Costing variants contain control parameters for costing.
The costing variant forms the link between the application and Customizing, since all cost estimates are created and saved with reference to a costing variant.
The costing variant determines how costing is carried out. Among other things, it controls how the quantity structure and the value strucutre are created.
A costing variant includes the following:
- Costing type
- Valuation variant
- Quantity structure control
- Number range assignment
- Organizational level
- Various parameters for unit costing and product costing
Note
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.
The reason for this is that the key structure for the costing results in the database uses the costing type and the valuation variant, and not the costing variant.
Standard settings
The standard system contains a number of predefined costing variants.
SAP recommendation
You should assign a different valuation variant to each costing variant with which you intend to save cost estimates.
This one-to-one assignment enables you to change the valuation strategies later as required.
Actions
- Enter an alphanumerical key and and name for the costing variant.
- In the detail screen, assign a costing type and a valuation variant to the costing variant.
If you want to use your own parameters, carry out the steps Define costing types and Define valuation variants.
- If the costing variant will be used for base object costing, specify whether cost elements must be assigned to the costing items. For all other reference objects in unit costing, the costs must be totaled according to cost elements.
- If the costing variant will be used for product costing, specify
- whether the costing results should be saved
- whether the system should use a unit cost estimate for a specific single-level BOM
- whether cost components can be entered manually
- how error messages are issued
- how the system is to search for valid alternatives to create a quantity structure
