Hello Arun, I wanted to ask a question, please. What is the best way to add the machine and labor cost to BoM as an item? We faced an issue with adding this cost as "Service" to the BoM. Knowing the fact that these costs are relevant to the number of units we manufacture in every WO. What we simply want to achieve is adding this cost each time we manufacture our products. e.g., we make ten units; we want to multiply the cost of machine utilization and labor by 10. We can't use work center time utilization, as our costing for machine and labor costing utilization is not time-based. Instead, it's production-based. Looking forward to hearing your feedback.
