Dealer Inventory Scorecard

You can process a Dealer Inventory Scorecard report to determine:

If your current inventory is overstocked/understocked based on the current inventory value and the inventory turn rate.

If your parts are overstocked/understocked based on purchases and usage.

If your supplies are overstocked/understocked based on purchases and usage.

The monetary value and percentage of your inventory that is dead inventory.

How your current percentage of rescheduled service calls compares with your target percentage of rescheduled service calls.

The monthly monetary impact of rescheduled service calls on your business.

You specify report parameters that identify the items in your inventory defined as parts and the items in your inventory defined as supplies, the time period for which you want to run the report (which should be one quarter in length), the period of time in months after which to consider an in-stock inventory item dead if the item has not been used or received into inventory, and the impact of rescheduled calls on your business.

Note: Many of the report calculations are based on a three-month period. As a result, these calculations will only be accurate if you process the report for a three-month period.

The main report includes the following information:

Note: An asterisk (*) indicates the report displays both a monetary amount and a bar graph for the item. A diamond ( ) indicates the report displays a monetary amount for the item and includes the item in a pie chart.  A caret (^) indicates the system evaluates the item and provides a green check if the item is within the report's built-in metrics (good) or a red X if the item is not within the report's built-in metrics (needs attention).

Current Inventory Value Metrics: Current Inventory Value*, Target Inventory Value*, Excess/Shortfall*, Current Inventory Turns, and Turns Calculated on Active Inventory Only.

Current Inventory Purchase and Usage Metrics: Monthly Average Parts Purchases*, Monthly Average Parts Used*, Parts Excess/Shortfall*, Monthly Average Supply Purchases*, Monthly Average Supplies Used*, and Supplies Excess/Shortfall*.

Dead Inventory Metrics: Active Inventory Value , Dead Inventory Value , Current Inventory Value , and % at Dead Level.

Rescheduled Service Call Metrics: Current Reschedule %, Target Reschedule %, and Target Variance.

Monthly Monetary Impact of Rescheduled Service Calls: Current Cost of Rescheduled Service Calls*, Target Cost of Rescheduled Service Calls*, and Rescheduled Call Customer and Travel Cost Reduction that could be achieved by increasing technician inventory*.

Labor Impact of Rescheduled Service Calls: Potential Labor Hours to Recapture (based on report's time period) and Potential Technicians that could be saved per month if all rescheduled calls were eliminated.

Calculations and/or Comparison of Actual Values to Target Values: Inventory Turns, "Dead" Inventory %, Incomplete Call %, Excess Rescheduled Service Call Percentage Above Target, Total Customer and Travel Hours, Customer and Travel Hours Cost, Current Rescheduled Service Call Hours, Monetary Value of Rescheduled Service Calls, Projected Reduction in Rescheduled Service Call Hours, Projected Reduction in Rescheduled Service Call Cost, and Average Call Duration.

Main Report Images



 
 

Note:  If any sub report does not contain data, the system omits the sub report and the corresponding section on the Main Report's Page 3.

The following table identifies the source of each of the numbers and/or the calculations for arriving at the numbers in the main Dealer Inventory Scorecard report.

Report Label

Description and/or Calculation

Current Inventory Value Metrics

Current Inventory Value

The total inventory average cost (inventory quantity * average cost) of the items included in the Define Parts and Define Supplies parameters you specified for the report.

 

Calculation:

Current Inventory Value = Sum(Inventory Quantity * Average Cost for Each Item Included in Report)

 

Example (based on Main Report image):

Current Inventory Value = $272,612.

Note: To see how the system arrives at this value ($272,612 in the sample image), see the Dealer Inventory Cost Details sub report. To get the exact monetary amount of the Current Inventory Value ($272,611.61), export the Dealer Inventory Cost Details sub report data to an Excel file, multiply the Quantity column (Column D) by the Average Cost column (Column F) and store the results in Column J, and then sum Column J.

Target Inventory Value

The system-projected average cost of the inventory you should have on hand based on the usage of the items as determined by your Define Parts and Define Supplies parameters on service calls, sales orders, and production work orders over the Date Range you specified for the report multiplied by a hard-coded value of 4.04 (optimized for a three-month, or quarterly, Date Range).

 

Calculation:

Target Inventory Value = (Total Parts Usage Average Cost + Total Supply Usage Average Cost) * 4.04

 

Example (based on Main Report image):

Target Inventory Value = ($141,535.23 Total Parts Usage Average Cost + $250,205.38 Total Supply Usage Average Cost) * 4.04 = $1,582,632 (rounded to nearest integer)

Note: To see how the system arrives at the Total Parts Usage Average Cost and Total Supply Usage Average Cost, see the Inventory Usage table on Report Page 3 and/or the Inventory Usage Details sub report.

Excess/Shortfall

The system-projected average cost of surplus inventory or inventory shortage based on subtracting the system projected Target Inventory Value from your Current Inventory Value.

 

Calculation:

Excess/Shortfall = Current Inventory Value - Target Inventory Value

 

Example (based on Main Report image):

Excess/Shortfall =  $272,612 Current Inventory Value - $1,582,632 Target Inventory Value = ($1,310,020)

Current Inventory Turns

Total average cost value of items included in the report based on your Define Parts and Define Supplies parameters that were used on service calls, sales orders, and production work orders divided by 3, then divided by the current inventory value, and then multiplied by 12.

 

Calculation:

Current Inventory Turns = ((Total Average Cost of Items Included in Report that Were Used During Report Date Range on Service Calls, Sales Orders, and/or Production Work Order / 3) / Current Inventory Value Based on Average Cost) * 12

 

Example (based on Main Report image):

Current Inventory Turns = (($391,740.61 Total Average Cost of Items Included in Report that Were Used During Report Date Range on Service Calls, Sales Orders, and/or Production Work Order / 3) / 272,611.61 Current Inventory Value) * 12 = 5.7 (rounded to one decimal position)

Note: To see how the system arrives at the Total Average Cost Amount, see the Inventory Usage table on Report Page 3 and/or the Inventory Usage Details sub report. This value is the sum of the Parts Usage ($141,535.23) and Supply Usage ($250,205.38) amounts, which equals $391,740.61. To see how the system arrives at the Current Inventory Value Based on Average Cost ($272,611.61), see the Dealer Inventory Cost Details sub report.

Turns Calculated on Active Inventory

The system-calculated number of inventory turns based on dividing the Target inventory Value by 3 and then dividing that amount by the Active Inventory Value.  The Active Inventory Value is the total item average cost minus the dead inventory value.

 

Calculation:

Active Inventory Value = Current Inventory Value Based on Average Cost - Dead Inventory Value Based on Average Cost

Turns Calculated on Active Inventory = (Target inventory Value / 3) / Active Inventory Value

 

Example (based on Main Report image):

Active Inventory Value = $272,611.61 Current Inventory Value Based on Average Cost - $4,932.96 Dead Inventory Value Based on Average Cost = $267,678.85

Turns Calculated on Active Inventory = ($1,582,632 Target inventory Value / 3) / $267,678.85 Active Inventory Value = 2.0 (1.98 rounded to 1 decimal position)

Note: To see how the system arrives at the Dead Inventory Value ($4,932.96) to subtract from the Current Inventory Value ($272,611.61) to calculate the Active Inventory Value ($267,678.85), see the Dead Inventory (Zero Inventory Turn) Details sub report.

Current Inventory Purchase and Usage Metrics

Monthly Average Parts Purchases

The total parts purchases for items included in the report based on your Define Parts parameter as received on PO Receipts during the Date Range you specified for the report divided by 3.

Note: This calculation will only be accurate if you use a three-month Date Range.
  

Calculation:

Monthly Average Parts Purchases = Total Parts Purchases Received on PO Receipts during Date Range / 3

 

Example (based on Main Report image):

Monthly Average Parts Purchases = $173,310.12 Total Parts Purchases Received on PO Receipts during Date Range / 3 = $57,770 (rounded to nearest integer)

Note: To see the PO Receipt details on which this number is based, see the Inventory Purchased Details (Item Level) sub report. To get the exact monetary amount of parts purchased, export the Inventory Purchased Details (Item Level) sub report data to an Excel file, sort the rows by the Part/Supply column (Column C), and sum the Cost column (Column H) for the Part rows.

Monthly Average Parts Used

The total parts used on service calls, sales orders, and production work orders for items included in the report based on your Define Parts parameter during the Date Range you specified for the report divided by 3.

