Job Reporting

The Deacom Job Reporting pre-filter contains a number of different reports which each contain different variables and information that can be used for Job analysis. This page outlines the different reports and pre-filters that are available. For a list of the calculated variables on the Job Cost Summary, Job Cost Detail, and Production Costs reports and additional fields available to several of the reports in this section, refer to the Calculated Variables and Available Fields on Production Reports page. Some reports also allow users access to the "Custom Adds" button, which opens the Custom BOM form and is used to modify the selected item's Bill Of Materials for the selected Job only.

Understanding inventory and GL effects when issuing inventory

Issuing is the reservation of inventory Lots to a specific production Job. Deacom allows users to specifically select Lots or allows the system to automatically select the appropriate Lots based on the FIFO or LIFO concepts. The issuing of materials to a production Job occurs via the following methods:

During job creation, after the job has been saved, via the “Issue” button on the job header.
After the job has been saved via the Inventory > Issue/Reserve Inventory transaction.
After the job has been saved, via the “Issue” button on several of the report forms within Production > Job Reporting.
Within the Deacom WMS application on a scanner via the “Issue Job” transaction.
On the Jobs and Job Inventory calendars via the “Issue” button on the Daily Job Calendar form.

Additional information on the issuing process is available via the Issuing and Reserving Material Best Practice page.

The General Ledger impact when material is issued, in all costing methods, is a debit to the WIP Materials account and a credit to the Inventory account, both specified on the Item Master Accounts tab. Sample account postings related to issuing are available via Deacom Basics > Sample Accounting Postings.

From an inventory management perspective, the impact of issuing is that issued materials are placed in the WIP inventory bucket. WIP inventory is defined as known good inventory that has been issued to a specific production job, awaiting relief of issued inventory (usage). Items/lots in WIP can be de-issued and issued to a different production Job if necessary. Inventory should not remain in WIP for extended periods. The Inventory "Aged" report is useful for reviewing inventory quantities in WIP. In situations where the amount of inventory issued is greater then what was used when finishing, users may wish to de-issue the excess before closing the job. This can be accomplished via the Inventory > De-Issue/Un-Reserve function. It is important to note that excess inventory located in WIP must be de-issued before the Job is closed. If excess inventory is not de-issued, and the job is closed, a material expense variance will be reflected in the general ledger.

Performing QC testing before or during production

Significant changes were made to the QC data structure in version 14.3. Previously, the QC structure linked results directly to the job or purchase order, allowing for users to keep the "QC Values" button directly on the job. Starting with the 14.3 build, QC results are linked to lots. This provides a much more robust QC solution and has allowed the addition of many new QC features. For example, users can now do separate QC testing for each lot that is produced on a job. Because the QC results are tied to a lot, users must now go through the “Inventory” button on a job to view the lot information.

The entry of QC results before or during the production process is now handled via the "QC Values" button which is available when modifying a job, via the buttons menu in various Job reports, or on the Close/Relieve Job form, which is displayed by clicking the "Close/Relieve" button in various Job reports. The setting that determines whether QC testing will be performed during or after production is the “Do QC After Production” flag on the Quality Control Group. If this flag is not checked on the QC Group and the QC Group is attached to an item's BOM revision, then QC testing may be performed on Jobs containing that revision via the Close/Relieve form.

The Quality Control Results form provides details on all the fields and options available and is opened via the "QC Values" button as indicated above. See the Entering Production and Stability QC Test Results Best Practices page for information on how perform and and approve QC results.

