Work Instruction S_ALR_87099931 - JPN - Generate Price versus Cost Estimate
Purpose
The standard report Price versus Cost Estimate (S_ALR_87099931) is used to check the amount of the variance between a new cost estimate and the existing standard price, and thereby to see how releasing the cost estimate for all materials with price control S would affect the value of the total inventory. This report is typically executed before the standard price is updated with the cost estimate values calculated in a costing run.
Note that the price control is selected as standard price (S) to eliminate materials valuated at moving average price (V) as these are affected by standard cost estimate release.
In addition, you can define exceptions to emphasize critical variances, so that materials, with calculated variance or anticipated revaluation amount exceeding predefined threshold values, will be highlighted with traffic lights symbols.
Trigger Perform this transaction when you need to generate price versus Cost Estimate Report.

10. Click the Selections Chosen button .
11. Click the Costing Run 1 edit field .
12. As required, complete/review the following fields:
Field R/O/C
Description
Costing Run 1 R
Refers to the Costing Run 1 when specifying a comparison value. In Product Cost Planning, costing runs are used to cost materials based on planning data.
Example: MMKH6001
Name under which the costing run is carried out.
13. Click the Costing Run edit field .
14. As required, complete/review the following fields:
Field R/O/C
Description
Costing Run R
A tool that provides the opportunity to cost multiple materials at the same time. In Product Cost Planning, costing runs are used to cost materials based on planning data. This type of costing run is based on a user-defined name and a date. In Actual Costing/Material Ledger, costing runs are used to cost materials with actual data. This type of costing run is based on a costing run profile and a period.
Example: MK6001_2
15. Click the Costing Date edit field .
16. As required, complete/review the following fields:
Field R/O/C
Description
Costing Date R
Date from which a costing run is valid.
Example: 14.05.2008
This is the date from which a costing run is valid. This date has two uses:
as a default value for scheduling in the cost estimate as a criterion for reorganizing the costing runs
17. Click the Costing Date edit field .
18. As required, complete/review the following fields:
Field R/O/C
Description
Costing Date R
Date from which a costing run is valid.
Example: 10.06.2008
Alternatively, you may click on the possible entries icon beside the Costing Run field to choose from a list of existing costing runs in the system. When you select one costing run from the list, this will automatically copy the name of the costing run to the Costing Run field and its corresponding costing date to the Costing Date field.
19. Click the Plant edit field .
20. As required, complete/review the following fields:
Field R/O/C
Description
Plant R
A plant is an organizational unit for dividing an enterprise according to production, procurement, maintenance, and materials planning. It is a place where materials are produced, or goods and services are provided.
Example: 6001
This key uniquely identifies a plant in the system. A plant is a place where materials are produced, or goods and services are provided.
These fields work in connection with the Display Positive and Negative Variances indicator . If this checkbox is selected, all cost estimates that reach the given absolute threshold value(s) are flagged.
21. Click the Only Display Exceptions check box .
If this indicator is selected, only the cost estimates for which yellow and red traffic lights were set based on the defined exceptions are displayed.
Notice that the system defaults the Cost Component View field in the Output area to 1 Cost of GoodsManufactured. This field indicates which cost components are displayed and passed on to other areas of the SAP System. You may choose from the following existing views:
22. Click the Execute button .
Review the data displayed on the screen. Note: It is possible to manipulate the data displayed by selecting any one of the following icons:
- View details of a selected vendor account. This will require you to position your cursor on an item in the report before you click on the button. - Sort data in ascending order.

23. Click the Material 138747 line item button .
24. Click the Detailed Report: Cost Estimate button .
This screen is divided into three areas: Overview of the Cost Estimate (the top half of the right side of the screen)
Detailed Lists (bottom half of the right side of the screen), hide/show this
area using the buttons and respectively

buttons and respectively.
This screen area also contains tab pages which provide the following cost estimate data: Costs Contains the calculated costs.
The costs displayed are based on the costing lot size. However, you can also see the costs based on the price unit in the material master, or based on a figure you have already defined, by selecting a cost base from the list field. Note that if a cost base is changed, all costing items are adjusted proportionally, including those that contain fixed costs (such as setup costs).
The button displays the log containing the messages for the material. The button displays the itemization.
The button displays the cost component split.
The Partner button displays the partner cost component split with cost component groups. The button displays the costed multilevel BOM (displayed in the screen area costing structure).
