Average Cost Changes Report

The Cost Change report lists differences in the rental and sales product costs, for a product and date selection range.

The "Detail" report and spreadsheet information is sorted by product number with description and includes date of the cost change, the cause of the change, the quantity at that time, the old and new costs, the Cost Calculation Quantity changes, Tag value changes, and the vendor, or customer, or operator responsible for the change.

The "13 Month" spreadsheet output includes the product number and description with the high and low cost for each of the 13 months, and also the current cost.

Refer to View Average Cost Adjustments for details on the impact of cost changes.
Refer to Cost Calculation Quantity for details on how costs are weighted to provide an accurate average for each sales product.

REPORT TYPE

This filter only applies to the spreadsheet output option, as the printed report always generates the Detail output.
For Excel output, select one of the following report formats:

• Select 13 Month to return the high and low costs over a 13 month period ending as of the month defined in the To Month field below.
• Select Detail to return the cost changes for the period defined in the From/To Dates fields above.
  This option always applies to the Printed report output.

TO MONTH

This field does not apply and is disabled for the Detail report as the From/To Dates fields are used for the reporting period.

For the 13 Month spreadsheet output, enter the year and month in the YYYYMM format, to use as the final date column in the 13 month period.

REPORT OPTIONS

This value defaults to the operator preference as defined in Operators.
