1 Product Costing with split valuation

Question- We have split valuation for Finished Goods with different valuation types. With Valuation type, we have price
indicator -S and for without valuation types, we have price indicator V. When doing costing run, system not picking
valuation types. System is updating Standard price without valuation type where the price control is V.

https://answers.sap.com/questions/7468300/product-costing-with-split-valuation.html

Because of this system is not updating the value of stock as per the standard price.

Is there any way to do the costing with valuation type specific?

Answer- Cost estimate is created for header segment and this is initial SAP standard design. If one material has the split
valuation, then standard price will be released at header segment where valuation type is Blank.

You can release the standard price for inhouse production segment, if default flag is ticked for inhouse prod in OMWC.
Setting this flag will take impact on materials WITH split valuation in the future. New prices will be released for the in-
house segment in addition to header segment in TA CK24.

Alternatively, mixed costing can be used to release the price for alternative procurement associated with valuation types.
Please refer to NOTE 552486 (FAQ):
"Question 10: In the case of a split valuation, why can the prices only be updated in the internal segment?
Question2:

Based on the recommended solution to use mixed costing to mark and release the standard cost estimate to the material at valuation type
level, i have tested this recommendation in the SAP system.
However, the mark and release function using CK24 only allow one (1) costing version to be updated to the standard price for only one
valuation type. If the material have 2 or more valuation type, how to update the different costing version to the respective valuation type?
I have a scenario below:-
Material XYZ has split valuation which consist of Valuation Type A and Valuation Type B. Both valuation type are using standard costing
(S) in the price control.
Using the Mixed Costing approach, we can use different costing version to represent different cost estimate. So, we have created 2 costing
version.
Costing version 1 is to represent the standard cost estimate for material XYZ in valuation type A.
Costing version 2 is to represent the standard cost estimate for material XYZ in valuaiton type B.
Hence, when we use CK24 to mark and release the standard cost estimate, system only allow one costing version to be updated to the
material master at the valuation type level.
My question is how do we update the standard cost estimate for more than one valuation type for the same material?

Wiki Help Article

https://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPFI/Split+Valuation

So if you want to release the standard prices for valuation segments you need to use the functionality
of mixed costing.
That means that you have to define a quantity structure category and define a procurement alternative
based on a valuation type of your material. Afterwards you have defined a mixing ratio for your material
and the defined quantity structure category.
If you mark and release the mixed cost estimate the system will set the standard price on valuation type
level.

The procurement alternative is based on the valuation level, if new valuation types are created for the
material after releasing standard price, you would have to release all valuation types again (included in
the mixing ratio).
If the Material Ledger is active for the plant, the releasing can be rejected by the status check.
In this case, we recommend to enter manually the standard price for the new valuation type (to be used
in current period), create the new cost estimate and release it for the next period.

2 SAP Mixed Costing Functionality

https://www.erpcorp.com/sap-controlling-blog/sap-mixed-costing-functionality
Within the Product Costing module SAP offers Mixed Costing functionality. This functionality provides
the ability to cost a material using multiple alternative methods, for example when a material is produced
with different internal processes. For companies running the PP-PI module that is specified through
separate production versions, which would use different master recipes. When executing a cost
estimate the system calculates the cost for each production version, then calculates an average unit
cost using weighting factors provided manually. With the Cost Estimate display (CK13N) the system
shows the total cost of each procurement alternative and has the ability to view the detail of each.

There are two pieces of master data that need to be created: Procurement alternatives (with
transactions CK91N) and mixing ratios (with transaction CK94.) Procurement alternatives define how
the material is procured, which can be internally or externally; for example, production versions for the
internally produced alternatives. The mixing ratios specify the weighting factors, for example the
production volumes to be produced for the year using each of the production versions.
On the actual side, a particular process order will be produced with a specific production version. The
target costs for the process order are calculated based on the cost estimate data related to that
production version. The credit for production uses the weighted average standard cost calculated. The
difference between the two multiplied by the production quantity is calculated and reported as mixed
price variance when executing the variance calculation transaction (KKS1 / KKS2) using the standard
delivered variance categories. When the unit cost of the production version used is higher than the
standard cost, unfavorable mixed price variance is calculated; when it is lower, favorable mixed price
variance is calculated.

