Revaluating Costing Items 

Use

The prices you see in the cost estimate are those that were valid either when the cost estimate was created or when the Revaluate function was last used.

If the master data changes, this data is not automatically updated in unit costing. However, you can revaluate the costing items manually and thus take into account the current prices.

You can select the following:

The costing items are revaluated automatically if you execute the functions Explode base planning object, Material explosion, Create cost estimate with reference or Copy cost estimate… (this is not possible in Easy Cost Planning).

The Revaluate function is not available for the detailed planning of a cost element.

Prerequisites

You are in the list screen of the unit cost estimate.

Procedure

  1. Decide which items you want to revaluate.
    1. Choose to revaluate all items of the unit cost estimate. You do not have to select any items for this.
    2. Choose if you want to revaluate selected items of the unit cost estimate only. You must select the items concerned before choosing this menu option.
    3. Choose Functions ® By item category… to revaluate only items of a certain category, such as materials and internal activities only (this is not available in Easy Cost Planning).
  2. Save the cost estimate and, if applicable, the reference object (such as the base planning object or sales order).

Result

The system revaluates the relevant items with the current prices as per the valuation variant. For more information, see Preparing for Costing.

If you are revaluating all items, the raw material costs and overhead are also recalculated. If you are revaluating certain items only, the overhead is not recalculated until the cost estimate is saved or when the function Calculate overhead is executed.

In respect of costing items that you have changed manually, the system sets the Manual price indicator. Such items are not revaluated.
