What’s happening?
The customer is experiencing difficulties in visualizing and separating purchase price variance and charge variance in the ledger for purchase orders.
Reason:
The system is designed such that purchase price variance and charge variance cannot be set up separately in the main account. This is a posting issue to the general ledger from invoice posting.
Resolution:
- For a purchase order, set the standard cost of the item to $11 and the standard charge to $4.
- When the purchase order is $10 and the charge is $3, this results in favorable purchase price and charge variance.
- It has been confirmed that the ledger for posting type includes both purchase price variance and charge variance together, with no option to separate them.
- If a workaround is needed to separate the variances into different main accounts or general ledgers, further investigation into setup or program design issues may be required.
