The document discusses cost estimation in SAP, including standard cost estimation, tools used like costing variants and cost component splits, and how to perform a cost estimate with or without a quantity structure. It also covers how to update material master prices by running a costing run or price update after completing a cost estimate. The key steps are to 1) create a cost estimate using tools like costing variants, 2) save and display the estimate results, and 3) update material prices by running a price update or costing run to transfer costs to the material master.

1. Product Costing - Cost Estimation in SAP
Cost Estimation
• The price of the finished goods (FG) and semi-finished goods (SFG) manufactured is determined
through Standard Cost estimate.
• Standard cost is estimated based on the cost of input materials, planned cost of activities and
overheads.
• It is the price at which the finished and semi-finished goods are valuated in finance.
• The standard cost once estimated is valid for a specific period interval.
• A standard cost estimate is created at the end of the period and is valid for the entire next
period.
• When the standard cost estimate for the respective material (FG & SFG) is released, the system
updates the result of this estimate as standard price in ‘Accounting 1’ and ‘Costing 2’ view detail
screen of the material master record.
• This price is then valid for valuation of material in financial accounting till next cost estimate is
run.
• The materials are revaluated when the next standard cost estimate is released.
• In this specific period interval, all the FG and SFG produced through production order or product
cost collector are valued at the standard cost updated in the material master.
• This is termed as ‘Cost of goods manufactured’ (COGM).
Following are the important tools used in cost estimate.
• Costing Variant
• Cost Component Split
• Costing Estimate with/without quantity structure
• Costing Run/Price Update
The above mentioned tools have been discussed in detail in this article to cover the concept
behind the standard cost estimate in SAP.

2. Costing Variant
It is a key based on which standard cost is performed and valuated. Following are the control
parameters in costing variant.
(a) Costing Type :
It updates price such as ‘Standard price’ or ‘Commercial price’ or ‘Tax valuation’ price depending upon
the price update type. It contains the ‘calculation base ’ based on which prices are updated in material
master for FG and SFG.
For inventory valuation, calculation base will always be ‘COGM’. The COGM value will be determined
through ‘Cost component split’.
(b) Valuation Variant:
It searches prices of input materials, activities and overhead ( overhead cost sheet ) during cost estimate.
The strategy sequences for searching of the prices are specified for input materials, activities and
overhead in the valuation variant.
The strategy sequence prioritizes whether moving Avg. price, standard price or Info record price is to be
picked up for input material, plan or actual price is to be picked for activities. It also specifies which
costing sheet is to be used for overhead calculation (Material OH, Production OH).
Strategy Sequence : Input Material
Priority Strategy Sequence
1 Moving Average Price
2 Last Price from Purchasing Info Record
Strategy Sequence : Activity Prices

3. Priority Strategy Sequence
1. Actual Price of Previous Period
2. Plan Price for the Period
3. Plan Price as Average of All Fiscal Year Periods
(c) Date Control :
It determines period for which cost estimate is applicable.
(d) Quantity Structure control :
It determines BOM and routing which is to be considered for costing. It considers only those BOM and
Routing which have the status ‘Release for Costing’.
Cost Component Split
What elements of costs are to be considered in ‘Cost of goods manufactured (COGM)’ is specified in
Cost component structure. Each cost component mentioned in Costing (A) are captured in controlling
through cost elements which are grouped in Cost Component Structure (B) as COGM, COGS.
In Costing Type of costing variant, COGM will be specified as the calculation base for standard cost.
Therefore, the summation of COGM in Cost component structure will be carried to SFG’s and FG’s
material master as standard cost.

4. Cost estimate with quantity structure - CK11N
• Cost estimate with quantity structure is a tool for estimating material costs.
• It calculates standard cost of goods manufactured.
• CK11N is the transaction code for cost estimate with quantity structure.
• In cost estimate SFG or FG code, plant, costing variant, costing version, costing period interval,
quantity structure date ( BOM and Routing), valuation date for input material in BOM and
activities in routing needs to be specified.
• All dates as mentioned are defaulted by the system through Date control in costing variant which
can be overwritten manually.
• In cost estimate, the system on the basis of costing variant and the finished good item code
specified determines the quantity structure of the BOM and Routing.
• It then valuates the input materials in the BOM and the production activities from the routing with
prices according to the strategy sequence maintained in the Valuation Variant (see costing
variant) for input material and activities.
• It calculates the overhead as per Costing Sheet maintained in costing variant.
• Cost estimate gives break up of the costing according to the cost component split defined for the
cost estimate.
• Cost estimate result needs to be saved before price update run or costing run.
• The cost estimate with quantity structure accesses data in the Production Planning (PP), Materials
Management (MM), and Controlling (CO) application of the SAP System.
Cost Estimates without Quantity Structure: KKPAN
• Costing without a quantity structure is a tool for planning costs and setting prices for materials
without reference to quantity structure ( BOM and routing ) in Production Planning.
• It is intended for materials with insufficient or no quantity structure data. It can also be used to
enter data from non-SAP systems.
• This is very useful while simulating costing based on Management requirement without creating
quantity structure in the system.
• A material cost estimate without a quantity structure enables to plan the costs for raw materials,
internal activities, and external activities for a product in the form of a unit cost estimate.
• Unit costing is a type of spreadsheet that, due to its integration, can use existing master data
and prices in the system, such as activity prices from Cost Center Accounting.
• Cost estimates without quantity structure can access data in various application components:
• Materials Management (MM), such as material master records and services
• Production Planning (PP), such as work centers and resources
• Controlling (CO), such as cost centers and activity types

