Here you create a valuation variant that contains the parameters for valuation of the costing items in base object cost estimates or ad-hoc cost estimates.

Valuation Strategies

  • Material components

    Here you define the sequence in which you want the system to search for prices in the material master record or purchasing data to valuate the materials.

  • Activity Types / Processes

    Here you define the sequence in which you want the system to search for prices in activity type planning or actual activity price calculation in Cost Center Accounting or Activity-Based Costing to valuate the utilized internal activites and business processes.

    You also specify what plan/actual version is used.

  • External processing

    Here you specify the sequence in which you want the system to search for prices from purchasing to valuate the external activities. The strategy Price in the operation of routing is not relevant for base object costing.

  • Subcontracting

    Here you specify the sequence in which you want the system to search for prices in the purchasing info record. Purchasing uses quota arrangements to calculate a mixed price for materials that are manufactured by external suppliers with parts supplied by the customer. You can specify whether the quota of the individual suppliers entered in the source list for the material to be processed should be determined through the planned quota arrangement or the actual quota arrangement.

Strategy sequences

You define the individual valuation methods of the valuation variant as strategy sequences. For example, you could define a strategy sequence for the valuation of material items that reads the fields of the material master record in the following order:

  1. Planned price 1
  2. Standard price
  3. Moving price

The first price that is not zero is used to valuate the material component.

To be able to use the valuation variant in costing, you must assign the valuation variant to a costing variant.

Overhead

In contrast to material cost estimates and ad hoc cost estimates, in base object cost estimates overhead is calculated using the entry in the master data of the base planning object record, rather than the costing sheet specified in the valuation variant.

Price factors

Price factors are only relevant for inventory costing.

Standard Settings

  • The standard system contains a number of predefined price strategies.
    • For material valuation, you can define a maximum of five (5) strategies per valuation variant.
    • For activity types/processes, external processing and subcontracting, you can define a maximum of three (3) strategies per valuation variant.
  • You can modify the valuation variants supplied in the standard system to meet your requirements by changing the standard strategy sequences.

Actions

  1. Enter an alphanumeric key and a name for the new valuation variant.
  2. Create the valuation strategies.
  3. Save your entries.
  4. Assign the valuation variant to a costing variant.

Note

If you want to use different valuation strategies or different overhead rates in plants that belong to the same company code, you can define plant-specific valuation variants by assigning a valuation variant to a plant. Choose the push button Valuation variant/plant. If you don't do this, the valuation variants apply to all your plants.
