In this step you establish the technical attributes of the cost estimate.
In the costing type, you define the purpose of a material cost estimate by specifying, for example, which field in the material master record the costing results can be transferred to:
Update Cost Estimate
Standard price Standard cost estimate (01)
Tax-based price Inventory cost estimate
Commercial price Inventory cost estimate
Price other than std price Modified standard cost estimate or
No update Any cost estimate
Make sure of the following when defining the parameters for the standard cost estimate:
- That the cost component view for inventory valuation is used as the basis for standard price calculation
- That this cost component view contains the cost components that are relevant for inventory valuation
Make sure of the following when defining the parameters for inventory calculation:
- That the cost component view for tax-based or commercial inventory is used as the basis for tax-based or commercial price calculation
- That this cost component view contains the cost components relevant for tax-based or commercial valuation.
- That the lowest value is calculated when costs are transferred into the material master record
With commercial or tax-based cost estimates, the system checks whether the current valuation price (according to the material's price control) is less than the tax-based or commercial price. If the current valuation price is lower, this price is updated as the tax-based or commercial price, rather than the value calculated in the inventory cost estimate.
If you want to transfer the results of the inventory cost estimate to the material master record independent of lowest value determination, set the indicator Other (not std price) in the costing type. You can transfer the results of the cost estimate to the material as the tax-based or commercial price anyway.
The costing type also defines the following:
- On what basis overhead is calculated
For this, you enter a cost component view. The cost component view indicates which portion of the cost components are included in tax-based and commercial inventory valuation. The system creates an itemization for each cost component view. This itemization lists the individual items that were entered into the cost estimate.
If, for example, semifinished products were entered into the cost estimate with their costs (including costs of goods manufactured, sales and distribution costs and administration costs, etc.), you can only calculate material overhead on the basis of the costs of goods manufactured for the semifinished product by entering cost component view '01' (costs of goods manufactured) as the overhead rate base.
- Whether the cost estimate should be saved with a date in its key
You have the following options:
- Without date
- With date
- With start of period
For the standard cost estimate, you must update automatic costing with the With start of period indicator. This ensures that the results of the standard cost estimate can be used as the standard price for that period.
For the other costing types, you can update the costing results with the With date indicator, for example. In this case the current date becomes part of the key.
For cost estimates that are not standard cost estimates, you can also specify whether a preliminary cost estimate for the product cost collector is allowed.
In repetitive manufacturing, if you want to collect the activity quantities for confirmation using the preliminary cost estimate for the product cost collector rather than the standard cost estimate for the material being manufactured, you must do the following:
- Enter a repetitive manufacturing profile in the material master record
- Set the indicator Preliminary costing for product cost collectors in the relevant costing type
If you are using parallel valuation in group costing, you can specify the valuation view and partner version of the costing type.
Example
Requirements
If you want to define your own cost component views, process the step Define Cost Components
If you want to calculate parallel values, you must do the following:
- Check the settings for parallel valuation in Customizing for General Controlling
- In Customizing for Enterprise Controlling, check the assignment of operative valuation from the currency/valuation profile of the controlling area:
Check settings for the controlling area
If you want to show partner shares, process the step Define Partner Versions.
Standard settings
The standard system contains the following predefined costing types:
Costing type Purpose
01 Standard cost estimate
10 Inventory cost estimate (tax-based)
11 Inventory cost estimate (commercial)
12 Modified standard cost estimate
13 Current cost estimate
19 Preliminary cost estimate for the product cost collector (repetitive manufacturing)
Recommendation
Activities
- Enter an alphanumeric key and a name for the new costing type.
Numeric keys will be rejected because they are reserved for the standard settings.
- Enter an overhead rate base.
- Specify whether and how the date for cost estimates with and without quantity structure is saved.
- Specify whether and how the costing results should be updated in the material master record.
- If necessary, determine the following:
- Whether an external number assignment is allowed for versions of this costing type
- Whether a preliminary cost estimate is created for product cost collectors
- Which valuation view the costing type represents
- Which partner version is linked to the costing type
