Variance calculation - System picking orders created in subsequent period

[Former Member]

When Variance calculation is run for a period (say 12/2014), system is picking orders created subsequently (say 1/2015).  System does not calculate variances, but throws up errors as such as ‘order does not have status ‘DLV’ or ‘TECO’.  Is it normal system behavior? Is there a way, we can exclude the orders which were not created as at the end of the period for which variance transaction is run?

Period is correctly given (12/2014). But, system is showing errors relating to orders created in 1/2015 as well. My question is, why orders created in 1/2015 are picked?

Thanks

Hi

See the release date of that orders...may be created before 1/2015 but you should release on 1/1/2015 otherwise if released status is before 1/1/2015 it will pick in 12/2014

Hi

To some extent I agree with Kamal. Seems that in your order, settlement rule  'PER' is set hence orders released in Dec but further processed in Jan are coming in variance calculation of Dec.

Usually for orders settlement rule should be 'FUL'. You can change this in 'Define Cost-Accounting-Relevant Default Values for Order Types and Plants' for your plant and order types.

Hi,

You have to suppose to run the variance calculation on 1st day of the month. But you have to run too late. So at the time variance calculation system will check the status for the orders. Due to this it is throwing error.
