RE: CST600 cost bucket 7 and make vs buy

["Peggy A. Heritz" <pheritz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For the custom tracking of waste in bucket 7:
I am guessing bucket 7 is set as an overhead or labor type bucket.  If your cost
bucket 7 is a "material" type cost bucket (per CBU), and if your custom program
updates bucket 7 and bucket 0, I would expect CST600 & CST500 to be ok.  Neither
program  will clear a "this level" material cost.  Both will assume that bucket
0 already has this as part of the total.

Been there done that on the problem with changing parts from buy to make & make
to buy.  You have to make sure that your cost db setup matches the status of B/M
and routings.  Similar problems on discontinued parts if you delete routings,
but keep costs broken out by M, L & O.  The bottom line is that no standard BPCS
program completely "re-calculates" the bucket 0 totals.
