Formula cost allocation

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 6
Hi guy,
I have an issue related to cost allocation in formula. 

In a formula setup, I have materials A, B, and C, and co-products D and E. When calculating costs:

  • Materials A and B should allocate costs to D.
  • Material BC should allocate costs to E.

This situation involves plastic molding, where the input includes plastic and two different circuits (Circuit 1 and Circuit 2). The outputs are two types of wheel rims, each containing one circuit, while plastic is shared between both rims.

The challenge: The cost of circuits fluctuates heavily (30–40%), making percentage-based allocation inaccurate. Any suggestions for a better approach?

Thank you in advance!

    I don't believe Co-product functionality in F&O supports the type of automatic cost calculation that you describe.
