Module Objective
The Project Realization Report module is a crucial cost control tool. Its purpose is to generate a Budget vs. Actuals comparison report for a project. This report compares three key stages:
-
RAB: The budgeted cost.
-
SPP (
Surat Permintaan Pembelian): The cost that has been requested for purchase. -
IRM (
Item Receipt Material): The actual cost of goods/services that have been received.
1. Report Parameters (Filter)
The main page of this module is a form containing various parameters to customize the report that will be generated.
Here is an explanation for each parameter:
-
Project Code: The primary filter to select the specific project whose realization you want to analyze.
-
Period: Specify the date range for the cost realization to be displayed.
-
Project Status: Filter by the current status of the project.
2. Steps to Generate the Report
Step 1: Set Report Parameters
Select the relevant Project Code and define the Period you wish to review.
Step 2: Generate the Report
After all parameters are set, click one of the two buttons at the bottom:
-
[Display]: To preview the comparison report directly on your screen.
-
[Export to MS Excel]: To download the report data in an Excel file format.
3. Reading the Report (Report Content)
The generated report is a three-column comparison table that allows you to track the project's cost flow in detail.
Main Column Explanation
-
RAB: Displays the initial budget for each cost item as planned in the Project Budget (RAB) module.
-
SPP: Displays the cost that has been requested for purchase via a Purchase Requisition (
Surat Permintaan Pembelian). -
IRM: Displays the actual cost of the goods or services that have been received (Goods Receipt).
How to Analyze: By comparing the figures in these three columns, you can quickly answer questions like: "Are our purchase requests in line with the budget?" and "Is the actual cost in line with what we requested?"
Tips & Important Notes
-
This is the most important monitoring tool for a Project Manager to control costs.
-
Use this report routinely (e.g., weekly or monthly) to detect potential cost overruns early.
-
The accuracy of this report is highly dependent on disciplined data entry in the Project Budget (RAB), Purchase Requisition, and Goods Receipt modules.
