| # End Item Unit Costs (ticst0510m000) Use this session to display the calculated value of the estimated and actual end item unit costs. The estimated and actual costs are calculated for the end item of a production order. This session has two views: Work center based costs: displays the costs by work center. The costs are displayed by detailed cost component. Item based costs: displays the costs by end item (that is, production order). The costs are aggregated on the effective cost component structure. In the appropriate menu, you can toggle currencies, if you are operating a multicurrency system. Note You can only display the actual end item unit-costs if the production order is closed. If the Financial Transactions by Work Center check box is selected in the Production Orders (tisfc0501m000) details session, the work in process for the production order is recorded by work center. Related topics Aggregated cost components Detailed cost component Production order status Order planning and order calculation Calculate estimated end item unit-costs of a production order Production order calculation topics Production Order An order to produce a specified quantity of an item on a specified delivery date. Production Order The status assigned to a production order, which indicates how far a production order has been processed. For example, Planned, Documents Printed, or Released. Allowed values Order Status Item The item that is produced by the production order. Cost View The way in which the end item unit costs are viewed. Work Center The work center to which the costs are linked. Customer Owned If this check box is selected, part of the materials used by the work center to which the costs are linked are customer furnished material. Calc Date The date on which the calculation of the estimated end unit-costs was carried out for the last time. The entered date is stored in this field if the calculation date entered in the Calculate Estimated End Item Unit Costs (ticst0210m000) session differs from the current date. This date is only filled if the result of the calculation is stored in the End Item Unit Costs (ticst0510m000) session. This date is used for determining the effective date of the cost prices of materials. Estimated Costs Frozen If this check box is selected, the estimated order costs are frozen. Related topics Freeze estimated order-costs Financial Transactions by Work Center If this check box is selected, you can view the production results by work center. The material costs and the hours costs are posted to the work center to which these costs apply. If this check box is cleared, you can view the production results by production order. The surcharges, as well as the material costs and the hours costs, are posted to the production order's calculation office. Note The calculation office currency is also used for unlinked materials, that is, if a production order has no operations and no work centers, but only materials. Currencies When you calculate the estimated costs, and a Dependent currency system is used, the Financial Transactions by Work Center check box also determines the currency that is used: If the check box is selected (production results by work center), the local currency of the costing work center for which the costs are calculated is used. If the check box is cleared (production results by production order), the currency of the calculation office is used. Estimated end item unit costs The calculation of the estimated end item unit costs depends on the Financial Transactions by Work Center check box and the cost view, that is, whether the costs are work-center-based or item-based:

1: The total end item unit costs are posted for each work center by detailed cost component. The only work center available is the calculation office. The costs are expressed in the calculation office's currency. 2: The total end item unit costs are posted for the calculation office by the item's effective cost component structure. The costs are expressed in the calculation office's currency. 3: The total end item unit costs are posted for a costing work center or a calculation office by detailed cost component. The costs on a work center include operation costs and material costs. The costs on the calculation office include (added) end item surcharges and the costs for unlinked materials. The costs are expressed in the local currency of the costing work center. 4: The total end item unit costs are posted for the calculation office by the item's effective cost component structure. The costs are expressed in the calculation office's currency. Note You can view the end item unit costs, work center-based as well as item-based, in the End Item Unit Costs (ticst0510m000) session. WIP transfers If the Financial Transactions by Work Center check box is cleared, WIP transfers are not calculated. Because the production results are viewed by production order, the costs are posted on the production order's calculation office, and no costs are posted on the work centers. Consequently, there is no need to calculate WIP transfers between different work centers. Calculating efficiency/price variances If a production order is closed, the Financial Transactions by Work Center check box determines on which level efficiency variances and price variances are calculated. The posting, however, depends on the posting methods that are defined in the following fields: Posting Method Efficiency Variances Posting Method Price Variances Posting Method Efficiency Variances Posting Method Price Variances Performance aspects The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth.

Cost components have the following functions: To break down an item's cost price, sales price, or valuation price. To create a comparison between the estimated production order costs and the actual production order costs. To calculate production variances. To view the distribution of your costs over the various cost components in the Cost Accounting module. Cost components can be of the following cost types: Material Costs Operation Costs Surcharge on Material Costs Surcharge on Operation Costs WIP Transfer Costs General Costs Note If you use Assembly Control (ASC), you cannot use cost components of the General Costs type. Added Costs If this check box is selected, costs are added during production. Related topics Added costs Cost Type Categories that are used to register the type of costs. Cost types enable you to have a more detailed view of the source of costs. Allowed values Possible cost types Currency The currency in which the costs are expressed. Estimated Number of Units The calculated estimated number of units. These numbers are estimated for the production order in the Material to Issue for Production Orders (ticst0101m100) session and the Estimated vs. Actual Hours Costs (ticst0502m000) session.
