SAP Note 647496 - WIP calculation for FAUF with periodic settlement

Component : Cost Object Controlling - Product Cost by Order

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/647496 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
This SAP Note deals with the anomaly where WIP and scrap determination occurs for a production order despite the absence of planned costs due to unfinished preliminary costing. The issue arises because the system uses a dynamic transaction-based cost itemization for target cost calculations. Although preliminary costing doesn't save an itemization, the system generates one during WIP determination and scrap variance calculation. Planned costs are dynamically associated with quantity structures and standard cost estimate variants present in the production order data. Users need to ensure that quantity structures and cost estimates are correctly defined to avoid mismatches in calculated costs.

Key words :
transaction-based cost itemization, 'transaction-based' cost itemization, standard cost estimate, tables cosp/coss, periodic settlement rule, system dynamically determines, system determines wip, target cost calculation, missing preliminary costing, planned costs exist
