Actual Accounting

For actual accounting, the program calculates costs. This table describes the cost types:

Cost Type	Description
Material Costs (Ax)	The program retrieves the unaccounted units and amounts from the Work Order Parts List table.
Routing Labor Costs (Bx)	The program retrieves the unaccounted units and amounts from the Work Order Routing table.
Routing Overhead Costs (Cx)	Depending on the Overhead option that you selected in the Manufacturing Constants program (P3009), the program calculates overhead costs based on labor and machine costs. To retrieve work center rates, the program uses the item's inventory cost method.
Outside Operations (usually Dx)	The program retrieves outside operations costs from the unaccounted amount in the Work Order Routing table. When you receive the purchase order for the outside operation, the system updates the Work Order Routing table with the actual purchase order cost.
Extras (usually Xx)	The program calculates extra costs based on the item cost component record for the parent item in the Item Cost Component Add-Ons table.

The program updates the Production Cost table with the new actual, planned, completed, and scrapped costs.
