How can I get the variances of batch recipes to affect my overall variance on the Stock Reconciliation report

Ally Clow
Maybe I am not using the batch recipe correct but I have a large, positive variance on batch recipes and the ingredients in those batch recipes have a large negative variance which balance each other out. However, the large positive variance on my batch recipes doesn't seem to be contributing to the overall variance on the Stock Reconciliation report. Can anyone help?

Hi Ally,

 

great question to ask! The first thing to consider is whether the batches are produced on site or not. I can see that all Curzon batches are all produced on site.

 

Batches produced on site

It is important to enter a closing count for these batches so that the stock holding of the constituent products is accounted for. However, the variance information against these batches on the stock reconciliation report is essentially meaningless and this is why it is ignored in the overall calculations. The variances are instead seen against the products within the batches.

The 'POS Qty' column is still useful because an abnormally large or small quantity could indicate an issue with how much of a batch has been costed within a recipe.

 

Batches NOT produced on site

In these cases, batches are handled in a similar way to a product and the variance information does affect overall variances.

 

I hope that helps,

 

Sim
