PPV Report - Variance GL acct

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2,438

Hi All, 

When the Item Price is set up, D365 sees the Item Price as Standard Cost, correct?  When you post the PO, if the actual price in the PO is higher than the Standard Cost, D365 will debit the variance GL account.  For example, if the Standard Cost for item A is $100, The actual price in the PO is $105.  Then, D365 will post $5 to the Variance account. 

Inventory   $100 

Variance     $5

AP                         $105.

If I were to run a variance report, I would run a Trial Balance using the GL Variance account?  If I want to track the variance per item, how do I do that? I'm thinking to add a segment called ITEM in the Account Structure.  So that when the transaction is posted, I have the item data..  Then I can run a trial balance filter variance GL account and Item dimension.  Please suggest if there is a better solution.  I can't seem to find a PPV Report out of the box.  Thanks so much!

    Hi Kim,

    I am a big fan of the additional segment (findim) for the item.

    Yet, I had some discussions with some people inside of MS who are not very much in favor of that because you will create a lot of additional transactions compared to not using this findim.

    Irrespective of that, you can check out the variance analysis statement report in the cost management module. This one gives you some insights as well.

    I am not a fan of that one but maybe you will like it and can avoid using a new findim?!

    Best regards,

    Ludwig
