Definition

Variance category on the input side.

Difference between the target costs and the control costs caused by differences between the planned consumption quantities of the goods and activities.

Use

The variance calculation process calculates the input quantity variances by period and cost element.

In a target/actual comparison, the quantity variances are defined by the following formulas:

Input quantity variance =
(Actual input quantity - Target input quantity) x Planned price
Input qty variance fixed =
(Actual input qty - target input qty) x Planned fixed price

Variances caused by both price differences and quantity differences are not assigned to the input quantity variances but shown as input price variances.

Input quantity variances can only be calculated if the target and actual consumption quantities are available.

Input quantity variances are actually calculated by the following formulas, which give the same results as the formulas above:

Input quantity variance =
(Actual input qty/Target input qty - 1 ) x Target costs
Input qty variance (fixed) =
(Actual input qty/Target input qty - 1) x Target costs (fixed)

In the case of activity inputs with predistribution of fixed costs, the input quantity variance is equal to the difference between the target costs and the actual costs less the input price variance.

In a plan/plan comparison of cost objects, the formulas use the planning data instead of the actual data.

Calculation accuracy

Examples

11 pieces are withdrawn from stock for a production order, but only 10 pieces were planned. The material costs USD 10 each.

Input quantity variances = (11 pc. - 10 pc.) x (USD 100 / 10 pc.) = USD 10
