable.

How & what is the logic behind the Fixed percentage of the overheads.

Can anybody clarify me on the concept of Fixed Percentage in Credit.

Thanks to one & all.....

The default entry is "*" which means that the fixed and variable portions of the surcharge are determined in the same way as the fixed and variable costs in the calculation base.

<b>Example</b>

A total of $1000 is charged to an order, <b>of which 60% is fixed costs and 40% is variable costs from a cost element</b>. You want to add a further 10% for overhead surcharges.

If you enter "*" in the fixed percentage field, the surcharge will be comprised of 60% fixed costs and 40% variable costs. The cost center to be credited is credited with the same amounts in fixed and variable costs.

If you enter "100" in the fixed percentage field, the whole surcharge will be comprised of fixed costs. This may be necessary, for example, if the cost center cannot accept variable costs.

Hi Sridhar.,

Thanks for your reply....

As you said, if we dont assign the fixed % in the credit for each overheads, it will take the reference from the calculation base.

Can you tell me how can chage the proportion of fixed and variable in the calculation base.....clearly. in detail. because this proportion is coming not only for the oh even for the other base rows also.....

I want the proceedure where to maintain the calculation base and how to chage that, when ever we required.

Thanks....

Hi.,

Please find this the result of the CK11N, for the production cost.

Cost Component : 3

Name of Cost Component : Production Cost

Overall Costs : 6.04 USD

Fixed : 3.69

Variable : 2.35

but the case here is, i didnt maintain any fixed % in credit, Pricing factor in valuation variant.

Even though it is coming like this Fixed & Variable.

Now what i want is, from which source the system is calculting like this. From where...i can check that what is the % for Fixed....

Please help me, it is very urgent....

Thanks.,

What is base on which the OH is calculated?

Hi.,

I know that on what that the OH will be calculated that is BASE.

But i didnt that to ask about the cost base. In the previous reply you have mentioned that, if we dont give the Fixed % in the credit, it will take as same as to the calculation base.

But no where we maintain such % for the proportion of fixed and variable. That what i want to know, where we can do that. As far as my knowledge, we dont maintain the % at the Base.

If you know that, please share to me, so that i can come out this issue.

Thanks.,
