Production Cost Variance Report
Application Overview
The Production Cost Variance Report prints the cost variance between planned cost and actual production cost for selected items. Planned production cost is calculated based on the routing for each work order, while the actual production cost is gathered through reporting. The report provides the scrap percentage for each selected item.
The report can be sorted by item, product category, customer or job. When sorted by item, you can print a summary or the order detail of each item. When sorted by product category, you can print the category summary, item summary or order detail for each selected item. If work orders were copied from COP and you want to know the production cost variance for each customer, you can sort the report by customer. If you use job numbers for work orders, you can print cost variance by job number.
The report only includes completed production work orders and you can select orders by complete date, location, work order number, parent item number, product category, customer number and job number.

Exception Report
Application Overview
The Exception Report prints all exception records. Exception records are created when the user performs exception handling functions. These functions can be modifying time clock data, canceling a production, reassigning a job or changing a routing.
Each exception record has a severity level ranging from zero, for the least severe, to nine, for the most severe, and is assigned based on the impact to the system. For example, changing time clock data where the time has already been distributed to a posted production transaction would create a data integrity issue and the system will assign 9, the highest severity level, to this exception record.

(Figure 75) Exception Report
[1] A production for more than one work order is called Batch Production.
[2] If “S” appears on the right side of each line, the production has been suspended. If an asterisk “*” appears to the right of the actual labor hours, the actual labor hours have exceeded the plan hours.
[3] Hour variance may not be available and “N/A” will be displayed if the operation statistics are estimated.
[4] If “U” appears to the right of the order number, this production has not yet been posted.
[5] Report Quantity includes completed quantity and scrapped quantity.
[6] If more than one operator worked on the production, the system will display “(Multiple)” instead of the operator ID.
[7] Direct Labor is labor of a worker who is directly in charge of the orders. This labor should be reported at the start and end of the production. Shared Labor is labor of a worker who works in one work center or department, but does not report any order related information.
