Hybrid Costing Setup - Avg Costing for Purchase Invoice + Standard Costing for Production

(4) ShareShare

Posted on by 33
The Average Costing is set up inside the Item Card. I am having questions regarding the production side.
 
To setup Standard Costing for production, here is an example of what I did.

If I am producing item A, I will set up:
 
  1. A work center “Costing Work Center”, with a Unit Cost of $1. The UOM is set to “HOURS”. Flushing Method "Backwards".
  2. Routing for the finished goods item A, with work center “Costing Work Center”, and assign the time to “123” hours.

Ideally, after finishing the production order for 1 item A, the unit cost will increase $123. ($1 * 123)
 
I did the following and it is not reflecting on item A's unit cost.
 
1. Create a Firmed Planned Production Order with 5 item As
2. Refresh Production Order with Lines, Routing, Component Need checked.
3. The item A appears in the Lines. I select it, and click on "Routing"  under Line menu, it is showing 0 work centers. (<- I think here is what goes wrong.)
 
4. Clicked "Change Status" to "Released". (Update Unit Cost off)
5. Inside "Released Production Order", select the line, click "Production Journal". I tried to change the setup time, but I can't. 
6. Post the Journal Line.
7. Change Released Production Order status to Finished.
 
=> The standard cost $123 is not added to Unit Cost.

    As far as I know, there's no way to mix them.
    The cost will change as soon as you execute Adjust Cost - Item Entries.

    Hello,
     
    This is expected behavior: you’re trying to validate standard-cost production logic while the item is set to Average Cost. With Average Cost, routing/work center costs do not update the item’s unit cost at posting; they are posted as value entries and only reflected later after Adjust Cost – Item Entries runs. Also, it’s normal that you see 0 work centers on the production order line—routings live on the production order operations, not the line. Because the item is Average Cost and Update Unit Cost = No, the $123 routing cost will not roll into the item’s unit cost immediately. If you want the finished item to pick up a fixed $123 cost at production, the item must be Standard Cost, you must Calculate Standard Cost, then post the production order; that’s when routing costs become part of the item cost.
