Editor's Notes
#2:Product Cost Planning is an area of Product Cost Controlling in which non-order-related cost planning and price setting for materials are carried out. It accesses the master data of other R/3 applications, that is BOMs, routings and work centers from Production Planning, and cost centers, activity types and business processes from Overhead Cost Controlling. The goal of Product Cost Planning is to update the standard price and create a cost component split to supply basic information for other R/3 applications such as Cost Object Controlling, Profitability Analysis, and Sales and Distribution.
Cost Object Controlling offers a constant and time-based controlling for the cost of goods manufactured. You can carry out lot-based or periodic cost object controlling. Standard costing is the basis of Cost Object Controlling in the R/3 system. With this, the actual quantity produced is multiplied by the standard costs per unit in order to calculate the target costs. This value is compared with the actual costs during cost analysis. If you have set price control S (standard price) in the material master record for semi-finished and finished products, this means that, in Cost Object Controlling, all materials produced are valuated with the standard price when they are delivered to stock. During settlement of the cost object, variances to this standard price are posted to Financial Accounting (price difference) and Profitability Analysis (variance categories).
The component Actual Costing / Material Ledger makes it possible to calculate a period price of the previous period. You can calculate this period price statistically, and have the option of using it to revaluate the stocks.
#3:The material ledger is a tool that collects data for materials whose master data is stored in the material master. On the basis of this data, the material ledger calculates prices for the valuation of these materials. The material ledger creates the basis for actual costing and makes stock valuation in up to three currencies and/or valuations possible.
In its function as a subledger for materials, the material ledger is the prerequisite for the staging of parallel value records for material stocks. While the stock values of materials are, as a rule, only updated in one currency (the currency of the company code), the material ledger makes it possible to carry the material stock values in two additional currencies in the R/3 System. Therefore, all goods movements in the Material Ledger are carried out in up to 3 currencies/valuations. The values are translated into other currencies using historical exchange rates (the translation occurs at the time of the posting).As a result, the material ledger makes an additional display of material stocks in a hard currency possible; this is particularly useful for companies in countries with high rates of inflation. The influence of inflation on the material stock values becomes transparent.
During actual costing, the system automatically calculates new valuation prices and new inventory values independent of each other in the different currencies/valuations from the values collected during the period.
#4:In Material Ledger/Actual costing, the terms “single-level” and “multi-level” are introduced and frequently used.
The Material Ledger focuses on material and their procurement process. The procurement process of a material is not restricted to external procurement but also refers to internal procurement (production, company transfer,…).
The term single-level always refers to one material and its procurement process; that means that all values and quantities that arise during a procurement for said material are stored “single-level”.
In the above example, three single levels are displayed: one for external procurement and two for internal production.
All single levels that belong to a whole production process are grouped and sorted into a Multi-Level structure.
#8:In Financial Accounting, goods movements are valued with a standard price during the period. In Profitability Analysis, invoices are valued with the standard cost component split.
Multilevel Actual Costing is used to calculate actual product costs at period close. These costs include the follow-up costs for materials used in lower production levels and any production variances.
When you have calculated the actual costs, you can transfer the actual cost component split to Profitability Analysis and make a posting to the financial accounts to adjust the material valuation for the period closed.
The actual cost component split includes variances for all production levels. You no longer need to settle the single-level variances on the production order to Profitability Analysis.
#10:In Material Ledger/Actual costing, the terms “single-level” and “multi-level” are introduced and frequently used.
