Use

You can use this report to compare two itemizations. The report compares the characteristics item number, item category, cost element, resource, material, cost center, plant/work center, cost center/activity type, operation number, BOM item, assembly indicator, and cost component.

You can access this report as follows:

Accounting ® Controlling ® Product Cost Controlling ® Product Cost Planning ® Material Costing ® Cost Estimate with Quantity Structure or Cost Estimate Without Quantity Structure ® Compare

Accounting ® Controlling ® Product Cost Controlling ® Product Cost Planning ® Information System ® Object Comparisons ® For Material ® Itemization Comparison

Note

If you access this report through the applications Cost Estimate with Quantity Structure or Cost Estimate Without Quantity Structure, enter the necessary data for the cost estimates to be compared and choose Execute. You can also enter other selection criteria in the same screen. This report is generated automatically.

SAP supplies a number of standard layouts for displaying by item category, by cost component/cost element, by operation, by costing item, and several others. You can also modify the displayed information to suit your particular requirements. For example, you can set filters, display subtotals, sort, display additional information, and save these settings as a new layout.

Note

When you access the report through the information system, you can choose a layout before actually calling up the report. You can also change this directly in the report at any time.

Depending on whether you access the report through the application or through the information system, different settings are available in the selection screen and in the report itself. For example, you can make the following settings in the selection screen of both reports:

In the field cost base or with Base, you can enter the lot size which you want the displayed costs to be based on.
With Settings ® Currency… or Switch currency… you can switch between company code currency/object currency and controlling area currency.
With a mixed cost estimate, you can use Settings ® Procurement alternative to display a cost estimate for a particular procurement alternative.

Integration

You can use Goto to access the detail screen of the cost estimate and to access the material master.
