CKAON is a powerful tool provided by SAP to calculate cost estimate with high level of accuracy for in-house produced material and material procured from outside. CK40N is executed in multiple steps from selection of material to release of cost estimate, which generally took of time to get executed. The purpose of this article is to specify how we can use the standard functionality of SAP to automate CK4ON, for calculating cost estimates. Automation of CK40N: Product cost estimate through CKAON includes the below steps: Selection ‘Structure Explosion for in-house produced materials Costing for all the materials at structure explosion Analysis for cost estimates Marking for cost estimate as future standard cost Release of future cost estimate as current standard cost estimates Define the costing run name: Transaction CK4ON, new cost estimate pestis sap com/20 1405 2/eutomation- standard cost-stimate-ckéOr!282017 ‘Agomaton ef Standard Gost Estmate (CKAON) | SAP Blogs fae Specify the validity dates for cost estimates Save the costing Run.
