Changes in Unit Costing for Release 3.0
Description
As of Release 3.0, you can create a unit costing for the following
objects:
- sales document (inquiry, quotation, sales order) (new)
- work breakdown structure element
- material (product costing without quantity structure)
- cost center + cost element
For internal orders and work breakdown structure elements, you can enter a
costing with reference to a
plan version . In this way, you can have several costings for an
order or WBS component in parallel.
From Release 3.0, following new functions exist within unit costing:
With base object explosion, you replace all base
object items in costing with the individual costing items (materials, internal
activities and so on) which were listed in this base object cost estimate. You
can either replace the base planning objects with the costing items contained
in it at all levels of costing or you can specify a number of levels.
- Apportionment into fixed and variable costs
Unit costing updates the item values both as
total costs and as fixed and variable costs. For items of item category "V"
(variable), you can specify the cost apportionment manually. For items of
category "E" (internal activity), cost apportionment is copied from cost
center planning.
If you calculate the costs of goods manufactured
for a material via unit costing, the material costs for materials already
costed are apportioned according to fixed and variable costs.
- Revaluation for specific item categories
If you carry out the function "Revaluate", the
system takes the current prices from the master data for the individual
costing items.
In Release 3.0, you can
- revaluate all costing items of a certain item category (for example, all
internal activities)
- revaluate all selected costing items
- Overhead calculation for base planning objects
In Release 3.0, you can enter a
costing sheet and an overhead key in the base object master
record. In this way, you determine under which conditions overhead surcharges
are to be calculated.
Change system parameters in customizing
The cost object category determines whether a cost object ID can be planned
using unit costing. In the cost object profile, you specify which
costing variant is proposed when accessing unit costing. For more
information, see the Implementation Guide for Product Cost Accounting:
The requirements class determines whether a sales document can be planned
using unit costing. The requirements class also determines which control
parameters are proposed for the calculation of overhead surcharges for the
sales document. For more information, see the Implementation Guide for Product
Cost Accounting:
