Business process in activity base costing

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We have implemented ABC to compute cost for sales order.

We defined business process & templates to compute the cost.

There is one scenario where I need expert advice.

For one of the cost element order to cash have 2 rates one is for a order & another is for a line item in that order.For bith rate we defined separate business process & accordingly mainatined rate in CP26.

In template selected function CalculationRowResult to calculate cost by considering an order as a one number. but we have one case where we want to calculate cost for each line item of sales order. EG if one order has 3 line items & rate is $1 then cost is

3*1=3.

Could anyone please tell me which function to use to calculate number of line items from an order? or there is any other standard method to calculate cost?

Thanks

Hi,

Greetings,

I think, you have to understand the requirement and adaptabilty of ABC as well Activity price.

Each sale order will have atleast one Order item and Header.

Generally,header covers for all items and item specifically cover Sale order Item.

As I know in sale Order costing means Sale Order item costing.when other cost objects are linked with sale Order Item,

Settlement happens to SO item.

I request you, for my understanding,pl.confirm your intention to apply cost at header level and item level !

Please provide more inputs on contemplated scenario for better understanding of your problem.
