The costing variant contains the control parameters for the cost estimate.

Here you check the costing variants that are used in the Product Cost by Period component for the following purposes:

  • For the preliminary cost estimate of a product cost collector
  • For simultaneous costing and final costing of a product cost collector

You carry out the following steps:

  • Costing variants for the calculation of activity quantities

    Here you check the control parameters of the preliminary cost estimate for the product cost collector (SAP standard costing variant PREM9) and the material cost estimate with quantity structure (for more information on costing variants for material costing with quantity structure see the section Define Costing Variants).

    If you are a repetitive manufacturer and have specified in the repetitive manufacturing profile that you want activity types allocated automatically at confirmation, make an additional entry in the repetitive manufacturing profile as to whether the activity quantities are proposed on the basis of the preliminary costing of the product cost collector or on the basis of the standard cost estimate for the material. This means that the costing variants entered here that are used for the preliminary costing of the product cost collector or for standard cost estimates can also be used for the actual costing of the default activity types (also see: Check control data for the repetitive manufacturing profile).

  • Costing variants for valuation of internal activities

    Here you check the valuation variant assigned to the costing variant. This valuation variant determines which activity prices are used for valuation of the actual activity types and business processes

    • That are allocated manually
    • That are allocated automatically through a confirmation in PP
    • That are charged to the product cost collector through template allocation

Requirements

Standard Settings

The standard system contains a number of predefined costing variants for the product cost collector.

  • The standard cost estimate for the material uses costing variant "PPC1 / standard cost estimate (material)".

    This costing variant contains the following settings:

    • Costing type "01 / standard cost estimate (material)"
    • Costing type "01 / standard cost estimate (material)" specifies among other things that the results of the standard cost estimate can be written to the material master record as the standard price. This costing type cannot be changed.
    • The Valuation variant "001 / planned valuation, material"(also see: Define valuation variants for material cost estimates with quantity structure )
    • The quantity structure determination ID "PC01 / standard quantity structure control 2"
      • The quantity structure determination ID specifies which strategy is used to select BOMs and routings for the standard cost estimate.
  • Costing variant "PREM / preliminary costing for product cost collector" is used for the preliminary cost estimate for the product cost collector.
  • The version-specific cost estimate uses costing variant PREM.

    This costing variant contains the following settings:

    • Costing type "19 / product cost collector"
      • Costing type "19 / product cost collector" specifies that this cost estimate is suitable for the preliminary costing of product cost collectors. You can only use the costing type "19" for the preliminary costing of product cost collectors.
    • Valuation variant "001 / planned valuation, material"

      Because the BOM and routing for the cost estimate are selected through the production process of the product cost collector, the quantity structure determination ID does not play a role here.

  • Costing variant "PPP3 / product cost collector" is used for selection of the activity prices to valuate the actual activity types and business processes

    This costing variant contains the following settings:

    • Costing type "07 / production order - actuals"
      • Costing type "07 / production order - actuals" specifies the technical attributes of the cost estimate. This costing type cannot be changed.
    • Valuation variant "007/ production order - actual"
      • This valuation variant determines which activity price is used valuate actual activity types and business processes (see also: Check valuation variants for PP and CO manufacturing orders).

Note

Although it is technically possible to have two costing variants with the same costing type and valuation variant, this should be avoided to prevent data from being overwritten.

The reason for this is that the key structure for the costing results in the database uses the costing type and the valuation variant, rather than the costing variant.

SAP recommendation

You should assign a different valuation variant to each costing variant with which you want to save cost estimates.

This one-to-one assignment enables you to change the valuation strategies later as required.

Actions

Decide whether the existing costing variants meet your requirements.

To create a new cost estimate for calculation of the activity quantities, proceed as follows:

Enter an alphanumerical key and a name for the costing variant. Then proceed as described in the text Define costing variants for material cost estimates with quantity structure. The quantity structure control is not relevant for costing variants that were created for the preliminary costing of product cost collectors.

To create a new costing variant for valuation of the internal activities:

  1. Specify an alphanumerical key and a text for the new costing variant.
  2. Assign a costing type and a valuation variant to the new costing variant.

    If you want to use your own parameters, you must carry out the steps under Define valuation variants product cost collectors.

Further Notes

If you don't want automatic activity type or business process allocation, you can manually enter a cost allocation for the product cost collector. To do this, you must define a corresponding screen variant. See also:

Define screen variants for activity allocations

To establish the costing variant as the default costing variant, enter the costing variant in the default values for the order type.
