We use standard costing and our product structures are defined accordingly. When we produce a product, say 1000 pounds of final material, the system reserves and backflushes the required materials based on the product structure.
Given that our production is measured in pounds, it is challenging to predict the exact amount of material the recipe will require. We want to know if there is a way, after completing the shop order, to adjust the quantity of material used (either by adding or reducing it). This adjustment would allow us to see the shop order cost variance. Currently, we cannot see any variance as it always matches the standard cost.
Is there a method to achieve this adjustment post-production to reflect the actual material usage and, consequently, see the cost variance?
TLDR : Can we manually issue more material than the assigned quantity in IFS?
Thanks
