3410392 - Target cost showing differently between cost analysis and production cost analysis

Symptom

You are working with BEI scenario. After variance calculation, you found the target cost shown in Display Production Order - Menu - Goto - Cost Analysis is different with the value shown in app Production Cost Analysis.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Cause

There is slight different calculation between the 2 apps. The reason is that for Production Cost Analysis, it's redesigned app.
There could be rounding difference happen.

Example:

Production Order 10000001

Actual Output Quantity = 43.5 kg

Output Material for the order: FG001

Costing Lot Size for the Standard Cost Estimate of FG001 = 1kg

Component Material RAW001

Component Quantity for RAW001 in Standard Cost Estimate = 0.003 kg

Value for RAW001 in Standard Cost Estimate = 5.31 EUR

Standard Price for RAW001 = 1769.91 EUR/kg

Target Cost for RAW001:

Calculation for Display Production Order - Cost Analysis:

Target Quantity = Actual Output Quantity x Component Quantity for RAW001 in Standard Cost Estimate = 43.5 x 0.003 = 0.1305 ≈ 0.131
Target Cost = Standard Price for RAW001 x Target Quantity = 1769.91*0.131 = 231.85821 ≈ 231.86

Calculation for app Production Cost Analysis:

Target Cost = Value for RAW001 in Standard Cost Estimate x Actual Output Quantity = 5.31 * 43.5 = 230.985 ≈ 230.99

Resolution

The difference is only on the calculation sequence.

Suggest you to follow the result in app Production Cost Analysis.
