We are working on cleaning up our costing process and one thing we have noticed is that when a shop order is created with a standard cost, and then the standard cost is changed (due to routing changes/corrections, year end cost rolls, etc.) the standard cost on the shop order can’t be updated. Then when the shop order is ran and there are actual costs, we are seeing large variances between the original standard cost and the actuals with the new standard cost. I tried the “Calculate Order Cost” button in the Shop Order Costs screen, and that seems to update the estimated cost, but not the planned standard cost. Has anyone run into this and found a way around it?
