Checklist for Cost Object Controlling with Sales-Order-Related Production 
If you are in a sales-order-related production environment, you must make a number of settings before you can use the Cost Object Controlling functionality
You must specify whether the materials are carried in a sales order stock (that is, whether the independent requirement is an individual requirement or a collective requirement).
You control this in Customizing for
Product Cost Controlling
under
Cost Object Controlling
Product Cost by Sales Order
Control of Sales-Order-Related Production
Check Account Assignment Categories
with the
Special stock
indicator.
The account assignment category is taken from the requirements class, which in turn is taken from the requirements type.

You must specify whether the sales order stock is valuated or nonvaluated.
You control this in Customizing for
Product Cost Controlling
under
Cost Object Controlling
Product Cost by Sales Order
Control of Sales-Order-Related Production
Check Requirements Classes
with the
Valuation
indicator.
Note
SAP recommends that you use a valuated sales order stock.
If you are using a valuated sales order stock, you must choose whether the valuated sales order stock is valuated separately from the make-to-stock inventory (with reference to sales document/project) or together with the make-to-stock inventory ( Valuation indicator).
You must specify whether the sales order item carries costs and revenues (that is, whether you want to use Product Cost by Sales Order ).
You control this in the account assignment category with the Consumption posting indicator.
You must specify whether your dependent requirements are individual requirements or collective requirements.
You specify this with the Individual/coll. field in the MRP 4 view of the material master record.
Management of dependent requirements in sales order stock
If this field is empty, the account assignment category of the higher-level material (in this case, the individual customer requirements) determines that the dependent requirements are also managed on the sales order stock. These materials must be manufactured or ordered for the sales order, even if make-to-stock inventories of these materials are present.
Management of the dependent requirements in make-to-stock inventory
If the field contains the entry 2 (only collective requirements), the dependent requirements can be taken from the make-to-stock inventory. The indicator Collective requirements is passed on to all lower-level materials in the production structure.
( )
To ensure that the costs for collective requirements and individual requirements materials can be correctly in rolled up in product costing, you must specify in the definition of material account determination in Materials Management that the individual requirements materials are assigned to different accounts, and thus to different primary cost elements, than the collective requirements materials.
You must define the valuation of the inventories.
If you are using a valuated sales order stock , you control the valuation of the inventories with the price control indicator in the accounting view of the material master record.
If no price control indicator has been specified in the material master record, (such as with configurable materials), the system uses the price control in the Attributes of the Material Types instead. To display the attributes of the material types, go into Customizing for Product Cost Planning .
If the material’s price control indicator is set to
S
, the valuated sales order stock is valuated according to the settings in Customizing for
Product Cost Controlling
under
Product Cost by Sales Order
Control of Sales-Order-Related Production
Check Requirements Classes
(indicators
Valuation
and
Val. strategy
).
If the material’s price control indicator is set to V , the valuated sales order stock is valuated according to the strategy defined in the valuation variant for the valuation of goods received in Customizing for Product Cost Controlling .
If you are using a nonvaluated sales order stock , the inventories are valuated using the data calculated in results analysis.
