SAP S/4 HANA CO -Complete End to End Scenarios of "COSTING"

🎓 Course Title: SAP CO: Variance Analysis (Input Side & Output Side Variances), Scrap Variance with Product Costing in S/4HANA 1909

🚀 Course Description:

Variance analysis is an indispensable tool for manufacturing companies, serving as a beacon that illuminates the discrepancies between planned (standard) and actual outcomes. These insights are instrumental in driving management decisions and optimizing operational efficiency. 🧐

Diving Deeper into Variance Analysis:

• Input Side Variances 📈

  • 1. Input Price Variance: The discrepancy between the standard cost and the actual cost of inputs, such as raw materials or labor, can reveal a lot about market fluctuations and purchasing decisions.
  • 2. Input Quantity Variance: Differences between the planned and the actual quantity of inputs used can point to either overuse or underuse of resources, affecting the production costs.
  • 3. Resource-Usage Variance: When alternative resources are employed due to unforeseen circumstances, it leads to a variance that impacts the cost structure.
  • 4. Remaining Input Variance: Any unexplained input variance that doesn't fit into the above categories is captured here, often related to changes in overhead rates.

• Output Side Variances 💰

  • 1. Output Price Variance: The gap between the actual selling price and the standard selling price can affect revenue forecasts and pricing strategies.
  • 2. Mixed Price Variance: This variance emerges from using a mixed cost for valuing materials, where the actual cost may differ from the standard mix used.
  • 3. Lot Size Variance: Discrepancies in batch sizes can lead to cost variances, especially when fixed costs are allocated per batch.
  • 4. Remaining Variance: Any variance that doesn't fit into the other specified categories but is still significant enough to be accounted for.

• Scrap Variances 🗑️

  • Assembly Scrap: Waste generated during the main assembly process, which can signal issues in the assembly line or processes.
  • Operation Scrap: Waste that occurs at a specific operation within the production process, highlighting problems at that stage.
  • Component Scrap: Defects in individual components or parts before they reach the assembly stage, indicating quality control or supplier issues.
