The Discrete Job Value Report - Standard Costing assists you in analyzing your standard discrete jobs and non-standard asset jobs in a standard costing organization. You can submit the WIP Value Report before submitting this report to review total variances and charges for your jobs. Then, you can submit this report to analyze a summary of the transactions behind the charges and variances for each job.
This report includes summarized information on all cost transactions including material, resource, move and resource-based overheads, scraps, completions, and job close variances. The report also lists period-to-date and cumulative-to-date summary information, as well as complete job header information.
You can list information for a group of jobs by specifying a job name range, an accounting class range, an assembly range, and/or a particular job status. Costs are grouped and subtotalled by transaction type.
This report provides you with all the information you need to reconcile your standard and non-standard asset jobs before closing them.
Note: This report does not include expense non-standard jobs. Use the Expense Job Value Report to analyze expense non-standard jobs.
In the Submit Requests window, select Discrete Job Value Report - Standard Costing in the Name field.
You can optionally print this report when you close asset non-standard and standard discrete jobs using the Close Discrete Jobs (Form) or Close Discrete Jobs (SRS) window. This is done by choosing any Report Type option other than No Report. The report is printed after the close process computes job close variances.
See: Closing Discrete Jobs and Closing Discrete Jobs Using Submit Requests.
Choose one of the following options:
| Assembly, Job | Sort by assembly and then by job within the assembly. |
| Class, Assembly, Job | Sort by WIP accounting class, then by assembly within the WIP accounting class, and then by job within the assembly. |
| Job | Sort by job. This is the default. |
Choose one of the following options:
| Detail using actual completion quantity | Lists each job using the actual completion quantity of the job to calculate the material usage variance. A detail report includes the following: job header, material, resource, resource-based and move-based overhead costs, completion, scrap, and job close variance transactions. It also includes period-to-date and cumulative-to-date summary information. If you push material to a job or backflush material at operation completion and have not completed the assemblies that consumed the material, your material usage variance is overstated. If you backflush material at assembly completion, or you have completed all of the assemblies, any material usage variance is accurate. Use this option if you backflush your requirements at assembly completion, or if you have already completed most of your assemblies. |
| Detail using planned start quantity | Lists each job using the planned start quantity of the job to calculate the material usage variance. A detail report includes the following: job header, material, resource, resource-based and move-based overhead costs, completion, scrap, and job close variance transactions. It also includes period-to-date and cumulative-to-date summary information. If you have not transacted each of the items and resources required to produce your assemblies, your variances are understated (you have a favorable variance). You can use this option to analyze the total cost requirements for a job by cost element, based on your planned assembly completions. |
| Summary | Lists each job and includes job header, period-to-date summary, and cumulative-to-date summary information. The system also lists summary elemental account values for each job. |
Choose one of the following options:
| Asset non-standard | Report costs for jobs with a WIP accounting class type of asset non-standard. |
| Standard discrete | Report costs for jobs with a WIP accounting class type of standard discrete. This is the default. |
Select Yes to indicate whether to include bulk-supplied material requirements. If you have already issued to a particular bulk requirement, the system lists the requirement, regardless of what you select here. Yes is the default.
Select Yes to indicate whether to include supplier-provided material requirements. If you have already issued to a particular supplier requirement, the system lists the requirement, regardless of what you select here. Yes is the default.
To restrict the report to a range of accounting classes, select a beginning and an ending accounting class.
To restrict the report to a range of jobs, select a beginning and an ending job.
Select a status. The available options are Unreleased, Released, Complete, Complete-No Charges, On Hold, Cancelled, Closed, Pending Close, and Failed Close jobs. See: Discrete Job Statuses.
Note: If you run the Discrete Job Value Report for closed jobs and have changed your standard costs, the transaction summary information uses the latest standard cost and does not balance to the period or cumulative-to-date summaries.
To restrict the report to a range of assemblies, select a beginning and an ending assembly.
Note: For discrete jobs, any difference between the cumulative single level variances and the material usage or efficiency variance subtotals is from configuration or method variances. The cumulative-to-date summary compares the costs incurred for the job with the standard bill/routing requirements for completions out of the job. Therefore, the difference between the cumulative variances and the usage/efficiency variance is due to the difference between the standard bill/routing requirements and the work in process bill/routing requirements.
To find the configuration variance, you should compare the material usage variance with the single level material variance. To find the methods variance, you should compare the efficiency variance with its corresponding single level variance. For example, you would compare the resource efficiency variance with the single level; resource and outside processing variance added together. You would add the resource-based and move-based overhead efficiency variances and compare it with the single level overhead variance.
