Documentation
Definition
The costing key determines which product cost estimate is used to valuate value fields in Profitability Analysis (CO-PA).
- By maintaining the access parameters Costing variant, Version, and Additive cost estimate you can specify a particular cost estimate that should be used to valuate the document in CO-PA.
When you do so, you also need to enter a Costing date or Period/year, or select the Period indicator.
You may not select the "Transfer sales order cost estimate" indicator. - If you select the Transfer sales order cost estimate indicator, you tell the system to read the sales order cost estimate for each specific sales order item.
In this case, the fields "Costing variant", "Version", "Additive cost estimate", "Costing date", "Period/year", and "Period indicator" must be left blank, because the cost estimate to be read is already determined by the sales order item. - The control parameters Auxiliary cost component split and Transfer in controlling area currency let you specify whether the auxiliary cost component split should be transferred, or whether the cost estimate should be transferred in the controlling area currency.
- You use the Plant used for reading cost estimate to determine which plant should be used to read a valid cost estimate for a given material. For the standard setting, it is not necessary to determine the plant at costing key level. This is because it is usually sufficient to read the material cost estimates using the plant found in the CO-PA line item.
- By setting the control parameter "exclusive access to costing", the system performs, instead of a parallel valuation using various costing keys, an alternative valuation using a single costing key at a time.
- By setting the control parameter "error message if no cost estimate available", an error message will always appear whenever no cost estimate is found for the costing key being dealt with.
