Different ways of creating a costing structure
Microsoft
Excel
SAP ERP
Manual
As many calculations are created in
Microsoft Excel, SAP Product
Lifecycle Costing is designed to import
any quantity structure to create a
calculation as a whole, or to update an
existing calculation at every level.
SAP Product Lifecycle Costing is integrated into the entire
SAP solution landscape. Therefore, existing document
structures, bills of materials, and related routings can
be imported from SAP ERP to create new calculations.
Of course, it is possible to create
a structure from scratch.
SAP Product Lifecycle Costing
simplifies that approach as well.

Different ways of determining item prices
Prices for all items can be
determined by using the
local master data.
SAP Product Lifecycle Costing can be
integrated into your SAP solution landscape.
Material and activity prices can be easily
determined by getting data from SAP ERP.
A user can also manually maintain
calculation-specific prices for each
item in the costing structure.

Price Determination Strategy
Highlights
Price Determination Access Sequence:
1. Maintain different Price Sources, such as estimated
price, ERP Price, Project Price, Vendor Price
2. Determine the price determination sequence
3. Associate a confidence level with it
The system is determining the price based on the price
determination strategy and applies the appropriate price
in the calculation

Custom fields allow you to tailor the data that is used
to fit your organization’s needs.
You can:
• Create custom fields on master data level
• Inclusion and local override on calculation
version item level
• Create custom fields for calculation versions on item
level allowing to
• Enter a manual value
• Get a value calculated by a formula
• Define if a value should be rolled up
• Define for which item categories the custom
field (and its formula) is to be available, and in
which group in the item details it should be
displayed
• Maximum of 150 custom fields

What our customers and partners are saying
“We recently decided to use SAP Product Lifecycle Costing to calculate and analyze new
products at our company in future. With the power of SAP Product Lifecycle Costing, we strive
to reduce development costs and improve product margins. With the SAP team supporting
us in a unique manner, their team spirit, and the continuous co-innovation with the team of
10 co-innovation customers, we have already made a huge step forward in learning from other
organizations.”
Phillip Feger, Program Manager PLC, Progress-Werk Oberkirch AG
“SAP Product Lifecycle Costing is a new application running on SAP HANA, which now
empowers our customers to really calculate their costs for new products in the new-product
development and introduction phase. We are closely working and co-innovating with SAP in this
area, and we are impressed about the solution capabilities so far. The uniqueness of the product
is the adaptability, UI, performance, and the integration into [SAP] ERP.”
