Costing with Reference to the Purchasing Info Record

Use

When procuring raw materials or trading goods, considerable delivery costs can result (such as freight and customs costs). These delivery costs can often be activated, but in product controlling they should be displayed separately.

The R/3 system therefore enables you to create a cost component split without quantity structure, by using the raw material costing.

In addition, the price information of the purchasing info record for the costing of subcontracted materials is also relevant (besides the component prices).

Features

In raw material costing you can refer to a purchasing info record of the respective material. With the conditions contained in the info record, you can create a cost component split with all cost components (including delivery costs).

You must set the valuation strategy L in the valuation variant used and enter a corresponding sub-strategy. With the sub-strategies A and B you can refer to the condition tables. To define the valuation variant, choose in Customizing Controlling ® Product Cost Controlling ® Product Cost Planning ® Material Cost Estimate with / without Quantity Structure ® Costing Variant: Components ® Define Valuation Variants.

Assign the used conditions to an origin group. The system uses this origin group to determine the cost component with which the related value should appear in the product costing.

When costing subcontracted materials, the prices of the purchasing info record represent the costs of the subcontractor’s service. You must add on the costs of the provided raw materials.

In the raw material costing and the costing of subcontracted materials you can include conditions that are defined at grid value level.
