Cost Rates
Labour and machine cost per hour.
Early access. Manufacturing can be installed from the App Store, but it is still being proven in real use, so this screen may change.
Overview
Cost rates show what an hour costs at each work centre, and how finished goods are valued (set under General Settings → Costing method). These rates turn the time booked on a job into cost, and the cost roll-up and order costing use them. The page also tells you when posting to Accounting is switched off.
When to use cost rates
- Rates change and you want costs to follow.
Step by step
In the Manufacturing module open Costing in the green navigation bar, then choose Cost Rates under Rates & Accounts.
