This document provides instructions for performing a mass costing run in SAP. It describes running a costing for finished and semi-finished products valued at standard price. The process involves setting selection parameters to choose materials by type and plant, executing a BOM explosion, performing cost estimation, analyzing results, and marking and releasing standard prices. The full procedure takes the user through 63 steps to complete a costing run for multiple materials and plants at once.

CK40N -
Functionality
Costing run is basically a single transaction code which covers both CK11N (Create cost
estimate) and CK24 (Mark and release cost estimate).
Further it has the benefit that you can do a mass costing (more than one material) at the
same time and more than one plant at the same time.
Thus you should always use costing run even to cost a single material code, because when
you mark and release it marks and release even for all the lower level material codes which
have BOM and recipe.
Scenario
We want to do a mass costing run for all the finished and semi finished products that are
valued at standard price.
Requirements
Bill of Materials must be maintained. Activity prices must exist as planned prices on the
cost centers. Routings and activity types must be maintained.
