Check Valuation
Variants for Unit Costing
In this step you create a
valuation variant that contains all parameters for the valuation
of the items in the
unit cost estimate for the sales order, inquiry, or
quotation.
You create valuation strategies for the
following objects:
Here you specify the
sequence in which the system is to look for prices in the accounting view and
the costing details screen of the material master record to valuate the
material.
- Activity types and processes
Here you specify the
sequence in which the system is to look for prices in Cost Center Accounting
or Activity-Based Costing to valuate the activity types or business
processes.
You also specify
from what plan version the prices are derived. You can, however, also use the
actual prices of the previous period for valuation. Irrespective of how you
valuate the activities and processes of the period, you can revaluate the
activity types and processes at actual prices during period-end
closing.
Strategy sequences
You define the individual valuation rates of
the valuation variant as strategy sequences. For the valuation of the material
components you define, for example, a strategy sequence that reads the fields
of the material master record in the following sequence:
1. Planned
price 1
2. Standard
price
3. Moving
average price
The first nonzero price is used to valuate the
material component.
To be able to use the valuation variant in
costing, you must assign the valuation variant to a costing
variant.
Standard
Settings
- The standard system contains a number of
predefined price strategies.
- Seventeen price strategies are currently
available for material valuation. You can select up to five strategies for
each valuation variant.
- Five price strategies are available for
internal activities. You can select up to three activity prices for each
valuation variant.
- The standard system contains predefined
valuation variants. If necessary, you can adapt these valuation variants to
your requirements by changing the standard strategy sequences.
Activities
1. Enter an
alphanumerical key and a name for the new valuation variant.
2. Define a
valuation strategy for material components by entering up to five values as
the search sequence.
3. Define a
valuation strategy for internal activities by entering up to three values as
the search sequence and assigning a plan version from from Cost Center
Accounting to this valuation variant.
4. Assign the
valuation variant to a costing variant.
Further
Notes
Theoverhead for the sales order item is
calculated in a
costing sheet that is proposed through the requirements
class.
Note
If you want to use different valuation
strategies or different overhead rates in plants that belong to the same
company code, you can define plant-specific valuation variants by assigning a
valuation variant to a plant. Choose the push button Valuation
variant/plant. If you don't do this, the valuation variants
apply to all your plants.
