Definition
If you set this indicator, variances are passed on to costing-based Profitability Analysis (CO-PA component) during order settlement.
Use
If the goods receipt for a production order is valued at the standard price, then the inventory valuation is based on the results of the standard cost estimate for the material. In order settlement, there are differences between the actual costs for the order (order debit), and the order credit due to goods receipt at the standard price. These are transferred to a price difference account, or for allocation price control to a balance sheet account.
If you determine variances for the production order, then this difference is distributed according to variance categories. Examples are input_price_variances, input quantity variances, resource_usage variances, and remaining input variance.
The system generates a second distribution rule for the order during the settlement of variances. It does this if the variances indicator is set in the settlement profile. This rule assigns the variances to the profitability segment for the material produced (100% to profitability analysis). Using this information, you can compare the billing data in costing-based Profitability Analysis with the cost of sales at actual costs (that is, the results of the standard cost estimate plus variances) for the product sold.
Dependencies
In the PA transfer structure you split the original costs (such as material costs, internal activities) and the variances according to assignment lines. You assign these to value fields. In order settlement, the variances are passed on to costing-based Profitability Analysis in line with this assignment.
The system creates the first distribution rule automatically when you create the production order or process order in line with the default rule. The first distribution rule with delivery to the anonymous warehouse and delivery to the valuated sales order stock is always 100% to the material. When you use nonvaluated sales order stock it is 100% to the sales order.
You can display the distribution rules in the order header for the settlement rule.
Notes
If you are using the account-based Profitability Analysis, the system automatically posts the price differences to Profitability Analysis.
