Definition

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

Use

Two material cost estimates are compared with each other on the basis of the cost component split by comparing the individual cost components of the cost estimates with each other.

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 process of converting the lot size proportionalizes all cost components.

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   .  

The desired cost component view (cost of goods manufactured, cost of goods sold, or inventory valuation) is entered in the selection screen in the report parameters, and can be changed in the report.

If you are using more than one cost component split, you can switch between the main cost component split and the auxiliary cost component spit while in the report.

The report can be displayed in the following currencies:

  • Controlling area currency

  • Company code currency / object currency

Integration

You can access other reports while in the report, such as:

  • Cost elements – comparison

  • Costed multilevel BOM for a costing item

  • Partner cost component splits
