Costing
Variants for Product Costing
Here you define the control parameters for the
following:
The
costing variant is the central control parameter for costing.
Other parameters that affect costing are linked to the costing variant. You
define control parameters for the selection of BOMs and routings for creating
the structure, and also for the valuation of the quantity
structure.
These parameters are defined through the
following:
The costing variant
contains control parameters for costing. It is specified when product costing
is accessed from the sales order, and represents the link between the
application and Customizing. You can specify the costing variant in the
requirements class. (See also:
Check Requirements Class.
The costing type
specifies, among other things, what reference object (material, order,
project, etc.) costing is being performed on, and whether the reference object
can be costed with product costing, unit costing, or both.
The date control ID
in product costing determines what dates the user must enter, and specifies
which dates are shown as defaults.
- Quantity structure determination
The quantity
structure determination ID controls how the system looks for valid
alternatives to create a quantity structure for product costing using
BOMs and
routings
The quantity
structure determination ID is linked to an
order type to define order-type-dependent control parameters for
determination of dates in product costing.
The transfer control
ID determines how the system looks for existing costing data in order to use
this data in another cost estimate. It determines how the system accesses
existing cost estimates for materials in the BOM that either are in the same
plant or that have a certain
special procurement type.
The
valuation variant determines which prices are used for the
materials, internal activities and external activities that appear in the cost
estimate or order.
- A reference variant allows you to use existing
cost estimates as a template.
Overhead is calculated in a costing sheet that
is defaulted into the sales order through the requirements class. This costing
sheet is passed on to the subordinate materials in the BOM if the
Pass on costing sheet indicator in the costing type is selected.
If this indicator is not selected, the system uses the costing sheet in the
valuation variant when it calculates the overhead.
