For each line ID, you specify the results analysis cost element under which the work in process and (under some circumstances) the reserves for unrealized costs are updated, and assign each line ID to a category.

The line IDs put the costs incurred for an order into groups such as the following:

  • Direct material costs
  • Production costs
  • Indirect costs

These groups should be based on the structure of the cost of goods manufactured in the cost component structure (see Maintain Cost Component Structure and Define Cost Components).

The category indicates whether the cost elements under which the different postings are made are debits or credits for WIP calculation.

Work in Process at Actual Costs

The debits and credits of an order are grouped as follows:

  • You must assign all debits, such as for material withdrawals, internal activites, external activities, and overhead to line IDs of category K (costs).

    The system creates work in process for each debit posting that is updated under one of these cost elements. These values are updated under the results analysis cost elements (cost element category 31) that you specify under Define update.

  • You must assign all credits, such as for material issues and order settlement to line IDs of category A (settled costs). For each credit posting that is updated under one of these cost elements, the system reduces the work in process.

Work in Process at Target Costs

This category indicates whether the cost elements under which the costs are written in the cost estimate on which target cost calculation are based are relevant to WIP calculation. (See also: Define Valuation Variant for WIP and Scrap (Target Costs).

  • Create line IDs of category K (costs) for costs relevant to valuation (such as, direct material costs).
  • Create line IDs of category N (do not take into account) for costs for which no work in process is to be created (such as production overhead). If you do not create line IDs for these costs, the system issues an error message.

The apportioned values are updated to the order under the cost elements that you specify here. For the specified cost elements you may have to do the following:

  • Define reports that show the work in process and possibly the reserves according to you requirements
  • Define posting rules that assign the work in process and reserves to G/L accounts so that these values can be passed on to Financial Accounting

Transfer Prices

In the Product Cost by Order component, if you are using multiple valuation views for the calculation of work in process at actual costs, the entries for the referenced operational results analysis version are transferred to the referencing results analysis version of the multiple valuation views when you save your entries.

Requirements

Standard settings

If you use a results analysis version that is in the standard system, you only have to enter the results analysis cost elements for the data to be calculated.

Actions

  1. Enter the following:
    • Controlling area
    • Results analysis version
    • Results analysis key
      • If you defined, in the results analysis version, that the update is to be carried out without reference to the results analysis key, the entry is blank.
  2. Enter the following data for each line ID:
    • The category (K, A, or N)
    • The relevant results analysis cost elements
