Product cost planning & cost object controlling

[Former Member]

Hi All

We are using KMAT material type for configurable materials.

Product cost planning:

My question is , Can we save cost estimate for the Kmat materials?

( I am assuming I dont have to run CK40N for these materails , As I am not going to have accounting tab for Kmat materails. and I do not know which materails and operations to use in super Bom and Super routing)

Please let me know If the above statement is true.

Cost object controlling:

Can i use cost obect controlling by production order or PCC?

*I am assuming I will be ale to use only cost object controlling by sales order....But I have nt worked on this previously...If I have to use cost object controlling by sales order , can you guys give me a link or steps that helps me in configuring Cost object controlling by sales order*

Hi Rau

Thanks for answering my question,

i want to make sure few things , For Kmat materials

Please comment on the following two points

->I cannot Mark product with standard price for one year Like we do for Fert

is this true?

-> and I cannot use cost object controlling by production order or by using product cost collector for Kmat materails

The only way to cost a Kmat materail type is cost object controlling by sales order- Is this True?
