You want the SAP S/4HANA system to perform product cost planning. What master data is used to calculate the quantity structure? Note. There are 2 correct answers to this question.

Question

Options

• ARouting
• BWork center
• CCost center
• DBill of material

• A
  71% (34)
• B
  10% (5)
• C
  19% (9)

Explanation

In SAP S/4HANA Product Cost Planning, the quantity structure defines what is needed and how to produce a product. The Bill of Material (D) provides the component quantities - i.e., which raw materials and semi-finished goods are required and in what amounts. The Routing (A) defines the sequence of production operations and the time required at each step, enabling the system to calculate activity costs based on those quantities.

Work Center (B) is wrong because, while work centers are referenced within routing operations, they are not themselves quantity structure data - they are master data for capacity and cost rate lookups, subordinate to the routing. Cost Center (C) is wrong because cost centers belong to cost accounting (FI/CO), not the quantity structure; they are used to calculate activity prices but do not define production quantities or operations.

Memory tip: Think of it as "Blueprint + Recipe" - the Bill of Material is the blueprint (materials needed), and the Routing is the recipe (steps to make it). Together, B + R = Quantity Structure.
