Lot Costs

Each lot contains the costs for operations. For example, costs might include dry goods (inventory items), additives, equipment, depreciation on equipment, or staffing costs. Additionally, any gains or losses are included in lot costs.

For operational costing, you can set up three gain and loss methods to determine how the lot costs are adjusted for gains and losses. You set up these gain and loss methods using the Configured Operation program (P31B75P). They include:

• Proportional: Adjust unit cost up or down to reflect gain or loss; the total cost does not change.

• Cost Component: Add a user-defined cost component to lot costs in the amount of the gain or loss.

• Expense: Adjust total amount by the amount of gain or loss; unit cost does not change.
