Cost Elements – Comparison 
Definition
Report that compares two material cost estimates on the basis of the cost elements.
Use
You can compare two material cost estimates with each other on the basis of the cost elements by comparing the cost elements with each other. The system creates a cost element itemization dynamically from the itemization of the cost estimate. This cost element itemization is not saved.
The following conversions are made:
Conversion of the second cost estimate to the base unit of measure of the first cost estimate, assuming that the conversion factors have been entered in the material master of the product of the second cost estimate.
Conversion of the lot size referenced to the base unit of measure of the first material.
If you don’t specify a lot size, the system uses the lot size of the first cost estimate. The conversion process proportionalizes all cost elements.
Structure
