PM:- Cost display in Work Order Costing tab_Two material group with same GL

[former_member275107]

Hi Experts,

We have one two Material groups with Same GL account.

Example:- Material group "A" for External service and Material group "B" for Contracts and Both material groups assigned to same GL account.

When we used Material group "A" the cost should come under External service head in costing tab of work order

and when used Material group "B" the cost should come under Contract head in costing tab of work order.

Can you please help how it can be configured in SAP

You will need to give differnt G/L accounts so that you can put the material costs in either the External or Contract sections,

Hi Vishu,

1. OMQW - Maintain Material group and Valuation Class

2. Make sure the Material is assigned with the valuation class in MM02

3. OBYC - GBB - VBR - Valuation Class (Assign the G/L account)

4. SPRO - Plant Maintenance and Customer Service - Maintenance and Service Processing - Basic Settings - Settings for Display of Costs - Maintain Value Categories

5. SPRO - Plant Maintenance and Customer Service - Maintenance and Service Processing - Basic Settings - Settings for Display of Costs -Assign Cost Elements to Value Categories

Now, you can create the order and check

Hi Terence,

Thanks for the reply..

My question is if we have 2 Material group i.e one for SERVICE and other for CONTRACT with same GL Account.

then how it can be configure so that in work order SERVICE cost and CONTRACT cost comes in separate head.

do we need to create 2 different Value categories and assigned to same cost element (GL). If yes then how system know which value category is related to which material group because we have same GL here.

Thanks

Hi Vishu,

Well, i understood your question wrongly... 😞

I dont think it is possible, because the cost displayed in PM is based on the G/L account, if the G/L account is same cost will be grouped together. I haven't tried these scenarios in my system, you can just create a order and check how it displays in the Work Order.
