What is a Product Cost Estimate?
Additive
You use additive costing to enable you to manually add costs that cannot
be calculated by the system to a material cost estimate.

Material Ledger: Overview
1. Actual Costing.
During the period, valuation of all goods movements is done
with the preliminary valuation price which is normally the
standard price. All variances from the preliminary valuation are
maintained in the ML. At period end, revaluation of ending
inventory can be performed with the determined actual price.
This is not mandatory. Actual prices can be calculated for
statistical purposes only.
2. Parallel currencies and/or valuations of material stocks.
All goods movements in the ledger can be maintained in 3
currencies. The values are translated into other currencies
using the historical exchange rates. Prerequisite for usage of
transfer pricing functionality.
