Do not cost indicator in Material Master - Impact in CO-PA

[harnish_shah]

Hi,

I wanted to freeze the SFG cost while valuating FG & hence I activated "do not Cost" in SFG material master. Post that when I run cost estimate for FG & try to view the cost component break-up, system does not bifurcate material cost into Raw Material, Packing material etc. but shows under cost component group "SFG". As a result, even CO-PA cost component breakup shown total material cost as SFG. The same is not the case if SFG is not ticked as "Do not Cost" indicator. Meaning: CO-PA cost component breakup shows "Raw Material", "Packing Material" etc.

Can anybody throw some light on this?

Hi Harnish,

To meet your requirement "Do Not Cost" is not right solution. You have to use "Transfer Control" so SFG materials will not valuate when you try to release standard cost for FG
