Introduction
Organizations often transact with affiliates or entities within the Group for inventory/services.

Introduction
SAP Advanced Intercompany Sales (AIS) in SAP S/4HANA enables affiliated companies within a corporate group to participate in an integrated intercompany sales process.
A typical scenario occurs when one company sells goods to an external customer while another company within the group delivers the goods directly to that customer.
Examples include:
- A sales company sells to an external customer while a producing company delivers the goods directly to the customer.
- A local sales organization sells to an external customer while a central warehouse fulfills the order.
SAP Advanced Intercompany Sales automates many of the sales, purchasing, delivery, billing, and accounting transactions between the participating companies.

Introduction
SAP Product Cost Controlling in S/4HANA provides the tools to plan product costs, calculate standard costs, collect actual manufacturing costs, analyze work in process and production variances, and settle costs at period end.
This guide provides an overview of the complete Product Cost Controlling process in SAP S/4HANA—from master data and cost estimates through Cost Object Controlling, Material Ledger and Actual Costing, Event-Based Production Costing, and reporting.
It also explains the differences between SAP S/4HANA On-Premise, Private Cloud, and Public Cloud where they affect Product Cost Controlling.
Quick Takeaway
SAP Product Cost Controlling connects product cost planning with manufacturing execution and period-end accounting. It helps organizations understand what products should cost, what they actually cost, and why differences occur.

SAP S/4HANA Deployment Options
SAP Product Cost Controlling is available across SAP S/4HANA deployment models, but functionality and configuration options vary between On-Premise, Private Cloud, and Public Cloud.
Understanding these differences is important when designing Product Costing processes or planning an S/4HANA transformation.
Throughout this guide, when we explain transactions and describe the configuration settings, the screens are identical for SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition and on-premise SAP S/4HANA. We don’t specifically explain SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition settings. When we explain how to run SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, the business transactions are via SAP Fiori (a web interface) rather than the SAP GUI. System configuration is largely delivered through SAP Best Practices, with additional configuration available through Self-Service Configuration UIs (SSCUI).
When we discuss SAP S/4HANA Cloud, we mean SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition. The SAP Fiori user interface is role-based, and we begin instructions with the application’s default role and then explain how to find the tile to run the application. If you use SAP S/4HANA Private Edition or SAP S/4HANA On-Premise, you can choose whether you use SAP GUI transactions or SAP Fiori. We give you the transaction code and the menu path for every SAP GUI application. For example, to create a material cost estimate, you can either enter Transaction CK11N, as shown in Figure 1, or follow the menu path Accounting • Controlling • Product Cost Controlling • Product Cost Planning • Material Costing Cost Estimate with Quantity Structure • Create. Figure 1 shows both the transaction code and the menu path. Both options will take you to the Create Material Cost Estimate with Quantity Structure screen shown in Figure 2, and from then on, the instructions are identical.
