Learning objective

Build a verifiable chain from loss quantity and cost impact to responsible cause and corrective closure.

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

01Define mutually exclusive categories for scrap, rework, repair, downgrade and recoverable material.
02Create reason codes, responsible departments, inspection results and approval authority; avoid free text alone.
03At the operation where loss occurs, record quantity, material, labour, machine time and disposition.
04Use controlled orders or operations for rework so completed output is not double counted.
05Calculate loss quantity and cost impact by product, order, operation and cause.
06Set frequency, amount and percentage thresholds; assign material issues to quality, production or engineering.
07Review occurrence rate and unit cost after action, closing only after the agreed observation period.

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.
