Activate Cost Component Split in Controlling Area Currency

+-In this step you specify that the

cost components of ,sales order cost estimate, or order BOM cost estimate are updated not only in the currency of the company code but also in the currency of the controlling area. This requires that the All currencies indicator be set as the control indicator for the controlling area.

If the controlling area currency is not the same as the company code currency, the following are always updated:

• Cost component splits in company code currency

• Itemizations in both currencies (provided that the costing variant allows itemizations to be saved)

If you specify the company code, a

, and a valuation variant in this step, the cost element itemizations will also be updated in the controlling area currency for cost estimates with these control parameters. You can then switch between the currencies in the detail screen of the material cost estimate.

For cost estimates in this company code that use other costing types or valuation variants, cost component splits are only updated in the company code currency.

Note

This step is only relevant if the following applies:

• The controlling area currency is not the same as the company code currency

• You want to

• calculate variances inperiod-end closing ofcost object controlling

• Your system is not set up for group costing.

If thematerial ledger is being used, material prices can be carried in three currencies or valuations. This means that:

• The raw material prices can be maintained in both currencies

• The prices for semifinished materials and finished materials can be calculated in both currencies

If the material ledger is not active, the raw material prices in the company code currency are converted to the controlling area currency.

If you have specified multiple currencies for the controlling area, the activity prices for the activity types and theoverhead are defined in both the controlling area currency and the company code currency.

The prices for externally processed operations and subcontracting are determined through purchasing info records . The values in the purchasing info record may have to be converted to both the company code currency and the controlling area currency.
