    5. The resulting variance amounts to the sum of the variances on the input and output side respectively.

    The variance on the input side is the difference between the control costs and the target costs. The control costs are the costs (actual costs) posted for the sales order on the product costs collector, less the work in process and scrap. The target costs are equivalent to the standard price multiplied by the order quantity. The standard price originates from a released standard cost estimate.

    The variance on the input side is the difference between the control costs and the target costs. The actual costs allocated represent the credit of the product cost collector for the costs as have been calculated in the appropriate sales order.
