Material cost distribution on the operation

Former Member
0 Kudos

Dear all:

You assign a material component to a operation (10 units). This begins on 1/01/2013 and ends on 30/10/2013 (10 months) You assign a MRP distribution key (field Distribution, at General data tab) to split the whole quantity (10 units) over the duration of the operation. Material has item category 'L', so a reserve is created.

From a logistic point of view: You can check, at TX MD04 (Stock /Requirements list) that the requirement has been split. One unit each month. Accordingly, costs related to this operation should reflect this situation, one unit each month...

From cost point of view: All costs related to this material (10 units) are all assigned to the beginning of the operation ! (1/01/2013) This feauture does not meet the an ERP principle (logistics planning and cost planning go together) Logistics planning is OK, however cost planning is not.

Can any of you solve this issue?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Javier García-Marugá

You are right - I have found this as missing functionality in SAP - cannot distibute component costs !!
