Costing Variant is showing error "Object was not costed" for FG / SFG goods

[narasimhulu_konnipati]

Dear Friends,

Before i go and tell you the issue, i want to explain you what i have done.

My Client requirement is to configure a Costing variant which only shows / estimates the cost of Materials. It should not take the Routing and OH Costs.

I have created a Costing Variant ZMAT, which i have selected the options below.

1. Costing type - 01 Standard cost estimate - (Standard price and Legal valuation)

2. Valuation variant

Material Valuation - Planned Price 1

Activity type / Processes - Blank  - As i do not need any Activity cost included.

Sub-contracting - Net Quotation price and Net purchase order price

Ext. Processing  - Price from operation and Net Quotation price

Overhead - Cost sheet blank

Now the issue is,

This costing variant ZMAT is only working for Raw materials. When i tried running it for FG / SFG, It is showing the below error in initial screen itself in CK11N

   Object was not costed

       Message no. CK060

   Diagnosis

       The system could not find any entries that are relevant to costing.

   System Response

       The system did not cost the object.

Kindly suggest where i am going wrong

Thanks,

Narasimhulu

Hi,

Please do below settings T.code: OKKN in this miscellaneous tab

If in register 'Misc.' there is set '0 Messages online' please change this into 1 or 2 'Log and save messages, mail active/inactive'. After changing this, the costing doesn´t terminate and you get a log. In this log you will find the messages, which are responsible for CK060. If you eliminate the causes of the responsible messages, message CK060 should no longer be issued.

Best Regards,

Ram

Guys, good evening.

I just need your thoughts on configuring the Costing variant for only Material costs.

Excluding Activity costs, Overhead costs and Sub-contracting costs from Cost estimate.

I have achieved in excluding the Activity and OH Costs, but when i am excluding the Sub-contracting settings from Costing variant, while running costing for FG, SFG which is part of FG is taking the Standard price from material master instead of BOM.

Any thoughts.

Thanks

Hi Narasimhulu,

I assume system is looking for either BOM or Routing - check the Qty structure control in costing variant

Dear,

BOM is available for the FG / SFG which i am running.

One more thing is, we have another costing variant which we use regularly for our costing and when i run with that costing variant, system is running costing and showing results.

Some where the Costing variant is not synchronizing correctly.

Please advise

Thanks

Hi Dear,

Please check the setting of the both costing variants try to reconcile both. I know you don't want to calculate Labor cost and Overhead. See are there any other differences apart from these two.If possible could you please attach  the screen shot of quantity structure tab of the CK11N transaction

[narasimhulu_konnipati]

System is not allowing me to get into CK11N, it is throughing the error on CK11N initial screen itself. I have attached the screen shot in first post itself

This is the issue...

It seems, there is some setting missing.....anyhow i will try to reconcile once again

Thanks

Hi,

Kindly check whether in OKTZ you assigned the company code plant costing variant setting correctly.

Actually, i have configured a Costing variant a year back and we are using that successfully.

New requirement is that we need to create a Costing variant which will only shows us the Material cost.

I have created a new Costing variant, but it is not executing. For the same FG/SFG, system is executing and showing the Standard cost.

OKTZ is fine, i made it as +++

Thanks

Hi,

I believve you are getting the error as the settings for the costing variant is incompelte (as you have not maintained the valuation variant for activity prices intentionally.  As you have valid BOM and Routing I do not think the sytem will ignore or not consider the actiivty cost just because the valuation variant is not maintained for the same. 

For a solution you may have to look at workarounds as I understand for your normal costing you want to include activity cost for this specific costing variant you do not want to include the activity cost.

One workaround which strikes me is that you create a separe CO Version for this and maintian a nominal price say 0.001 per 10000 units as the price and have the valuation variant point to this and look for the lattest available price. 

Hope this helps you.
