Variants for Product Cost Collectors
In this step you check thevaluation variants
for Product Cost by Period.
- The valuation variant for the preliminary
costing of the product cost collector is used to determine the
following:
- Which price is used to valuate materials,
external activites and subcontracting and which activity price is used to
valuate activity types and business processes
- Which costing sheet is used for preliminary
costing
- The valuation variant for simultaneous costing
is used to determine the following:
- What activity price is used to valuate the
actual activity type and business process postings
- Which costing sheet in the product cost
collector is defaulted
This costing sheet
is used for overhead calculation in period-end closing.
Strategies for
material valuation or price determination for external processing and
subcontracting are not included in simultaneous costing and final
costing.
To be able to use the valuation variant, you
must assign it to a costing variant.
