 Creating and Marking an Order BOM Cost Estimate

Prerequisites

Define the costing variant in Customizing for Product Cost Controlling. You can specify in the costing variant whether you want the itemization to be saved.

Procedure

  1. Choose Start of the navigation path Accounting Next navigation step Controlling Next navigation step Product Cost Controlling Next navigation step Cost Object Controlling Next navigation step Product Cost by Sales Order Next navigation step Costing Next navigation step Order BOM Next navigation step Create End of the navigation path.

  2. The screen Create Cost Estimate for Order BOM appears.

  3. Enter the following data:

    • Number of the SD document and the item

    • Also enter the costing variant, material, plant, and costing lot size (if applicable)

    Note Note

    The costing variant, material, plant, and costing lot size can also be:

    • Entered manually

    • Transferred from the sales order item This data is transferred from the sales order item if the data has been entered in the sales order item and you do not enter any data manually here.

    End of the note.
  4. Choose Enter.

    The system transfers the control parameters (costing dates and transfer control) from the costing variant, and costs the order BOM.

Result

The system always updates a cost component split for the order BOM cost estimate. When you save the cost estimate, you can choose whether you also want to save the itemization.

You can display the following on an order BOM cost estimate:

  • A list of the costed materials

  • A list of the costing levels

The costing level controls the sequence in which the materials are costed. The costing level is issued internally by the system and is inverse to the low-level code. The costing level enables cost rollup over more than one manufacturing level.

  • Another cost component view

If you want to calculate the standard price for the sales order material on the basis of the order BOM cost estimate, mark the order BOM cost estimate. Do this by choosing Start of the navigation path Extras Next navigation step Mark End of the navigation path. The system assigns the status VO (marked) to the cost estimate.

To view the cost estimate at a later time, access the Product Cost by Sales Order menu and choose Start of the navigation path Master Data/Planning Next navigation step Cost Estimate for Order BOM Next navigation step Display End of the navigation path and enter the required data. Then choose Enter.
