Hi,

Have you created a costing variant 1st in OKKT?

If you had created, you can see the same on that screen along with PS01 and PS06. I am able to see it.

We need costing variant for Network activities. So it is created in OPL1 not OKKT. It seems OKKT is for Unit costing.

How to assign valuation variant?

You can create Valuation variant in OPL1 itself, goto OPL1 select your costng variant(if it is already created, or else click new entries), then under control tab you will see costing type and valuation variant button, next to variant variant button you will see a create button, click that button it will take you to a screen, where you can create valuation variant. Or else, you can create valuation variant in OKY8 directly, then in OPL1 you can select this valuation variant in a drop down list .

Costing Variants can be created for Unit Costing, ECP & Automatic costing for Networks.

For Unit Costing & ECP, We use OKKT.

For Network costing, We use OPL1.

In OPLI the valuation varinat drop down is in display mode. Not in change mode for selection thou the costing variant transaction is in change mode. Why so?

We selected the creation button next to valuation variant tab in costing variant and created a new valuation variant. But it is nt getting assigned to costing variant. Just getting created.

Hi JJ,

Please refer the thread below,

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_45b/helpdata/EN/2d/f22c7dd435d1118b3f0060b03ca329/frameset.htm

Valuation Variant is a Key that controls which prices the system selects to valuate the

quantity structure of a material cost estimate or order, or to valuate the costing items of a unit cost estimate.

The valuation variant controls how the materials and activities in the

cost estimate are valuated. The valuation variant specifies the

following parameters:

o Which price in the material master (such as the standard price) or in the purchasing info record (such as the net order price) is used to cost a material in the BOM

o Which planned or actual price is used to valuate the internal activities

o Which version in Cost Center Accounting is used to valuate internal activities

o Which costing sheet is used to calculate overhead

o Whether and to what extent a BOM item or an operation in the routing is relevant to costing

The different valuation strategies for materials, internal activities,

external activities, and subcontracting are stored as trategy

sequences.

A global valuation variant is valid for all plants. A local valuation

variant is valid only for a specific plant. You define valuation

variants in Customizing for Product Cost Controlling.

Hope it helps.

Best Regards,

Gokul
