Define
Valuation Variants
In this step you check the
valuation variants for manufacturing orders.
- You use the valuation variant for preliminary
costing to determine the following:
- Which price is used to valuate materials,
external activites and subcontracting and which activity price is used to
valuate activity types and business processes in preliminary
costing.
- Which costing sheet in the master data of the
manufacturing order is defaulted.
This costing sheet
is used for overhead calculation in preliminary costing and period-end
closing.
- You use the valuation variant for simultaneous
costing to determine which activity price is used to valuate the actual
activity type and business process postings.
Strategies for
material valuation or price determination of external processing and
subcontracting are not taken to account in simultaneous costing.
In order to use the valuation variant, you must
assign it to a costing variant.
Standard
settings
The standard system contains a number of
predefined valuation variants for manufacturing orders. You can modify these
valuation variants to meet your specific requirements by changing the standard
strategy sequences.
The following standard valuation variants exist
for Product Cost by Order.
- 006 "Production Order- Plan"
- 007 "Production Order - Actual"
Actions
Check whether the standard valuation variants
meet your requirements.
If you need another valuation variant, proceed
as follows:
1. Enter an
alphanumerical key and a text for the new valuation variant.
2. Maintain the
relevant valuation strategies.
4. Assign the
valuation variant to a costing variant.
Note
If you want to use different valuation
strategies or different overhead rates in plants that belong to the same
company code, you can define plant-specific valuation variants by assigning a
valuation variant to a plant. Choose the push button Valuation
variant/plant. If you don't do this, the valuation variants
apply to all your plants.
