Post-calculation

The purpose of this procedure is to be able to perform a financial follow-up after a part/an order has been manufactured/reported. Here you compare planned costs with actual costs.

If you want to do an efficiency follow-up of operations, you should instead use the procedure called Operation follow-up.

Post-calculations can be made for orders regardless of order status, but you can only save the price for orders with status 4 (finished) or higher. You can perform post-calculation e.g. for manufacturing orders in progress with status 3 (started) in order to see the costs that have been generated so far, but you cannot save these costs as a price. For parts, however, you can only perform post-calculation for mean price calculation on orders with status 4 or higher. It is the list type that determines whether you perform post-calculation of orders or parts in the procedure.

For manufacturing orders, the costs are calculated per unit or for the entire manufactured quantity. Planned costs are calculated the same way as in the pre-calculation. Reported costs are calculated based on data from the manufacturing order log.

For parts the costs are calculated in the same way as for manufacturing orders. Reported part costs shown are averages, based on reported quantity in one or several manufacturing orders for the part. From the total values for the part you can proceed to see the cost for each involved manufacturing order, both in total and in detailed form.

You can save actual costs per unit to different price lists or only to the calculation register for the part. This applies to both list types. For the list type Total by order, you can also update the status of the order to 5 (calculated).

In the section Calculations under the Manufacturing tab in the System settings procedure, you find settings which affect post-calculations.
