Product Price Variance

Hi,
Im doing a Product Price Variance report and have determined the datasources in BI Content:
2LIS_03_BF (Goods Movement from Inventory Management)
0CO_PC_ACT_05 (Material Valuation Prices)
0VENDOR_TEXT (Vendor Number Texts)
0MATERIAL_TEXT (Material Number)
Do i replicate only these datasources from RSA5 and take them into BI? Or do i need any other?
Would these take the master data texts for material number and vendor number?
Can i load the master data text directly into the cube or do i have to create a Infoobject and assign it as an info provider?
Thanks

Do i replicate only these datasources from RSA5 and take them into BI? Or do i need any other?
Activate them in RSA5 , now you will find them in RSA6.
Replicate in BI using App Comp or FM.
Would these take the master data texts for material number and vendor number?
Yes
Can i load the master data text directly into the cube or do i have to create a Infoobject and assign it as an info provider?
You load master data into infoobjects - 0Vendor & 0Material

Input Quantity Variance and Input Price Variance for Production Order

Dear All
I am running variance program KKS2 for calculating variance of production order. for Activity variances are coming under input price variance and input quantity varinace but for material the variances is now shown separately for quantity and price rather it is shown as variances total amount. Can someone help me in know why material quanitty variance and price variance not shown separately
Regards

How does input variance and output varia.nce will be calculated on the settlement of production order after TECO.
VARIANCE CALCULATION DEPENDS ON CONFIGURATION IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS,
1) VARIANCE VARIANT - DETERMINES WHAT VAREIANCE CATEGORIES ARE CALCULATED, E.G MATERIAL PRICE , USAGE, LABOUR RATE , USAGE VARIANCE ETC..
2) TARGET COST VERSIONS
3) VALUATION VARIANT FOR WIP AND SCRAP
Can we check in KOB3 or COOIS.
KOB3 - YES

Hi
You can use KKO0 reports...
For that, assign your Cost Comp Str in OKN0 and choose Product Group = material group.. This is one time config
Execute KKRV monthly after all period end setttlements are over... Then you can view KKO0 reports

Purchase price variance in subcontracting order

Our customer has the following scenario:
     Purchase account is posted with the value of stock subsequently purchase price variance is a legal account
     Material ledger is active
     Inventories are managed with standard price for each material code
     Latin method management of inventories post stock values on managerial account
In good receipt with a subcontracting order, in case of purchase price variance, legal account of purchase price variance is posted generating a wrong reconciliation between managerial and legal posting.
Example
The subcontractor is a co packer that assembles material A to produce material B
Material A has a standard price of   3
Material B has a standard price of     5
If Co packer fees have a value     of     2 no purchase price variance occurs during good receipt, as a matter of fact :
(Co packing fees) 2 + (Material A) 3 = (Material B) 5
Else if co packer fees have a value of 3 a purchase price variance of 1 occurs and itu2019s posted using transaction key u201CPRDu201D. On FI the following document is posted:
Legenda : L stands for legal account , M stands for managerial account
(L) Co packing Fees                                         3
(L) Invoice to receive                                     3
(L)Purchase price variance                            1
(M) Consumption Material A                           3
(M) Stock Material              A                            3
(M) Stock Material               B                            5
(M) Production Confirmation Material B       6
In this scenario Purchase price variance should be a managerial account, but transaction key is PRD and changing the account would affect every posting.

This is the answer from OSS
Dear Customer,
the system works as designed.
When Material Ledger is activated, price differences are always
generated under the circumstances you have described. The reason is
that when material ledger is activated, price differences must not be
included into the stock changes value, otherwise the system would
not be able to calculate an actual price.
When Material Ledger is activated, the customizing setting
for handling price differences in the subcontracting process has no
effect.

