On my most recent assignment, I learned a lot about setting up the service work center properly. One of the biggest take aways from this that I learned is that the formulas for service orders are very particular. In particular, there is one field that is essential if you wish to see the planned cost show up in the service order.
The highlighted field above needs to be SAP008, or something using the following data.
This becomes very important, because production orders have a far greater range of formula variables that work than service (or network) orders.
So, if you find that planned costs just aren’t showing up in your service order, take a look at the formula assigned to the routing.
