Brief
Costing, bills of materials and margin
Standard costing, WIP and a quotation model that agrees with the ledger.
If the estimator, the cell leader and the management accountant name three different job costs, the problem is not the ERP. The standard has not been walked against the floor since go-live.
A rebuild covers the item master, routing, recoveries, scrap, subcontract and the quotation model sales is allowed to use. Then a weekly WIP review that keeps it honest. Until those are one system, pricing is a haggle and the management accounts are a coincidence.
You know what a job costs before you quote it.