3 How to configure Mixed Costing

https://blogs.sap.com/2010/05/17/how-to-configure-mixed-costing/
7 Li kes 10,835 Vi ews 4 C omments

Mixed costing is very useful in some cases. For example, it’s the only way to release a standard cost estimate for each
procurement alternative that is associated with a valuation type.
Recently I got some requests to explain in details how the mixed costing works. I hope this blog can help to explain.
The prerequisite for the mixed costing is as below:
– A quantity structure type is configured in the customizing
– This quantity structure type is associated to a costing version in the Customizing.
– The Procurement alternatives for the material have bee defined
– The mixing ratios for the procurement alternatives are defined based on the quantity structure type
– The material is costed with the above-defined costing version.
1. Define the quantity structure type
The path to configure mixed costing is as below (ECC 6.0):
The tcode for quantity structure type is OMXA.

Now I created the qty structure type “MIX”.

“Time Dependency” – This controls the time period in which the quantity structure will be used. It can be time
indepenent, based on fiscal year, or based on each period.
“Percent validation” – Tick this indicator if you want to ensure that the sum of the existing mixing ratios for a material
and quantity structure type totals 100%.

2. Associate the quantity structure type to a costing version

The path is right after that for the quantity structure type.
For the attached screenshot, the mixed costing will be called with the qty structure type MIX, when costing version = 1
& costing type = 19, or when costing version = 99 & costing type = 01 & valuation variant = 001. The system will not do
mixed costing for the other combinations of costing version & costing type & valuation variant.
In this transaction, you can also define:
– Variant for transfer price determination
– Exchange rate type for currency translation

The configuration for the costing version can also be checked via costing variant configuration(tcode OKKN). It’s a
more convenient way as the configuration is based on the combination.

In the Assignment tab, click the costing version button.

You’ll see for the costing variant PPC1 (costing type 01, valuation variant 001), costing version 99 is assigned the qty
structure type “MIX”.

3. Define procurement alternatives

The tcode is CK91N. Here we need to create the procurement alt per material/plant.
I created two proc alternatives for different versions. It’s also possible to create alternatives for different valuation
type/process cateogry/etc…

For process category

– Production
you can choose to create procurement alternatives for in-house production either with production versions or by using
the BOM and routing.
– Purchase order
You can then enter a vendor and the relevant purchasing org in the initial screen.
In the cost estimate for a procurement alternative with reference to a vendor, strategy “L” (price from purchasing
info record) is always automatically set to highest priority strategy. If you want to have a different logic, you may
consider note 636967 and 319832.
You can also create an unspecified procurement alternative. To do this, do not enter a vendor or a purchasing
organization. The material is then valuated with the prices in the material master and not using the purchasing info
record.
– Subcontracting
In this case the system will require you to enter the information on the BOM, vendor and purchasing org.
– Stock transfer
You’ll be required to enter the source plant

4. Define Mixing Ratios for the procurement alternatives

The tcode is ck94

Here we can create the mixing ratios for the material per qty structure type.
Since our Qty Structure type “MIX” is based on fiscal year, here we only need to enter the “fiscal year” information.
If it’s based on period, we need to create the mixing ratios for each period.
Here all the proc alt created via CK91N will be displayed. And you can assign the mixing radio to them as you want.
– MR indicator
Set this indicator if you want to include a procurement alternative in mixed costing. It will ensure this procurement alt
will be included in a mixed costing (even with a weighting of 0).
– Mixing Ratio
This is the most import figure in this transaction. You can enter equivalence numbers or percentages. But if “Percent
validation” is ticked for the qty structure type, the sum of the existing mixing ratios must totals 100%.

5. Cost the material with the above-defined costing version.

Create a cost estimate for material YS-FRAME-01/plant IWS0 with costing variant PPC1 and costing version 99. The
mixed costing is successfully carried out, as expected.
Please note, the costing lot size of mixed costing is different with the normal costing.
For more information please refer to note 402440, which provided very detailed explanation of the logic together with
some examples.

4 Mixed costing
http://costingwithsap.blogspot.com/2011/11/mixed-costing.html

Use
You can use this function when you

 use different production processes to manufacture a product

 use different sources for procuring a material
The costing of either of these alternatives leads to differing manufacturing costs or purchase prices. Within a mixed costing
you can calculate a mixed price.

A mixed cost estimate allows you to calculate a mixed price. You can update the mixed price as a standard price, and also
use this mixed price to valuate materials controlled with S price.

If you display the itemization created with the cost estimate, you will see a special type of itemization. Each line in this
itemization corresponds to exactly one procurement alternative that was created for the material costed. The individual
procurement alternatives are identified under item category M (material). In addition to showing the procurement alternative,
a flexible itemization can also show the equivalence numbers used to weight the procurement alternative in the mixed
costing.

