Key Figures for Order Costs
Key Figures that are updated
The following key figures are updated for order costs:
Sum of planning costs for PM measures
This key figure will be updated when a PM order with a time reference is created and changed at the starting date of the posting period, in which the costs were created.
This key figure is updated with every cost-relevant transaction for a PM order (for example, completion confirmation, material withdrawal) for the beginning date of the posting period, in which the costs were created. For historical orders, the key figure is updated when creating and changing a historical order with a time reference to the starting date of the posting period which was determined for the reference date of the order.
Sum of the actual revenues of the PM measures
This key figure is updated with every revenue posting (for example billing document) for a PM order to the starting date of the posting period, in which the costs were created. For historical orders, the key figure is updated when creating and changing a historical order with a time reference to the starting date of the posting period which was determined for the reference date of the order.
This key figure is updated with every cost-relevant transaction for a PM order (for example, completion confirmation, material withdrawal) for the beginning date of the posting period, in which the costs were created.
For historical orders, the key figure is updated when creating and changing a historical order with a time reference to the starting date of the posting period which was determined for the reference date of the order.
The key figure update is important from a business point of view only when a completion confirmation is made.
This key figure is updated with every cost-relevant transaction for a PM order (for example, completion confirmation, material withdrawal) for the beginning date of the posting period, in which the costs were created.
For historical orders, the key figure is updated when creating and changing a historical order with a time reference to the starting date of the posting period which was determined for the reference date of the order.
The key figure update is important from a business point of view only when completion confirmation of an external activity (goods/invoice receipt), which was given based on wage hours, was made.
This key figure is updated for every cost-relevant operation for a maintenance order (for example, time confirmation, material withdrawal).
For historical orders, the key figure is updated when creating and changing a historical order with a time reference to the starting date of the posting period which was determined for the reference date of the order. The key figure update is important from a business point of view only when a material removal is made.
This key figure is updated with every cost-relevant transaction for a PM order (for example, completion confirmation, material withdrawal) for the beginning date of the posting period, in which the costs were created.
For historical orders, the key figure is updated when creating and changing a historical order with a time reference to the starting date of the posting period which was determined for the reference date of the order. The key figure update is important from a business point of view only goods/invoice receipt for purchased parts (non-stock components).
This key figure is updated with every cost-relevant transaction for a PM order (for example, completion confirmation, material withdrawal,...) for the beginning date of the posting period, in which the costs were created.
For historical orders, the key figure is updated when creating and changing a historical order with a time reference to the starting date of the posting period which was determined for the reference date of the order.
The key figure update is important from a business point of view only with completion confirmation of an external activity (goods/invoice receipt), which was given based on total service.
The key figure shows the sum of other actual costs for PM orders, which do not fall under internal personnel, company’s own material, external personnel, external material or services.
This key figure is updated with every cost-relevant transaction for a PM order (for example, completion confirmation, material withdrawal) for the beginning date of the posting period, in which the costs were created. The key figure update is important from a business point of view when there are possible surcharges.
For the key figures Sum of the actual costs for internal activities, external activities, the company’s own material, external material, actual costs for services and sum of the other actual costs from PM measures, please note the following:
The allocation of the actual costs from a cost-relevant transaction for a PM order (completion confirmation, material removal) is carried out in two steps. The costs are fundamentally shown in the CO under a cost type (for example, -400000- material usage, -615000- internal activities).
In the first step, allocation of the cost types to value categories are carried out in Customizing of the project system.

|
Value category |
Cost type (from-to) |
|
400 Warehouse issue |
400000-499999 |
|
600 Internal activity |
600000-615000 |
The value categories are allocated to the cost key figures of the PM order in Customizing under Plant Maintenance.

|
Key figure |
Value category |
|
|
Sum of actual costs for in-house material |
400 |
|
|
Sum of actual costs for in-house services |
600 |
|
With the setting from the second example, the actual costs from the completion confirmation for a PM order would enter the value category 600 and the key figure Sum of the actual costs for internal activities are updated. The actual costs from the material removal would be entered into the value category 400 and the key figure Sum of the actual costs for internal material is updated.
With a historical order the costs are manually created on the level of value categories. Even here, the cost key figures that are to be updated are determined via the above-described allocation to the value categories.
Key Figures that are determined for the runtime
When the analysis is run, the following key figures are calculated:
