Cost Sales Orders - Multi
Application component: Product Cost Planning
App type: SAP GUI
Description:   If you have sales documents with large numbers of items, performance considerations may make it inadvisable to automatically cost the documents when you create them. However, if you need cost information on the sales order items, for example because you have a valuated sales order stock , you can use the mass costing function to cost the items later (as a background job during the night, for example).  You can use this function to mark the cost estimates without errors at the same time.  Note You cannot use this function to mark cost estimates that already exist. 
Key features:   The items to be costed are selected. Selection criteria such as the following are available:  Sales document and item  Requirements type Created on and Changed on  Sales document type Sales organization Distribution channel Division Item category Material Plant Status profile and user status  Document items with status Cost Document items with status Cstd Document items with costing status KF  If you want to use additional selection criteria, you must do the selection yourself using the BAdI COPC_CK_MCSO. For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Cost Object Controlling under Product Cost by Sales Order   Control of Sales-Order-Related Production/Product Cost by Sales Order    BAdI: Selection for Mass Costing of Sales Documents and in the BAdI Builder in the documentation for method CK_MCSO_SELECTION of the BAdI.  Items that cannot be costed because one or more prerequisites (see above) are not met or because you have not set the required indicators under Processing Options are not selected.  After the items have been selected, they are costed. You can also cost items for which a cost estimate without errors (costing status KA) or a marked cost estimate (costing status VO) already exists. In this case you must select the indicator Recost Items with Costing Status KA or Recost Items with Costing Status VO . You can only recost items with a marked cost estimate if the cost estimate has not been used to valuate the sales order stock and it is possible to overwrite marked cost estimates. If you want to recost items with a marked cost estimate, message CK 635 must not be defined as an error message. For more information, see the IMG of Cost Object Controlling under Product Cost by Sales Order   Preliminary Costing and Order BOM Costing   User-Defined Error Management   Specify User-Defined Message Types for Sales Order Costing and Order BOM Costing .  A log is created and saved. A message is issued for each item. For costed items, you can display the cost estimate .  If you run a selection test , the log contains only messages on items that were not selected because they could not be costed. This log is not saved.  For most messages it is possible to control whether they appear in the log. For more information, see the IMG for Cost Object Controlling under Product Cost by Sales Order   Control of Sales-Order-Related Production/Product Cost by Sales Order   User-Defined Error Management for Mass Costing of Sales Documents . If you redefine error messages as information messages or warning messages, the affected items will still not be selected or costed.
