Track purchase price variance (PPV): standard vs actual PO price per product, vendor and period with journal proposals and alerts
Key Features
Automatic variance capture
Automatic variance capture — every confirmed purchase order line is snapshotted against the product's standard cost, storing the standard price, actual price, quantity and the resulting unit and extended variance.
Favorable / unfavorable classification
Favorable / unfavorable classification — each variance is signed and labelled so buyers immediately see whether they beat or missed standard, with the variance percentage against standard cost.
Tolerance policies
Tolerance policies — define percentage and absolute-dollar tolerance bands (global or per product category); any buy that breaches the band is marked out-of-tolerance and raises an activity for the responsible buyer.
Accounting periods
Accounting periods — group variances into open/closed PPV periods, lock a period once reviewed, and prevent new postings against a closed period.
PPV journal proposal
PPV journal proposal — generate a balanced draft journal entry that debits or credits the price-variance account per period, ready for the controller to review and post; the actual accounting posting stays under your control.
Variance dashboard & drill-down
Variance dashboard & drill-down — pivot and graph views by vendor, product, category and period, drilling from a headline number straight to the originating purchase lines.
Recompute & backfill wizard
Recompute & backfill wizard — (re)build variances for any date range and vendor selection so you can adopt the tracker on historical purchase data.
Out-of-tolerance alerting
Out-of-tolerance alerting — a daily scheduled action re-scans open variances, escalates breaches, and notifies the buyer and PPV manager.
Vendor variance scorecard
Vendor variance scorecard — running favorable / unfavorable totals per vendor to support supplier negotiations and price reviews.
Full audit trail
Full audit trail — variances and periods are mail-thread enabled, so every reclassification, tolerance breach and period lock is logged in the chatter.
