Costing work centersGeneral Costing work centers serve as an extra level on top of the planning work centers to make costing and planning more independent. With the introduction of costing work centers, you can change an operation 's work center during production planning when the estimated costs are already frozen, provided the new planning work center has the same enterprise unit as the costing work center. As a result, when you change a work center, you no longer need to change all work centers in the operation set and recalculate the estimated costs. A costing work center has the following advantages:
Settings To define a costing work center, take the following steps:
Note
Functional explanation When a production order is created, the estimated hours and associated costs are transferred to the costing work center that is linked to the planning work center. If no costing work center is linked, the estimated hours are transferred to the planning work center. If the estimated costs are frozen on a moment that is defined in the Moment Freezing Estimates field of the Production Orders (tisfc0101s000) session, the end item unit costs are calculated. You can view the end item unit costs by costing work center in the End Item Unit Costs (ticst0510m000) session. When the estimated costs are frozen, the WIP transfers are also calculated. The WIP transfers take place between the costing work centers. Note After the costs are frozen, the planning work center can change as long as the new planning work center has the same enterprise unit as the costing work center. The costing work center cannot change after the costs are frozen. If you decide to ad hoc subcontract an operation and decide to use an external work center instead of a planning work center, the only condition is that the external work center is linked to the same costing work center as the other work centers.
