Basic Instructions for rolling all Standard Costs

Summary:  This document explains the basic steps to roll standard costs on all MFG. items in the system.  A methodical approach is key to making sure that all costs are correctly rolled throughout all items in the system. 

Considerations:

If you are attempting to update all costs including the following please do so in the order as described.

1. Update Labor Rates – located in the System Setup Tab, Lists, Employee Level.
   
2. Update Overhead Rates – there are two methods for doing this.
   
   1. If you are using work center level rates update each work center for the correct rate
      
   2. If you are using Master Center Type Rates update the Center Type Rates and make sure to apply the change across all of the related machines
      
      
      
3. Update if required the Standard Calc. Quantity remember this is used to spread the costs of a setup across X quantity of produced parts.  The default in the system is 1000 pieces however this can be overridden at the item level on the Standard Costing Tab
   
4. Update Raw Materials Cost – various methods can be used (please see Raw Material Cost update for more information)
   
   1. Update Future Costs with average costs (uses the current average cost calculated by the system)
      
   2. Update Future Costs with Last Purchase Order Price
      
   3. Before proceeding the user can run reports to find any major variance in the cost updates on the purchased items.
      
      
      
5. Update any Outsource Costs – this is required due to the nature of how outsource works, the user will have to update each item with an outsource cost.
