SAP中有關(guān)差異的一些概念

1.SAP關(guān)于成本的概念2.差異的計(jì)算方法.3.實(shí)際成本計(jì)算方法4.SAPvariance成本的概念標(biāo)準(zhǔn)成本=標(biāo)準(zhǔn)價(jià)格*標(biāo)準(zhǔn)數(shù)量+作業(yè)價(jià)格*標(biāo)準(zhǔn)數(shù)量計(jì)劃成本=計(jì)劃價(jià)格*計(jì)劃數(shù)量+作業(yè)價(jià)格*計(jì)劃數(shù)量實(shí)際成本=實(shí)際價(jià)格*實(shí)際數(shù)量+作業(yè)價(jià)格*實(shí)際數(shù)量目標(biāo)成本=標(biāo)準(zhǔn)價(jià)格*實(shí)際數(shù)量+作業(yè)價(jià)格*實(shí)際數(shù)量注意在SAP中目標(biāo)成本根據(jù)生產(chǎn)訂單中產(chǎn)品成本評(píng)估時(shí)的價(jià)格乘以生產(chǎn)訂單完工入庫(kù)量乘以BOM用量的積.計(jì)劃成本為生產(chǎn)訂單計(jì)劃生產(chǎn)量乘BOM用量乘計(jì)劃生產(chǎn)變式中定義的價(jià)格.計(jì)劃成本即企業(yè)成本計(jì)劃時(shí)使用的成本，是企業(yè)全部計(jì)劃的一部分。計(jì)劃成本同目標(biāo)成本的差別是：目標(biāo)成本是成本控制的需要，計(jì)劃成本是企業(yè)全面預(yù)算和計(jì)劃控制的需要。計(jì)劃成本的核算時(shí)間為計(jì)劃訂單產(chǎn)生時(shí)，當(dāng)您保存訂單時(shí)已計(jì)劃成本會(huì)自動(dòng)計(jì)算，如果您做出的更改與成本核算有關(guān)，則在您保存訂單時(shí)，會(huì)重新計(jì)算已計(jì)劃成本。想更新已計(jì)劃成本，選擇訂單功能計(jì)算成本。要顯示預(yù)計(jì)成本，選擇轉(zhuǎn)向成本分析。差異分算標(biāo)準(zhǔn)改訂差（本期標(biāo)準(zhǔn)成本－前期標(biāo)準(zhǔn)成本）*前期期末庫(kù)存數(shù)量采購(gòu)價(jià)差（PO單價(jià)－本期標(biāo)準(zhǔn)成本）*匯率*本次入庫(kù)數(shù)量我認(rèn)為應(yīng)該是這樣的：（PO單價(jià)*匯率－本期標(biāo)準(zhǔn)成本）*本次入庫(kù)數(shù)量應(yīng)付立帳（IV）（價(jià)格差異IPV）（發(fā)票金額－PO金額）*匯率結(jié)報(bào)匯差（本期匯率－前期匯率）*結(jié)報(bào)外幣金額工單差異（材料用量差異，工費(fèi)效率差異）工單實(shí)際投入金額－工單實(shí)際產(chǎn)出金額跨工廠物料異動(dòng)差異（轉(zhuǎn)出工廠標(biāo)準(zhǔn)成本－轉(zhuǎn)入工廠標(biāo)準(zhǔn)成本）*本次轉(zhuǎn)撥數(shù)量物料帳差異；PriceDifferent（價(jià)差）：僅指匯率差以外的差異，包括采購(gòu)價(jià)差，標(biāo)準(zhǔn)改訂差，工單差異，工廠轉(zhuǎn)撥差異等ExchangeDifferent（匯差）：采購(gòu)結(jié)報(bào)時(shí)的匯率差異Single-LevelDifferent（單階差異）：僅指本身所產(chǎn)生的差異Multi-LevelDifferent（多階差異）；僅指來(lái)自下階料號(hào)的差異SAP料號(hào)差異合計(jì)=料號(hào)起初差異+來(lái)自下階的差+標(biāo)準(zhǔn)改訂差+米購(gòu)差異+結(jié)報(bào)價(jià)差+結(jié)報(bào)匯差+工單差異＋跨工廠物料異動(dòng)差異分?jǐn)偅浩谀?kù)存差異數(shù)轉(zhuǎn)至其他料件差異數(shù)分?jǐn)傊龄N(xiāo)貨成本差異數(shù)實(shí)際成本計(jì)算方法在生產(chǎn)訂單中實(shí)際成本的計(jì)算如下：1、直接材料成本：是為生產(chǎn)訂單直接領(lǐng)用的物料的成本，等于本張訂單領(lǐng)用物料的數(shù)量乘以此物料主數(shù)據(jù)中的價(jià)格，數(shù)據(jù)來(lái)源為MM模塊；2、直接人工費(fèi)：等于本張訂單耗用的實(shí)際工時(shí)乘以本產(chǎn)品的單位小時(shí)人工費(fèi)率，實(shí)際工時(shí)在訂單確認(rèn)時(shí)輸入，單位小時(shí)人工費(fèi)率來(lái)自于作業(yè)價(jià)格，通過(guò)工藝路線中的工作中心計(jì)算得出，其貸方為對(duì)應(yīng)的成本中心；3、制造費(fèi)用：等于本張訂單耗用的實(shí)際工時(shí)乘以本產(chǎn)品的單位小時(shí)制造費(fèi)費(fèi)率，實(shí)際工時(shí)在訂單確認(rèn)時(shí)輸入，單位小時(shí)制造費(fèi)費(fèi)率來(lái)自于作業(yè)價(jià)格，通過(guò)工藝路線中的工作中心計(jì)算得出，其貸方為對(duì)應(yīng)的成本中心。實(shí)際成本同目標(biāo)成本對(duì)比計(jì)算差異，以進(jìn)行成本控制。