U9 cloud Cost Simulation: Compare Material, Routing and Overhead Scenarios
Model material price, BOM, labour and overhead-rate scenarios without changing the official cost baseline.
Learning objective
Complete a reproducible simulation isolated from production data and useful for a decision.
Roles
Finance leads, cost accountants, process owners, IT, key users, consultants and internal audit
Prerequisites
- Confirm organisations, periods, currencies, masters and access ownership.
- Prepare approved representative normal, exception and reversal data.
- Define cut-off, interface boundaries, approvals and change rules.
Completion checks
- Results trace in both directions to source document and accountable role.
- Quantity, amount, period and status agree across business and finance views.
- Open items retain cause, amount, owner, action and closure evidence.
Common errors
- Masking source-data errors with ledger adjustments.
- Failing to freeze version and period, making results irreproducible.
- Testing only normal flow while ignoring reversals, late and cross-period activity.
Thailand project note
Thai implementations should confirm Thai/English masters, THB and foreign currencies, Asia/Bangkok time, segregation of duties, approval evidence and local document retention. This tutorial covers ERP data, process and controls only; VAT, WHT, BOI, customs and statutory-accounting conclusions require current review by qualified Thai professionals.

Steps
- 01
Define the decision, product scope, volume, currency, time horizon and comparison baseline.
- 02
Copy approved BOM, routing, prices and rates into a controlled simulation version.
- 03
Change only explicit variables in each scenario and record assumption, source, owner and expiry.
- 04
Model material increase, yield change, labour improvement and volume change separately, retaining calculation versions.
- 05
Compare unit cost, composition and total impact, showing uncertainty rather than one-point promises.
- 06
Have purchasing, engineering, production and finance review whether assumptions are executable.
- 07
After approval, update the business baseline through formal change control; never write simulation values directly to production.
Implementation notes
- Pilot in one representative organisation and period before scaling.
- Retain source, owner, approval and closure evidence for every difference.
- Menus, fields, licences and automation depend on the current release and approved blueprint.
