Scheduling Flexibility Vs. Tracking Actual Cost

Folks,

We have a requirement which needs a scheduling flexibility to schedule a job on any of the applicable machines and at the same time would also like to record the actual cost based on the machine used for scheduling.

Let me try to explain with an example:

We have three machines - M1, M2  & M3 and they all belong to different resource groups. 

Note: In our actual scenario there are 60 machines divided among 10 different resource groups.

Per hour Rates:

M1 - $ 10 / Hour

M2 - $ 12 / Hour 

M3 - $ 14/ Hour

Item I1 can be produced either using M1, M2 or M3 and hence we created capability called M1M2M3 and defined all the machines under that capability.

We have linked the cost categories of M1 to the route since M1 is the primary costing resource.

Assuming we have zero material cost and overhead there are three different costs for an Item I1 based on which machine was used to manufactured, and those are:

I1 - M1 - 10

I1 - M2 - 12

I1- M3 - 14 

To simplify we have taken an assumption that all three machines have a same processing speed but actually it varies. 

Question is - with this mapping will D365 record the actual manufacturing cost based on the machine selected?

Note that, maintaining machine specific route can be a solution here but we loses the scheduling flexibility and that is something our users does not want to compromise with.

We would really appreciate any direction/pointers here.

Best Regards
