Definition

For valuation using an actual cost estimate, the costing key determines which periodic unit price is to be applied.

  • By entering a valuation view, you specify whether the periodic unit price is read using "legal valuation", "group valuation" or "profit center valuation".
  • You use the "valuation type" parameter to specify how the periodic unit price is transferred to Profitability Analysis. It can be transferred either as a total or as the actual cost component split (that is, divided up by cost component split for costs of goods manufactured).
  • By maintaining the time reference, you specify which period should be used when the periodic unit price is read.
  • With the plant used for reading the cost estimate, you specify the plant from which the actual cost estimate is to be transferred. With the default setting, it is not necessary to specify the plant at the costing key level because it generally suffices to read the actual cost estimates using the plant contained in the CO-PA line item.
  • If you set the control parameter "Exclusive Access to Cost Estimate", the system performs - instead of parallel valuation using different costing keys - an alternative valuation using a single costing key each time.
  • If you set the control parameter "Error message if no cost estimate / unit price found" the system always issues an error message if it does not find an actual cost estimate or a periodic unit price using the current costing key.
