Planning Material Costs 

Use

If you copy the Control station technology standard network, the Control station technology component that has been assigned to it is also copied. The components are not assigned to the activities until later for the generator. For this reason, you plan the costs using material planning and delete the component Control station technology.

This planning is important for the quotation costing which has to be created at this point in time using the project.

The planned values are reduced when components are assigned later on. This avoids planning material costs twice.

Prerequisites

If you want to be able to use material planning, you must have entered a material cost element in Customizing for Project System on the tab page Activities.
