Standard Cost Reflecting on Finished Good After Completing Production Order

(5) ShareShare

Posted on by peter fun 617
I was creating a production order and trying to calculate COST Amount but unable to calculate that but than i got this suggestion:
Checklist for Standard Costing in Production Orders
Here are the key areas to verify:
1. Component Consumption Not Posted
Even though you posted the Warehouse Pick, manual flushing requires you to post consumption via the Consumption Journal or Production Journal. If this step was skipped or incomplete, the system won’t calculate the cost.
Solution: Go to the Production Journal or Consumption Journal and ensure that the component lines are posted with correct quantities and locations.
2. Output Posting Without Cost
If you posted the output without posting component consumption, the system will not assign the standard cost to the finished good.
🔧 Solution: After posting consumption, reopen the production order, repost the output, or use the Revaluation Journal to correct the cost.
3. Standard Cost Not Applied
Even though the item has a standard cost defined, it might not have been applied properly.
🔧 Solution: Go to the Item Card → Recalculate Standard Cost and ensure the cost is applied. Then, run the Adjust Cost - Item Entries batch job.
4. Adjust Cost - Item Entries Not Run
This batch job is essential to update the cost entries, especially when using Standard Costing.
 Solution: Run "Adjust Cost - Item Entries" and then "Post Inventory Cost to G/L" to reflect the correct cost in both inventory and financials.
 Recommended Steps to Fix
  1. Verify and post component consumption manually.
  2. Ensure standard cost is applied to the finished good.
  3. Run "Adjust Cost - Item Entries".
  4. Check the Item Ledger Entries again for updated cost.
 
It worked and i calculated COST AMOUNT for one item finished item. But what if i am making 10 production orders do i need to do this for all production items manually? or there is any way to do this cost calculation together??

Thanks

    Option 1 – Manual Posting + Batch Cost Calculation

    Post component consumption and output for all production orders (use Consumption/Output Journals to post multiple at once).

    Run Adjust Cost - Item Entries once – it updates cost for all finished items together.

    This way, you don’t have to calculate cost for each production order manually.

    Option 2 – Auto Consumption via Flushing Method

    Change component items or BOM lines to Flushing Method = Backward.

    When you post the output for a finished good, BC will automatically post component consumption and calculate cost.

    Then just run Adjust Cost - Item Entries once for all items.

    Hey there
    Let’s say you’ve got 10 production orders for different finished goods. You’ve already posted the warehouse picks, but you haven’t posted the component consumption yet. Here’s how you could handle it:

    1. Post Component Consumption in Bulk
      Open the Consumption Journal or Production Journal, filter by your production orders, and post all the component lines together. This step is key — without it, BC won’t calculate the cost.

    2. Run “Adjust Cost - Item Entries” Once
      This batch job updates the cost entries for all items, not just one. So instead of doing it 10 times, you run it once and it processes everything behind the scenes.

    3. Post Inventory Cost to G/L
      This pushes the updated costs into your financials. Again, one run covers all items.


      4.  
     

     What You Don’t Need to Do

    • You don’t need to reopen and repost output for each production order unless something went wrong during posting.
    • You don’t need to manually recalculate standard cost for each item unless you suspect the cost wasn’t applied properly.
