Set Up Valuation Using Material Cost Estimate
In Profitability Analysis (CO-PA), you can valuate documents by reading the cost of goods manufactured in the material cost estimates from Product Cost Controlling. You do this by defining costing keys.
Which costing key is used for a particular
document can depend on when the document is valuated in CO-PA (the "point of
valuation"), the record type, the product sold, the
material type of that product, or any other characteristic in
your operating concern.
In this activity, you make the necessary
Customizing settings for setting up valuation using material cost estimates in
your system:
1. When you
maintain costing keys, you determine which
- standard cost estimates the system should read
in
Product Cost Planning and which
- periodic allocation prices / actual cost
estimates the system should read in the
Material Ledger.
2. Once you
have done this, you can assign these costing keys to a product or material
type. Alternatively, you can use the flexible assignment function to assign
costing keys to any characteristics in your operating concern for
valuation.
3. You then
need to use value field assignment to determine for each operating concern and
at each point of valuation how the cost components in the cost component split
are to be assigned to the value fields in CO-PA. This must be done for each
relevant cost component split.
