Why use the Production Report?
With the help of the Production Report, you can:
- Take a closer look at the past production and how production has changed over time.
- Obtain a clear overview of your past production to assist in strategizing for upcoming production cycles.
Before you begin using the Production Report, click on the Start Tour button to familiarize yourself with its various sections.
The Production Report can only generate data for a single one-year period at a time.
The Production Report overview page
By following the steps below, you can open the Production Report:
- Log in to the online platform C-sar.
- Navigate to the Reports on the main menu bar. Select Production Report.
- Select the date range you wish to examine by clicking the calendar icon adjacent to the date fields.
All roasts between 00:00 a.m. (start date) and 11:59 p.m. (end date) are taken into account. - Select the Location by clicking on the dropdown.
- Add the Average (e.g., per week, per day, per month).
- Click on Apply filters.
After selecting a Date range, you will find the following summary at the top of the Production Report overview page:
Production summary (1)
The Production summary shows you the key figures for the selected date range.
- The total weight of your roasted coffee
- The total number of batches that have been roasted
- The average weight of your roasted coffee per month/week/day (depending on the average selected)
- A comparison of the output to the previous period
- The green inventory used
Summary machines (2)
The machine summary shows you the output per roast machine in percent, kg, or lbs, and number of batches.
Summary of roast technicians (3)
Here you find information on the output per roast technician in percent, kg, or lbs, and the number of batches.
Output filters
You can filter the output by the following factors:
Marking a roast consumed doesn't impact the Production Report. The roast was still done, so the Production Report still reflects it as a roasted batch.
Output by Profile
The Output by Profile tab displays your production by profile from high to low output volume.
Use the Customize button to optimize the columns and to only display information that is of great value to you. The customized view will be saved for your user.
Scroll down to the overview of your production over time for the selected period.
Output by Green Inventory
The Output by Green Inventory tab displays your production by green inventory used, backward-sorted by lot weight.
Use the Customize button to optimize the columns and to only display information that is of great value to you. The customized view will be saved for your user.
Scroll down to the overview of your production over time for the selected period.
Price per unit numbers will show up in the report as the price the batch was at the time it was roasted. Updating the price per unit will not override the previous price of any roasted batch on the report.
Deleting a roast can cause discrepancies between the Output by profile and the Output by green inventory view.
If you intend to undo a roast and roll back the green inventory accordingly, you need to set the start and end weights of a roast to 0.

Output by Roast machines/Roast technicians
The Output by roast machines/roast technicians will pull up a more detailed production summary per machine and roast technician.
These are accumulated values for the selected period. No production over time overview is available in this view.
Output by Profile group
The Output by profile group tab displays your production per profile group, backward-sorted by output volume.
Use the Customize button to optimize the columns and to only display information that is of great value to you. The customized view will be saved for your user.
Production over time
From the following tabs, you can scroll down to the bottom of the page to get an overview of your Production over time:
When clicking on Generate graph, a graph will appear where the x-axis shows the period and the y-axis shows the output volume.
Graphs can only be displayed with daily groupings when the selected date range is one month or shorter.
To check how your production has developed over time, check the box next to Compare to previous period/year. A faded-out graph appears next to the current one, showing you how the output has changed over time.
