A question I am often asked is ‘What is the expected cost of this product?’ for in progress batches, and I wanted to know if there is any easy way to pull this from breww? I can see the Cost Report on the Recipe, and there is also the Cost Report on the batch, but neither of these are a complete picture, as I need to add additional costs on top of these, e.g. packaging, beer duty.etc to arrive at the figure I am being asked for. Is there an easy way to do this? If not, I plan to propose a feature request in the Cost Report tab of the in progress gyle, to show an Expected Planned Packaging Cost, based on the planned packaging, as this will know packaging components & also duty. This would then be replaced with the actual cost once racked. Does this seem a sensible way to approach this problem, or does anyone have any better ideas? 🍻 ---

Hi Steve, Thanks for your comment! It sounds like the **Product expected cost breakdown** report should be helpful for this; you will be able to find this in **Reporting \> Pre-built production & inventory reports.** This is also discussed further here: [Expected cost reporting](https://docs.breww.com/expected-cost-reporting). The product expected cost breakdown will consider the expected costs of the stock items on the **latest** recipe for the beer, the materials associated with the product’s packaging, as well as duty costs. However, this report doesn’t look at specific batches. I hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions. Cheers! ---

Thanks @ben-collard can’t believe I missed this! It’ll be really helpful. Just for my knowledge - as it isn’t gyle based, am I right in assuming breww is drawing the ingredients cost from ‘Latest Landed Cost’? Or does it depend on whether or not the item is currently in stock (has multiple batches/prices, or is completely out of stock), and uses the Average figure? 🍻 ---

Hi Steve, thanks for your reply! When you run the report, you will be able to choose to use the **Latest landed cost** or the **Expected purchase price** for the stock item costs. Cheers!
