Note
You can signi cantly improve the performance of the period-end closing
transactions by setting the status DLFL for manufacturing orders that meet all
of the following conditions:
Orders for which you do not anticipate any further follow-up costs
You can still withdraw the deletion ag after it has been set, for example if follow-
up costs are incurred for the order. Deletion indicators, however, cannot be
withdrawn.
Caution
If you update quantities and values separately in Materials Management
(MM), make sure that all quantity movements are valuated before you run the
period-end closing transactions.

Process
You can use the Schedule Manager (CA)
(/viewer/6fe2dad9dab7486fb4469d13552824f2/6.18.11/en-
US/82308e536e50ec23e10000000a174cb4.html) in the period-end closing
process of Product Cost by Order. The Schedule Manager simpli es the period-
end closing activities. In Product Cost by Order, you can use the Multilevel
Worklist (/viewer/6fe2dad9dab7486fb4469d13552824f2/6.18.11/en-
US/79572d535defe747e10000000a441470.html) of the Schedule Manager. The
multilevel worklist can signi cantly improve performance and facilitate error
correction.
Note
Each function in the period-end closing process is regarded as a
separate processing step. A group of processing steps that are
performed one after the other is called a processing step sequence.
Have the system go through the processing step sequence again (once you
have corrected the errors or set the processing statuses that control further
processing of the objects)
The system then only processes the objects that had errors and the objects
whose processing was forced manually.

The following functions are available in the period-end closing process in Product
Cost by Order:
1. Template allocation
The activity types performed at a cost center are initially valuated with the
planned activity price of the activity types. You can revaluate the activity
types on the basis of the actual costs charged to the cost center. The
difference between the planned activity prices and the actual activity prices
is then applied to the cost objects (such as the production orders).
3. Overhead calculation
5. WIP calculation
https://help.sap.com/viewer/6fe2dad9dab7486fb4469d13552824f2/6.18.11/en-US/4215435310cfd873e10000000a4450e5.html 4/10

You calculate the work in process for each manufacturing order that has a
valid results analysis key.
Caution
If you want to valuate WIP at target costs, make sure that the
routing of the manufacturing order is the same as the routing
used to valuate the work in process. If you change the routing and
then calculate WIP, the WIP calculation will be faulty.
Note
If you are using a valuated sales order stock, note the special
processing requirements in the calculation of WIP for the valuated
sales order stock. WIP calculation in this case is based on
Standard Price with Valuated Sales Order Stocks
(/viewer/6fe2dad9dab7486fb4469d13552824f2/6.18.11/en-
US/dbb51453e0023047e10000000a44538d.html), which differs
from make-to-stock production.
Once you settle, you can pass the work in process to Financial Accounting
(FI) and Pro t Center Accounting (CO-PCA).
6. Variance calculation
https://help.sap.com/viewer/6fe2dad9dab7486fb4469d13552824f2/6.18.11/en-US/4215435310cfd873e10000000a4450e5.html 5/10
10/17/2019 Period-End Closing in Product Cost by Order: Scenario - SAP Help Portal
You can calculate variances by cost element. The system assigns the
variances to variance categories (such as input quantity variances and
resource-usage variances). This provides you with information on why the
actual costs deviated from the planned costs and where you should take
corrective action. For a detailed explanation of the variances, use the
explanation facility of variance calculation.
The variances are updated to the manufacturing order. If you are using
Pro tability Analysis (CO-PA), you must calculate the variances in order to
settle the price differences to Pro tability Analysis. After settlement, you
then have the complete actual costs in Pro tability Analysis.
Here you calculate variances for each manufacturing order that has a valid
variance key.
There are two methods of variance calculation selected through the variance
key:
If you calculate the variances by period, you can assign the manufacturing
orders to cost object hierarchies.
When it calculates the variances, the system uses the planned costs for each
operation to valuate the scrap quantities con rmed for the operations. In
periodic variance calculation, the system accesses the standard cost
estimate for the material, the planned costs of the preliminary costing for
the order, or the alternative cost estimate for material according to the
valuation variant for WIP and scrap.
Caution

Make sure that the routing of the manufacturing order is the same as
the routing on which the calculation of scrap variances is based,
because the system cannot calculate the scrap if the routing is changed.
You can view the variances in the information system at any time. The report
category Summarized Analysis shows aggregated data, such as at plant
level or controlling area level.
When the system calculates the variances, it sets the status VCAL (variances
calculated). The system uses this status to select the orders for which
variances have been calculated.
7. Settlement
When you perform settlement at the end of the period, the system
checks whether the manufacturing orders to be settled have a results
analysis key. If work in process has been calculated with that results
analysis key, the system generates corresponding postings in
Financial Accounting (FI) and Pro t Center Accounting (EC-PCA).
Note
Even if the manufacturing order has the settlement rule FUL (full
settlement), the work in process is still settled by period.
The work in process is settled on the basis of posting rules that you
de ne in Customizing for Product Cost Controlling.

10/17/2019 Period-End Closing in Product Cost by Order: Scenario - SAP Help Portal
In the case of orders with full settlement, the total variance calculated
in variance calculation is equal to the balance of the order.
When you settle, the total variances calculated with target cost version
0 are normally transferred to Pro tability Analysis (CO-PA) broken
down into variance categories.
Note
The variances settled to CO-PA are normally broken down into
variance categories. However, you can also settle the order
balance less the work in process to CO-PA.
Note
If you have assigned the manufacturing orders to a sales order
and are using a nonvaluated sales order inventory, then at the

end of the period you settle all actual costs to the sales order
item. The calculation of work in process at the level of
manufacturing orders is unreliable with a nonvaluated sales order
inventory and individual requirements materials with multilevel
BOMs. The calculation of variances on the manufacturing order is
not supported in this case. Instead, you carry out results analysis
on the sales order item.
If you have assigned the manufacturing orders to a cost object hierarchy, you
perform the activities at the end of the period in the Product Cost by Period
component.
