Definition
The costing key determines which product cost
estimate is used to valuate value fields in Profitability Analysis
(CO-PA).
- By maintaining the access
parameters
- , Version, and Additive cost estimate you can specify a particular cost estimate
that should be used to valuate the document in CO-PA.
When you do so, you also need to enter a
or Period/year , or select the Period indicator.
You may not select the "Transfer sales order cost estimate" indicator.
- Transfer sales order cost estimate indicator, you tell the
system to read the sales order cost estimate for each specific sales order
item.
In this case, the fields "Costing variant", "Version", "Additive cost
estimate", "Costing date", "Period/year", and "Period indicator" must be left
blank, because the cost estimate to be read is already determined by the sales
order item.
- and Transfer in controlling area currency let you specify
whether the auxiliary cost component split should be transferred, or whether
the cost estimate should be transferred in the controlling area currency.
- You use the Plant used for reading cost estimate to determine which plant
should be used to read a valid cost estimate for a given material. For the
standard setting, it is not necessary to determine the plant at
costing key level . This is because it is usually sufficient to read
the material cost estimates using the plant found in the CO-PA line item.
- By setting the control parameter
- "exclusive access to costing" , the system performs, instead of a
parallel valuation using various costing keys, an
alternative valuation using a single costing key at a time.