Note: This calculation will only be accurate if you use a three-month Date Range.
   

Calculation:

Monthly Average Parts Used = Total Parts Used on Service Calls, Sales Orders, and Production Work Orders during Date Range / 3

 

Example (based on Main Report image):

Monthly Average Parts Used = $141,535.23 Total Parts Used on Service Calls, Sales Orders, and Production Work Orders during Date Range / 3 = $47,178 (rounded to nearest integer)

Note: To see the usage details on which this number is based, see the Inventory Usage Details sub report. To get the exact monetary amount of parts purchased, export the Inventory Usage Details sub report data to an Excel file, sort the rows by the Part/Supply column (Column C), and sum the Cost column (Column I) for the Part rows.

Excess/Shortfall (Parts)

The surplus inventory or inventory shortage based on subtracting the Monthly Average Parts Used from the Monthly Average Parts Purchases.

    

Calculation:

Excess/Shortfall (Parts) = Monthly Average Parts Purchases - Monthly Average Parts Used

 

Example (based on Main Report image):

Excess/Shortfall (Parts) = $57,770.04 Monthly Average Parts Purchases -  $47,178.41 Monthly Average Parts Used = $10,592 (rounded to nearest integer) Excess (Parts)

Monthly Average Supply Purchases

The total supply purchases for items included in the report based on your Define Supplies parameter as received on PO Receipts during the Date Range you specified for the report divided by 3.

Note: This calculation will only be accurate if you use a three-month Date Range.
   

Calculation:

Monthly Average Supply Purchases = Total Supply Purchases Received on PO Receipts during Date Range / 3

 

Example (based on Main Report image):

Monthly Average Supply Purchases = $317,605.18 Total Supply Purchases Received on PO Receipts during Date Range / 3 = $105,868 (rounded to nearest integer)

Note: To see the PO Receipt details on which this number is based, see the Inventory Purchased Details (Item Level) sub report. To get the exact monetary amount of supplies purchased, export the Inventory Purchased Details (Item Level) sub report data to an Excel file, sort the rows by the Part/Supply column (Column C), and sum the Cost column (Column H) for the Supply rows.

Monthly Average Supplies Used

The total supplies used on service calls, sales orders, and production work orders for items included in the report based on your Define Supplies parameter during the Date Range you specified for the report divided by 3.

Note: This calculation will only be accurate if you use a three-month Date Range.
   

Calculation:

Monthly Average Supplies Used = Total Supplies Used on Service Calls, Sales Orders, and Production Work Orders during Date Range / 3

 

Example (based on Main Report image):

Monthly Average Supplies Used = $250,205.38 Total Parts Used on Service Calls, Sales Orders, and Production Work Orders during Date Range / 3 = $83,402 (rounded to nearest integer)

Note: To see the usage details on which this number is based, see the Inventory Usage Details sub report. To get the exact monetary amount of parts purchased, export the Inventory Usage Details sub report data to an Excel file, sort the rows by the Part/Supply column (Column C), and sum the Cost column (Column I) for the Supply rows.

Excess/Shortfall (Supplies)

The surplus inventory or inventory shortage based on subtracting the Monthly Average Supplies Used from the Monthly Average Supply Purchases.

    

Calculation:

Excess/Shortfall (Parts) = Monthly Average Supply Purchases - Monthly Average Supplies Used

 

Example (based on Main Report image):

Excess/Shortfall (Supplies) = $105,868.39 Monthly Average Supply Purchases -  $83,401.79 Monthly Average Supplies Used = $22,467 (rounded to nearest integer) Excess (Supplies)

Dead Inventory Metrics

Active Inventory Value

The sum of the average costs of all items included in the report based on your Define Parts and Define Supplies parameters that have an on-hand quantity greater than 0 (zero) and that do not meet your Dead Inventory Use Months and Dead Inventory Receipt Months parameters for what constitutes dead inventory.

     

Calculation:

Active Inventory Value = Sum(Average Cost of All Items Included in Report) - Sum(Average Cost of All Dead Inventory Items Included in Report)

 

Example (based on Main Report image using Dead Inventory Use Months = 18 months and Dead Inventory Receipt Months = 18 months):

Active Inventory Value = $272,611.61 Average Cost of All Items Included in Report - $4,932.96 Average Cost of Dead Inventory Items Included in Report = $267,678.85

Note: To see how the system arrives at the Dead Inventory Value ($4,932.96) to subtract from the Current Inventory Value ($272,611.61) to calculate the Active Inventory Value ($267,678.85), see the Dead Inventory (Zero Inventory Turn) Details sub report.

Dead Inventory Value

The sum of the average costs of all items included in the report based on your Define Parts and Define Supplies parameters that meets your Dead Inventory Use Months and/or Dead Inventory Receipt Months parameters for what constitutes dead inventory.

     

Calculation:

Dead Inventory Value = Sum(Average Cost of All Dead Inventory Items Included in Report)

 

Example (based on Main Report image using Dead Inventory Use Months = 18 months and Dead Inventory Receipt Months = 18 months):

Dead Inventory Value = $4,932.96 Average Cost of Dead Inventory Items Included in Report

Note: To see how the system arrives at the Dead Inventory Value ($4,932.96), see the Dead Inventory (Zero Inventory Turn) Details sub report. To get the exact monetary amount of the Dead Inventory Value, export the Dead Inventory (Zero Inventory Turn) Details sub report data to an Excel file and sum the Cost column (Column E).

Current Inventory Value

The total inventory average cost (inventory quantity * average cost) of the items included in the Define Parts and Define Supplies parameters you specified for the report.

 

Calculation:

Current Inventory Value = Sum(Inventory Quantity * Average Cost for Each Item Included in Report)

 

Example (based on Main Report image):

Current Inventory Value = $272,612.

Note: To see how the system arrives at this value ($272,612 in the sample image), see the Dealer Inventory Cost Details sub report. To get the exact monetary amount of the Current Inventory Value ($272,611.61), export the Dealer Inventory Cost Details sub report data to an Excel file, multiply the Quantity column (Column D) by the Average Cost column (Column F) and store the results in Column J, and then sum Column J.

% at Dead Level

The percentage of the inventory included in the report based on the Define Parts and Define Supplies parameters within the specified Date Range that meets your Dead Inventory Use Months and/or Dead Inventory Receipt Months parameters for what constitutes dead inventory.

 

Calculation:

% at Dead Level = (Dead Inventory Value / Current Inventory Value)*100

 

Example (based on Main Report image using Dead Inventory Use Months = 18 months and Dead Inventory Receipt Months = 18 months):

% at Dead Level = ($4,932.96 Dead Inventory Value / $272,611.61 Current Inventory Value)*100 = 2% (rounded to no decimal positions)

Rescheduled Service Call Metrics

Current Reschedule %

The ratio of all calls marked incomplete during the specified Date Range to all calls completed during the specified Date Range.  

Calculation:

Current Reschedule % = (Incompleted Service Calls / Completed Service Calls)*100

 

Example (based on Main Report image):

Current Reschedule % = (486 Incompleted Service Calls / 4,059 Completed Service Calls)*100 = 12% (rounded to no decimal positions)

Target Reschedule %

The ratio of all calls marked incomplete during the specified Date Range to all calls completed during the specified Date Range that you do not want to exceed. This value is the Target Reschedule Percentage parameter you specified for the report. The default value is 10%.

Target Variance

The percentage of the difference between the Current Reschedule % and the Target Reschedule %.

   

Calculation:

Target Variance = ((Current Reschedule % - Target Reschedule %) / Current Reschedule %) * 100

 

Example (based on Main Report image and a Target Reschedule Percentage parameter value of 10%):

Target Variance = ((0.119734 Current Reschedule % - 0.10 Target Reschedule %) /0.119734 Current Reschedule %) * 100 = 16%  (rounded to no decimal positions)

Note: A positive number indicates a variance above your target value, meaning the target percentage was not met.  When the target percentage is not met, the system displays a in the Incomplete Service Calls row of the Service Call Information table on Page 3 of this report and performs calculations to determine how much your company could save if you were able to reduce the Current Reschedule % to the Target Reschedule %. A negative number indicates a variance below your target value, meaning the target percentage was met. When the target percentage is met, the system displays a in the Incomplete Service Calls row of the Service Call Information table on Page 3 of this report and sets to zero any calculations that would otherwise be used to determine how much your company could save by reducing your Current Reschedule % since this value is already below the Target Reschedule %.

