In this step you define how you want the target costs to be calculated.

Target cost versions are used in the variance calculation in the following ways:

• To control which variance (total variance, production variances or planning variance) is calculated

• To valuate unplanned scrap (scrap variance) Unplanned scrap is valuated in the period-end closing activities when the variances are calculated. You can specify in a valuation variant for WIP and scrap which cost estimate you want to use to calculate the target costs for the valuation of unplanned scrap. You assign the valuation variant to target cost version 0 if you want to include it in the valuation of scrap.

You can calculate equivalences on the basis of SAP standard target cost versions 0, 1 and 3.

The standard system supplies the following target cost versions:

• Target cost version 0 (total variance)

The amount of the total variance generates a posting in Financial Accounting during settlement.

For this version, select actual costs as the control costs, and standard cost estimate as the target costs.

• Target cost version 1 (production variance)

For this version you choose actual costs as the control costs, and planned costs as the target costs.

• Target cost version 2 (planning variance)

With target cost version 2, the costs from the preliminary order cost estimate are interpreted as control costs.

For this version, select planned costs as the control costs and current cost estimate as the target costs.

You cannot calculate planning variances for the product cost collector.

• Target cost version 3 (production variance of the period)

You compare the planned costs of the period calculated on the basis of an alternative material cost estimate (such as a modified standard cost estimate) with the actual costs of the period on the basis of the yield delivered to stock in the period.

The base quantity for variance calculation is the yield.

For this version, you choose the actual costs as the control costs and the alternative material cost estimate as the target costs. To determine the alternative material cost estimate, enter a costing variant and choose a costing version.

The target cost version specifies which data is to be compared. The target cost version also specifies which variance variant is used and therefore which variance catagories are calculated. You can define a different target cost version for each controlling area.

You must already have processed the following steps:

• Implementation Guide for Controlling General Maintain versions

Here you enter a version in the General version maintenance and in the Settings in the controlling area. Only the versions created there can be defined in this step as a target cost version.

• Create controlling area

• If you want to use the target cost version for the variance calculation, you should perform the following steps:

• Define Variance Keys

• Define Default Variance Keys for Plants

• Check Variance Variant

The standard system contains predefined target cost versions that you can copy into your own controlling area without having to make any changes.

• Target cost version 0

Target cost version 0 is the only target cost version that is relevant to settlement. That is, only the variances calculated with target cost version 0 can be settled to Profitability Analysis (CO-PA).

Only in target cost version 0 can you specify a valuation variant for the valuation of scrap and work in process.

• Target cost version 1

• Target cost version 2

• Target cost version 3
