Donot Cost Field in Material Master when Price indicator is S & V

[lavanya_latha]

Hello,

Could somebody please explain me the impact of selecting the field "Donot Cost" in the Costing Tab of the material master. What would be the impact if the Price indicator is S or V.

Is the material not included in the costing analysis for the project if this field is ticked

Thanks,

Lavanya

Hi Lavanya,

The Do Not Cost indicator denotes whether the material is to be costed while cost run i.e. while executing ck40n. If the indicator is set, the material is excluded from selection and no BOM and Routing of the same will be exploded. It means you cannot create material cost estimate (with or without quantity structure).

Price Indicator controls the movement of the material and its valuation.

If the Price Indicator is S and the Do not Cost indicator is active, the standard price of the material will never get updated.

Hi,

the "do not cost" indicator in material master blocks a material against being costed, no matter if its CK11n, CK40N,... It is independent from price control "V" or "S".

The material itself can be an input material in a bill of material for other products.

best regards, Christian