The path is right after that for the quantity structure type.
For the attached screenshot, the mixed costing will be called with the qty structure type Z001, when
costing version = 1 will be used. The system will not do mixed costing for the other combinations of
costing version & costing type & valuation variant.
In this transaction, you can also define:

confirm; whether you you wanna use versions or you want to use BOM/Routing for creation of
alternatives.
You need to click confirm after giving relevant production version, lot size and changeable name
(optional, used to name this alternative, it can be changed afterwards)

For process category

4. Define Mixing Ratios for the procurement alternatives (Transaction Code CK94)
Here we can create the mixing ratios for the material per qty structure type.
Since our Qty Structure type "Z001" is based on fiscal year, here we only need to enter the "fiscal
year" information.
If it's based on period, we need to create the mixing ratios for each period.

Here all the proc alt created via CK91N will be displayed. And you can assign the mixing radio to
them as you want.

 5 Mixed Costing
https://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPFI/Mixed+Costing

You can use Mixed Costing when:

- Use different production process to manufacture a product.
- Use different sources for procuring a process.
A mixed cost estimate allows you to calculate a mixed price. You can update the mixed price as a
standard price, and also use this mixed price to valuate materials controlled with S price.
To be able to create the mixed price, there must exist a procurement alternative for each of the
production processes or supply sources.
The mixed price is resultant by applying a weighting factor for each of the cost estimates to the
procurement alternatives using equivalence numbers.

The system first costs the procurement alternatives, before mixing the cost estimates (using the defined
mixing ratios) and calculating the mixed price.
How to carry out a mixed costing:

 Define the Procurement alternatives:

It is necessary to create one or more procurement alternative for each process category.
 Define a quantity structure type in Customizing:

 Define mixing ratios for the procurement alternatives in the application as based on the quantity
structure type defined above:
 Assign this quantity structure type to a costing version in Customizing:
 You have carried out the material costing based on the above defined costing version:

Relevant notes
-If the costing lot size of a mixed costing cannot be explained please check the note 402440 which
describes in detail how it is calculated.
-With mixed costing the system usually puts strategy 'Price form purchasing info record' to priority
1 if it is included in the valuation variant at any priority. Please see for further details notes:
898633 Mixed costing: Sequence of the valuation strategies.
319832 MixCostg: Only mat.master price w/cost est f.vendor.
-With the note 636967, when you enter strategy U (valuation price with USEREXIT) as priority 1, this
strategy remains priority 1, and strategy L (price from purchasing information record), which is also
required, receives priority 2.
-With mixed costing it is not possible to consider additive costs. Please see KBA
note 1573495 ‘Additive Costs do not appear in a Mixed Costing Scenario’.
-Note 1995003 - CK74N/CK75N cannot be run in background.
-Note 1946259 - Dump RAISE_EXCEPTION in the program SAPLCKMLMVSCR running CK40N or
CK11N.

6 Phantom Material

Please tell me what is meant by a phantom material?

A. Phantom Assemblies: - A phantom assembly is a logical (rather than functional) grouping of materials.
- From the design point of view, these materials are grouped together to form an assembly. The components of a
phantom assembly are grouped together to be built into the assembly on the next level up the product structure.
- From the production point of view, these materials are not actually assembled to form a physical unit.
Example: -
Assembling a pair of gearwheels
Engineering/design view: one assembly
Assembly view:
Gearwheel 1 goes into the driving gear
Gearwheel 2 goes into the output gear
You can define the special procurement key phantom assembly in the material requirements planning (MRP) data of
the material master record for a material.
Dependent requirements for the superior assembly are passed directly down to the components of the phantom
assembly, skipping the phantom assembly. Planned orders and purchase requisitions are also produced only for the
components of the phantom assembly.

