Hello Basha Jamel,

I think the best option for you to get an overview of those features/functionalities is by having a look at the AX training videos available at the Dynamics Learning Portal.

All the best,

Ludwig

Cost groups are added to the BOM lines consumed in the production for grouping purposes.

The cost categories are added to the resources and carry the cost for the different route operations/jobs. The cost categories are also grouped by cost group.

The costing sheet organize the cost groups in a tree structure and you can also add indirect costs to your variable or direct manufacturing costs based on the cost groups.

The costing sheet is visually easier to read then the entire breakdown of the BOM, but it does only work for the first level in the consumed BOM at production cost calculation which is done when estimating a production order. At this stage also any phantom items in your prodBOM are exploded.

Please refer to Murray Fifes book on this topic or see the msdn/technet for more info.
