General Tab

1. Use Bill of Materials

Indicate whether the bill of material programs will be used. If do not select this check box, the bill of materials programs are not available for use.

2. Use Formulation

Indicate whether the formulation programs will be used. If do not select this check box, the formulation programs are not available for use.

3. Use EOP Reports

Indicate whether the end-of-period programs will be used. If do not select this check box, the end-of-period reports are not available. However, the End-of-Period Update must be run.

4. Cost To Use

Specify whether to use S-standard, A-average, L-last or M-manual cost when making cost calculations in manufacturing. Press Enter initially defaults to S.

5. Serial/Lot Cost

You have the ability to cost serial and lot items by the system cost (costing method for the module). The feature provides for GAAP compliance. Select from A-Averaged Actual or S-System Cost. The default setting for each Static Control F/M is A-Averaged Actual. The net result of selecting S-System Cost is that serial/lot items will be costed like non-serial/lot items. If the Cost to Use is set to Standard and the IC Costing Method is LIFO or FIFO, the MC Serial/Lot Cost defaults to A-Averaged Actual and cannot be modified.
