Performing a cost roll

If you’re using Standard Cost as the costing method for any of your Parts, then you need to perform a Cost Roll to establish the initial Standard Cost. You will then periodically update the standard cost to support your company’s accounting policies. To establish or update your Standard Costs you will perform the following series of processes:

  • Enter cost changes that you recognize are needed, through Cost Adjustment

  • Use Resource Group Maintenance to adjust the Labor and Burden Rates for operations performed on the Parts

  • Use the Costing Workbench to:

    • Select the top-level Parts for cost rollup

    • Load the related Cost Details for sub-assemblies, raw materials, burden rates and labor rates

    • Check for unapproved Part Revisions

    • Adjust the cost of Purchased Parts. as needed

    • Perform the Cost Rollup

    • Review the resulting Standard Costs

    • Print and post the cost adjustment resulting for your selected Parts