Job Reporting pre-filter

Field	Description
Report Type	Pick list used to dictate the type of report that will generate. Deacom Version 16.02 includes the ability to create unlimited user versions of any job report for users with permission and also expanded the security that determines which reports each user will see in this field. See the Configuring Grid Layouts and Automated Reports and Grid Layout Security pages for information. Options are: Consumed Inventory - The report will display all finishes for jobs that meet the filter criteria, as well as the lots relieved into those finishes. Materials expensed at job close will not be included in this report. The relief and finish transactions will be in chronological order, but grouped by job. Un-finishes / Un-relieve will also show. Added in version 17.04.003. Expensed Material - Displays inventory that is relieved at the end of the Job, but does not get relieved into a specific Lot, which typically occurs when the "Relieve All Issued Materials" flag is checked when closing a Job where nothing was produced/finished on the Job. Example: If a Subassembly or blend is relieved but not finished, the amount of Raw Material in that blend is not accounted for in various existing Inventory reports, such as "Lot Tracking Implosion". Note: Users have the option to un-relieve 'expensed materials' as a job is re-opening. A prompt will display asking the user "Would you like to un-relieve the expensed lots from this job?" Job Cost Detail - Detailed report which displays unit, material, labor, and burden costs for each Part on the selected Jobs. Beginning in version 16.03.048, and when using the "Labor Cost Expression" field to calculate labor, the labor cost will be stored in the "Actual Labor Cost" (j4_labcost) field in the "Job Completions" (dtjob4) table. Actual labor may be viewed on the Job Cost Detail report. Job Cost Summary - Summary report which displays the total unit, material, labor and burden costs for each job based on the selection criteria used in the pre-filter. When adding Routing sequences on a Job, the "Planned Hours" field is available for editing. When modifying an existing Job Routing, it is read only. The purpose of this field is to indicate how long users estimate the task would take to complete. This allows the system to compare the actual hours/dollars to the planned hours/dollars. This report uses this new field to calculate Standard Labor. On this report, the following calculations are used: Std. Total is the sum of all standard variables listed (Std. Materials, Std Labor, Std Burden). Act. Total is the sum of all actual variables listed (Act. Materials, Work Center, Act. Labor, Purchases). Variance is the difference between the totals. This value is typically the most important and used to indicate when costs need to be updated. A negative value is desired. Std. Materials is the total finish quantity multiplied by the "Acct. Materials" value from the Item Master Costs tab of the Finished Good. Act. Materials is the sum of all costs of Lots at the time they are relieved on the Job. This value can be obtained by using the "Inventory" button on individual Jobs. Act. Labor is the sum of payroll postings tied to the Job. Work Center cost is based on payroll. Additional information on some of the calculated fields used on this report is available via the Calculated Fields section on this page. Job Detail - Detailed report showing Part numbers, Part descriptions, Part unit weights, original quantities, completed quantities, incremental job quantities, and remaining quantities for all production order lines. Job Material Cost Detail - Detailed report which displays the planned quantity, actual quantity, planned material cost, and actual material costs for each Part on the selected Jobs. Combines multiple Lots of the same item together onto the same line, which allows the quantity and cost variances to be correct. Will sum costs when items are contained on BOMs more than once. Will sum costs in situations where more than one Lot of an item is issued. Items that are not on a BOM, but were issued and relieved as a result of the production process, are included in this report. The FinishedQty and FinishedCost variables are available to this report and are useful for cost analysis. They represent the amount of material that was used to produce the Bill of Materials item that is displayed in the report. Job Summary - Summary report showing the remaining quantity, completed quantity, and the job creation, planned start, planned finish, due, and completion dates. Starting in version 16.01.009, the "View Docs" button is available to this report, allowing users to add files or pictures directly to jobs without requiring users to drill into the selected job. When printing any of the Batch Ticket 1-3 reports from the Job Summary report, the printed date from the job header will be populated. Production Costs - Detail report showing shift efficiency. When the report is run, a mover form appears with 6 options on the left: Job, Operation, Shift, Shop Area, Work Center, Work Crew. When these options are moved to the right they will be in the order in which they are moved. Once "Continue" is clicked, the report grid appears, the options selected will be the left-most columns, in order, with the rest of the default columns from the grid layout following them. The base data for the report is the dtjob4, dtjob, and dtjob3 table information grouped together where jo_id matches j3_joid and j4_joid. If Shift is one of the grouping criteria, the shift in dtjob3 will match the shift in dtjob4 in the join. If Crew is one of the grouping criteria, the shift in dtjob3 will match the crew in dtjob4 in the join. The criteria is then to group by whatever is selected. Group By: Job: jo_jobnum, Operation: j3_opid, Work Center: j3_ceid, Shift: j4_sfid, Work Crew: j4_crid. Production Detail - Detail report showing completion dates, original quantity, and finished quantity for each Part on the selected Jobs. This report contains a "Time" field to represent the time portion of fi_recdate of the finish job dtfifo record. A blank Time indicates the Job is for a non-stock part which has no job finish record. All Job header (dtjob) fields are available to this report. Users have the option to Un-Finish a product on this report via the Un-Finish button. See the Un-Finishing Inventory page for more information. Production Summary - Summary level report showing finish quantities by Part and by date. Results are grouped by job line number and completion date. Users have the option to Un-Finish a product on this report via the Un-Finish button. See the Un-Finishing Inventory page for more information. Note: When using the "Un-Finish" button, the default quantity will be the finished quantity column of the highlighted grid row(s). QC Detail - Displays all the lots that contain QC results along with the Quality Control Test, test description, Minimum, Maximum, Target, and actual values entered for each Part on the selected Jobs. The fields in the Quality Control Group (dmqc) table are available to this report and can be used to add the QC Group Name and other relevant information. QC Test user fields are available to this report. Beginning in version 16.04.019, this report will also display QC results for non stock parts where the QC Group is marked as "Do QC After Production." QC Summary - Summary report showing the number of QC passes performed and pass/fail results for each pass for each Part on the selected Jobs, including maintenance Jobs. QC Test user fields are available to this report. Beginning in version 16.04.019, this report will also display QC results for non stock parts where the QC Group is marked as "Do QC After Production." Shop Schedule - Displays the Operation, Work Center, and Routing sequence for each Part on the selected Jobs, the original quantity and finished quantity for each part, as well as the total weight of items issued to each Job. This report also shows payroll entries without a matching Job Routing, which have blank default columns of "Part" and "Job For" and a sequence of 0. Staged Inventory - Shows staged inventory quantities by part for all job lines displayed on the report. Inventory may be final staged from this report via the "Final Staging Job" button located at the top of the report. This allows users to Final Stage the same part on multiple job lines, on multiple jobs. This option, sometimes referred to as gang weigh staging, is useful in situations where users need to weigh up parts at the same time. See the Staging Material Best Practice page for information on how to final stage inventory. WIP Detail - Detailed report showing the finished quantity together with the actual material, labor, and burden costs versus the standard material, labor, and burden costs for each Part on the selected Jobs. WIP Summary - Summary report showing the finished quantity together with the actual material, labor, and burden costs versus the standard material, labor, and burden costs for each Job. Work Center Capacity - Capacity report based on Sales Forecasts used to anticipate if companies can fit a new projected order into the forecast. Useful for manufacturers who are looking at their production capacity when they forecast future sales. Can help answer the question: "Can we fit all these jobs into our current production operations or do we need to add additional capacity to satisfy our forecast?" The total time available within the Work Center is calculated using Availability, Availability Exceptions, and MRO blackouts. The “bottom level” Work Centers are used to drive the availability. So if there is a Work Center with no children, just that Work Center is used to drive availability. Example: If there is a Work Center called "Bottling Lines" and it has 10 children, "Bottling Line 1" through "Bottling Line 10", the children are used to drive the availability for the purpose of forecasting across all bottling lines at once. Bottling Lines shows on the report, with the availability as the sum of all of the children. If the children also have children, those grand-children (so to speak) drive the availability. The total consumed time is calculated based on the BOM requirements for the Parts in the selected forecasts. The Routings from the default non-facility-specific revisions for the items on the forecast and the Routings of any Subassemblies of those forecasted items are used to drive usage per bucket. This calculation differs based on whether or not the Routing is a batch routing. Non-Batch: These Routings are per-unit, so the calculation is as follows: ForecastedQuantity * RoutingStepHours / RoutingStepUnits. Batch: These Routings are per batch, so the default Job quantity (Job Maximum) from the Item Master MRP tab is used as follows: RoutingStepHours * (ForecastedQuantity / DefaultJobQuantity). If the default job quantity is less than or equal to zero, the batch size is treated as 1. If the "Use MRP Settings" flag is checked in Routings, that Job Maximum will be used instead. Work Center Loading Detail - Displays the Work Center Operation, quantity, run hours, and start and stop times for each Part on the selected Jobs. All Item Master (dmprod) fields are available to this report. Work Center Loading Summary - Summary report displaying the daily available hours, total hours used, and total days worked for each Work Center.

