Problem in cost estimate

[ankit_agarwal8]

Hi Gurus,

We have a finished materials which have price control as S in material master. In the BOM of this finished material, there are some bought out material. For these bought out materials, price control is maintained as V. When we are running the cost estimate for the finish material, system is not taking the MAP of bought out materials,instead of MAP, system is calculating std price of bought out materials. Procurement type is maintained as  E in the bought out material. In OKKN(valuation variant), we have maintained as price as per price control in the material master.

What is the reason behind this. I want to pick MAP for bought out materials as per the price control maintained in the material master,Please help.

Dear Ankit

First of all if the material are bought you should maintain procurement type F and not E. Secondly in your query you have written "system is calculating std price of bought out materials." which is confusing me. What is your exact problem. Whether at SCE system is calculating Std cost for bought out materials also OR at SCE system is picking Std cost available at material master?

If System is calculating SC for bought out also is your problem. you should tick "Do Not Cost' box in material master at costing 1 tab.

If system is picking Standard cost of bought out materials at the time of SCE of FG, then kindly check have you maintained special procurement type also for bought out materials? also tell us whether the materials are stock transferred from other plant?

Hi Rajneesh,

Thanx for your kind response.

If I tick the "Do not Cost" check box, system will not take this material's cost during the cost estimate of finished good.

Material is not stock transfer from the other plant.And also we have not maintained any special procurement type for this bought out material.

Hi,

If you tick the material as do not cost and the material is included in another cost estimate as a component to be valuated, the valuation price is determined through the valuation variant if no cost estimate with the same key exists for the material.

Just test this and come back to us.

Additionally the procurement key should be F if it is procured externally, and in that case the do not cost is not required.

Hi Ali,

Thanx for your reply.

My problem is solved with changing the procurement type. But I am not understanding how procurement type is getting preference over  the setting of Price control indicator and valuation variant setting.

Please advice.

It is because if you don't use the do not cost indicator, the system need to define how to cost the material.

Procurement type is used by the system to determine if it needs a BOM/routing or not.

If you put E and do not cost not checked then the system start by exploding the quantity structure and then valuate each component of it using the valuation variant.

If you put F and do not cost not checked then the system look at the valuation variant of the material.

If you check do not cost, the system use the valuation variant.

hope this clarify

Hi Ankit,

Is the transfer control active for your costing variant?

If yes, check CKR1, there must be a current standard estimate for the BOM material.

This is getting copied when you run the top level material

Hi Abhinav,

Thanx for your reply.

But we are not using the transfer control in our costing variant.

Hi Ankit,

Is this for special stock - project or sales order?

Another thing to check - in the MBEW table, for the given material and plant, check for the field LBWST, what does it indicate?

Also check field STRAT in table CKIS - what does it indicate for this cost estimate?

Hi Abhinav,

Many Thanx for your reply.

In MBEW table, filed LBWST field is blank for my finished material and bought out material.
