Re: Actual Cost

Sorry, that's not what happens in OUR 405CD.

We buy for several facilities ... the actual cost changes in the facility where the PO was ... it changes to the latest what we paid for the item in THAT facility.

Right now we are dealing with a question where management thinks the actual cost should be the same irrespective of facility, because same suppliers. However, over time the cost changes ... we might not buy so often for some facilities, so some of them may have an older purchase price.

When tracking PO costs, remember that in addition to the CMF costs, there is also EXPECTED COST in the purchasing module.

Expected cost defaults to standard, then can be changed by the purchasing staff.

Shop Order Purge has what I consider to be a bug ... it should ONLY update actual cost of what got made, which it does correctly. But it also adds to blank facility costs which we do not need.

But remember that the actual cost will reside in cost set of blank and
not a facility based actual cost. Actual costs that are from ACP are
considered "global" actual costs and not tied to a facility.

The cost differences in the IIM and CIC file are expected to happen when
the actual cost changes.

If you have costing module installed:
Actual cost will be updated when you create an invoice (ACP500) for a PO

received in (PUR550).
$ to be paid on invoice / Qty received = Actual cost.

[BPCS-L] Actual Cost






Hi all:

Does anyone have the Calculation of Actual Cost in BPCS. I am on 4.05
CD.
It seems we have lots of parts where the actual cost is different in IIM

and CIC. Can anyone shed some light on this and save me having to go
through the Cost roll pgm step-by-step? Thanks for any help provided.
