Why utilize Product Costing?
•Product Costing is the backbone of a strong standard cost

system. This is the process by which production activities
are recorded at standard values and variances from actual
costs are isolated.
•For planning purposes, the corporation wants a preliminary
target of what they think it will cost to produce X units of a
product.
•To set attainable standards by which efficiencies within the
production operations can be measured.
•To provide feedback to management on the actual
performance of the production process in relation to those
targets. Identified variances may indicate inefficiencies that
have to be investigated. Corrective action may have to be
taken.

Costing Methodology
Price that changes in consequence of usage

and entry of invoices. Calculated by
dividing the value of material by the quantity
in stock. Automatically recalculated based
on activity.
Constant price without considering usage or

invoices. Material stock valued at the same
price over an extended period. Price
variances are posted to price difference
accounts; not affecting the standard price.
The method of valuing inventory of a

material is determined when
extending/creating the material master.

Characteristics of Price Control V
Moving average price
+ The stock value is adjusted each time goods are received
+ Real-time price fluctations are posted to stock
+ Price difference postings only take place in exceptional cases
- Price fluctuations cannot be adjusted to the finished products of

higher levels (S price)
- Only recommended for raw materials or goods procured externally

(real-time price for goods receipt known)
- False entries with severe consequences (compounded errors)
- Danger of incorrect valuations with delayed invoice receipt

Posting Example: Standard Price
Procedure Stock Stock Value Standard Price
1 Initial situation: 100 200.- 2.00

Characteristics of Price Control S
Standard Price
+ All stock postings take place at the standard price
+ Prices remain constant throughout at least one period
+ Price fluctuations do not debit/credit the cost objects (e.g. orders)
➜ consistant controlling with the standard price as a bench mark
+ Calculation of the standard prices with cost component splits

+ Recommended for all material types
- Price differences cannot be subsequently adjusted to the ending
inventories or the consumed products (sales, production

What is a Product Cost Estimate?
A tool for planning costs and establishing prices for

materials. It is used to calculate the cost of goods sold for
each product unit.
Cost Estimate With Quantity Structure

Utilizes a Bill of Material (BOM) and routing, I.e. Master Recipe for
costing purposes. Integrated with Production Planning (PP).
Cost Estimate WITHOUT Quantity Structure

Utilizes a material master data and activity types entered manually into cost
estimate.
Additive
You use additive costing to enable you to manually add costs that cannot
be calculated by the system to a material cost estimate.

Costing Structure
A cost centers is an organizational unit within a controlling

area that represents a clearly delimited area of
responsibility where costs are monitored against a plan.
Cost Center They represent a defined location of cost incurrence.
Items in a chart of accounts that are relevant to cost, are

referred to as cost elements. They are used for entering all
costs within the entire cost accounting system.
Cost Secondary costs elements are used exclusively in CO to

Elements identify internal cost flows such as assessments or
settlements. They do not have corresponding general
ledger accounts in FI and are defined in CO only.

 Standard price
 Only one validated standard price per product per period,
 The price represents most desired (or most likely) costs
 Only one price per product over the year (recommended)
 Determined during costing runs for Z9P1 costing variants - standard cost
estimate is populated in appropriate valuation views
 Includes variable and fix cost elements
 Base for variances calculation; which is then posted to FI and CO-PA
 Used for stock valuation of finished goods and semi-finished products

 In order-related production (that is, when you are using

production orders) when you want to analyze the costs by

 In process manufacturing (that is, when you are using process

Failed Transactions and Corrections
◆ Incorrect or missing data for components and activities

prevents processing of the back flush transaction
◆ These errors must be corrected before postings can be
made for materials and activities
◆ When the errors have been eliminated, the theoretical yield
and consumption may be adjusted and the results recorded
Summary
 Non-feedstock raw materials are staged daily to the

production area for planned manufacture
 As each production quantity is confirmed, a back flush of
the proportional quantities of raw materials and utilities
consumed is recorded
 The results from the output receipts, plus material &
resource consumptions, update the stock records and
provide valuation of production according to standard cost
approach.

Material Ledger: Overview
Functions of Material Ledger:

 Cost accounting using actual prices
 Storing values of stock in three different valuations
(legal valuation, valuation for reporting purposes, and
profit center valuation) in multiple currencies.
Material Ledger: Overview
Functions of Material Ledger:

 Cost accounting using actual prices
 Storing values of stock in three different valuations
(legal valuation, group valuation for reporting purposes,
and profit center valuation) in multiple currencies.
What is the Material Ledger/Actual Cost
Concept?
The Material Ledger(ML) is a tool within the CO

Module that collects all transactional data for
materials whose master data is stored in the
material master. It acts as a subledger for selected
materials that captures all goods movements,
invoice values, transfers and price changes. On
the basis of this data, the material ledger
calculates and maintains the actual cost for these
materials. This actual cost can then be utilized to
valuate the material stock accounts.
Objectives of the Material Ledger
1. Actual Costing.
During the period, valuation of all goods movements is done
with the preliminary valuation price which is normally the
standard price. All variances from the preliminary valuation are
maintained in the ML. At period end, revaluation of ending
inventory can be performed with the determined actual price.
This is not mandatory. Actual prices can be calculated for
statistical purposes only.
2. Parallel currencies and/or valuations of material stocks.
All goods movements in the ledger can be maintained in 3
currencies. The values are translated into other currencies
using the historical exchange rates. Prerequisite for usage of
transfer pricing functionality.
Benefits of the Material Ledger
►Variances of Finished Goods

Variances from external procurement (purchase orders) as well
as from production activities are rolled up from raw and semi-
finished materials to the finished goods level.
►To provide support for procurement related decisions.
Detailed reporting for procurement processes and sources
possible. Make vs.. Buy, Vendor A vs.. Vendor B. Price History.
►Combines the benefits of Moving Average and Standard Price
Stable prices used for controlling purposes (standard) and actual
prices used for valuation purposes (average).
►Easy to use display and error finding by consolidating the views.
Allows quick access to detailed views of material master,
standard costs and documents
Benefits of the Material Ledger
►Relatively simple configuration and set up
►True Cost of Sales Accounting

Purchasing and production variances for unsold stocks are
inventoried.
►Contribution Margin with Actual Costs of Sales
By utilizing multi-level settlement, actual values for your cost
component split can be attained. This can be transferred to PA
as of release 4.6C
