6.5.2. Item Costs

6.5.2.1.  Item Costs by Class Code

To view item costs by class code, go to Products > Costing > Report > Item Costs > by Class Code. The following screen will appear:

Item Costs by Class Code

When displaying item costs by class code, you are presented with the following options:

All Class Codes

Select to display item costs for all class codes.

Selected

Specify class code whose item costs you want to display.

Pattern

Enter a class code pattern to select a range of class codes. Refine your search using regular expressions.

Only Show Zero Standard Cost Items

Select to include only items with zero standard cost in the display. The zero standard costs view can be helpful when trying to determine why no general ledger (G/L) transactions are being generated when certain items are involved. Items must have standard costs associated with them if transactions involving them are to be recorded in the G/L. If an item has no standard cost, no G/L records for that item will be created.

Only Show Zero Last Actual Items

Select to include only items whose last actual cost equals zero. This option can help you quickly identify purchased items with costing problems. If the last actual cost for an item equals zero, the standard cost will inherit this zero cost when actual costs are posted.

Only Show Items where Actual and Standard are different

Select to include in the report only those items whose actual and standard costs are not the same. In some cases, items whose actual and standard costs appear to be the same may be included when this option is selected. This is caused by rounding discrepancies in the case where the locale being used allows for greater cost precision than this screen supports. If this occurs, the item record will appear in a different color to indicate the difference occurs at a greater level of precision than can be viewed on the screen.

Show Inactive Items
