Planned-actual comparison<br />

A planned-actual comparison can be used as a tool for a cost efficiency<br />

check. The planned-actual comparison should be used if planned costs<br />

are used but no activity base and the use of target costs is not wanted.<br />

Target-actual comparison<br />

As an alternative to the planned-actual comparison, the target-actual<br />

comparison is available which assumes that the actual and planned<br />

activity base values are available. Only then can target costs be<br />

calculated and a target-actual comparison be generated.<br />

3.13.3. Planned consolidation for cost type/EDS fields<br />

In the case of cost types EDS fields for consolidation cost centers or<br />

objects there are now, in addition to the actual costs, the fixed and<br />

proportional planned costs, the target costs and the absolute and relative<br />

target/actual variance available.<br />

The costs are available as cumulated values<br />

and are displayed in the following objects:<br />

• EDS<br />

• Computation rule<br />

• Cost type<br />

• Cost center<br />

• Cost object<br />

In the cost accounting configuration in "Calculation of planned<br />

consolidation" you can configure on which basis the calculation of<br />

cumulated costs is to be carried out.<br />

The following variants are allowed:<br />

• No consolidation<br />

• Based on postable cost elements<br />

• Based on postable and consolidated cost elements<br />

3.13.4. Computation rule<br />

The values of cost types can be calculated and outputted by means of<br />

computation rules. Computation rules can also be used for the<br />

generation of evaluations and in EDS. Various calculation types are<br />

available in computation rules.<br />

The actual, planned and target transaction figures of each cost type are<br />

contained in computation rules. The transaction figures will always be upto-date<br />

because they are calculated when the screen is opened and recalculated<br />

whenever the period or the cost center/cost object in the<br />

screen is edited.<br />
