12.1 Who Sees Reports

The batch reports need View production costs and margins. Without it, Reports opens Excise and tax stamps if you manage excise, or Piece rates if you approve piece counts.

12.2 Finished Batches

Filter by Product, Made from and Made to, then click Filter. Columns are Batch, Product, Made on, Good units, Unit cost and Against recipe. A negative difference, such as −GH₵0.12, means the batch cost less than the recipe estimate. Open a batch for its batch cost page (see 6.7).

The header links to Excise and tax stamps, Piece counts for Payroll and Month end, as your role allows.