Purchase price variance

Hi
I want to to drill down the purchase price variance.Say I have PPV of 10K. I want to drill down to details of 10k.How to proceed.What is the transaction code for that?
Thanks in advance.
SN

Hi Satya,
Variances are based around the standard values that are set up in the Material Master file. These standard values represent what it "should" cost to produce (or purchase) a unit of the product. Variances are calculated automatically when settlement jobs are ran in SAP
purchase price variances are caused by a difference between the standard cost in the MM file and the actual price on the purchase order.
The entries will b something like this
Debit Inventory XXXXX
Credit Accounts Payable XXXXX
Credit Price Variance XXXXX

Purchase Price Variance Foreign Exchange difference

How Purchase Price Variance Foreign Exchange difference is calculated for material consumed in product costing / material ledger

You need to go to net price at purchase order in local currency. With quantity you'll get the purchase order total price in local currency.
Get the standard price of material master record (which is in purchase order) on MM03 transaction on costing 2 view.
Purchase price variance is the difference between purchase price order and material standard price.
To get this difference in foreing currency, you´ll need to get document date of purchase order, get exchange rate at OB08 and find both prices in foreign currency; after that get same way the variance.
Hope that helps,

Variances accounts - for Price variances

Hi,
I have a problem with deciding how many Price variance Accounts I should create.
There are 3 Production divisions and there are 3 types of PP orders.
Each PP order can create Finished Goods or SemiFinished Goods.
Should I create separate variance account for Finished Goods and separate variance account for Semi Finished Goods?
How can I assign these variances account (for settlement) to an order type, if one order type can do both FG and SFG. Maybe the PP order types should be divided into FG and SFG - so that there would be 6 PP order types?
What can you suggest me?
Best wishes,
Karol

Hi Karol
Create two production variance accounts for FG and SFG. These should not be created as cost elements and should have PRD PRF as account determination. You dont have to create as many variance accounts for each PP orde type
Create one more variance account - called Variances in production as cost element.
Order crated for a material and depending on the material type and valuation class assigned to material, different accounts will be hit
You assign PRD PRF for FG and SFG material valuation classes
Hope the above clarifies. Please assign points

Price Variance hitting PPV account even when there is stock.

Dear Experts,
We have scenario where stock is transferred from one plant to another within the same company code. However the price difference between invoice and PO price is being posted to PPV account eventhough there is Material Stock.
Your advice is highly appreciated.
Regards
Adithya

Hi Aditya,
Sorry for interupting between, please let me share some views on ML, anyhow consider Ajay's input as final.
Let us assume this way:
Present your RM price as 100 Rs.
Your PO is raised for 150 Rs and the stock is 20 KG
When you have your GR, the entry you might see is...
Dr. RM stock account (20*100)                        2000
Dr. Purchase price variance ((150-100)*20)    1000
Cr. GR/IR                                                        -3000
Still stock has not been issued to any production order or any cost center etc, so RM stock left with you is 20 KG
So this might be your scenario, and you are expecting the purchase price diffference should be posted to stock, instead of purchase price variance. Since price control you have made as S (that understood from earlier talk), it is the right behaviour of the system.
If you want to make the system to consider the difference to stock, then obvously you need to have ML.
Please have a look at ML process, how system is going to roll up the difference.
Again assume that inorder to manufacture a particular FG, you are using the above RM of 15 KGs.
So the RM left at stock after issue will be 5 Kgs
If you maintain all the settings related to actual costing (ML), at the month end we will be performing ML process, where we will be having different steps to go, among those for the time being these two are important as you want to see the diffence updation to stock.. (explaining only for purchase price differences, but in real system is going to have preliminary value, purchase price difference, production variance and exchange rate differences also)
single level price determination: by this system is going to calculate what is the amount have to be considered for the respective level (here it is RM) and how much amount to be distributed to next level
Since 5 Kgs of stock is left out, system is going to allocate at RM level (total difference amount * inventory remaining/total inventory) i.e. (1000*5/20) = 250
This amount of 250 will be added to RM stock
at the same time system is going to calculate what amount to be distributed to higher level also (becuase already we issued 15 kgs to FG manufaucturing and at the time of issue system has considered 100 Rs as issue price, but in real it should be issued considering PPV also)
so system is going to calculate and specifies what is the amount to be rolled up to higher level here it is (1000*15/20) = 750, but in this step system will not add 750 Rs to FG value
The adding of rollup actual costing is done in the next step i.e. multi level price determination
I hope you understand.....
Regards..

