Documentation

Definition

Amount of forecast material costs, in controlling area currency.

Use

You can use the amount maintained here to plan material costs for an activity at an early planning stage, even when not all the details for the material components are available.

If you later add material components for the activity, in the information system the amount of the material components is subtracted from the planning amount until it has been completely used up.

Example

For the internally processed activity, you plan material costs of $2000. The expected material costs for the cost element stored in the network profile are then recorded in the activity.

Later, you assign a total of $1500 in raw material components to the activity. The following values are then recorded in the activity:

Raw material    $1500

Expected material costs    $500
