Changes in the Information System of Product Cost Controlling in 4.5A
Description
This document provides an overview of the important new features in the CO-PC information system in Release 4.5A.
Order Selection
The information system in Cost Object Controlling provides new order selection functionality that no longer requires classification. You can use fields in the order master as selection criteria.
For more information, refer to Release Note New Order Selection.
Summarization
A new method of summarization is available in summarized analysis in Cost Object Controlling. This method enables you to summarize different object types (such as sales orders and production orders) using a defined hierarchy. You no longer need to use classification.
For more information, refer to Release Note Summarization Without the Use of Classification.
Joint Production
Release 4.5A provides a flexible itemization for joint production in two different display formats. You can switch between a product view and a process flow view while in the report. The product view shows only the cost of the co-product, while the process flow view also shows the costs of additional co-products and the total cost of the production process.
The new summarization method using summarization hierarchies can also be used in joint production. Here the values of the order items are summarized from the bottom up. Values on the order header are not included with orders that have items. For this reason you need to execute the "Distribution for Co-Products" function (also new in 4.5A) before you start a data collection run.
In joint production, the new order selection functionality enables you to choose during selection whether you want to select all orders, only orders with items, or only orders without items. If you want to use the order status as a selection criterion, you can specify separate status selection profiles for the order header and for the order items.
The "Distribution for Co-Products" function ensures that before the period is closed, all actual costs are on the items and therefore the functions WIP calculation, variance calculation, and settlement can be executed on the items. This enables detailed analysis of target costs, work in process, variance categories, target-actual variances, and so forth at the level of order items in reporting.
Depending on the settings, you can use the detailed reports in Product Cost by Order to monitor either the cost of the entire joint production process or the cost for the manufacture of one co-product.
For detailed information on reporting in joint production environments, see the documentation for the Product Cost Controlling Information System under Further Notes on Particular Processing in Product Cost Planning -> Special Requirements in Joint Production.
For information on additional new functions in Product Cost Controlling with joint production, refer to Joint Production.
Production Campaigns
If you are using production campaigns in Logistics, you can analyze the costs of a campaign in the Product Cost Controlling Information System. The applicable reports are in the application report tree of the Product Cost by Order component in the category More Reports.
The cost reports for the production campaign show you the planned costs, target costs, actual costs, work in process, and variances summarized across all orders assigned to the campaign. The data is shown by original cost element, and you can drill down to the origins if desired.
To monitor the costs of a single order in a campaign, you can use the detailed reports of the Product Cost by Order component.
The hierarchy graphic shows you all orders assigned to a campaign. This graphic can also display the costs and output quantities of the individual orders, or the cumulative values for the entire campaign. You can also go to detailed reports for individual orders.
A production campaign is costed by summarizing the preliminary cost estimates of all orders in the campaign. This cost estimate generates a special type of itemization. The rows of the itemization list all orders assigned to the campaign. Opening up a row displays the costing items of the preliminary cost estimate of the order.
Note
If you have assigned a business process group to a campaign, the process costs that come from
the business processes assigned to that business process group are eliminated from all cost reports
for the production campaign. This ensures that costs allocated from service orders to manufacturing orders using business processes within the campaign are not shown twice in the report.
In this case note that analysis of the costs of a single order in a campaign may lead to different results because process costs are not eliminated.
If you allocate costs within a campaign using business processes but don't assign business a process group to your production campaign, the process costs are not eliminated from the cost reports for the campaign. Consequently, a report for the production campaign will show both the debits on service orders and the debits on manufacturing orders that result from allocations of service orders. This will affect how you interpret the data.
For detailed information on the reports for campaigns, refer to the documentation for the Product Cost Controlling Information System under "Reports for Cost Controlling of Production Campaigns".
Mixed Costing
The cost estimate for a material that is used in mixed costing generates a special type of itemization. Each row of this itemization exactly corresponds to a procurement alternative that was created for the costed material. The individual procurement alternatives are shown under item category M. In addition to specifying the procurement alternative, with a flexible itemization the equivalence number can also be displayed with which the procurement alternative was weighted when the cost estimates were mixed.
If you are using mixed costing, you can analyze the costing results of a particular procurement alternative in more detail using different detailed reports on the material cost estimate. You can select the desired procurement alternative when you access the report.
If you are using the following reports in mixed costing, you receive information on the mixed cost estimate of the material and on the cost estimates of the individual procurement alternatives that exist for the material:
- List of Existing Cost Estimates
- Costed Multilevel BOM
- Analyze Costing Run
The report Variance Categories in Cost Object Controlling has a new variance category: mixed-price variance. This variance is the difference between the target credit (confirmed quantity x standard cost of procurement alternative) and the actual credit of a manufacturing order (confirmed quantity x mixed prices).
For detailed information on the new features in the information system with mixed costing, refer to the documentation Product Cost Controlling Information System under Special Requirements in Mixed Costing.
Product Cost by Period at the Product Level
If you are using periodic cost controlling at the product level, both your cost controlling functions and reporting are not based on order but on products. In the information system, therefore, you analyze the product cost collector and not the assigned manufacturing orders.
You access a detailed report for the product cost collector by entering the plant, material, and the production process. Use the F4 help to select a production process. For the designation of the production process, the report uses the name-forming characteristic combination according to the naming rule you chose.
The information system can show you the target costs, actual costs, work in process, and variances for a product cost collector. It is not possible to analyze the planned order costs of the manufacturing orders assigned to the product cost collector.
You can analyue total variances and production variances in reporting. In Release 4.5A it is not possible to analyze the planning variances (target cost version 2 in the standard system) because these variances are not calculated at the product level in Product Cost by Period.
The preliminary cost estimate for the product cost collector is saved with reference to the number of the production process. The calculated costs of the production process can be analyzed using the reports of Product Cost Planning. For a cost estimate for the product cost collector, these reports also show a procurement alternative. In the Product Cost by Period component at the product level these correspond to the production process. The designation of the procurement alternative or the production process is composed of the name-forming characteristic combinations according to the naming rule you chose.
Constraints:
If you use a product cost collector with the naming rule Production: Generic", you
cannot create a preliminary cost estimate for the product cost collector. This means that in reporting
you can only compare the actual costs with the standard cost estimate for the material. Therefore you use the corresponding reports for variance analysis only for target cost version 0.
In Release 4.5A it is not possible to calculate work in process for product cost collectors for individual requirements materials. Therefore no work in process can be shown in reporting for such product cost collectors.
For detailed information on Product Cost by Period at the product level, refer to the Release Notes Product Cost by Period at Product Level.
Commitments in Product Cost by Sales Order
A new itemization report is available in Product Cost by Sales Order. This report shows commitments for sales orders. The report is available in the application report tree for Product Cost by Sales Order under More Reports.
Product Drilldown
Due to a change in the data structure, after a release upgrade to 4.5A you must perform a data collection run for drilldown for at least one period to be able to use the product drilldown reports. This converts all data of previous collection runs so that they can be displayed in the drilldown reports.
ABAP List Viewer
A number of different reports have been converted into output as ABAP List Viewer reports. The List Viewer provides various functions with which you can modify the appearance of the report interactively. For detailed information on the ABAP List Viewer, refer to the documentation "ABAP List Viewer" in the cross-application area.
Extracts
In Release 4.5A you can use extracts in order selection, sales order selection, and in costing run analysis. Extracts are stored datasets containing the report data selected at the time the extract was generated. Using extracts avoids long runtimes when preparing report data.
