Product lifecycle costing offers substantial benefits for the profit analysis of various decision objects, especially products. Nevertheless the implementation of product lifecycle costing in practice faces several problems, that can be solved by using modern software tools. The article presents a solution for collecting and analyzing actual data. The proposed combination of the SAP R/3 ERP System and the SAP Business Information Warehouse for product lifecycle costing purposes is implemented and tested in practice. A concept for lifecycle planning is presented, based on the results of interviews about lifecycle planning in several enterprises. The concept is implemented as a prototype using the SAP Business Information Warehouse and SAP Strategic Enterprise Management. The software solutions described enable enterprises to continuously collect the actual data of a product lifecycle and to join actual and budget data for analysis.
