A common mistake is deep-diving into variance reports before validating basic setup elements such as items, packaging, recipes, and stock counts.
When setup checks are skipped:
Time is wasted investigating incorrect assumptions
Root causes are overlooked
Confidence in reports and system accuracy declines
You may notice:
Long or repeated investigation cycles
Frequent questions about “system accuracy”
No clear resolution after detailed analysis
In SUPY:
Reports reflect both setup and operational inputs
Issues in setup commonly surface as unexplained variance
Always review variance in the following order:
Stock counts
Item setup
Packaging configuration
Recipe configuration
POS mapping
Wastage and transfer events
If variance analysis is already underway:
Pause report deep-dives
Validate setup step by step in the order above
Correct identified setup issues
Re-run reports after corrections
Most variance issues are setup-related before they are operational.
A structured investigation approach reduces resolution time and builds confidence in SUPY data and reports.
