Here you create a valuation variant containing the parameters required for valuation of a cost estimate.

You also specify which costing sheet should be used to calculate overhead.

Valuation Strategies

  • Material valuation

    Here you define the sequence in which the system searches for prices from the accounting view or costing view of the material master record to valuate materials. You can also access prices from purchasing info records and condition types.

    For material cost estimates, you also specify whether additive costs can be added to the selected price.

    With configurable/configured material components and with procurement alternatives, the sequence defined here is ignored if the strategy "price from purchasing info record" was selected, in which case that strategy is always executed first. For more information, refer to the SAP Library in the component Product Cost Planning under Raw Material Costing or Mixed Costing.

  • Activity Types / Processes

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

    You also specify which plan/actual version is used.

  • Subcontracting

    Here you define the sequence in which the system searches for prices in the purchasing info record. In purchasing, quota arrangements are used to create a mixed price for materials that are manufactured with external vendors with parts provided by the customer. You can specify whether the quota of the individual vendors that are entered in the source list for the material to be processed should be determined through the planned quota arrangement or the actual quota arrangement.

  • External processing

    Here you define the sequence in which the system searches for prices in the purchasing info record or routing operation for valuation of the external activities.

Strategy Sequence

You define the individual valuation methods for the valuation variant as strategy sequences. For the valuation of the material components you define a strategy sequence that reads the fields of the material master record in a particular sequence such as:

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

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

Overhead costs

You can link the valuation variant for definition of overhead to a costing sheet. You can also enter a costing sheet for the allocation of overhead to raw materials, if you want to use specific overhead conditions for raw materials. If you want to differentiate overhead application according to material groups, you must have defined overhead groups and made the necessary settings for the costing sheet in the step Define costing sheet.

You can also specify whether overhead is calculated for subcontracted materials in material costing.

Price Factors

If you want to use the valuation variant for inventory costing, you can link it to price factors.

Standard Settings

The standard system provides a number of predefined price strategies.

  • For material valuation, you can choose up to five (5) strategies for each valuation variant.
  • For activity types/processes, you can choose up to three (3) activity prices for each valuation variant.
  • For subcontracting, you can choose up to three (3) strategies for each valuation variant.
  • For external processing, you can choose up to three (3) strategies for each valuation variant.

You can modify these valuation variants to suit your requirements by changing the standard strategy sequences as necessary.

Activities

  1. Enter an alphanumerical key and a name for the new valuation variant.
  2. Define a strategy sequence for the valuation of material components.
    1. To do so, select a price from the material master.
    2. If you access prices from purchasing info records and condition types, you can enter up to three substrategies. If you take prices from condition types, you must enter these condition types in a table in Customizing Raw Material Cost Estimate).
    3. For each material valuation strategy, you can specify whether additive costs are to be included in the valuation of the material component.
  3. Define a valuation strategy for activity types and processes and assign a plan/actual version from cost center planning.
  4. Define a strategy sequence for subcontracting and choose a quota arrangement for subcontracting.
  5. Define a valuation strategy for external processing.
  6. Assign a costing sheet under Overhead applied to semifinished finished materials to the valuation variant.
  7. Specify whether overhead rates should be calculated for subcontracted materials.

    You can enter a costing sheet for the application of overhead to raw materials under Overhead on material components.

    If overhead should be calculated for subcontracted materials, you can specify this here.

  8. Save your entries.
  9. 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.

Note

Materials valuated separately with the material ledger

The standard price is not included in the material ledger data, but rather the current planned price, which normally does not vary from the standard price. In the valuation variant, specify that the system also looks for the current planned price for material valuation. This ensures that a price is found for the valuation of materials even in the case of split valuation.
