RE: V6002 - MM - Mar Cum - CST600 question

CST-600 will only change records in the cost set that was specified on the
display screen (parms setting).  In our company, several people do single
item cost rolls (people that add the new items/ BOMs).  Occasionally, we
have had them accidentally roll a whole cost set or ever worse multiple cost
sets '___ to 99' on the CST600 Parms screen.  

One problem discovered was Cost Rolls and a multiple threaded job que.  Cost
rolls actually occur in two steps.  The first step zeros the manufactured
item costs and the second step rebuilds the manufactured item costs from
BOMs & Routings.  When two people start a cost roll in a multiple threaded
que, one job may be half way through the rebuild process and the other job
may be deleting the manufactured items costs.  We had some very strange
costs showing up when this was occurring.  The solution was to set everyone
that could do a cost roll to operate out of a single threaded job que.  With
only one job running at a time we do not have to worry about pulling in a
cost that is zeroed into a rebuild calculation. Our costs settled down after
we did this.

What would cause our frozen standard cost records to change?

When new items are rolled in CST600, are other records affected?

Thanks.
