Product Costing at Valuation Type Level
Features
The split valuation of AFS finished products takes place similarly to the valuation of AFS raw materials or trading goods using valuation types (see
Split Valuation of AFS Materials). For each valuation type of a material you can create and release a separate costing (see Definition of Valuation Types).When costing a valuation type, the system determines the quantity structure that should be used (bill of material, routing) based on the respective preference SKU. You should therefore combine the grid values/categories of a product that have the same grid-/category-dependent bills of material-/routing definitions into one valuation type.

A prerequisite for the costing at valuation type level is that the accounting views that belong to the valuation types are created in the material master. There is a mass processing available for this that automatically copies the accounting views at valuation type level from the accounting view at material level (see
Accounting Data of the Valuation Types).
You can generally define your own valuation type for each stock keeping unit of a product. Note that the number of valuation types is decisive for the performance of the costing run (see
If the number of valuation types (sum of all products) that should be processed in a costing run exceeds 10,000, you should contact your SAP consultant.
