Hello Everyone,
Afresh to CO module and have a question on the 'Do Not Cost' indicator on material master data and it's effect on material costing.
I have a raw material that has this indicator marked and the OBYC configuration has GBB - VBR mapped to, say, cost element 123.
Now, when I run CK11N for the finished product (the BOM has the raw material), I get the error message that the cost element 123 is not assigned to a cost component.
I understand this error can be resolved by OKTZ configuration with the 123 cost element and origin group from the material master data.
However, my question is, what is the purpose of 'Do Not Cost' indicator in the material master data and what role does it play in costing of a FG of which the RM is a component ?
I have read the SCN threads on this topic (a lot I would say) but didn't really understand what it means by "If the material is included in another cost estimate as a component to be valuated, the valuation price is determined through the valuation variant if no cost estimate with the same key exists for the material."
So summarizing, my question is "for the costing of a FG with a RM having Do not cost, is OKTZ configuration really required ?"
