Definition

The costs are calculated using the same number of decimal places as the currency in which the costs are recorded. In most currencies this is two decimal places.

Quantities are calculated using the same number of decimal places as the unit of measure in which they are recorded, up to a maximum of three places. Quotients of quantities (such as actual quantity ÷ target quantity) are calculated using six decimal places.

After each computation step, the costs and quantities are rounded to the appropriate number of places. Computation steps in this sense are the following:

  • Currency translation using exchange rates (also applies to planning and actual postings)
  • Target cost calculation
  • Actual cost splitting
  • Actual cost distribution using target costs
  • Variance calculation

Minor differences from variance categories can optionally be included as a total in the remaining variance rather than individually. You can set this in Customizing. Minor differences are variances that round to zero when divided by the activity quantity or the quantity of goods manufactured.

Recording of Quantities

If quantities are used in formulas to calculate variance categories, the quantities must exist and be complete, otherwise the variance category cannot be calculated. Incomplete quantities are indicated by a check box.

Activity quantities are recorded on cost centers and cost objects in the unit of measure specified in the activity master.

Material quantities are recorded on a cost object if the material origin has been selected in the material master. The quantities are recorded in the base unit of measure specified in the material master.

Origin group quantities are recorded in the base unit of measure of the first material that that is assigned to this origin group of the cost object (planned or actual). The origin group is specified in the material master. The material origin should not be selected at the same time. If materials with incompatible units of measure are assigned to an origin group, the quantities will be considered incomplete.

Cost element quantities are recorded in the unit of measure specified in the cost element master if the recording of quantities is selected there. This applies to primary cost elements on cost centers. The unit of measure in the cost element master can be changed during cost center planning. With cost objects, this applies to primary cost elements if neither an origin group nor a material exists. If the unit of measure for planned items or actual postings under a cost element is incompatible with the unit of measure in the cost element master (or incompatible with the unit of measure from cost center planning), the quantities will be considered incomplete. There are no quantities for cost elements for which no update of quantities has been selected. There are also no quantities with overhead.

Transactions without update of quantities:

  • Cost centers - calculation of imputed costs (actual)
  • Cost centers - calculation of imputed costs (plan)
  • Overhead periodic (actual)
  • Overhead periodic (plan)
  • Assessment (actual)
  • Assessment (plan)