Output price variance calculation

Hello,
I have a question on output price variance calculation in SAP.
The help reads:
"Output price variances are reported in the following situations:
If the standard price has changed between the time point of delivery to stock and the time point when the variances are calculated "
I do not quite understand this as when I have a standard price change between the delivery to stock and the variance calculation, I will already have a CO-PA entry for the price change. So why do I need another CO-PA posting for the variance?
Looking at the simple example of having costs of 150 USD when producing a material of 150 USD. If nothing changes I have a variance of 0 USD.
However if I receive the finished product to stock with a value of 150 USD and then revaluate to 165 USD before the variance calculation happens, I understand SAP would post an output price variance of 15 USD? But I also get 15 USD price variance from the stock revaluation into my books, so isnt that a double count?
Thanks a lot for your help
Kai

Hi Kai Hoffmann ,
As the SAP Help says...
Output price variances are reported in the following situations:
If the standard price has changed between the time point of delivery to stock and the time point when the variances are calculated
With respect to the above point, pls follow the example and let me know if you agree or not...
Let us say, we have Standard Cost of Product X for the month of Feb as $100 per tonne.
One Production Order is created for 100 Tonnes and you made Goods Receipt for 50 tonnes during Febrauray. (50 Tonnes posted to Inventory a @$100). Now, at the month-end, you estimated the Standard Cost once again and the new Standard Cost effective for the month of March is $110 per tonne.
Revaluation of inventory is done for 50 tonnes (for GR posted alread and in stock) and $10 * 50 tonnes is posted to Price Difference Account.
Now, during the month of March, you made the GR for balance 50 Tonnes on the Production Order. Inventory is posted @ $110. Once you do TECO and do the variance calculation, the system will post $10 * 50 tonnes as output price variance, which will flow to COPA and Price Difference Account.
So, I dont feel there is a double count or duplication...
waiting for your comments

LIV tolerance for price variance from PO to LIV

Hi Friends,
I am finding difficulty in setting up the tolerance key for price variance from PO value to invoice value. Suppose if PO price is $100 then system should allow upto $105 with out blocking means with percentage of 5%. If it exceeds 5% system should block the invoice.
Please suggest the tolerance key to use and if any other settings required.
Thanks...
Best Regards

