Unit costing create/display

[Former Member]

is unit costing based on WBS or network? in PS, can we use cj40 to create unit cost estimate for the project, then how to display unit cost estimate result?

Dear Robin,

UC Method is only to plan the project cost estimates. There is no such standard report to get the detailed plan report in terms of material, resources and Miscellaneous (tru Arithmatic calculations) except cost element report ( that to interms of cost only).

As you said, you can only get the Overall Planned total in Hierarchical report (i.e like S_ALR_87013532 - Plan/Actual/Variance ) including arithmatic calculations. but If you check in Cost element report ( i.e like S_ALR_87013542 - Actual/Commitment/Total/Plan in CO Area Currency ) you can get all planned cost that is planned against specific cost element, since it is a cost elements based report only.) If you want the planned cost tru arithmatic calculations also, you need to specify a cost element against that line item either in BPO or at WBS level.

Hope this will help you some extent.

Appreciated for giving points.

By tcode CJ40 you book the cost annually or overall And to display actual cost for a particular wbs u use the report S_ALR_87013532 - Plan/Actual/Variance
