ENDIF

 

Ext_cost_total=QtyReqTotal X Stdcost

How is the Actual Labor time calcualated within the Job Costing Module -  It is actually controlled from the Prod WC/Activity Setup screen.  Here you assign a hourly rate to each work centerThen within the T&A log the users can select the Work order and therefore the WC from the routing.  The Job Costing will then take the hours entered * WC hourly rate.  The T&A Setup Types do not have an option to assign any value to it – so this does not dictate any Value within the Job costing module.
