Hi all,

I would like to post actual costs directly in an order. The calculation are complex and calculated on a spreadsheet and I just want to post the final value in the order.

Any ideas welcome.

You can refer following procedure

Document Type: - AB Accounting document.

Company code and currency/ rate: - your configured one

Posting key:- 40 GL:- Orders Settlement - Maintenance Order

Amount:-your desired cost

Next Line item

Posting key :-50 GL :-(consult FI and use proper GL)

Then post the document

You will see the (your desired amount appeared in costing tab of Maintenance Order)

Please revert back if you have any doubts.

Tefo,

If you want to post costs directly to an order you are circumventing all the processing done in work orders.

Have you checked out costing sheets in orders for your calculations (IMG:Costing Data for Maintenance and Service Orders>Maintain Costing Sheet?

Hi

You can create a new activity type with the unit of your currency & In Maintenance Order by using this activity type calculated actual cost can be confirmed.

Another way is to directly post the actual cost to Order by using GL account.

Thanks all.

If I post directly from GL, can I see these in the cost reports in PM.

Yes, this can be done.

I would strongly suggest you talk to your FICO team

How do you use historical orders to achieve this?

Pete I asked them and did not have an answer. What should they consider using??

[peter_atkin]

You can't post costs to historical orders.

Hi,

You should be able to enter "Actual Cost" per value category on the cost tab of the Historical order. At the header level, you could enter the estimated costs of the order as well.

If you would like to use a normal order and not historical order, you could enhance the header data and include a custom field to capture the the value of Actual costs.
