Cost Variance Analysis SuiteApp Now Available

The Cost Variance Analysis SuiteApp analyzes variances during the processing of work orders. These variances are the differences between the planned values and the actual values recorded for quantity and cost in work orders.

This SuiteApp also enables you to do the following:

• Measure the performance of work orders and act toward preventing cost overruns.

• Review cost variances by work order, cost type, and operations.

The SuiteApp includes the following subtabs on the Cost Variance Analysis page:

• Component – Displays planned material costs, actual material costs, and cost and quantity variances for each work order component. You can use this information to analyze cost overruns.

• Conversion Costs– Displays cost variances for manufacturing operations. You can use the details on this subtab to understand any cost overruns that occur in any step of the manufacturing process for an item.

• Cost Category – Displays the cost breakdown and variances by cost types for a work order.

For more information, see Cost Variance Analysis.

Available To Build SuiteApp Now Available

The Available To Build SuiteApp helps manufacturers determine the number of assemblies or number of kits that they can assemble with the current available inventory. The SuiteApp evaluates both end assembly and subassembly components, allowing manufacturers to determine what they can provide to customers.

Following are the main capabilities of the Available to Build SuiteApp:

• Calculates the Available to Build (ATB) value for assembly items and kit items by considering either top level or all levels of the Bill of Materials (BOM).

• Displays ATB values for assembly items and kits details on the Sales Order page and the Item 360 SuiteApp dashboard portlets.

• The Manufacturing and Sales pages of the Item 360 dashboard display the Available to Build portlet.

• Calculates ATB for assembly items based on the item BOM revision.

• Calculates ATB for kit item using the component on-hand quantity details from the item record.

For more information, see Available To Build.
