RE: Ideas: Costing a portion of the material

["David Kemp" <dkemp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The suggestions to use square foot or square inch units of measure are a
reasonable way to handle the issue.  However, you can accomplish the
same result by changing the raw material to a quantity of 0.25 (1.5 *
1/6).  I assume that the left over 30" wide piece is saved and not
scraped.

Subject: Ideas: Costing a portion of the material

I have a child that requires 1.5 feet and is 6" wide.

The material of this child is bought in feet but is 36" wide. Let's say
$2/ft)

If I roll cost I will get 1.5 * $2 = $3, but this is the wrong cost.
The
actual cost is 1/6 of $3.  (.50 cents)

How can MAPICS handle this costing.?

Allocation of material is also a problem.?

Any ideas?