B. A phantom assembly is used when you want to be able to structure a BOM so it is easy to understand, but don't
want to create too many production orders.
Assume an auto Engine. There are hundreds of components. You might structure them as: Engine block and parts,
camshaft and parts, and 6 piston assemblies. But you don't want to create 3 production orders, too much hassle. So
you want to issue the components for the piston assembly in the same production order as the Engine block. So you
create a new material number for the Piston assembly, but you mark it as a phantom assembly. That means that when
you create the bom for the Engine assembly, you only have two assemblies, the Engine block and the Camshaft. You
add the phantom assembly for the Piston Assembly to the Engine block BOM, saying it requires 8 of the phantom
assembly. When the production order is created for the Engine block, the picklist will also include all of the components
of the 8 piston assemblies.
1) When to use, or not use a phantom assembly?
If you need to do cost accounting on how many hours it takes to assemble a piston assembly, it cannot be a phantom
assembly, because as a part of the Engine block assembly, the labor costs are included in the Engine block production
order, and therefore in the standard cost.
2) Can the assembly people pick out the parts for the phantom assembly from the all of the components in the Kit?
If the guy assembling the Engine Block gets confused because of all of the components for the Piston assemblies are
there, then it cannot be a phantom assembly. But if they can seperate them easily, go for it. A printed circuit board
assembly should never be a phantom assembly, because all of those little parts for each type of PC board must be
kept separate.
3) Do you usually build 100 piston assemblies, put them into stock, then issue 8 at a time to build an Engine
Assembly?
If so, it is not a phantom assembly. If the Piston assembly is a phantom, you only build the 8 you need while you are
building the Engine Block assembly. You normally do NOT store a piston assembly (phantom assembly) in stock.
4) However, sometimes a customer calls and wants you to send them all of the components for One Piston Assembly.
By having it set as a phantom assembly, even though you don't usually create seperate production orders, in this case
you CAN create a production order for one, pull the components, close the PO, and send the parts off to your
customer.
5) You complete a Engine Assembly.
As you are walking it back to the stockroom, you drop it on the floor, and it breaks! Damn, but you can still save the
piston assemblies. Since they do have a SAP material number, you CAN put those back into stock. Most MRP systems
WILL recognize that you happen to have 8 piston assemblies in stock, and will issue those whole assemblies to the
next order for a Engine Block.

7 SAP Phantom Assembly

Welcome to the next tutorial of SAP PP training! Before reading this tutorial it is mandatory to learn
about SAP bills of material because this tutorial will build upon this concept. SAP phantom assembly is
a special non-stock material that has its own components (i.e., a product structure). SAP phantom
assemblies are frequently used in automobile industry where several items (like nuts, bolts or
accessories) are required at different levels of BOM. Instead of repeating these items again and again in
BOM, they are attached to a phantom item and this phantom item will represent those items.

7.1 Advantages of SAP Phantom Assembly

SAP phantom assemblies reduce master data maintenance. Since several items are grouped by a
phantom assembly, we do not need to maintain all these items again and again. Also, changes in items
can be done inside BOM of the phantom assembly, so that changes are applicable to the high-level
BOMs where this phantom assembly is used.

7.2 Master Data Settings for SAP Phantom Assembly

Phantom materials are identified by “Special procurement” key in material master (MRP 2 View). The
special procurement key “50” represents a phantom item.

SAP
Phantom Assembly Key in Material Master Data

7.3 SAP Phantom Assembly in Planning

SAP phantom assembly is not actually produced or purchased. Therefore, phantom assemblies pass
the dependent requirements directly to the lower BOM level. Dependent requirements will be generated
for components of the phantom assembly, and planned orders or purchase requisitions are created only
for these components. Let’s say a wheel assembly is a phantom material which groups together rear
wheels, front wheels and their associated components. This wheel assembly is assigned to a final
product “truck”.
 SAP Phantom Assembly
Example – A Wheel Assembly
Here when truck production is planned for future, SAP system also plans for cabin, chassis and engine
sub-assemblies. The requirement or demand for the chassis assembly will be passed to the wheel
assembly which is a phantom assembly. During MRP (Material Requirement Planning) system will pass
the chassis requirement directly to front wheels and rear wheels.

7.4 SAP Phantom Assembly in Costing

During costing, SAP system explodes BOM and calculates the planned costs for all the material
components in the phantom assembly. Phantom assembly’s material components are displayed and
updated in the cost estimate of the higher-level material. The results of the cost estimate will be updated
with a reference to the phantom assembly.

7.5 Explosion Control for SAP Phantom Assembly

We can stop the phantom assembly behavior at the BOM item level by using phantom assembly off
indicator. This will override the special procurement type 50 setting and will make it behave as a normal
assembly. This business function can be used in cases where the same assembly acts as a phantom
item in some of the final assemblies and as a normal assembly in some other final assemblies.

