Product Cost Planning: Configuration Guide

1 PurposeThis configuration guide provides the information you need to set up the configuration of this building block manually.

If you do not want to configure manually and prefer to use an automated installation process using various tools, refer to the Baseline Quick Guide BL_Quick_Guide_EN_US.doc available on the Documentation DVD under \\BBLibrary\Documentation.

Product Cost Planning calculates costs for materials without reference to a special production situation. The result of the calculation is the standard cost estimate. It is updated in the material master as the standard price. The standard price is used to valuate goods movements within the company.

2 Preparation

2.1 PrerequisitesIf you want to use this building block, you must first install the following building blocks:

Building Block # Description

B32 Settings for Best Practices Installation

J02 Organizational Structure

J03 External Accounting - Central FI

J08 Basic Cost Accounting

N74 Cost of Sales Accounting

J05 Materials Management

J04 Sales and Distribution

J30 Master Data

3 Configuration
