Costing and Selecting Preferred Production Versions
The locks of the locked production versions are managed in a separate table. If the following prerequisites are met, the table is also filled when costing results are saved:
You are using transaction
Create Material Cost Estimate with Quantity Structure
(CK11N
) orEdit Costing Run
(CK40N
).You are costing at production version level. In the
Edit Costing Run
transaction (CK40N
), you are also using mixed costing. In theCreate Material Cost Estimate with Quantity Structure
transaction (CK11N
), you can also manually cost the production versions one at a time instead.You are using a costing version for which the
Production Versions in MRP
checkbox is selected in Customizing forControlling
underProduct Cost Controlling
Product Cost Planning
Selected Functions in Material Costing
Define Costing Versions
.You are using a costing variant that allows the itemization to be saved. You can make this setting in Customizing for
Controlling
underProduct Cost Controlling
Product Cost Planning
Material Cost Estimate with Quantity Structure
Define Costing Variants
.
If entries are already made in this special table before the function Release and Lock Production Versions for MRP
is executed, the application for determining the preferred production versions can access these entries to release or lock production versions. Otherwise, the application automatically creates empty entries for the selected production versions.
If you only use mixed costing for this function and you want to use existing information to automatically create the procurement alternatives required for mixed costing, you can first execute the report Automated Preparation of Mixed Costings for Production Versions
(CFB_PV_MRP_PREP_MIXCAL
). To do so, on the SAP Easy Access
screen choose System
Services
Reporting
(SA38
) and enter CFB_PV_MRP_PREP_MIXCAL. For more information, see the report documentation.
Note
The system overwrites existing procurement alternatives.
