Background: Manufacturing Order Cost Inquiry

Use the Manufacturing Order Cost Inquiry (MJI) program to display costs incurred to date and projected costs to complete a manufacturing order. See Road Map for work flow.

This topic has these subtopics:

Standard Costs
Costs to Date
Projected Costs

Standard Costs

The system captures standard costs at the time you release a manufacturing order. It updates standard costs when you receive the order complete or close it short with the Receiver Maintenance (IRC) program.

Cost to Date

The cost-to-date column displays costs as they occur. Your setting for the Costing method for job cost option in the System Options Maintenance (XM) program (Manufacturing Options) determines the column heading.

If you selected	Column heading	Material cost is based on
A	Avg	Average unit cost
B	Act	Actual unit cost
S	Std	Standard unit cost

Outside service, labor, labor overhead, machine overhead, and adjustment costs are actual costs regardless of the column heading.

The system updates costs-to-date when you perform these tasks with these programs:

Cost type	Updates when
Material	When you pick components with these programs: Manufacturing Order Maintenance (MIM), Material Usage Maintenance (MUA), Manufacturing Order Picking Selection (MSS), Picking Confirmation (MPK), or Secured Picking (SMPK) By operation sequence with WIP Movement (WIPM), Labor Entry (LLE), or Labor Import (LEI) Backflush picking with Receiver Maintenance (IRC)
Outside service	When you receive the purchased order with the Receiver Maintenance (IRC) program
Labor and labor overhead	Enter hours worked in the Labor Entry (LLE) Import hours with the Labor Import (LEI) program Enter pieces completed with the WIP Movement (WIPM) program Backflush labor when you receive finished goods with Receiver Maintenance (IRC)
Machine overhead	When you complete an unattended operation
Adjustments	When you enter a miscellaneous adjustment (type X) in Manufacturing Cost Adjustments (MCA)

Projected Costs

The Projected costs section of the screen shows remaining costs to complete the quantity ordered. For a new manufacturing order, the To complete, Total, and Standard columns typically display the standard costs. However, the Material reflects the actual or average unit cost based on your costing method.

When you have picked all components and completed all operations, the To complete costs typically are .00000. When you receive the quantity ordered into inventory with the Receiver Maintenance (IRC) program, the Manufacturing Order Cost Inquiry no longer displays Projected Costs.
