Cost Factor Alternative
In the Cost factor field you select a cost factor alternative (1-7). This factor is then multiplied by the total time for each operation on each part, and then shown as a cost for work in the list.
The default alternative is determined by a setting called Default cost factor alternative (1-7) under the Work Centers heading under the Manufacturing tab in the Settings procedure. There are seven alternatives you can select for calculations.
The available cost factor alternatives in the system.
Each alternative consists of a combination of the three cost factors that can be entered for the work center. If you use cost factor exceptions, which is determined by the setting Use cost factor exceptions? in the same location as the settings above in the Settings procedure, you can enter two cost factor exceptions for the work center. For an operation in the Preparation procedure, you can then select if a cost factor exception applies to a certain operation for a part. This exception will be taken into account here during the calculation of cost for work.
You will find additional information about cost factors in the Update Work Center in the Manufacturing module.
