If you share costs, you can only define costs in the cost master organization. When you define an item, the system creates a cost record according to the costing method, the Frozen or Average cost type. You can modify the Frozen cost type if no inventory transactions have occurred, allowing you to directly set the frozen standard cost for the item. If inventory transactions have occurred, you must define a cost in a cost type other than Frozen and perform a cost update to load a frozen cost for the item.
You cannot use the Item Costs window to edit average costs. See: Updating Average Costs.
For Bills of Material users, you can use the costs in any cost type for the costed bill of material explosion reports to examine other cost scenarios.
Suggestion: If you use Bills of Materials, and intend to use the resource, outside processing, and overhead cost elements when you define item costs, you must first define bill parameters to have access to material and material overhead cost elements. See: Defining Bills of Material Parameters.
