RE: (no subject)

Deb,

I worked with a client that had the same problem. They produced the same 
item number at two different locations, and each had unique costs (one 
location used an aluminum can, the other a steel can). Where it really 
gets "fuzzy" is when you ship product from both locations to a 
distribution warehouse. Now how do you separate the costs? What they did 
was to use a unique lot number designation (the first digit represented 
the manufacturing location) to identify the originating manufacturing 
location/cost. This could have a subtle effect on fifo, but other than 
using a suffix number at the end of the item number to create unique 
items/costs, this was the only workable solution for them.

Ron,

The mfg costs are captured properly.  Our problem is that regardless of
the components or mfg location, all are using the same F/G item number.
So, we have xxx product in our finished goods warehouse with multiple
costs.  Once we generate a customer order, we allocate by lot for FIFO.
At this point we really don't know how much that particular item costs
for a true margin picture

The only way to capture actual costs is from the closed shop orders.
+With their being at different locations, then the actual costs will
change with each shop order closed.

To All,

 

We have a situation where a single product can be made at several
locations around the world.  The manufacturing location has a direct
bearing on the mfg cost.  Within these locations the product can be made
of cotton or polyester which also is reflected on the cost.  We are
manufacturing all of the different scenarios with alternate BOM methods
and corresponding alternate routing method.  My question is how can we
capture the actual cost so a true margin can be calculated for customer
orders?
