Non production over head in a production department can be any person who does not directly produce the goods. Maintenance personnel, supervisors, quality inspectors, they all work on the production floor, but do not produce goods.
Overhead is applied at start of production to calculate the cost of goods manufactured and to determine the total cost and profit as well.
Production overhead are overhead items necessary to produce your product or service, such as the square footage necessary to house your production equipment and area. Non-production overhead will include items not directly related to production, such as advertising & garbage collection, for example.
Combined overhead variance = fixed overhead variance + variable overhead varianceFixed Overhead :which remains fixed and donot change upto certain level of productionVariable Overhead: which keep changing with the change in production units.
The absorbed overhead is part of the production cost of the cost units and therefore it is debited to the work-in-progress control account together with the direct materials, direct labour and any direct expenses incurred, to give the total production cost for the period. The credit entry is the production overhead control account which will have been debited with the actual overhead incuured. Any balance on the production overhead control account is the transfer to the income statement as under or over-absorbed overhead.

You take estimated overhead divided by the estimated level of production activity. It is used to assign overhead to production.
Factory overheads are incurred only and only due to production of the goods. That is why the factory overhead cost is applied to production.
Production overhead is any cost incurred in order to create a product. This usually includes: rent, utilities, equipment, maintenance and labor. Sometimes raw materials and scrap are also classified as overhead.

Fixed overhead budgeted variance is the difference between estimated budgeted cost and actual fixed overhead cost of production.

actual foh is the overhead expenses actually incurred on production while applied foh is budgeted overhead expenses for budgeted production.
Costing sheets in SAP determine how cost estimates calculate overhead costs.
Using direct labor hours: Overhead rate = Total Overhead Expenses /Direct labor hours Using Machine hours: Overhead rate = Total Overhead Expenses /Machine hours
