Define Overhead
Keys
In this IMG activity, you maintain overhead
keys. You can use overhead keys for individual order calculation or
material-related calculation of an overhead percentage rate.
Orders, WBS elements, networks,
cost-object identity numbers, base objects:
To determine an overhead percentage rate
through the overhead key, you must
- enter in the assigned costing sheet, overheads
that use the overhead key field.
Product costing, production orders,
process orders, product cost collectors:
To determine an overhead percentage rate using
the overhead key, you need to
- enter in the assigned costing sheet, overheads
that use the overhead key field.
- enter the overhead group in the material
master record for the material to be produced.
Example
If you want to assign specified
orders with a special overhead, proceed as follows:
1. Enter a
value in the "Overhead key" field in in the order master.
2. Assign a
costing sheet that contains overheads with the "Overhead key" field to the
relevant orders
3. Maintain
percentage rates in the overheads for the corresponding values that you
entered in the "Overhead key" fields for the order master.
