Is it possible to influence the account used for the OPSV planned cost for PP via exit or similar?

Hi all.

In a PS scenario with assigned production orders we get planned cost from the production orders appended to the project after checking the box for that in OPSV and executing a network costing.

It seems the account used for the planned cost comes from the settings in OBYC.

Is there a way of influencing / overriding the account used for this?

Thanks / Anders

Following up on the above. I looked at this together with an ABAP:er but we could not see a way of updating the account used for the planned costs via the strategy U option.

Hi.

Thanks for feedback. I will try to elaborate further below.

As I wrote we have a PS scenario with assigned production orders. As we have the append flag set in OPSV for order type 10 we get the planned cost of the assigned production orders appended to the WBS element the production orders are assigned to.

Yes - the real planned cost calculation is done in the production orders but it only show in the project after a network costing has been done. The intention is to have a CJ9K job scheduled to run each night to ensure this is updated for all projects.

The account used comes from the configuration in OBYC; in our case 0001, VBR, 7920. Changing the account there changes the account under which the planned cost show.

I will check if we can influence the account used for the OPSV planned costs via one of the exists suggested and update back.

Before setting the OPSV flag we actually also considered another option for calculating this, working before the production orders are created. In this other option a night job creates a CK11N cost estimate for allocated materials with a change to BOM/routing. The U strategy (using COPCP0005) then reads the cost estimates in the network costing picking the latest via a CJ9K job scheduled to run after the job that creates the CK11N cost estimates.

Using OPSV is however less complex (standard) and there is also not a long time in between the materials are allocated to the production orders are created.

You could have explained your scenario with an example, so that experts can help to answer.

If my understanding is that, 'override plan cost of production order through exit', then you can use user exit COPCP002 or COPCP005 (depends on your stock situation) to control setting in valuation variant - pricing strategy 'U'. You can write your own logic to determine the planning price in the include program of the above user exits.

My assumption is that, cost planning will be done in MRP/production planning. In OPSV, you are just linking the plan cost of Production order to your WBS.
