Setting Up Work Center Rates

Access the Work Center Rate Revisions form.

(Release 9.2 Update) You can also access the Work Center Rates – Mass Update form to add or update more than one work center's rates at a time. You can manually add or update the records, or you can import the records from a csv file or clipboard to perform a mass update.

Cost Method

Enter a value from UDC 40/CM (Cost Method) that specifies the basis for calculating item costs.

Cost Method 07 - Standard Cost is used to specify the estimated unit cost for the work center resources.

Cost methods 01 through 19 are reserved and are not available for you to use.

Direct Labor

Specify a rate, in cost per person per hour, that the system uses with the Run Labor hours of the associated routing to calculate the standard run labor cost.

The estimated cost is entered in the Direct Labor simulated field, and needs to be updated to the Frozen cost using the Item Cost-Frozen Update batch (R30835) program.