4.sapvariancesVariancesontheinputside:ScrapvariancesYouspecifywhetherscrapvariancesarecalculatedinthestepDefineVarianceKeys.Youcontrolwhetherscrapvariancesaredisplayedbyselectingtheindicatorforscrapvariancesinthevariancevariant.Thisenablesyoutocontrolthedisplayofscraporthedeductionofthescrapfromtheactualcostsseparatelyforeachvariancevariant;youcanalsocontrolthisseparatelyforeachvariancevariantbyassigningthevariancevarianttoatargetcostversion.Example:Youhavespecifiedinthevariancekeythatscrapvariancesaretobecalculated.Intargetcostversion0,youareusingvariancevariant001.Thescrapvariancesareturnedoninvariancevariant001.Intargetcostversion3,youareusingvariancevariant999.Thescrapvariancesareturnedoffinvariancevariant999.IntheValuationVariantforWorkinProcessandScrap(TargetCosts),youcanspecifywhichcostestimateisusedasabasisforcalculatingthetargetcostsforthevaluationofthescrapvariances.Youspecifythisvaluationvariantforscrapintargetcostversion0.Scrapvariancesarecalculatedinalltargetcostversionsinaccordancewiththevaluationvariantspecifiedintargetcostversion0.InputpricevariancesInputpricevariancesarethedifferencesbetweentheplannedpricesandtheactualpricesoftheresourcesused.Ifthisindicatorisset,youshouldmakesurethat:TheMaterialoriginindicatorissetinthecostingviewofthemasterrecordofcost-criticalmaterialsTheRecordquantityindicatorissetinallrelevantcostelementsInputquantityvariancesInputquantityvariancesaredifferencesbetweentheplannedandactualinputquantitiesoftheresources.Ifthisindicatorisset,youshouldmakesurethat:TheMaterialoriginindicatorissetinthecostingviewofthemasterrecordofcost-criticalmaterialsTheRecordquantityindicatorissetinallrelevantcostelementsResource-usagevariancesAresource-usagevarianceariseswhenadifferentresourceisusedthanwasplanned.RemaininginputvariancesRemaininginputvariancesaredifferencesontheinputsidethatcannotbeassignedtoanyothervariancecategoryontheinputside(suchasoverhead).Variancesontheoutputside:LotsizevariancesLotsizevariancesaredifferencesbetweentheplannedfixedcostsandthechargedfixedactualcosts.Lotsizevariancescanonlybecalculatedfortargetcostversion0.OutputpricevariancesOutputpricevariancesaredifferencesbetweenthetargetcredit(atthestandardprice)andtheactualcredit(forexampleatthemovingaverageprice).Mixed-pricevariancesIfyouvaluateyourinventorieswithmixedprices,mixed-pricevariancesmayresultifthestandardpricecalculatedonthebasisofthemixedcostestimateisnotthesameasthetargetcostoftheprocurementalternative.Example:Supposethestandardpriceforamaterialwascalculatedinamixedcostestimate.ThematerialhaspricecontrolindicatorS,whichmeansthatthegoodsreceiptsarevaluatedatthestandardpriceandtheord
