actual credit

Controlling (CO)

Actual credit of a cost center, business process, or order.

In Overhead Cost Controlling (CO-OM), the actual credit is calculated by multiplying the actual activity quantity by the allocation price.

In Cost Object Controlling (CO-PC-OBJ), the actual credit is equal to the amount credit to the order based on the goods receipts.

If the price control indicator in the material's master record is set to S and the standard price has not been changed, the actual credit equals the target credit (target credit = quantity delivered x standard price)

If the price control indicator in the material's master record is set to V, the actual credit is the actual activity quantity multiplied by the price selected according to the valuation variant (such as the moving average price).

The difference between the target credit and the actual credit is called the output price variance. In variance calculation, actual credits do not contain credit amounts that are based on settlements.
