Change Cost Rates

Use this utility to apply new cost rates to a range of job, item current, estimate, and production schedule routings/BOMs. It applies the rates from the Product Codes, Work Centers, or Departments forms to the selected routings/BOMs.

On the routings/BOMs for the selected Mfg Types, these fields are updated:

  • Fixed Material and Variable Material Overhead: These rates default from the General tab of the product code of each material. These rates are stored as a percentage.
  • Fixed and Variable Overhead: These rates default from the department associated with the work center used in the operations. These rates are stored as (local currency) per labor hour.
  • Setup Rate, Efficiency, Run Rate, Fixed Machine and Variable Machine Overhead: These rates default from the Work Center form, Costing tab. Efficiency is stored as a percentage. The other rates are stored as (local currency) per hour.
