Actual Costing- T-code ckmlcp

[Former Member]

Dear Expert,

Actually While Actual costing run (T-code CKMLCP) We are creating Variant for Period 11 2009 (for Feb 2010 as per Indian Financial yer). And It found that we are not able to select Plant for which we want to run actual costing, Because by mistake we had already created last year Variant for Period 11 2009 & run selection parameters.

Now I want to delete old variant & create new variant for Period 11 2009. or kindly suggest that It will be safe that we will run same last year variat ?? Becuase I suspect that variant will cost only for those material which was exist last year.

Hi Kaushal,

There is no harm to delete the old variant and create new Variant with all your required selection parameters. Even if you use the old one also, system will take the selection parameters valid as on date/period of Costing Run not only for last year.

Hi,

Last year We had run 1st step means selection, So If I edit same variant that it is running only for 35103 items. While in previous month We had costed for 36779 items, So it seems that that system is ignoring current items.

Dear Kaushal,

As you saved (only) the variant for Period 11, 2009.. you can delete the cycle using transaction code CKMLRUNDEL : Delete Costing Run.

Once you delete and save, you will be able to create the Actual Costing Run (CKMLCP) again for the Period 11, 2009.

You will be able to select the Plants as usual as a fresh Costing Run.

Try this and let me know the outcome please...

Message no. C+805

Diagnosis

You want to perform single-level price determination for material XXXXXX with valuation type in valuation area XXXX. You have entered the period for which the price is to be determined, but you have not yet completed period-end closing for the material in the previous period. The status of the material in the previous period is Price Change Completed.

Price determination indicator 3 requires that you perform single-level price determination (and possibly multi-level price determination) each period as well as the corresponding closing entry. This is necessary even if you have not entered any actual data for the material.

System Response

The system does not allow single-level price determination for the specified material.

Procedure

You must perform single-level price determination (and possibly multi-level, as well) and the closing entries for the previous period before proceeding.

Dear Kaushal,

The Actual Costing Run should be completed for all the periods sequentially. If you did not run Actual Costing Cycle for a single period, you will not be able to do it in the following periods (Single-level and Multi-level Price Determination).

If the previous period in question is Closed, then you need to follow the steps explained in OSS Note : 361236 to run Actual Costing for the previous period, then only you will be able to run for the current period.

If the previous period is Open, then, you run the Cycle CKMLCP for the previous period and then do for current period.

Revert back for further assistance.
