Use transaction code : KEPC

 

In WP1, when the billing can not be released into accounting due to late cost estimate, whereby the Goods issue date is earlier than the costing released date, we need to use KEPC to by-pass the cost estimate check at the Goods issue date, by changing the costing key to ZX6, the system will read the current cost estimate (impact, FICO difference will appear).

When no cost estimate is required, we still need to use KEPC. For the target item category, the costing key needs to be defined as blank instead of ZX6.

 

 

STEP 1

Use transaction code : KEPC


KEPC - Assign Costing Keys to Any Characteristics : Initial Screen



STEP 2

Select the option "Maintain the Rule Values" 


 

 

STEP 3

Switch to change mode

 

 

STEP 4


Find the item category and plant code:

(at VA03 or VF03)





 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 -> VA03

or

 -> VF03



STEP 5

Apply the filters at KEPC: 

  • Company code
  • Plant
  • Item category





NOTES:

The common item category are ZMAN, ZNLC (intercompany cross plant replenishment)


We may have other item categories to be considered in this process (FGN, TAB, TAS, etc).


For item categories which are not detailed on KEPC, a new temporary entry must be created. 

However, majority of the cases, the item category is already included on a range, so the system would not allow adding a new entry. 

Example: Item category FGN its included on the range { CH00 - TAPA }.

In that case, you just have to change the range where the item category belongs to.

This range will be identified with the symbol .


 

STEP 6

Move to the right



STEP 7

Please do only ONE of the following actions:

*If Cost estimate is applicable:

Change the Z06 to ZX6 and Save  


*If NO Cost estimate is required:

Remove the Z06 and Save  








STEP 8

Go to VFX3 or VF02 and release the billing



STEP 9

KEPC: Revert back to Z06 and save
