Costing Rules Tab

Cost Roll-Up

Select the default method to account for project costs when issues are posted to projects with the same top-level project ID. Projects with asset accounts always roll up to all levels. Non-GFM issues between projects that do not share the same top-level project ID always post.

Field Description
No Roll-Up

Select this option to have raw material costs remain within the project level assigned. The transaction does not post.

Roll-Up Buy Parts Cost

Select this option to have only purchased part costs roll up (post) to the issue-to project.

Roll-Up All Parts Costs

Select this option to have costs always roll up (post) to the issue-to project.

Inter-Project Cost Roll-up Within Netting Group

Select this check box to allow cost roll-up between different top-level Projects within the same netting group.

Costing Method

Select the method for calculating the value of inventory for this project and for use in posting transactions to the General Ledger.

The costing method can either be Average Actual or Standard.

Use Standard Costs for Reliefs of Labor, Misc 1 and Misc 2 Elements

Select this check box to use standard costs from the Manage Project Item Costs screen instead of actual costs for MO reliefs when calculating the inventory value of labor, Misc 1 and Misc 2 cost elements. This also applies to partial reliefs, regardless of what costing option is selected. This field defaults from the selection made on the Configure Manufacturing Order Costing Options screen, and can be modified here. This warning displays when you modify this check box:

This modification will only affect future MO Relief costs and could cause cost discrepancies in existing Manufacturing Orders.

Standard Cost Valuation

Select the source of the standard cost for this inventory project. S = Item Std Cost; P = Project Item Std Cost; B = Project Item Std Cost/Item Std Cost; N = N/A (applies when costing method is Average Actual).  Initially, this defaults from Inventory Settings, but user can edit it here if necessary.

Calculate Labor Efficiency Variance

Select this check box to calculate labor costs based on routing standard hours and the labor operation standard rate. Initially, this defaults from Inventory Settings, but user can edit it here if necessary.
