Hi,
Read the below document,
A tool that contains all control parameters for costing, including
parameters that control how cost estimates are executed and the material
prices or activity prices that are used to valuate the costing items.
In material costing (costing with and without quantity structure), the
costing variant determines the following:
o The purpose of the cost estimate (costing type)
o The prices that are selected to valuate the quantity structure and
calculate overhead expenses (valuation variant)
o The dates that apply to the actual cost estimate and to the
explosion and valuation of the quantity structure (date control)
o How the BOMs and routings are selected to create the quantity
structure (quantity structure control; only relevant for cost
estimates with a quantity structure)
o The strategy by which the SAP System looks for costing data from
other cost estimates (transfer control)
In unit costing (base object costing and unit costing for orders), the
costing variant determines the following:
o The purpose of the cost estimate (costing type)
o The prices that are selected to valuate the costing items (valuation
variant)
o Whether the individual costing items are assigned to cost elements
In Easy Cost Planning, the costing variant determines the following:
o The purpose of the cost estimate (costing type)
o The prices that are selected to valuate the costing items (valuation
variant)
o For internal orders, work breakdown structure (WBS) elements, and ad
hoc cost estimates, the dates that apply to the cost estimate (date
control). For WBS elements, the dates can be overridden by the dates
of the WBS element.
