Short text

You can adjust parameters of the costing variant.

Use

The costing variant connects the application to Customizing, in that all cost estimates are created and saved with reference to a costing variant.

You use a costing variant to include all of the control parameters.

The costing variant for a material cost estimate contains the following control parameters:

• Costing type

• Valuation variant

• Date control

• Quantity structure control

(only relevant for cost estimates with quantity structure)

• Transfer control (optional)

• Reference variant (optional)

Note

Since these costing variants can be used for both the cost estimate with quantity structure and the cost estimate without quantity structure, you also need to make settings that are relevant only for the cost estimate with quantity structure, even if you only wish to perform a cost estimate without quantity structure.

In Quantity structure you determine the following:

• How the costing lot size is handled (see: Pass On Lot Size)

• Whether cost estimates without quantity structure are included (see: Ignore Prod Cost Est w/o Qty Structure)

• Whether transfer control can be changed when calling the cost estimate (see: Transfer Control Can Be Changed)

• Whether an active standard cost estimate can be transferred if the cost estimate for a material contains errors (see: Transfer Active Std Cost Est. If Mat. Costed w/ Errors)

In Additive Costs you determine the following:

• Whether you can transfer the cost components that were entered in the form of an additive cost estimate (see: Additive Costs)

• Whether the additive costs for materials with the special procurement types stock transfer or production are included in another plant (see: Include Additive Costs with Stock Transfers)

In Update you determine the following:

• Whether the costing results can be saved and what values are updated (see: Saving Allowed)
  
  

The cost component split is always updated. You must specify whether the following values are also updated:

• Itemization (see: Save Itemization)

• Log (see: Save Log)

• Whether the user can change the update parameters and the parameters for transfer control (see: Defaults Can Be Changed by User)

In Assignments you determine the following:

• Which cost component structure is used for the costing (see also: Define Cost Components)

• Which costing version is used (see also: Define Costing Version)

• Whether the cost component split is saved in controlling area currency in addition to the company code currency (see also: Activate Cost Component Split in Controlling Area Currency)

• Whether you can cost across company codes with this costing variant

In Miscellaneous you determine the following:

• Whether a log is created to collect the system messages (see: Error Management)

• Whether the Late Lock of Material Cost Estimates with a Quantity Structure is to be set (see: Late Locking of Material Cost Estimates with Quantity Structure)

If you want to work with message control, you have to carry out the following process steps:

• Assign messages

• Define flexible message types

• Define condition records for message control

The standard system contains a number of predefined costing variants. To check which parameters are linked to these costing variants, use the Check settings function or choose the Check costing variants function in the detail screen.

• PPC1 Standard Cost Estimate

A standard cost estimate calculates the standard costs for a semifinished or finished product. Costing type 01 specifies that the results of this cost estimate are written to the material master as the standard price, and thus can be used to valuate inventories.

Costing variant PPC1 specifies valuation variant 001, quantity structure determination PC01, and date control PC01. No transfer control takes place.

• PPC2 Modified Standard Cost Estimate

You create a modified standard cost estimate when the data for costing has changed within a planning period. Costing type 12 specifies that the results of this cost estimate are used only for informational purposes.

Costing variant PPC2 specifies valuation variant 009, quantity structure determination PC01, and date control PC05.

• PPC3 Current Cost Estimate

You create a current cost estimate when you want to make a decision based on the current price of the material. Costing type 13 specifies that the results of this cost estimate are used only for informational purposes. As an alternative, you can set the indicator Prices other than standard price in the costing type so that the results of this cost estimate can be written to the material master as a planned price.

Costing variant PPC3 specifies valuation variant 009, quantity structure determination PC01, and date control PC04.

• PREM Preliminary Costing of Cost Collectors

The preliminary cost estimate for the product cost collector is used to calculate preliminary costs on the basis of the quantity structure of a production process. Costing type 19 means that this cost estimate is only relevant for product cost collectors.

Costing variant PREM specifies valuation variant 001, transfer control PC02, and date control PC01. Quantity structure determination is not relevant, as quantity structure is determined through the production process.

There are no standard settings for the inventory cost estimate.

You should assign a different valuation variant to each costing variant with which you intend to save cost estimates.

Although it is technically possible to have two costing variants with the same costing type and valuation variant, this should be avoided to prevent data from being overwritten.

This is due to the structure of the key under which costing results are saved in the database. This key structure is based on the costing type and the valuation variant, and not the costing variant.

This one-to-one assignment enables you to change the valuation strategies later as required.

Decide whether the costing variants provided in the standard system meet your requirements.

To create a new costing variant, such as for an inventory cost estimate, proceed as follows:

1. Choose New Entries.
2. Enter an alphanumerical key and a name for the costing variant.
3. Assign the following parameters to the costing variant:

• Costing type

• Valuation variant

• Date control

• Quantity structure control (only relevant for cost estimates with quantity structure)

• Transfer control (optional)

• Reference variant (optional)

1. In Miscellaneous define the following:

• How system messages on the cost estimate should be issued

• Whether the Late Lock of Material Cost Estimates with a Quantity Structure is to be set (see: Late Locking of Material Cost Estimates with Quantity Structure)

1. In Additive Costs define whether additive costs can be entered and whether these should be included in stock transfer
2. In Quantity Structure define the following:

• Whether the lot size of the highest assembly is used for costing the material components below this assembly

• Whether the system accesses a cost estimate without quantity structure for a particular assembly

• Whether transfer control can be changed when you create a cost estimate

• Whether the standard cost estimate should be used for materials with errors

1. In Update define the following:

• Whether the costing results should be saved

• The default parameters for saving the cost estimate

• Whether these default values can be changed manually when saving the cost estimate

1. Check the following parameters in Assignments:

• Cost components or cost component structure

• Costing versions

• Cost component split in controlling area currency

• Cross-company-code costing

1. Save the costing variant.
