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