Understanding the Lean Production Cost Inquiry Program
The Production Cost Inquiry program displays the costs and variances that are associated with transactions. Orderless-production cost inquiries track costs and variances that are the same as manufacturing accounting.
Processes use this sequence:
Run the Items Completions program (PF31011).
Run the Transaction Management program (PF31014).
On the Review or Reverse Transaction form, find and select a record, and click the Production Cost Inquiry button.
The Product Cost Inquiry program enables you to review standard and current costs from the completion.
Run the Lean Accounting - Manufacturing Accounting program (RF31200), which enables you to review the planned, actual, completed, and scrapped costs.
Run the Product Cost Inquiry program again, and the system displays costs, units, and variances corresponding to the data that you entered in the previous steps.
If at this point you run the Lean Variances Journal Entries program (RF31210), and then the Product Cost Inquiry program, the variances do not appear on the Product Cost Inquiry form.
The absence of variances indicates that the variances have been run, and no new transactions have been added.
The system retains the variances in the Lean Transaction Production Costs table (FF31200) so that if you need to reverse a transaction, the variance values are available for the reversal journal entries.
