#CoE#GDTD Is there a method for batch sales order cost accounting for VC materials

[chenzc]

Our sales representatives use VC materials to create sales orders, and we need to create costing for each VC material. If there are many VC materials in this sales order, costing for each one will waste a lot of time. Is there a way to batch cost accounting or automatic costing.

Hello,

Yes, there is a way to manage costing for multiple materials efficiently in SAP systems. You can make use of Mass Costing - Sales Documents Inventory Accounting - Make-to-Order (MTO) Sales Order Costing functionality which allows for the batch processing of sales order costing. This way, costing can be performed for multiple materials at once, streamlining the process and saving time.

Steps for Mass Costing:

1. Create Sales Orders: This is done using the Create Sales Orders app.
2. Costing Data: During or after creation, you can choose ‘Menu -> Extras -> Costing’ to start costing.
3. Batch Processing: Enable batch processing by using relevant mass costing or scheduling apps.
4. Save Costing Results: Choose to mark your costing data during creation or later through the Change Sales Documents app.

Benefits:

• Time Efficiency: Batch processing reduces the manual overhead and time taken to cost each individual material.
• Consistency: Ensure consistent application of costing variants and valuation during the costing process.

Important Notes:

• Make sure that all materials linked to requirement classes such as S46, S45, S40, S60, are used.
• The costing variant PPC4 will be used by default and cannot be changed during order creation.