Current R/S Cost @ [Rate] per Hour

The monthly cost of rescheduled service calls based on the average service call duration and the Rescheduled Hour Cost parameter you specified for the report.

Calculation:

Current R/S Cost @ [Rate] per Hour: ((Number of Incomplete Service Calls * Average Call Duration * Rescheduled Hour Cost) / Number of Months in Date Range

 

Example (based on Main Report image and a Rescheduled Hour Cost value of $65.00):

Current R/S Cost @ $65.00 per Hour: ((486 Incomplete Service Calls * 1.810875 Hours Average Call Duration * $65.00 Rescheduled Hour Cost) / 3 Months in Date Range = $19,069 (rounded to nearest integer)

Target R/S Cost @ [Rate] per Hour

The monthly cost of rescheduled service calls based on the average service call duration and the Rescheduled Hour Cost parameter you specified for the report that you do not want to exceed.

    

Calculation:

Target R/S Cost @ [Rate] per Hour = (((Number of Incomplete Service Calls * Average Call Duration) - R/S Hours Reduction) * Rescheduled Hour Cost) / Number of Months in Date Range

 

Example (based on Main Report image and a Rescheduled Hour Cost value of $65.00):

Target R/S Cost @ $65.00 per Hour = (((486 Incomplete Service Calls * 1.810875 Hours Average Call Duration) - 95.906874 R/S Hours Reduction) * $65.00 Rescheduled Hour Cost) / 3 Months in Date Range = $16,991 (rounded to nearest integer)

Note: See the R/S Hours Reduction section below to see how the R/S Hours Reduction amount was calculated.
Note: If your Target Variance is negative (indicating the current rescheduled call percentage is below the target rescheduled call percentage you specified for the report), the system will set this amount to $0.

R/S Customer /Travel Cost Reduction

The monthly cost difference of your technicians' customer and travel time between rescheduled service calls at your Current Reschedule % and your Target Reschedule %.

     

Calculation:

R/S Customer /Travel Cost Reduction = Current R/S Cost @ [Rate] per Hour -  Target R/S Cost @ [Rate] per Hour

 

Example (based on Main Report image and a Rescheduled Hour Cost value of $65.00):

R/S Customer /Travel Cost Reduction = $19,608.51375 Current R/S Cost @ $65.00 per Hour - $16,990.531458 Target R/S Cost @ $65.00 per Hour = $2,078 (rounded to nearest integer, and also displayed at the bottom of this column with two decimal positions—$2,077.98).

Note: A value greater than zero indicates the monthly cost of your technicians' customer and travel time you could save per month if you could reduce your Current Reschedule % to your Target Reschedule %. If your Target Variance is negative (indicating the current rescheduled call percentage is below the target rescheduled call percentage you specified for the report), the system will set this amount to $0.00.

Labor Impact of Rescheduled Service Calls

Potential Labor Hours to Recapture

The total customer time plus the total travel time difference between the rescheduled calls at your Current Reschedule % and the rescheduled calls at your specified Target Reschedule Percentage.

     

Calculation:

Potential Labor Hours to Recapture = Number of Incomplete Service Calls *  ( ( ( Number of Incomplete Service Calls / Number of Closed Service Calls ) - Target Reschedule Percentage) / Target Reschedule Percentage)

 

Example (based on Main Report image):

Potential Labor Hours to Recapture = 486 Incomplete Service Calls *  ( ( ( 486 Incomplete Service Calls / 4,059 Closed Service Calls ) - .10 Target Reschedule Percentage) /.10 Target Reschedule Percentage) = 95.9 (rounded to one decimal position)

Note: A value greater than zero indicates the number of technician hours your Current Reschedule %  is above your Target Reschedule %. If your Target Variance is negative (indicating the current rescheduled call percentage is below the target rescheduled call percentage you specified for the report), the system will set this amount to 0.0.

Potential Technicians (Monthly)

The number of potential technicians you could save per month if you could reduce your Current Reschedule % to your Target Reschedule Percentage. The calculation is based on multiplying the number of labor hours you could recapture by the Monthly Technician Hours parameter you specified for the report.

     

Calculation:

Potential Technicians (Monthly) = Potential Labor Hours to Recapture / Monthly Technician Hours

 

Example (based on Main Report image and a Monthly Technician Hours value of 140):

Potential Technicians (Monthly) = 95.906874 Potential Labor Hours to Recapture / 140 Monthly Technician Hours = 0.7 (rounded to one decimal position)

Note: A value greater than zero indicates the number of technicians you could save per month if you could reduce your Current Reschedule % to your Target Reschedule %. If your Target Variance is negative (indicating the current rescheduled call percentage is below the target rescheduled call percentage you specified for the report), the system will set this amount to 0.0.

Calculations and/or Comparison of Actual Values to Target Values

Inventory Turns (Dealer)

Total average cost value of items included in the report based on your Define Parts and Define Supplies parameters that were used on service calls, sales orders, and production work orders divided by 3, then divided by the current inventory value, and then multiplied by 12.

 

Calculation:

Current Inventory Turns = ((Total Average Cost of Items Included in Report that Were Used During Report Date Range on Service Calls, Sales Orders, and/or Production Work Order / 3) / Current Inventory Value Based on Average Cost) * 12

 

Example (based on Main Report image):

Current Inventory Turns = (($391,740.61 Total Average Cost of Items Included in Report that Were Used During Report Date Range on Service Calls, Sales Orders, and/or Production Work Order / 3) / 272,611.61 Current Inventory Value) * 12 = 5.7 (rounded to one decimal position)

Note: To see how the system arrives at the Total Average Cost Amount, see the Inventory Usage table on Report Page 3 and/or the Inventory Usage Details sub report. This value is the sum of the Parts Usage ($141,535.23) and Supply Usage ($250,205.38) amounts, which equals $391,740.61. To see how the system arrives at the Current Inventory Value Based on Average Cost ($272,611.61), see the Dealer Inventory Cost Details sub report.

Average Call Duration = (5,735.32 Total Customer Time + 1,615.02 Total Travel Time) / 4,059 Completed Service Calls = 1.81 (rounded to two decimal positions)

Additional Information

R/S Hours Reduction

The total customer time plus the total travel time difference between the rescheduled calls at your Current Reschedule % and the rescheduled calls at your specified Target Reschedule Percentage.

     

Calculation:

R/S Hours Reduction = Number of Incomplete Service Calls *  ( ( ( Number of Incomplete Service Calls / Number of Closed Service Calls ) - Target Reschedule Percentage) / Target Reschedule Percentage)

 

Example (based on Main Report image):

R/S Hours Reduction = 486 Incomplete Service Calls *  ( ( ( 486 Incomplete Service calls / 4,059 Closed Service Calls ) - .10 Target Reschedule Percentage) /.10 Target Reschedule Percentage) = 95.9 (rounded to one decimal position)

Note: A number greater than zero indicates the number of technician hours your Current Reschedule %  is above your Target Reschedule Percentage. If your Target Variance is negative (indicating the current rescheduled call percentage is below the target rescheduled call percentage you specified for the report), the system will set this amount to 0.0.

R/S Hours @ [Rate] % R/S

The rescheduled service call hours at your Target Reschedule Percentage.

 

Calculation:

R/S Hours @ [Rate] % R/S = (Number of Incomplete Service Calls * Average Call Duration) - R/S Hours Reduction

 

Example (based on Main Report image):

R/S Hours @ [Rate] % R/S = (486 Incomplete Service Calls * 1.810875 Hours Average Call Duration) - 95.906874 R/S Hours Reduction = 784.2 (rounded to one decimal position)

Note: See the R/S Hours Reduction section to see how the R/S Hours Reduction amount was calculated.
Note: If your Target Variance is negative (indicating the current rescheduled call percentage is below the target rescheduled call percentage you specified for the report), the system will set this amount to 0.0.

Report Label

Description and/or Calculation

Summary Table

# of Items

The number of stocked inventory items included in the report based on the Define Parts and Define Supplies filters you specified for the report (in the sample report, 908 items). The Dealer Inventory Cost Details sub report contains one row for each item included in the Define Parts filter and one row for each item included in the Define Supplies filter.  Items are sequenced by Item Number.

# of Items w/o Preferred Vendor (Number)

The number of these stocked inventory items for which no preferred vendor is specified on the Vendors tab of the Item record.

