Frequently Asked Questions

Researching Variance Issues

When reviewing variance reporting it is best to research as soon as possible after an inventory is recorded and entered into Decision Logic. 

When users find items with a large variance take the following steps to help find a solution:

• Find high variance items in Decision Logic 

• Confirm both beginning inventory and ending inventory values are correct 

• Review purchases to be sure all product was received at the correct quantities and price

• Review ideal usage to be sure all product is depleting at the correct quantities (reminder: ideal usage is calculated directly from product mix reporting that is pulled from the POS System, depletion quantities are entered into menu maintenance in DL)

• If all data entered into Decision Logic is correct and all values are depleting properly take into consideration the following:

  • over portioning

  • under portioning

  • theft

  • waste issues

COGS has missing sales data

If your sales data is not reporting on the COGS report, please note the following:

• Decision Logic may not have received the sales data last day of the week at the time that inventory was posted.

  • Check the DSR or Missing Files page to see if all data is in Decision Logic. If there is missing data, run the UDT Client for the missing dates. If the data is on the DSR, run DL Updates COGS update for the current week.

• Inventory may not be posted.

  • Ensure that all inventories are posted for the date range you selected.

💛 Note, posting inventory runs a COGS update to run for that current week, therefore you will not need to run a DL Update.
