 Simulating a Cost Estimate (Configuration Simulation)

Procedure

  1. Choose Start of the navigation path Logistics Next navigation step Central functions Next navigation step Var. configuration Next navigation step Environment Next navigation step Config. simulation End of the navigation path .

  2. The screen Configuration: Initial Screen appears.

  3. Enter the material and the application, and choose Start of the navigation path Goto Next navigation step Char. value assignment End of the navigation path .

  4. The screen Configuration: Characteristic Value Assignment appears.

  5. Choose Start of the navigation path Environment Next navigation step Costing End of the navigation path .

  6. The dialog box Variant Costing appears.

  7. Enter a costing variant and choose Enter .

  8. The dialog box Control Parameters appears.

  9. Enter the following data:

  • Costing dates

  • Transfer control

  1. Choose Enter .

Result

The screen Variant Costing: Costing Data for Material appears. The system shows you the costing results based on the costing variant you used.

The cost estimate for a variant is only simulated with this function. It is not saved.
