Product Costing issue

[former_member590677]

Hello Gurus,

i need your advice in product costing scenario we are having in our current implementation project.

My client is Aluminium Manufacturers.

The hot metal is produced in pots and converted in to FG in cast house.

Now the scenario is : Pots are of two types stable and unstable, Generally unstable pots do variable consumption and the metal produced out of unstable pots is considered as Capital WIP. All this is done manually in excel monthly.

And they have different cost of production calculated for both stable and unstable hot metal.

Now how this scenario can be implemented in CO module as we have single material code for Hot Aluminium and if go by considering it as it is, costing run will be affected due to cost difference of stablized and unstablized metal.

Please suggest how this scenario can be tackled in system.

best regards

Parshant

Did you consider to use two valuation types for the same material?

In this case you can create two cost estimate with mix ratio and you can get actual CoGM for both valuation types.

Hello Prashant,

Yes you are right your requirement to capture the cost of material make by different processes can be update in SAP through Product cost accounting, but it will need various inputs from CO and PP team, please share the idea and ask them to help!

thanks,
