Features
The profit center valuation view shows you the cost of goods manufactured from the profit center viewpoint and valuation according to transfer price conditions.
Use
Cost of Goods Manufactured in Profit Center Valuation
To show the cost of goods manufactured according to profit center valuation in CO-PA, the system needs to be able to access material cost estimates according to the valuation view required (legal or profit center valuation).
You need to set this up in CO-PA Customizing using the function Assign Costing Key to Any Characteristics. There, you need to define an assignment rule with the global field ITEM_TYPE ("Valuation view CO-PA") as a source field.
The costing variant determines which cost estimate in CO-PC is read for the specified valuation view. Consequently, you need to define costing keys that read cost estimates for legal valuation (as in earlier releases) as well as costing keys that read cost estimates for profit center valuation.
The following costing variants were defined in Product Cost Controlling:
In Profitability Analysis, you want the system read separate cost estimates for each material type and using costing variants LEG1 and TPR1.
You therefore define the following costing keys in Profitability Analysis:
Then you assign these costing keys to the following field combinations:

This assignment has the effect that the system uses costing type TPR1 to find the cost estimate for profit center valuation and costing type LEG1 for legal valuation (valuation view "blank").
Valuation Using Transfer Price Conditions
You can use transfer price conditions in SD pricing to valuate the revenue and the cost of goods sold in billing, and update these values in the value fields of your operating concern.
In CO-PA planning, you can use these conditions for valuation by including a pricing procedure from SD (application "V") in your valuation strategy.
It is also possible to valuate using transfer prices by accessing pricing procedures in Profit Center Accounting. Note that Profit Center Accounting uses "transfer price variants". These variants mean that the system reads a series of pricing procedures until one condition value - the transfer price - is found. To transfer this value to a value field in CO-PA, you need to define a separate step in your valuation strategy that uses a transfer price variant and transfers the values found to a CO-PA value field.

In step 03, the system accesses transfer price variant TP. The value found for this step is entered in value field VVTRP.
