1 Purpose

This scope item enables actual costing for material inventory. Initially, all goods movements in a period are valuated based on standard price. All price and exchange rate differences for the
material are collected in the material ledger. Similarly, all confirmations are valuated based on a standard activity rate.
At the end of the period, an actual price (called the periodic unit price) is calculated for each material based on actual costs within the period and an actual activity rate is calculated based on the
actual costs for the cost center.
This calculated actual price can then be used to revalue inventory at period end. After you enter the activity actual rate manually, the actual activity price calculation supports revaluation of COGS
and WIP.
For actual costing, to calculate the periodic unit price for your materials, you need to activate actual costing in addition to material ledger. You also need to choose single-level/multilevel price
determination for your materials and use price control standard price for all materials you want to use in actual costing.
This document provides a detailed procedure for testing this scope item after solution activation, reflecting the predefined scope of the solution. Each process step, report, or item is covered in its
own section, providing the system interactions (test steps) in a table view. Steps that are not in scope of the process but are needed for testing are marked accordingly. Project-specific steps must
be added.
Values in this test script (decimal notation, date formats, and so on) are presented in U.S. standard notation. If your test system is set up to use a different notation, enter values as appropriate.

2.5.3 Define/Update Splitting Structure

Context

Splitting structure is used to split costs (belonging to cost centers) based on method activity types 12-Activity quantity, 22-Activity Quantity Planning and 0-No splitting. The assignments from YA1
to YA7 use rule YA1 with method 12, while the assignment YA8 uses rule YA2 with method 0. Each splitting rule is based on a splitting method. In Cloud, the splitting method used is 12-Activity
quantity. The splitting method indicates the way in which the costs are to be split.
You need to make sure that all the activity types relevant for actual rate calculation must be assigned to one of the activity type hierarchy under YBGH_P00. We predeliver empty nodes YBGHP1 to
YBGHP8 with cost element groups YBMF_P01 to YBMF_P08. You can calculate different rates, for example, Labor and Machine by assigning the respective activity and related GLs to different
predelivered groups. The predelivered splitting structure is as shown in the following table and you can see that the groups are empty. You can use the Manage Cost Element Groups app and
Manage Global Hierarchies apps to add your G/L and activity type respectively per your business requirements.

2. Change Activity type master for the Act. price indicator field is set to 5 via the Manage Activity Types app so that the actual rate can be calculated automatically based on activity. This has to be
done for the actual rate calculation to work.
Note We recommend that if some country/region has activated actual costing and others have not, you should use different activity type for with and without actual costing. Only actual costing
relevant activity type must be added to YBGHP2 through YBGHP8. Once this is done, you can use the Actual Cost Rate Calculation: Cost Center app to calculate the rates that will be used in actual
costing month-end process step. Alternatively, you can use the Manage Cost rate actual app if you want a manual rate update and do not want to use the Actual Cost Rate Calculation app. Make
sure the Activity type master for the Act. price indicator field is set to 7 via the Manage Activity Types app.

Purpose

As delivered in the scope item Event-Based Production Cost Posting (3F0), event-based WIP is posted together with event-based overhead at time of goods issue or confirmation and cleared at
goods receipt or technical completed. Event-based variance is calculated and posted when the order is final delivered or technical completed.
In addition, if scope item Actual Costing (33Q) is activated, WIP quantity document should be posted to actual costing to enable WIP revaluation in material ledger when activated. This is
implemented in product costing jobs by executing the WIP Quantity Posting for Actual Costing Revaluation template.
Note This step is only required if you use Event-Based Production Cost Posting (3F0) for event-based WIP and variance calculation with this scope item. If you are using Period-End Closing - Plant
(BEI) scope for periodic WIP and variance calculation, this step is not required as WIP Quantity is posted at period-end transaction via WIP calculation.
