Production order cost estimate

Question

Hello,
what is prodcution order cost estimate.

Answer 1

SR,
Production order cost estimate is the estimate of all the costs likey to be incurred on the completion of the production oreder.
Following is the way described how tp do this in SAP.
Creating a Cost Estimate for a Production Order Without Quantity Structure
Choose Accounting-> Controlling->Cost Object Controlling->Product Cost by Period->Planning->CO Production Order->Create/change plan.
Enter the order and choose ENTER.
The dialog box Copy cost estimate appears. The system proposes a costing variant through the planning profile. Choose a costing variant.
If you want to copy costing items using the reference and simulation costing functions, enter either a base planning object or the material and control parameters for a cost estimate without quantity structure.
Enter the lot size that you want to use for costing, and choose ENTER.
The system displays the list screen of the cost estimate without quantity structure.
Enter the costing items.
Save the cost estimate.
If you have entered a costing sheet and (if applicable) an overhead key in the master record of the production order, the system calculates the overhead and assigns it to costing items of item category G. You cannot plan the costs for a production order using a cost estimate without quantity structure if the production order is linked to a run schedule header.
Hope this helps you.
