Creating Additive Costs 

Procedure

Without Reference:

  1. Choose Accounting ® Controlling ® Product Cost Controlling ® Product Cost Planning ® Material Costing ® Cost Estimate with Quantity Structure ® Additive Costs ® Create.

    2. This brings you to the Create Additive Costs screen.

  2. Enter the material number and plant.
  3. Enter the following data in the Costing data tab page:
    1. Costing variant
    2. Costing version
    3. Costing lot size

      4. If you do not enter a costing lot size, the system uses the lot size from the material master.

    4. Transfer Control

      5. The transfer control proposed is from the costing variant. You can only enter or change the transfer control if the appropriate setting has been made in the costing variant. For more information, see Use of Existing Costing Data.

    5. Set the Cost comp. str. with texts indicator to generate the relevant entry tool for the cost component structure.
  1. Choose and check the proposed costing dates in the tab page Dates. You can accept or change these dates.
  2. Choose .

    3. The list screen for unit costing appears. If you have selected the indicator Cost comp. str. with texts, the system inserts a variable item in the cost component structure for every cost component in the list screen and identifies the variable item with the cost element, cost component, and description.

    The system recognizes if additive cost estimates already exist and there are overlaps in the period of validity. These cost estimates are listed in a further dialog window. Each cost estimate on this list can be used as a reference. Select the relevant cost estimate and choose .

  3. Enter or process the costing items. You can also use the detail screen of the unit cost estimate for this.
  4. Choose to save the costing items entered.

The cost estimate is saved temporarily. You can see the costs, the status of the cost estimate and additional information about the additive cost estimate sorted according to tab pages. For more information, see Analyzing the Results.

The following options are available:

Examples of such information include the material master, the costing variant and the logistical product structure.

This function is only available if you have generated a partner cost component split. A partner version must have been entered in the costing type.
  1. Choose to save the additive cost estimate permanently to the database.

With Reference:

  1. Carry out steps 1 to 3 as described above. Do not set the indicator Cost comp. str. with texts.
  2. Choose .
  3. In the Copy from screen area, enter the data for the additive cost estimate to be used as the reference.
  4. Choose Cost estimate to find any existing cost estimates.

    5. The dialog box Selection of material cost estimates - additive costs appears. Enter the selection criteria required to find the additive cost estimate, and choose . A list of cost estimates corresponding to your search criteria appears. Choose the required cost estimate with a double click.

  5. Check the costing dates proposed in the tab page Dates. You can accept or change these dates.

    6. Possible overlaps with existing additive cost estimates are recognized by the system. A further dialog box lists the cost estimates affected. These are either automatically deleted or the period is shortened.

    Each cost estimate on this list can be used as a reference. Select the relevant cost estimate and choose .

  6. Choose .

    7. The list screen for unit costing appears.

  7. Enter or process the costing items. You can also use the detail screen of the unit cost estimate for this.
  8. Choose to save the costing items entered.

    9. The additive cost estimate is saved temporarily. You see the costs and further information about the additive cost estimate under tab pages. For more information, see Step 7 of the above procedure.

  9. Choose to save the additive cost estimate permanently to the database.

Result

You can include these additive costs in an automatic cost estimate. To do this, you create a cost estimate with quantity structure or a costing run based on the same costing variant and version.
