Documentation
Definition
The overhead key is used to determine order-specific or material-related overhead rates.
Procedure
Orders, cost object IDs and base planning objects: To be able to calculate an overhead percentage rate using the overhead key you must:
- Assign a costing sheet to your order or cost object ID or base planning object.
- Use the field "Overhead key" in the overhead rates in the costing sheet
For product costing, production orders and run schedule headers:
To be able to apply overhead using the overhead key you must:
- Assign a costing sheet to your order or to the valuation variant for the cost estimate
- Use the field "Overhead key" in the overhead rates in the costing sheet
- Assign the overhead key to an overhead group
- Enter this overhead group in the master record of the material being used.
Examples
The overhead amounts depend on the plant and the overhead key. The overhead depends primarily on the overhead key. If an overhead key is not maintained for the material or the order, overhead is to be determined in relation to the plant.
Define a costing sheet that points to two condition tables. In the first table, the overhead amount depends on the overhead key. In the second table, the overhead amount depends on the plant. An access sequence determines which conditions have priority.
Dependencies
The overhead key is also used as a selection criterion for the determination of the templates for Activity-Based Costing. If a process template is assigned to an overhead key and costing sheet of an order, process costs are determined for the order.
When you change the overhead key or the costing sheet, the system uses another process template, if required.
