Cost Variances by Cost Components

You access this report by clicking the heading of the Cost Components Actual vs. Estimated metric in the Production dashboard.

To analyze cost distribution by workcenter or by Items, click the settings button in the table heading and select Select workcenter dimension or Select Item dimension.

You can filter the report by these criteria:

  • Order completion date
  • Workcenter
  • Product
  • Cost type

By default, a bar chart and data table compare the actual values for these cost components with their planned values:

  • Material
  • Machine
  • Labor
  • Contractor
  • Burden

To select which Items or workcenters the chart represents, click a Item or workcenter in the data table and select Show in chart.

To select which cost centers to view, click the settings icon in the table heading and select Configure columns.

For each Item or workcenter selected, the data table displays the total planned and actual costs for each selected cost component, and the variance between them. The total costs and variances are also broken down by cost component.
