Definition

Report that shows the calculated costs of the costing items of a material cost estimate or a sales order cost estimate by cost element.

This report is used as the standard layout cost elements (grouped) for the itemization.

Note

In earlier releases, you could save the cost element itemization when you saved the cost estimate. This is no longer possible because no cost element itemization is generated. If you use your own programs or reports to evaluate cost element itemizations from earlier releases, you must use function module CK11_ITEMIZATION_TO_COSX_CONV which generates the cost element itemization from the itemization.

Prerequisites

An itemization is generated automatically during costing. If you want to display the itemization information in the cost estimate display and the information system, you must select the Itemization indicator when you save the cost estimate.

Use

The report shows you which costs have arisen for what purpose and the quantity thereof. Cost elements split the costs according to their origin, such as material costs, personnel, and labor costs. Primary cost elements are created in cost center accounting in order to show the G/L accounts in financial accounting. Secondary cost elements are created only in cost center accounting and are only relevant for Controlling.

Example

A costing item of item category M (material) is assigned to a primary cost element.

A costing item of item category E (internal activity) is assigned to a secondary cost element (in the case of internal activity allocation).

Integration

If you enter an origin group in the material master record or in the credit key of the costing sheet, you can have this displayed in an additional field and further break down the costs by material cost element, and the overhead costs by origin group.
