Run a standard cost update

A costing run selects items, costs them, marks the result as the future standard, and releases it.

Open Accounting, Costing Runs, and open the run.

• Select items: type item numbers, or leave the box empty to take every active item with a bill of material in force on the costing date.
• Cost: one cost estimate per item. An item that cannot be costed is listed as an exception. Costing again replaces the run's earlier estimates.
• Mark: the estimates become the future standard, not yet in force.
• Release: each becomes the standard and the stock it re-prices is revalued. The run shows the total revaluation.
• Cancel needs a reason and cancels the run's unreleased estimates.
