Easy Cost Planning for Internal Orders

Use

To calculate costs on an internal order, you can alternatively use Easy Cost Planning for the unit costing.

In the following modes, you can process the costing in the ways shown:

Mode	The costing can be:
Display order	Displayed
Change order	Changed/deleted
Create order	Created

Note the following features when creating a costing for internal orders using Easy Cost Planning:

You can only plan in plan version 0.
Unit cost planning is no longer possible in overall planning.
Plan-integrated objects are not supported.

If you use a reference order when creating an internal order, and you have used Easy Cost Planning to make a calculation for this order, the same planning reference is assigned to the new internal order.

For more information on the Order Manager, see Order Manager and Collective Processing of Master Data Changes.

Prerequisites

You have not yet carried out a unit costing on the internal order.

Features

You can calculate costs and call up Execution Service.

Activities

Choose:

Accounting ® Controlling ® Internal orders ® Master data ® Order Manager in the Create order mode, or
Choose Accounting ® Controlling ® Internal orders ® Master data ® Special functions ® Order ® Create.

Choose Extras ® Costing ® Create.
A dialog box with two tab strips appears.

You can now create a costing in several ways:

Choosing a Planning Form From Easy Cost Planning

Choose Create cost estimate to go to Easy Cost Planning. From there you can use Choose planning form to decide on the input help for the planning form.

Choosing a Planning Form in the Dialog Box

If you choose in the dialog box to create with a planning form, you can choose the planning form in the following ways:

On the tab strip Create with planning form, under Subject area, choose Planning forms last used. If no planning forms are displayed (for example, if you have not yet created a cost estimate), choose All planning forms or another role-specific worklist.
The system shows all planning forms from the subject area.
Double click on a planning form to go to Easy Cost Planning.

To search for a specific planning form, enter a search term and choose Find.
Under With planning form enter the technical name of the planning form and choose Create.
You go to Easy Cost Planning with this planning form.

For all three options the costing variant is taken automatically from the order type chosen when you created the internal order. The system enters the costing date and valuation date in the Additional data tab strip, but you can change these.

After you change one of the above procedures, the Internal Order:Change:Easy Cost Planning screen appears.

You can:

Create worklists
Display document flows for the costings
Delete costings
Subdivide costings
And so on
