Use this window to analyze shop order costs to ensure that the costs generated from the manufacturing process can be followed up and compared against the planned cost. When a shop order is created, the system automatically calculates the costs based on the order specific data, which is then displayed in the Shop Order Costs window.
Note:
When a shop order is in the Planned status or Released status,
the part cost buckets added on the
Cost Template in Cost Set One window can be updated via the right
click option Calculate Order Cost
on the Shop Order Costs window. The order cost estimates will not be automatically calculated after an order has reached the
Started status, but it is possible to calculate the order cost estimates for an order in the
Started status via the Shop Order window, by right clicking and pointing
to Costing and then clicking Calculate Order Estimated Cost.
