Note Language: English Version: 1 Validity: Valid Since 11.09.2001
Summary
SymptomCan internal activity allocations be performed using only the variableportion of the activity price for the activity type?
Additional key words
Cause and prerequisites
SolutionFor Releases previous to 3.0E, the fixed and variable cost portion of theactivity prices were considered. This led to variances based on the fixedcost portion when, for example, you confirmed a run schedule header to thestandard.
From Release 3.0E, you can perform internal activity allocations using onlythe variable portion of the activity prices, so long as this was defined inCustomizing under the following menu path:Controlling => Product Cost Controlling => Product Cost Planning => BasicSettings for Costing Materials => Define Cost Components
By choosing "Cost components with attributes" and "Details" you canindicate just the variable portion of the activity types as relevant tostock valuation for the cost components.
This means that with internal activity allocations, even when theyoccurduring a confirmation, the relevant cost centers are credited onlywith the variable portion of the activity prices of the activity type. Thefixed portion of the activity price for the activity type remains on thecost centers, and can be passed to Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) at theperiod end through assessment. The variable sales production costs arepassed to CO-PA via a billing document. You can pass the variances betweenthe standard production costs and the actual production costs from CostObject Controlling to CO-PA at the period end.
