Material Cost

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

materials are purchased against reservation.

GRN GI has been done even activity is confirmed 100% but

in reports there is no cost showing for materials..

when i take call up for the WBS, material wise cost is there..

Report s_alr_87013558.

what to do..?

[Former Member]

s_alr_87013558 is budget report , are you expecting costs there?

Try CJI3 or s_alr_87013532 instead.

Report s_alr_87013558 is Budget/Actual/commitment/assigned.

Hi,

Project costs are not shown material but by cost element and WBS element,however you can go drilldown to see which costs came from which material issue or GR.

You can see planned and actual costs by cost elements only.

I hope this help you to understand.

It seems you are managing valuated project stock and you need to see the cost of materials available in your project stock. For this please ask your CO consultant to create statistical cost element for all inventory GLs.

HI,

Material Procurement process is different & the concept of Reservations is different.

There is no concept like purchasing with & without reservation.

In PS you have an option of generating the PR & Reservation at the same time for a material component (particularly if you are dealing with Project Stock).

Create a statistical Cost Element for your stock GL account as suggested in earlier threads.

Once you make GR against your PO, then your CJI3 report will show all the line item costs. Each line item will show you the value / cost element / material number / quantity / material document number & many more as per your requirement.

Use ALV report options like filters etc... to arrive at your sigma / sub sigma values as required.

An ideal way to segregate cost in hierarchy reports is by assigning cost elements to value categories in customising.

Hope this helps...

thank you Krisap.

can you please comment on the following.

For an activity Material Components and Service component are assigned.

in report,

For Services Actual cost is displayed as that of PO value.

But for material no value.

in call up report when i apply filter for cost element cement consumed and then sub sigma

System shows 5 line items under Cement Cost element and total of it.

this total is actual cost for material cement and should be displayed as of services are displayed.

if this happens my problem is solved.

to view stock as funds committed in PS reports you need to create statistical cost elements (cost element type 90) for Inventory Accounts.

Please check the OBYC settings and find out the GLs used for inventory and cross check whether statistical CE has been created or not.

following are the detailed steps.

eg. Activity is PCC

Report s_alr_87013558

when I run report

actual cost

wbse RCC xxxx

WBSE BASEMENT RCC xxxx

NWA PCC 60142

CMP Cement 0.00

CMP Sand 0.00

CMP Fly ash 0.00

NWA Service 8955

Cost Element names

Cement Consumed

Sand Consumed

other raw material consumed (for fly ash)

Services consumed

when i take call up report for cost 60142

line items for cement sand fly ash and services are displayed.

in filter subtotals are like

cement 20151(7 LI)

sand 30027(10 LI)

fly ash 1008 (4 LI)

service 8955 (single line item)

these costs are against withdrawal qnty.

the text you mentioned under 87013558 report details :

CMP Cement 0.00

CMP Sand 0.00

CMP Fly ash 0.00

this seems to be the description of your network activities.. right? If so, then cross check the account assignment in your material PO. It might be some other project object.

where as your Cost Element reports are showing the correct value in the other report as you mentioned.

i checked out account assignment its ok..

CMP Cement 0.00 is material component cement and actual cost is 0.00

whereas it is cement 20151(7 LI)
