Define
Valuation Variants
You create a
valuation variant here, which contains the parameters for the
valuation of the costing items in base object costing.
Valuation
Strategies
Here you define the
sequence in which you want the system to search for prices in the material
master record or purchasing data to valuate the materials.
- Activity Types / Processes
Here you define the
sequence in which you want the system to search for prices in activity type
planning or actual activity price calculation in Cost Center Accounting or
Activity-Based Costing to valuate the utilized internal activites and business
processes.
You also specify
what plan/actual version is used.
Here you specify the
sequence in which you want the system to search for prices from purchasing to
valuate the external activities. The strategy Price in the
operation of routing is not relevant for base object
costing.
Here you specify the
sequence in which you want the system to search for prices in the purchasing
info record. Purchasing uses
quota arrangements to calculate a mixed price for materials that
are manufactured by external suppliers with parts supplied by the customer.
You can specify whether the quota of the individual suppliers entered in the
source list for the material to be processed should be
determined through the planned quota arrangement or the actual quota
arrangement.
Strategy sequences
You define the individual valuation methods of
the valuation variant as strategy sequences. For example, you could define a
strategy sequence for the valuation of material items that reads the fields of
the material master record in the following order:
1. Planned
price 1
2. Standard
price
3. Moving
price
The first price that is not zero is used to
valuate the material component.
To be able to use the valuation variant in
costing, you must assign the valuation variant to a costing
variant.
Overhead
In contrast to material costing, base object
costing overhead is calculated using the entry in the master data of the base
planning object record, rather than the costing sheet specified in the
valuation variant.
Price factors
Price factors are only relevant for inventory
costing.
Standard
Settings
- The standard system contains a number of
predefined price strategies.
- For material valuation you can define a
maximum of five strategies per valuation variant.
- For activity types/processes, external
processing and subcontracting, you can define a maximum of three strategies
per valuation variant.
- You can modify the valuation variants supplied
in the standard system to meet your requirements by changing the standard
strategy sequences.
Actions
1. Enter an
alphanumeric key and a name for the new valuation variant.
2. Create the
valuation strategies.
3. Save your
entries.
4. Assign the
valuation variant to a costing variant.
Note
If you want to use different valuation
strategies or different overhead rates in plants that belong to the same
company code, you can define plant-specific valuation variants by assigning a
valuation variant to a plant. Choose the push button Valuation
variant/plant. If you don't do this, the valuation variants
apply to all your plants.
