Definition

Strategy sequence that determines how internal activities and processesare valuated in costing.

Use

The activities and business processes used are valuated with the prices from Cost Center Accounting or Activity-Based Costing to determine the production costs or process costs. The prices can either be calculated iteratively through price calculation, or entered manually by the user.

Procedure

You can enter either a single strategy or more than one strategy in the form of a strategy sequence. If you enter more than one strategy, the priority of the strategy determines which price is selected.

Examples

The following strategy sequence is entered:

  1. Actual price of the previous period
  2. Plan price of the previous period
  3. The most current plan price

If the system finds a price for the activity type, this price is used for valuating the internal activities. If no price was calculated for the previous period, the plan price from the previous period is used to valuate the activity type.

If the system cannot find a plan price for the previous period, it looks for a future plan price, using the next price in the posting period to valuate the internal activities. For example, if plan prices have been entered for periods 2 and 3, and a plan price is calculated in period 1 for period 4, the system uses the price from period 3 in accordance with the valuation strategy Most up-to-date plan price.

Dependencies

You can use more than one price at the same time. You determine which version is relevant for costing through the CO version function in CO.
