Use this form to define the format in which to display the information about the cost of goods sold for a manufactured item. You can also define the basis to calculate manufacturing overheads by using indirect cost calculation formulas. A calculation formula for manufacturing overheads can reflect:

A surcharge percentage that is applied to route and bills of material (BOM) costs.
An amount that is applied to the hourly rates or piece rate for a routing operation.
A rate applied per production quantity output.
A rate applied per production quantity input.

Each calculation formula is uniquely identified by a code identifier, costing version, status, from date, item validity, and site. The item validity can be expressed for all items, an item group, or a specific item. The costing sheet and calculation formulas build on the cost group feature and BOM calculations.

The costing sheet is displayed as part of the Complete form for a manufactured item's calculated cost. It displays either for a cost record in a costing version or for a calculation record that is generated by an order-specific BOM calculation. It is also displayed as part of the price calculation inquiry for a production order. The indirect cost calculation formulas apply to BOM calculations, to production cost estimates, and to reported consumption against a production order.
