What to prepare before a cost application review

A cost application analytics review moves faster when extracts and owners are ready before the kickoff call. This list reflects what we ask Malaysian plant teams to gather.

Access and people

• Read-only roles for the cost module and related inventory views
• Named owners for BOM masters, routing, and cost-element mapping
• A floor escort contact if a site day is included

Extracts

• One complete cost period close package finance already trusts
• Transaction samples for material issues, backflush, scrap, and WIP moves
• A list of scheduled exports and who consumes them

Decisions to clarify early

Tell us whether the review must support a go-live gate, a statutory timeline, or an internal cleanup. The sampling depth differs. If you are unsure which engagement fits, compare options under Audits or ask via Contact.
