Processes with Valuated Stock in Transit are displayed in the material ledger, and included in the Multilevel Actual Costing. Intercompany profits between affiliated companies can be displayed in the legal valuation view in the Actual Cost Component Split. In the group valuation view, actual cost of goods manufactured including their actual cost component splits are also passed on across company code boundaries.

Note Note

In the profit center valuation view, cross-company code transfer processes are not mapped multilevel. This means for cross-company code profit centers no price differences are rolled up, and no cost component split passed on. Moreover, with cross-profit center transactions, no intercompany profit ever appears in the profit center valuation view.

End of the note.

Prerequisites

For the calculation and cost rollup of the intercompany profit in the legal valuation view, you have activated the actual costing with actual cost component split. You do not need to set up a group valuation for this.

In Customizing of Product Cost Controlling under   Product Cost Planning   Basic Settings for Material Costing   Define Cost Component Structure  , you have created a new cost component in your cost component structure for the intercompany profit in the legal valuation view, and under Delta Profit for Group Costing set the indicator Company Code.

You use the group valuation for the cross-company code cost rollup of price differences: a currency and valuation profile with group valuation must therefore exist. For additional information, see Customizing of Controlling under   General Controlling   Multiple Valuation Approaches/Transfer Prices   Basic Settings   Maintain Currency and Valuation Profile  . In addition, you have set up the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) scenario between the sender and receiver company code for sending invoices. For more information, see SAP Note 31126.

To ensure the group valuation is correct, invoices have to be transferred from sender to receiver by IDoc. In the billing document, the condition KW00 must be defined for the sender in the price determination schema, which transfers the goods issue value as the invoice value to the group valuation.

Features

Stocks in Transit in the Material Price Analysis

The valuated stock in transit is displayed in the Material Price Analysis as special stock Stock in Transit(T).

A transfer posting of warehouse stock to the stock in transit of the sender is represented as the multi-level consumption alternative Transfer Posting - Special Stock of the stock material. The description of the consumption alternatives comprises the material number, the plant, the indicator for the special stock Stock in Transit(T) and also the sales document number. You can display the sales order stock for this special stock by double-clicking on the consumption alternative.

A transfer posting from the warehouse stock or stock in transit of the sender to the warehouse stock or stock in transit of the receiver is represented on the sender side as multi-level consumption alternative Purchase Order (Group), and on the receiver side as multi-level procurement alternative Purchase Order (Group).

The stock in transit of the receiver is not displayed separately, but together with the normal stock material. The transfer posting of stock in transit of the receiver to the unrestricted-use warehouse stock of the receiver is not displayed in the material ledger.

Intercompany Profits in the Actual Cost Component Split

For a goods receipt in the receiving company code, an intercompany profit is calculated in the legal valuation view and displayed in the cost component of the cost component split that you created for this in the cost component structure. The intercompany profit is calculated from the difference between the valuation price of the sender and the procurement price (purchase order price) of the receiver. Invoices with price variances change the intercompany profit, so that in the end the intercompany profit is based on the real procurement price.

Note Note

Freight costs do not flow into the calculation of the intercompany profit. Consequently, freight invoices with price variances do not change the intercompany profit.

End of the note.

In the multilevel actual costing, the intercompany profit at the receiver is calculated based on the actual price of the sender. The intercompany profit displayed is calculated from the difference between the actual cost of goods manufactured of the sender and the real procurement costs of the receiver.

Note Note

You can suppress this calculation based on the actual price of the sender using Business Add-In (BadI) Control of Cross-Company Code Transfers(CKML_CROSS_COMPANY). The intercompany profits are then displayed being based on the real procurement costs of the receiver and the planned cost of goods manufactured of the sender.

End of the note.
Cross-Company Code Stock Transfer Processes in the Multilevel Actual Costing

Cross-company code stock transfer process are dealt with differently, depending on the valuation view.

The transfer posting from the unrestricted-use stock of the sender to the stock in transit of the sender is a multilevel process in all valuation views. This means that price variances are allocated in the multilevel actual costing from the stock material to the stock in transit, and the actual cost component split of the stock in transit is also adjusted accordingly.

Transfers of title between the company codes, that is, transfer postings of unrestriced-use warehouse stock or stock in transit of the sender to the unrestriced-use warehouse stock or stock in transit of the receiver are not treated multilevel in the legal valuation view. This means that in the multilevel actual costing, no differences are rolled up from the sender to the receiver. Instead, through the revaluation of single-level consumption on the sender side the cost of sales is valuated with the actual price of the material. On the receiver side, the valuation of the material is not changed by the multilevel actual costing, but only the intercompany profit in the actual cost component split (see below).

In the legal valuation view, the transaction on the receiver side is treated like an external procurement. Therefore, the actual cost component split of the sender is not passed on to the receiver. On the receiver side, the material value is displayed in the material cost component.

Note Note

Using Business Add-In (BadI) Control of Cross-Company Code Transfers(CKML_CROSS_COMPANY), you can specify that the actual cost component split is passed by the sender to the receiver also in the legal view. You therefore have the option of displaying the cost component split cross-company code without having to manage a group valuation view in the material ledger.

End of the note.

Transfers of title between company codes are treated in the group valuation view as multilevel processes, meaning goods receipts are valuated on the receiver side with the valuation price of the sending side. Differences are rolled up from the sender to the receiver in the multilevel actual costing. The actual cost component split is also passed from the sender to receiver in the group valuation view.

Activities

Processes with valuated stock in transit are automatically recorded in the material ledger and included in the Costing Run.

To analyze the data, in the SAP Easy Access screen choose   Accounting   Controlling   Product Cost Controlling   Actual Costing/Material Ledger   Information System   Detailed Reports   Material Price Analysis   (CKM3):

  • To display the intercompany profits for the transferred material in the legal valuation view, start the material price analysis for the receiving plant in the Cost Component view.

    Intercompany profits are displayed under Receipts , and flow into the cumulated inventory. Following the actual costing they are also displayed under Consumption and Ending Inventory.

  • To display the stock in transit, select the special stock Stock in Transit in the extended selection conditions, and enter the number and item of the delivery note as the sales document.