Note that inventory lots summed as a result of the "Summarize Lots When Viewing Issued Materials" system option will not apply to the "View Staged" button. The Inventory Lot Summary report grid (invlot) contains a new variable/column called "Iteration" to display the staging iteration (st_stagcnt) for the stagged lot.
Catch Weight	Opens the Edit Catch Weights form, which is used to enter the actual Catch Weight recorded when material was produced for Parts flagged as "Catch Weight" in their Item Master Properties tab. The "Default" value is supplied from the "Unit Weight" defined on the Part's Item Master Calcs tab. If a base Unit of Measure is not indicated for the "Weight" type, the system will default the unit's Catch Weight to "1", regardless of the "Unit Weight" value specified.
View Payroll	Generates a Payroll Reporting "Job Payroll Shifts" report for the selected Job, which displays the hours, date, and time for the Labor Group to which the current Worker is assigned. Users can add new Workers and appropriate payroll entries using this report. Users with the "Production -- allow negative time sheet hours" security setting set to yes can enter negative time sheet hours to offset mistakes. Note: Deacom version 16.06.058 adds a specific security setting to control which users can add Operations in the system. If this security is set to "No", users will not be able to add an Operation when clicking the (+) Add New button in the Operation search field when usign the View Payroll button. Previously, users would need to be restricted from accessing the Production Maintenance area to control this option.

