About This Guide
The SAP Product Costing module is a good example of the integrated nature of the R/3 System. Information is extracted from many modules including:
-Financial (FI) -Controlling (CO) -Material Master (MM) -Production Planning (PP) -Sales and Distribution (SD) -Project System (PS)
It is precisely these integration aspects that combine to create a highly functional, albeit complex, tool. The most common issue arising from product costing is the lack of knowledge of these integration steps. Typically, SAP Consultants focus on specific modules and may not be aware of how their decisions impact the other modules. It is the cross-modular aspect of product costing that this guide addresses. This guidebook is applicable from Release 3.1 onwards, except from chapter 4 the make-to-order strategy with valuated stock- which is available in Release 4.0.
Based on our experience and feedback from internal and external consultants and customers, each chapter is a "typical" scenario for various manufacturing environments. These scenarios are purely examples of how one could use the R/3 functionality; there is no "right" or "wrong" way. However, the scenarios could be described as good business practices, offering sufficient functions without being too cumbersome to maintain and operate on a daily basis.
Who Is This Guide For? This guide is for the following people who are impacted by product costing decisions in an implementation project...
-Consultants and business analysts inexperienced with the R/3 System -Consultants experienced with the R/3 System -Customer personnel from the Manufacturing and Finance departments -- SAP Labs, Inc. R/3 Simplification Group
