For controlling purposes, companies need to know about the exact costs of service orders.
Service orders can consist of several service items that are executed by different executing service employees that have varying hourly rates. Therefore, it may be necessary to make the cost of a service item dependent on the service cost level assigned to the executing service employee.
Examples for service cost levels:
· Senior consultant - 50 USD/hour
· Consultant - 45 USD/hour
· Associate consultant - 40 USD/hour
The costs of a service item are determined when the respective service confirmation is set to completed. An SAP S/4HANA timesheet (CATs) is created for the different executing service employee and cost postings are made for the working hours that have been recorded. You can check these costs in the Service Orders - Actuals app.
In the following, you will learn how to setup a scenario as described above:
1. Creating a service cost level:
2. Creating a cost rate for a service cost level
