The Frontier Product Costing module accurately tracks and calculates product costs based on material, labor, and any established overheads for purchased, make-to-stock, and customer-specified, make-to-order products. Several foundation costing methodologies are supported, providing accurate pricing, profitability, and performance information across all aspects of the Frontier ERP system.
Product Costing Supports:
- Cost tracking by product and plant/warehouse, with costs calculated based on a standard, weighted average or actual costing methodology
- Costs are summarized into four primary buckets (material, labor, fixed overhead, variable overhead), with each primary bucket supported by user-defined cost elements as required
- Automatic calculation of costs for manufactured products based on current production BOM, routing, and associated work center and labor rates
- Visibility of frozen standard, current, future, and last standard costs for all products under a standard cost methodology
- True standard cost support for customer-specified make-to-order products, supporting repeat orders and the tracking of material transfers between plants or warehouses
- Real-time cost calculations for customer-specified make-to-order products to provide margin visibility and cost-plus pricing support during quote and order entry processing
- Production variance tracking based on material substitutions, labor, or operational efficiency variations
- Accurate scrap valuation based on incremental product cost calculations and associated production operation where material was reported scrapped
- Reporting of sales analysis and order margins based on standard/average/actual and/or current costs
