Cost by Product
Aggregates costs across all work orders for a given product over a selected period. Useful for pricing reviews and long-term profitability analysis.
Overhead Absorption Report
Shows how much overhead was applied to production versus what was actually incurred, and the resulting over/under-absorption balance.
Cost Trend Analysis
A time-series view of unit costs over multiple periods, helping to spot cost increases, seasonal patterns, or the impact of process improvements.
