As of SAP Accounting powered by SAP HANA, variances are calculated on production orders with transaction code KKS1H
.
Note
Variances can only be calculated on production orders, not on product cost collectors or process orders.
The option All Target Cost Versions
is not supported.
Accelerated collective variance calculation compares the target costs (in the form of standard costs) with the control costs (actual cost less scrap cost) of all production orders in the plant, and assigns the resulting variances to variance categories.
The following scenarios are supported:
Variance calculation on PP production orders with full settlement, production order triggered by sales order (with marked sales order cost estimate).
Target cost version 0 (Target Costs for Total Variances) is supported. The control cost is based on the actual cost of the order, while the target cost is calculated based on the current standard cost estimate of the order.
Scrap variances are calculated based on the standard cost estimate.
Calculation of variances for specific plants.
Processing can be optimized by means of an Auto Split
option that divides the set of orders into eight subsets. This option reduces processing time when the number of orders is sufficiently large.
You need to check your Customizing settings and ensure that they are adapted for the new variance calculation transaction. For detailed information see below under Effects on Customizing.
You also need to check the following transactions:
Transaction code: MM02
Do not change the origin group of the delivered material.
Transaction code: CA01
Multiple operation sequences and parallel sequence are not supported.
Operation split for scheduling is not supported.
The following Customizing settings need to be checked or carried out:
Write Line Items
should be selected.
Minor differences are not supported.
The valuation strategy should always use Current Std Cost Estimate
.
Target Cost Version 0 is supported. Control cost is based on the order cost and target cost is based on the current standard cost estimate of the order.
Primary price variances are not supported.
Note
In the Base
configuration of the costing sheet:
From/To origin
are not supported. All units of measure of the cost elements defined in the Base must be compatible.
In the Overhead Rate
configuration of the costing sheet:
The standard dependencies (D000 – D080) are supported. The customer-defined dependencies are not supported due to HANA technical limitations.
A quantity-based overhead rate should not be referenced by another quantity-based overhead rate.
Object currency conversion is not supported for quantity-based overhead rates. Users need to configure the amount using the controlling area currency in the Costing Sheet. In such cases, the object currency must be the same as the controlling area currency.
For quantity-based overhead rates, the specified unit of measure should be compatible with the unit of measure of the cost element that is grouped by the corresponding Base configuration.
In the Credit
configuration of the costing sheet:
Origin Group
is not supported. Order
and Business Process
are not supported as the object to be credited.
In the cost component structure configuration, Origin Group
is not supported.
The fiscal year variant must match the month of the calendar year.
