Redwood: Review Standard Costs Import Exceptions Using a New User Experience

If you use the standard cost method to value your enterprise's inventory or you use standard costs to cost provisional completion transactions of your products, you've to first define these standard costs. If your enterprise needs a high volume of buy parts or you update standard costs more frequently, you can use the Import Standard Costs process to create these records in high volume.

You can now update, search, and delete standard cost import exceptions using a Redwood page.

The Standard Cost Import Exceptions page displays all the standard cost records that were attempted to be imported in the last 7 days, by default. You can search for the records and filter the results based on your requirements.

Similarly, you can select multiple records and view them sequentially.

All other actions on standard costs that include create, edit, and delete follow the same business validations as defined in the existing "classic" UI page.

Here are some of the benefits of this feature:

  • Fast track your standard costs management activity by allowing you to edit and view multiple standard cost records sequentially.
  • Increase your efficiency by displaying unpublished standard costs by default, to prioritize your next steps in cost planning activity.
