Costing for Sales Orders 

Use

In the production scenario of the make-to-order, it is possible to use the sales order items as controlling objects of the cost object controlling. The system collects all actual costs that occur during the processing of a sales order on the respective sales order item.

The actual costs and target costs are used for a target/actual comparison. You can also use the target costs with help of a corresponding condition category in the pricing of the sales order item.

Concerning the results analysis of the sales order item, the target costs are important.

Features

You can determine the actual costs of a sales order item with help of product costing or an unit costing for the sales order item (sales order/item overview: Extras).

The product costing as well as the order-independent standard cost estimate are carried out on basis of the quantity structure (BOM, routing) of the product to be costed. The system uses the quantity of the order item as costing lot size.

When calling the costing function in the sales order, the system creates a dialog box where the user can enter the stock keeping unit (grid value/ category), on which the costing of the respective sales order item should be based. The quantity structure and thus the planned costs of this SKU are now valid for the entire order item quantity (all schedule lines).

The separate costing of different stock keeping units ((grid values/ categories) within an order item is currently not possible.

With the unit costing you can manually create the quantity structure of a product (for products without BOM/routing).

In the scenario, make-to-order with order items with costs and revenues, the sales order costing is important for the determination of the planned costs for the sales order. Because of the entered restrictions the planned costs are not determined exactly for a SKU, but on basis of a defaulted stock keeping unit. The following functions are affected:

●      The monitoring of the actual costs via the target /actual comparison in the corresponding evaluation for the sales order item.

●      The valuation of the sales order stock with valuation strategy (without valuation strategy the system valuates the sales order stock with the Standard price).

●      The results analysis for the sales order item at planned costs basis (the results analysis is optional and is used for the periodic determination of delivered but not yet billed goods; is must not be carried out).
