Define Origin
Groups
Here you can create origin groups. These groups
serve to further subdivide the material costs. For controlling purposes,
materials assigned to the same cost element by automatic account determination
can be seperated into origin groups. You enter the origin group in the costing
view of the material master record.
Account determination assigns each material to a G/L account and
thus also to a
primary cost element.
- If an origin group is entered in the costing
view of the material master record, the combination of origin group and cost
element is updated in the Controlling module.
- If the Material
origin indicator in the costing view of the material master
record is specified in addition to the origin group, the costs are updated
under the combination of material number and cost element in the Controlling
component.
You can do the following for each cost element
and origin group:
If you have
maintained origin groups for the raw materials, you can define a calculation
base in the
costing sheet for each group of raw materials. This enables you
to define different overhead surcharges for each group of raw
materials.
If you have
maintained origin groups for the raw materials, you can create separate cost
components for important materials or groups of materials.
Variances are
calculated for each cost element. If you have maintained origin groups for the
materials used, the variances (such as input price variances and input
quantity variances) will be calculated not only for the relevant material cost
element but also for each origin group assigned to that cost
element.
For each cost
element, you can specify whether the work in process for those costs can be
capitalized in the balance sheet. If you have maintained origin groups for the
materials used, you can specify this separately for each origin
group.
