Reference: Par Utilization Reporting

You can use these reports, that use the
Par Count Line
report data source, to track and measure par location performance and item trends.
These reports are already on the
Par Utilization
and
Inventory
dashboards.
Workday recommends that you create a prompt set for the
Par Utilization
dashboard. See Configure Dashboard Content.
Report
Considerations
Fast Moving Par Items
You can use this matrix report to monitor items that have fewer days between orders than days of on-hand par inventory, over a set period of time. The report takes into consideration:
  • The quantity ordered (on a per order basis) in relation to the par level.
  • The days between orders in comparison to the target days on hand for a par line item.
  • The number of orders.
  • The defined period of time.
Workday doesn't include orders in
Cancelled
or
Denied
status in the report.
Example: You set the quantity order as a percentage of par level at 50%, when you have a par level of 100. You set the number of orders to 3 and the period of time of 30 days. As a result, an item is fast moving when:
  • It has a minimum of 3 orders.
  • You order at least 50% of the par level.
  • The days between orders are less than the target days on hand of the item within the last 30 days.
Slow Moving Par Items
You can use this matrix report to monitor cold or slow-moving items based on their infrequency of orders.
Example: You set the report to consider any par line items that have 2 or fewer orders within the last 30 days, as slow moving items.
Kanban Par Bin Rotation
When you set up 2 or more bins for a par line, Workday tracks missed bin rotations, such as when a worker scans the same bin twice. This composite report only captures par counts in
Approved
status.
Example: You have par items with expiration dates where you use the oldest item first. You have a 2-bin setup and your workers only scan 1 of your bins during rotations.
Potential Stockouts in the Last 2 Days
A matrix report that uses the
Par Count Line
report data source. With this matrix report, you can track par stockouts in the last 2 calendar days from the current date, for both single and multibin setups. Only par counts in
Approved
status display on this report. For this report, stockout means that you have zero quantity on hand, or your order quantity is equal to or above the par level. We recommend using this report in combination with the
Fast Moving Par Items
report and your order records, for best practice item tracking.
Example: You have inventory that needs constant monitoring and stocking, such as personal protective equipment. You have a 2 bin setup, and both bins stock out during a rotation and subsequent count. Workday records the par item in the report and the corresponding par counts where the stockout occurred.
