Actual Cost Component Split
Use
The actual cost component split is used to analyze actual costs over multiple production levels.
Differences from preliminary valuation
Price differences
Exchange rate differences
The entered actual costs of a material are listed according to cost components. The original identity of the costs (for example, whether they are material costs or production costs) is retained throughout all production levels.
As with material ledger data, the actual cost component split is updated based on the transactions. During the entry of follow-up costs after multilevel price determination for a material, you can analyze the complete composition of the costs in the parallel currencies / valuations. Because you can display the actual cost component split up to the level of the procurement alternative, you can compare the different production procedures with each other in detail.
At the end of the month,
Profitability Analysis
can use the actual cost component split to revaluate the cost of goods manufactured.
Integration
The actual cost component split is updated with the following:
Changes in stock
Execution of invoice verification

Features
The actual cost component split groups the actual costs according to cost components across multiple manufacturing levels. See the documentation for
Product Cost Planning
for more information on planned cost component splits.
According to your settings in Customizing, you can display a primary cost component split and/or a cost component split for cost of goods manufactured . If you want to display both cost component split types, specify which is the primary cost component split and which is the auxiliary cost component split in Customizing.
