Product Type Settings

This page describes how to set a cost work center and a cost calculation method for each product type and reason code combination.

⚙️ Settings overview

Product type settings let you define the cost work center and cost calculation method for each product type and reason code combination.

Enabling the module

1. Go to Search → Production Variance Settlement Setup.
2. Enable Enable Product Types.
3. To limit retrieved orders by type, select Product Type and the corresponding Reason Code. If there is only one reason code for the type, the system fills it automatically.

Configuring Product Types

1. Go to Search → Product Type Setup.
2. In the list, complete the fields:
   • Product Type — select a type from the list.
   • Reason Code — select a code available for production variances. On the Reason Codes page, mark the code with the Deviation field.
   • Cost Calculation Method — select the calculation method for this combination.
   • Center Type Calculation Method — select the work or machine centers included by the module.
   • Time Calculation Method — select the time considered by the time-used calculation method.
   • Cost Work Center — select a work center for the combination. The module uses this work center when posting the settlement. Do not assign one cost work center to different reason codes.
   • Suggest From G/L Account — select the account whose balance can be used as the amount to distribute. This requires Automatic G/L Account Suggestion in variance settings.

📦 Assigning to items

1. Go to Search → Items.
2. Complete Product Type on the item card.
3. To limit retrieved orders by type, select the same Product Type and Reason Code. The module retrieves only orders for items with the selected type.