Zero All	If clicked, zeros out all quantities listed in the "Finish Qty" column.
Job	Displays the Job number.
Shift	Option to select the shift, for the selected Work Crew, responsible for Finishing or Closing the job. Shifts allow the grouping of Crews and supports the ability to generate a Shift Efficiency report. Shifts are linked to Crews via the "Shift" field on the Work Crew record. Additional information is available via Managing Workers.
Work Crew	Displays the Crew responsible for production of the goods in the job, as indicated on the Job header.
Date	The date the Job will be marked as closed. Defaults to the current date but may be changed.
Relieve Labor Costs - Job Finish	If checked, relieves costs for all labor that has been entered against this Job. The default setting for this flag is controlled via the "Relieve Labor Costs / Job Finish" flag in Production Options.
Relieve All Issued Materials	If checked, relieves issued material from WIP regardless of the Inventory Costing method selected in Accounting Options. When re-opening a job, the user may un-relieve an inventory expensed for the job. This requires security setting "Production -- un-relieve expensed materials when re-opening jobs". If this flag is not checked and the user clicks "Save", the system will prompt the user to verify they wish to continue. The default setting for this flag is controlled via the "Relieve All Issued / Job Finish" flag in Production Options. The "Job Relieve Test Type" selection in Production Options also effects how issued materials are handled. The "Expensed Material" report is useful for determining situations in which, at the end of the Job, inventory is relieved but does not into a specific Lot, which typically occurs when this flag is checked when closing a job where nothing was produced/finished on the Job.
Close Job	If checked, the system also checks the "Relieve Labor Costs - Job Finish" and "Relieve All Issued Materials" flags. Security exists to control access to this flag. The WIP GL accounts affected by the Job close are defined in Accounting Options. Work Flow sequences can be flagged as "Required to Close Job". If checked, that sequence must be completed before the Job can be closed. This flag does not prevent material form being produced or relieved.
Print Job Labels After Finish	If checked, the Job Label for Lot(s) being finished will be printed when "Save" is clicked.
Print Master Lot Labels After Finish	If checked, the Print Quantity form will be displayed and the Master Lot label for the Lot(s) being finished will be printed after the "Finish" button is clicked.

Close/Relieve Job form

Opened via the "Modify" button on the Close/Relieve Job form, this form is used to modify the finish quantity, leftover quantity, specify different Location Types and Locations, and add item attributes. When finishing production, the following records/preferences are checked when populating the default location and location type on the close/relieve job form.

Facility override on the Item Master.
Item Master General 1 tab's "Default Location Type", if it belongs to the Facility on the Job.
If that Location Type does not belong to the Job's Facility, pull in that Facility's default Location Type and Location, if any.
Otherwise blank.
This form is disabled when using a Job Type of "Planning".

Field	Description
Part Number	Displays the Part Number from the Job line.
Description	Displays the Part's description.
Original Qty	Displays the original Job line quantity.
Remaining	Displays the remaining quantity left to be finished for the selected Job line.
Finish Qty	Displays the amount to be finished. The default for this field can be set via the "Default Finish Quantity" field on the Part's Item Master General 2 tab or the General tab on facility part cross references. Reference the General 2 tab link for additional information. Once a quantity is finished by entering an amount and saving the Job, it may only be modified by users with access to "Production - edit previously finished job line". Set to "0" when using a Job Type of "Planning".
Leftover	Displays the difference between the Remaining and Finish quantities.
Tally	Displays the tally amount for this finish, if the item is defined with an "Order Type" of "Tally" on its Item Master General 1 tab.
Container Number	Search field used to select a Container that was issued to the job. Containers are issued to jobs by issuing lots stored in Containers. Used in situations where materials are meant to be finished into Containers. Issuing upon finishing is driven by the "Input Production When Issuing" flag on the Job Category. If this flag is checked on the job category specified on the job, then finishing must occur in order for materials to be issued.
Container Unit	Search field used to select a Unit of Measure to indicate the total number of units that can be placed in a full container of this item.
Location Type	Displays the Location Type where the finished item will be placed once the finish process is complete. The default is based on the hierarchy below, unless the item being finished has the "Finish Job to WIP Materials Location" flag checked. Default Finishing Location Type specified on the Edit Item Facility form, accessible via the Item Master > Facilities tab of the Part being finished. Default Location Type specified on the Edit Item Facility form, accessible via the Item Master > Facilities tab of the Part being finished.
