Cost Estimation of Configurable material

其實，我用Material Variant去生產就好，不要用Configurable Material生產，對生產單位而言比較簡單。而且成本也可以使用標準成本。

Cost Estimation of Configurable material
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear All,

Its implied that configurable material will not have its BOM and Routing howeve it will select the material as per requirment.  Can any help me out how to do take cost estimation of confugurable material?

Thanks,
sneha

Hi

Based on the Chars you select while creating a sales order, the Sales Order BOM is selected..

With this BOM, the sales order cost estimate is created...

The settings to create a sales order cost estimate upon saving of sales order are to be done in Requirement class (IMG>CO>Prod Costing > Cost Obj Contr > Product Cost By Sales Order > Control of ....)

Dear Ajay,

Thanks for your inputs!!!  However, we are doing  not Sales order cost estimation but taking the cost rollup at Material.  Please suggest how to perform cost estimation at material level for configurable material.

thanks,
Sneha

Hi

Cost estimate from CK11N for config material does not make sense... and neither it is possible for BOM does not exist for the same in CS01...

You need to have Sales order cost estimate...

If you do from Ck11N, it will include components for all the chars and your cost estimate value would touch the sky

Imagine a Car - It has components for red paint, black paint, blue paint etc... If you do from Ck11N, it will include all the paints in the cost, which is wrong..

Sales order cost estimate will include only the color desired by customer

hi sneha..

   I think you may follow the steps :

1. Creat SO in ref. of Customer PO VA01

2. Through MRP run Plan order will be created with ref. to SO MD50/MD04

3. Convert Plan Order to Prod. Order MD04

4. Goods issue to Prod Ord. MB1A/MIGO

5. Confirmation of Prod Ord. CO15

6. GR against Prod. Ord. MB31/MIGO

7. Order Settlement for Prod. Ord. KO88

8. Delivery to finished goods VA01N

Hi Sneha,

a configurable material always needs a configuration - otherwise it cannot be costed.
This configuration can be provided
- in a sales document or
- in a configured material or
- in the simulation environment of t-code CU50

Configured materials can be costed by t-code CK11N.
In CU50 you can create and display cost estimates, but you cannot save them.

Best regards,
