Origin of Costing Data (SAP Library - Product Cost Planning (CO-PC-PCP))

Origin of Costing Data

Use

The quantity structure is made up of the data for material consumption and for the activities and business processes used to produce a material. The quantity structure specifies the following:

Which material components are needed, and which materials are procured externally

Which operations and sub-operations are carried out to produce the material, and which operations are carried out externally

Which activities and business processes are consumed to produce the material

Integration

The cost estimate with quantity structure accesses data in the Production Planning (PP and PP-PI), Materials Management (MM), and Controlling (CO) components of the SAP System. The following table provides an overview of the origin of the data used by costing with quantity structure:

Type of data determined by cost estimate with quantity structure	From	In
The material input quantity for each component	The BOM for the material	PP
The standard times for production of the product	The routing or rate routing for the material	PP
	The work centers at which the operations are carried out	PP
The material input quantity for each co-product	The material list	PP-PI
The standard times for production of the co-product	The master recipe for the co-product	PP-PI
	The resources at which the operations and phases are carried out	PP-PI
The price for an externally-procured material	The material master record	MM
	Or the purchasing info record	MM
The price for an external operation	The purchasing info record	MM
	Or the purchase order	MM
	Or the routing or rate routing	PP
The costs for a semifinished product	The cost estimate for the semifinished product that is generated when the finished product is costed (acc. to transfer control)	CO
The price for a semifinished product processed by a vendor (subcontracting)	The purchasing info record	MM
	Or the purchase order	MM
The price for an activity used with in-house operations	Activity type planning	CO
	Or activity price calculation	CO
The conditions for the calculation of overhead	The costing sheet and, if applicable, the overhead group	CO
The process costs	The process template	CO
The costing lot size	The material master (changeable default value)	MM

When you create a cost estimate with quantity structure, the system creates the quantity structure automatically. For more information about this, see Quantity Structure Determination.

The quantity structure is valuated by the system. For more information, see Valuating the Quantity Structure.

You can use existing costing data for both creating and valuating the quantity structure. For more information, see Use of Existing Costing Data.

For information about how the system calculates overhead costs, see Overhead.

For information about the dates used by the system to create and valuate the quantity structure, see Date Control.
