Inventory Turnover with Configurable Materials (i.e. KMATs)

Question

Dear Experts,
Has anyone developed inventory turnover reporting that involves configurable materials (i.e. KMATs)?
I have a situation where the client wants to report inventory turnover at the plant level. A plant issues both stocked goods and configurable materials (i.e. assemble to order) to customers. Unlike stocked goods, configurable materials do not carry standard cost and are costed during sales order settlement at month's end (i.e. material movements for KMATs are not valuated).
In order to determine Cost of Goods Sold (since Inventory Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold / Average Inventory), I suppose that Cost of Goods Sold would be equal to the sum of the issue value of stocked goods plus the issue value of configurable materials (i.e. ATOs).
SAP Business Content provides InfoCube 0IC_C03 for Material Movements (and likewise Inventory Turnover reporting). The delivered content supporting this InfoCube deals with valuated stock only (by looking at material movements). Valuation for KMATs cannot come from material movements (since the material movements of KMATs are non-valuated). Since the SAP Business Content scenario for Inventory Turnover does not provide an apparent mechanism for loading the cost of goods sold for configurable materials, I'm beginning to wonder if I have this all wrong.
Does it make sense that configurable materials would be included in inventory turnover calculations at the plant level? Even though the ATO itself is not stocked, the components are, and there is a cost associated with carrying those components (and also selling them as part of the ATO). Should I be looking at the cost of goods sold for the ATO or is there a way to valuate the cost of the components sold as part of the ATO simply by considering material movements for those components?
Any thoughts on this one? Did I even make any sense?
Thanks,
Jim

hi,
thanks indeed for the reply.
but here i have to enter characteristics details for every catalog number assoiciated with particular material. i tried this too but still getting the Item Gross Price as zero only. for other condition records too, getting this zero value.
do you have sample code for this?
is there any alternative for that? any other function module i can use?