 

Calculation:

# of Items w/o Preferred Vendor (Number) = Sum(Items without a Preferred Vendor)

 

Example (based on Dealer Inventory Cost Details image):

# of Items w/o Preferred Vendor (Number) = 84 Items

Note: This count includes Item 0003, Item 0004, and 82 other items not shown in the sample image for which the Preferred Vendor column lists a value of No.

# of Items w/o Preferred Vendor (Percentage)

The percentage of these stocked inventory items for which no preferred vendor is specified on the Vendors tab of the Item record.

 

Calculation:

# of Items w/o Preferred Vendor (Percentage) = (# of Items without a Preferred Vendor / # of Items) * 100

 

Example (based on Dealer Inventory Cost Details image):

# of Items w/o Preferred Vendor (Percentage) = (84 Items without a Preferred Vendor / 908 Items) * 100 = 9% (rounded to no decimal positions)

# of Items w/ Current Cost <=0
(Number)

The number of these stocked inventory items for which the Current Cost is less than or equal to zero.

Note: The current cost used in this report is not the current cost of the item as recorded in e-automate. For more information, see the Current Cost Origin listing in this table.

 

Calculation:

# of Items w/ Current Cost <=0 (Number) = Sum(Items with Current Cost <=0)

 

Example (based on Dealer Inventory Cost Details image):

# of Items w/ Current Cost <=0 (Number) = 37 Items

Note: This count includes Item 0003 and 36 other items not shown in the sample image for which the Current Cost column lists a value of $0.00.

# of Items w/ Current Cost <=0
(Percentage)

The percentage of these stocked inventory items for which the Current Cost is less than or equal to zero.

Note: The current cost used in this report is not the current cost of the item as recorded in e-automate. For more information, see the Current Cost Origin listing in this table.

 

Calculation:

# of Items w/ Current Cost <=0 (Percentage) = (# of Items with Current Cost <=0 / # of Items) * 100

 

Example (based on Dealer Inventory Cost Details image):

# of Items w/ Current Cost <=0 (Percentage) = (37 Items with Current Cost <=0 / 908 Items) * 100 = 4% (rounded to no decimal positions)

# of Items w/ Average Cost <=0
(Number)

The number of these stocked inventory items for which the Average Cost is less than or equal to zero.

 

Calculation:

# of Items w/ Average Cost <=0 (Number) = Sum(Items with Average Cost <=0)

 

Example (based on Dealer Inventory Cost Details image):

# of Items w/ Average Cost <=0 (Number) = 28 Items

Note: This count includes Item 0005 and 27 other items not shown in the sample image for which the Average Cost column lists a value of $0.00.

# of Items w/ Average Cost <=0
(Percentage)

The percentage of these stocked inventory items for which the Average Cost is less than or equal to zero.

 

Calculation:

# of Items w/ Average Cost <=0 (Percentage) = (# of Items with Average Cost <=0 / # of Items) * 100

 

Example (based on Dealer Inventory Cost Details image):

# of Items w/ Average Cost <=0 (Percentage) = (28 Items with Average Cost <=0 / 908 Items) * 100 = 3% (rounded to no decimal positions)

# of Items w/ Average = Current Cost
(Number)

The number of these stocked inventory items for which the Average Cost equals the Current Cost.

Note: The current cost used in this report is not the current cost of the item as recorded in e-automate. For more information, see the Current Cost Origin listing in this table.

 

Calculation:

# of Items w/ Average = Current Cost (Number) = Sum(Items with Average Cost = Current Cost)

 

Example (based on Dealer Inventory Cost Details image):

# of Items w/ Average = Current Cost (Number) = 721 Items

Note: This count includes Item 0001 and 720 other items not shown in the sample image for which the Difference column lists a value of $0.00.
Note: This count does not include Item 0006. Because the system rounds displayed values to 2 decimal positions but retains 6 decimal positions during calculations, it is possible to have a displayed Current Cost that appears to equal a displayed Average Cost but have the system reflect a difference of .01 that is not apparent from the displayed values due to rounding, indicating the two values are actually not equal.

# of Items w/ Average = Current Cost
(Percentage)

The percentage of these stocked inventory items for which the Average Cost equals the Current Cost.

Note: The current cost used in this report is not the current cost of the item as recorded in e-automate. For more information, see the Current Cost Origin listing in this table.

 

Calculation:

# of Items w/ Average = Current Cost (Percentage) = (# of Items with Average Cost = Current Cost / # of Items) * 100

 

Example (based on Dealer Inventory Cost Details image):

# of Items w/ Average = Current Cost (Percentage) = (721 Items with Average Cost = Current Cost / 908 Items) * 100 = 79% (rounded to no decimal positions)

(0% is required to receive Green Check on Average Cost)

= No items included in the report have an Average Cost of less than or equal to 0 (zero)

= One or more items included in the report have an Average Cost of less than or equal to 0 (zero)

Detail Rows

Item Number

Number of the item from the Item record.

Item Description

Description of the item from the Item record.

Current Cost Origin

The system-determined source of the Current Cost used in this report.

Note: This "current" cost is not the current cost of the item as recorded in e-automate.

Calculation:

The system uses the following hierarchy to arrive at the report's "current cost" of each item in inventory that has a non-zero quantity during the reporting period:

If an item has one or more inventory layers (i.e., records in the ICLayers table associated with a cost pool) dated within the report's Date Range and ...

1) If the item's average Unit cost in the layer(s) within the report's Date Range equals the Preferred Vendor Price, then the source of the Current Cost is the Preferred Vendor Price.

2) If the previous condition is not met, then the source of the Current Cost is the Average Purchase Price.

If the item has one or more inventory layers (i.e., records in the ICLayers table associated with a cost pool), none of them are dated within the report's Date Range, and ...

3) If the item's Unit cost in the most recent layer equals the Preferred Vendor Price, then the source of the Current Cost is the Preferred Vendor Price.

4) If the previous condition is not met, then the source of the Current Cost is the Last Purchased Price.

If the item does not have any inventory layers (i.e., records in the ICLayers table associated with a cost pool) and ...

5) If a Preferred Vendor Price is present in the item's Item record, then the source of the Current Cost is the Preferred Vendor Price.

6) If a Preferred Vendor Price is not present in the item's Item record and the item's total on-hand cost divided by the total on-hand quantity is greater than zero, then the source of the Current Cost is the On-hand Cost.

7) If the previous conditions are not met, then the source of the Current Cost is the Standard Cost of the item in e-automate.

 

Examples (based on Dealer Inventory Cost Details image):

0001 Current Cost Origin = Preferred Vendor Price (Case 1 above)

Note: For Item 0001, the Inventory Availability window's FIFO layers tab (not shown in the sample image) lists one record with a Date of 11/13/2017 (within the report's Date Range) and a Unit cost of $53.00.  The item's Item record's Vendors tab lists a Preferred vendor with a Cost of $53.00. Since the preferred vendor's price ($53.00) equals the average Unit cost ($53.00) of the layer within the report's Date Range, the Current Cost Origin for the item is Preferred Vendor Price.

0002 Current Cost Origin = Preferred Vendor Price (Case 3 above)

Note: For Item 0002, the Inventory Availability window's FIFO layers tab (not shown in the sample image) lists a record with a Date of 11/15/2015 (outside the report's Date Range) and a Unit cost of $90.00. The item's Item record's Vendors tab lists a Preferred vendor with a Cost of $90.00. Since this preferred vendor price ($90.00) equals the unit cost of the most recent purchase ($90.00) on the inventory layer record, the Current Cost Origin for the item is Preferred Vendor Price.

0003 Current Cost Origin = Standard Cost (Case 7 above)

Note: For Item 0003, the Inventory Availability window does not include a FIFO layers tab, indicating no inventory layers are present. The item's Item record's Vendors tab does not list a preferred vendor, so no preferred vendor price is present. The item's Item record also lists a Standard cost of $0.00.  The Inventory Availability window's Summary region lists a Total cost of $0.00 and an On hand quantity of 3. Since $0.00 / 3 = $0.00 (which is equal to $0.00), the Current Cost Origin for the item is Standard Cost.

0004 Current Cost Origin = Onhand Cost (Case 6 above)

Note: For Item 0004, the Inventory Availability window does not include a FIFO layers tab, indicating no inventory layers are present. The item's Item record's Vendors tab does not list a preferred vendor, so no preferred vendor price is present. The Inventory Availability window's Summary region lists a Total cost of $31.00 and an On hand quantity of 5. Since $31.00 / 5 = $6.20 (which is not equal to $0.00), the Current Cost Origin for the item is Onhand Cost.

