Dear PM Experts,
I am facing a problem with the planned cost of the refurbishment maintenance order vs the actual cost.
As you know, as a planned cost, we have Labor, Spare parts cost, Service cost which depends on the data inside the maintenance order. for the actual cost, we have Labor (depend on the actual work), Spare parts (Depends on the actual goods issue) & Service (Depend on the service entry sheet), and finally we have the Goods receipt cost (The cost of the returned spare part into the warehouse with the new valuation type).
The problem is the cost of the returned spare part is calculated in the actual cost only and not in the actual cost as well which will affect the variance between planned and actual cost in MCI4 & MCI8 reports.
As per the photo below, you can see that the planned cost will be (11.5 + 1.15 + 1599.57 = 1612.22) , and the actual cost will be (11.5 + 1599.57 -1437.15 = 173.92) which shows a non actual variance.
So, is there a way to make the cost of spare parts return to appear as a planned cost.
Thanks and BR,
Mohammad Abdelrahman
