Hello Christian, the problem you describe is indeed a bit complicated, but not uncommon when using SAP's costing scenarios with different costing variants and a simultaneous desire for specific control of the cost component split and transfer of previous cost estimates. First of all, I would like to make sure that I have understood the situation correctly: You want to transfer the unit cost estimate from the previous month for material HALB01, while for HALB02 you want to create a new cost estimate based on the BOM and other production factors. Some points that might be helpful here: 1. Check the costing variants: Make sure that the costing variants (Z001 and ZMAN) are correctly defined and configured differently, especially with regard to the settings that affect the roll-up of cost stratifications 2. Adjust transfer control: The takeover control you are using should be specific enough to take over only the costings you want. In your case, you should actually be able to precisely control which data is transferred using the costing variant and specific transfer control logic (possibly also individual programming). 3 Use customizing or user exit: If the standard functionality is not sufficient, you can check whether a user exit or BAdI (Business Add-In) is available that allows you to influence the costing transfer logic. In your scenario, such an approach might be necessary to control exactly which data is transferred and which should be recalculated. 4 Programming error (bug): Since you mentioned that the system does not seem to work correctly in the check routine for the costing variants (it does not specifically check for ZMAN), there could well be a bug here, or adjustments have been made over the course of the many ERP updates that are now causing this behavior. It would be advisable to check the SAP Support Notes or create a ticket with SAP to see if this is a known problem or if there is a recommendation for a solution. In summary, my tip is to check the transfer control carefully and adjust it, and in parallel also to consider a technical adjustment (user exit, BAdI or possibly a small development work of your own) to control the transfer as you need it. I hope this helps you!
