Costs to Complete for Material Components 

Prerequisites

The material component is not managed as part of project stock because calculation of costs to complete for material components in project stock is not supported.

The costing relevance indicator must be set in the detail screen for the material component.

Features

The costs to complete in the cost forecast are determined on the basis of the resources (materials) planned for the material component.

The system determines the costs to complete as follows:

Material component category N (non-stock material component)

The system records the newly calculated planned, commitment, and actual values in the activity. The values are then included when the system determines the costs to complete for the activity. If a purchase requisition or purchase order has been entered in the system for the component, only the commitment and actual values from the component are included in the activity.

Stock material component

The following scenarios may apply in this case:

The system recalculates the planned costs in the activity and records them as costs to complete in the forecast version in the activity.

If the requirement date for the component is earlier than the key date in the cost forecast, the component is valued and the costs to complete recorded as of the period for the key date.

The system determines the open quantity in the component and values it. The open quantity is the difference between the planned quantity and the quantity in the partial issue. The system records the value so determined as costs to complete at the requirement date in the activity.
