Material Cost display on Order

Question

I have created a value category Z1 - Material and assigned a cost element. Then In the maintenance order I have selected a material in component tab. The material has same cost element that is assigned to value category Z1. But cost of material is still not appearing. Moving avarage price is appearing in the purchasing data. Which setting is still remaining?

Answer 1

Objective is to have planned and actual cost display of material and exrternal services on the maintenance order :-
I am writing the setting which I have done so far:
1. Define value categories Z1 and Z2. Z1= Material and Z2=External Services.
2. Assignment of cost element on value category. Z1= say '1234' and Z2= say '5678' these cost elements I have received from CO.
3. Material and services which I am selecting on the PM order have the same cost elements as assigned in cost elements.
4. Now define new cost variant ZPMO for PM orders.
5. Define new valuation variant 016.
6. In this valuation variant setting will be like this:
    a. Material tab - Strategy sequence should be like this, 1. value price according to price control in mat.
                                                                                2. MAV
                                                                                3. Standard price.
    b. Activity type- Strategy sequence should be like this,  1. Plan price for the period
       CO version plan/activity - 0
    c. External processing - net quotation price
7. Costing parameters are assigned to PM orders.
After these settings I am creating PM order. External Service's planned cost is displaying on the order but material cost is not displaying.
I have checked the CONTROL tab cost variant ZPMO is assigned there in Costing variant for planned costs
as well as actual cost. RA key(000001) is also displaying.
Still some setting is remaining. I think it may be something very basic. Can any body tell me about it ?
