Hi,

You are attempting a Costing Run with a Parent Material with subsequent child materials. Costing Run will be from lower level to upper level. This run may be based on some Production Order. In the Production Order you have BOM and routing. The Parent Material is in the relative BOM of the Production Order. You need to exclude the Material from the BOM or use an alternative BOM where this material is not present for the Production Order. Kindly send the error Message for my clarity to

give you more suggestion.

Dear Sadashivam

You are right. we are carrying out costing Run for Parent Material with subsequent child materials. Costing Run will be from lower level to upper level. we are roll up the cost of BOM and routing to get calculated price. If there are errors in the intermediary component ( child item ) this error indicate in error log in costing stage ( we are running pricing for more than 1000 of items) so we have to check these errors one by one till then we won't be able to update price for correct material also. So i need of ignore the erroneous parent items by updating price if there are any errors in costing stage( CK40N - costing ). and need to continue the price update for other materials with out errors. Pls advice on this.

Thanx.

Hi Kesharika,

Pls find the following two option I found...

In costing variant (OKKN), Go To "Qty Structure" Tab. There you will find a check box "Transer Active Std Cost Est if Mat. Costed w/Errors. If you click this check box, while run the cost estimate, if the system finds any material with errors, it will automatically transfers the active standard cost estimate for those materials..

I know that this is not exact answer or solution you are looking for. Pls try to post to SAP and let me know...

I understood the concern of yours , But there is no automatic way of excluding materials(Component) with error and continuing the standard cost release with the components without error and calculating the price .

Please understand by doing this the whole purpose of costing will be killed , However the only way is you have identify the Child materails which have error and exclude those materials from BOM manually.

Good wishes

Hi Kesharika Goona...

If you want to exclude any material from Costing Run, there are two ways...

1. Go to Material Master, Costing1 view, take the check box "Do Not Cost". If you opt for this check box, the system will not consider this material for costing.

2. Where you run the standard cost estimate in CK40N, once you save you costing run with the parameters like Costing Variant etc, When you select the "Parameters" agains the Flow step of "Selection", you will be asked to give the inputs like Material Number, Plant etc.

There, against the Material Number, on the extrem right side, you will see a arrow, press that arrow, and there you can see a tab "Exclude Single Values". There you have to give the material number which you want to exclude from the costing run press "Execute" icon on the botoom-left corner of that pop-up window..

If you still face problem, pls revert back

Dear Srikanth

Thanx for your quick reply, But i want to ignore the parent items that indicate errors in the CK40n costing stage. Not in the beginning. ( Because it hard to identify the material with errors in the beginning of the costing run )

If I released costing with errors it'll give the erroneous value (price to that parent item).

Pls advice..

Hi Kesharika Goona...

The answer is same again. First you will run the cost estimate using CK40N. At the stage of analysis, you will come to know which materials are having problem.

Now go to Parameters selection in the first step and exclude those materials from costing run as I explained earlier.

In this case, you are not marking or releasing the cost estimate with errors. Because at the analysis stage itself you will come to know about the erraneous materials, you can go back to your selection parameter and exclude such materials from selection.

I hope you got it...
