Cost elements set in KEI1 A1 Settle Production Variances?

Question

Dear Experts,
What kinds of cost elements would be set in KEI1 If the PA transfer str. is A1Settle Production Variances?
10     Input price variance
20     Input quantity variance
30     Resource-usage variance
40     Remaining input variance
50     Mixed-price variance
60     Output price variance
70     Lot size-/fixed-cost variance
80     Remaining variance
90     Scrap
Could i say "cost elements that we can see when we do KKS1 variance caluation?
Or else?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
You NEVER assign cost elements to value fields for mapping the settlement in COPA. Instead of that what you do is in the source tab for the line (eg 10 Scrap) select the radio button called ' varainces on production orders' and input the appropriate variance category eg. eg SCRP. In value field tab you would assign the appropriate value field. There is no need to assign cost elements. When you execute variance calculation the information is captured in the following fields and the same flow to COPA when you assign the variance category to value fields.
PRIV      Input Price Variance
QTYV     Input Quantity Variance
RSUV     Resource-Usage Variance
INPV             Remaining Input Variance
MXPV     Mixed-Price Variance
OPPV     Output Price Variance
LSFV     Lot Size Variance/Fixed-Cost Variance
REMV     Remaining Variance
SCRP     Scrap
The variance calculation is not just a simple difference between the cost elements it is also related to quantity as well.
