| Calculating Estimated CostsThe calculation procedure of the estimated order costs is
similar to the standard cost calculation. Only the differences are
discussed. -
The calculation of the estimated order costs uses other
data sources. Estimated order costs are based on: - Ordered quantity in
the production order
- Estimated materials
- Production planning
- For the estimated order costs, only the item receipt surcharges
(for end items) are calculated.
-
The fixed costs are excluded from the estimated order
costs, if one of the following check boxes is cleared: - The calculation is influenced by the Financial Transactions by Work Center check box in the Production Order Parameters (tisfc0100s000) session. If the check box is selected, for
every operation the estimated order cost is accumulated from the current
operation and from previous operations. The amount is stored on the WIP
transfer cost component.
-
Estimated order costs do not lead to financial
transactions. The estimated order cost are used for: - The determination of
the production results
- WIP transfer prices
- Preclosure posting
of surcharges.
-
Subcontracting is the process of outsourcing a part of the
production process to a supplier. Two types occur: - Unplanned
subcontracting
- Planned
subcontracting
The order estimate
always includes costs for subcontracting. | |
