Case Study & Technical Analysis: CAC Item List Price vs. Item Cost
Executive Summary
The CAC Item List Price vs. Item Cost report is a margin analysis tool that compares the official List Price (from the Item Master) against the Item Cost (Standard or Average). It also brings in the “Last PO Price” to provide a market-based reference point. This report is essential for ensuring that pricing strategies are aligned with current cost realities.
Business Challenge
Maintaining healthy margins requires constant vigilance.
- Price Drift: List prices often remain static while costs fluctuate.
- Currency Complexity: A global price list in USD needs to be compared against manufacturing costs in EUR, JPY, etc.
- Market Reality: The Standard Cost might be outdated; comparing against the “Last PO Price” gives a better indication of the current replacement cost.
Solution
This report provides a multi-dimensional view of value.
- Currency Normalization: Converts all figures (List Price, Cost, PO Price) to a single “To Currency” for accurate comparison.
- Triple Comparison:
- List Price vs. Cost Type 1 (e.g., Frozen)
- List Price vs. Cost Type 2 (e.g., Pending)
- List Price vs. Last PO Price
- Margin Calculation: Automatically calculates the margin percentage for each comparison.
Technical Architecture
The report integrates data from three distinct modules:
- Inventory:
mtl_system_itemsfor List Price. - Costing:
cst_item_costsfor the internal cost. - Purchasing:
po_lines_all(and related tables) to find the most recent Purchase Order for the item. - GL:
gl_daily_ratesfor currency conversion.
Parameters
- Cost Type 1: (Mandatory) Primary cost for comparison.
- Cost Type 2: (Optional) Secondary cost (e.g., Simulation).
- To Currency Code: (Mandatory) The target currency for reporting.
- Currency Conversion Date: (Mandatory) The date to use for exchange rates.
Performance
- PO Lookup: Finding the “Last PO” for every item can be resource-intensive. The report uses optimized logic to find the latest approved PO line.
- Currency: Requires a valid exchange rate for the specified date; otherwise, conversion may fail or return null.
FAQ
Q: Which List Price does it use?
A: It uses the list_price_per_unit field from the Master Item table (mtl_system_items). It does not look at Advanced Pricing modifiers.
Q: Why is the Last PO Price blank? A: If the item has never been purchased (e.g., it’s a Make item or a new item), there will be no PO history.
Q: Does it include tax? A: Generally, Oracle PO prices and Item Costs exclude recoverable taxes (VAT/GST).
