Planned Cost Differs from Actual Cost Question : I have a problem.

I have a standard activity which the price is $1 / hr. I have createda project in which a activity has a planned hr of qty 1. But my planned cost comes in as '$0.83'.But when I comfirm my activity, the actual cost comes in as '$1'.Why is my planned cost differing? What is the cause of the $0.83 instead of $1. Where can icheck and change this. Answer : I guess that you use different costing (and valuation) variants. so the system mightvaluate plan and actuals differently. Question : Where and how do i control it? Answer : In the network header are two fields: one for the plan costing variant and one for theactual costing variant.You maintain the costing variants in the customizing: PS -> Costs -> Planned Costs ->AutomaticCosting in Networks -> Costing -> Define Costing Variants. Display the costing variant and jump to the valuation variant. There you find how the determines the costs. Validations in PS Question : I am trying to use validation in the Project.
