New Topic Added as Complementary: SAP S/4 HANA CONTROLLING: "UNIVERSAL PARALLEL ACCOUNTING" - New Financial Architecture

The Product Costing module allows organizations to determine the production costs of products. This is integral for controlling and for assessing profitability. Material Ledger enables actual costing and supports multiple valuations in parallel.

Product Costing Techniques:

Product costing by order (Make to Stock): Costs are determined based on manufacturing orders. It's suitable for non-repetitive production.
Product costing by Sales order (Make to Order): Costing is done for specific sales orders. Typically used for customized products.
Product costing with Sales order controlling vaulted stock with sale order controlling: When both anticipated stock and actual sales order-driven stock exist.
Product costing with sales order controlling non-vaulted stock with sale order controlling: For products produced directly against sales orders without anticipation.
Product costing by period: Periodic costing for products irrespective of orders.
Repetitive manufacturing without reporting points consideration: Costs for products that are manufactured repetitively and without specific checkpoints.
Repetitive manufacturing with reporting points (work in process) consideration: Costs are captured at different stages or checkpoints of the production process.
Joint Production Process: Multiple main products are derived from one production order.
CO-Product costing process and By Product Costing Process: Co-products are main products with similar value, whereas by-products have minor value compared to the main product.
Mixed Costing process- Split Valuation: When a material can be procured/manufactured in more than one way.
Sub-Contracting, External Operations Product costing process: Costs when a part of the manufacturing process is subcontracted to external suppliers.
Cross plants –Special Procurement product costing: Costs are determined when procuring from a different plant within the same company.
Additives cost estimation: The costs of additive materials in the manufacturing process.