0005 Current Cost Origin = Preferred Vendor Price (Case 5 above)

Note: For Item 0005, the Inventory Availability window does not include a FIFO layers tab, indicating no inventory layers are present. The item's Item record's Vendors tab lists a preferred vendor with a Cost of $248.43. Since this preferred vendor price ($248.43) is present, the Current Cost Origin for the item is Preferred Vendor Price.

0006 Current Cost Origin = Preferred Vendor Price (Case 5 above)

Note: For Item 0006, the Inventory Availability window does not include a FIFO layers tab, indicating no inventory layers are present. The item's Item record's Vendors tab lists a Preferred vendor with a Cost of $17.15. Since this preferred vendor price ($17.15) is present, the Current Cost Origin for the item is Preferred Vendor Price.

0007 Current Cost Origin = Average Purchase Price (Case 2 above)

Note: For Item 0007, the Inventory Availability window's FIFO layers tab (not shown in the sample image) lists a record with a Date of 11/13/2017 (within the report's Date Range) and a Unit cost of $48.00 as well a record with a Date of 12/15/2017 (also within the report's Date Range) and a Unit cost of $52.00. The average of the Unit cost values within the report's Date Range is ($48.00 + $52.00)/2 = $50.00. The item's Item record's Vendors tab lists a preferred vendor with a Cost of $48.00. Since the preferred vendor price ($48.00) does not match the item's average purchase price ($50.00), the Current Cost Origin for the item is Average Purchase Price.

0008 Current Cost Origin = Last Purchase Price (Case 4 above)

Note: For Item 0008, the Inventory Availability window's FIFO layers tab (not shown in the sample image) lists a record with a Date of 11/05/2015 (outside the report's Date Range) and the item's Preferred Vendor Price ($6.45) does not equal the item's Average Cost ($7.00).

On Hand Qty

The quantity of the item on hand in inventory.

Current Cost

The item's "real" current cost based on the time period specified for the report.

Note: This "current" cost is not the current cost of the item as recorded in e-automate. For more information, see the Current Cost Origin listing in this table.

 

Calculation:

If Current Cost Origin = Average Purchase Price, then Current Cost = Sum (Unit cost of Each Inventory Layer Record in Report's Date Range)/Number of Layer Records in Report's Date Range.
If Current Cost Origin = Last Purchase Price, then Current Cost = Unit cost of Most Recent Inventory Layer Record.
If Current Cost Origin = Onhand Cost, then Current Cost = Total Cost / Total Onhand Qty.

If Current Cost Origin = Preferred Vendor Price, then Current Cost = Preferred vendor price from Item's Item record.
If Current Cost Origin = Standard Cost, then Current Cost = Standard cost from Item's Item record.

 

Examples (based on Dealer Inventory Cost Details image):

0001 Current Cost (Current Cost Origin = Preferred Vendor Price) = $53.00 (The Preferred vendor's Cost from the item's Item record)

0002 Current Cost (Current Cost Origin = Preferred Vendor Price) = $90.00 (The Preferred vendor's Cost from the item's Item record)

0003 Current Cost (Current Cost Origin = Standard Cost) = $0.00 (The Standard cost from the item's Item record)

0004 Current Cost (Current Cost Origin = Onhand Cost) = $31.00 Total Cost / 5 Total On Hand Quantity = $6.20

0005 Current Cost (Current Cost Origin = Preferred Vendor Price) = $248.43 (The Standard cost from the item's Item record)

0006 Current Cost (Current Cost Origin = Preferred Vendor Price) = $17.15 (The Preferred vendor's Cost from the item's Item record)

0007 Current Cost (Current Cost Origin = Average Purchase Price) = ($48.00 Unit Cost from First Inventory Layer Record in Report's Date Range + $52.00 from Second Inventory Layer Record in Report's Date Range)/2 Inventory Layer Records in Report's Date Range = $50.00 (Inventory Layer Records not shown)

0008 Current Cost (Current Cost Origin = Last Purchase Price) = $7.00 (The Unit cost from the Most Recent Inventory Layer Record outside Report's Date Range; Inventory Layer Record not shown)

Average Cost

The average cost of the item as listed in e-automate. In e-automate, the Average cost is listed in the Summary region on the Inventory Availability window, which is accessible from the Items list window.

Difference

The difference between the current cost and the average cost.

 

Calculation:

Difference = Current Cost - Average Cost

 

Examples (based on Dealer Inventory Cost Details image):

0001 Difference = $53.00 - $53.00 = $0.00

0002 Difference = $90.00 - $86.81 = $3.19

0003 Difference = $0.00 - $41.31 = $(41.31)

0004 Difference = $6.20 - $31.00 = $(24.80)

0005 Difference = $248.43 - $0.00 = $248.43

0006 Difference = $17.15 - $17.15 = $(0.01) 

Note: While the report displays the Current Cost and Average Cost rounded to two decimal positions, the system uses the actual Current Cost in this calculation—and the actual Current Cost may contain three decimal positions. The Average Cost is stored as a monetary value and will always only have two decimal positions. Because of the difference in the number of decimal positions used in the calculation, it is possible to have a displayed Current Cost that appears to equal a displayed Average Cost but have the system reflect a difference of .01 that is not apparent from the displayed values due to rounding. See Item 0006 in the sample report image. In this instance, the actual Current Cost (not shown in the report) is $17.145. This value rounds to a displayed value of $17.15, but the system uses the $17.145 value for the calculation.  As a result, the Difference for 0006 is actually $17.145 Current Cost - $17.15 Average Cost = $(0.005), which rounds to a two-decimal position value of $(0.01).

0005 Difference = $50.00 - $50.00 = $0.00

0006 Difference = $7.00 - $7.00 = $0.00

% of Difference

The ratio of the difference between the current cost less the average cost to the average cost.

 

Calculation:

% of Difference = (Current Cost - Average Cost) / Average Cost

 

Examples (based on Dealer Inventory Cost Details image):

0001 % of Difference = ($53.00 - $53.00) / $53.00 = 0.0%

0002 % of Difference = ($90.00 - $86.81) / $86.81 = 3.7% (rounded to one decimal position)

0003 % of Difference = ($0.00 - $41.31) / $41.31 = (100%)

0004 % of Difference = ($6.20 - $31.00) / $31.00 = (80%)

0005 % of Difference = ($248.43 - $0.00) / $248.43 = 100%

0006 % of Difference = ($17.15 - $17.15) / $17.15 = 0.0% (rounded to one decimal position)

0007 % of Difference = ($50.00 - $50.00) / $50.00 = 0.0%

0008 % of Difference = ($7.00 - $7.00) / $7.00 = 0.0%

Preferred Vendor

Yes = A preferred vendor is specified for this item on the Vendors tab of the Item record.
No = No preferred vendor is specified for this item on the Vendors tab of the Item record.

 

Examples (based on Dealer Inventory Cost Details image):

For Items 0001, 0002, 0005, 0006, 0007, and 0008, the report lists Yes in the Preferred Vendor column, indicating a preferred vendor is specified for these items on the Vendors tab of the Item record.
For Items 0003 and 0004, the report lists No in the Preferred Vendor column, indicating no preferred vendor is specified for these items on the Vendors tab of the Item record.

Report Label

Description and/or Calculation

Summary Table

Total Parts Purchases

The number of distinct stocked inventory item numbers included in the Define Parts parameter you specified for the report that were included on Purchase Order Receipts during the report's Date Range (in the sample report, 534 Part items). The Inventory Purchased Details (Item-level) sub report includes one row per part, and items (Parts and Supplies) are sequenced by Item Number.

% of Diff. = 0%
(Parts Count)

The number of stocked inventory items included in the Define Parts parameter you specified for the report for which the difference between the Maximum Purchase Price and the Minimum Purchase Price of an item on Purchase Order Receipts during the report's Date Range is equal to 0 (zero) percent of the Average Purchase Price on Purchase Order Receipts during the report's Date Range.

 

Calculation:

% of Diff. = 0% (Parts Count) = Sum(Items Where Supply or Part column = Part and % of Diff. column = 0%)

 

Example (based on Inventory Purchased Details (Item-level) sub report image):

% of Diff. = 0% (Parts Count) = Sum(Items P001 and 514 other Items not shown in the sample image) = 515

 

Note: To see how the % of Diff. is calculated for each item, see the Dealer Inventory Scorecard Report's Inventory Purchased Details (Transaction-level) sub report.

% of Diff. = 0%
(Parts Percentage)

The ratio of the % of Diff. = 0% (Parts Count) to the Total Parts Purchases.

