Transfer control: strategies for the transfer of costing data
Description
In Release 3.0, you can define strategy sequences in Customizing to define how product costing is to search for existing cost estimates so that existing costing data can be transferred to another cost estimate.
- Plant-related transfer
If specific materials in the individual levels
of the BOM already have cost estimates, these materials are not costed again
but the existing costing data is transferred to the new cost estimate.
- Cross-plant transfer
Product costing takes into account the following
special procurement types
- transfer from another plant
- withdrawal in another plant
- production in another plant
If you entered one of these special procurement
types in the costing view of the material master record (or in the MRP view if
the costing view is not maintained), the system looks for existing costing
data in the plant from which the material is taken according to the special
procurement type. It then transfers this data to the new cost estimate.
Change system parameters in customizing
You define a transfer control ID that contains strategy sequences for plant-related and cross-plant transfer. This transfer conrol ID is selected via the costing variant.
For more information, see the Implementation Guide.
Define transfer strategyChanges to the interface
If you set the "Can change default" indicator in the costing variant, the system displays a dialog box when product costing is called up where you can enter the transfer control ID manually.
