You can use costing variants to combine all the controlling parameters for costing.

The costing variant represents the link between the application and customizing because all costings must reference a costing variant as they are made and stored.

The costing variant controls how the costing is to be carried out. With it, you control:

• Whether the costing results are to be regarded as plan costs or actual costs

• Which prices are used to value the materials, internal activities and external activities

• How overhead surcharges are calculated

The following are part of the costing variant:

• costing type 08 for the project unit costing

• valuation variant

It is technically possible to have more the same costing type and valuation variant in more than one costing variant, but you should avoid this because it can lead to one variant overwriting the data for another.

The reason for this is the key format for costing results in the database. This key form is based on the costing type and valuation variant, no the costing variant.

The SAP standard system contains a number of predefined costing variants

When you use Easy Cost Planning, we recommend you use costing variant PS06, which we deliver as standard.

Assign a different valuation variant to each of the costing variants you want to use to store costings. If you do this, you will subsequently be able to change the valuation strategies as and when you want.

1. Enter an alpha-numeric key and an appropriate short text for the costing variant.
2. In the detail screen, assign a costing type and a valuation variant to the costing variant.

If you want to use your own paramters, you must carry out the steps Define costing types and Define valuation variants.

1. If you are using the costing variant for a model costing, you stipulate whether cost elements have to be assigned to the costing items. The costs for other reference objects in the unit costing must be totaled using cost elements.

You need the costing variant for:

• The costing (plan costs) and cost determination (actual costs) for networks and network activities.

Store two costing variants: one for plan costs and one for actual costs

• As default values for the application in the Project System implementation guide in the network parameters for the network type

• In the application, in the extras for the network header (if you did not define a costing variant in the network parameters
  In the network header data, choose Goto -> Network header -> Supplement.

• The unit costing for projects or WBS elements

You define the costing variant:

• As a default value for the application in the cost planning profile

• In the application, when you access the unit costing from structure- oriented cost planning
