Is it possible to perform a  “All Parts Cost Calculation” for multiple sites at once? We have 8 sites, all under the same company. We have one main manufacturing site that sources inventory to all the other sites (hub and spoke model). We need to periodically “rollup”/calculate standard costs for our main manufacturing site. We also want all costs to be consistent throughout all of our sites. Thus, we must roll the cost at our main site first, then all other sites to make sure the costs match.

Rather then calculating cthen copying to cost set 1] 8 separate times, can we perform it once for our main site and once for all (7 total) other sites?

I am using IFS Aurena Apps 10 btw

P.S. the Site parameter on the “All Parts Cost Calculation” screen does not allow me to use semi-colons to specific multiple values e.g. Site1;Site2;Site3,...

Hi,

You can calculate costs for all your ‘user allowed sites’ in the same job, by leaving Site field blank (or 😵. However the order of the sites selected internally by the job is not predictable, i.e we don’t do any sorting on sites.

Similar with the Copy Costs to Cost Set One job.

There are also possibilities if you schedule the jobs using a Background Queue that just can run 1 job at a time. Then as example your main site can start 1:00 AM, the next site 1:10 AM and so forth… and then this should use a background queue that can only handle 1 job at a time.

Cheers,

Mats
