Materials in Other Plants (SAP Library - Product Cost Planning (CO-PC-PCP))

Materials in Other Plants

Use

The following special procurement types are taken into account in costing:

stock transfer from another plant
Withdrawal from another plant
Production in another plant

Features

If you entered one of these special procurement types in the costing view of the material master record, the system proceeds as follows:

Materials in plants that are assigned to the company code of the plant in which the cost estimate was created are either recosted, or an existing cost estimate is transferred in accordance with the transfer control (this does not occur for Withdrawal from another plant).

For materials in plants that are assigned to a different company code, the Cost across company codes indicator in the costing variant determines how the system proceeds:

If the Cost across company codes is set, these materials are either recosted or an existing cost estimate is transferred in accordance with the transfer control (this does not occur for Withdrawal from another plant).
If the Cost across company codes indicator is not set, a price is determined in accordance with the valuation variant.

Example

In the plant of the finished product there is a material master record for a semifinished product that has a special procurement type. According to the special procurement type, the material is produced in another plant and then transferred to the plant of the finished product.

When costing the finished product, the system looks for costing data for the semifinished product in the other plant. The search proceeds according to a strategy in the transfer control:

If the system can select an existing cost estimate, the results of this cost estimate are rolled up in the cost estimate of the finished product.

If the system cannot select a cost estimate, the semifinished product is costed in the other plant and the results are rolled up directly into the cost estimate of the finished product.
