Full visibility costing and spend control across standard, actual, and ABC models. Automate BOM and routing rollups, PPV and usage and mix and yield variances, WIP and COGM and COGS, cost to serve and profitability, scenario simulation, and CAPEX or OPEX budgets with approvals. Built for manufacturers that need traceable calculations, faster close, and analytics ready data integrated with ERP or MRP, MES or WMS, SCM or TMS, and Data Warehouse or BI.
Rayterton Costing and Budget Control connects BOM and routing structures, production actuals, inventory valuation, purchasing commitments, and finance postings in one system. Cost accountants, procurement, planners, and plant leaders use the same numbers instead of reconciling spreadsheets.
Support multi plant operations with alternate materials and routings, scrap and yield behavior, rework flows, and real shop floor feedback. Cost results remain operationally credible without heavy custom coding.
Standardise cost elements, overhead pools, drivers, valuation methods, tolerance rules, and approval workflows. Each plant can adjust details while maintaining group wide governance and control.
Build reliable rollups and reporting on clean structures, realistic rates, and controlled versions so costing outputs are trusted by operations and finance.
Standard, actual, and ABC costing with configurable cost components for materials, labor, machine, and overhead. Maintain rates and cost element structures across plants and product families.
Multi level rollups with yield, scrap, rework, and alternates for materials and routings. Rollup logic stays consistent while allowing plant specific parameters.
Work center rates, burden pools, and driver based allocations using hours, kWh, or m2. Support revaluation cycles and rate versioning for controlled updates.
Versioning, audit logs, segregation of duties, and control evidence for calculations and approvals. Keep changes traceable and reviewable for audit readiness.
Turn operational movements into actionable variance insight and cost bridges so teams can fix leaks quickly and close periods with confidence.
PPV or MPV, usage, mix, yield, labor efficiency, labor rate, and overhead spending and volume variances. Drill into drivers by product, line, plant, or supplier.
WIP valuation and production cost visibility with traceable calculations. Support controlled postings and audit trails aligned to close requirements.
FIFO, LIFO, weighted average, and standard valuation with revaluation support. Optional backflush for suitable environments with strong control rules.
Cost waterfall and margin bridge reporting to explain movements in COGS and overhead. Configure thresholds to flag exceptions before period close.
Move from after the fact reporting to preventive governance. Control CAPEX and OPEX budgets with commitment checks, tolerances, and approvals that match your delegation of authority.
Annual budgets and rolling forecasts across CAPEX, OPEX, plants, departments, and projects. Maintain versions and scenarios for controlled planning cycles.
Track PR and PO commitments against budget with remaining balance visibility. Prevent budget overruns before spend happens and keep accountability clear.
Budget checks with tolerance rules, multi level approvals, and exception handling. Align approvals to policy while keeping evidence for review.
Unified view of actuals, commitments, and remaining budget by owner and period. Standard reporting and alerts to support finance governance and plant leadership reviews.
Give leaders a clear view of where profit is made or lost, and enable fast what if analysis to support pricing, sourcing, and improvement initiatives.
Gross margin by product, customer, channel, and plant with drill down to cost components and variances. Identify margin erosion early and act on cost drivers.
Landed cost and logistics impacts by customer segment and delivery pattern. Understand service cost drivers to improve commercial policy and contract decisions.
What if analysis on price, mix, scrap, yield, rates, and sourcing with sensitivity views and break even checks. Compare scenarios with controlled assumptions and versions.
Role based dashboards for margin, cost drivers, variances, and budget health. Provide a shared view for finance, procurement, and plant leaders.
Practical scenarios where costing and budget control delivers measurable impact across operations, procurement, and finance.
Validate target cost and margin using BOM and routing rollups, overhead assumptions, and sensitivity checks before launching new SKUs or variants.
Quantify scrap and yield losses by line or product, link to variance drivers, and prioritise actions with clear financial impact on margin.
Track purchase price movements and PPV impact by supplier and material group. Support negotiation strategies with data backed variance breakdowns.
Control project budgets with approvals and commitment tracking, ensuring spend stays within policy and reporting stays audit ready.
Costing and budget control is designed to connect with production, inventory, procurement, and finance systems so the platform runs on trusted data and supports enterprise analytics.
Implementation approach follows the same pattern as other Rayterton solutions. The focus is a working environment that reflects your BOMs, routings, cost drivers, and budget policies before you make any commercial commitment.
Share your BOM and routings, cost drivers, overhead structures, and budget approval policies. The Rayterton team will prepare a prototype environment with rollups, variances, cost bridges, and budget controls so your operations and finance teams can validate outcomes together.
