Fig. 02 - Report Criteria for the Outlet Variance report
Fields | Description |
Select Outlet | All outlets available for selection for the report. Note: only outlets marked as Perpetual may be selected, as defined in Property>Setup>Location>Outlet. |
Reporting Period | All period inventories that have been opened and closed. |
Start / End Date | Pre-filled fields based on the open and close dates of the period inventory. |
On hand Cost | With Original Transactions: generates the report with the original price for the product/recipe during the transaction. Sum of All Transaction Costs. Note: including zero cost transactions. With Average Cost: generates the report with an average price if there were several transactions with different prices.
|
Recipe Cost | Transaction prices: generates the report with the cost of the recipe during the transaction. ($10) Recost recipe prices: generates the report with the cost of the recipe before the recost job has run on the server. ($15) Last Costed Recipe Cost: generates the report with the cost of the recipe after the recost job has run on the server. ($20) For example, a recipe is transferred from the Storeroom to an outlet and at the moment of transaction the recipe cost was $10. Then the price of ingredients was changed so that the recipe cost became $15; this was recosted in the system using a job running on the server. Later on, the price of ingredients was changed to make recipe cost $20 (but the job has not run on the server yet). |
Preliminary | When enabled, the period selection will be limited to the current inventory period. Note: this option is available only when inventory is in progress. |
