How the Trading Goods mapped in to Product costing and COPA in Controlling

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

I have a trading goods scenario in my client. How the mapping into Product Costing and COPA.

They just purchase FG products from Vendors and Sell to their Customers, they received FG Products to Main Plant from Vendors and then sends to Branches from Main Plant, In between some expenses accured like Transport, Fright etc. this is my scenario.

How the settings to be made in Product costing and COPA.

I am waiting for your favorable reply.

Thanks,

KBR.

Hi Bhaskar

I believe branches are also created as Plants

You have 2 choices....

Choice 1: If the Freight amount is known @ the time of Transfer from Main plant to Branches, include the same in STO so that inventory value in Branch = Purchase Value + Freight amount

CHoice 2: If thats not possible, then inventory value in Branch will be same as the Main plant... The expenses incurred on freight needs to be posted to a cost center... Then allocate them @ month end based on revenue / Quantity sold etc using KEU5

Whichever choice you make, Product Costing is not relevant and required as well... You dont need to do any CK11N

If you want to see in COPA Purchase value separate and the Freight, etc separate - Then choice 2 is the route for you

Hi,

Maintain PA Transfer structure for direct posting FI/MM (KEI2).

Here you define the PA Transfer structure which is used to post cost and revenue directly to Profitability segment. you have to define the cost element and value fields here.

Please check and confirm.

Thanks and Regards

Hi,

When we purchase Trading Goods from Vendors, this Purchase cost how to link with COPA Value fields.

As per your concern through PA transfer structure It will ask Cost element, but When we purchase from Vendors this belonging to Purchase Cost (SFG/FG Material Cost) and not for Material Consumption account (Not Cost Element).

So How to get and Add Purchase Cost (Trading Goods from Vendor) with COGM (In House Production) in COPA.

My requirement is in COPA, If I select Particular Branch or Plant It should come all cost as above like Total Sales, Tax, Net Revenues, COGM + Purchase cost , Gross Profit etc......
