Use
You can use an existing base planning object as a reference for your unit cost estimate (which could be for a material or production order without quantity structure), and insert either all or some of the base planning object items in the unit cost estimate.
Cost Estimate for a Sales Order that Accesses Existing Costing Items
You create a base object cost estimate for a group of product variants. This cost estimate contains all material components and activities required to produce one of these variants. This cost estimate serves mainly as a template for selecting costing items. The total value of the cost estimate is therefore ignored.
To create a cost estimate for a sales order to produce one of these variants, call up a list of all costing items for the product group and select those items required to produce the variant. You may need to insert additional costing items.
