Hi,

Generally the actual costs are calculated with the following formula:

Total actual costs = Actual cost debit + Actual cost credit

Actual cost debit is nothing but withdrawals, confirmations, overhead allocations, and so on

The actual credit is the cost of delivery of the order to stock.

So the problem might be the costing might not be proper for the materials that are consumed by the order. Chack there is a ost estimate run for the materials...

hope this helps..

Dear Sameer,

What order type did you use while creating the product cost collector? IF not RM01 in my

understanding then this error may occur in MFBF.

Normally the error may be like no product cost collector exists or no standard cost estimate exists or

no control record for activity type ...this error occur's in MFBF.

I doubt how this actual costs gets reflects here.

Check and revert back.

Dear Mangalraj and karthik

1)The order type I used is RM01 while creating product cost collector.

2) What are the things to be checked while running cost estimate?

Dear Sameer,

Cost estimate should be done before backflushing if in your REM profile you have made the setting for

controlling-->post activities based on standard cost estimate of the material.

So for those materials in which you have assigned this REM profile you have to take the cost rollup in

CK40N and then only you can do the backflush in MFBF.

But this error which you are getting is not related to cost estimate,

Dear mangalraj

I have run Cost estimate for that material using CK11N & CK24 in current period

The REM profile I am using is configured for standard cost estimate.

What i have to do in ck40n?

Sameer,

CK11N & CK24 should be sufficient to update the standard cost, to perform the same in mass for many materials you can use transaction CK40N.

If you are still getting the error, then the current problem could be the validity date of the costing run and Backflush posting dates.

Example:

You would have run the cost estimate today and this could be valid from 02.04.2009 to 31.12.9999, whereas you may be trying to perform backflush with posting date as 01.04.2009, in this case you would get the error mentioned by you. Simple procedure change needs to be adopted instead of posting date 01.04.2009 you should use 02.04.2009 in MFBF transaction.
