Creating Simulated Rates for Work Centers

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.

Work Center

Review the number that identifies a branch, plant, work center, or business unit.

Direct Labor

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

Setup Labor

Enter a rate that the system uses together with the setup labor hours of the associated routing to calculate the standard setup labor cost.

Labor Variable O/H (labor variable overhead)

Enter a rate or percentage, as determined in the manufacturing constants, that the system uses to calculate the standard cost for variable labor overhead. If this field contains a rate, it is the cost per hour. If this field contains a percentage, it is the percentage of direct labor.

Enter percentages as whole numbers. For example, enter five percent as 5.00.

Labor Fixed O/H (labor fixed overhead)

Enter a rate or percentage, as determined in the manufacturing constants, that the system uses to calculate the standard cost for fixed labor overhead. If this field contains a rate, it is the cost per hour. If this field contains a percentage, it is the percentage of direct labor.

Enter percentages as whole numbers. For example, enter five percent as 5.00.

Machine Run

Enter a rate that the system uses, together with the run machine hours of the associated routing, to calculate the standard machine labor cost.

Machine Variable O/H (machine variable overhead)

Enter a rate or percentage, as determined in the manufacturing constants, that the system uses to calculate the future standard cost for machine overhead. If this field contains a rate, it is the cost per hour. If this field contains a percentage, it is the percentage of machine run.

Enter percentages as whole numbers. For example, enter five percent as 5.00.

Machine Fixed O/H (machine fixed overhead)

Enter a rate or percentage, as determined in the manufacturing constants, that the system uses to calculate the standard cost for fixed machine overhead. If this field contains a rate, it is the cost per hour. If this field contains a percentage, it is the percentage of machine run.

Enter percentages as whole numbers. For example, enter five percent as 5.00.
