Costing Analysis Alternative Roll Costs to Current

Use this form to roll costs from the costing alternative product codes, departments, work centers, and materials list to the current costs. This updates your live master files.

For updated purchased items, the alternative material cost is copied to the items' purchased current unit cost, which does not change the items' inventory value.

Note:

If your business rolls costs to standard in SyteLine using the Roll Current Unit Cost to Standard Cost utility, you should roll to standard after rolling the costing alternative costs to current. You also should run the Change Cost Rates utility, to apply the master file updates to routings; however, you may want to wait until the end of a fiscal period or year to update all of the labor and overhead rates.
The changes made to your product codes, departments, work centers, and materials will apply to all items using those product codes, departments, work centers, and materials. The list of items in the costing alternative should be a representative sample of all affected items.
This utility does not post any changes to the item current operations or materials, and nothing that happens in the Costing Analysis Workbench posts to the General Ledger. When you roll new cost rates from the Workbench to the master files, you do not revalue inventory or change standards.

You can schedule a background task to run this utility.
