Input Usage Analyzer allows you to report on your planned and actual input usage and costs in flexible and dynamic ways. You are able to:

- Drill down from a summarized quantity or cost to investigate the source
You can also generate useful reports that include:
- Input Costs by Landowner (for those with financial permissions): providing details on where your costs are coming from; useful when billing landlords.
- Planned, Actual, Remaining, and Forecasted Quantities and Costs: allowing you to dig into the source of any unexpected variance.
You may also hear our Input Usage Analyzer report referred to as IUA.
