Actual costing of manufactured products
Infocost provides specialized services for the computation of actual costs for manufactured items in SAP. Our proficiency in SAP Costing and SAP Finance ensures detailed and accurate financial reporting.
To get the actual costing of our manufactured product normally we struggle a lot and even after all the hard work the actual cost is neither explainable nor acceptable by the Finance and Production team. Hence it is very important to get the true actual cost which would be acceptable by Finance and Production team to take necessary actions.
1. The calculation of actual cost in SAP System would be done as per the bookings in the production orders and balances in the GL Accounts (both quantity and value)
2. The Production levels would be used for the purpose of rolling up of the cost from one level to other levels for the actual cost computations.
3. GL level material cost and fixed cost would be taken into considerations to calculate the total actual cost – It makes the finance team answerable
4. Production quantity and consumption quantity in actuals would be taken into consideration to calculate the acutal cost: – It makes the production team answerable
5. Finally the actual cost would be compared with the standard cost to get the per unit difference and get the analysis for the same.
We have the readymade solutions for getting the actual cost as explained above. it is a plug and play solutions and can be implemented at any SAP System in a quick time and with a reasonable cost.
