Cost Calculation
Know the true costs of your products
CSB Cost Calculation creates full cost transparency. It consolidates purchasing, recipe, production, and financial data and shows how price fluctuations, process costs, and yield losses impact your product margins. This helps you identify cost drivers early, take targeted action, and calculate product costs efficiently.
Transparent
Complete cost control for products, batches, and processes
Secure
Reliable basis for data-driven decision-making
Efficient
Identify losses and deviations quickly
Cost calculation in the CSB-System
CSB Cost Calculation brings together cost data from purchasing, production, inventory, and sales in a single system. Raw materials, process steps, yields, labor and machine hours, and overhead costs are automatically included in the calculation.
When purchasing or production values change, the system updates the calculation automatically. Using the same data basis, all departments can spot cost developments early, calculate products with confidence, and make informed decisions.
Tailored to your industry
Cost calculation in the meat industry
In the meat industry, cost calculation needs to account for fluctuating raw material prices, varying yields, and value distribution across different cuts and products. CSB Cost Calculation supports slaughter, cutting, and processing in one integrated system.
| Slaughter | Cutting and deboning | Further processing and recipes |
| CSB Cost Calculation brings together purchase prices, weights, grades, and yields. Based on cutting lists, the system automatically distributes the carcass value across resulting cuts. This gives you a realistic cost view for each cut and enables you to assess margin development directly after slaughter. | CSB Cost Calculation compares planned yields from cutting lists with actual production results. Differences in weight, cutting, and quality and their impact on costs and margins can be identified immediately. Different pricing methods help you assess costs and margins reliably, even when market prices are volatile. | CSB Cost Calculation is integrated throughout the processing chain, from primal cuts and raw materials to semi-finished and finished products. Materials, ingredients, packaging, labor and machine hours, and overhead costs are automatically included in the calculation. Production orders and time management provide actual values directly to the system, helping you identify deviations early and reliably recalculate your products based on real costs. |
Cost calculation in the seafood industry
In the seafood industry, cost calculation needs to account for fluctuating raw material prices, varying yields, and value distribution across different cuts and products. CSB Cost Calculation supports goods receiving, filleting, portioning, and further processing in one integrated system.
| Primary processing | Further processing and recipes |
| CSB Cost Calculation distributes the value of a whole fish across the resulting products based on filleting lists and actual yields. The system compares planned quantities with real production results and immediately shows how variations in weight, cutting, and quality affect costs and margins. Day, average, and plan prices help you assess profitability from different perspectives and respond effectively to changing market conditions. | Based on bills of materials, CSB Cost Calculation maps the complete processing chain from cutting and raw materials to semi-finished and finished products. Materials, ingredients, packaging, labor and machine hours, and overhead costs are automatically included in the calculation. Production orders and time management provide actual values directly to the system, This way you keep track of every production stage, identify deviations early, and perform effective post-calculations based on real data. |
Cost calculation for processing companies
CSB Cost Calculation maps your complete production structure, from raw materials and individual components to semi-finished and finished products. Materials, ingredients, packaging, labor and machine hours, and overhead costs are automatically included in the calculation. Production orders and time management provide actual values directly to the system, This way you keep track of every production stage, identify deviations early, and perform effective post-calculations based on real data.
Frequently asked questions about cost calculation in the CSB-System
CSB Cost Calculation directly accesses current data from purchasing, production, and inventory. This gives you a reliable basis for assessing product costs, performing efficient pricing, and staying on top of margin development. Detailed evaluations at product, batch, and process level reveal cost drivers and improvement potential.
Cost type, cost center, and cost unit accounting
CSB Cost Calculation aggregates data from purchasing, production, inventory, and sales on a shared basis. When purchase prices, production orders, goods movements, or recorded times change, the system updates the calculation automatically.
CSB Cost Calculation compares planned costs based on recipes, prices, and yields directly with the actual production results. This allows you to identify deviations early, effectively recalculate your products, and assess their profitability.
With day, average, and plan prices, CSB Cost Calculation lets you assess product costs from different perspectives. This helps you see early how changing raw material prices affect costs and margins and adjust purchasing, production, and sales prices in a targeted way.
CSB Cost Calculation brings your calculation models directly into your ERP system. This reduces manual work, prevents transfer errors, and provides all departments with a shared, up-to-date cost data basis.
