Ignore prod cost est w/o qty structure

Definition

Determines whether a cost estimate with quantity structure can access data that was produced by a cost estimate without quantity structure .

Use

You set this indicator if you do not want to work with a cost estimate without quantity structure.

If this indicator is set, the system will ignore data produced by a cost estimate without quantity structure when selecting the BOM as well as when costing. Instead, the system will attempt to calculate the costs of manufacturing the material using an existing BOM or an existing operation.

In the costing view of the material master record, you can use the With quantity structure indicator to specify that the material should be costed either with or without a quantity structure. If the Ignore cost estimate w/o qty structure indicator in the costing variant is set, the system will ignore the entry in the material master record.

If neither this indicator is set nor the With quantity structure indicator in the costing view of the material master record, the system will search for valid cost estimates without quantity structure to valuate the material components listed in the quantity structure of the cost estimate.

In sales order costing, this switch is effective only in connection with transfer control according to the principle described above.
