The materials consumption report is a document used in the manufacturing process to summarise the items used over the course of a given accounting period. To put it in more simple words, the materials consumption report keeps track of how much raw materials and commodities in the process are utilised to make products over time, such as a week, month, or quarter.
Companies with a consistent manufacturing line frequently prefer to use this report than using a materials procurement form. However, both approaches accomplish the same goal. They keep track of how much raw inventory was used in the manufacturing process so that the storage manager can acquire more or deliver existing inventory to the production line. The cost of materials consumed in production is also assigned accordingly, using the consumption report. This is accomplished by transferring the cost of the raw materials utilised to the new cost of the goods in the process via a journal entry.
What is Material Consumption Summary
Let us consider a hypothetical example to understand what is material consumption summary. The cost of a steel bar is recorded in a raw materials account when a factory procures it. The steel bar is stored in storage until it is required by the production process. Steel is transported to the assembly line once a materials consumption report or materials demand form is delivered to the storage manager. The whole cost or a fraction of the overall cost is allocated to the newly generated items in the process, depending on how much of the stock is utilised.
After that, a material consumption report is utilised to indicate how much raw material is used to make the finished product. This process repeats itself over and over again. It might happen multiple times each hour, depending on the organisation. Take, for example, the Pepsi Bottle Company. Their bottles are made 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
