Use

The valuation in the profitability analysis is used for the enhancement of a CO-PA document with the belonging (planning-) cost information. After the creation of a CO-PA document within an incoming sales order or a billing the system automatically supplies the corresponding cost fields with values.

Features

In the profitability analysis you can determine the costs of sales of a CO-PA document with help of the product costing or on basis of defined conditions.

Valuation on Basis of Product Costing

The AFS System and the R/3 Standard System support the valuation with the product costing in the same way. Prerequisite for the valuation on basis of product costing is that a released costing exists for the respective material in the current period. If there exists a released costing you can separately transfer the cost components of the costing (for example material costs, production costs) to different fields of the CO-PA document (multiplied with the order quantity).

There exists a special feature with split valuated/costed products:

If you split valuate your products (costing at valuation type level, see Product Costing with Split Valuation) , you must define the characteristic valuation type (reference table VBAP) for your operating concern (see AFS Characteristics in the Profitability Analysis). The system needs the respective valuation type in the CO-PA document to find the belonging costing at valuation type level.

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text

Valuation with the Product Costing

If the characteristic valuation type is not filled, the system uses the costing at material level for the valuation of the respective CO-PA document.

Valuation on Basis of Conditions

For the valuation with the product costing, you can also use the condition technique for the valuation of CO-PA documents. Thus the valuation with the Standard price from the material master of the sold product is possible. The disadvantage of the valuation with Standard price, instead of valuation with product costing is that you can not transfer a cost component split to the profitability analysis. This is often not enough for in-house produced materials.

The valuation with the condition technique is completely supported by the AFS System.
