Documentation
Value of the control costs.
Use
Control costs are compared with the target costs to calculate the variances.
Prerequisites
Calculate the work in process before you calculate the variances.
Dependencies
The system calculates the control costs automatically when it calculates the variances.
The control costs are calculated in different ways depending on the variances to be calculated.
For the calculation of total variances and production variances, the control costs are the actual costs less the work in process and scrap. For the calculation of planning variances, the control costs are calculated on the basis of the preliminary cost estimate for the order. The base quantity for the calculation of total variances and production variances is the actual quantity delivered to stock, while for the calculation of planning variances the base quantity is the planned order quantity.
Subtracting the work in process and scrap from the actual costs assures that only true variances are calculated.
