Which cost estimates must you reuse with the transfer control functionality? 3.2
- A.
Cost estimates within the same plant
- B.
Cost estimates with same cost component structure
- C.
Cost estimates across company codes
- D.
Cost estimates with quantity structure
Correct Answer
B. Cost estimates with same cost component structureExplanation
The transfer control functionality allows for the reuse of cost estimates with the same cost component structure. This means that if two cost estimates have the same breakdown of cost components, they can be transferred and reused. This can save time and effort in creating new cost estimates from scratch, as the existing structure can be used as a template. The other options listed, such as cost estimates within the same plant, across company codes, or with quantity structure, do not specifically mention the need for the same cost component structure, and therefore do not apply to the question.Rate this question:

Work in progress (WIP) calculation
- C.
Variance calculation
- D.
