Use

Using a standard cost estimate, you can calculate the planned costs for the production lot of a material. To do this, you create a production lot cost estimate.

Integration

The planning of production lots is represented in the SAP system in the form of project make-to-order production. The system generates a WBS element for the production lot. This WBS element is used as a reference for maintaining the master data and for planning, production and cost calculation.

Prerequisites

You have checked the costing variant for the production lot cost estimate and its costing type in Customizing for Product Cost Planning.

Features

A production lot is a specific amount of a material that is planned and produced with reference to a number. This number is a WBS element that is automatically generated by the system when you create the production lot number. Using the production lot number, you can calculate the planned costs for a specific quantity of the material. The planned costs calculated form the basis for the valuation of the stock.

You can access this function by choosing  Accounting Controlling Product Cost Planning Material Costing Material Lot Cost Estimate.
