Maintain Cost Component Structure

In product costing , the costing results are displayed and saved using a structure. You can create a cost component structure in this step, or check whether an existing one is sufficient for your requirements.

A cost component structure consists of up to 40 cost components.

This means that you can create up to 40 cost components that contain variable costs.

For cost components that contain full costs, the system creates a second cost field internally for the fixed costs. This means that you can create only 20 cost components that are flagged as full costs.

Before the cost component structure can be used, it must be assigned to a costing variant . Remember that the cost component structure for the estimate must be unique in the company code. You have to use masked entries for the plant and the costing variant.