 

Calculation:

% of Diff. = 0% (Parts Percentage) = (% of Diff. = 0% (Parts Count) / Total Parts Purchases) * 100

 

Example (based on Dealer Inventory Cost Details image):

% of Diff. = 0% (Parts Percentage) = (515 % of Diff. = 0% (Parts Count) / 534 Total Parts Purchases) * 100 = 96% (rounded to no decimal positions)

(Parts Count)

The number of stocked inventory items included in the Define Parts parameter you specified for the report for which the difference between the Maximum Purchase Price and the Minimum Purchase Price of an item on Purchase Order Receipts during the report's Date Range is greater than 0 (zero) percent and less than 25 percent of the Average Purchase Price on Purchase Order Receipts during the report's Date Range.

 

Calculation:

% of Diff. > 0% and < 25% (Parts Count) = Sum(Items Where Supply or Part column = Part and % of Diff. column > 0% and < 25%)

 

Example (based on Inventory Purchased Details (Item-level) sub report image):

% of Diff. > 0% and < 25% (Parts Count) = Sum(Item P002 and 2 other Items not shown in the sample image) = 3

 

Note: To see how the % of Diff. is calculated for each item, see the Dealer Inventory Scorecard Report's Inventory Purchased Details (Transaction-level) sub report.

% of Diff. > 0% and < 25%
(Parts Percentage)

The ratio of the % of Diff. > 0% and < 25% (Parts Count) to the Total Parts Purchases.

 

Calculation:

% of Diff. > 0% and < 25% (Parts Percentage) = (% of Diff. > 0% and < 25% (Parts Count) / Total Parts Purchases) * 100

 

Example (based on Inventory Purchased Details (Item-level) sub report image):

% of Diff. > 0% and < 25% (Parts Percentage) = (3 % of Diff. > 0% and < 25% (Parts Count) / 534 Total Parts Purchases) * 100 = 1% (rounded to no decimal positions)

% of Diff. >= 25% and < 50%
(Parts Count)

The number of stocked inventory items included in the Define Parts parameter you specified for the report for which the difference between the Maximum Purchase Price and the Minimum Purchase Price of an item on Purchase Order Receipts during the report's Date Range is greater than or equal to 25 percent and less than 50 percent of the Average Purchase Price on Purchase Order Receipts during the report's Date Range.

 

Calculation:

Total for S004 on Receipt 10006 = $202.72 Purchase Price * 1 Quantity = $202.72

Total for S004 on Receipt 10007 = $202.72 Purchase Price * 1 Quantity = $202.72

Total for S004 on Receipt 10008 = $202.72 Purchase Price * 1 Quantity = $202.72

From Preferred Vendor?

Yes = The vendor from whom this item was purchased on this receipt is listed as the preferred vendor for this item on the Vendors tab of the Item record.
No = The vendor from whom this item was purchased on this receipt is not listed as the preferred vendor for this item on the Vendors tab of the Item record.

 

Example (based on Inventory Purchased Details (Transaction-level) sub report images):

P001 on Receipt 10001 = Yes

P002 on Receipt 10002 = Yes

P002 on Receipt 10003 = Yes

P002 on Receipt 10004 = Yes

S003 on Receipt 10005 = No

S004 on Receipt 10006 = Yes

S004 on Receipt 10007 = No

S004 on Receipt 10008 = No

Total Receipts

The total number of receipts during the report's Date Range that have a quantity of the item.

 

Calculation:

Total Receipts = Sum(Receipts Containing Item)

 

Example (based on Inventory Purchased Details (Transaction-level) sub report images):

Total Receipts for P001 = (Receipt 10001) = 1

Total Receipts for P002 = (Receipt 10002 + Receipt 10003 + Receipt 10004) = 3

Total Receipts for S003 = (Receipt 10005) = 1

Total Receipts for S004 = (Receipt 10006 + Receipt 10007 + Receipt 10008) = 3

Total Quantity

The total quantity of an item on all receipts during the report's Date Range.

 

Calculation:

Quantity Total = Sum(Quantity on Receipts)

 

Example (based on Inventory Purchased Details (Transaction-level) sub report images):

Total Quantity for P001 = (2 on Receipt 10001) = 2

Total Quantity for P002 = (1 on Receipt 10002 + 1 on Receipt 10003 + 1 on Receipt 10004) = 3

Total Quantity for S003 = (2 on Receipt 10005) = 2

Total Quantity for S004 = (1 on Receipt 10006 + 1 on Receipt 10007 + 1 on Receipt 10008) = 3

Dead Inventory (Zero Inventory Turn) Details Sub ReportDead Inventory (Zero Inventory Turn) Details Sub Report

Following is a sample Dealer Inventory Scorecard Report's Dead Inventory Details sub report.

The following table explains how the data in the Dead Inventory Details sub report is used to calculate amounts displayed on the main report.

Report Label

Description and/or Calculation

Summary Table

Active Inventory Value

The sum of the average costs of all items included in the report based on your Define Parts and Define Supplies parameters that have an on-hand quantity greater than 0 (zero) and that do not meet your Dead Inventory Use Months and Dead Inventory Receipt Months parameters for what constitutes dead inventory.

     

Calculation:

Active Inventory Value = Sum(Average Cost of All Items Included in Report) - Sum(Average Cost of All Dead Inventory Items Included in Report)

 

Example (based on Main Report image using Dead Inventory Use Months = 18 months and Dead Inventory Receipt Months = 18 months):

Active Inventory Value = $272,611.61 Average Cost of All Items Included in Report - $4,932.96 Average Cost of Dead Inventory Items Included in Report = $267,679 (rounded to nearest integer)

Note: To see how the system arrives at the Dead Inventory Value ($4,932.96) to subtract from the Current Inventory Value ($272,611.61) to calculate the Active Inventory Value ($267,678.85), see the Dead Inventory Value and Current Inventory Value sections of this table.

Dead Inventory Value

The sum of the average costs of all items included in the report based on your Define Parts and Define Supplies parameters that meets your Dead Inventory Use Months and/or Dead Inventory Receipt Months parameters for what constitutes dead inventory. The Dead Inventory Details sub report lists one row for each item that meets the dead inventory criteria.  Items are sequenced by Item Number.

     

Calculation:

Dead Inventory Value = Sum(Average Cost of All Dead Inventory Items Included in Report)

 

Example (based on Main Report image using Dead Inventory Use Months = 18 months and Dead Inventory Receipt Months = 18 months):

Dead Inventory Value = $4,933 (rounded to nearest integer)

Note: To get the exact monetary amount of the Dead Inventory Value, export the Dead Inventory (Zero Inventory Turn) Details sub report data to an Excel file and sum the Cost column (Column E).

Current Inventory Value

The total inventory average cost (inventory quantity * average cost) of the items included in the Define Parts and Define Supplies parameters you specified for the report.

 

Calculation:

Current Inventory Value = Sum(Inventory Quantity * Average Cost for Each Item Included in Report)

 

Example (based on Dead Inventory Details image):

Current Inventory Value = $272,612 (rounded to nearest integer)

Note: The Dealer Inventory Cost Details sub report lists the details on which this number is based. To get the exact monetary amount of the Current Inventory Value ($272,611.61), export the Dealer Inventory Cost Details sub report data to an Excel file, multiply the Quantity column (Column D) by the Average Cost column (Column F) and store the results in Column J, and then sum Column J.

% at Dead Level

The ratio of Dead Inventory Value to Current Inventory Value.

 

Calculation:

% at Dead Level = Dead Inventory Value / Current Inventory Value

 

Example (based on Dead Inventory Details image):

% at Dead Level = $4,933 / $272,612 = 2% (0.018095 rounded to two decimal positions)

Detail Rows (Dead Inventory Only)

Item Number

Item number from the Item record identifying a specific item that meets your criteria for being dead inventory.

Item Description

Description of the item from the Item record.

On Hand Quantity

The on-hand quantity of the item. In e-automate, the On hand quantity is listed in the Summary region on the Inventory Availability window, which is accessible from the Items list window.

 

Example (based on Dead Inventory Details image):

On Hand Quantity of P005 = 5

On Hand Quantity of S006 = 1

On Hand Quantity of S007 = 3

Average Cost

The average cost of the item. In e-automate, the Average cost is listed in the Summary region on the Inventory Availability window, which is accessible from the Items list window.

