Define
Cost-Accounting-Relevant Default Values for Order Types and
Plants
Here you define default values for
manufacturing orders, for production orders without quantity structure (CO
production orders), and for product cost collectors for each plant and order
type.
You can make new entries here for production
orders without quantity structure and product cost collectors.
For production orders with quantity structure
and for process orders you make new entries in the processing step
Maintain Order-Type-Dependent Parameters in the
implementation guide of Product Cost Planning (PP)
or Product Cost Planning Process Industry (PP-PI).
You can either make the settings relevant for Cost Object Controlling for
manufacturing orders there or in this processing step.
You specify the following in the default values
for each order type and plant:
- Whether you want to collect the costs on a
manufacturing order or on a product cost collector.
If you want to
collect the costs on a product cost collector, use the functionality of
Product Cost by Period. If you collect the costs on a product cost collector,
then the manufacturing order is not a cost cost object. To make the necessary
settings for the product cost collector, go to Product Cost by
Period in Customizing.
You specify your
choice here in the default rule. The default rule determines whether
settlement is made cumulatively after the last delivery, or in each
period.
- Settlement of orders to stock
For orders whose
costs are settled to stock, settlement can take place either at the end of the
period (settlement by period) or after final delivery (full
settlement).
Full
settlement is used with lot-based Cost Object Controlling. Variance
calculation is performed after final delivery (status GLFT) or technical
completion (status TABG) of a manufacturing order. Before final delivery, the
order balance is shown as work in process. The default rule for manufacturing
orders that are settled cumulatively is PP1 (Production
Material Full Settlement). For all manufacturing orders whose order type
specifies default rule PP1, settlement type FUL (full) is specified in the
settlement rule.
As long as a
production order without quantity structure does not have the status TABG, the
balance of the order is shown as work in process.
Periodic
settlement is used with period-based Cost Object Controlling. Here
the work in process and variances are reported on the basis of the quantities
confirmed and delivered in the period. The default rule for manufacturing
orders that are settled by period is "PP2 / Production Order (Periodic
Settlement)".
You can use the
product cost collector as a cost object when analyzing costs with
order-related production or process manufacturing, as product cost collectors
always use periodic settlement. The default rule for product cost collectors
is STR (With Strategy for Tracing Factor Determination). For all manufacturing
orders assigned to a product cost collector, you must specify the default rule
PP2 (Periodic Settlement) in the order type. Use the default rule STR (With
Strategy for Tracing Factor Determination) for the product cost collector
itself. The settlement type PER (periodic) is specified in the settlement rule
for all product cost collectors.
If you specify the
default rule PP2 for production orders without quantity structure, then you
can not calculate work in process for these orders.
- Settlement with a cost object
hierarchy
Orders
(manufacturing orders and process orders) that are assigned to a
cost object hierarchy must be settled in each
period.
- Settlement in sales-order-related
production
Valuated
sales order stock:
Orders that are
assigned to a sales document item or WBS
element can use full settlement or periodic settlement if you are
using a valuated sales order stock.
Nonvaluated
sales order stock:
For orders that are
assigned to a sales order item or WBS element, the settlement type must be
GES (full settlement) if you are using a
nonvaluated sales order stock. The costs for these orders are
included in
results analysis of the sales order item or WBS
element.
For more information
on orders with nonvaluated sales order stock, see Product Cost by
Sales Order in the R/3 library.
The order is only
included in the calculation of
work in process when a results analysis key has been entered in
it.
- Full settlement valuates the work in process
with the actual costs.
- Periodic settlement valuates the work in
process with the target costs.
costing.
The valuation
variant selected through the costing variant is displayed for informational
purposes.
For manufacturing
orders, the
costing sheet for overhead calculation in period-end closing and
preliminary costing is proposed through the valuation variant that is assigned
to the costing variant for preliminary cost estimates.
The costing variants
Plan (for preliminary costing) and Actual (for the calculation of overhead in
period-end closing) for the product cost collectors are taken over from the
default values of the order type.
The costing sheet in
the master data of the product cost collector is determined through the
default value for the costing variant Plan belonging to the order
type:
A valuation variant
has been specified in this cost variant.
The default value
for the costing sheet is calculated from this valuation variant and
transferred into the master data of the product cost collector. The costing
sheet transferred into the product cost collector is used for the calculation
of overhead in preliminary costing and for the calculation of actual
overhead.
In case no default
values exist for the costing variant Plan, the default values of the costing
variant Actual are used to calculate the costing sheet. The costing sheet is
transferred into the master data of the product cost collector and can be
changed there.
For production
orders without quantity structure, you enter a costing variant for the
preliminary cost estimate in a planning profile (instead of seperately for
each order type/plant) that you directly link to the order type.
- Costing variant (simultaneous
costing)
The costing variant
(simultaneous costing) determines which costing type and which valuation
variant are used for valuation.
The valuation
variant selected through the costing variant is displayed for informational
purposes. For manufacturing orders and product cost collectors, the valuation
variant of the simultaneous cost estimate determines what activity price is
used to valuate the activity types and business processes posted to the
order.
For product cost
collectors, the costing sheet for overhead calculation in period-end closing
is determined through the valuation variant of simultaneous costing and
entered as a default value in the master data of the product cost
collector.
For production
orders without quantity structure, you cannot enter a costing variant for
simultaneous costing. Activity types and business processes are valuated on
the basis of the plan price of the period.
- When preliminary costing of the manufacturing
order takes place
The following
applies to the planned costs of the manufacturing order:
- You can change the planned costs when you
create the manufacturing order
- You can change the planned costs when
releasing the order
- You can have the system calculate the planned
costs at any time
You can do this
within a manufacturing order or perform preliminary costing for multiple
manufacturing orders using the report
PPSFCACT.
For performance
reasons, it might be best to trigger preliminary costing manually (usually
with the report).
You can also set the following
indicators:
Requirements
If you want to define your own costing
variants, valuation variants and results analysis keys, you must process the
following:
"Check costing variants for production orders" or
"Check costing variants for CO production orders" or
"Check costing variants for product cost collectors"
"Check valuation variants for production orders" or
"Check valuation variants for CO production orders" or
"Check valuation variants for product cost collectors"

Recommendation
If you want to use periodic settlement in
make-to-stock production or sales-order-related production with a valuated
sales order stock on the one hand, and full settlement in sales-order-related
production with a nonvaluated sales order stock on the other, you must define
two order types with different default rules.
Actions
Enter the default values you
require.
Further
Notes
If you want to use manufacturing orders or
product cost collectors, you must also check whether the Order
management indicator is selected for each fiscal year in the
controlling area.
"Define controlling area"
The costing variant for preliminary costing of
production orders without a quantity structure is specified in the planning
profile. There is no costing variant for simultaneous costing.
"Define planning profiles for production orders(C0)"
If you use alternative sequences in the
routing, then the selection of the sequences can be included in the production
order and thus also in the preliminary cost estimate. To do this you must
carry out the following steps in Production Planning in the
order-type-dependent parameters:
- Set the indicator Alternative
sequences
- Choose sequence exchange "1" (Always automatic
selection by lot size of alternative sequence)