5. Costing Run / Price update:
• Once cost estimate is carried out, costing results needs to be transferred to material master for
updating prices.
• Depending on the purpose of costing (Inventory valuation for AS-2, simulation costing for the
purpose for management decision etc), selected price controls( Standard Price, Tax Valuation
Price, Commercial Price) specified in the costing type ( see costing variant ) in the material
master can be updated.
• When the cost estimate is ‘Marked’ Future standard price in the material master is updated.
• After marking, the cost estimate is ‘Released’, the new released standard price becomes the
‘Current standard price’ and standard price previously updated in ‘Current standard price’ is
updated in the ‘Previous standard price’.
• The existing inventory gets revalued with the new current standard price and system passes
following accounting entry for revaluation.

• Once you have carried out a cost estimate for a material, you can transfer
the costing results to the material master as prices.
• To set a new standard price in the material master, you must mark and
release the standard cost estimate.
• Before you can mark and release a standard cost estimate, you must allow
standard cost estimates to be marked and released in a company code.
• If you release a standard cost estimate for a material, the marked price is
transferred into the material master record as the current standard price for
the current period.
• This price is then active for external accounting.
• The materials with "S" price control are valuated with the new standard
price.
• The current standard price becomes the previous standard price.
Simultaneously periodic unit price is used in single-level and multilevel
material price determination to valuate the materials for the closed period.
• Once you have released the cost estimate, you cannot create a new standard
cost estimate in this period.
• Although you can delete a released cost estimate, the materials are still
valuated with the released standard price.
• When a current standard cost estimate is deleted, the previous standard
price no longer becomes the current standard price.
• To determine a new standard price, you have to carry out costing, marking
and releasing afresh

Once you have carried out a cost estimate for a material, you can transfer the costing results to
the material master as prices.
To set a new standard price in the material master, you must mark and release the standard
cost estimate. Before you can mark and release a standard cost estimate, you must allow
standard cost estimates to be marked and released in a company code.
If you release a standard cost estimate for a material, the marked price is transferred into the
material master record as the current standard price for the current period. This price is then
active for external accounting. The materials with "S" price control are valuated with the new
standard price. The current standard price becomes the previous standard price. Simultaneously
periodic unit price is used in single-level and multilevel material price determination to valuate
the materials for the closed period.
Once you have released the cost estimate, you cannot create a new standard cost estimate in
this period. Although you can delete a released cost estimate, the materials are still valuated
with the released standard price. When a current standard cost estimate is deleted, the
previous standard price no longer becomes the current standard price. To determine a new
standard price, you have to carry out costing, marking and releasing afresh.
The cost estimate has the status ‘VO: Marked without errors’. Only the results of cost estimates
that have been marked without errors can be released.
CK40N Edit Costing Run The costing run enables to cost, analyze, mark and release more than one product at
the same time.
Costing with quantity structure results in an explosion of the BOM and the derivation

7. of activity prices from the routings and work centers to create a cost estimate for each
product.
Marking the cost estimate results in the standard price becoming visible on the
material master in the field Planned Price as the future standard price.
Releasing the cost estimate can occur once the period roll-over has happened and the
standard price becomes the current valuation price of the product. A financial
document is created for the valuation difference of stock. Every goods issue in the new
period will effectively be valued against the new standard price.
Mass costing run for all products that are valuated at standard price.
Requirements
Bill of Materials (BOM’s) must be maintained. Activity prices must exist as planned
prices on the cost centers linked to Work Centers. Routings and activity types must be
maintained.

You can call up this report to obtain a quick overview of the sales order items to be costed. Flat
product materials are costed on the sales order. The materials are costed and marked when the
sales order is saved. It is possible that a sales order cost estimate, may be saved with error due
to routings or BOM changes. In order to monitor these sales orders with incorrect cost estimates
you need to run this report. The report lists down the sales order in the order of delivery date.
The report has 2 columns Status SD and Costing status. In case of incorrect cost estimate the
Status SD column will show COST and the costing status as blank.

Through the production process, Product Cost Collectors are debited with actual costs.
The actual costs posted to a product cost collector can be more or less than the value
with which a product cost collector was credited when the goods receipt was posted.
When you settle, this difference between the debit and credit of the product cost
collector is transferred to Financial Accounting (FI). Settlement also feeds data from
Cost Object Controlling to other components.
The following can happen during the settlement process:
The order balance can be reduced to zero by transferring to Financial Accounting (FI)
the difference between the preliminary inventory valuation (goods receipt) and the
actual costs incurred. The price difference can also be transferred to Profit Center

Calculate
The WIP calculation process valuates the unfinished products (work in process).
In the Product Cost by Order component, the work in process is valuated at actual costs. Work in
process is the difference between the debit and credit of an order that has not been completely
delivered. This method determines the work in process for each production order by calculating
the difference between the actual costs incurred and the actual costs settled (that is, the
difference between the debits for goods issues, internal activity allocations, external activities,
and overhead on the one hand, and the credits for goods receipts on the other). Once the last
part of the order lot has been delivered to stock, any remaining work in process must be
canceled so that the order costs can properly be settled to stock.
The status of the order determines whether WIP calculation creates or cancels the work in
process.
If the order has the status REL (released), the system can calculate work in process.
Once the order receives the status DLV (Delivered) or TECO (Technically completed), the work in
process calculated in a previous period is canceled.
