## TL;DR
Fix this in revenue variance analysis by acting on the exact problem first: rebuild the price volume mix bridge using one consistent order of effects, price on current volume, volume on prior price and mix as the residual segment shift, use the same currency and period for every component, and check the three components sum exactly to actual minus budget revenue. Do not rerun the whole workflow unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one account, period or department first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the results.

## Use this when
- The operation in revenue variance analysis fails with this exact problem: revenue variance analysis error price volume mix does not sum to total.
- The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
- A variance report, forecast, commentary or board pack step is blocked until this is resolved.

## Not for this skill when
- The notice is a platform outage from the vendor. Resolve that first, then return here if this problem remains.
- The operation completes and you only disagree with a business judgement such as the budget itself or a materiality call. That is an FP and A decision, not this failure.

## Steps
1. Reproduce the failure on one named account, period or department in revenue variance analysis and record the full problem text plus the account, period or report involved. Verify: the failure is reproduced on demand on a named scope, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this problem: rebuild the price volume mix bridge using one consistent order of effects, price on current volume, volume on prior price and mix as the residual segment shift, use the same currency and period for every component, and check the three components sum exactly to actual minus budget revenue. Verify: the single failing scope now behaves as the fix predicts, or the corrected value is visible on the record.
3. Check neighbouring accounts, periods or departments that share the same mapping, template or load, because this class of failure rarely affects only one scope. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Rerun the original operation in revenue variance analysis on the previously failing scope, watching for the same problem rather than assuming success from a quiet log. Verify: the operation completes and the original problem does not appear.
5. Compare the result against the source of truth, the GL actuals, the approved budget or the planning system record, so a silent partial success is caught. Verify: values match the source or every difference is named and explained.
6. Record the fix, the triggering input and the verification result on the report or close file so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the problem, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

## Variant phrasings

### revenue variance analysis error price volume mix does not sum to total
The verbatim form searchers paste from the console, report or run log. Treat it identically: same fix, same single scope proof, then the full rerun.

### How to fix - revenue variance analysis error price volume mix does not sum to total
The how to phrasing for the same failure in revenue variance analysis. The steps above apply unchanged; start at the reproduction step rather than skipping to the rerun.

### revenue variance analysis troubleshooting for this failure
The symptom first phrasing used when the console hides the full problem. Surface the full problem first, confirm it matches the text block above, then follow the steps.

## Why it happens
Price volume mix components only sum to the total when they are calculated in a consistent sequence from the same base, and mixing sequences double counts the interaction effect or drops it entirely.

## Edge cases
- The period was closed, the budget was reloaded or the org mapping changed after the failing run started. Refresh the scope state and reapply the fix against the current values, not the values from the failed run.
- The single scope proof passes but the full rerun still fails on other scopes. Treat each remaining failure as its own scope, because a shared load or mapping can hide more than one cause.
- The source systems disagree on the correct value. The GL governs actuals, the approved budget version governs plan figures, and the planning system governs forecast; record which source won and why.

Compatibility: revenue variance analysis at current versions, plus Power BI, Excel, Tableau, Looker, NetSuite and Adaptive Planning where the query names them; sources of truth are GL actuals and the approved budget, and no extra tooling is needed beyond access to those source records.
