Product costing

Hi

I too almost similar situation like you and tried to understand CO-PC . as per my understanding Product Costing has 3 major parts

1.Product cost planning ( Where all setting relating to planning are done. here understanding about Cost Component and Costing Varient is important )

2.Cost Obect Controlling ( Here config relating to actual flow of cost to CO-Pc module will take place , Here understanding about Result Analysis, Variance Analysis important )

3.Material Ledger/Actual Costing ( In the initial stages not advisable to touch this area , once familiar with the above to then this can be understand )

One more thing is before understanding above , its advisable to understand the flow of values with in controlling and from to other modules ( for this i found AC040 material is the best )

In the initial stages of learning product costing if you refer so many books etc may lead to confusions . So be learn specific topics first as mentioned above or as mentioned by other members.

I have mentioned above points with my very little experiece/ knowledge in product costing . Request Experts to rectify any mistakes or suggest any betterment.

All the best

Hi

Go through the notes for

1. Cost component structure

2. Costing Variant and its components

3. Period end closing activities like Result analysis

This will be a very good initial understanding
