RE: Costing By Facility

From what I understand, BPCS always keeps track of the global costs even if
the system parameters are set up for facility specific costing. Global costs
are the ones that have a blank ' ' in the facility field.
On the other hand if the system parameters are set for Global cost, then
BPCS does not track the facility specific costs.

Subject: Re: Costing By Facility


i'm not an expert in this but i would be concerned about the following:
1. are your bills and routings at the global level or the facility level? i
believe that if you specify costing by facility the costing programs will
try to use facility specific bills and routings, if you change to global,
the costing programs will want to use global bills and routings.
2. do you have programs that access the cost records? if so, are they
accessing the facility specific costs? once you build global costs these
programs will have to access the global costs?
3. do you use frozen standard costs? if so, are they at the facility level?
if you are going to generate global frozen standard costs, will these be the
same as the current facility level frozen standard costs? if they are not,
will this cause an inventory valuation variance and force a standards
revision entry into the general ledger?

We are on BPCS V6.0.02 (Mixed Mode).

We have 6 Facilities in the system and when we did the System Parameters
Setup,
we chose Costing to be
facilitywise.

Do You Wish to Run Costing by Facility?                  1  (1=Yes  0=No)


Now we want to change it to '0' Global Costing as our costs for the item are
the
same across all these facilities.
This would save lot of our time


Pl share your experiences.
