The standard report 'Result per Customer based on Production Order' shows the pre-calculation and actual cost amounts and times of all production orders that have been reported financially ready in the current selected fiscal year. It provides a breakdown by material, operations, and outsourcing. The report is grouped by customer.

The standard report 'PC-AC Production Orders' provides a detailed overview of production orders, including a comparison of pre-calculation and actual costs. For each order, data is displayed on items, quantities, material usage, operations, outsourcing, man-hours, and machine-hours. The report shows both pre-calculation and actual costs, including deviations per cost type. This provides insight into actual performance compared to expectations, including PC-AC factors and deviation amounts, sorted by production order and production group.

The standard dashboard 'PC-AC Employee Hours' provides insight into the PC-AC ratio per employee based on the AC hours. The lower the AC relative to the PC, the better the efficiency.

This article describes the administration settings on the 'General' tab. On this tab, you will find the settings for 'Registration default based on', 'Entering hours', 'Processing hours', 'Holidays', and 'Operations'.

Production locations allow production order lines and processed material to be traced during the production process. A production employee always knows where the semi-finished products and/or processed material have been placed after the previous processing.

For the benefit of production locations, the Inventory List contains a Pick-up List and a Drop List. This article provides an explanation of both lists, with a focus on the status of the production location.

With the standard dashboard 'PC-AC hours', it is possible to analyze how the pre- and post-calculation hours of production relate to each other based on different categories. By looking at the number of orders not linked to pre-calculations, it is also possible to check how well hours are recorded.

In the standard dashboard 'PC-AC Overview per Production Order', the preliminary and final calculation values are compared based on the selected pricing system. This provides quick insight into the result of the production order and how it is achieved.

The standard dashboard 'PC-AC Analysis (Financially Ready)' displays all production orders that have been marked as financially ready and are historical. Based on this, the pre-calculation and actual costs can be compared.

A material list is used as a selection method to, for example, build cutting lists. This way, a material preliminary calculation line can have a material list checked.

The pre-costing is the pre-made cost and time calculation of a production order or project, based on standards and planned quantities. The goal is to estimate the required materials, labor, machine hours, and costs before the start of production.
