Most folks I work with have run into the same situation. Bill's answer seems the easiest. Some clients automate the process, others are good (and VERY careful) with the copy file command. Basically, you need to make a copy of the workcenter file with current rates. Then update the file with your new/proposed rates. When you rollup costs into the pending cost set, make sure the workcenter file with new rates is copied into your database. When you need to rollup a part in the current cost set, copy that file back in. If it is a "blanket" changes (ie: 10%, or one rate in all w/c), SQL might be easier than copyfile.

Our labor and overhead rates are stored in a Department based file. Through multiple members, you could save your current rates, use Sql update to roll through work center master replacing labor and overhead then cost rollup to your new set , and then sql update back to original values. -----Original Message----- From: owner-bpcs-l@midrange.com [mailto:owner-bpcs-l@midrange.com]On Behalf Of Chick Doe Sent: Friday, September 01, 2000 2:52 PM To: BPCS-L@midrange.com Subject: cost generation question it's that time of year where we start worrying about physical inventory and cost standards revisions. we would like to develop new cost standards for next year's costs. the bpcs CST system provides the ability to establish new cost sets, etc. but part of our process is to establish new labor and overhead rates. so we would like to establish a new cost set, copy our current standards into that set, update the material standards in that set, enter new labor and overhead rates, and then do a cost generation to see the resulting rolled-up costs. only problem is that there is no place to put new labor and overhead rates that i know of. the only place that you can put them is in the work center file and we need to keep our current rates there to support SFC, etc. am i missing something? how do other companies develop new rolled-up cost standards? we are version 6.04 chick doe barton instrument systems +--- | This is the BPCS Users Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to BPCS-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to BPCS-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to BPCS-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner: dasmussen@aol.com +--- +--- | This is the BPCS Users Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to BPCS-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to BPCS-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to BPCS-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner: dasmussen@aol.com +--- +--- | This is the BPCS Users Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to BPCS-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to BPCS-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to BPCS-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner: dasmussen@aol.com +---
