If you want to represent group costing for materials, you can define partner versions in this step.

In group costing, you can create a cost component split that shows the value added for each manufacturing level. This provides you with information such as which partners provided which resources. Partners can be represented by the following organizational units:

If you only want to show the resources provided by one partner directly to another, you can define direct partners on the basis of the same organizational units. In this case the value added of the previous partners goes into the cost component split of the direct partners.

You can define the partner version using any combination of organizational units - for both partners and direct partners. The system creates a cost component split for each organizational unit that you choose.

The partner version is determined during costing through the costing type.

Examples

  • Suppose there are supply relationships (such as stock transfer) between four plants, and you want a cost component split for each plant. In this case you choose the plant as the partner.
  • Suppose there are supply relationships between four plants and two profit centers, and you want a cost component split for each plant and profit center. In this case you choose the plant and the profit center as the partners.
  • Suppose there are supply relationships between four plants, and you only want to see the cost of resources in the cost component split that come from the immediately preceding plant. In this case you choose the plant as the direct partner.
