Hi experts
I am facing a requirement where the actual cost and actual quantities of raw materials are available after month end, and the client would like to capture the actual cost of the final products at the day when actual cost and quantities are available.
Provided that the client would like to get the cost of the final products at cost components levels and this cost will eventually be sent to COPA for profitability analysis.
However, after month end I will be given a combination of all component materials, their quantities and prices for every product and the end result for that should be the cost for the final products in cost component levels and should also have kept all the supply chain transactions, which means to carry over any inter transfers transactions.
I came up with the below solution:
(1) Load the new component materials prices to Planned 2 field in Material Master
(2) Run cost estimate 1 (CE1) with a costing variant has a valuation variant of Planned 2 field strategy...... (Note, until now the quantity using the BOM quantity)
(3) Using the CKUC tcode, Multilevel Unit Costing, Copy CE1 to a different costing variant.
(4) in CKUC, double click on the new cost estimate and change the quantities to the new Quantities that I was given.
Note:- Sometimes not only the quantities are changed, but also taking out/in a new component material.
The above solution works perfectly and I have already tested it. However, Once I tried to enhance this Tcode (CKUC) to automatically execute the transaction for mass material, my developer faced an issue in creating BDC session for this tcode. Moreover, he said it is impossible to record a BDC session for this Tcode, because it is an enjoy Tcode.
I am not aware of any BABI to be used for this transaction and I'm hoping if someone could help with providing a solution for this.
SAP Gurus,
Please be right to the topic if you know this development can be done with BDC and/or you have any other solution that could provide the same results.
I appreciate your time reading this topic and your contribution.
