Manufacturing Cost Template Import

Import of the manufacturing cost template record is possible only if the Manufacturing Routing and Work Center feature has been enabled at Setup > Company > Enable Features, on the Items & Inventory subtab.

The Manufacturing Routing and Work Center feature lets you create routings that specify a sequence of tasks, or operations, required for the building of assembly items. Creating a cost template is one step in this process. A cost template groups together the various costs associated with a particular activity. For example, a cost template representing the cost of metalworking might include a metalworker's wages, the fuel costs associated with running a forge, and wear and tear on the forge. Later, when you create routing records, you use cost templates to represent the rates associated with each task, or operation, included in your routing.

Before you begin importing cost templates, it might be useful to view the form you would use to manually create these records, at Lists > Supply Chain > Manufacturing Cost Templates > New. For details on the process of manually creating a cost template, see Creating Manufacturing Cost Templates. For general details about the Manufacturing Routing and Work Center feature, see Manufacturing Routing.
