Weekly production summary report

The Weekly production summary report gives you a single view of how production is trending: brewed volume, packaged volume, loss volume and COGS per packaged unit, week by week, with the recent quarter compared against the previous quarter and against the same quarter a year ago.

Find it under Reporting → Pre-built Production & inventory reports → Batches & production.

Running the report

The only required input is an As of date, which defaults to today. From that date Breww builds three 13-week windows:

• Recent 13 weeks - the 13 weeks up to your as-of date.
• Previous 13 weeks - the 13 weeks immediately before that.
• Same 13 weeks last year - the same 13 calendar weeks one year earlier.

Weeks run to a Sunday week-ending date.

You can optionally narrow the report by beer, beer tag, brew type and site.

Reading the results

The report opens on its charts. There is one chart per measure - brewed volume, packaged volume, loss volume and COGS per packaged unit - each showing every week on the same timeline, with the three comparison windows picked out in different colours and a four-week rolling average drawn over the top.

Above each chart, headline tiles show the recent 13-week total, plus the change against the previous 13 weeks and against the same 13 weeks last year.

Switch to View as table for the underlying figures: one row per window and week ending, with brewed volume, packaged volume, loss volume and COGS per packaged unit. Each row has a View loss events action that drills into the beer loss report for that week.

How each measure is worked out

Brewed volume counts new liquid entering production, based on when it happened rather than when the batch started:

• For batches brewed in-house, the successful volume of transfers, merge-starts and stock adjustments taken from the batch's start action.
• For offsite batches, the planned volume, dated from when the batch started.
• Volume additions to in-house batches.

This event-based definition is deliberately different from the batch-level figure on the batch efficiency report, which measures a whole batch against its own brew date.

Packaged volume is the successful volume of packaging actions in the week.

Loss volume uses the same loss events as the beer loss report.

COGS per packaged unit is weighted: total eligible costs divided by total positive packaged volume for the window. It is not an average of the weekly rates, so a week with very little packaging can't distort the headline figure.
