Valuation
You can have values calculated automatically in costing-based CO-PA. This procedure is called "valuation " and can be used for both planning data and actual data.
There are four different methods of valuation
in CO-PA:
Valuation
using material costing
You can use
material cost estimates from Product Cost Controlling (CO-PC) to determine the cost of goods manufactured in Profitability Analysis. The breakdown of these costs in CO-PC is usually more detailed than that required in CO-PA. Consequently, you can assign more than one cost component to the same value field in CO-PA.

Other than the
standard cost estimate, the periodic allocation prices / actual cost estimates
from Material Ledger can also be used for valuation. This is particularly
useful for period revaluation.
Valuation
using conditions and a costing sheet
This is useful when
you need certain data to evaluate a sale but do not yet know the actual
values. This makes it possible to calculate such things as sales commission,
discounts, cash discounts or freight costs. You calculate these values by
defining conditions, which are stored and processed in a costing sheet.
Conditions can be scaled and made dependent on certain characteristic
values.
To valuate actual
data, you need to define special conditions in CO-PA. For planning data, you
can also access conditions from Sales and Distribution (SD) directly.
Valuation by
means of a user-defined program exit
If your requirements
for valuation go beyond the techniques supported in the standard SAP System,
you can program your own valuation routines.
Valuation
with transfer prices
Valuation using
transfer prices is only possible for plan data.
