Actual operation rates

The Process Hours using field in the Production Order Parameters (tisfc0100s000) session can have the following settings:

  • Actual Man and Machine Rates
    The labor and machine costs are booked using the actual operation rates. If the employee's operation rate differs from the estimated operation rate, price variance postings occur.
  • Estimated Operation Rates
    The labor and machine costs are booked using the estimated values. The used cost components are specified in the Operation Rates (ticpr1150m000) session.

If you select Estimated Operation Rates, the number of price variance postings is reduced. However, if in the Operation Rates (ticpr1150m000) session several cost components are specified for the same operation cost type ( Labor, Machine, Machine Overhead, or Labor Overhead), additional postings occur.
