Standard cost 1

[ultrav]

I have a problem where a couple of costs are out of whack - they are both almost double what they should be.The current material cost does not match the costed bill. I reran the costing on those two items and it is still off. The purchased and manufactured flags are correct on the bills - I am not sure where else to look. Whenever the costs have been wrong before it has always been a UOM or P/M flag issue. Can someone point me in the right direction? What else affects the material cost?

Thanks

Celeste,

When you say "current matl cost" doesn't match costed BOM, what do you mean? Are you getting this from the Standard Costing module? If so, check the Cost Master for the manufactured item to make sure there is no value in Matl field of the Current V/A column. Any amount in that field will roll up into the cost buildup in addition to the costs of components on the BOM. We've had this problem when we change from a Pur part to Mfg and that value doesn't get deleted.

Hope that helps,

Sue

That is exactly it - I did not realize that I had to delete the amount when we make that correction - THANKS!
