Costing Variant not visible in CK24 for my plant.

Hello Experts,

Using transaction OKKN, I have created a new costing variant ZPC1 to take the place of PPC1 for updating standard cost in the material master. I basically copied most of the parameters ( including the Costing Type) from PPC1 but changed to a different Valuation Variant. Running CK11n successfully generates a cost estimate without error (status KA) that meets our requirements.

The trouble is in transaction CK24. I click the Marking allowance icon and I see both our actual plant, and the dummy preconfigured plant 0010. For our actual plant, I also see the fields populated for Costing version 1 and Released check mark. If I drill down on our plant, I get a pop-up for "Permitted std cost est variants", showing only PPC1. However, if I drill down on the dummy plant 0010, I first get a search pop-up for "Permitted std cost est variants" with an open field for "Costing Variant". Drilling down further shows both PPC1 and ZPC1.

I think maybe a "Costing Version" has been defined for our actual plant, and that is pre-selecting PPC1 and preventing me from using ZPC1, but when I search in config (transaction OKYD), I see nothing defined.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello ,

Check Your Costing type in your costing version

Check Valuation at standard price on legal valuation is there or not.

Thnx

The new costing variant ZPC1 uses the Standard, pre-configured Costing Type 01. (same costing type as PPC1).

Within Costing type 01, Price Update is set for "Standard Price", and Valuation View is set for "Legal Valuation".

The only difference between ZPC1 and PPC1 is in the Valuation Variant, in which the Material Valuation Strategy Sequence has been configured to use "Valuation Price According to Price Control in Mat.".

I just can't figure out why the "Permitted std cost est variants" for Marking Allowance in transaction CK24 only shows PPC1.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

My problem has been solved. There was actually nothing wrong with the configuration.

The problem was that the Marking Allowance had already been activated for costing variant PPC1 in period 11/2009. This was visible from the marking allowance screen by the population of the fields Costing Version 01 and the check mark in the field Releaded.

Now that we have moved on to period 12/2009, the Costing Version is blank and I see both Costing Variants available. When I select a variant to allow marking, the Costing Version gets populated. After running CK11N again to create a cost estimate for period 12, I was then able to Mark and Release my new estimate and verify that the new Standard Price updated in the Material Master.

Thanks for your help, and I hope this record may be of value to others.
