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.
