standard cost split enhancement

[Former Member]

In our standard cost component design, we assign one activity type for labour, and this has been run for two years, now we need to design a customized report, which can show the break down of labour cost to packaging labour and manufacturing labour cost for a couple of materials.

based on our exsiting cost component structure, s_p99_41*** report can't achieve this, what's the best way to solve this requirement from functional perspective and I want minimizing change impact to the system. It's better we don't touch our existing cost component, at the same time meet the report requirement.

Hi

Are you saying that you have 2 cost centers - Mgf & Pkg.. But you use same Act Type LABOR in both of them... Is that right??

Is it that Semi Finished goods are manufactured in the Mfg Dept and Then FG is packed in the Pkg Dept??

If yes, then the only way w/o creating a new act type is to extract Cost Comp Split of FG & SFG and Subtract the both.. The delta amount in each cost component will pertain to Packaging only

No, say, one material 100001, it is FG, in standard costing, it has bom and routing--labour, thus it involves labour cost 300, 200 is for manufactring-labour cost, but 100 is for packaging-labour cost in ck40n.

exsiting is we use only one labour cost 300, so user can only see 300 in ck13n, now we want user to be able to see both 200 and 100 labour cost in ck13n or other report

Hi

How does the system know that out of 300, 200 is for X and 100 is for Y

You can tell the system in 2 possible ways

a. By creating a separate act type for both

b. By creating 2 separate cost centers for both... This way, in Itemization you can see Cost Centre / Act Type in the Origin Field

If you have one single cost center and one single act type - Then what you want to achieve is not possible
