Lesson: Controlling Master Data
Exercise 2: Controlling Integration
Exercise Objectives
After completing this exercise, you will be able to:
• Maintain the necessary Controlling master data for repetitive manufacturing.
• Create a material cost estimate to determine the costs of goods manufactured for a material.
Business Example
The plant manager has decided to set up another production line for final assembly of the PCs. The work scheduler has maintained the necessary Logistics master data. As the costs are to be collected per material and production version, you have to create a new product cost collector for the new production version of the PC. You also have to create a material cost estimate to calculate the cost of goods manufactured. You then use the cost of goods calculated as the valuation price in the material master record for the PC. When you have late warehouse receipt postings, the stock is then valuated with this valuation price.
Hint: The PC in this example is not a configurable product. The procedure for valuating configurable materials is covered in the unit on backflushing.
Task 1:
Create a version-specific product cost collector for the new production version of the PC (material T-F10##). Use collective entry to do this.
1. Menu path: Logistics → Production → Repetitive Manufacturing → Master Data → Product Cost Collector → Collective Entry
Field name or data type Value
Plant 1200
Material T-F10##
Order type RM01
Execute the report.
Hint: With the collective entry of product cost collectors, the system generally creates version-specific product cost collectors.
Choose the Information message button: What happens?

____________________________________________________________
Hint: A (version-specific) product cost collector exists for both production versions 0001 and 0002, which describe production on lines that are already productive.
Exit the information messages by choosing the Back button several times.
Task 2:
Here, you use a material cost estimate to calculate the cost of goods manufactured for the PC with material number T-F10## (this usually occurs periodically, for example, once a month). The cost of goods manufactured should be transferred as the valuation price to the material master record for the PC. The cost of goods manufactured is the total of the component material costs, production activities, and overhead.
1. Create a material cost estimate for end product T-F10##:
Menu path: Logistics → Production → Product Cost Planning → Material Costing → Cost Estimate with Quantity Structure → Create
Field name or data type Value
Material T-F10##
Plant 1200
Costing variant PPC1
Costing version 1
Costing lot size 1
Confirm once by choosing Enter.
On the Dates tab page, choose:
Field name or data type Value
Costing date from Enter today’s date
Costing date to 31 December of this year
Choose Enter to confirm.
What is the cost of goods manufactured for material T-F10## according to the material cost estimate?
______________________________________________________
Save the material cost estimate.
Confirm the following dialog box and exit the transaction.
2. Access the material master to see at what price material T-F10## is currently valuated:
Menu path: Logistics → Production → Master Data → Material Master → Material → Display → Display Current
Field name or data type Value
Material T-F10##
Choose Enter to confirm.
In the following dialog box, choose the Costing 2 view.
Choose Enter and make the following entry:
Plant: 1200
Choose Enter to confirm.
What is the standard price (Standard Price field)?
______________________________________________________
Exit the material master again.
3. Make a note of the cost estimate for the current period:
Menu path: Logistics → Production → Product Cost Planning → Material Costing → Price Update
Field name or data type Value
Posting period/fiscal year Enter current month, current year
Company code 1000
Plant 1200
Material T-F10##
Reset the selection for the Test Run indicator (deselect)!
Hint: Before you can carry out a marking, the trainer must first allow marking for company code 1000 and the costing variant PPC1 using the Marking allowance key.
Execute the report.
Continued on next page
This updates the cost of goods manufactured for the material, as determined in the above material cost estimate, and sets it as the future price in the material master (Costing view, Future planned price field).
Choose Back.
4. Now release the material cost estimate:
Menu path: Logistics → Production → Product Cost Planning → Material Costing → Price Update
Choose Release.
Field name or data type Value
Posting period/fiscal year Enter current month, current year
Company code 1000
Plant 1200
Material T-F10##
Reset the selection for the Test Run indicator (deselect)!
Execute the report.
This updates the cost of goods manufactured for the material, as determined in the above material cost estimate, and sets it as the current standard price in the material master (Costing view, Standard Price field). An inventory revaluation takes place.
5. Now that you have released the material cost estimate, check in the material master to see at which price material T-F10## is valuated. To do this, access the Costing 2 view in the material master as before. What is the standard price now (Standard Price field)?
______________________________________________________
6. Repeat the price update (marking and releasing) for material T-B10## (so that you can backflush successfully in the course unit on backflushing).
Solution 2: Controlling Integration
Task 1:
Create a version-specific product cost collector for the new production version of the PC (material T-F10##). Use collective entry to do this.
1. Menu path: Logistics → Production → Repetitive Manufacturing → Master Data → Product Cost Collector → Collective Entry
Field name or data type Value
Plant 1200
Material T-F10##
Order type RM01
Execute the report.
Hint: With the collective entry of product cost collectors, the system generally creates version-specific product cost collectors.
Choose the Information message button: What happens?

Test Your Knowledge
1. Repetitive manufacturers generally group the work centers of a production line into the "production line" and only monitor this line during planning and production.
Determine whether this statement is true or false.
□ True
□ False
2. Preliminary costing is always required in repetitive manufacturing.
Determine whether this statement is true or false.
□ True
□ False
Answers
1. Repetitive manufacturers generally group the work centers of a production line into the "production line" and only monitor this line during planning and production.
Answer: True
Exceptions occur only in the case of takt-based production or if individual bottleneck work centers need to be replanned (evenly distributed) within production lines.
2. Preliminary costing is always required in repetitive manufacturing.
Answer: False
Preliminary costing is only necessary if you are working with a version-specific cost collector and the production costs that need to be entered separately at backflush vary significantly.
