BOM-Inventory Cost Comparison

You use this program to identify differences between the standard bill of materials cost (i.e. material, labor, and overheads) and the current Inventory cost of stock items currently defined.

Report Options

Field Description
Costing by warehouse This option is only enabled if you selected the setup option: Apply warehouse BOM costs (Inventory Setup).
Use BOM costs from warehouse Select this to compare the standard bill of materials cost and the current BOM costs defined against the warehouse (Inventory Warehouse Maintenance for Stock Code) and not the BOM costs defined against the stock code (Stock Codes).

Selection criteria

Field Description
Stock code selection Indicate a selective range of stock code(s) according to which you want to print the report.
Warehouse selection

Indicate a selective range of warehouse(s) according to which you want to select stock items for printing on the report.

[Note]

The Inventory warehouse to use of each stock code selected is checked against the warehouse selection made here when Costing per warehouse is not enabled (Inventory Setup).

If Costing per warehouse is enabled and the option: Use BOM costs from warehouse is selected, then the warehouses against each stock code selected are checked against the warehouse selection made here.

Percentage variance selection

Indicate the variance percentage(s) according to which you want to select stock items for printing on the report.

This is the percentage variance between the standard bill of materials cost and the inventory cost.

Output Options

These options enable you to apply a theme to the report and to define multiple output destinations for the report once it has been compiled (SRS Output Options).

Notes and warnings

Prerequisites

  • You typically use the BOM-Inventory Cost Comparison report before using the Transfer BOM Costs to Warehouse Costs program, to determine the effects of updating inventory costs with BOM costs.

Coding considerations

  • If the option: Warn about incomplete cost implosion is enabled (Bill of Materials Setup) then the message: BOM costs may be incorrect due to last implosion run. OK to continue? is displayed if the Cost Implosion was not run for all stock codes and warehouses. This merely indicates that the costs of the excluded items may not be correct.
