Make to Stock with Variant Configuration

[Former Member]

Dear

We are in a Make-to-Stock scenario with Variant Configuration.

we have material ledger active with Actual Costing.

Since I am new to this, not clear about few things..

1) For this scenario, how do we run the product costing - Is it through CK40N or at the Sales Order level ?

2) Do we need to update the CK40N every period for the finished materials ?

3) Since we use actual costing, do we need to settle the production variances to COPA ?

4) What are the periodic transactions to be done in Material Ledger ?

If I could get some guidelines on this, would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi,

1. Std estimate for Product Costing through CK40N only....

2. Yes every month need to update CK40N, again it depends upon your business requirement how they wants to Std cost to be released on monthly....

3. Yes in actual costing process would be  the same to be settled to COPA- & KE27 Actual value need to flow to COPA- in order to hit Actual COS- in COPA Value field (After ML run)

4. CKMLCP ML Closing & KE27 Actual values flow to COPA- with All CO-related activities

& refer the Variant Configuration steps link as below.

Dear Khan

Thank you for your reply.

But still one main point I am not clear:

If we use Production Variant in Make-to-Stock, what is the logic to update the CK40N price in the material master ? (We are using only 3 or 4 FG material codes).

In the Make-to-order with variant config, we do not update the price in the material master. The costing is done at the Sales Order level. Material Master price is always blank..

Dear Nikitha,

In MTO variant config for std cost in CK40N/CK11N will be set up - as per valuation variant set up             1. Price pick in Material Master-Std, Moving, Planned Price.

      2. Activity type Planned price...

      3. & so on.......

Regd,

Khan.
