Production Order Costing
i.e.-
A-
We define the standard values thru standard value key.
Standard values are linked to activity type in work center costing tab page.
Activity types are linked to cost centers in work center costing tab page.
To calculate the cost of the material produced we need to define the formulas in costing tab page
of work center.
B-
Create cost center in KL01.
Assign the activity type to cost center in kp26.
C-
Production Order Cost –
When a production order is created the planned costs will be calculated automatically by the
system.
This planned cost includes Raw material costs, production costs, overhead costs.
During production some scrap would have occurred so that our raw mat cost will increase
against the standards.
During production against the standard time mentioned to produce the material we would have
taken some more extra time to finish the product. This brings extra production costs.
So against the standard actuals may differ. This difference need to be settled called as variance.
Costing Variant –
Costing variants are of type planned and actual. Every costing variant contains a valuation
variant and a costing type , date control , qty str contro
VALUATION VARIANT:
Valuation variant defines the price with which the material and activities are valuated
It determines -
1. Which price is taken from material master record to calculate the material cost?
2. Which price is taken from cost center accounting to calculate the costs for internal activities.
3. Which price is taken from purchasing info rec to calculate the costs for external
activities/subcontracting?
4. Which costing sheet is used to calculate the overhead costs?
Planed cost - planned cost for the order before actual production starts. variable cost is the cost
which varies with the production usually the raw material cost.
Target costs- are calculated using the planned costs for the cost center and the planned costs
for the activity to be performed. The target costs are then compared with the actual costs for the
period. Target cost is the planned cost * qty as per the BOM ratio.
Variance: Difference between target cost and control cost that is analysed in cost accounting.
Target costs can be calculated on the basis of various costs such as standard costs or planned
costs. Control costs can be the actual costs.
COSTING TYPE:
Costing type defines the valuation view to be costed and defines the purpose of costing.
DATE CONTROL:
Controls the validity of the cost estimate, qty str date.
VALUATION CLASS:
For material costing the valuation class controls the cost element to which the planned cost of
the material are assigned and the cost element under which the actual costs are updated when
the material produced is delivered to stock
VALUATION CATEGORY:
Valuation Category specifies the criteria according to which partial stocks are distinguished from
one another.
COSTING SHEET:
The costing sheet links all the functions for overhead calculation.
In the costing sheet we determine the following
1. The direct costs to which the overhead is applied
2. The condition under which the overhead is applied
3. Whether the overhead is applied as a percentage basis or on a qty basis
4. The amount of overhead percentage
5. The validity period of the over head
6. Which object is credited (order, cost center) and which cost element in the case of actual
posting
We enter the costing sheet in the valuation variant in customising.
Production Order Costing:
Transaction wise-
After Final Confirmation of Order (Status: CNF) and GR for order Now Production Order Status
will be DLV.
Technically close the order by -Technically Complete. It is a sign to Finance team that this order
has finish from technical point of view now you can start settlement process and close the order.
Now-
Overhead calculation KGI2 or CO43
WIP calculation - KKAX or KKAO
Variance calculations - KKS2 or KKS1
Actual Settlement - KO88 or CO88
If the balance is zero means order is settled.
Configuration –
Results Analysis Key - This is for WIP calculation- 000002 WIP Calculation at Actual Costs –
Key that specifies which costing variant is used to determine the planned costs.
