Target Cost: Sales (Bevica Power BI)

Summary

You can use Target Costs for the calculations on your sales.

See this article to understand it: Item Sales Line 'Target Cost'

NOTE: For Open Sales to use Target Cost the appropriate setting must be set in Bevica Setup

Usage

Use the Sales Cost Type selector to determine which Cost should be used; Actual or Target. This can be used as an interactive page filter to reports.

You can apply this filter at a page or all pages level if required. The below example adds a filter to the page.

NOTE: Actual is the default if no other selection is made

Only the Cost of Sales (All) measure is affected. If you select 'Target' as your Cost Type then Cost of Sales - Actual, Expected, Inventory and Non Invtbl will return 0.

• This also affects Margin - i.e., you must use 'All' if using Target Cost.
• Sales Measures Global also work with Target Cost

The Var % / £ Cost of Sales (Target vs Actual) can be used to view the difference between Actuals and Target Costs to debug or understand variances.

Calculation

The calculation is:

• Target Cost from Item Ledger Entries x Quantity
• If ILE Target Cost = 0 then Item Target Cost x Quantity (this would always use the current item target cost at report refresh)
• Else 0