Hi,
Following is the SAP help on the Tolerance settings for Invoice. Check the config and decide what is best for you (from your brief explanation it looks like AP and PP may be relevant fro your case)
===================
Set Tolerance Limits
    In this step, you specify the tolerance limits for each tolerance key
    for each company code.
    When processing an invoice, the R/3 System checks each item for
    variances between the invoice and the purchase order or goods receipt.
    The different types of variances are defined in tolerance keys.
    The system uses the following tolerance keys to check for variances:
    o   AN: Amount for item without order reference
        If you activate the item amount check, the system checks every line
        item in an invoice with no order reference against the absolute
        upper limit defined.
    o   AP: Amount for item with order reference
        If you activate the item amount check, the system checks specific
        line items in an invoice with order reference against the absolute
        upper limit defined. Which invoice items are checked depends on how
        you configure the item amount check.
    o   BD: Form small differences automatically
        The system checks the balance of the invoice against the absolute
        upper limit defined. If the upper limit is not exceeded, the system
        automatically creates a posting line called Expense/Income from
        Small Differences, making the balance zero and allowing the system
        to post the document.
    o   BR: Percentage OPUn variance (IR before GR)
        The system calculates the percentage variance between the following
        ratios: quantity invoiced in order price quantity units : quantity
        invoiced in order units and quantity ordered in order price quantity
        units : quantity ordered in order units. The system compares the
        variance with the upper and lower percentage tolerance limits.
    o   BW: Percentage OPUn variance (GR before IR)
        The system calculates the percentage variance between the following
        ratios: quantity invoiced in order price quantity units: quantity
        invoiced in order units and goods receipt quantity in order price
        quantity units : goods receipt quantity in order units. The system
    compares the variance with the upper and lower percentage limits
    defined.
o   DQ: Exceed amount: quantity variance
    If a goods receipt has been defined for an order item and a goods
    receipt has already been posted, the system multiplies the net order
    price by (quantity invoiced - (total quantity delivered - total
    quantity invoiced)).
    If no goods receipt has been defined, the system multiplies the net
    order price by (quantity invoiced - (quantity ordered - total
    quantity invoiced)).
    The system compares the outcome with the absolute upper and lower
    limits defined.
    This allows relatively high quantity variances for invoice items for
    small amounts, but only small quantity variances for invoice items
    for larger amounts.
    You can also configure percentage limits for the quantity variance
    check. In this case, the system calculates the percentage variance
    from the expected quantity, irrespective of the order price, and
    compares the outcome with the percentage limits configured.
    The system also carries out a quantity variance check for planned
    delivery costs.
o   DW: Quantity variance when GR quantity = zero
    If a goods receipt is defined for an order item but none has as yet
    been posted, the system multiplies the net order price by (quantity
    invoiced + total quantity invoiced so far).
    The system then compares the outcome with the absolute upper
    tolerance limit defined.
    If you have not maintained tolerance key DW for your company code,
    the system blocks an invoice for which no goods receipt has been
    posted yet. If you want to prevent this block, then set the
    tolerance limits for your company code for tolerance key DW to Do
    not check.
o   KW: Variance from condition value
    The system calculates the amount by which each delivery costs item
    varies from the product of quantity invoiced * planned delivery
    costs/ planned quantity. It compares the variance with the upper and
    lower limits defined (absolute limits and percentage limits).
o   LA: Amount of blanket purchase order
        The system determines the number of days by which the invoice is
        outside the planned time interval. If the posting date of the
        invoice is before the validity period, the system calculates the
        number of days between the posting date and the start of the
        validity period. If the posting date of the invoice is after the
        validity period, the system calculates the number of days between
        the posting date and the end of the validity period. The system
        compares the number of days with the with the absolute upper limit
        defined.
    o   PP: Price variance
        The system determines by how much each invoice item varies from the
        product of quantity invoiced * order price. It then compares the
        variance with the upper and lower limits defined (absolute limits
        and percentage limits).
        When posting a subsequent debit/credit, the system first checks if a
        price check has been defined for subsequent debits/credits. If so,
        the system calculates the difference between (value of subsequent
        debit/credit + value invoiced so far) / quantity invoiced so far *
        quantity to be debited/credited and the product of the quantity to
        be debited/credited * order price and compares this with the upper
        and lower tolerance limits (absolute limits and percentage limits).
    o   PS: Price variance: estimated price
        If the price in an order item is marked as an estimated price, for
        this item, the system calculates the difference between the invoice
        value and the product of quantity invoiced * order price and
        compares the variance with the upper and lower tolerance limits
        defined (absolute limits and percentage limits).
        When posting a subsequent debit/credit, the system first checks
        whether a price check has been defined for subsequent
        debits/credits, If so, the system calculates the difference between
        (value of subsequent debit/credit + value invoiced so far) /
        quantity invoiced so far * quantity to be debited/credited and the
        product quantity to be debited/credited * order price. It then
        compares the variance with the upper and lower tolerance limits
        defined (absolute limits and percentage limits).
    o   ST: Date variance (value x days)
        The system calculates for each item the product of amount *
        (scheduled delivery date - date invoice entered) and compares this
        product with the absolute upper limit defined. This allows
        relatively high schedule variances for invoice items for small
        amounts, but only small schedule variances for invoice items for
        large amounts.
    o   VP: Moving average price variance
        When a stock posting line is created as a result of an invoice item,
        the system calculates the new moving average price that results from
        the posting. It compares the percentage variance of the new moving
        average price to the old price using the percentage tolerance limits
        defined.
    Variances are allowed within predefined tolerance limits. If a variance
    exceeds a tolerance limit, however, the system issues a message
    informing the user. If an upper limit (except with BD and VP) is
    exceeded, the invoice is blocked for payment when you post it. You must
    then release the invoice in a separate step. If the tolerance limit for
    BD is breached, the system cannot post the invoice.
    Note that if you set all limits for a tolerance key to Do not check, the
    system does not check that tolerance limit. Therefore any variance would
    be accepted. This does not make sense particularly in the case of the
    tolerance key Form small differences automatically.
    Activities
    Configure the tolerance limits for the individual tolerance keys.

CO-Production Order Variance

Dear All
In the manufacturing loctions, we are using the standard cost for inventory valution of the finished and semi-finished goods.
During Production order settlement, the system is posting the entire variance between the planned cost vs actual cost to Price Variance Account. The above amount including the combined value of the Materail issue + Confirmations / Activity Cost +Oveherad Cost +Miscelleneous (Carry forwards from the child orders)
Our client wants to post the variance to different GL codes in the following manner:
(a) Materail varaince should post to one gl code
(b) Confirmation / Activity Cost should post to one gl code
(c) Overhead Cost should post to one gl code
Is there any option to configure the system ? if not, is there any functional solution that way i am able to bring comfort to the client (either report like summary of the the variance for all production orders during the period with the (a) (b) and (c) break up)
Kindly revert
Regards
Anilkumar

