Hi, In standard AX you can have only a work around for these type of Costing Elements. By creating secondary operations linked to primary operation you can build the costing elements. Note that the Run Time used on the primary operation will be the time that will be used on Secondary.
Other option is to create BOM Components of type "Service" and link to the BOM of the Parent item and use Cost categories to display the break up in the Costed BOM, and also assocaited to GL. These are only work arounds there is no functionality in AX.

We want labour, fixed overhead and variable overhead costs for the items. Except for labour we do not have detailed costs per work center rather total cost for facility. Some items are complex and some simple in that they take more or less time per kg and use a different number of work centers. If we create operations for each of the operations with actual time for the labour cost and a dummy operation for fixed overhead and another for variable overhead how do we get a factor of time in the operation and how do we compute the rate from a total cost for the facility given that multiple jobs can be running in the facility concurrently. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Need a vacation?
