Costing sheet

[Former Member]

Hi All

Client is posting indirect expenses with the combination of cost center, internal orders. They have a separate tool to apportion the fixed pct of indirect expenses to products based on production. The tool is apportioning the pct based on CC and IO. They do not want to change this process. we can identify the indirect expenses to be allocated. It should be apportioned to different production orders based on production.

Now they want to implement CO module.  How can i map in SAP. please suggest.

Thx

Indirect costs / Overhead costs can be calculated on Material costs based on Percentage / Quantity method.

The process is, if your Client is calculating the OH cost on percentage based / QTY based, then go to

SPRO -> Controlling -> Product Cost Controlling ->Product Cost Planning ->Basic Settings for Material Costing ->Overhead -> Costing Sheet: Components

Here, you have to create a Credit with combination of Cost element (CE category  is 41) and assign it with Cost center or Internal order. If the Internal order is a statistical one, you can assign both.

Then Create OH Rate with available options like OH Type and Plant...etc and specify them.

And then, create the Base for OH Calculation. Here, you need to specify the Cost elements group (Material cost elements) which you are taking as base for OH cost.

Then the final step is, define the Costing sheet.

Base          Overhead group    From     To       Credit

OKTZ: OH Cost element which you have created for OH Cost with 41 category has to be assigned in Indirect cost in OKTZ. This is mandatory.

And then, assign the cost sheet to the respective Costing variant in OKKN

Let us know if you still need any further

Hi,

They do not want to calculate OH on material consumption in the production order. They have the indirect cost (tracked trough internal order). It should be apportioned to the production order based on the out put (production).

Please suggest...

Thank you..

Hi,

In  that case create the IO as statistical and give a cost center to update the same. Then allocate that cost to production order through either costing sheet or template allocation.

Hi Srinivas,

Already they have statistical IOs to collect that cost. They have customized transaction to post the expenditure (in this cost center and IO are mandatory fields). Like that they are capturing the cost.

That expenditure should be apportioned based on production.

Please suggest how can i handle this.

Hi Rajesh,

Charging the expenditure to production order through multipl ways:

1. Costing sheet-where you can go with % and amount based methods.

2. Template Allocation: Where you can charge 100% of your indirect expenditure to order

3. Additive Costing: Whenever you want a specific cost to an order use this method.

4. Activity rate: Maintain it as an activity and do activity planning. Then use the cost center in work center to hit the order.

In your case, use template allocation to charge these amounts to order based on production.

Hi Srinivas,

Suppose if i want to maintain activity type for this, i need to distribute this cost (collected through cost element & IO) to one particular cost center. In cc distribution only we have sender fields cost center and cost element, no IO field. please suggest.

Hi,

If IO is statistical, the value will post to cost center as real values. Then why do you want to again settle to a CC?

I think you requirement is, whatever cost accumulated in cost center should be allocated to production order. Am I right? Then why do you want to distribute?

Hi,

Here they have different cost centers and IOs. there is no specific cost center and IO relation. Here they have many cost centers used to collect this cost. Here they are posting different costs to the cost centers. as you suggested, if i want to maintain activity, we need to distribute the cost to one cost centre. Please....

thx

Hi Rajesh,

One simple question: Whether you want to transfer cost from one CC to other cost center or cost center to production order? Then we can find out the solution.

We can transfer cost between cost centers and IOs. Also, we can transfer cost from IOs to Cost center.

Hi,

Simple.. I have statistical orders and cost elements list. i want to transfer this cost to one cost center.

thx

Hi,

If you have cost on the IO, you can use distribution or Assessment cycle to distribute the cost from IO to CC, from cost centers by using activity allocation you can distribute the cost to orders.

I guess you can not distribute the statistical order cost to a cost center, you can transfer real postings on the IO you can transfer to CC.

Hi Rajesh,

For statistical IOs, we need to maintain a cost center. Pls maintain the cost center whichever you want to have values in the KO02 of IO. It will show all the cost in that CC. Then all the IO values to work as real values through that cost center.

But Statistical IOs we cant settle because these are only for informative purpose. So, all the statistical IOs information will capture through a cost center as real values.

Hi Srinivas,

As i told earlier, they have customised tcode to post the values. at that time (statistical IO no and CC are mandatory). Can you suggest that is there any transaction to find the values with combination of CC,CE & IO. Here the problem is they are not posted specific cost to specific IOs. they are posted same cost to different IOs. Cost centeres also different.

I want to find the cost with the above combination. then i will filter cost cost center and cost element wise and distribute to one cost center.

thx

Hi,

You can check with t-code KOB1, where you can provide the IO number, cost element, date range and execute.

Then, go to change layout (Ctr + F8) and select Partner CC from right side box.

Here, you can check the IO information with cost element and cost center combination.

It may help you.....

Hi srinivas,

In the right side box, no cost center field is there.

Thx

Hi,

You can search with 'Partner CCt'.

Hi Srinivas,

I could not find the filed with the name 'Partner CCt.

Thx

[Former Member]

Hi

I have checked it in KOB1. After execute Go to change layout and choose partner CCt from right box.

It's there pls check.

Hi Srinivas,

I could able to find with field 'AUX. acct assignment_1'.

Thank you very much..

Hi,

Can you send some screenshots of your IOs and CCs?