Dear Srikanth
Thanks for your reply, but the client requirement is the posting of the variance to FI, which need to have a break up

Production Order Variance Configuration

Hi Gurus,
Would you please help me with configuring the Production order variances in product costing. I would really aapreciate if you can send me some documentation. My scenario is to configure the automatic calculation of production order variance and its settlement to Copa. I would really appreciate an early response. If you have any documentations please send it to kamkhan.sap at gmail.
Thanks

Hi MKR,
You can calculate the following variances in the R/3 system:
Planning variances
Production variances
Production variance of the period
Total variance
You control the variance calculation process by specifying a particular target cost version.
In make-to-stock production, standard cost is calculated in the standard cost estimate for the material. In sales-order-related production with a valuated sales order stock, standard cost is determined using a predefined valuation strategy.
During production, actual costs are collected on the order (product cost collector or manufacturing order). The actual costs that are compared with the target costs are reduced by the work in process and scrap variances (the result is called the net actual cost).
You can determine the production variances of the period by comparing an alternative material cost estimate with the (net) actual costs. This alternative material cost estimate can be the modified standard cost estimate or the current cost estimate, for example.
Total Variance
The total variance is the only variance that is relevant to settlement. This means that only the variance categories of target cost version 0 can be transferred to Profitability Analysis (CO-PA).
The total variance is the difference between the actual costs debited to the order and the costs credited to the order due to deliveries to stock. The difference between the debit and credit of the order is passed to Financial Accounting (FI) and Profit Center Accounting (EC-PCA) when the order is settled.
The target costs for the total variance are calculated as follows:
In make-to-stock production, the target costs are calculated using the standard cost estimate for the material and the quantity delivered to stock.
In sales-order-related production with a valuated sales order stock, the target costs are calculated using the cost estimate relevant to the valuation of the sales order stock (such as a sales order cost estimate or a standard cost estimate for the manufacturing order) and the quantity delivered to stock.
For the total variance, the control costs are equivalent to the following:
In Product Cost by Order, the control costs are the actual costs less the scrap variances.
In Product Cost by Period, the control costs are the actual costs less the work in process and scrap variances.
The variance calculation process compares the itemization of the cost estimate on which the calculation of target costs is based with the line items in your actuals.
The itemization contains detailed information based on the costing lot size, such as the materials to be used and the activities to be performed.
When you release a standard cost estimate for a material, the price calculated therein becomes the standard price in the material master record of the material being manufactured. In the standard system, an itemization is always created for standard cost estimates for materials.
The following variance categories can be reported for the total variance:
Input price variance
Resource-usage variance
Input quantity variance
Remaining input variance
Scrap variance
Mixed-price variance
Output price variance
Lot size variance
Remaining variance
When you settle, you can transfer the total variance to Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) broken down into variance categories.
In CO-PA, the standard cost of goods manufactured for the product is compared with the revenues to calculate an initial contribution margin for the period. The variances between actual cost and standard cost of goods manufactured can be used to calculate a second contribution margin for the period.
When you calculate the variances, you can transfer the difference between the debit and credit to CO-PA only as a total.
You calculate the total variance with target cost version 0.
Hope this helps. Please assign points and let me know if you need more information.

Production order variance and purchase variance go to one business area.

Hi Experts,
I have a issue while Purchase order we have ordered 3000 qty and while goods receipt we posted 300000 qty and same was issed for prodction order instead of 3000 and got variance. Then afterward purchase order qty was rectified with correct qty then purchase variance happed. The production order variance is getting offsetting by purchase order variance and no effect on gross profit.
Now my question is production variance is going one business area and purchase variance is going another business area. It should not be like that. Both should be showed only one business area. Please provide solution.
Thanks in advance.

Dear Balu,
You can try OKB9 wherein you need to select the indicator 'BAlrn' against the cost elements of Purchase price difference account. Then select the line item and click the folder 'Detail for business area/valuation area' and input your business area. Thereby you can capture this variance in same business area, even if any other business area is entered or derived differently.
Further, if your production variance account is also a cost element, you can direct the postings to the same business area, we can do the same as explained above. If not, we have to think of another configuration or work around. Pl let me know.
Trust this helps much!
