 Cost Determination and Display of Actual Costs

Use

As soon as service or maintenance work has begun and the first completion confirmations (for example, time confirmations, material withdrawals, and so on) have been entered for the order by the employee responsible, the order will begin to incur actual costs.

You can display these costs.

Features

Display Options

The following options are available for displaying costs:

  • Displaying costs by cost elements

  • Displaying costs by value categories

You can also display the relevant key figure values at value category level for actual costs incurred by an order. To call these up, proceed as described in Displaying Key Figure Values .

For more information about displaying costs, see Displaying Costs .

Postprocessing of Errors in the Cost Determination

Occasionally, it may be that errors exist in the cost determination for the order completion confirmation, for example, if the tariff of the activity type has not been maintained at the start of a new business year.

You can still save these completion confirmations despite the presence of errors and postprocess them later once the errors have been removed. To do this, call up the function for postprocessing of actual costs. Depending on the application component in which you are working, choose one of the following menu paths:
