• Key Concepts: 
  Cost element itemization is a feature of SAP's Product Cost Controlling (CO-PC) component. It allows users to break down the cost of a product into its individual components, such as raw materials, labor, and overhead. This helps to identify the cost drivers of a product and provides insight into how costs can be reduced. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Cost element itemization can be used to analyze the cost of a product or service. To do this, users must first define the cost elements that make up the total cost of the product or service. This can be done by assigning cost elements to each component of the product or service. Once the cost elements have been defined, users can then use the itemization feature to break down the total cost into its individual components. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using cost element itemization, it is important to ensure that all costs are accurately accounted for. This includes both direct and indirect costs, such as overhead and taxes. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all costs are assigned to the correct cost elements in order to get an accurate picture of the total cost of the product or service.
