Cost Elements – Comparison

Definition

Report that compares two material cost estimates on the basis of the cost elements.

Use

You can compare two material cost estimates with each other on the basis of the cost elements by comparing the cost elements with each other. The system creates a cost element itemization dynamically from the itemization of the cost estimate. This cost element itemization is not saved.

The following conversions are made:

Conversion of the second cost estimate to the base unit of measure of the first cost estimate, assuming that the conversion factors have been entered in the material master of the product of the second cost estimate.
Conversion of the lot size referenced to the base unit of measure of the first material.

If you don’t specify a lot size, the system uses the lot size of the first cost estimate. The conversion process proportionalizes all cost elements.

Structure

You can display different key figures in the report. To do this, go to the desired view from the report display with Goto ® Other Reports.

You enter the desired cost component view (cost of goods manufactured, cost of goods sold, or inventory valuation) in the selection screen in the report parameters.

The report can be displayed in the following currencies:

Controlling area currency

Company code currency / object currency

Integration

You access other reports from within the report, such as:
