Can someone please enlighten me on the Work Order Variance From Standards Report. I am working with a client, testing at this point, to see if work order is going to work for them and I have no explanation for the variances we see on the report. If all items are standard cost, all transactions entered match the planned routing how can there be a variance at all? I am clearly missing something, but I am not sure what and you all know the documentation is seriously lacking in details. Anything that is out there that will help me would be appreciated.

@DebThomas ???

Have you reviewed the setup for the percentage of variance you wish to review?

well no, it is still at 0%, but I am unclear why I have a variance at all. BTW I PM'd you @DebThomas I would like to buy some time to pick your brain, if you would be so kind.

So all production is completed at total qty and with no variation in labor?

they are choosing not to post labor at this time, only transactions posted were: release, issue materials, complete. all quantities match the planned.

Scrap or yield in use? Did you run the Missing cost reports to just double-check?

Those would have been my next questions...?? Nice call Moira!

Thanks @DebThomas great minds think alike...

no scrap, 100% yield, shouldn't be any missing costs, but will check.

Did you find anything when reviewing the missing cost report?

could not get back onto their system to check.
