Setting Up Manufacturing Constants

Access the Manufacturing Constants Revision form.

Select the Costing Options tab.

Cost by Work Center

Select to indicate that the system tracks cost variances for discrete and process items on a summarized level in the Item Cost Component Add-Ons table (F30026) or on a detailed level by cost component and work center in the Item Cost Component Detail table (F300261).

Modify cost by Work Center Efficiency

Select to indicate that the cost rollup creates cost component B4 (for labor efficiency) based on the direct labor value (cost component B1) and the Work Center Efficiency percentage from the Work Center Master table (F30006).

Include Work Center Eff. in Overhead (include work center efficiency in overhead)

Select to indicate that the cost rollup includes work center efficiency when you calculate overhead values if you specified that you want to modify costs by work center efficiency.

Include Var. Labor Overhead in cost (include variable labor overhead in cost)

Select to indicate that the cost rollup creates cost type component C3 (for variable labor overhead) in the Item Cost Component Add-Ons table (F30026).

Calculate Var. on Setup Labor (calculate variable on setup labor)

Select to indicate that the cost rollup includes setup labor expenses (cost component B2) in the total that is used to calculate variable setup overhead (cost component C3).

Calculate Var. on Direct Labor (calculate variable on direct labor)

Select to indicate that the cost rollup includes direct labor expenses (cost component B1) in the total that is used to calculate variable labor overhead (cost component C3).

Include Fixed Labor Overhead in cost

Select to indicate that the cost rollup creates cost component C4 (for fixed labor overhead) in the Item Cost Component Add-Ons table.

Calculate Fixed on Setup Labor

Select to indicate that the cost rollup includes setup labor expenses (cost component B2) in the total that is used to calculate fixed setup overhead (cost component C4).

Calculate Fixed on Direct Labor

Select to indicate that the cost rollup includes direct labor expenses (cost component B1) in the total that is used to calculate fixed labor overhead (cost component C4).

Include Var. Machine Overhead in cost (include variable machine overhead in cost)

Select to indicate that the cost rollup creates cost component C1 (for variable machine overhead) in the Cost Components table (F30026).

Include Fixed Machine Overhead in cost

Select to indicate that the cost rollup creates cost component C2 (for fixed machine overhead) in the Item Cost Component Add-Ons table.

Machine Rate Source

Enter a value that specifies the source for machine rates when the system calculates routing costs in the Production Cost table (F3102). Values are:

1: Work Center Rates table (F30008)

2: Equipment Rates table (F1301)

Labor Rate Source

Enter a value that specifies the source for labor rates when the system calculates the routing costs in the Production Cost table (F3102). Values are:

1: Work Center Rates table (F30008)

2: Employee Labor Rates table (F00191)

Overheads

Specify whether values for overhead fields (cost components C1 through C4) in the Work Center Rates table are expressed as percentages or rates.

To specify whether the system expresses the overhead fields as percentages or rates, click either Percentages or Rates under the Overheads heading.
