The Actual Cost Rollup in MFG PowerPack does a roll-up using Actual Cost (FIFO/LIFO PERPETUAL) items or Standard Cost (FIFO/LIFO PERIODIC) items. Since its pending cost tables are completely separate from Inventory and Manufacturing you can play with costing changes with no concern for accidentally impacting the live costing of an item.
Actual Cost Rollup integrates into Bill of Materials View window in GP Manufacturing to provide an inquiry that shows the entire costed BOM using the Actual Cost information. A toggle on the Actual Cost window allows for changing the costing view in BOM View to show either material cost only or the total manufacturing cost (which includes the routing).
The Actual Cost Rollup utility provides a place to set a pending cost change and date for actual cost raw materials, perform an Actual Cost Rollup, and view items that have a new cost because of the rollup.
The Actual Cost Rollup follows the same logic as the GP Manufacturing Standard Cost Rollup, so the rollup includes:
- Labor rates and overheads
- Machine rates and overheads
- Routing Times
- Bills of Material Component Quantities and Shrinkage
- Item Engineering Standard Cost Shrinkage
- Item Resource Planning Shrinkage Factor
- In dates/out dates/Effective Dates
Since Actual Cost Rollup does not have the ability to CHANGE the cost of standard cost items it can be used to perform planning activities without the chance of accidentally revaluing inventory.
