Documentation
Definition
Using the period indicator, you can specify the date for which the system should look for a valid material cost estimate in the database for Product Cost Controlling.
The following options are available for the period indicator:
Material cost estimate valid on the posting date
Released standard cost estimate valid on the date of goods issue
Future standard cost estimate as entered in the material master
Current standard cost estimate as entered in the material master
Past standard cost estimate as entered in the material master
- If the period indicator refers to the posting date, the most recent material cost estimate valid on the posting date is determined when the costing data is being accessed. The callup of this costing data occurs in accordance with the specified costing variant and the specified costing version.
The material cost estimate can have the status "costed without errors", "marked without errors" or "released without errors".
- If the period indicator refers to the goods issue date, the released standard cost estimate valid on the date of goods issue is determined when the costing data is being accessed. Only the standard cost estimates with the status "released without errors" are involved.
If the date of goods issue field in the CO-PA line item is empty, the system looks for a released standard cost estimate valid on the posting date.
- If the period indicator refers to entries in the material master, costing is then always accessed using the first day of the period stored in the material master. Access occurs in accordance with the specified costing variant and the specified costing version. The period involved here is the one maintained in the entries in the valuation segment for the material master as the future, current or past standard cost estimate for a given material.

Further notes
- When you define a costing key, you can enter either a costing date, a period or a value for the period indicator.
Significance of the costing date in Product Cost Accounting
- When valuating billing data, you can calculate the costs of merchandise sold, reconciled to Financial Accounting, by setting the period indicator for the relevant costing key to
"released standard cost estimate valid on the date of goods issue".
In some cases, the costs of merchandise sold that are calculated through valuation with the material cost estimate differ from the costs in Financial Accounting due to rounding differences. If you wish to see any specific rounding differences that have occurred, it is recommended that you determine these using the user exit in valuation and then place them in value field of their own.
