Dear Community

Happy New to you all.

I have quick question on posting control M180 - can someone please whats the difference between M180 to posting control M120/121

as the posting from M180 are currently getting posted to 41004 -Standard Cost Variance, just need to understand why, should this get posted to material usage variance 41001 ?

 

Look forward in hearing from you.

 

Thanking you in advance

Kind regards

Hi, 

These are different types of transactions relating to different processes.  

The M180 is Increased Material Cost at Return/Scrap for Credit to Supplier

The related business event description is Return to Supplier - Value Decrease.  This is a purchasing related transaction. 

The M120 is related to a shop order process where a manufacturing variance is reported. The expected direct material cost was different as compared to the actual direct material cost. This is a shop order related transaction. 

From a Finance perspective, it is your choice to have these postings go to a given account number.  In GL you will always see the account string used for the posting, and you will also see the posting type (as trans code). 

Best regards,
