Definition

The valuation plant is the plant in which the system looks for a valid cost estimate for the costing keys assigned to a given material.

By default, the system reads the cost estimates in Product Cost Controlling based on the plant found in the CO-PA line item. There are two ways of changing the default setting:

  • With Costing Key Definition (in valuation Customizing under "Define Keys for Accessing Material Cost Estimates"), you can enter a valuation plant explicitly.

    If a plant has been set by the system, this predefined plant is always used to read the costing data.

  • With Assign Costing Keys to Any Characteristics, it is possible to include the field "Valuation plant" in the definition of your assignment table.

    If - during valuation with a material cost estimate - costing keys are determined using "flexible assignment" and a valuation plant is defined in the relevant assignment table, then this plant will be used to read the costing data for all costing keys found without an explicitly specified valuation plant (as opposed to using the plant defined in the CO-PA line item).
