cost estimate (CO)

Controlling (CO)
A document showing the costs calculated for a costing object.

base planning object (CO-PC)

Product Cost Controlling (CO-PC)
A reference object in unit costing that can be used as a component in another cost
estimate.
You can copy a base planning object when planning other objects in the Controlling
component, such as for material cost estimates without quantity structure,
production orders (CO), and work breakdown structure elements

multilevel BOM (PP)

Production Planning and Control (PP)
A BOM reporting function that lists all assemblies and other components in a
product.
Assemblies in the BOM are followed by the items they contain. These items are set
in from the left margin and are given an ascending level number to show where
they occur in the structure.

Multilevel Unit Costing

Use
Multilevel unit costing uses a highly flexible screen layout for the editing of material
cost estimates without quantity structure and base planning objects.

costing item (CO-PC)

Product Cost Controlling (CO-PC)
A line in a cost estimate.
The data shown in the line varies according to the item category.
Example
A costing item for a material contains the following items:
Material
Plant

Quantity
Unit of measure
Value
A costing item for an internal activity contains the following items:
Cost center
Activity type
Quantity
Value

resource (CO-PC)
Product Cost Controlling (CO-PC)
A tool that, together with the item category, describes what an item in a cost
estimate represents.
Examples of resources in cost estimates:

Materials

Activity types

Purchasing info records

Overhead

costing variant (CO-PC)

Product Cost Controlling (CO-PC)

A tool that contains all control parameters for costing, including parameters
that control how cost estimates are executed and the material prices or
activity prices that are used to valuate the costing items.

costing version (CO-PC)

Product Cost Controlling (CO-PC)
A method of distinguishing two or more cost estimates for the same material.
Costing versions enable you to:

Create and save multiple cost estimates for a given material without the cost
estimates overwriting each other.

In this case, you use the costing version without making further Customizing
settings.

Utilize other control parameters for costing (such as transfer prices, exchange
rate types for converting currencies, or quantity structure types for mixed
costing) without having to use a new costing variant.

In this case, you specify these control parameters in the costing version in
Customizing.

item category (PP-BD)

Basic Data (PP-BD)
An object that defines items in a BOM according to criteria, such as the object type
of the component, for example, material master record or document info record.
The item category controls the following:

Screen sequence

Field selection

Default values

Material entry

Inventory management

Subitems

Examples of item categories are: stock item, non-stock item, and document item.

bill of material (PP)

Production Planning and Control (PP)
A complete, structured list of the components that make up an object. The list
contains the description, the quantity, and unit of measure. The components
are known as BOM items.
BOM categories
In the SAP System, BOMs can form different objects and manage objectrelated data. You can maintain the following BOM categories, for example:
Material BOM
Document structure
Equipment BOM
Functional location BOM
Sales order BOM
Technical types

To display product variants and production alternatives, the system provides

two technical types:
Variant BOM
Multiple BOM

costing level (CO-PC)

Product Cost Controlling (CO-PC)
A level of costing that controls the sequence in which the materials are costed,
enabling cost rollup covering more than one level.

cost rollup (CO-PC)

Product Cost Controlling (CO-PC)
A process in material costing in which costs at lower production levels are allocated
to the highest level.
Costs are rolled up by cost component, assuring that the origin of the costs remains
visible after rollup. For example, labor costs in preassembly are rolled up into the
cost of goods manufactured of the end product as internal labor costs rather than
material costs.
Any costs assigned to cost components that are not rolled up are not included in
cost estimates of higher costing levels.

costing (CO)
Controlling (CO)
A process that calculates the cost of goods manufactured, or the cost of goods sold,
in relation to a product or cost object.
The results of costing are used to determine the following information:

Target costs

Variances for materials produced

Contribution margin for materials sold

The costing process is based on the order quantity or the costing lot size in the
material master record.

master recipe (PP-PI)

Production Planning for Process Industries (PP-PI)
A description of an enterprise-specific process in the process industry that does not
relate to a specific order.
The master recipe is used for producing materials or supplying services.

production version (PP)

Production Planning and Control (PP)
The production version determines production techniques that can be used to
produce a material.
It specifies:

BOM alternative for a BOM explosion

Task list type, task list group, and group counter for allocation to task lists

Lot-size restrictions and area of validity

alternative BOM (PP)

Production Planning and Control (PP)
A tool that used to identify one bill of material in a BOM group.
One product can be represented by several (alternative) BOMs if, for example,
different production processes are used for different lot size ranges. These
alternative BOMs are grouped in a multiple BOM.
