0821 Cost-plus invoicing types - Actual cost processing
This tab allows you to specify the cost elements you want to include in the pricing. You also specify how the applicable rate will be determined. In general, for each cost element, you can choose from the following settings:
Do not include in the pricing
Include at commercial price: For example, as listed in a price list or found by checking flexible search paths
Include at cost price from actual costing stage: In this case, you can enter a percentage that will serve as a margin to determine the commercial price. For example, you could specify that labor hours must be included in the pricing at the actual cost price including overhead costs and including a 10% margin.
By specifying the correct setting for each cost element, you can control the price used when creating cost-plus invoicing lines.
Note: If a service contract version has been entered for a sales order, the discount percentages specified on the Conditions tab of the service contract version will apply.
