Auxiliary Cost Component Structure with Primary Cost Component Split (Material Cost+ Processing Cost) in Product Cost Estimate- Part 1

Introduction
Primary Cost component split for (Material + Activity (processing) Cost)
First I would like to add the feature of Material cost component split as “Raw Material Costing” for no BOMs or routings for raw materials in the system. You can, however,
The primary cost component split is an alternative way of showing the cost of goods manufactured of a product. This cost component split assigns the primary cost elements for the cost center or process to the cost components, which enables you to see the composition of the price for the activity type or the costs for the process.
The primary costs from Overhead Cost Controlling can either be transferred directly into the primary cost component split of the product or assigned to other cost components. In this way, you can explode the costs for specific internal activities partly by their primary costs, and combine them partly as secondary costs.

Main Cost Component Structure
In Auxiliary cost component structure you can differentiate the “Cost component in detail w.r.f to Main CCS” whereas I took the example of Freight Cost component as created in first slight “Origin Groups”
Note: Ensure that do not assign any 43 category cost elements in the above step. Assign only all primary cost elements.
Assign the Material Consumption GL Accounts to cost components additionally with “Origin Groups” this enables to display the Raw Material Cost + Delivery (Freight) component in Auxiliary CCS.

Transfer Structure
Controls the transfer of costs from the cost components of one cost component structure into the cost components of another cost component structure.
The transfer structure determines how the costs of the sending cost component split (such as the primary cost component split of an internal activity) are transferred to the receiving cost component split.
Through the transfer structure, a single cost component of the receiving cost component split can be assigned to every cost component of the sending cost component split.
If the cost component structure of the primary cost component split for the cost center activity prices is not the same as the cost component structure of the primary cost component split for the products, you can use the transfer structure to specify how the cost component split of an internal activity or process for a material cost estimate is transferred into the cost component splits of the material costed.
In contrast to the switching structure in Cost Center Accounting, which reassigns cost components within a single cost component structure, the transfer structure assigns cost components between two different cost component structures.

Introduction
Primary Cost component split for (Material + Activity (processing) Cost)
First I would like to add the feature of Material cost component split as “Raw Material Costing” for no BOMs or routings for raw materials in the system. You can, however,
- Use these functions to create a cost estimate for raw materials enables you to include delivery costs.
- Access the purchasing data (MM_PUR), in order to include delivery costs such as freight charges and insurance costs
- Transfer structure for the “Primary cost component split” to Main Cost component
- Splitting the Main CCS to Aux CCS (Material Cost = Material Cost + Delivery Cost), Main activities cost in to various components with Primary Cost component split.
The primary cost component split is an alternative way of showing the cost of goods manufactured of a product. This cost component split assigns the primary cost elements for the cost center or process to the cost components, which enables you to see the composition of the price for the activity type or the costs for the process.
The primary costs from Overhead Cost Controlling can either be transferred directly into the primary cost component split of the product or assigned to other cost components. In this way, you can explode the costs for specific internal activities partly by their primary costs, and combine them partly as secondary costs.
Benefits/Features of Cost Component Split – Auxiliary CCS
- This can exist in addition to the main cost component split, and is not used in the standard cost estimate. It can be used for analysis purposes, in that it can be displayed with the cost estimate and passed on to Profitability Analysis.
- Synchronizing the Main Cost Component structure components like, Material Cost + Activities in various levels for better analysis and reporting purpose.
- This CCS analysis can explore in Material Ledger price analysis with different Cost Component structures
- Actual values will flow to COPA to the respective values fields’ mapped w.r.f to Auxiliary CCS.
