Assign Templates to Cost Objects

In this step you specify how the templates for the calculation of the process costs are selected. Because the list of possible processes can be valid for multiple materials and orders, the template is selected through a costing sheet and an overhead key , rather than through the material being manufactured.

• The costing sheet determines the conditions for calculating overhead rates, and is usually selected through the valuation variant . This link means that process costs should be calculated in addition to overhead rates.

• The overhead key is selected through the overhead group specified in the costing view of the material master record. Through the combination of overhead key and costing sheet you can select a template in dependency on the material.

Because templates can be used in many different areas of Controlling, you must specify the environment (such as material cost estimate or Cost Object Controlling) in which the template can be used.
