Definition

Variance category on the output side.

Difference between the target credit and the allocated actual costs.

In Overhead Cost Controlling, an output price variance results from the use of an allocation price that does not credit the cost center with the target costs (that is, if the planned activity price is different from the price with which the activity is valuated in internal activity allocation).

This can be the case for example if you valuate the internal activities with political prices, use the capacity as the basis for planned price iteration, or use average activity prices instead of period-based prices.

In Product Cost Controlling, an output price variance results when the actual credit of an order (such as a product cost collector or production order) does not equal the target credit.

This is the case for delivery to stock for a material with price control indicator V at a price that is not the standard price.

The actual credit is calculated as follows:

  • In Overhead Cost Controlling, the actual activity is valuated with an allocation price.
  • In Product Cost Controlling, the delivered quantity or the order plan quantity is valuated with a price from the material master record. The valuation variant for the valuation of goods received determines whether the goods receipt is valuated with the standard price, the moving average price, or a planned price.

The target credit is calculated as follows:

  • In Overhead Cost Controlling, the fixed and variable planned costs are multiplied by the operating rate of the cost center/activity or process.
  • In Product Cost Controlling, the delivered quantity or the order plan quantity is valuated using the standard price for the material produced.

If the object is a sender in the predistribution of fixed costs, the fixed target credit does not depend on the operating rate but is equal to the fixed planned costs.

If the actual quantity for the object is entered manually (this is not possible with all CO objects), the output price variance is calculated in the same way as the input price variance:

Output price variance = Target credit * (Manual actual qty ÷
Allocated quantity) - Allocated actual costs
Fixed output price var. = Fixed target credit * (Manual actual qty
÷ Allocated qty) - Alloc. fixed actual costs

Use

Variance calculation determines the output price variances by period.
