configuration material costing

[Former Member]

Dear Gurus,

I need some help for configuration material costing. In this case, we launch PP and running MTS(make to stock). Material type of finished goods is FERT, product cost settlement by production order .

Now, we want to run CTO(configure to order) , Material type is FERT & HALB.

I had search relative topic , i know configuration materials can not use CK40N for standard cost, cost settlement by SO.....

The query is, we don't want to costing by SO at this moment, is it possible to maintain the CO setting base on MTS and don't settlement by SO ?

Thanks advance!!!

Hi,

The question you posed is not very clear. But based on what i have perceived, let me explain...

Make to Order (MTO) is of many types -

1. MTO with sale order controlling

2. MTO without sale order controlling

3. Configuration management with KMAT material type

4. Engineer to Order

5. Assemble to Order

Let me know which scenario you are trying to do...

I feel you must be talking about MTO without sale order controlling ( u asked "is it possible to maintain the CO setting base on MTS and don't settlement by SO").

if that is the case, the answer is YES

in your setting for item category you make sure that you don't determine sale order item as cost object.

please ensure proper settings for 1. Account Assignment category, 2. Requirement Type 3. Requirement Class Settings

This particular scenario is purely for logistical purpose.

We use the normal costing run (CK40N) costs for this purpose. total costing cycle would be as good as MTS except that all the stocks are reserved for Sale Order.

I hope i made is clear.

Best Regards
