You are currently viewing documentation for CompuTec ProcessForce 3.0, which is a plugin installed and managed through CompuTec AppEngine 3.0, built on .NET 8.

If you are working with older environments, you may need the documentation for CompuTec ProcessForce 2.0, which is still supported: https://learn.computec.one/docs/processforce/2.0/.

Please note that CompuTec AppEngine 3.0 introduces a new architecture. All CompuTec components, including the CompuTec ProcessForce 3.0 plugin, must be updated together to ensure full compatibility.

Before starting your installation or upgrade process, we strongly recommend reviewing the CompuTec AppEngine 3.0 and CompuTec ProcessForce 3.0 documentation.

Costed Manufacturing Order Report

The Costed Manufacturing Order report allows you to review and compare Planned and Actual quantities and costs for materials and resources used in production.

It provides full transparency into:

  • What the production was expected to cost
  • What it actually cost
  • The variance between planned and actual values

This report is useful for production cost control, variance analysis, and financial reconciliation.

Planned Costs

Planned Costs are retrieved at the time the Manufacturing Order is created.

They are sourced:

  • From Item Costing
  • From Resource Costing
  • Using Standard Cost category 000

At creation time, the system copies these costs into Item and Resource lines.

This ensures that the Manufacturing Order stores a snapshot of the expected cost at the time of planning.

Refresh Planned Costs

If standard costs change after the order is created, you can update the planned values.

To refresh planned costs:

  1. Right-click inside the Manufacturing Order.
  2. Select Refresh Planned Costs.

This updates the planned values based on the current standard cost.

Actual Costs

Actual Costs reflect what truly happened during production. The system collects them from different sources depending on item type.

Inventory Items

For inventory-managed items, actual costs are taken from:

  • Goods Issue documents
  • Goods Receipt documents

The cost is derived directly from the inventory transactions posted to the Manufacturing Order.

Non-Inventory Items

For non-inventory items, the actual costs are recorded directly in Journal Entry lines linked to the order.

Resources

For resources (labor, machine time, etc.), actual costs come from:

  • Time Booking documents
  • The most recent Time Correction document (if applicable)

These postings determine the final actual resource cost of the order.

Technical details

Report uses SQL functions to collect details for planned and actual costs.

Material Cost Function

This function collects planned and actual cost data for materials.

CT_PF_MaterialCostFunctionForCostedMor

Example for Manufacturing Order with DocEntry = 123:

SELECT * FROM "CT_PF_MaterialCostFunctionForCostedMor"(123);

If you want to retrieve data for all Manufacturing Orders:

SELECT * FROM "CT_PF_MaterialCostFunctionForCostedMor"(-1);

Resource Cost Function

This function collects planned and actual cost data for resources.

CT_PF_ResourceCostFunctionForCostedMor

Example for Manufacturing Order with DocEntry = 123:

SELECT * FROM "CT_PF_ResourceCostFunctionForCostedMor"(123);

Example for all oders:

SELECT * FROM "CT_PF_ResourceCostFunctionForCostedMor"(-1);

Manufacturing Order Transactions View

All actual transaction costs related to Manufacturing Orders can also be reviewed in the database view:

CT_PF_MOR_Transactions

This view contains the detailed transactional postings that build up the actual cost values. It can be useful for reconciliation, toubleshooting cost discrepancies, audit purposes, or advanced reporting.
