Use
The quantity structure is made up of the data for material consumption and for the activities and business processes used to produce a material. The quantity structure specifies the following:
Integration
The cost estimate with quantity structure accesses data in the Production Planning (PP and PP-PI), Materials Management (MM), and Controlling (CO) components of the SAP System. The following table provides an overview of the origin of the data used by costing with quantity structure:

When you create a cost estimate with quantity structure, the system creates the quantity structure automatically. For more information about this, see
Quantity Structure Determination.The quantity structure is valuated by the system. For more information, see
Valuating the Quantity Structure.You can use existing costing data for both creating and valuating the quantity structure. For more information, see
Use of Existing Costing Data.For information about how the system calculates overhead costs, see
Overhead.For information about the dates used by the system to create and valuate the quantity structure, see
Date Control.For more information about the master data accessed by costing, see
Master Data for Costing.
