Reports for Cost Controlling of Production Campaigns
Use
If you use production campaigns in Logistics, you can use the Product Cost Controlling Information System to analyze the costs of those production campaigns. There are special reports available for this in Product Cost by Order.

Planned Costs of Production Campaigns
Itemization
With the display of the itemization of a production campaign, the itemization is dynamically structured in the same way as the preliminary cost estimate of a manufacturing order. This itemization is not saved by the system. It cannot be called up in the information system of Product Cost by Order or Product Cost by Period. If you want to display the itemization for the preliminary costing of a campaign, choose Logistics ® Production Process ® Production Campaign ® Environment ® Cost Itemization. The itemization is then built dynamically by the system.
The planned costs of a production campaign are calculated by using the summarization of the preliminary costings of all the manufacturing orders within the campaign. This produces a special kind of itemization. All of the orders assigned to the campaign are listed out in the lines of the itemization. Planned orders are also considered here. In the costing, they are dynamically converted by the system to production orders. Information, such as information concerning materials and order quantities is displayed for the orders. Costing items can be displayed by expanding a line.
How the itemization is displayed can be changed to suit your needs. There are various functions available for this. You can, for example, use a filter so that only costs for orders with material reference or costs from orders without material reference are displayed.
If you have assigned a business process group to a campaign process, process costs that result from business processes and are assigned to this business process group are eliminated in the cost display for the production campaign. This guarantees that costs allocated from campaign service orders to production orders by means of business processes within the campaign are not shown twice.
If a campaign is assigned to a business process group, an analysis of the preliminary cost estimate of an individual order of the campaign can lead to other results than the analysis for the campaign, because all costs are displayed on the level of the order.
In order to avoid eliminating process costs in the preliminary costing of the production campaign, allocate costs within the campaign using business processes and do not assign any business process groups to your production campaign. If you do this, debits to campaign service orders as well as debits to production orders that result from allocation of campaign service orders will be displayed in the itemization. Please take this into account when interpreting the report data. To avoid a double statement of costs, you can set a filter to leave out the allocation cost elements of the business process that is used to allocate the campaign service order costs within the campaign.

Cost element reports for production campaigns
You can display all the costs of a production campaign using the Product Cost Controlling Information System.
You can access reporting for production campaigns using:
You can find these reports in the Information System of Product Cost by Order in the report category Detailed Reports.
You see the Information System of Product Cost by Order.
With the production campaign reports, you can display the planned costs, target costs, actual costs, work in process, and variances summarized for all orders assigned to the campaign
. The values are displayed by their original cost elements and can be further subdivided according to origin groups and origins.To monitor the costs of a single order in a production campaign, you can use the detailed reports for orders.
If you have assigned a business process group to a campaign process, process costs that result from business processes and are assigned to this business process group are eliminated in the cost display for the production campaign. This guarantees that costs allocated from campaign service orders to production orders by means of business processes within the campaign are not shown twice.
If a campaign is assigned to a business process group, an analysis of the preliminary cost estimate of an individual order of the campaign can lead to other results than the analysis for the campaign, because all costs are displayed on the level of the order.
In order to avoid eliminating process costs in the cost element reports for the production campaign, allocate costs within the campaign using business processes and do not assign any business process groups to your production campaign. If you do this, debits to campaign service orders as well as debits to production orders that result from allocation of campaign service orders will be displayed in a report for the production campaign. Take this into account when interpreting the report data.
Hierarchy Graphic
You can use this report to display orders assigned to a production campaign. The report contains a hierarchical display of the campaign and the orders associated with it. In addition, you can display the planned costs, target costs, actual costs, as well as planned and actual quantities for a single order or cumulated for the entire campaign. It is possible to jump to detailed reports for orders in order to obtain a more detailed analysis.
In the header of the hierarchy graphic, you can display such information as the name of the campaign as well as the beginning and end dates.
You access the hierarchy graphic from the selection screen of a detailed report by entering the campaign number and then choosing
Overview.The data is displayed with the ABAP List Viewer.
