Ignore prod
cost est w/o qty structure
Definition
Determines whether a cost estimate with quantity structure can access data that was
produced by a cost estimate without quantity structure .
Use
You set this indicator if you do
not want to work with a cost estimate without quantity
structure.
- If this indicator is set, the system will
ignore data produced by a cost estimate without quantity structure when
selecting the BOM as well as when costing. Instead, the system will attempt to
calculate the costs of manufacturing the material using an existing BOM or an
existing operation.
In the costing view
of the material master record, you can use the With quantity
structure indicator to specify that the material should be
costed either with or without a quantity structure. If the Ignore
cost estimate w/o qty structure indicator in the costing variant
is set, the system will ignore the entry in the material master
record.
- If neither this
indicator is set nor the With quantity
structure indicator in the costing view of the material master
record, the system will search for valid cost estimates without quantity
structure to valuate the material components listed in the quantity structure
of the cost estimate.
In sales order costing, this switch is
effective only in connection with transfer control according to the principle
described above.
