This function is used to compare two costs according to several criteria.
For instance: comparison between a revised standard cost for a given year and another revised standard cost for any basic product, or for products in a selection.

General principle

First cost - Second cost

These two fields are used to enter the information relating to the two costs to be compared.

Start/End ranges

This block is used to enter the start and end selection criteria.

Variances

The criteria selected in this field are used to filter the submitted products based on variances (in percentage or amount) between the two costs. For instance, it is possible to only display on the report material variances larger than or equal to 5%
If these fields are left blank, the system will not filter the results and it will display all the information found.

Display

The selected criteria in this field are used to specify whether the cost sub-groups should be displayed or not.

Entry screen

Fields

The following fields are present on this tab :

First cost

Enter or select a storage site at which the selected product is active.

The Selection icon (magnifying glass) only suggests products that are referenced in the products-sites table.
  • Cost type (field CSTTYP1)

Cost type to choose from "Standard", "Revised", "Budget", "Simulated".
  • Validity start date (field DAT1)

This field is used to enter the validity start date.

Second cost

Enter or select a storage site at which the selected product is active.

The Selection icon (magnifying glass) only suggests products that are referenced in the products-sites table.
  • Cost type (field CSTTYP2)

Cost type to choose from 'Standard', 'Revised', 'Budget', 'Simulated'.
For an updated or simulated cost, the date must be entered or the Calculation date field selected.
  • Validity start date (field DAT2)

This field is used to enter the validity start date.

Start - end range

The product categories are used to classify and filter the products according to their use. This step makes it possible to refine the selection prior to carrying out the adjustment process. This code is specified in the Product record to enable selections.

 

Enter the selection start product number. The product ranges limit the adjustment to these products only.

Enter the selection end product number.

Start range of the valuation methods that must be applied to the products to be selected for the report.

End range of the valuation methods that must be applied to the products to be selected for the report.

The start buyer allowing the selection of the entries to be processed.

The end buyer allowing the selection of the entries to be processed.

This is the product statistical group code, which is composed of three alphanumerical characters to be entered for a chosen group. It is associated with a specific description.

Specific Buttons

The following fields are included on the window opened through this button :

  • Memo code (field CODE)

You use a memo code to save the criteria applied to an entry screen. Use this field to find out if a memo code has already been saved for the current screen values.

Use the following buttons to manage memos:

Recall: Recall a previously defined and saved memo.

Memo: Save the current values of the screen in a memo file with a code to be specified.

Del. Memo: Delete a previously saved memo.

If a memo named STD (standard) is associated with the screen, it is loaded when opening the function.

Close

This button is used to save a memo from the screen.
