External activities appear in the itemization under category F.

In product costing, items processed externally are determined from the routing. The control key in the routing specifies whether an operation can be processed externally. You can calculate the costs for externally-processed operations using the following entries:

• The price in the operation of the routing
• The price in the purchasing info record (quotation) or in the purchase order

In unit costing, you enter items of category F manually. You then have to enter a purchasing info record in the Resource field.
