Goods Receipt Costing for Make to Order Production

Use

This function is part of Product Cost Controlling in Sales-Order-Related and Make-to-Stock Production with Reporting Points and runs automatically during inventory posting. The cost estimates are used to valuate the goods receipts and credit the product cost collectors. The sales order costing function is not used . It is replaced by costing at the time of the goods receipt.

Integration

You can check the goods receipt cost estimate under Start of the navigation path Cost Object Controlling Next navigation step Product Cost by Sales Order Cost Estimate Order BOM Cost Estimate Display. End of the navigation path

To archive the goods receipt cost estimate, use the same archiving object as in sales order costing.

Prerequisites

If you want to include activities in backflushes and costing , you must first establish a link in iPPE between the iPPE resource (or the mode) and Overhead Cost Controlling.

When you create the sales orders, use a requirements type which ensures that the cost estimate is created with a costing variant that has the following settings:

The transfer control settings specify access to cost estimates without reference to an order (such as standard cost estimates) for the material components. If you have specified no transfer , the prices for the material components are taken from the material master.

Note Note

In the Update tab, set the Save itemization option to Only save in case of error . This setting reduces the data volume when there is a large number of cost estimates.

End of the note.

If you are using multiple valuation/transfer prices, you must define and group a separate costing variant for each valuation view.

For more information, refer to Customizing for Start of the navigation path Cost Object Controlling under Product Cost by Sales Order Next navigation step Preliminary Costing and Order BOM Costing Product Costing for Sales Order Items / Order BOMs. End of the navigation path

In the requirements class used for the sales order, the Costing option must have the setting May not be costed ( B ) to prevent the sales order from being costed. For more information, refer to Customizing for Cost Object Controlling under Start of the navigation path Product Cost by Sales Order Next navigation step Control of Sales-Order-Related Production. End of the navigation path

Valid cost estimates should exist for the input components. Otherwise the prices in the material master are used.

Features

This costing function provides nearly the same functional scope as sales order costing. For example, the cost component split can be utilized in the Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) application component. The differences are as follows:

The cost estimate is not created until the time of the goods receipt.
The goods receipt is costed using the information in the confirmation documents, based on the components and activities used.
The input components are not costed; instead, the system uses the data (valuation and cost component split) from existing cost estimates or the prices in the material master or individual requirements stock segment of the input components.
To improve the performance of costing, the shared buffer for goods receipt costing is used.
The costing results cannot be used for pricing purposes in the Sales and Distribution (SD) application component.
It is not possible to manually modify a goods receipt cost estimate that has no errors.
