Cost breakdown allows you to drill into specific cost, account, or week, to help determine the root cause of any anomalies. Cost type breakdown displays the different cost types that make up the bar or line item selected in Cost by week or Cost breakdown.
Shipment cost details
The Shipment cost details tab shows additional information on shipment costs such as Shipment number, Shipment origin and destination city/state, Equipment used, Account name, Cost time item name, Cost line item quantity, Cost line item price, and Cost line total amount.
Inventory 360
The reports featured in Inventory 360 allow you to view inventory across locations, as well as which customers the inventory at each location supports. Navigate to Explore > Analytics > Inventory 360 to access these reports.
Warehouse inventory summary tab
The Warehouse inventory summary tab provides you with two data sets that allow you to explore inventory at your warehouse locations and which customers that inventory corresponds to, as well as a filter for the results shown.
The Customer inventory summary and graph displays the customers your warehouses serve and the total amount of inventory for each customer at each warehouse location.
The Warehouse inventory table and graph displays the different items in your inventory, and the number of units of the item that is present at each location.
Clicking items in each table will apply filters to both data sets. The data you see will depend on what is selected.
- Clicking a Customer name will show the total inventory assigned to that customer across all locations, as well as a breakdown of the type and quantity of inventory items that customer has at each warehouse.
- Clicking a Location will show how much inventory you have for each customer at that location, as well as a breakdown of the type and quantity of inventory items at that location.
- Clicking an Item name will display which customers have that inventory, how much, and at which warehouses.
Hovering over the selection will display a pop-up. Click the See inventory details to generate a filter for the Inventory details tab based on that item.
Inventory Details tab
The Inventory Details tab allows you to view details on your entire inventory, with information on locations, total item quantities and names, customers, quantities, expiration dates, and availability.
How inventory is calculated
The total units of inventory are determined by either the number of base units or the number of pallets. The filter on the right will default to Pallets. Use the Quantity Type in the filter to the right to change from the default Pallets filter to the Base Units filter.
Turvo Analytics can use the Item master to calculate the total number of base units that are contained on a pallet, based on the Ti (number of units that can fit in a single layer on the pallet) and Hi (number of layers of units that can be stacked vertically on a pallet) values.
For example, if a pallet can hold nine base units in one layer (Ti=9), and up to four layers (Hi = 4), then the total number of units on the pallet is calculated as 9 ✕ 4 = 36 base units per pallet.
The number of pallets in inventory will then be multiplied by the number of base units a pallet can hold to determine the total number of base units in your inventory. To ensure this feature functions properly, use the Item master entry function in Turvo to add items.
Adding filters and saving views
Each report in Turvo Analytics can be filtered using the drop-downs that appear above the data. Occasionally, these drop-downs appear on the left or right side depending on the format of the report. Once you make a selection from the dropdown, click Apply to apply the filter to the data.
Once you apply the desired filters to a report, you can save the filters to be automatically applied in the future by clicking the View icon on the top toolbar.
This will open the Custom views modal. Enter a name for your view and select whether you would like this to be your default view and if it should be visible to other Turvo Analytics users in your organization. When you are finished, click Save.
Note: You can always revert to the original view of the data by clicking the View icon again and selecting the Original (default) view.
Exporting and downloading data
Reports in Turvo Analytics can be downloaded in a variety of file types, including images, PDFs, CSVs, PowerPoint presentations, and Tableau workbooks. To download your report, click the Download icon on the top toolbar to open the modal, then select the file format.
