Production Order Cost Variance Analyzer

  • Developed a custom ABAP report (ZPOVR) to analyze standard vs. planned vs. actual labor and machine costs at the operation level for production orders.
  • Integrated data from PLPO (routing), AFVV/AFRU (execution), and CKIS (costing) to build a three-way variance model with dynamic ALV layout.
  • Built and enhanced custom function module ZPP_PROD_ORD_COST to:
    Calculate standard cost per operation using VGW01–03 hours and cost center rates from COST.
    Compare against planned (AFVV) and actual (AFRU, CATSDB) confirmations.
    Flag missing or rework operations not present in the routing but executed in production.
  • Added logic to handle missing routing links, blank CKIS values, and fallback to master data while avoiding inflated standard costs.
  • Exposed key KPIs: ZSTD_COST_OP, ZSTD_TOTAL_COST, ZSTD_VAR, and ZSTD_VAR_PCT for visibility into rework, inefficiency, and labor overruns.
  • Coordinated with production planning and costing teams to validate variance logic and supported reporting rollouts via email and file export.
