Hi Weston,
Correct, the Standard and Current cost for Item types '3' and '4' are
maintained only through file
maintenance.
Every time that we need to change the cost, I download the information
into Excel (item and cost), the user change the spreadsheet, transfer the
data as a physical file and then with a little RPG program update the
fields in ITEMASA and ITEMASB (in our case also ITMRVA and ITMRVC).

[MAPICS-L] Costing of purchased items.
List
In investigating costing of purchased items I have found the following
from the Infor XA support website:
Here is the solution: Material cost for Raw Material and Purchased
Items
Standard and Current Material Costs for Raw Material (Item Type = 3) and
Purchased Items (Item Type = 4) are maintained only through file
maintenance. These fields are not updated through any receipt
transactions or any MAPICS program.
Here is the problem or goal:
Material cost for Raw Material and Purchased Items
How does the material costs for raw material and purchased items get
updated?
I have three questions then.
1. How does the costs get entered into Current and Standard costs
the first time that item is created?
2. What is the best way to keep these costs accurate, since it
appears you must do file maintenance to update the costs?
i.e. Is there a off-line load option from , say, a excel spreadsheet?
3. Is there a bolt on module that will track the purchasing cost
and update the purchase item costs in IM?
Thanks
