Understanding the Freeze Work Center Rates Program

You can use the Freeze Work Center Rates program (R30860) to update frozen work center rates. You run this program when any of the work center rates have changed. You can perform this task using the Frozen Standard Update program (R30835); however, for actual costing, you do not need to simulate costs and perform a rollup. Running the Freeze Work Center Rates program ensures that work centers are updated with changed costs in an actual costing environment.

In addition, the Freeze Work Center Rates program enables you to update frozen costs for selected work centers, as opposed to updating all work center rates in the system.
