Reports for Printing Press Owners and Managers

The estimates, job cards, stock entries and invoices that the press already records feed these reports. Owners and managers read them to see where work is held up and where money is waiting.

Work in progress and sales

Jobs in hand by stage and due date

Every open job card grouped by where it is: artwork, plates, press, finishing, outside unit or packing. Jobs due today and late jobs are listed first, so the manager sees the day’s pressure before the first machine starts.

Estimates sent against estimates accepted

Quotes issued, won, lapsed and rejected, by customer and by job type. The counter sees which kinds of work the press wins and which it loses.

Machine booking and idle time

Hours booked on each offset and digital machine, and the gaps between jobs, so that a machine standing empty on Thursday is visible on Tuesday.

Stock, vendors and money

Paper stock by size and GSM

Opening, issued, received and closing quantities for each paper, with the items below their reorder level marked for the person who buys.

Outside work pending return

Jobs sent to lamination, die-cutting or binding units and not yet back, listed by vendor and by days outstanding.

Outstanding dues by customer

Unpaid invoices grouped by customer and by age, with advances received and not yet adjusted shown beside them.

Estimate against actual cost

For each closed job, what was estimated and what the job used in paper, plates, machine time and outside work. Costing depends on stock issues and stage entries being kept up.

Who reads which report

The press manager works from jobs in hand and machine booking. Stores reads the paper stock report. The accounts clerk works from dues and from outside work charges. The owner reads all of them, and the estimate against actual report most closely. Access follows the role the owner gives each person.

What the figures reflect

A report shows what has been entered. A job whose stages were not marked will look stuck at the press when it has in fact gone to packing. Further reports are possible wherever the press records the figures needed. They are scoped with the press before they are built.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Are the figures current as the day goes on?

Yes. Reports read from the same records that the counter, stores and operators update, so they change as entries are made on the floor and at the desk.

Can a report be limited to one machine or one customer?

Yes. They can be filtered by machine, customer, job type and date range. A saved view is available for the filters the manager uses most.

Can reports be exported for the accountant?

Yes. Reports can be downloaded as spreadsheets or PDFs. What the accountant wants in each is settled during implementation.

Does the system produce a profit and loss account?

No. It shows job costing and dues. The press’s books and statutory accounts stay with the accountant.
