R31426 - Material Usage Variances Report

The report contains these elements:

• The standard units required on a work order.

• The actual units consumed.

• The variance between the two in both units and cost.

The system performs these calculations:

• The standard units are the parent quantity specified on the work order or the quantity of the component specified on the work order parts list.

  When the work order is completed (status 99), the report lists the work order quantity completed, rather than the original parent quantity ordered.

• The variance percentage results from the actual units or amounts divided by the standard units or amounts.

  The variance percentage provides an accuracy value. For example, an accuracy value of 100.00 indicates that the planned quantity or amount was the same as the actual quantity or amount used.
