Operational Reporting - Use Case
Job closing challenges in Epicor and the FastClose solution
Job closure often fails because transactions across modules are incomplete or mis timed. FastClose provides a control layer that makes job status and WIP impact clear.
Watch: Job Closing Control driving faster Month End in Epicor
See how the FastClose ‘Job Closing’ Report highlights missing transactions, identifies those jobs ready for closure, and both supports and drives a controlled month end process.
Why jobs get stuck
- Jobs touch inventory, production, costing, subcontracting and finance so one missing step blocks closure
- Closing a job does not always guarantee WIP is cleared
- Partial receipts or shipments can leave WIP behind and distort COS
- Manufacturing variances can be hard to trace without detailed breakdown
- Multi site and multi company setups increase complexity
- Auto job closing is often under configured leading to exception backlog
FastClose Job Closing Report
Provides a clear view of each job and what must be completed before closure, with full drill down to investigate variances and missing transactions.
- Highlights missing or incomplete transactions
- Identifies jobs ready for closure and safe WIP clearance
- Drill down to root cause across material, labour, burden and subcontract
- Supports a controlled month end process around Capture COS and WIP Activity
Operational reporting is fundamentally different from FP&A
Operational reporting focuses on running the business, keeping track of production processes, in real time.
FP&A focuses on analysing the financials and planning what happens next.
FastClose does both.
Operational reporting
Live, drillable reporting for managers to monitor performance, costs and activity as they happen.
- Runs the business in real time
- Drill down through modules to source transactions
- Covers operational modules beyond the general ledger
- Supports immediate action and control
FP&A
Financial analysis, budgeting and forecasting that typically operates on monthly, quarterly or annual cycles.
- Centred on general ledger outcomes
- Often limited to a GL, AP and AR context
- Primarily historical financial data with forward looking planning
- Less focus on operational drill and transactions
