Can anyone please explain me the how the Costing takes place for the Production

Orders.

Actually, I am new to this package , In Other Package (RAMCO ERP)(The Process is like follows:a. Production Work-Order Resource Cost Posts to Finance directlyb. Material Consumption postings happens from OSV(Order Settlement Variance) ofMAC Module(Management Accounting).

Please somebody explain me as above in SAP.

The following are considered in costing,

1) cost of materials that you have issued for order

2) activity you have performed in terms of labour hours that you entered while confirming theorder (the rates for the labour are defined in the activity planning tables of controllingmodule)..which is generally associated with a formula key and attached to a workcenter that islinked to a cost center also

3) overhead as applicable with respect to that cost center based on a predetermined costcenter planning and its rate...

Costing updation in production order

How is costing updated for production order?After goods issue, conformation & GR, we do TECO.Before closing the order, costing details should be updated. Is it not?Could you please guide me as to how this is done?Also, what is the transaction code to be used?

Planned cost is caculated if you click 'cost calculation' in production order. GI go productionorder will update actual material cost. Confirmation of production order will update actualactivity cost. You can settle cost once production order has status TECO or DLV. From PP side,the transction is CO02


4/5

In IMG we can define that when we calcu. the planned cost.

There are 3 ways.- Determine planned costs when saving,- Do not determine planned costs when saving,- Determine planned costs when saving if released.

But the actual cost is posted when we draw the material, when we confirm the order......Wecan use co02 and click the calcu. cost to update the cost in the prd order.

Error in Cost Calculation

I am using 4.7. When I was saving my production order, there was this errormessage that told me that there was an error in cost calculation. Do you have anysuggestions what I couldn't have done? What can I do to fix this?

Check the log file in the Production Order -> Goto -> Logs -> For costing

Then take it from here....

Check whether the material for which you have created a production order has a price definein material master like Moving average price or Std price.

Can anyone tell me what is backflushing for? When is it use?

Back flushing is nothing but automatic goods issue. System will automatically posts the goodsissue when you confirm the operations.You have no need to make manual issue. It will reducethe effort.

Backflushing is automatic accounting (Goods issues - 261 mvt) of material consumed forproduction, at the time of confirmation. Eg. When a 4 wheeler automobile is rolled out fromassy line, 4 wheels & Tyres are deemed to be consumed and issued to production order

automatically by way of backflushing by the system.

Assy line picks the material from stores/ Assy line and use.

No Physical issue & Manual posting ( Goods Issue) by Stores.

Backflush is used for material which are a must and having fixed relationship.

This can be configured in MRP2 Screen,Work centre, Routing and production order.

Each has some special function.

If you configure this in routing or production order you have no need to activate this in MRP2or Work center screen.

MRP2 Screen defines whether material components are backflushed are to be made at thework center.

When we do the back flush the backlogs are being created for the BOM componentsand we are getting the message "Backlogs from backflush were created or changed"- its just an informative message. Do you think this has got something to do with thenegative postings ?


5/5

Backlogs are created due to different reasons.

This message tells that "there is no sufficient stocks for the bom component/not able tobackflush all the material due to plant data locked etc" at the time of backflushing the BOMMaterial and hence the Post-processing list is created that you have to Re-process for stockupdation of each material.

To avoid this you can confirm the following things.1.Ensure that suffecicient stock is available in the backflushing locations of each materail.2.To prevent the generation of "post-processing list" you can block the BOM from gettingbackflushed if sufficient stock is not available in specified location for the BOM COMPONENTS.To do this change the "REM profile" to "002"in MRP4 view for the BOM MATERIAL.(if the profileis not available you can crate it through SPRO).3. To clear the existing Backlog use transcation MF47 and re-process(be ensure that requiredstocks is available for each bom component)
