| Assembly Order CostingCosting is a crucial aspect of the Assembly Control module. The manner
in which costing is performed depends partially on how you define your cost
components. Other aspects of costing that are described here are: - Transaction-processing
methods
- WIP transfers
- Calculation of final
results
- Differences between Assembly Control module
costing and Job Shop Control (JSC) module
costing.
- Where to view financial
data in the Assembly Control module.
Note The aspects of
financial costing that are described here have no relation to the theoretical,
mathematical costs associated with line sequencing. Differences between costing in Job Shop Control and Assembly Control - In Assembly Control, the
quantity completed is always one.
- There is no scrap and yield in Assembly Control.
- WIP transfers are only
created between different assembly lines, and not
between line stations (of the same line).
- There is no set-up time
in Assembly Control.
- End item unit costs
(estimated material costs and hours costs for an order) are not calculated for
an assembly order. This is not necessary because each end item uses the same
assembly line, so there is no point in creating separate surcharges for each
item.
- In case of Line Station Based transaction processing, variances are calculated for an assembly
order and not for a generic item.
- Production results are
not split into price variances and efficiency variances in Assembly Control.
- Financial results in Assembly Control are
posted to the cost component of the
assembly line.
