Costing sheets in SAP determine how cost estimates calculate overhead costs.
costing format
variable costing
Traditional costing is a method in accounting where the manufacturing overhead costs are allocated to the products manufactured. It is also called as conventional costing.
Activity based costing allocate the overhead expenses based on activities performed and that's why it is an accurate way to allocate overhead expenses while in absorption costing, overheads are allocated based on some ratios or predetermined rate which is not accurate method of allocation of cost.
Fixed manufacturing overhead costs are shifted from one period to another due to changes in inventories under absorption costing. Every unit that is produced is assigned some fixed manufacturing overhead costs. Assuming that the said unit is not sold during that period, the fixed manufacturing cost assigned to that unit will then become part of the inventory and reported on the balance sheet and not the cost of good sold.

Departmentalisation of overhead means allocation of overhead cost base on predertmined rate in case of absorption method and based in activities in case of activity based costing.
VARIABLE COSTING VERSUS ABSORPTION COSTINGAbsorption costing applies all manufacturing overhead to production costs while they flow through Work-in-Process Inventory, Finished-Goods Inventory and expenses on the income statement while Variable Costing only applies variable manufacturing overhead.Fixed manufacturing overhead is expensed immediately as it is incurred under variable costing while it is inventoried until the accounting period during which the manufactured goods are sold under absorption costing.
no its a product cost
Over costing and under costing occurs because overhead cost is applied first using some ratio to find out the cost of product before the process of production done and actual cost found.
