Prerequisites

You can only mark cost estimates that have no errors. Such cost estimates have the status KA. Cost estimates with errors have the status KF. You cannot mark these.

The validity of the standard cost estimate corresponds with the current period in the material master.

Marking the standard cost estimate has been allowed.

Note

To mark standard cost estimates in a costing run, see Costing Run: Marking for Standard Price.

Procedure

  1. Choose Accounting ® Controlling ® Product Cost Controlling ® Product Cost Planning ® Material Costing ® Price Update.
  2. The screen Price Update: Mark Standard Price appears.

  3. Enter the posting period and fiscal year.
  4. Enter the selection criteria for the cost estimate to be marked:

If you do not enter any data, the system selects all the company codes in the controlling area.

If you do not enter any data, the system selects either all the plants of the company code specified, or, if no company code has been specified, all the plants of all the company codes.

If you do not enter any data, the system selects all the materials for marking.

If you do not enter any selection criteria, the system marks all the cost estimates in all the company codes of the controlling area for which marking is allowed.

  1. Specify which valuation view is to be marked.
  2. This step only applies if you want to cost multiple values (see Group Costing).

  3. Choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Marking allowance to display the allowance for marking or to issue the allowance. ( See also Allowing Marking)
  4. The screen Price Update: Organizational Measure appears. For more information, see Allowing Marking. Choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text to return to the marking.

  5. By setting the corresponding indicator, you determine whether:
  1. Choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text to execute marking.

Note

If you have set the indicator Background processing, marking is not carried out immediately. The system next displays the dialog box Background Processing: Job Parameters.

Set the indicator Immediate start if you want to start marking immediately in the background, or enter the date from which the job should be started. Choose

For more information, see Background Processing.

Result

If you carried out marking online but did not set the indicator With list, the system issues a message containing the information as to how many standard cost estimates were marked successfully or had errors.

If you carried out marking online and set the indicator With list, the system displays a list of materials that were marked or, in the case of a test run, will be marked.

This list can easily be adapted to suit your requirements. For more information, see Functions of the ABAP List Viewer.

If you choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text in this list, you can go to the log containing the system messages. You can also edit this log and adapt it to your requirements. To go to the long text of a message, place the cursor on the desired line and choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text. To go back to the list of marked materials, choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text in the toolbar of the log. For more information, see Logs in Material Costing.

To return to the screen Price Update: Mark Standard Price, choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text in the application menu. If you choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Log in this screen, you can call the log which you last generated once again.

Note

After marking, the results of the standard cost estimate are updated as the future standard price in the material master (accounting view and costing view). Marking does not affect the material stock value.

In a further step, you can now release the results of the standard cost estimate in the material master record as the current standard price.

Note

Provided no standard cost estimate has been released, you can cancel both the allowance for marking and the marking which has already been carried out. All marking in the selected company code will then be canceled. For the procedure, see Allowing Marking.
