Define Valuation Variants
Valuation variants control pricing for resource planning in the Controlling component (CO).
The valuation variants are hierarchically structured as follows:
- Valuation variant
- Costing sheets
- Costing sheet rows
- Valuation variants
A valuation variant
can contain one or more
costing sheets.
- Costing Sheets
In the costing sheet
you specify which condition types, and in what sequence, the system should
consider. For pricing, the R/3 system automatically determines which costing
sheet is valid for a business transaction. It then processes sequentially the
condition types contained in the costing sheet. Costing sheets can consist of
one or more costing sheet rows.
- Costing Sheet Rows
The costing sheet
rows refer to
condition types . You can use the condition types defined by SAP
or define your own. The level numbers determine the order of the condition
types in the costing sheet.
You can use
condition type CQ02 to maintain your own prices or search for prices from the
material master record.
