Define Costing
Types
You use
costing types to define the technical parameters for unit costing
or product costing (including order costing).
The costing type specifies the
following:
- What object a cost element refers
to
The following
objects can currently be costed:
- CO production order without quantity
structure
- The form in which the costing results are
written to the object
For order costing,
you specify whether the costing results are to be treated as planned values or
actual values. For example, you can use a costing type to calculate the
planned costs of an order. You can use another costing type to valuate
material withdrawals, completion confirmations, and so on, and then to
calculate the actual costs of an order.
Standard
settings
The standard system contains predefined costing
types for all objects.

assignment of the costing type to a reference object.
3. Define how
the costing results are to be written in the reference object.
