End Item Unit Costs (ticst0510m000)

Use this session to display the calculated value of the estimated and actual end item unit costs. The estimated and actual costs are calculated for the end item of a production order.

This session has two views:

  • Work center based costs: displays the costs by work center. The costs are displayed by detailed cost component.
  • Item based costs: displays the costs by end item (that is, production order). The costs are aggregated on the effective cost component structure.

In the appropriate menu, you can toggle currencies, if you are operating a multicurrency system.

Note

You can only display the actual end item unit-costs if the production order is closed.

If the Financial Transactions by Work Center check box is selected in the Production Orders (tisfc0501m000) details session, the work in process for the production order is recorded by work center.

Production Order

The status assigned to a production order, which indicates the process stage of a production order. For example, Created, Printed, or Released.

Allowed values

Order Status

Item

The item that is produced by the production order.

Cost View

The way in which the end item unit costs are viewed.

Work Center

The work center to which the costs are linked.

Customer Owned

If this check box is selected, part of the materials used by the work center to which the costs are linked are customer furnished material.

Calculation Date

The date on which the calculation of the estimated end unit-costs was carried out for the last time.

The entered date is stored in this field if the calculation date entered in the Calculate Estimated End Item Unit Costs (ticst0210m000) session differs from the current date.

This date is only filled if the result of the calculation is stored in the End Item Unit Costs (ticst0510m000) session. This date is used for determining the effective date of the cost prices of materials.

Estimated Costs Are Frozen

If this check box is selected, the estimated order costs are frozen.

Financial Transactions by Work Center

If this check box is selected, you can view the production results by work center. The material costs and the hours costs are posted to the work center to which these costs apply.

If this check box is cleared, you can view the production results by production order. The surcharges, as well as the material costs and the hours costs, are posted to the production order's calculation office.

Note

The calculation office currency is also used for production orders that have no operations and work centers, but only materials.

Currencies

When you calculate the estimated costs, and a Dependent currency system is used, the Financial Transactions by Work Center check box also determines the currency that is used:

  • If this check box is selected, the local currency of the costing work center for which the costs are calculated is used.
  • If this check box is cleared, the currency of the calculation office is used.

Estimated end item unit costs

The calculation of the estimated end item unit costs depends on the Financial Transactions by Work Center check box and the cost view, that is, whether the costs are work-center-based or item-based:

1: The total end item unit costs are posted for each work center by detailed cost component. The only work center available is the calculation office. The costs are expressed in the calculation office's currency.

2: The total end item unit costs are posted for the calculation office by the item's effective cost component structure. The costs are expressed in the calculation office's currency.

3: The total end item unit costs are posted for a costing work center or a calculation office by detailed cost component. The costs on a work center include operation costs and material costs. The costs on the calculation office include (added) end item surcharges and the costs for unlinked materials. The costs are expressed in the local currency of the costing work center.

4: The total end item unit costs are posted for the calculation office by the item's effective cost component structure. The costs are expressed in the calculation office's currency.

Note

You can view the end item unit costs, work center-based as well as item-based, in the End Item Unit Costs (ticst0510m000) session.

WIP transfers

If the Financial Transactions by Work Center check box is cleared, WIP transfers are not calculated. Because the production results are viewed by production order, the costs are posted on the production order's calculation office, and no costs are posted on the work centers. Consequently, there is no need to calculate WIP transfers between different work centers.

Calculating efficiency/price variances

If a production order is closed, the Financial Transactions by Work Center check box determines on which level efficiency variances and price variances are calculated. The posting, however, depends on the posting methods that are defined in the following fields:

  • Posting Method Efficiency Variances on Calculation Office
  • Posting Method Price Variances to Calculation Office
  • Posting Method Efficiency Variances on Calculation Office
  • Posting Method Price Variances to Calculation Office

Performance aspects

The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to Financial transactions by work center.

Cost Component

A cost component is a user-defined category for the classification of costs.

Cost components have the following functions:

  • To break down an item's standard cost, sales price, or valuation price.
  • To create a comparison between the estimated production order costs and the actual production order costs.
  • To calculate production variances.
  • To view the distribution of your costs over the various cost components in the Cost Accounting module.

Cost components can be of the following cost types:

  • Operation Costs
  • Material Costs
  • Surcharge
  • General Costs
  • Not Applicable
Note

If you use Assembly Control (ASC), you cannot use cost components of the General Costs type.

AddedCosts

If this check box is selected, costs are added during production.
