Hello
I am slightly new to standard costing on manufacturing on business central so please bear with me as I have the following questions.
1. If a Released Production Order has been modified to use a different routing or say add an additional item or say decide to use a contractor on a routing step, how does the standard cost adjust to take that into account or does it adjust at all? For example, if a different routing is used, how can the standard cost be modified to take that into account?
2. The Cost Share on an Item does not match the Standard cost amount on the item card. Is the Standard cost on the item Card based on an average and does it include revaluations? Where can I actually view the real/latest standard cost that has been loaded against the item card? I am looking at this from a finished good perspective.
3. We often have a situation whereby we use a subcontractor during busy periods for some of our manufacturing operations. I was wondering whether it is optimal to create separate routings for where the subcontractor might be used and or should we just change the production order as and when we require the subcontractor (which would be a lot during a busy period but not always). Having a routing created means it's less work to configure on the system and it's more automated but the answer depends on whether standard costing is affected (for calculating variances) and also what is the optimal solution.
