This workbook gives a transversal and consolidated view of manufacturing costs (from sites to GBU level) for all plants managed in WP1.



Access the workbook

The workbook to be used is BW_WBK_CO_0019 - BW - IMEP - WP1 Manuf. Local database (Core Workbook) 

=> Go to Analysis for Office in excel 

=> Click "Open Data Source"

Go to the tab "Role" and open the folder IMEP - Integrated Manufacturing & Energy Performance => Manufacturing 

Double-click on the workbook BW_WBK_CO_0019 - BW - IMEP - WP1 Manuf. Local database (Core Workbook) to open it



Open the workbook

It is mandatory to enter the period (1) : MMM.YYYY

It is also recommended to enter at least a GBU (6), a company code (7) or a plant code (11)

It is also possible to enter:

  • a target currency (3) to have all values converted with the same currency
  • a Unit of Measure for the quantity conversion (ex: TO for Tons) (4)
  • a Unit of Measure for Active ingredients (5)
  • a Cost center (8)
  • an Index 1 (9) 
  • a material code (10)

Click "OK" 



How to understand the report

By default there are 11 columns in the report: 

  1. The source system = WP1_400 (star)
  2. The Controlling Area (star)
  3. The production plant
  4. The material = The finished product
  5. The Index 1
  6. The Origin 
  7. The Actual quantity produced
  8. The Actual costs of production splited by 
    • Actual Variable costs (9)
    • Actual Fixed costs (10)
    • Actual Depreciation (11)

(star) It is recommended to keep these columns in your report to avoid that all master data start with "WP1_400/" or "Z006/" but you can hide them in the design panel. Click on the dimension you want to hide and select "No display"



In this example the material 11830 ZEOSIL 1165MP BULK was produced during the period in plant 0087:

  1. 2 763 Tons were produced and the total production costs is 1 513 312,29 EUR
  2. 49 Tons of co-products were also produced and the total production costs is 492,40 EUR
  3. The production of the finished product & the co-product was done with 11 533 Tons of Raw materials. And the total cost of these raw materials was 824 265,21 EUR
  4. Activities (Labour, energy, fixed costs) were also allocated to the production costs of these products with a total costs of 688 054,53 EUR
  5. The variance between actual production costs & standard costs (=process order variance) is 1 484,95 EUR
  6. The total should be zero as the total production costs (Index 1 = 1 & 2) corresponds to the cost of raw material & activities  + variances (Index 1 = 3, 5 & 6)



Set-up a detailed report

when you have a good understanding of the report, you can add additional information in the report. You can refer to the list IMEP - Characteristics to have a definition of each dimension available in iMEP reports. 

For instance add:

  1. the field "Origin" to have additional details by raw material & activity
  2. the measures "Actual Costs VC", "Actual Costs FX" & "Actual Costs DP" (c) to have the split of costs by variables costs, fixed costs and depreciation

=> You can also add the QUR, QUS, CUR, CUS (actual and standard unit quantity & cost)



Going further with iMEP

  • IMEP - CharacteristicsList of Characteristics & Measures available in the BW application iMEP with the link to more detailed documentation when it exists.
  • IMEP - Index 1In the application iMEP, the caracteristic Index 1 is a key element to understand to set-up an accurate report to follow production quantities and costs.
  • IMEP - PF1 Manuf. Local databaseThis workbook gives a transversal and consolidated view of manufacturing costs (from sites to GBU level) for all plants managed in PF1.
  • IMEP - WP1 Manuf. Local databaseThis workbook gives a transversal and consolidated view of manufacturing costs (from sites to GBU level) for all plants managed in WP1.
  • IMEP - PF1 Check of data consistencyThe aim of this workbook is to validate the quality of the data reported in imep for the sites in PF1.
  • IMEP - PF1 ML synthesisThis report answers a specific need of GBUs operating in PF1 who wants to better understand the impact of the stock effects in their P&L. It can be used as the report Z1K_CONS_ESTO in PF1 but for a wider scope.
