Documentation

Definition

Total value of the control costs.

This value is the sum of the control cost debits and control cost credits.

Use

In variance calculation, the control costs are compared with the target costs to calculate the variances.

Prerequisites

Before you calculate the variances, calculate the work in process.

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 total variances and production variances, the control costs are actual costs less the work in process and scrap. For the planning variances, the control costs are calculated on the basis of the preliminary cost estimate for the order. For the total variances and the production variances, the reference quantity is the actual quantity deliverd to stock. For the planning variances, the reference quantity is the planned order quantity.

Deducting the work in process and scrap from the actual costs ensures that only true variance are calculated.
