Costing a works order

(Batch Works Orders Only)

When you cost a works order, planned costs are refreshed based on the most recent component costs.

Note: When costing older works orders, subsequent component price changes may distort the comparison between planned and actual costs.

Because you can issue components to a works order when the cost of the component is not yet known, the components are represented on the works order costing, using the historical cost of the item (or the standard cost, if appropriate). If components use FIFO or Actual costing, the historical cost is overridden with the actual value during the process to close the works order. This ensures that the final costing is based on current, not historical values for such components.