 

Example (based on Dead Inventory Details image):

Average Cost of 1 P005 = $31.00

Average Cost of 1 S006 = $91.04

Average Cost of 1 S007 = $39.49

Total Cost

The total average cost of the quantity of the item on hand.

 

Calculation:

Total Cost = On Hand Quantity * Average Cost

 

Example (based on Dead Inventory Details image):

Total Cost of P005 = 5 On Hand Quantity * $31.00 Average Cost = $155.00

Total Cost of S006 = 1 On Hand Quantity * $91.04 Average Cost = $91.04

Total Cost of S007 = 3 On Hand Quantity * $39.49 Average Cost = $118.47

Last Receipt Date

The date—if any—on which this dead inventory item was last received into inventory. If the item was last received into inventory more than the number of Dead Inventory Receipt Months prior to the Month/Year of the end date in the Date Range you specified for the report, then the system lists the last receipt date. If the item was not received into inventory prior to the end date of the Date Range, then the system lists "No Receipt".

 

Calculation:

Dead Inventory Receipt Date Cutoff = Date Range End Date Month and Year - Dead Inventory Receipt Months
If receipt exists prior to report End Date, list date if Receipt Date Month and Year < Dead Inventory Receipt Date Cutoff

If no receipt exists prior to report End Date, list "No Receipt".

 

Example (based on Dead Inventory Details image and 18 Dead Inventory Receipt Months):

Dead Inventory Receipt Date Cutoff = 12/2017 End Date Month and Year - 18 Dead Inventory Receipt Months = 6/2016

P005 = No Receipt.  The item was not received into inventory prior to the 12/31 Report End Date.

S006 = No Receipt.  The item was not received into inventory prior to the 12/31 Report End Date.

S007 = Jun 25, 2015. The last receipt date is prior to 6/2016.

Last Use Date

The date—if any—on which this dead inventory item was last used on a sales invoice. If the item was last used on a sales invoice more than the number of Dead Inventory Use Months prior to the Month/Year of the end date in the Date Range you specified for the report, then the system lists the last used date. If the item was not used on a sales invoice prior to the end date of the Date Range, then the system lists "No Sales Use".

 

Calculation:

Dead Inventory Use Date Cutoff = Date Range End Date Month and Year - Dead Inventory Use Months
If sales use exists prior to report End Date, list date if Receipt Date Month and Year < Dead Inventory Use Date Cutoff

If no sales use exists prior to report End Date, list "No Sales Use".

 

Example (based on Dead Inventory Details image and 18 Dead Inventory Use Months):

Dead Inventory Use Date Cutoff = 12/2017 End Date Month and Year - 18 Dead Inventory Use Months = 6/2016

P005 = No Sales Use.  The item was not used on a sales invoice prior to the 12/31 Report End Date.

S006 = No Sales Use.  The item was not used on a sales invoice prior to the 12/31 Report End Date.

S007 = May 02, 2016. The last sales use date is prior to 6/2016.

Last Service Use Date

The date—if any—on which this dead inventory item was last used on a service invoice. If the item was last used on a service invoice more than the number of Dead Inventory Use Months prior to the Month/Year of the end date in the Date Range you specified for the report, then the system lists the last used date. If the item was not used on a service invoice prior to the end date of the Date Range, then the system lists "No Service Use".

 

Calculation:

Dead Inventory Use Date Cutoff = Date Range End Date Month and Year - Dead Inventory Use Months
If service use exists prior to report End Date, list date if Receipt Date Month and Year < Dead Inventory Use Date Cutoff

If no service use exists prior to report End Date, list "No Sales Use".

 

Example (based on Dead Inventory Details image and 18 Dead Inventory Use Months):

Dead Inventory Use Date Cutoff = 12/2017 End Date Month and Year - 18 Dead Inventory Use Months = 6/2016

P005 = No Service Use.  The item was not used on a service invoice prior to the 12/31 Report End Date.

S006 = No Service Use.  The item was not used on a service invoice prior to the 12/31 Report End Date.

S007 = May 02, 2016. The last service use date is prior to 6/2016.

Last Work Order Use Date

The date—if any—on which this dead inventory item was last used on a production work order. If the item was last used on a production work order more than the number of Dead Inventory Use Months prior to the Month/Year of the end date in the Date Range you specified for the report, then the system lists the last used date. If the item was not used on a service invoice prior to the end date of the Date Range, then the system lists "No Service Use".

 

Calculation:

Dead Inventory Use Date Cutoff = Date Range End Date Month and Year - Dead Inventory Use Months
If production work order use exists prior to report End Date, list date if Receipt Date Month and Year < Dead Inventory Use Date Cutoff

If no production work order use exists prior to report End Date, list "No Work Order Use".

 

Example (based on Dead Inventory Details image and 18 Dead Inventory Use Months):

Dead Inventory Use Date Cutoff = 12/2017 End Date Month and Year - 18 Dead Inventory Use Months = 6/2016

P005 = No Work Order Use.  The item was not used on a production work order prior to the 12/31 Report End Date.

S006 = No Work Order Use.  The item was not used on a production work order prior to the 12/31 Report End Date.

S007 = No Work Order Use.  The item was not used on a production work order prior to the 12/31 Report End Date.

Inventory Usage Details Sub ReportInventory Usage Details Sub Report

Following is a sample Dealer Inventory Scorecard Report's Dealer Inventory Usage Details sub report. Note that Item Number P002, which appears on the Dealer Inventory Cost Details and Inventory Purchased Details sub reports does not appear on this report, indicating the item was not used during this period, but also does not appear on the Dead Inventory Details sub report, indicating the item does not yet meet the criteria specified for counting the item as dead inventory.

The following table explains how the data in the Inventory Usage Details sub report is used to calculate the amounts displayed on the main report.

Report Label

Description and/or Calculation

Item Number

Item number from the Item record identifying a specific item that was used on a Sales Order, Service Call, and/or Production Work Order during the report's Date Range.

Item Description

Description of the item from the Item record.

Supply or Part

Part - The item is included in the Define Parts filter you specified for the report.

Supply- The item is included in the Define Supplies filter you specified for the report.

Note: The Define Parts and Define Supplies filters you define for the report should not overlap. If they do, an item included in both filters will be listed twice on the sub report — once as a Part and once as a Supply, causing the Inventory Usage Details to be inflated.

Example (based on Inventory Usage Details image):

P001 = Part

S003 = Supply

S004 = Supply

Average Cost

The item's average cost as recorded in the Avg. cost column of the Inventory Availability window, which is accessible from the Item record in e-automate.

 

Example (based on Inventory Usage Details image):

Average Cost of 1 P001 = $363.00

Average Cost of 1 S003 = $8.44

Average Cost of 1 S004 = $202.72

Service Call (Quantity Used)

The quantity of the item used on a service call during the Date Range you specified for the report.

 

Example (based on Inventory Usage Details image):

Quantity of P001 Used on Service Calls = 2

Quantity of S003 Used on Service Calls = 0

Quantity of S004 Used on Service Calls = 1

Sales Orders (Quantity Used)

The quantity of the item used on a sales order during the Date Range you specified for the report.

 

Example (based on Inventory Usage Details image):

Quantity of P001 Used on Sales Orders = 0

Quantity of S003 Used on Sales Orders = 2

Quantity of S004 Used on Sales Orders = 1

Work Orders (Quantity Used)

The quantity of the item used on a production work order during the Date Range you specified for the report.

 

Example (based on Inventory Usage Details image):

Quantity of P001 Used on Work Orders = 0

Quantity of S003 Used on Work Orders = 0

Quantity of S004 Used on Work Orders = 1

Total (Quantity Used)

The total quantity of the item used on all service calls, sales orders, and production work orders within the Date Range you specified for the report.

 

Calculation:

Total (Quantity Used) = Service Calls (Quantity Used) + Sales Orders (Quantity Used) + [Production] Work Orders (Quantity Used)

 

Example (based on Inventory Usage Details image):

P001 Total (Quantity Used) = 2 Service Calls (Quantity Used) + 0 Sales Orders (Quantity Used) + 0 [Production] Work Orders (Quantity Used) = 2

S003 Total (Quantity Used) = 0 Service Calls (Quantity Used) + 2 Sales Orders (Quantity Used) + 0 [Production] Work Orders (Quantity Used) = 2

S004 Total (Quantity Used) = 1 Service Calls (Quantity Used) + 1 Sales Orders (Quantity Used) + 1 [Production] Work Orders (Quantity Used) = 3

Total Usage (Average Cost)

The total quantity of the item used on all service calls, sales orders, and production work orders within the Date Range you specified for the report multiplied by the item's Average Cost.

