Method Change Variance<br />

Method change variance (MCV), when calculated, is posted by the<br />

following transactions.<br />

• Cumulative Order Close (18.22.10)<br />

• Backflush Transaction (18.22.13)<br />

• Run Labor Transaction (18.22.14)<br />

• Setup Labor Transaction (18.22.15)<br />

• Rework Transaction (18.22.17)<br />

• Move Transaction (18.22.19)<br />

In the backflush and move transactions, MCV can be posted when<br />

moving from the output queue of the last operation to finished material<br />

inventory. MCV is calculated as the difference between the final<br />

operation cost contained in the cumulative order and the current GL<br />

standard cost of the finished material, extended by the quantity being<br />

reported.<br />

In the transactions where labor is reported, MCV can be posted when<br />

reporting at a work center other than the cumulative order operation work<br />

center. MCV is calculated as the difference between the standard labor<br />

and burden rates of the work center being reported and the standard labor<br />

and burden rates of the cumulative order operation work center, extended<br />

by the number of hours reported. This prevents charging unexpected rate<br />

variances to the work centers.<br />

In Cumulative Order Close, MCV can be posted when transferring WIP<br />

quantities to new cumulative orders. MCV is calculated as the difference<br />

between the operation cost in the former cumulative order operation and<br />

the operation cost of the future cumulative order operation, extended by<br />

the quantity transferred.<br />

Method change variances are posted only if GL standard costing is in<br />

effect for the finished item. MCV is not posted if GL average costing is in<br />

effect.
