Budget Planning
Cost per product down to the input that drives it.
Bill of materials, ABC curve of inputs and pricing — so margin per product stops being an allocation and becomes a calculation with a source.

WHAT HOLDS IT UP TODAY
Product cost arrives after the pricing decision
It is not a lack of effort: it is the format. A spreadsheet has nowhere to hold the rule, the trail and the permission at once.
Margin per product is an allocation
Indirect cost is allocated by an old criterion nobody reviews. The mix decision is made on an approximate figure.
The bill of materials is out of date
It was built once and the input's price has changed six times since.
Pricing happens off to the side
The price is set in a spreadsheet that does not know today's real cost.

Bills of materials and cost per product in LeverPro, with ABC curve of inputs and price build-up.
WHAT YOU SEE ON SCREEN
The input building the cost, and the cost building the price
Four things happen on this screen, and each one settles a piece of the month.
- 0:08
The product's bill of materials
Input, quantity and unit cost — the structure that makes up the cost, not a closed figure.
- 0:28
The ABC curve of inputs
Which inputs move the cost. That is where supplier negotiation pays off.
- 0:50
Cost reaches the product
Direct and indirect making up unit cost, with the criteria explicit.
- 1:10
How the price is built
Target margin on today's cost, and the effect on the P&L by product line.
BEFORE AND AFTER
The same operation, in both formats
How it runs today
- Margin per product calculated on an old allocation
- A bill of materials frozen on the day it was built
- Price set in a spreadsheet that cannot see today's cost
- The mix decision is made in the dark
With LeverPro
- Cost built from the bill of materials, with explicit criteria
- Input priced from the base, not from memory
- Price built on today's cost
- Mix decided with margin per product in plain sight

Book a diagnosticHOW IT WORKS
From the ERP entry to the interface
Three steps, and the second is the one most tools skip.
-
The input comes from the ERP
Purchasing and inventory feed unit cost; the bill of materials stops depending on typing.
-
The bill of materials is structure
A product made of inputs, with quantities. Change the input's price and the product's cost changes.
-
Margin is a consequence
Cost and price on the same base make margin per product a reading, not a separate calculation.
WHO USES IT
What each role takes from this
Cost controllership
Keeps the bill of materials alive instead of redoing it by sampling.
Sales
Sets the price knowing the product's real margin.
CFO
Discusses mix with margin by line, not the company average.
“LeverPro brought simplicity and speed to our day-to-day: faster budgets, automatic analysis and detail down to the journal entry, with no rework in Excel.”
