fact: Oracle Cost Management 11.5.8
fact: CSTFQWVS - WIP Value Summary
symptom: All Resource And Overhead Variances Charged To Material Variance
Account
symptom: All PREVIOUS level variances are added and charged to material
variance
account
cause: If account summarization is switched on then cost elements having
same valuation account will be merged in one line only.
Cost Transfer and Distribution to the General Ledger
All costs are maintained by cost element. If you assign a different
account to each cost element as you define your sub inventories and
WIP accounting classes (if you use Work in Process), elemental account
visibility is maintained when transactions are processed.
If you are using standard costing and assign the same account to more
than one cost element, you can choose to have the values of these costs
elements summarized before being transferred to General Ledger by
setting the CST:Account Summarization profile option to Yes. You can
also choose to have elemental visibility maintained by setting the
CST:Account Summarization profile option to No. If you are using
average costing, elemental visibility is maintained regardless of how this
profile option is set.
If the issue is related to variance lines, all previous level variances go
against material variance line only. That's how it is designed.
