RE: Fixed operation cost for each unit

Hi Team,

I am looking to configure a Manufacturing Routing where the labor/operation costs are fixed per unit, rather than calculated based on labor hours or run time.

Requirement: I have a routing with 6 operations. Regardless of how long the operation takes, I need the cost to be a fixed dollar amount per unit produced.

Example Scenario (Per 1 Unit):

  • Operation A: $10.00

  • Operation B: $15.00

  • Operation C: $20.00

  • Operation D: $25.00

  • Operation E: $30.00

  • Operation F: $35.00

  • Total Fixed Routing Cost: $135.00 per unit.

If I create a Work Order for 5 units, the expected total routing cost should be $675.00 ($135 x 5)+ Component Cost.

Questions:

  1. How should the Cost Category be configured (e.g., Cost Basis: “Per Unit”) to achieve this?

  2. What is the correct setup for the Manufacturing Cost Template to ensure it pulls a fixed dollar amount instead of an hourly rate?

Thank you!
