Key Figures in Product Cost by Period
Product Cost by Period
uses product cost collectors as the cost object.
A large number of key figures are available in Product Cost by Period
. You can display key figures in the following ways:
Using cost analysis:
For the detailed reports for product cost collectors
For all summarization hierarchies
Using product drilldown
In the report categories object lists and object comparisons
Which key figures can be analyzed depends on the object. For general information on the key figures in Cost Object Controlling
, see the following:
Key Figures in Cost Object Controlling
Functions of Cost Analysis
In cost analysis, you determine which key figures you analyze in Product Cost by Period
. Reports of cost analysis use the functionality of the ABAP List Viewer while offering additional functions in cost analysis. You can define layouts in cost analysis containing the key figures that you want to analyze. The column selection for the layouts contains different field groups (column lists) that separate the key figures into logical groups.

For general information on grouping in layouts, see Creating and Deleting Subtotals.
You can analyze the following for product cost collectors:
Key figures that result from actual postings (such as total actual costs, actual fixed costs, actual variable costs, and the yield)
Work in process at target cost (see also:Work in Process in Product Cost by Period)
Data generated by variance calculation. Examples:
Target costs
Control costs
Individual variance categories
Absolute and percentage variances
You cannot analyze planned costs for product cost collectors because no planned costs are updated for product cost collectors in preliminary costing. You can analyze the results of preliminary cost estimates for product cost collectors in the information system of Product Cost Planning
in the reports for material cost estimates with a quantity structure.

Note
Summarized Analysis with Summarization Hierarchy
If variances are calculated for an order (product cost collector or manufacturing order), the system sets the status VCAL (variances calculated) on the order. To assure comparability, you should only summarize objects for which variances have been calculated. Use the status selection profile in the required data collection. Select the orders for which the status VCAL is active.
If objects with the settlement type periodic
or full
are summarized together and analyzed by period, this should be taken into account when the report is interpreted.
