Use the MSR value in costing

By default, the calculated MSR value is not applied to the cost calculation. By using the costing scheme, the MSR value can be:

  • defined as part of a total line (e.g. production costs)
  • subject to additional surcharges itself (as part of a total line).

MSR value as part of a total line

  1. In Data Administration, switch to the category Basic data ► Costing scheme ► Surcharge rates.
  2. Navigate to the group which the MSR value should apply to.
  3. In this group, create the MSR value as a new surcharge rate with surcharge type "Definition" and as a surcharge on "Direct material surcharge costs".

    Hint

    1. Navigate to the hierarchically lowest group of type "Total line product" (e.g. prime costs)

  4. In this group, add a new group (if not already existing) named "Production costs". Set the group’s type to "Total line part".

  • In the "Production costs" group, create a new group (if not already existing) named "Material costs". Set the group’s type to "Definition".

  • In the "Production costs" group, create the surcharge rate named "Material surcharge rate" of surcharge type "Definition" on "Direct material surcharge costs".

    • The surcharges that apply to the MSR value will now be included in the production costs.

    MSR value with additional surcharges

    1. In Data Administration, navigate to the sub-category "Costing scheme" of "Basic data" category.
    2. If you have not yet created the MSR value as a surcharge rate, repeat steps 2 and 3 of the previous section "MSR value as part of a total line".

    3. Create a new surcharge rate in the "Costing scheme" category. Select "Percentage" as "Surcharge type" and define the "Surcharge on" as "Direct material surcharge costs".

      Example

      Create a surcharge named "Material surcharge rate percentage".

  • In Data Administration, navigate to the "Basic data types" sub-category under the "Basic data" category.
  • Create a new basic data entry.

  • Switch to the "Special" tab and assign a "Location" origin to the basis data type.

  • In the "Other Parameters" group, enter any values for the different calculation years. Double-click in the corresponding row to edit the percentages.

    Example

    1. Create a new basis data type named "Test basis data type" .

    2. In the "Special" tab, add a new link to the test location.

  • For the years 2013, 2014 and 2015, enter a percentage value for the basic data type "Material surcharge percentage".
