By placing them on the same foundation as standard unit prices and wage rates, delivery and cost discussions are connected.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the difference from actual costs?<\/h3>\n<p>Standards are a measure for planning and evaluation, while actuals are an aggregation of occurrences. To see variances, the granularity of actual data collection needs to match the planning side.<\/p>\n<h3>Can Asprova automatically calculate wage rates?<\/h3>\n<p>It is practical to calculate the unit prices, wage rates, and allocation rates from fixed cost budgets using Excel before setting them in the item table.<\/p>\n<h3>How to differentiate this article from accounting hub articles?<\/h3>\n<p>This article focuses on the connection between planned values and standards, while the accounting\/cost side focuses on calculation methods, variances, and accounts.
