Example for Variance Calculation In this example, the target costs are compared with the control costs (net actual costs) for a production order. This example shows only variances on the input side.The actual costs arise from goods movements in the Materials Management component, and confirmations in theProduction Planning component or activity allocations in the Controlling component.If... then the

system calculates...

the price of the material issued changes an input price variance

the input quantity of a material changes an input quantity variance

a material is replaced by a differentmaterial

a resource-usage variance

the confirmed values are different from the standard values an input quantity variance

the operation is performed at a differentcost center

a resource-usage variance

you have confirmed scrap (in Product Cost by Period at operation level, in Product Cost by Order at operation level or at order header level) and you have selected the indicator Scrap in the variance key and the indicatorScrap variances in the variance variant

scrap variances and reports them

The following tables provide an overview of the results of variance calculation. The first table shows the planned costs and actual costs for the order by cost element. The second table shows the same information by costing item. The third table shows the values that are calculated when variances are calculated for the order.Order: Analysis by Cost ElementResource Cost Elements Planned Costs Actual Costs
