Use

If you use production campaigns in Logistics, you can use the Product Cost Controlling Information System to analyze the costs of those production campaigns. There are special reports available for this in Product Cost by Order .

Features

Planned Costs of Production Campaigns
Itemization

With the display of the itemization of a production campaign, the itemization is dynamically structured in the same way as the preliminary cost estimate of a manufacturing order. This itemization is not saved by the system. It cannot be called up in the information system of Product Cost by Order or Product Cost by Period . To display the itemization for the preliminary costing of a campaign, choose   Logistics   Production - Process   Production Campaign   Environment   Cost Itemization   . The itemization is built dynamically by the system.

The planned costs of a production campaign are calculated by using the summarization of the preliminary costings of all the manufacturing orders within the campaign. This produces a special kind of itemization. All of the orders assigned to the campaign are listed in the lines of the itemization. Planned orders are also considered here. In the costing, they are dynamically converted by the system to production orders. Information concerning, for example, materials and order quantities is displayed for the orders. Costing items can be displayed by expanding a line.

How the itemization is displayed can be changed to suit your requirements. There are various functions available for this. You can, for example, use a filter so that only costs for orders with material reference or costs from orders without material reference are displayed.

Caution Caution

If you have assigned a business process group to a production campaign, then when you display the costs for this campaign, those process costs that result from business processes that are assigned to this business process group are not displayed. This ensures that any costs allocated from campaign service orders to production orders using business processes within the campaign are not shown twice.

If a campaign is assigned to a business process group, an analysis of the preliminary cost estimate of an individual order of the campaign can lead to other results than the analysis for the campaign, because all costs are displayed on the level of the order.

If you allocate costs within the campaign using business processes and do not assign any business process groups to your production campaign, no process costs are eliminated in the preliminary costing of the production campaign. Consequently, debits to campaign service orders as well as debits to production orders that result from allocation of campaign service orders are displayed in the itemization. You should be aware of this when interpreting the report data. To avoid a double statement of costs, you can set a filter to leave out the allocation cost elements of the business process that is used to allocate the campaign service order costs within the campaign.

End of the caution.
Cost Object Controlling
Cost element reports for production campaigns

You can display all the costs of a production campaign using the Product Cost Controlling Information System.

You can access the reports for the production campaigns as follows:

  •   Product Cost by Order   Information System   Reports for Product Cost by Order   Detailed Reports   .

  •   Production - Process   Production Campaign   Environment   CO-Reporting  

    You likewise see the Information System of Product Cost by Order .

Using the production campaign reports, you can display the planned costs, target costs, actual costs, work in process, and variances summarized for all orders assigned to the campaign. The values are displayed by their original cost elements and can be further subdivided according to origin groups and origins.

To monitor the costs of a single order in a production campaign, you can use the detailed reports for orders.

Caution Caution

If you have assigned a business process group to a production campaign, then when you display the costs for this campaign, those process costs that result from business processes that are assigned to this business process group are not displayed. This ensures that any costs allocated from campaign service orders to production orders using business processes within the campaign are not shown twice.

If a campaign is assigned to a business process group, an analysis of the preliminary cost estimate of an individual order of the campaign can lead to other results than the analysis for the campaign, because all costs are displayed on the level of the order.

If you allocate costs within a production campaign using business processes and do not assign any business process groups to your production campaign, no process costs are eliminated in the cost element reports of the campaign. Consequently, debits to campaign service orders as well as debits to production orders that result from allocation of campaign service orders are displayed in the production campaign report. You should be aware of this when interpreting the report data.

End of the caution.
Hierarchy Graphic

You can use this report to display orders assigned to a production campaign. The report contains a hierarchical display of the campaign and the orders associated with it. In addition, you can display the planned costs, target costs, actual costs, as well as planned and actual quantities for a single order or cumulated for the entire campaign. It is possible to jump to detailed reports for orders in order to obtain a more detailed analysis.

In the header of the hierarchy graphic, you can display such information as the name of the campaign as well as the beginning and end dates.

You access the hierarchy graphic from the selection screen of a detailed report by entering the campaign number and then choosing Overview .
