3.5 Dairy Activity-Based Costing


You use this module to perform activity-based costing for all products manufactured in a plant.

Based on period-oriented finished product planning, typical quantities for the dairy industry are determined by exploding BOMs and manufacturing methods. Valuation by plan prices is possible in a highly flexible planning environment. All objects linked in this way automatically determine allocation tariffs that are allocated to materials at all levels.

Among other options, it is possible to differentiate between proportional and fixed costs, as well as activity-induced and activity-neutral process costs.

Based on actual production quantities, a unified calculation procedure allows the reassessment of actual overhead costs.

The Activity-Based Costing module accesses various standard data structures and data structures specific to the dairy industry. For example, a maintained costing variant and certain condition types are used as fully integrated standard elements. In plan calculation mode, the production version is determined in order to explode all material BOMs that have a manufacturing method. All dependent requirements are determined and calculated down to component level.

After all primary materials have been valuated, the materials produced in-house are valuated and allocated using a cost rollup across all levels. In actual manufacturing calculation mode, the system utilizes data on actual production quantities and actual overhead costs to provide a reassessment of actual performance.


3.5.2 Key Features

Key Feature Use

Run Activity-Based Costing You use this feature to execute Activity-Based Costing runs.

These consider all materials needed for the planned production quantities. They also take into account a detailed config-uration of industry-specific factor consumptions along the production processes in order to establish highly accurate product cost estimates.

Moreover, it is possible to execute Activity-Based Costing runs that utilize data on actual production quantities and actual overhead costs to provide a reassessment of actual performance.

The explanatory power of the Activity-Based Costing results becomes visible in various highly dynamic reports.

Activity-Based Costing Reports You use this feature to analyze the results from Activity-Based Costing in highly dynamic reports that provide information on cost objects and cost allocations.

Transfer Product Cost Estimates You use this feature to transfer product cost estimates from a final Activity-Based Costing run to SAP CO-PC.

Transfer Prices for Activity Types – Cost Centers You use this feature to transfer process cost rates from the results of Activity-Based Costing to activity type planning.

The app automatically transforms the process cost rates into the standardized layout of an activity type price planning.

Post Manufacturing Costs – Actuals You use this feature to enrich and adjust actual cost of goods manufactured at process order level.

All actual overhead costs are allocated to process orders and cost centers or internal orders involved are credited.

It is efficiently possible to reverse previous postings.



3.6 Dairy Affinage


Affinage is a toolset to manage products in stock with specific characteristic qualities for which there is no SAP standard functionality available or the provided functionality is not sufficient.

The production of cheese is a particular challenge in the dairy industry. Many types of cheese have to undergo an aging process before they can be sold as finished products. During this aging process, the cheese continuously loses weight, but at the same time gains value.

As the cheese is not weighed during affinage, the aging losses through dehydration are posted based on a target value in the master data. This leads to a stock (in kg) that is as realistic as possible. Aging losses are posted based on an inventory difference posting.

The costs of the maintenance processes incurred during affinage are stored as master data in the SAP Dairy Management by msg for SAP S/4HANA solution. As a result of this specification of when and how often a maintenance process should be carried out (target value), the costs are offset against the batch-dependent material price.

The posting of aging losses and the maintenance processes provide you with a realistic material price and stock in kilograms.

3.6.2 Key Features

Key Feature Use

Manage Aging Information You use this feature to define the parameters for the aging functions. The information is defined for each storage location of a product separately.

Aging Run You use this feature to start a program that handles periodically aging materials in stock. Three options enables you to calculate the target loss for aging materials, restore their previous valuation price and clear remaining stocks for catch weigh materials in the parallel unit of measure. It is also possible to choose a condition type, which keeps process costs tariffs.

Aging Reports You use this feature to get detailed information on your current aging batches.

With the Aging Stock Overview, you monitor the current stock of your aging products by age.

With the Aging Details Gain/Loss report, you see the current gain/loss of your aging batches and use this information to optimize your default values of aging loss, for example.


Key Feature Use

Aging Cockpit You use this feature to handle all tasks relating to aging in a cockpit. This overview provides access to all the jobs and reports concerning aging material. You can call the Master Data app and run the aging function from this overview page. At a minimum, you can get a detailed view on the results by using reports and KPIs.
