Cost Type

Enter a code that designates each element of cost for an item.

Examples of the cost object types are:

• A1: Purchased raw material.

• B1: Direct labor routing roll-up.

• B2: Setup labor routing roll-up.

• C1: Variable burden routing roll-up.

• C2: Fixed burden routing roll-up.

• Dx: Outside operation routing roll-up.

• Xx: Extra add-ons, such as electricity and water.

The optional add-on computations usually operate with the type Xx extra add-ons. This cost structure enables you to use an unlimited number of cost components to calculate alternative cost rollups. The system then associates these cost components with one of six user-defined summary cost buckets.