 

Calculation:

Total Usage (Average Cost) = Total (Quantity Used) * Average Cost

 

Example (based on Inventory Usage Details image):

P001 Total Usage (Average Cost) = 2 Total (Quantity Used) * $363.00 = $726.00

S003 Total Usage (Average Cost) = 2 Total (Quantity Used) * $8.44 = $16.88

S004 Total Usage (Average Cost) = 2 Total (Quantity Used) * $202.72 = $608.16

Service Call Details Sub ReportService Call Details Sub Report

Following is a sample Dealer Inventory Scorecard Report's Service Call Details sub report. This sub report includes details for each call that was marked complete or incomplete during the Date Range you specified for the report.

The following table explains how the data in the Service Call Details sub report is used to calculate the amounts displayed in the main report.

Report Label

Description and/or Calculation

Call Number

The Call number on the service call work order, identifying a service call that was marked complete or incomplete within the report's Date Range. Calls are sequenced on the Service Call Details sub report by Call number.

Customer

The name of the Customer associated with the service call.

Call Description

The Call type description associated with the service call.

Start Date

The Call received at date on the service work order.

Close Date

The service call's Date closed.
Note: This field is blank if the call is marked incomplete and has not yet been closed.

Incomplete Call?

Yes = The service call was marked incomplete and rescheduled.
No = The service call was completed.

Note: If a service call is marked incomplete in e-automate but not rescheduled, the service call does not appear on this report until its Status changes. If the call is subsequently changed to closed (e.g., the Status is updated to Completed), the call will appear on the report with an Incomplete Call? value of No. For this reason, if your company leaves incomplete calls open without rescheduling them until such time as the original call can be closed, this report will not provide an accurate picture of your company's rescheduled call percentage.

Rescheduled Call Number

The Call number of the follow-up service call the system generates when an incomplete call is rescheduled.

Status

Cleared = The service call is marked complete and the Ready to review (cleared) box on the Service Invoice window is checked, but the Invoice box in the Service calls table is not checked.
Completed = The service call is marked complete, but the Invoice box in the Service calls table and the Ready to review (cleared) box are not checked on the Service Invoice window.
Dispatched = The service call is marked incomplete, a rescheduled call has been generated, and no further action has been taken on the original call.

Note: The report does not list dispatched calls that are not marked incomplete.
Invoiced = The service call has been invoiced.
OK to Invoice = The service call is marked complete and both the Invoice box in the Service calls table and the Ready to review (cleared) box are checked on the Service Invoice window, but the service call has not yet been invoiced.

If the Call's Status is Invoiced, the report includes the following additional information for the call:

Total Labor Hours

The total number of standard labor hours (billable hours worked on a service all during normal business hours) listed per Labor record associated with a service call.

 

Calculation:

Total Labor Hours = Max((DateDiff(ArrivalDateTime, DepartureDateTime) - (Overtime included in DateDiff(ArrivalDateTime, DepartureDateTime) - Interrupt Hours)),(1 - Overtime))

Note: If a user overrides the system-calculated value displayed in the Labor hours field of the Add/Edit Labor window, Total Labor Hours = Labor hours field override value.

 

Example (based on Service Call Details image with "XX" representing the year portion of the date):

SC1140 Total Labor Hours = Max ((DateDiff(10/10/XX 2:25 PM, 10/10/XX 8:25 PM) - (Overtime included in DateDiff(10/10/XX 2:05 PM, 10/10/XX 8:25 PM) - 1 Interrupt Hour)),(1 - Overtime)) = Max((6 Hours - (3.4167 Overtime Hours - 1.0 Interrupt Hours)) ,(1 - 3.4167 Overtime Hours)) = 2.5833 Hours (rounded to four decimal positions)

SC1141Total Labor Hours (first labor record) = Max ((DateDiff(10/10/XX 2:30 PM, 10/10/XX 3:30 PM) - (Overtime included in DateDiff(10/10/XX 2:30 PM, 10/10/XX 3:30 PM) - 0 Interrupt Hour)),(1 - 0 Overtime Hours)) = Max((1 Hour - (0.0 Overtime Hours - 0.0 Interrupt Hours)),(1 - 0.0 Overtime Hours)) = 1.0000 Hours (rounded to four decimal positions)

SC1141 Total Labor Hours (second labor record) = Max ((DateDiff(10/10/XX 4:00 PM, 10/10/XX 5:00 PM) - (Overtime included in DateDiff(10/10/XX 4:00 PM, 10/10/XX 5:00 PM) - 0 Interrupt Hour)),(1 - 0 Overtime Hours)) = Max((1 Hour - (0.0 Overtime Hours - 0.0 Interrupt Hours)),(1 - 0.0 Overtime Hours)) = 1.0000 Hours (rounded to four decimal positions)

Note: For additional examples of standard labor hour calculations, see the Service Statistics topic.

Total Overtime Hours

The total number of overtime labor hours (billable hours worked on a service all outside of normal business hours) listed per Labor record associated with a service call.

 

Calculation:

Overtime Hours per Call = Max (((Overtime included in DateDiff(ArrivalDateTime, DepartureDateTime)) - (Interrupt Hours)),(1 - Billable Hours))

Note: If a user overrides the system-calculated value displayed in the Overtime hours field of the Add/Edit Labor window, Overtime Hours per Call = Overtime hours field override value

 

Example of Overtime Hours per Call (based on Service Call Details image with no override value in the Overtime hours field and with "XX" representing the year portion of the date):

SC1140 Overtime Hours = Max (((Overtime included in DateDiff(10/10/XX 2:05 PM, 10/10/XX 8:25 PM)) - (1 Interrupt Hour)),(1 - 2.5833 Billable Hours)) = Max ((3.4167 Overtime Hours - 1 Interrupt Hour),(-1.5833 Billable Hours)) = 2.4167 Hours (rounded to four decimal positions)

Note: For additional examples of overtime hour calculations, see the Service Statistics topic.

Total Interrupt Hours

The total number of work interruption hours listed per Labor record associated with a service call.

Note: In the Service Call Details sample image above, for Call Number SC1140, the Labor record's Work interruptions table lists 1 hour of work interruption time. For Call Number SC1141, the rep entered two separate labor records. A work interruption may have occurred between the first and second labor record, but no work interruption time was recorded in either Labor record's Work interruptions table so there is no work interruption time recorded for the service call.

Total Travel Hours

The total time between the Dispatch Date/Time and the Arrival Date/Time per Labor record associated with a service call.

 

Calculation:

Total Travel Hours = Time Difference between Dispatch Date/Time and Arrival Date/Time per Labor Record

 

Example (based on Service Call Details image with "XX" representing the year portion of the date):

SC1140 Travel Hours = Time Difference (10/10/XX 2:05 PM Dispatch Date/Time and 10/10/XX 2:25 PM Dispatch Date/Time) = 0.3333 Hours (rounded to four decimal positions)

SC1141 Travel Hours (first labor record) = Time Difference (10/10/XX 2:18 PM Dispatch Date/Time and 10/10/XX 2:30 PM Arrival Date/Time) = 0.2000 Hours (rounded to four decimal positions)

SC1141 Travel Hours (second labor record) = Time Difference (10/10/XX 4:00 PM Dispatch Date/Time and 10/10/XX 4:00 PM Arrival Date/Time) = 0.0000 Hours

Note: In this instance, both Labor records are for the same service call. In other instances, a service call may have multiple Labor records if a primary rep and one or more assistant reps add a Labor record to the service call.

Total Hours

The sum of all the hours listed for the service call.

 

Calculation:

Total Hours = Total Labor Hours + Total Overtime Hours + Total Interrupt Hours + Total Travel Hours

 

Example (based on Service Call Details image):

SC1140 Total Hours = 2.5833 Total Labor Hours + 2.4167 Total Overtime Hours + 1.0000 Total Interrupt Hours + 0.3333 Total Travel Hours = 6.3333 Hours

SC1141 Travel Hours (first labor record) = 1.0 Total Labor Hours + 0.0 Total Overtime Hours + 0.0 Total Interrupt Hours + 0.2000 Total Travel Hours = 1.2000 Hours

SC1141 Travel Hours (second labor record) = 1.0000 Total Labor Hours + 0.0000 Total Overtime Hours + 0.0000 Total Interrupt Hours + 0.0000 Total Travel Hours = 1.0000 Hours
