SAP Product Costing Configuration

Updated May 18, 2018

 

SAP Product Costing  Configuration

INTRODUCTION

A Warm Welcome Friends.  You are going to love this book and we have taken great efforts to ensure that we present the configuration in a very simple yet detailed manner. 

Product costing module of SAP has eased out all hassles of costing a manufactured product. Product costing module uses data for valuation from the Production planning (PP) module. 

The Product Planning Module maintains the Bill of Material and Routing or the Master Recipe. Product Cost primarily consists of Material Cost, Labor cost and Overhead cost

To arrive at the material cost, SAP picks up the quantity of raw and packing material required from the Bill of Material. It then valuates this quantity with the various prices available in the material master in accordance with the strategy specified in customizing. 

In a like manner it does the same to arrive at the labor cost. The time required for each operation is specified in the routing or recipe. This quantity is multiplied by the activity prices maintained in the cost center accounting module. We will cover all this and more in this document.

We will also cover product cost planning, cost object controlling by period (repetitive manufacturing), cost object controlling by order, cost object controlling by sales order and configuration settings for co-product costing.

We had configured controlling area 9100, in the document on cost center accounting. We will now do the product-costing configuration in controlling area 9100.
