Purpose
To highlight variances between actual and expected costs for a single commodity over commonly used time periods.

Reporting Items
  • Total commodity normalised monthly cost as at 13 months previous
  • Total commodity normalised monthly cost in previous month (current -1)
  • Percentage normalised monthly cost difference between that in previous month and that a year earlier.
  • Total commodity normalised (actual) monthly cost in previous month
  • Total commodity forecast (budget) monthly cost in previous month
  • Total commodity expected (projected) monthly cost in previous month
  • Variance (percentage difference) between expected and forecast Cost in previous month

  • Total commodity forecast (budget) monthly cost in financial year to date
  • Total commodity expected (projected) monthly cost in financial year to date
  • Variance (percentage difference) between expected and forecast Cost in financial year to date
  • Commodity cost variance (percentage difference between actual and projected values) in financial year to date

Start date
End date
Highlight threshold
Reporting period (month or quarter)
Category
Note: The highlight threshold sets the value over which a variance or difference is highlighted in the table.
* Cells containing negative differences (i.e. cost has fallen) are shaded green, positive differences are shaded red
* Cells containing negative variances (i.e. Cost is higher than forecast) are shaded red, positive differences are shaded green



Note: By default the tracker uses forecast data from a budget where one has been defined.  In this case tracking takes place against
forecast data that is fixed over the time frame of the budget.  Where no budget has been defined, the tracker reports difference and
variance against system generated forecast data.  Forecast data is periodically regenerated as new consumption data is received. 
This means, where no budget has been fixed, subtle month by month changes in variance data may be noted (occurring mostly in the current quarter).
