Valuated Sales Order Stock and Actual Costing 

Use

Valuated sales order stocks are costed in Actual Costing. Transfer prices are also supported. You can display the data for this in Material Price Analysis.

The system creates a production process for every production order that is assigned to a sales order item. The production process is assigned to a procurement alternative. When the production order delivers to stock for the first time, the system creates a valuated sales order stock and initially valuates this with the standard price. With settlement of the production order, the difference between actual costs and standard costs is settled to the component Actual Costing/Material Ledger.

You create a product cost collector (see Product Cost Collectors in Sales-Order-Related Production) for an individual requirements material. The material is repetitively manufactured. Production is triggered through the planned orders that are created for each sales order item. The product cost collector collects the costs of all planned orders for individual requirements material. The product cost collector is both credited and debited during goods receipt. During goods receipt, the system creates a valuated sales order stock and initially valuates this with the standard price or the moving average price. The product cost collector is assigned to a production process. A procurement alternative exists for every sales order stock. With settlement of the production order, the difference between the actual costs and standard costs are distributed to the sales order stocks through the different procurement alternatives.

For general information on settlement and information on the distribution of differences through procurement alternatives, see the section Settlement in Product Cost by Order or Period.
