Job View - Single Level

The Single Level Job View is the traditional look at your Job Costing Data.  This view analyzes your Job Cost data on a Job by Job basis, similar to M2M.  This view is generally favored by the Make to Stock manufacturer.  However, unlike M2M, this view provides all relevant Job Information (Costs, Performance, and Production data) at your fingertips.  In addition, all of the detailed Costing transactions are available through the accompanying drill down functions.  As with all Cost Calculator views, the columns can be easily change to fit the task at hand. [Available Columns]

Job Level features

• Trend Analysis: Easily see the trend of Jobs overtime.  Compare the Estimates to the Actuals, the Actuals to the Standards, and the Actuals to the Calculated Actual.  Summarize by Product Class, by Part No or many other ways.  A Performance Indicator can be established to highlight your exceptions, filtering out the Jobs outside your established parameters.

• Track Job Performance: See the Average Lead Time, the % On-time, and the Average Days Late for a Part over the last 6 months; Or Analyze the Scrap % of a Part or a Product Class, or any number groupings, over time.

• Month End Preparation: Easily display all of the Jobs Completed during the Month (ie. Which may need to be Closed).  Set your Columns to shoe the Job Quantity, the Completed Quantity, and the Quantity Moved to Inventory or Shipped.  In addition, add the Standard Cost, the Estimate Cost and the Actual Cost columns.  Now set a Performance Indicator on to show where the Actual Costs are greater or less than 10%, and do the same for the Completed Quantities and the Moved to Inventory Quantities.  You now have a list of Jobs which need to be reviewed prior to closing them.

Drill Down Functions

Material View - Drill down to all Material required and used on the Job.

• Actual vs Estimate: Easily compare the Estimated Quantities and Amounts to the Actual Quantities and Amounts used.  Performance Indicators allow you to easily highlight the discrepancies. 

• Estimate to Complete: Ability to filter this view to only show the remaining material and costs.

• Material Status: Shows whether the components have been issued.  If it is a Buy Item, then the PO# will be shown (if created) and the status of Committed, Received or Invoiced will be displayed, depending the status of each PO.  This now provides the 'inventory" visibility on Buy Items which is lacking in M2M.

• Purchasing View: If enabled, drill down to the PO View for any component listed in the BOM.

Labor View - Drill down to all Labor required and posted to the Job.

• Actual vs Estimate: Easily compare the Actual hours and costs posted against the Estimates.  Again you can set Performance Indicators to highlight the discrepancies.

• Estimate to Complete: Again, easily filter to show just the hours remaining on a Job.

• Workcenter Groupings: Easily filter for one or multiple Workcenters.  This provides visibility into the hours and costs for a group of workcenters (say multiple Engineering Workcenters).

• Actual vs Estimate: Compare the Estimated Sub-Contract costs against the Actual costs.

• Sub-Contract Operation Status: Gain the visibility into where you Sub-Contacted parts are (not started, shipped, received, and/or Invoiced from the vendor.
