to select, a parameter ID of up to 15 alphanumeric characters. Choose characters for your parameter ID that help identify the type of selections you made in the screen, such as PERIOD or QUARTERLY.Use this screen to print or preview the manufacturing order (MO) WIP variance detailed report before actually running the process that creates journal entries (using the Create MO WIP Variance Journal Entry screen).
The detailed report breaks down the variances for the following cost element:
Materials Usage Variance
Materials Overhead Cost Variance
Subcontract Cost Variance
Subcontract Overhead Cost Variance
Labor Cost Variance
Labor Overhead Cost Variance
Misc 1 Cost Variance
Misc 1 Overhead Cost Variance
Misc 2 Cost Variance
Misc 2 Overhead Cost Variance
Labor Efficiency Variance
Labor Efficiency Overhead Variance
The reports generated on this screen are the MO WIP Variance Detailed report and the MO WIP Variance Summary report. The MO WIP Variance Detailed report includes variances for Project WIP (if screen option is selected), regardless of the post project WIP variance value for the inventory abbreviation. However, journal entries for project WIP variance is created on the Create Purchase Price Variance Journal Entry (INPPPV) screen only if the option to post project WIP variance is selected for the inventory abbreviation. The MO WIP Variance Summary report is similar to the first report except that it shows the summary by project with combined MO totals.
If a particular variance account/organization has not been set up or is inactive, or period of performance fiscal year/period (FY/PD) start/end is not within selected FY/PD, the amounts are included in the report with a note that indicates this condition.
Use the fields in this block to create a new parameter ID or to retrieve a previously saved parameter ID. A parameter ID represents a set of screen selection parameters. After you have saved a parameter ID and its related parameters, you can retrieve them using Query.
You can use the retrieved parameters to produce reports and run processes more efficiently and with greater consistency. The saved parameters are also useful and necessary when you want to run the process as part of a batch job. Many users save a unique set of parameters for each different way they run a report or process. When you select a previously saved parameter ID or parameter description, the associated saved screen selection parameters automatically display as selection defaults. The page setup and print options are also included in the saved parameter ID if there are any. You can change any of the associated selection defaults as necessary.
Enter, or click to select, a parameter ID of up to 15 alphanumeric characters. Choose characters for your parameter ID that help identify the type of selections you made in the screen, such as PERIOD or QUARTERLY.
When you save your record, all the selections made in the screen are stored with the parameter ID. Later, you can retrieve the parameter using Query.
You can use the parameter to run the process more efficiently because you can select the parameter ID with its previously defined screen selections. After the default selections display in the screen, you can override the defaults.
Enter, or click to select, a parameter description of up to 30 alphanumeric characters.
This field displays the number of periods for variance calculations. This defaults to One.
Enter, or use 
to select, the fiscal year for which WIP variance is calculated.
Enter, or use to select ,the period for which WIP variance is calculated.
Enter, or use to select ,the subperiod for which WIP variance is calculated.
This field displays the end date of the fiscal year, period, or subperiod.
This field displays the date and time when the inventory burden rates are calculated.
Select an option to specify whether previously calculated target or actual inventory burden rates should be used when calculating burden amounts.
Select a range option for the project ID. Available options are All, One, Range, From Beginning, and To End.
Enter, or use to select ,the starting project ID.
Enter, or use to select ,the ending project ID.
Select this check box to preview or print to include variances for projects that use average actual costing.
Select this check box to preview or print to include variances for projects that use standard costing.
If selected, this check box indicates that variances for common inventory projects that use average actual costing are included in the preview or printed report.
Select this check box to preview or print to include variances for project WIP.
Select this check box to preview or print to include variances for project expense.
If selected, this check box indicates that rows with zero (0) variance is excluded in the preview or printed report.
Select this check box to exclude rows with a variance that is less than a certain amount in the preview or printed report. Enter the minimum variance amount for inclusion in the preview or printed report.
Select an option to indicate the sorting of the report. Valid options are Costing Method and Invt Project Type.