Let’s consider an example. A truck with 12 Ton capacity wheel assembly where it acts as phantom item
(i.e., directly assembled into the truck). But for a truck with 20 Ton capacity, wheel assemblies are
assembled separately and are attached to the truck due to some technical design aspect. In former
case, the wheel assembly is defined as “Phantom Item” in material master by setting the special
procurement key 50. On the other hand, in the BOM of 20 T truck, the phantom assembly off Indicator
will be set. So that a separate planned order will be generated for 20 T truck requirements alone but not
for 12 T truck.
 SAP
Phantom Assembly Off Indicator in BOM
In the material master of the wheel assembly, phantom assembly is set in the special procurement field.
The wheel assembly is a material component in a higher-level BOM and has item number 0010. It also
has a BOM of its own, containing components rear wheels and front wheels. In the standard system,
dependent requirements are generated for components when the BOM is exploded in MRP.

The following graphic shows how a BOM that contains a phantom assembly is exploded for production.
The phantom assembly (wheel assembly) is ignored and only the components of the phantom assembly
(components rear wheels and back wheels) are read.

Example of
How a Phantom Assembly is Exploded for Production
The BOM of 20 T truck that contains a phantom assembly (wheel assembly) is also exploded. However,
the explosion type is set to off for phantom assembly in BOM, so the material wheel assembly is also
included in the planning run.

How a Phantom Assembly is Exploded for Production when Phantom Assembly Indicator is Enabled

8 Exploring Special Procurement Types: Phantom Assemblies

https://blogs.sap.com/2013/09/06/exploring-special-procurement-types-phantom-assemblies/

Introduction:

For a plant, the term ‘procurement’ refers to the process of getting inventory of a particular material. In a simple and
broad classification, procurements can be:

 In-house production
 External procurement

In the simplest case of External procurement, an order is placed to a supplier for a material, and the supplier supplies
it.

In the simplest case of In-house production, a product is manufactured in a plant location (work center) based on a
Routing and a Bill of Material.

In practice, the procurement process can be more complex. The procurement type of a material may not be ‘the
simplest in-house production’ or ‘the simplest external procurement’. In SAP, these complex procurement types are
addressed by ‘special procurement types’ ‘that more closely defines the process of procurement’.

Overview:

The special procurement keys are defined in OMD9 configuration. The configuration is stored in T460A configuration
table. You can call this configuration alternatively by calling transaction SM30 and maintaining view V460A.
In this document we will try to explore special procurement type ’50’ Phantom Assemblies.

The special procurement type is maintained in Material Master MRP2 view (MARC – SOBSL). This is a plant level data
field.

Phantom Assemblies:

Phantom assemblies are ‘logical groupings’ of components, and they are ‘fictitious assemblies’ that never get
produced. Their components are integrated with the higher level product. The basic reasons of the popular use of
phantom assemblies are:

 Grouping by a logical process and creation of a ‘nomenclature’

 Simplicity in the BOM structure for a complex in-house product containing thousands of materials as BOM
components.

Configuration setting for the special procurement type ‘Phantom Assemblies’:

Regarding master data difference of a phantom assembly and a real assembly is: a phantom assembly does not need
a Routing, since it is not going to be produced. This derives the following consequences:

 There are no planned orders/ production orders for the phantom assemblies.
 There are no stocks of the phantom assemblies.

A phantom assembly, when used as a BOM component inside a superior assembly, system automatically updates the
‘phantom’ indicator in the BOM General Item view, as well as component detail data view.

The BOM of the phantom assembly is already exploded in the Routing component allocation screen, as well as inside
Production order component overview:

The phantom assemblies are listed there for information purpose, and the indicators for phantom items are duly
updated.
The MD04 list for the Phantom Assembly remains empty:

The components of the phantom assembly although shows the dependent requirements for the Phantom Assembly.
Multilevel Phantom assemblies are supported in the system.

Further Controls:

If it is required that an assembly will be considered as phantom for one superior assembly, while it will be treated as a
real assembly for another superior assembly; that flexibility can be controlled in the following two methods. Routing will
be necessary since it is going to be treated as a real assembly.

 Defining the assembly as a real assembly in material master (procurement type E and no special procurement
type), and mentioning it as a phantom assembly in BOM component details screen. To do the same, maintain
the special procurement type for phantom assembly in the BOM component general data tab.
 Defining the phantom assembly as a phantom assembly, and use the explosion type configuration inside BOM
component general data tab.

The ‘explosion type’ is configured in:

Accordingly, the consequences like ‘creation of planned orders by MRP’ will follow since it is being treated as a real
assembly.
