Preliminary cost estimate

It can be called as plan cost for the PCC
Preliminary cost generate for P.C.C at the time of creation of P.C
It is nothing but plan cost for P.C.C
How preliminary cost generates for PCC :-
Preliminary cost generate for PCC based on costing variant, BOM
Costing variant for P.C.C.
Costing type 19à Generate preliminary cost estimate
Valuation variant Not required to update in M.M.
Purpose of preliminary cost estimate :-
It is used as a base to determine target cost for WIP valuation pu

Target cost purpose :-

The target cost is used to valuate the WIP qtys (WIP calculation)
The target cost is used to identity and valuate the scrap value in
The target cost is used to re-valuate the reporting point quantiti

How to determine target cost :-

The target cost determines based on valuation variant for WIP a
