This report is quite similar to the Detailed labour WIP report except that it is sorted by load status. The report performs two major functions as:
An end of day or week action report to pick up all lines that have become static and investigate why they cannot progress.
A report to show detail behind the end of day audit (stock reconciliation) program that shows the number of lines at each status, aged by months. All of these lines should be investigated regularly to ensure that the files are kept tidy and any customers' orders are followed up.
By default, this is a printable report which is sorted by department/load status/WIP number and produced for all departments and status codes, with a new page on change of load status. When you run the report, you are given the option to output the report to an HTML directory or display the report. You are also asked if you want to produce the report for specific departments and status codes, and you are prompted for a cut-off date and percentage variation allowed. The percentage variation allows you to identify from the report if the time taken to complete a job is within the specified percentage for the time allowed. For example, if the percentage variation allowed is 10% and the allowed time on the line is 1.0 hour, a minus symbol is displayed if the time taken is 0.9, and a plus symbol is displayed if the time taken is more than 1.1.
Any labour lines on which the status has changed or that have been modified since the specified cut-off date are not included in the report, and lines that are invoiced are not shown.
For each labour line, the following details are summarised on the report:
WIP line number
Repair Time Schedule (RTS) code
The date the WIP was last edited
Menu item (flagged M if this is a fixed price menu or * if the part is a menu item)
Labour type code
Whether there is a contribution (C column is flagged *)
Time allowed
Labour rate
Gross value
Discount value
Net value
Time taken
Cost of labour
Profit amount
Profit margin as a percentage of the net selling price rounded to 2 decimal places, calculated as (Selling price/Profit)*100
Mechanic number
Efficiency. Is the job within the percentage variation for time allowed? (Flagged by a minus symbol if the time taken is less than the time allowed, a plus symbol if the time taken is greater than the time allowed, and left empty if they are equal.)
