Add item only for costing in production BOM

[MySAPuser200292]

Hi 

We have a process order BOM where we add a tiny amount of liquid created in house by another department that does not use SAP. So we don't want the liquid in the BOM to create a purchase requisition or production order. We just need the value of the liquid to be added to the process order's cost. 

How is this possible? I have tried creating the material as a type NLAG, added it to BOM as type N - non-stock item. But then the process order just seems to ignore it. I cant see it in the costing analysis.

Hi @MySAPuser200292 

Instead of using item type N (non-stock), try using T (text item) in the BOM. Assign a cost manually via the process order.

Hi @Yogeshwar_M I can add the text item to the BOM, but how do you assign the cost?

Hi @MySAPuser200292 ,

To assign a cost to a text item in the BOM:

Add Text Item to BOM: Use item category T (Text) in CS02 and enter a description (e.g., "In-house Liquid").

Assign Cost: In the BOM Costing tab, input a manual price for the text item.

Costing Variant Settings: Ensure the costing variant includes text items.

Run Cost Estimate: Use CK11N or check the process order cost analysis to confirm the liquid's value is included.

After creating the process order, check the cost analysis in the order via CO03 or KKS1 to confirm the liquid's cost is included.
