Documentation

Definition

Variance category on the input side.

Difference between the target costs and the control costs resulting from differences between the planned prices and the actual prices of the goods consumed.

Use

The system calculates and posts input price variances for primary postings according to the entries made in Controlling under "Primary price variances." You can display this data in the Information System.

If you calculate variances at the end of the period, the system recalculates input price variances, providing you specified quantities in addition to the costs for the postings.

With target/actual comparisons, the price variances are defined by the following formulas:

Input price variance = (Actual price - Plan price) x
Actual input quantity
Fixed input price variance = (Fixed actual price - Fixed plan price) x
Actual input quantity

Variances caused by both price differences and quantity differences are assigned to the category of input price variances.

If the quantities are incomplete or nonexistent, the input price variances are taken from the posting records as they have been calculated from the actual costs for the postings as a percentage and activity-based. It is not possible to calculate input price variances if no percentage rates have been defined.

The input price variances are actually calculated with the following formulas, which give the same results as the above formulas:

Input price variance = Actual costs - (Actual input qty/Target input
qty) x Target costs
Fixed input price var. = Fixed actual costs - (Actual input qty ÷
Target input qty) x Fixed target costs

In the case of activity inputs with predistribution of fixed costs, the posted input price variances of the totals records are used.

With plan/plan comparisons of cost objects for the calculation of planning variances, the actual data in the formulas is replaced by the plan control data.
