Preparing for Costing: Customizing 

Use

Every cost estimate you create is based on a costing variant:

In the costing variant, you combine various control parameters and settings for costing. These settings contain information such as the prices that the system will use to cost materials, activities and business processes.

The control parameters contained in the costing variant and the settings you have to make are dependent on whether you are creating a material cost estimate or a base object cost estimate.

Each costing variant contains a valuation variant and a costing type.

A costing variant for material cost estimates contains important control parameters for the automatic determination of the quantity structure and for the update of the prices in the material master.
