I am trying to set up a batch job process through autosys to cost new materials that are created in a specific plant. The nature of this plant's business is that they create new custom materials each day, so this is not a typical environment where we just cost annually. We also need to cost this volume of new materials each day so they can be produced the next day. I can't find a program that can run in the background that will create the costing run header details. I'm basically looking for a way to do what transaction CK41 does. The program for transaction CK41 is not an executable program, so that won't work. I need to create a new costing run each day because the costing date from will need to change each day to the current date.
Any advice on this would be very helpful. I was not able to find other SCN forum answers or SAP notes that addressed the creation of a costing run in a background job.
