Changes in Unit Costing for Release 3.0

Description

As of Release 3.0, you can create a unit costing for the following objects:

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.
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.
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
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.
