WIP in Product Cost Collectors

[Former Member]

Hi,

We use "Product Cost by Period" / "Product Cost Collector" here.

The confirmations are done only by CO15. (we don´t have confirmations by operation level).

When I run KKAS to calculate WIP, in some months appears non zero values to WIP... but what means this values, if I only use confirmations by order (CO15) (with backflush) ?

In this case (using confirmations by CO15) the value of WIP does not to be zero every time?

Thanks.

for "Product Cost by Period" / "Product Cost Collector" WIP is different than WIP in PC by order.

For by period WIP will be the "target costs" * "qty of unfinished goods (total qty - finished ones for that period)".

so if you yield less the planned amount for that period you will see WIP amounts.

Hi,

Thanks for the response, but see more about the scenario:

I open an production order for 100 pcs.

I make a confirmation of 60 pcs (CO15 / backflush)

At this moment we don´t have nothing "in process" in the factory.

In our point of view, at end of month (in this situation) WIP must be zero.

So what is your "planned amount for that period" ?

Remember: we don´t use confirmation by operation!

your planned amount for that period is 100 and you GR 60 of them. so 40 is WIP qty for you.

and WIP will be 40 * (target cost)

Hi,

The scenario is:

I open an produtction order of 100 pcs.

I make a confirmation in CO15 of 60pcs.

At this moment, I DONT have WIP in my factory.

The question is: exists WIP ? (in SAP)
