Hello, 

Reaching out for your expert advice.

I have a shop order connected to a Project. The transactions are generated as in the table. At the cost bucket, the Inventory value gets distributed in Labour, Overhead and Direct Materials, but at Project Monitoring the cost split between cost elements - Labour, Overhead and Material is also to be displayed.

How should the cost elements be mapped to display those elements in Project Monitoring?

 

Thank you.

Hello,

Is the cost element connected to account or to another code part in your case? 
 

I think you can use control type C90 - Cost source - to set-up your M40 posting control on code part connected with Project cost element, to achieve the distribution expected. Different cost elements require different postings created.

Hello,

Thank you very much. The cost element is connected to account. I will try mapping M40 with C90 and will update you.

Thanks again.

Kind regards

It means you will need 3 accounts for work in progress - to separate labour, materials and overheads.

Hi,

Example of the solution using M91 control type - posting cost group:

 

Posting cost groups are defined per company:

and associated with cost bucket in costing:
