Hi

I have this problem:

My company currently has one plant in sap instalation , the materials assigned to this plant have a standar cost that represents local standar cost, but several materials have another cost (exportation cost) my users save the exportation cost in an informative field (Planned price), as consequence users make a posting adjustment the diferenece between local cost and exportation cost.

would be better if we have 2 plants ? the first one with local cost and the second one with exportation cost ? are there another options ?

One material can be expected to have a single standard cost estimate, irrespective of that material being exported or sold locally.

Which scenario of sales require such adjustment postings?

What represent the difference between the local cost and the standard cost?

We have 2 sales scenarios : local and exportation.

the costs are diferents, and the diference is basically that the exportation cost is lower than local cost because a legal benefit.

Government grants are rarely gratuitous. The enterprise <b>earns</b> them through compliance with their conditions and meeting the envisaged obligations. They should <b>therefore be taken to income</b> and matched with the associated costs which the grant is intended to compensate.

Thanks Sridhar

the goverment grant is in order to promote exportation from local companies... as we have 2 diferent costs and 2 diferents profic centers , do you believe that its better to have 2 plants each one with his respective cost and profit center ? or could be better to have one single plant (as we have) and make postings in FI reclassifiing or adjusting the costs.

Additional plant is not mandatory.

Through substitution, perhaps, you may be able to change the profit center for exports.

Make FI postings to show the subsidy. Through COPA you may be able to distribute the subsidy to product level.

Hi,

Use split valuation in material master and track costs for each valuation type , in such case standard will be at average but you can track the actual costs separately.
