Product Costing Techniques:

SAP CO Product Costing is a cornerstone for organizations to assess their product costs accurately and make informed business decisions. Here's an overview of various product costing scenarios:

1. Product costing by order (Make to Stock): Determine costs based on manufacturing orders, suitable for non-repetitive production. 🛠️
2. Product costing by Sales order (Make to Order): Costing for specific sales orders, ideal for customized products. 📝
3. Product costing with Sales order controlling - Vaulted stock with sale order controlling: When both anticipated stock and actual sales order-driven stock exist. 🧾
4. Product costing with Sales order controlling - Non-vaulted stock with sale order controlling: For products produced directly against sales orders without anticipation. 🏗️
5. Product costing by period: Periodic costing for products, regardless of orders. 🕰️
6. Repetitive manufacturing without reporting points consideration: For products manufactured repeatedly and without specific checkpoints. 🔄
7. Repetitive manufacturing with reporting points (work in process) consideration: Capturing costs at different production stages or checkpoints. 📈
8. Joint Production Process: When a production order yields multiple main products. ⚙️
9. CO-Product costing process and By Product Costing Process: Accounting for co-products (main products with similar value) and by-products (minor value compared to the main product). 🌱
10. Mixed Costing process - Split Valuation: When a material can be procured or manufactured in more than one way, affecting cost distribution. 🤔
11. Sub-Contracting, External Operations Product costing process: Handling costs when part of the manufacturing process is outsourced to external suppliers. 🤝
12. Cross plants –Special Procurement product costing: Determining costs when procuring from a different plant within the same company. 🌐
13. Additives cost estimation: Estimating the costs of additive materials in the manufacturing process. 🔬

SAP CO S/4HANA 2021 - Material Ledger:

Material Ledger is a pivotal module for actual costing and supporting multiple valuations in parallel within S/4HANA. Here's what you'll cover:

1. Physical Inventory count integrated with Material Ledger/Actual Costing: Valuing actual stock as per physical count, ensuring accuracy in inventory levels. 📊
2. Distribution Usage variances: Analyzing the differences between planned and actual usage of materials and activity types in production. 🎯
3. Activity Types: Defining quantitative measures for services provided by a cost center, and making adjustments to account for variances between planned and actual activities. ⏰
4. Material Ledger- Actual Costing Execution and CKM3: Utilizing the CKM3 transaction for a detailed analysis of material prices, showing their evolution over time. 💼
