Other Menu Functions

Goto
Text (Header)...	You can enter or display detailed information about the cost estimate.
History...	Shows the following information: Who created the cost estimate and when Who last changed the cost estimate and when Who closed the cost estimate and when
Technical info...	Contains technical information about the cost estimate, such as the costing type, costing version, costing sheet, template, and so on.
Exchange Rate Info...	Contains information about the exchange rate used in the cost estimate.

Functions
New Exchange Rate...	You can change the exchange rate for foreign currencies.
Change Lot Size...	You enter the lot size when you create a cost estimate. If you do not enter a quantity, the system automatically sets the lot size to 1. If you use this function, all the quantities in the list screen will be adapted to the new lot size. To indicate costing items as lot-size-independent, enter F in the field Lot-size indep. The quantities for these items will then not be affected if you change the lot size.
Raw Material Cost Estimate On/Off	You can activate raw material costing to include items such as delivery costs for materials. If you switch on raw material costing, items of type I (information from purchasing info records) are included. This applies only to material costing without quantity structure.
Close	You can close the cost estimate, to prevent further changes being made to it. The close is recorded in the history. If you process the cost estimate any further, the system will display a warning. You can still change the cost estimate, however.
Revaluate	You can revaluate all or selected costing items with current prices.
Determine Cost Element	With this function, you can assign the costing items of the category V to cost elements. You can also check whether the system was able to find a cost element for the other costing items. Every cost posting is automatically assigned to a cost element. For planning purposes, you can assign the individual costing items to cost elements. The costing variant determines whether the individual items have to be assigned to cost elements. You define costing variants in Customizing for Product Cost Planning.
Calculate Overhead	You can use this function to calculate overhead and process costs manually. The cost estimate inserts items of category G or X.
Explode Material Cost Estimate...	If the spreadsheet contains a material item with a cost estimate, you can explode the material cost estimate and see the items containing the material costs. (See also: Exploding Material Cost Estimates
Explode Base Planning Object...	You can replace all the base planning objects (item category B) in the cost estimate with the costing items (such as materials and internal activities) in this unit cost estimate. (See also: Exploding Base Planning Objects)
Copy Cost Estimate...	You can use a base object cost estimate as a reference.
Distribute	You can distribute the costs to the plan periods. This function is only active for the planning of primary cost elements in Cost Center Accounting. (See also: Distribution Keys)
