Manufacturing Orders (SAP Library - Product Cost Controlling)

Manufacturing Orders

Here you define the parameters that influence preliminary costing, simultaneous costing, and the period-end closing activities of a manufacturing order. You can make settings in the Product Cost by Order component for the following orders:

Production orders

Process orders

Production order in CO

You define the following:

Costing variants

Costing variants contain the control parameters for preliminary costing and for simultaneous costing.

Valuation variants

A valuation variant is a parameter in a costing variant and controls the following:

Which material prices or activity prices are used to valuate materials, internal activities, and external activities in preliminary costing

Which material prices or activity prices are used to valuate materials, internal activities, and external activities in the actual data

Which costing sheet is used to apply the overhead

Order types

The order type determines such things as:

Whether commitments management is active

Which control parameters are proposed as a default for settlement

Default values for order types

In the default values for each order type and plant, you determine which parameters are proposed as defaults values for Cost Object Controlling (such as the costing variant and the results analysis key).

Planning profiles with the use of production orders in CO

If you are using production orders in CO; the costing variant is defaulted through the planing profile.
