Transferring Standard Cost items between sites creates unexpected ledger transactions

We have an odd issue.

We use Standard Cost as our inventory costing method.

We have a manufacturing site, where the finished good is set up with a formula and route, and where we use the Costing Version to calculated cost rollup, and activate the standard cost.

We also have a distribution site where we simply copy the cost calculated on the manufacturing site, and activate this "non calculated" standard cost.

so far simple and "boring"....

When we use a simple inventory transfer journal to move the finished good from the manufacturing site to the distribution site, instead of getting a simple "net zero" ledger transaction, we get a voucher with many lines, and with significant amounts posted into "rounding variance" and "cost change" variance accounts (even though the price is exactly the same between the two sites ?!?!)

I would have expected to get only the final 4 lines: Inventory Issue, Inventory inter-unit receivable, Inter-unit payable, Inventory Receipt.

How can I stop the other posting line from happening?
