There are several CDS views available for standard cost estimates.

CDS Views for Inventory Accounting

It's not clear how the CDS views are connected and what is the logic to fetch cost estimate data.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

There are several CDS views available:

I_ProductCostEstimate

I_ProductCostEstimateItem

I_ProductCostEstimateDEX

I_ProductCostEstimateItemDEX

For multi-level cost estimate, the data for items are nested level by level.

For example, you have BOM level like below:

- Finished Material F

-- Raw Material R1 & R2

If you want to check the item data for cost estimate of material F, sub-item R1 & R2, you need to:

First find header data in I_ProductCostEstimate for material F.

With key field COSTESTIMATE, find corresponding item details in item view I_ProductCostEstimateItem.

Get the relevant TRANSFERCOSTESTIMATE data, and with the same key, search again in the item view I_ProductCostEstimateItem to get the item detail information.
