You are using a valuated sales order stock .
In manufacturing enterprises, actual costs are collected on the manufacturing orders (production orders and process orders).
Material valuations for the valuated sales order stock result immediately in inventory account postings in
Materials Management
(MM) and
Financial Accounting
(FI).
Goods issues in
Materials Management
(MM) for dependent requirements of the finished product therefore result in corresponding debits of the manufacturing orders. If the price control indicator of the material is set to
S
, the production order is debited with the standard price; if the price control indicator is set to
V
, the production order is debited with the current moving average price. The manufacturing orders therefore always show the full actual costs. Note that if the price control indicator of the material is set to S, the actual costs are calculated by multiplying the confirmed quantity by the standard price.
Because the manufacturing orders contain the full actual costs for the production of the material manufactured by the manufacturing order, you can calculate variances at the level of the manufacturing orders.
